The idea of the public as TO who bears The ex-

tho greater part of the burden rests upon the ISL

of the Black Sea. 1t is a peculiar route this
long, wet trail across the Continent of Europe,
and one that only few have ever followed
throughout its course. 1t winds up against the
current of swift rivers and twists through tortu-
Gus canals; here, climbing. climbing, through
endless locks 1t mounts from the level of one
high plateau to that above 1t, until the air
grows rare and fine and the nights, even in mid
summer, are cold. Then down again il goes,
crossing bridges which span wide rivers and
through long, lnky tunnels where the water is
Styxlike and the roar OF the engine threatens
TO bring down the mountain through which one
burrows Down, down. through locks de-
scendfng the mountains in a flight of watery
stairs Rivers again: swift, treacherous rivers
beset with shoals and rocks and traffic. and
swinging bridges set like traps for the unWary

and over q mountain range. descending the
further side to join a lovely. rushing stream
which five hundred miles below becomes a Won

spirits have already taken IT. But it to

A MIRACLE OF MODERN SURGERY.

. If was in 1896 that the world was startled by
wound in mans heart BY 1862 the opera
zion had been frequently attempted, and of the
tnocr cases there were nearly 40 per cent of
yecove ries. The percentage is slightly higher in
,be latest tabulation. So rooted is our belief
.hat the heart is the most vulnerable organ of
the body that find il hard TO believe that it
can be operated successfully. Yet the per
centage OF recoveries almost equals that of re-
coveries from bullet wounds in the abdomen. An
sniurv 10 the most vital organ is, with modern
surgery no longer necessarily fatal, says a
writer on the Miracles OF Modern Surgery in
she May issue Of the New Broadway Maga-
zine"
Perhaps the most marvellous case on record
Is that Of a patient brought in with a bullet
wound IN such place that the missile must
have reached the heart The man still breathed
INT there was scarcely any pulse. He was oper-
sted upon at once and soon the heart was
exposed q Jet of blood twenty inches high
spurted from the wound This was Immediately
stitched up, stopping the loss Of blood But
where was the bullet? Cautiously the heart
vas lifted up. There was no sign that the bull
let had gone through it. 1t must have lodged
in the heart itself All. the surgeon can feel it
plainly in the wall opposite the wound. To
leave il there means death. Quickly the heart
Is trussed up half cut of the body and with in
finite caution an incision is made. But how to
get out the bullet? The surgeon dare not use

Is the figure OF the cross. appears on nearly
every continent of the globe and among nearly
every nation. Certain fanatics have fallen INTO
.cstases at seeing the sign Of the cross among
savage tribes which have not met Christianity.
They go too far in their symbolism. The
cross is the simplest arrangement of two straight
lines The swastika is easily made by attach

neous and not to have been gained by inter
