LOCATE BULLET BY PHONE
London Surgeons Have New metnoo
of Discovering Presence OF
Foreign Body.

London. - One of the romantic
touches in modern surgery which the
exigencies of the present war have
introduced is a method of detecting
bullets and fragments of shell in the
human body by means Of telephone.
This method is employed in special
cases in one of the large London hos
pitfalls.
To a telephone receiver two short
lengths of wire are attached. One OF
these ends in a small piece of platl-
mum; this is placed upon any part OF
the patients skin which has been
moistened with salt water. The other
end of the wire terminates in a thread
of antiseptic silver, and this is bound
around the surgeons probe or lancet
or other instrument. The surgeon then
places the receiver to his ear and
makes the incision.
The instant the instrument touches
the bullet a very distinct rattle Is
heard, quite different from the faint
murmur audible as the instrument
merely cuts through the flesh, and In
this way when X-rays fall, as they
sometimes do, the foreign substance
| is located.

mony and welcomed me as II he hah
been in the library of his house IN
Brussels. 81 am sorry" he said IN eX-
cellent English, ito have to receive
you in this improvised fiat, but 'c'est
la guerre.
And the cellar offered certainly
curious picture. Fourteen soldiers sat
around a makeshift table, at the head
of which-on a barbour officer had
presided. We had evidently inter
rupted a meal. An iron bedstead,
with planks and few punches Oh
straw, took up one corner; a tier OF
knapsacks and some more straw, lned
the apostle wall. An old-fashloneu
gramophone rescued from the ruins,
formed a conspicuous piece of furni-
ture, but the records had been
smashed. Still, one gets inventive
when time is long and tedious-and II
has been very slow around here these
| last days-so some of the records were
pasted together on a piece OF caro-
board, and with the assistance OF
helping finger, bridging over the gaps
and rents, the old machine managed
to give Carmen" La Boheme." and
some popular French airs.
The first opportunity have / shall
send them much-needed records and
needles, so that in future the inhab'
itants may have some decent music
with their meals. The food consisted
of cold beef, brown bread and water
the color of which did not look ap
petizing at all One Of the soldiers
noticed me glancing "a the water bot

the benefit of the younger men, oh
it's all right, this Eau de User there
may be a dead German or two In II
but that adds a sting to 1t, as the'
say in the States"
The cellar was lit by an improvise'
} little torch in a bottle, and the mel
around the table with their two weeks
growth of Neard looked like pirates.

new IDEA OF ECONOMY
RAILROADS AIM TO MAKE EN-
PLoYEEs MORE CAREFUL.
Move Has Resulted in Cutting Down
the Heavy acquisitions for Small
Supplies-setter Than Old
System Employed.

The railroads, the greatest spenders
of the age, have recently been pro-
pounding to their employees the CO
nundrum: How long will a broom
last?" writes George Ethelbert Walsh.
in the Sunday Magazine of the Chi
cago Herald.
If the once-a-month broom can be
converted into the two months broom,
the economical station agent saves
for his railroad the cost OF hauling
one ton of freight 80 miles every two
months; which, six times a year.
means the cost of hauling a ton OF
freight 210 miles.
But the broom is merely taken as a
symbol in the new railroad economy.
Take lamp chimneys, several OF which
have to be used in each station. Every
time one breaks a charge must be
made against the railroad equal to the
cost of hauling ton of freight 1O1a
miles. Twenty lamp chimneys broken
a year in a single station means that
some poor locomotive must stagger
under an extra ton of freight over 2lO
miles just to pay for them.
Even the lead pencil must not be
despised. A requisition for a new LOT
of pencils can be made out in a few
minutes; but a ton of freight must be
hauled two miles to pay for each new
one. The same is true of each track
spike that works loose and is thrown
! aside. A track bolt is similarly treat
| ed as waste; but it Is worth three anc
half miles of haulage of a ton o.
freight.
The man who was responsible fol
working out these details of cost of or
binary trifies in railroad language wal
something of an economist. He hat
the idea that waste in trifles had some
thing to do with the high cost of rail
road operation. The monthly requi
sition for supplies of trifling natur
reached the huge sum of $4,000, o
100000 a year, and he forthwith de
cided to cut down the cost.
After figuring out the freight hau
age of the different items. he offere
rewards ranging from $lUO 10 SlO Z
every station agent who showed tn
greatest annual saving of general sta
ton supplies. He paid out $500 i
prizes, and cut the acquisitions dow
$4,000 the first year. The second yea
the acquisitions for lead pencils
brooms, lamp chimneys, lanterns. coz
shovels, waste and pals decreased S
generally that the suspicion wa
aroused that many of the agents wei
buying their own supplies in order
! get in on some Of the prize awards.
At one time railroad economy gel
orally meant laying of few men, GU
ting wages of others, and postponin
the purchase of much needed ne
equipment and rolling stock. In tn
end this sort Of economy resulted
more inefficient service. grumbling an
strikes, and deterioration of track
roadbed and general equipment. 500
er or later the railroad had to pay II
a policy that was about as economic
as killing the old goose that laid Il
golden eggs.

KAISER TO EAT WAR BREAD
Orders Food Made Partly OF Potato
Flour Served to Himself
and Staff.

Berlin.-Emperor William has
given orders that the so-called war
bread be served to himself and the
members of his encourage.
This bread, styled also *" bread,
consists of IS per cent rye -four and
Is per cent potato flakes. 1t is being
consumed in accordance with a war
time proclamation with the idea of
making the supply of foodstuff in the
empire last longer.
Up to the present time it has not
been bought readily by the general
public. 1t is hoped, however, that
the decision of the emperor to eat this
bread himself will influence the peo
pie to follow his example. The news
papers are giving much attention tc
the course of the emperor in this con
nection.
