BULLETS AS EVIDENCE.

Odd Facts Developed by. Their Prom
inencc In Murder Trials.
The important part played in many
murder trials by. fiuttcned md mis-
shapen bit Of lead OF steel, once in tho
form Of bullet. often lends to the de-
yelopment Of some curious facts, says
tho Baltimore American. A leaden bull
let will lose appreciably In weight by
being fired, and the form Of the barrel
may tend to reduce It's size. In rIflo
some Of the lead is taken of by the
grooves The friction also heats and
tends to partially melt the outside of
the ball, and because Of this 1t changes
its shape In the mir.
One peculiar fact about a bullet ia
that 1t will very often make wound Of
entry smaller than the projectile itself
even In SO brittle substance rs glass.
Another strange fact about bullet is
TINT 1t will often pass through inter-
vening clothing, making hole that can
hardly be noticed, and yet carry on its
point a circular piece Of cloth. The car
rying Of bits of clothing. hair or dirt in
to wounds in such a manner greatly
enhances the dangers Of peritonitis.
Were 1t not for this latter contact the
bullet would not be .nenrly go danger
GUS, as Its rapid flight and heating
mnke It practically sterile.
Blaclrened edges OF wounds are more
likely to have been .cnused by, n lead
bullet, although the ball with lead tip
could also produce this result Regard

iaIngynr :version OF tho IIxpnision'
From the Garden OF Eden.
Among tho. folklore ot the pensantry
Of Roumania and some Of the ndjoin-
Ing Magyar stntes ,of eastern Europe
ts found the story OF tho expulsion Of
our first parents from the garden Of
Eden. 1t runs thus:
When Adam and Eve fell, God sent
Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to turn
them cut OF Eden as a; n;punishment for
their Sin. Gabriel was received most
courteously. food and drink OF the
best being set before him. Now, Ga
briel had kind heart and took pity
upon the poor folk and would not uc-
cept their hospitality, remembering his
errand. SO he returned and begged
that some Qlie else be sent to evict the
sinners, as he really could not do 1t.
The Raphael. the Roumanian angel,
was sent and wns received as Gabriel
had been. He, however, was very fond
Of good dinner, and 80 he sat down
and thoroughly enjoyed himself. The
feast over. he told the erring pair his
errand. They ut once began to weep
most piteously and beg for mercy.
Their bitter sorrow sStouched his aft.

and asked that some one else be sent,
as he could not possibly turn out the
poor folk after accepting their hospital

pair and treated even more sumptu.

-..Is u our econolnlu conditions.
Our monopol;stic revolution is
profoundly disturbing the foreign
trade relations of European
nations; international commercial
competition is tast increasing in
intensity, and those movements
can only add to the confusion
arising from the Legislative treat

conditions are happening stimuli
taneonsly with the beginnings Of
an unavoidable reaction ftom a
period Of unprecedented national
prosperity, largely stimulated by
speculation. Unmistakable symp-
