A mick" in an artery is sometimes
more dangerous than its complete sew
enng, for the coats Of arteries are
formed of muscular tissue, which con-
tncts, and a slight cut at once ex-
pands into a round or oval hole,
through which the hemorrhage con-
tnues unless the artery be tied. When
an artery is completely severed the cut
ends tend to turn in and close the
tube. In the case Of q small artery
this closing sometimes needs no assist
nce In the case Of larger artery
the surgeon ties IT at once and thus
closes it for good The New York
Medical Journal reports two cases at
Lincoln hospital in which hemonhages
broke out over and over again for sew
gr1l weeks in arteries that had only
Just been nicked and that were finally
healed by being tied Just as II they
had been severed.

defense Of a country on its seaboard
or to the offense Of a nation against
an enemy's navy.
Mines. as they are placed In the sea
and as they have been placed In great
numbers in the North sea, are Of three
kinds-harbor defense mines, deep sea
floating mines and mOored contact
mines.
Harbor defense mines are part OF
the armament Of a country to keep the
vessels Of hostile nation from enter
ing a harbOr to occupy a city. They
are used to the best eject where the
channel to a harbor Is somewhat mar
row. These mines consist Of heavy
charges OF a high explosive placed In
the channel. They are exploded by
an electric current sent through a wire
connecting them with the shore. The
eontact that detonates the mine is
made from a fort on shore or other
point Of observation, and the explosive
Is discharged when the ship Of an enc
my Is close to the hidden mine.
These mines are under the control
Of man. and unless through an acct
dent or by mistake they could not In

friend and foe. II the ship OF friend

same as though the ship Of a foeman

The deep sea floating mines are the
easiest to place In position, and they
are the most easily detected Of any Of
the different classes OF mines. Az

the vigilant lookout OF a vessel In

SUBMARINE SHIPS
and SEA MINES
Both Play an Important Part
IN European War.

TT Is rather interesting In these
days Of frequent submarine raids
to reflect that when Fulton, the
American inventor, first pro-
pounded his idea for an under water
boat and experimental under the aus
plces OF the British and French gov
ernments his plans were denounced a.
revolving to every noble principle"
both French and British admirals de-
claring that they wished to fight like
gentlemen and not to be drowned like
rats"
The method OF attack Of a submarine
Is very simple. Seeing an enemy, she
blows out the required number Of air
tanks and by means of her planes de
sends until the coming tower Is just
above water, from which the move
ments Of the distant enemy are observ-
ed Having approached within a dis
lance judged to be safe from discovery,
the submarine is submerged complete
ly, her course being codned solely by
means OF the periscope. and at the
chosen moment discharges her torpedo.
At night the submarine Is blind, and
in bad light or rough sea she works
with difficulty owing to the obscurity
OF her vision.
The submarine Is still In a way an
unknown quantity In international law.
While the existing rules OF information
al law provide that all passengers and
crew on unarmed belligerent merchant
vessels must be taken on before the
ship can be sunk, this has been held
to apply to war vessels which are able
to care for passengers. The fact that
q submarine may endanger itself by
approaching a belligerent merchant
man is a consideration which may ne
cessitate new rules when the subject
is taken up by future conferences.
In addition to the submarine ship,
the submarine mine Is playing an i'm
portant part In the present European
war and In the strategy OF the fighting
