 "I wa ehAt iR Cuba in 'aa" says we'll kaewn army, officer, Hand I lid notsknow it for awhile. It was aot, of course, a pleasant sensation. It was just like the sting of a pin or 8 knife when the skin is broken. l It was nothing to knock a man flown. knew of many cases dur | ing the war with Spain where man did not know he was shot until somebody showed him the blood running down his shirt or trousers.
 Similar testimony is afforded by an army surgeon who has served for many years. He treated many gunshot wounds during his time and was himself shot, a circum- stance that qualities him to give g ioubly expert opinion.
 "A mimic bali passed through my left leg at Shiloh," says this sur geon, "and l did not experience any particular sensation except, perhaps, one similar to being jab- bed with sharply pointed knife: l felt the ball go through the skin, but it gave no sensation in passing through the muscles. That, of course, is on account of the greater number of nerves in the skin as compared with the muscles. The ball passed alm'lt entirely through my leg and was removed consider able time later, but I suffered al- most no inconvenience.
 "The wound, of course, swelled, as any wound of the kind will, but l should imagine that the bullet now in use would cause much less trou- ble and pain than the old round bullet, as the sharp point of the conical ballet enters the flesh very readily"
 There is a great deal of misap- prehension as to the intensity of the pain caused by the entrance into the human body of various ob- jects. Many persons fancy that if a man is shot at all he must there- fore suffer intensely. The reverse is true. A slight wound, a mere abrasion of the skin, is sometimes far more painful than a wound caused by the entrance of bullet directly into the muscles or even into bone. The skin is filled with nerves, and when any of them are torn by the ball the pain is extreme. If the bullet plunges directly through the skin into the body the only nerves disturbed are those in the comparatively small space the bullet strikes. Since there are few nerves in the muscles, the nerves of the skin convey the sensation of pain to the brain.
 In the same way the greater DOT tion of the pain experienced in the amputation of an arm or a leg IS occasioned when the skin is cut, and the subsequent cutting of the mus cles and the saving of the bone, in which all the pain is popularly sup posed to be centered, amount to little in comparison. - Harper's Weekly.
