On public exhibition at the Army
Medical Museum are many relics of
thrilling interest. There is the
heart of a Union boy in blue which,
was penetrated and torn by a Con-
federate bullet in the wild whirl of
death which marked the terrific bat
tling about the bloody angle" at
the battle of Spotsylvania.
There is also the skull of another
soldier of the Union which was cloven
by the saber of a cavalryman in
gray at the battle of Gettysburg.
Bullets Ancient and Modern.
There are many specimens from
which can be drawn interesting
comparisons between the effects OF
the leaden mimic bullet. used by
both sides in the civil war, and the
small steel-clad bullet employed by
the Americans and Spaniards in the
war with Spain. and also in the re-
cent world war.
Bones removed from bodies, living
and dead, of the civil war. which
were hit in action. show the smash
ing and shattering effect of the larg-
er leaden missile. This is particu-
larly noticeable in the numerous
skulls that are on exhibition.
At the point where the bullets
came in contact with the skull there
are large holes caused by the imme-
diate impact. while radiating from
these central holes are numerous
fractures or cracks.
In the grim relics from the bat
tlefields of the Spanish war. the
smaller steel-coated bullets made
clear-cut holes at the points of en-
try and departure from the skull
without the radiating fractures.
The same effect is observable in
the bones of the legs and arms of
soldiers who were wounded in bat
tie and had their limbs amputated.
In cases where the bone was struck
by the leaden bullet of the civil war
they are almost invariably badly
fractured and smashed. the smaller

The abnormalities of man are de-

the cases in the museum. These
contain human giants and pigmies,
men with excessively large heads,
and others with skulls as small and
misshapen as those of the ape.
