Flow of Blood Stopped by Music.

Flow of Blood Stopped by Music.
Perhaps the strangest use to which
music can be put is to stop the flow
of blood from a wound. An army
doctor noticed that when al. wounded
soldier was taken to within an easy
hearing distance to music hemorrhage
was greatly reduced or stopped.
Neither he nor Others who confirmed
his observations, could understand
how this phenomenon was brought
about, but it is now believed that the
vibration of the air produced by the
music causes the patient to become
faint, in which case the action of the
heart is so considerably lessen that
the overflow of blood is reduced.

JAPANESE ATTACK
VLADlVOSTOCk

vladivostock, March Ga fleet OF
five Japanese battleships and two
cruisers appeared on this place at las
o'clock this afternoon and bombardcd
the town and shore batteries for nifty
five minutes.
The fleet approached from the dircc-
ton OF Askold island. at the east en-
trance to ussuri bay. and about thirty
two miles southeast Of vladivostock.
Entering Ussuri bay the enemy
formed line Of battle. but did not ap-
proach TO close range.
They directed their fire against the
shore batteries and the town. but no
damage resulted. as most OF their 200
lydditc shells failed to burst.
The Russian batteries. commanded
by Generals vernonet and Artamon-
on. did not reply. awaiting closer ap-
proach of the enemy. The japanese
fire ceased at 2:2O p. m. and the enemy
retired In the direction OF Askold Is
land.
simultaneously two torpedo boat de-
stroyers appeared near Askold island
and two more near Cape Maidel. The
japanese ships. were covered with ice.
The attack resulted in no loss to the
Russians. but cost the enemy 100000
roubles ts100.OOO) in ammunition. Most
OF the projectiles were six and twelve
inch shells.
The population of vladivostock was
warned this morning OF the presence on
the horizon of a hostile fleet and the
prospect of attack during the day. but
It remained tranquil.
