Horseshoer's Skull Flattened Bullets.

The surgeons of the Harlem Hospital, in
New York city, are examining what they
believe to be a remarkable instance of the
resistance of the human skull to the impact
of bullets. The patient is William Murphy,
a horseshoer, twenty-seven years old.
Yesterday he fired two bullets from a re-
volver at his forehead with the muzzle of
the weapon within SIX inches of its mark.
After the first shot he fell to the floor of
saloon. When a barkeeper ran to him and
exclaimed: What are you doIng-trying to
kill yourself?'' the horseshoer sat UP and
replied: "Yes. but don't seem to have sue
ceeded; so here goes for another shot" He
then fired again, and when an ambulance
had been summoned, waved assistance aside
and walked unaided to the vehicle, declar-
ing that the bullets had not hurt him.
At the hospital the first bullet was found
In the flesh of Murphy's forehead and was
somewhat fattened. Apparently 1t had not
injured the bone. The second bullet had
been DETECTED and made a scalp wound.

To Aarne.. Victoria Falls.

Consul General Washington of Cape
Town thinks that South Africa Is on
the eve OF Introducing vast changes in
its Industrial life. He looks for the
transmission OF electrical power that
Is to be generated by the mighty rivers
Of the interior. The question OF the
trical power from the Victoria Falls,
the consul general says. Is TO be con
sidered by Il committee of experts.
Two engineering specialists to the
Victoria company are inspecting water
power installations In European coun'
tries with view to their application
to Rhodesia. Americas supremacy In
the electrical field should secure the
orders for machinery and supplies
that will be needed to develop this
vast water power.
An electrical engineer from New
York has been visiting Europe in con.
nection with the project OF supplying
electrical power to the Rand from the
Victoria Falls. He and the highest
European authorities whom the char.
~tered company consulted in the matter
were unanimous that the scheme was
not only possible, but was payable.
The experts regarded the climate OF
South Africa as the most suitable in
the world for the transmission OF
power, because. apart from its dry.
ness, there is no ice or snow to inter.
\ Afere with the working. of the plant.
'rhe distance over which transmission
would have to be made presents, they
declare, absolutely no difficulty.
