BADLY AFFECTED BY WIND
Prodlgious Speed Of Projectiles In
Warfare Has Been Known to
Overcome Soldiers.

That the wind of projectiles causes
the death of soldiers is theory ad-
vanced by. Professor Laurent of Brus-
sells, who read a paper on this subject
before the French Acadamy Of Science.
During the Balkan war, Professor Lau-
rent said he had noticed soldiers who,
seemingly, were troubled from cerebro-
spinal disturbances, although having
escaped a bullet. Sometimes the vic
tins became cataleptic and in less
serious cases there were symptoms Of
fainting, tingling sensations and par
tial paralysis.
In instances where this mysterious
infiction caused death, autopsies were
held and these invariably revealed no
nervous LESSONS. Then it occurred to
Professor Laurent that the variations
of atmospheric pressure caused by the
passing of the projectile had an effect
upon the nerve cells, causing inhibi-
ton.
DR.. Matlgon, during the Russia-Japan
war, reported similar cases, particu-
larly after a severe bombardment. AS
projectiles gain not only in size but in
speed, as the years go on, just what
the toll from wind will be in the next
great conflict is hard to forecast.

Air Pressure in Musical Instruments.
In an interesting article in the
Philosophical Magazine" Mr.. Foord
refers to DIR. Stones table of wind
pressure required to play various
notes of the scale on various wind
instruments. The table indicates that
as the notes rise higher in the scale
the air pressure necessary to produce
them increases with most wind instru-
ments, although not with all. In the
clarinet, for example, the pressure de-
creases from the low. notes to the
high ones, varying from Is inches of
water to inches. Mr.. Foord re-
peated these experiments on the clar-
met and saxophone, playing the whole
range of notes first loudly and then
softly. For the clarinet it is found
that the pressures fall as the notes
rise, agreeing with Doctor Stones la
BILE, although the inverse law holds
good for the oboe, bassoon. horn. cor
net, trumpet. euphonium and combar-
don. With the saxophone it is found
that the pressure corresponding to
notes at the beginning and end of the
register are equal, the pressure rising
to a maximum at the note d about
halfway through the scale.

Diamond Operations.

Machinery and barbed wire have
supplanted the crude methods Of
breaking up diamond bearing blue
earth and protecting the valuable finds
employed 20 years ago in the South
African diamond mines. The depths
of the strange crater shaped holes in
which the peculiar diamond-bearing
earth is confined are now penetrated
by shafts, reaching hundreds of feet
down into the earth with 40-foot lev
els. The broken earth Is removed in
closed trucks TO the surface, where,
after a season of exposure to sun
and atmosphere, strewn on the
ground, it is hauled to the mills. Here
pulsators finally locate the diamonds
on grease-covered inclined tables, to
which the diamonds adhere, while
loose sand. earth and gravel are
washed away by water. Acres of
ground, covered by broken earth
brought up from the mines, contain
possibly millions of dollars worth Of
gems, and these treasure-troves are
protected by high fences of barbed
wire, with intricate arrangements at
the corners and at the gates. About
four thousand miles OF wire are used
In the defenses about the Kimberley
mines.

YEARS SUPPLY OF BABIES
Facts Compiled by ststIstIcian VIII
Come TO Many az Something Of
q Surprise.

IL has been computed that about 49,
100000 babies are born into the world
each year. The rate of production
is therefore about 20 per minute. or
more than one for every beat OF the
clock.
With the one-a-second calculation
every reader Is familiar, but It is not
every one who stops to calculate what
this means when it comes to a years
supply. It will, therefore. probably
startle a good many persons to find.
on the authority of a well-known sta
tisticician, that, could the infants of
a year be ranged In line in cradles.
the cradles would extend around the
globe.
The same writer looks at the matter
in a more picturesque light. He mag
in0s the babies being carried past a
given point In their mothers arms,
one by one, and the procession being
kept up night and day until the last
hour In the twelfth month had passed
by. A sufficiently liberal rate is al
lowed, but even in going past at the
rate OF 20 a minute. 1900 an hour.
during the entire year. the reviewer
at his post would have seen only the
sixth part of the infantile host.
In other words, the babe that had
to be carried when the tramp began
would be able to walk when but a
mere fraction of its comrades had
reached the reviewers post, and when
the years supply of babies was draw
ing to a cclose there would be
rear guard, not of infants, but of
romping six-year-old boys and girls.
