DEMOCRATS WEAK IN WIsCONSIN.-Of Mr.
Bryan's prospects Ia Wisconsin The Milwaukee
Sentinel" has the following TO say:

Nowhere in the State is there the slightest evi-
dence that Organism and debaSed money are more
in favor this year than in any previous campaign
The Wisconsin Democracy existing and accounted
as regular Is by jealous riValries between
ond leaders more ambitious for prestige with
National leaders than hopeful OF any sort of sue
cess in any part of Wisconsin. None Of the old time
leaders OF National repute are even recognized as
within the party organization for voting purposes
and the remnant Is largely directed BY men who
have just been defeated in a struggle against spe-
cifiC approval of the free silver folly by the party
in the Nation. There is not even hope enough
among Wisconsin Democrats to bring to the front
a sufficient number of the patient olhco seeK,- D

Offices and members of Congress four weeks I'm ad-

NORTH CAROLINA CONGRESS DISTRICTS
whether any Republican Congressml IN VIII be
elected in North Carolina this year at the NoVem-
her election will depend upon the result or the
Arq,,st election at which the Constitutional
amendment to restrict the right of suffrage IN the
Old North State will be voted on If it Is carried
although it will become operative until after
the November eection-it will probably cause the
defeat of every Republican candidate for Congress
in that State" 1t was thus that an experienced
leader who knows good deal about North
Carolina politics summed up the prospect IN
that State yesterday. In the present congress
three of the North Carolina Representatives are
Republicans and is a Populst, the remainder
being Democrats. Three Congress dlstrlcts are
normally Republican.

PrOjectile Air.
From the Literary Digest.


Physicians in South Africa, says a press
report, now have another theory for ex-
planning away the charges made by both
Rriton and Boer that the other Is using ex-
plosive bullets. The extensive laceration
often found in bullet wounds is now said to
be due to the air which the bullet drives
before 1t into the wound. 1.-THE existence of
this phenomenon can be proved easily. If
a round bullet be dropped into a glass of
water from the height Of a few feet 1t will
be seen that when the bullet touches the
bottom a 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,
a Mauser bullet travelling at high speed, is
said to carry before it bubble of COM
pressed air of large dimensions. Expert
ments made by surgeon who fired pistol
ball into glass Of water showed the bub-
BILE to be 100 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
laceration. This destructive air bubble is
well known to surgeons under the name of
projectile air."
