JAPANESE NAVAL SURGERY.

hardly i've per cent. Of wounds. eveE

KILLED IN RAILROAD WRECKS
More People Lose Their Lives That
Way Than Are Slain in
Battle.

A report recently issued by the inter
state commerce commission shows that
the total number of casualties TO persons
on railroads in the United States. during
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1904, was
65,l3O, comprising 2,7S7 killed and 81, 343
Injured. This, writes Frederick Upham
Adams, in Success Magazine, shows q
large increase over any other e 1t is
a large total, and, in COMPARISON. may be
said to be similar to the complete de-
struction of any one of such cities as
Salt Lake City, Utah; San Antonio.
Texas; Racine, Wis; Topeka, Kan;
Waterbury, Conn; Wilkesbarre, Pa, or
Augusta, Ga, neither of which has any
thing like $1,000 inhabitants. In both
the American and British armies, Sep
TENDER 10 and October Z, II and u, 1777,
In the series Of fights and movements
around Saratoga, as included by E. S.
Greasy in his Fifteen Decisive Battles
Of the World there were less than 20
600 men; while the highest total given
by c. X. Adams, in Johnson's 'Cyclo-
paedia,' of the killed, wounded and
missing on both sides at Waterloo, one
OF the greatest battles of all time, Is
b4,42S men-not so many by 702 as last
years total of United States railroad
casualties. The number of collisions
al derailments during the past year
was 1921, involving s9,3S3, O97 in dam
ages to rolling stock and roadbeds. This
gives the astounding increase of GAS coll
lisions and derailments over 1903--as-
founding but for the reduction of EN-
plcyes, in 1904, of $4,000.

It has been year of cabinet upheavals.
France, Denmark, Italy, Holland, Spain,
Greece, Roumania-all have had crises to
meet and master, while In England and
Austria Hungary such situations are still
onainous. AT London Mr.. Balfour has been
forced to resign with his entire cabinet,
Sir Henry Campbell Bannerman succeed

now is. Austria-Hungary shows the world
the disorderiy side of that same question
which, in the case OF Norway. offered the
face OF sweet reasonableness." Franz

peoples opposed in ideas and modes, has

In Europe.
