THE FIRST FuRRow.
rHos. coNLIN, Editor.

Brcathes there man OF rustic birth,
An erstwhile tlllor OF the earth.
When thinking DER that youthful charm
or plowboy days upon the farm.
Sees pleasure In this busy mart
So dear 10 every kindred heart.
With memories so sweet and keen
AS those that crowd upon the scene
OF every retrospective glance
That you and / anon may chance
To cast upon that canopy
That pictures youth to you and me?
In all your worldly conquests fair.
Castles OF stone and those OF air.
Your winnings on the board OF trade
And great investments shrewdly made,
You've had no trlumphs, Ill allow,
So great as when you grasped the pillow
And turned your first fresh furrow down.
No new-made king with jeweled crown
Felt half the pride when at his best
That swellcd within your youthful breast
AS you followed up the old grays' pull
And turned furrow deep and full.
You scarce could reach the handles there,
So high they were up in the air.
And, sorely vexed you wondered why
The inventor put them on 50 high.
For really, now that you could plow.
You were man, all must ayow,
And free likewise 10 criticlse
The builder OF that pillow unwisc.
And worthy OF no kind comment
For making plows without intent
OF changing defects plain 10 Sec
No handles where they ought Z be.
But OH. how short the time seems now
That the handles on that same old plow
Changed thcmsclves-can Il be so?-
Until they were, for you. too low.
so you realize, as do now.
That the changes In that staid old plow
Apparently were ever due
To something OF a change I'm you.
Those days OF joys and sorrows. then,
You in fancy live them DER again
The days when, free from noisy town.
You turned your first fresh furrow down

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

Very often a soldier gets so severe
wound from the tiny bullet OF the
modern rifle that he concludes the en-
envy has no respect for the Geneva
convention, and is using the terrible
explosive bullets which no civilized
nation uses now. Surgeons who know
yheir business are, says Answers, well
aware OF the explanation OF this mis-
take. The explosive effects are due TO
the air which the bullet drives before
IL into the wound.
Anyone can put the matter TO a
simple test. by dropping n round
bullet into n glass OF water from q
height OF one or two yards II will be
seen that the moment the bullet
touches the bottom n very large bulb
bic or air will become detached and
rise to tho surface. In some cases
this bubble has volume OF air 20
times as large as the bullet
But when n rifle bullet is travelling
at immense speed IL drives before IL
a compressed bubble much larger still
A military surgeon fired pistol into
a vessel OF water so arranged that he
was able TO catch and mcasur~ the air
bubble. and he found 10 tc be 100
times the size OF the ball
The destructive effects Of this mass
OF air when IL gets into n mans body
may he imagined. II regularly ex-
plodes. tearing the muscles In ter
ribic manner. In fact. very often the
soldier who Is said 70 have died from
o bullet wound In really killed by this
explosive volume Of air, which IS APP
propriatcly called "projectile air."

rhotosraphing 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 photographers, but DIR. 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 n fair amount OF sue
cess. One OF the usual tests is the OBJ
servation Of certain reflections in the
camera and pupil produced by a sym
mctrical object held in front Of the
eye. The degree of distortion and the
reflection or displacement from its
normal position determine with accur-
acy the state OF vision and form the
basis OF subsequent operations. Photo
graphs OF these reflections are now be-
ing made TO guide the ophthalmic spe-
cialists in their diagnoses.
