DESCRIBES WOUNDS
OF MODERN BULLET
Projectie Of Present Less Dan
gerouS Than Older Ones.

New York.-Major =. C. Fauntleroy
of the United States medical army
corps writing in the Medical Record
tells of the wounds caused by modern
weapons of war. Major Fauntleroy
says in part:
ut may be said in general that the
wounds inflicted by the projectiles Of
the modern firearms are not SO ex
tensive as they were from the older
weapons, and also that their treatment
Is correspondingly less difficult.
LET us consider the effects of the
old time larger and lower velocity pro-
jectiles, for by comparison with those
Of the modern small, steel jacketed,
high velocity bullet we can then better
understand the characteristic appear
ance Of bullet wounds in general.
1.-THE old round musket balls were of
soft lead and from O7O2 to O.75 inch
in diameter. Their initial velocity was
from GOO to 700 feet per second.
"The destruction Of the soft tissues
by these round balls Of low velocity
was in proportion to their diameter,
their mechanical effects being that the
tissues We're stretched, as it were, to
permit their passage.
The wound of entrance was about
the size of the ball, the wound giving
the impression Of having been punched
out This ball occasioned track of de
vitalized tissue greater than it's diam
eter. The wound of exit was irregular
in shape, with everted edges and al
ways larger in the skin than that of
the entrance.
ION striking bone this ball usually
fattened itself and nearly always re-
manned in the tissues. Although this
round ball, at it's maximum velocity,
could occasion great damage, the CO.
Modal bullets of later date occasioned
much more extensive injuries. Extern
sive displacement Of the splinters Of
bone in the track was caused by the
impact Of the bullet. The shaft of the
bone above and below the seat Of the
fracture was tissured. The extensive
LIBERALIZATION of the soft parts, togeth-
err with extensive damage to the bone,
offered field with little resistance
to infection and extensive suppuration.
To these pathological characteristics
must be attributed the great danger to
life occasioned by these old round bull
let's.
Having considered the wounds oc-
casioned by the old large calber round
and elongated lead bullets Of low veloc-
ity, we are better prepared to under
stand the effects of the modern small
caliber steel jacketed. high velocity
proiectiles of modern weapons.
ut may be said in a general way that |
the effects of these bullets differ as
they occur in one Of four zones:
''In the first zone 70 to 500 YARDS we
see explosive effects.
"In the second zone 600 to 1000 |
YARDS we see penetrating effects.
''In the third zone 1000 to 1000 |
YARDS we see simply wounding effects.
I'm the fourth zone $4,000 to $500 |
YARDS we see contusive wounding eff
fectS."

OLD CHURCH BELL MELTED.
First Gong In Kansas Was Made of

First Gong In Kansas Was Made OF
Pure Copper and Shipped In 1855.
Leavenworth. Kan.-With the burn
ing of the schoolhouse at Kickapoo,
what is claimed to have been the first
church bell ever to summon congre-
cation to worship in Kansas was de-
stroyed. The bell was shipped by boat
from st. Louis to Kickapoo in 1865
and was the gift of DR.. Rufus. 1t was
hung in the belfry of the Methodist
church, claimed to be the first house
Of worship of that denomination erect
ed in Kansas. In 1865 the bell was
sold to the Kickapoo school board.
The bell was almost of pure copper
Long before the belfry on the school
house was completely consumed
watchers saw the old bell melt and
drop away, leaving the cast iron clap
per hanging to the frame in which the
bell was supported.

FINDS INDIAN NO M0NGOL.
Scientist Says He Belongs to Distinct
American Race.

American Race.
Washington.-The Indian bureau gave
out an article by Arthur c.. Parker,
archaeologist and ethnologist of the
University of the State Of New York.
in which the recent assertion of Cato
Sells, United States commissioner of
Indian affairs, that the North Amer-
san Indian was not a Monaghan was
sustained. Mr.. Parker in his article
says:
"There We're native Indians. Ameri-
can Indians, in America thousands of
years before there were such races as
the Chinese or Tartars. Manchus or
Turanians.''
Continuing. he says:
"There have been theories that the
Indians We're the lost Welsh colonists.
that they were shipwrecked Japanese
and even the ten lost tribes. Science
has proved beyond question the fool
ishness of these theories. and any text
book used in school or college that re.
peats these errors is now relegated to
the heap of out Of date books.
mo ethnolOglSt known to the writer
believes that the Indian is sort of
acclimated Chinaman or a descendant
Of the Mongols of Asia. but he may
believe, and likely does. that the Indi
an descended from some parent stock
that produced the Mongol and. for that
matter. the Caucasian and negro.
"The American Indian is the abo-
riginal American. and in his various
divisions constitutes what is known to
scientists as the American race. the
most widely distributed race in the
world AS such it inhabited two con.
tinents which is to say the entire new
world of the western hemisphere"
