FRENCH SOLDIER
IN IN UNUSUAL FEAT
Captures Several Trenches From
Germans While singlehanded;
Legion of Honor.

= Paris, Feb. y.-Private Thorel on
whose breast General Joffre, in per.
son, recently pinned the coveted mil.
itary medal, tells the story OF his in.
voluntary capture. OF a line Of German
trenches as follows: &
# Advances Alone. "
1T was about five miles from Ypres
where the 153rd regiment infantry
was ordered to recapture some lost
ground. The first attack succeeded
partially but the second was inter.
rlpted because the colonel found that
it could be better executed at night.
Thorel, In the4ffrst rank, did not hear
the order to retire; he went on at
double quick. thinking his comrades
were coming after. He arrived at
the. crest Of an abandoned trench be.
fore he found he was alone. Further
on he spied sas detachment OF the en-

his 200 cartridges when he was sur.

from Thore1s rapid fire, that they had
to do with q strong force. Thorel
then found his way back to the

fine HOSPITAL
FOR :bELGLANS
Institution at Calais Has One Of
Finest X-Ray Equipped Rooms
In the World. ~,

London, Feb. 8.-A medical expert
who has been inspecting the various
field hospitals OF the Allies in the
western theater of war, describes the
Queen Elizabeth Hospital at Calais as
the best of them all. The, hospital is
under Belgian cd4trol, and the pa.
tents are all Belgian soldiers.
& x Fine x-RSXc Apparatus.
1.-The X-ray room is one of the most
completely equipped Of its kind in
France" said the expert. "The ,ap.
paratus was the gift of the Due de
Vendome, brother.in.law Of King Al
bert, who is himself a well.known SCI
enlist and bacteriologist, and who is
personally attached to the institution.
1.-The apparatus consists of an cleo
trio installment Of enormous power,
80 planned as to permit the taking OF
instantaneous X.ray Photographs by
the mere manipulation of a lever and
in the space OF a fraction of a second.
This is especially Useful in the cas-
Of a patient who is in great pain, or
is unable to remain quiet in one posi-.
ton. He is detained in the X.ray
room only a second or two, but a
beautifully clear print is secured.
Moreover the danger of burns to the
operator is minimized, because there
is no prolonged exposure. So instan-
taneous is the operation that it is i'm
possible to detect any lighting; up Of
the X-ray tube. ~
Take Pictures simultaneously.
"A s]tereoscope is fitted in the room
and affords q most interesting demon
stration Of the application of scienti-
fic principles 20 modern science. BY
the use of this, two Kay photographs
are taken SIM ltaneously, and on look
ing at them through a specially ar.
ranged ~stereoscope apparatus, a very
perfect s%tereCscope picture is seen
In this, bones and foreign bodies, such
as bullets aud pieces of shell, stand
out in perspective, making it possible
to determine their relation to one an.
other in a manner which is very in.
structive from the point of view of the
operating room. The surgeon is able
to gauge te depth of a bullet as we'll
as its position. - .ar.
Water Kept Pure.
"A second in resting department
at the Queen Elizabeth hospital is
the ultra.violet-rays water sterilizer.
This purifies water through the use
of the ultra.violet.rays of the srect-
rum, which possess a burning power
that rapidly destroys living organ
isms. This sterilizer has the advan.
tage that it requires no attention,
noes not boil the water. and does not
alter its taste. Moreover, by a clever
device, the water is cut off at once
should the electric current which ger.
crates the rays fail"

1853 LOST IN BRITISH WRECK
All But Six of Those Killed We're
Soldiers


London, May 24-An official an
nounccment was made last night that
1853 persons were killed or are mis-
sing as result of the triple collision
which occurred Saturday morning
on the CALIFORNIAN railway, north oil
Carlisle. All except six of the killed
were soldiers belonging to tho Roya!
Scots regiment, 500 Of whom were
travelling in troop train. At least
200 persons, mostly soldiers. were in
jured.
These figures established a new
record for railway accidents i'll the
British Isles, the number Of dead and
injured being greater than IN any
previous disaster Of the kind. The
death roll probably will be added to,
as many Of the injured are not eX-
pectcd to recover.
Added to the horror of the three
trains coming into collision was a
fire which broke out and which rem
dercd the rescue of those held in the
tangled mass impossible. Tons OF
water were poured OH the wreck, but
before the fire was subducd many OF
the injured were burned to DEATH

SPEED OF BULLETS.
ingenious Method For Measuring Il
Used by the Experts.

Used by the Experts.
The methud used 10y experts to as
certain the velocity Of a projectile OF
bullet at the moment it leaves the muz-
zle of the weapon is as follows:
There is a drumlike cylinder of fixed
diameter aud of sufficiently stif pa
per to stand being rapidly revolved on
a spindle. Is the cylinder is Of small
circumference it is necessary that the
speed approach 1000 revolutions a
| minute. These revolutions are pro
duced by electric power. and the count
is made 10y an exact mechanical regis
ter.
The gun is placed securely at the re-
quired distance from the drum and is
sighted directly at the center Of the cyl
inder. which is spinning at so many
rods-even miles-a minute, as its cir
cumference determines. With the
drums speed adjusted, an electric cur
rent discharges the weapon, the bullet
striking the center of the drum as
measured from top to bottom.
1t must be borne in mind that with
;he drum stationary the bullet would
pass directly through it on a line of its
1iameter, coming out on the other side,
with scarcely q shade Of impediment. 8"
With the drums periphery whirling at
the rate of 1000 revolutions a minute
and its diameter only a fraction more
than foot. this would mean rate of
1000 yards in sixty seconds. Thus in
the fraction of a second necessary for
the bullet TO enter one side of the paper
drum, cross it and pass out at the other
side the opposite side of the drum
would show a considerable deviation
from an exact diameter of line Of pas
sage.
1t is this space of detection, shown
inside the further rim of the drum, that
is used for computing the velocity Of
the missile. The speed Of the cylinder
may be computed to the ten-thousandth
part Of Il second if necessary, and the
lineal distance run in that time may be
charted in perpendicular lines on the
inner side of the paper. At whatever
line the bullet penetrates outward it
registers its time in crossing the diam
eter of the cylinder. If it has required
the ten-thOusandth part Of a second for
the bullet to proceed one foot from its
muzzle, velocity in yards or miles may
be computed by nybody.-Pearson's
Weekly.
