DanRers of african Travel.

Travelling in Africa is doubtless beset
with more danger than in any other
port of the world. Wild beasts. wild
men. poisonous plants, storms, fevers,
and other sickness combine to make a
formidable array. A recent traveller in
Gwalah, district in northeast Africa,
encountered new danger. Vegetation
is very mxuriant and when he pitched
camp he noticed that number of dead
birds lay on the ground. Before he had
time to comment on this fact, four Of
the dogs. which had been smelling
around. keeled over. and died within
five minutes. 1t was supposed that they
had eaten some poisonous plant; but
this idea was dispelled when three Of
the natives. who had slept on the
ground were found dead next morn
ing. Then II was discovered that there
was stratum Of deadly gas covering
the ground, to the depth of three or
four inches. The traveller with HIS
troupe, lost no time in getting out OF
that vicinity.

this spin is the immediate cause OF

structive effect more than half as much

In comparing the destructive effects
of bullets on the human body three
types of wounds have to be distinguish
ed: Pure flesh wounds, wounds in
which bone is involved and crushing
effects are produced. and wounds in
which the bullet has passed through a
cavity with fluid contents. such as the
capsule of the liver containing blood
and hepatic substance. the medulary
cavity of a long bone containing mar
row, or the skull containing brain and
blood. Further. it is important to rec
ognize clearly that neither the wound
of entrance nor the wound of exit is
any index to the amount Of destruction
wrought. The entrance and exit
wounds of fully mantled bullets are
almost Invariably equal to the diameter
OF the bullet Arteries, tendous. or
nerves situated in the axis of the pro
lection are cut through. but If outside
that axis and yet IN the destructive
track of the bullet they are left prac-
tically uninjured. But the results are

aware Of the unenyiable nOt0riety
which the dum-dum bullet has already
gained, experts having, probably with
out n single exception, characterized 1t
as unnecessarily cruel, detestable, and
inhuman." The destructive power Of
any bullet is represented by the amount
Of force it can dispose Of on its passage
through the body, and the greater the
eXpansibility the greater the force

the destruction produced. The ideal
destructive bullet is one which eXpends
all its force in the tissues on impact,
and the modified British service bullet
comes very near perfection.
Perhaps a third factor in the destruct-
