large. broad and depressed head, with
a mouth very large. 1t reaches a length

DESCRIBES WOUNDS
OF MODERN BULLET
ProjeCtiIe of Present Less Dan
geTOuS Than Older Ones.

New York.-Major P. c. Fauntleroy
of the United States medical army
corps writing in the Medical Record
tells of the wounds caused by modern
of war. Major Fauntleroy
says in part:
at may be said In general that the
wounds inflicted by the ~projectiles of
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
j~ectiles, 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 0.702 to 0.7o inch
in diameter. Their initial velocity was
from 600 to 700 feet per second.
1.-The destruction of the soft tissues
bv these round balls of low velocity
was in proportion to their diameter,
their mechanical effects being that the
tissues were 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 occasloned a track of de
yitalized tissue greater than its 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-
NAMED in the tissues. Although this
round ball, at its maximum velocity,
could occasion great damage. the co
Modal bullets of a later date occasioned
much more extensive injuries. EXten-
sive displacement Of the splinters OF
bone In the track vas caused by the
impact of the bullet. The shaft OF the
bone above and below the seat OF the
fracture was assured. The extensive
LIBERALIZATION Of the soft parts, togeth
er with extensive damage to the bone,
offered a field with little resistance
to infection and extensive s~uppuration.
To these pathological characteristics
must be attributed the great danger to
life occasioned by these old round bull
lets.
Having considered the wounds oc-
casioned by the old large caliber 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
~projectiles of modern weapons.
"It 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 10 to 500 YARDS we
see explosive effects.
'In the second o 800 to 1000
YARDS we see penetrating effects.
"In the third ZONE 1000 to 1000
yards we-see simply wounding effects.
"In the fourth zone 1900 TO $500
YARDS we see eontuslve wounding ef-
foofa"

New York.-Dacy Bambrick, fourteen

recently ON the morning freight from
Washington, having travelled more than
1900 miles, with stopovers at New Or
leans, Atlanta and Washington, for an
expenditure Of 80 cents. He applied to
Patrolman Spacek to help him. Now
he is remanded by Justice Hoyt to the
Children's society until his grand
parents, with whom he lived at Hous-
ton, can be communicated with.
He left Houston, he said, with Il
cents In his pockets, of which 81 cents
remain. Part of the time he rode
inside of the cars and part of the time
on brake beams. He lived on water and
bread. He has now decided that stay
ing at home is far more enjoyable than
running away.

SHIP AND CARGO
FULLY INSURED
Half of Cargo Carried
by u. S. Companies
Underwriting Stops.

The Lusitania and her cargo are fully
covered by insurance in English and
American companies. All of the in
surance on the vessel, valued at So
0OOO 900, is in English companies, who
also carry one-half of the insurance on
the cargo. valued at S735 ,469. The bal
ance Of the insurance on the cargo is
in American companies. or the S",-
0O0, 600 insurance N the Lusitania, So
500 900 is on the hull and engines and
the balance on her fittings.
The immediate effect of the sinking
of the ship was a complete tie-up OF
marine underwriting. Until the first
cablegram brought the news insurance
on British bottoms was being freely
written at from l 10 Ia per cent, the
insurance on the Lusitania and her
cargo having been effected at the lower
rate. American bottoms and their car
goes ruled lower, at from a to Y Of /
per cent
There was plenty Of business offer
ing, but the underwriters, because OF a
lack of definite information and the
fact that business had closed for the
day in London, were loath TO act.
Finally one broker offered to take bust
ness at per cent, and at that rate the
only policy of the afternoon was writ
ten.
1t is not expected that the rates
which will prevail to-day will be much,
if any, lower, Hendon Chubb, of Chubb
g. Sons, of London, and New York, the
local authority on marine insurance,
venturing the prediction that it would
be fortnight before a state Of equi-
librium was established. That, too,
was the opinion prevailing in the Offices
of Wilcox, Peck & Hughes.
The Lusitania was favored fisk
among underwriters, most of them be-
lieving that her great speed would en-
able her TO get away from any sub
marine that might show its periscope,
though there were underwriters that
held 10 the opinion that the enemy
would be more anxious to get her than
any other vessel because of the moral
effect her sinking might have.
Financially the loss Is much less
than would be the case of a ship of the
Lusitania's Importance bound this way.
There was no gold aboard and she
carried few securities, while westbound
vessels bring large amounts of Amerl-
can stocks on each trip. Some of the
ships that have arrived here since the
/ Stock Exchange reopened h9"e carried
securities valued at more than the YES
sci itself. This was particularly true
of the fast express steamers.
As explained in underwriting circles
/ most Of the English underwriting is re-
/ insured by the British government
which, of course, insures its war ma
terial. The practice in "the City" in
London has been for the underwater:
to place large risks in small groups OF
/ clubs, which in turn reinsure so per
! cent of the risk with the government.
