Wasns Devour Spiders.

DR.. Dallinger describes the ruthless
destruction of spiders by the ichneu-
mon fly and by certain Wasps. The
young of some wasps can live only on
live spiders. and the mother wasp.
therefore. renders the spider powerless
by her sting-after which it can live
month-and then deposits it in the CO.
coon where she has laid her egg. On
Matching out the wasp grubs feed on
the bodies of the living spiders. An
other wasp deposits her egg in the
body of spider. which is then buried
alive and is fed upon by the wasp
grub.

HEART WOUNDS.
Not Necessarily Fatal Unless the Weak
est Spot Is Punctured.

In wounds of the heart itself the escape
of blood is never IN large quantity, and
the lethal consequences are due to the
fact that the escape of blood from within
its cavity Tor cavities) into the surround
ing sac of the pericardium mechanically
interrupts the alternate contraction and
expansion by which its pumping action is
maintained Accordingly, the results of
wounds of the heart are usually identical
with those of gradual suffocation. This
fact was Strikingly demonstrated in the
case of the Empress of Austria. And the
diabolic skill and precision with which
the wound was inflicted in her case offer
a diagrammatic Illustration of neces-
sarily fatal wound of the heart. The in
strument used was too large to form
mere needle puncture;' it was inflicted
TOO high in the chest to be mon penetrat-
ing, for it was aimed with truly fiendish
ingenuity at the position of one OF the
thin walled of the four cavities of the
heart. and the directness of the penetra-
ton, combined with the thinness of the
wall of the cavity, rendered it physically
impossible that the wound could be wal
vular." The Israelte warrior of old
smote the enemy-when possible-''be-
meath the fifth rib" because the impulse
of the heart is felt there. But he prob
ably did not know that it is in that pre-
else position that a wound of the heart is
least necessarily fatal The italian as
Sassin of recent date displays incompara-
bly, greater skill and knowledge The
science of the present day also proves
that the historic account of the death of
Admiral Fillneuye is open to Skeptical
doubt. And the recent cases of Suture of
the heart give illustration that modern
surgical skill may attempt. and with
success the. seemingly ssible.-Amer-

Child at Tyler Horribly Injured
Today.
Fire Popped Out and Ignited Little
Girls Garments.
SHE INHALED THE FLAMES

The three year old daughter of Ar
thur Patillo. Of Tyler, KY, a small
postoffice just outside the city limits
on the Benton road, was fatally burned
this morning about 10 O'Clock while
play ing near the fire at home.
The child had been left on the floor
by its mother who had stepped out in
the yard for q few minutes. On return
ing to the house she saw the baby
writhing ON tie floor,a mass of flames.
She hastenea to the infant and seizing
it ran out into the open air with it in
her arms. By the time she reached the
yard her screams had attracted the
neighbors who came running over to
tender what assistance they could and
succeeded in smothering out the flames.
Drs. ]. 8. Troutman and J. G.
Pendley were summoned and upon ex-
animation found that the child had in
hailed part of the flames and that the
right side was burned to a crisp. The
infant relapsed into an unconscious
state and is not expected to live. The
mother does not know exactly how
the clothes Of her infant caught fire
but supposed IL had goue too near the
fire in the CRATE or that q piece OF
burning wood popped out and logged
in the folds Of the child,s Dress.
