Physicians in South Africa now
have another theory for explaining
away the charges made by both Briton
and Boer that the other is using ex-
plosive bullets. The extensive lacera-
ton often found in bullet wounds is
now said to be due to the air which
the bullet drives before it into the
wound. The existence of this phen-
omenon can be proved easily. If q
round bullet be dropped into a glass
OF water from the height OF few feet
it will be seen that when the bullet
touches the bottom large bubble OF
air will become detached and rise to
the surface. In this case the bubble
will usually be from ten to twenty
times the size of the bullet.
Now, q Mauser bullet travelling al
high speed is said to carry before it q
bubble of compressed air of large
dimensions. Experiments made by
surgeon who fred q pistol ball into
a glass of water showed the bubble to
be one hundred times the size of the
ball. From the appearance OF the
wounds and from these experiments
it is concluded that the mass of air
driven by Mauser bullet explodes in
the body of the wounded man with
sufficient force to cause extensive
liberation. This destructive ali
bubble is we'll known to surgeons
under the name of projectile air.

two thousand miles, and none of it
from less than one hundred miles.
Numerous stores and saloons has ar
ranged themselves on both sides of q
well-defined street (which was here
and there centrally interrupted by
building transgressions), the familiar
signs of dancing and boxing bouts
were displayed in front of more than
comfortably filed faro and roulette es-
tablisments, and in general way the
site wore the aspect of riding q boom

Can the arid lands of xeat.rn IA,

Can the arid lands Of western Kan
sas, Utah and other states subject to
drought be made to raise crops regu-
larly year after year, and that without
irrigation? H. w. Campbell, farmer,
formerly Of Brown county, South Da-
kota, claims that they can. He has

duce crops In the sun-baksd territory.
no matter how dry the season may be.
His plan is based upon the theory that
droughts are caused not by lack of
sufficient fall of moisture, but by too
rapid evaporation. He plows the soil
deeply and subpacks the lower por-
ton, thus forming a shallow water
reservoir under the surface. The top
strata Of earth Is then pulverized as
fine as dust and kept SO by frequent
STRINGS, forming a fine dust, which
chokes the pores of the soil, cutting on
evaporation and leaving the moisture
in the earth to be drawn on by the
roots OF the growing plants.

The Disease 10 More Frequent With
Young Than Old.


The vermiform appendix, inAamma.
tion of which constitutes appendicitis,
Is curious little offshoot from the
large intestine near the point where it
Is joined by the small intestine. It ID
hollow tube about as thick as lead.
pencil, from an inch to several inches
in length, which communicates with
tho cavity of the large intestine but is
closed at its free extremity. Nobody
knows definitely what it's use is, and
many think it has no use at all.
1t is a popular belief that infam.
nation of the appendix is often caused
by the Judgment In it OF grape-seed
or some similar little body, but as q
matter of fact this very seldom occurs,
and no one need deprive himself OF d
delicious and nourishing fruit from
any such fear. ses
There are probably very few per-
sons of middle age who have not had
appendicitis, but fortunately they did
not know it. 1t is only when the in.
fammation becomes severe, and in.
wolves the parts about the appendix,
that violent symptoms appear, and
this occurs In only small proportion
OF cases. se ....y. :s,,,,.S j -. {.
The disease is more frequent with
the young than with the middle-aged
or old. -
In mild cases the only symptom is
slight dull or colicky pain in or near
the right groin. When the inaamma-
tion'is more severe, or extends to the
neighboring parts, the symptoms be-
come more pronounced. There is
sharp pain in the abdomen, signs of
dyspepsia-loss of appetite, nausea or
vomiting, and bowel Disturbances
are present, and there is often slight
fever.
In the most serious cases q sudden,
violent pain occurs, there is marked
fever, and the patient is depressed
and presents oil the signs of being
very ill. Hiccough is often a distress
ing symptom.
The treatment of appendicitis is one
of the points upon which doctors dis
agree. Some believe that in nearly
every case cure will follow rest in
bed, milk diet, cold applications to
the abdomen and sedative remedies.
Others assert that an operation is
necessary in every instance, and that
this should be performed the instant
a diagnosis of appendicitis is made,
before serious symptoms appear.
The proper course, here ss else
where, is doubtless the middle one,
Tor in many cases an operation is alb
necessary to save life, while
in others recovery will take place with

ous risk. In any case sufferer from
