FOREIGN NEWS

Paris, May 23-Curious confirma
ton of the belief that men can be kill
ed and wounded by the wind of pass
| ing projectiles was given in a paper
| by Professor Laurent, of Brussels, read
recently before the French academy
of science.
NJ. Laurent declared that several
cases had come under his notice dur
ing the Balkan wars of soldiers who
showed symptoms of cerebro-spinal
disturbance, though they had no wound
of any kind. The symptoms were
fainting, a tingling sensation and even
partial paralysis. In the more serious
cases the victims became cataleptic.
Sometimes death resulted. In the lat
ter cases autopsies were performed
which failed to show any nervous
LESSONS. 1t then appeared to Profess
sor Laurent that the vibrations of air
produced by the passage of a ball and
the sudden variations of atmospheric
pressure affected the nerve cells and
caused the phenomena of inhibition.
Professor Laurent recalled that during
the war in Manchuria DIR. Matignon
had also observed nervous inhibition
produced by cannon balls. Since the
speed of modern projectiles has been
increased and they have become more
important to warfare, Professor Laur-
ent looks for larger number of cases
of the kind indicated during conflict.
The most important fact brought out
