New Bullet Extractor.

An ingenious instrument has been
invented to aid surgeons in extracting
bullets from wounds. The bullet is To-
Gated by means Of X-rays and pair OF
forceps. A very powerful pair Of for
ceps is necessary to grip and extract a
bullet, and a great deal Of damage
might be done if something that was
not seen, perhaps an artery or nerve,
was picked up along with the bullet.
Accordingly, the blades of the forceps
are attached to an electric bell which
only rings when both the blades are
touching the bullet. Therefore. if the
bell is made to ring while the blades
are being opened to grasp the bullet,
and if the bell continues to ring when
the bullet is seized, nothing else can
have been picked up beside the bullet,
and there is no danger in pulling 1t
out.
The surgeon using this instrument
can therefore not only see what he is
doing, but, by means Of the bell, he
has a very accurate sense of touch for
any piece of metal that he is watching
the points of his forceps attempting to
pick up from among the structures
deep down below the skin.

TRAVELLED BY PARCEL POST
EnoIishman Duly Forwarded to His
Destination on the Payment OF a
Small Sum.

The parcel post has made its Useful-
ness felt in many ways, unexpected as
we'll as foreseen. But the English par
eel pest does one surprising thing that
has not yet been introduced into our
own system.
An Englishman wished to reach
customer living in q remote part OF
BALKAN, one Of the suburbs Of London,
and it was very necessary that he tlnd
him quickly. Knowing nothing of the
district, he called at the general post
Office at st. Martins-le-G Grand to con-
suit directory. On explaining his
case to a clerk he was amazed to
lsarn that he could be sent to the ad-
dress by parcel post by paying fee
of six cents mile.
The gentleman had never heard OF
such thing, and it is said that very
few persons in England know that it
can be done. He was placed in charge
of a messenger who was familiar with
all parts Of the city, and was soon on
his way. The boy carried a printed
slip on which was written a descrip-
ton of the parcel" in charge, under
the heading, Article required to be
delivered" and before leaving the GUS
toners house both the customer and
the gentleman had to put their sigma
lures on the paper. The limit in
weight for anything delivered by par
eel post in England is generally under
stood to be eleven pounds, but there
is one clause that reads: "a person
may be conducted by express messen'
ger to any address on payment Of the
mileage fee."-Youth's Companion.
