BRAIN AND BULLET.
Mat Happens When the Skull 10
Pierced by Shot.


The results of firing a bullet at
dat brittle bone and into q soft sub
stance like the brain are very different.
The bone is pierced, and the lateral dis
placement of its particles is very slight,
but the brain is thrown aside in all d.
rections. The difference is due to the
different degree of cohesiveness Of the
PARTICLES composing the two bodies or,
In other words, to the greater fiuidity
Of the softer structure.
Next, the Importance Of fluid con-
tents in intensifying the effects of
bullet fired through a closed recepta-
Gle is shown by one of Kocher's expert
ments. Two identical tin canisters
were filled with equal quantities of
lint, which in one was dry and in the
other saturated with water.
A bullet of moderate velocity fired
through them simply perforated the
dry one, but caused the wet one to
burst eXplosively. Kocher also filled
skull with water and found that
bullet fired through it caused bursting
of the sutures.
Very remarkable is the shattering
that results when skulls that have been
filed with water or with wax are
treated in this way, and If they are
compared with others showing the eff
fects of bullet wounds under normal
conditions it is easy to appreciate that
the variations presented are depend
ent, in part at least, upon the differ
ence In the character of the CONTENTS

Joel didn't do any work the rest of
the afternoon. He simply sat and
thought The result was that when
evening came he headed for the Hen
derson homestead. He was going to
see Minnie and find out what had hap
pened. 1t was Aunt Judith who was
at the gate when he came up, and she
didn't lose any time, saying:

of me. I'm Minnie's aunt. Walk along

you this for your own good"
Next day farmers little girl
brought Minnie a note, and half an
hour after receiving it she was down
in the hickory grove talking with Joel.
When she returned to the house, she
looked pale and acted in a nervous
manner but she was not questioned.
Soon after supper she pleaded head
ache and went to her ROOM and Aunt
Judith and Elisha and Hannah winked
at each other. At o'clock the house
was quiet. At 10 Aunt Judith entered
the spare bedroom, where husband and
wife sat waiting, and said:
"Well, it's over with. Joel came to
the gate and whistled softly ten min

Queer Chinese Belief,

1t is a common belief among China
men that if one commits any crime
against certain animals-cats, for ex-
ample-the soul of that animal will
take possession of the wrongdoer until
the offense has been purged. A serv-
ant girl, according to the oriental tale,
unmindful of tradition, put to death a
cat and it's three kittens. She was
taken violently i'll. Her mistress, sus-
pecting the cause from the fact that
the maid was scratching and mewing,
apostrophized The body of the dead
cat, demanding to know why 1t thus
tormented the girl. The spirit of the
cat, speaking by way of the girls
mouth, denounced the quadruple muir
der. The whole story was told by the
girl in the character of the cat Then
she expired in violent commissions.

A Hindoo mahout was employed with

that his elephant made frequent at

afterward, by a most remarkable coin

again in Maulmain, Burma, and no
sooner was the big tusker out of sight
