Shot Through the Heart and Lives.

Cures by suture Of wounds Of the
heart are becoming more and more
common. Hitherto, however, all Of the
cases reported have been Of wounds
caused by knife or sword. but N.
Launay, a young surgeon attached to
the Paris hospitals, has just related to
the Academy Of Medicine the details OF
q case In which the heart was pierced
by q revolver bullet. During the oper.
alton the bullet was found lying in the
pericardial cavity. There were two
wounds Of the ventricle. one on the
anterior surface. and the other on the
posterior surface; these were sutured
with catgut. The pericardium was
then sutured in its turn. and the flap Of
the thoracic wall was fastened In place.
No drainage was employed, and the
patient recovered without q single bad
symptom.-The Lancet.

In this country was recently
received at the American Museum OF
Natural History. The magnificent tail
feathers Of this creature measure near
ly twelve feet. and are strikinsly set

and had one grown for the Museum.
The Introduction Of the breed Is
said TO have been brought about by
prince Of Japan. whose imperial crest
was 4 feather. Yearly he offered
prize to the subject who would bring
to him the longest feather. The great
est skill and effort were therefore en-
ployed by the breeders to produce the
greatest length Of tail feathers possible.
At present only few old fanciers
know the secret process OF successfully
breeding these fowls. A few authen-
tic details have. however. been obtained
in regard to the method Of their breed

and Is fast dying out. There Is said
to be no artificial method Of making
the feathers grow. AL Is done by Sc
lection. Moreover. one must know how
to treat the birds during the various
stages Of tail growth. The body feath-
crs springing from the shoulders attain
a length Of four feet. Two years is the
time necessary TO produce full
growth Of tail. The tail feathers grow
from four TO seven inches q month.
and continue to increase as long as the
bird lives. which Is usually from eight
to ten years. The hens lay about thirty
eggs in the spring and autumn. which
are hatched by other fowl. The hens
are kept housed up. and sit all day on
a fat perch. and are taken out only
once In two days and allowed to walk
half an hour or SO. a man holding up
the tails to prevent them from being
torn or soiled. The birds are fed on
unhulled rice and greens. and secret
food known and prepared by the old
fanciers themselves. They demand
plenty OF water and are wonderfully
tame. The ordinary number Of long.
tail feathers possessed by each bird
Is fifteen or sixteen. About twice
day they are carefully washed In warm
water. and afterward dried on some
high place, usually roof. The pres
ent price Is $50 for bird having
tail over ten feet long. There are four
varieties OF the breed: White head and
body feathers and tail black: second,
white all over. with yellow legs: third,
red neck and body feathers: fourth,
reddish color mixed with white on
body. All these. with the exception
OF the second variety. have black tail
