New Bullet Extractor.

An ingenious instrument has been
invented to aid surgeons in extracting
bullets from wounds. The bullet is 10.
Gated by means of X-rays and pair Of
forceps. A very powerful pair of for.
ceps is necessary to grip and extract .
bullet, and great deal of damage
might be done II something that was
not seen. perhaps an artery or a 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, II tho
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 It
out.
The surgeon using this instrument
can therefore not only see what he is
doing, but, by means Of the bell, he
has 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.

Egg Not Good "Puddlno."

One egg misplaced caused more than
the average amount of trouble for q
young schoolboy who happened to find
it while the teacher had the pupils out
for walk in tine woods. The boy found
the egg, was proud of having found It.
and put it in his hip pocket.
In the course of the afternoon, how.
ever. he strolled too far from the other
children. and the teacher spent long
time bunting him. When she found
him the punishment was to paddle
him.
But how was the teacher to know
about the egg? She did not. The egg
broke, the boy cried and the teacher
laughed.
A second cry followed the boys first
one, though, for his mother inflicted
more severe punishment than the
teacher attempted, because his clothes
were soiled.-Indianapolis News.
