DEADLY AIR BUBBLES.
More Soldiers Are Killed by Them
Than by the Leaden Missiles
That Produce Them.

Very often a soldier gets so severe
a wound from the tiny bullet of the
modern rifle that he concludes the en-
emy has no respect for the Geneva
convention, and is using the terrible
explosive bullets which no civilized
nation uses nov: Surgeons who know
their business are, says Answers, we'll
aware of the explanation of this mis-
take. The explosive effects are due to
the air which the bullet drives before
it into the wound.
Anyone can put the matter to a
simple test. BY dropping a round
bullet into a glass of water from a
height of one or two yards it will be
seen that the moment the bullet
touches the bottom a very large bub-
bic of air will become detached and
rise to the surface. In some cases
this bubble has volume of air 20
times as large as the bullet.
But when a rifle bullet is travelling
at immense speed it drives before it
a compressed bubble much larger still.
A. military surgeon fired pistol into
vessel of water so arranged that he
was able to catch and measure the air
bubble, and he found it to be 100
times the size of the ball. r..
The destructive effects of this mass
of air when it gets into mans body
may be imagined. It regularly ex-
plodes, tearing the muscles in a. ter
rible manner. In fact, very often the
soldier who is said to have died from
bullet wound is really killed by this
explosive volume of air, which is ap-
propriately called tprOtectile air."

IMITATION.
Which Its Advocates Recent-
~ Denounced.

Over 400 applications for charters
for national banks under the new
financial law have been made and most
banks now in existence have prepared
to issue circulation up to the full
amount of their capital.
This means sure and great imitation
of the currency.
What will result from this sudden
increase can be easily surmised by those
familiar with such matters. Specula-
tion will run riot and when payday
comes there will be great panic.
Another feature of the new law is
the fact that it is going to cause con-
gestion of money in the treasury for
the reason that war taxes are counted
and this money cannot be used to pay
off bonds unless they are purchased
in the open market at premium.
When it is realized that the excess OF
receipts for expenditures is from $s,.
000. 900 to $10.000.O0o month, the evil
of this surplus becomes at once evident.
1t will prove standing tempta tion
for the subsidy schemes and private
enterprises will try to loot the treas
ury for their own enrichment. The
merchant marine subsidy bill is a fair
example of this sort of enterprise.
Practically the gold bill has fastened
a perpetual national debt on the peo-
pie of this country.
Holders of outstanding bonds which
mature within nine years can exchange
them for the new bonds running 80
years and the government can find no
way of paying off its debt, no matter
how much money it may have in the
treasury.
Thus, while heavily taxed, the people
are prevented from paying off the ma
| tional debt.
With imitation as one result of the
gold bill and perpetual ton of the ma
! tional debt as another evil, the meas
ure is certainly condemned as one of
the most ill-advised ever passed by con-
gress.

ALL HUMBUG.
Republican PrOtestations on Behal1

Congressman Grosvenor (republic-

THE MONEY STANDARD.
Why the Debtor II So vitality Inter-
exted In the Restoration
OF Silver.

A money standard fixes the general
range of prices, that is money values.
1t operates equally upon everything
that is bought or sold. If there were no
Indebtedness the nominal price OF any
species of property would be imma-
terial. The only value of money is in
it's power to purchase. In the absence
of debt money standard which made
the price of wheat Is cents would be
just as advantageous to the farmer as
one which made it a dollar, because the
purchasing power of 25 cents under the
one standard would be equal to that
of one dollar under the other. He
would be Just as rich with farm rated
in money at $3.50 as with the same farm
under q double standard rated at
$1,000.
Even as to debts, the character Of
a money standard is of no Importance
so long as they are paid under the same
standard as that under which they
were contracted. 1t is a change of
standard operating upon pre-eXisting
debts by altering the terms of the con-
tract which does injustice. If there
were no indebtedness, even change
of standard, while it might be in
convenient, would not violate any
principle of justice. 1t is debt, and
debt alone, which makes change from
Il double metallic standard to a single
standard of gold dishonest.
Of course there are certain demands
called fixed charges which, so far as
they are fixed, have in this respect
the same economic force as debts. They
are defined by saying that practically
they do not vary with other prices by
reason of the scarcity or abundance
of money. Taxes and street car fares
are illustrations of a quite numer-
Gus class. But they are fixed, not by
any force of monetary law, but by in
cidental considerat ions, mainly by GUS
tom or some form of monopoly. I'm
der normal and just conditions they
should vary with other things in ac-
cordance with the money supply. Debts
are payable, however, in dollars, and.
unlike anything else, the obligations
which they impose vary necessarily and
directly with the relative cheapness or
dearness of the unit of account as fixed
by a money standard.-C ]. Hilyer, in
National Watchman.

PhotOgraphing the Eye.

PhOtOgraphing the Eye.
A satisfactory reproduction of such
restless and delicate subject as the
human eye has hitherto been consid-
cred beyond the power of the average
amateur photographer, but DR.. Mad
dox, late assistant ophthalmic surgeon
to the Edinburgh Royal infirmary, has
realized the value of records of eye
operations, and experiments in photo
graphing the eye have lately been made
in Edinburgh with a fair amount of sue
cess. One of the usual tests is the OBJ
servation of certain reflections in the
camera and pupil produced by sym
metrical object held in front of the
eye. The degree of distortion and the
reflection or displacement from is
normal position determine with accu1-
acy the state of vision and form tho
basis of fsubsequentoperations. Photo
graphs of these reflections are now be-
ing made to guide the ophthalmic spe-
cialists in their diagnoses.
