WOUNDED HEARTS sEWEp UP.

The patients were all put under
the influence of ether very soon after
the injury, part of the chest wall
was removed, the heart lifted from
its bed and the stitches quickly intro
duced between pulsations. The bony
chest wall over the heart was not put
back in place, that organ being left
covered only by skin and muscle,
This was done to give the heart
room to expand and to prevent ad-
hesions from embarrassing the
hearts action. Several of the pa
tients are at their daily work after
seven years since the operation.

LADY CHURCH BELL RINGERS.

At the parish church of Apple
dore, Devon, England, worshipers
are called to the services by lady bell
ringers.
A wealthy resident recently pre-
sented the church a peal of eight
bells. Several lady church workers
at once placed their services at the
disposal of the vicar, with the result
that an expert ringer gave the ladies
lessons in ringing. At Easter this
year the ladies gave their first public
performance by ringing a peal at
wedding. The ladies now ring regu-
larly every week. Some idea of the
work may be gathered from the fact
that the tenor bell weighs II cwt.,
and yet through all the training not
even a stay has been broken. This
is another branch of work which
women are taking up on behalf OF
the church.

Many Soldiers Killed In Battle With
out Being Actually Touched
by the Bullet.

That soldiers sometimes are killed
in battle by shots that have not hit
them is now definitely proved, says
a report to the Paris Academy of
Sciences by Professor Laurent of
Brussels, who went through the Bal
kan war with the Greek army.
He cites many cases of men being
struck down with concussion Of the
brain or of the spinal marrow, re-
sulting in convulsions or partial par
alysis, without otherwise receiving
so much as a scratch. In many in
stances where death supervened Pro-
fessor Laurent performed post-mor-
tenn examinations on the bodies, but
never, he says, found any actual
nerve LESSONS.
He explains death in these cases
as being caused by the fatal effect,
through the middle ear, of air waves
of tremendous rapidity, which are
generated by projectiles whizzing by.
These sudden and violent changes in
the air pressure, he says, upset the
physical equilibrium in such a way
that the subject frequently drops
dead.
A French observer, Doctor Ma
tignon, who followed the Russians in
the Russo-Japanese war, published
a report in which he came to similar
conclusions, which met with some
incredulity at the time.
