They found that all internal traie of the

the new weapons in disabling a much
larger number of men in a given time than
was before possible, t he severity of indi
vidual wounds will he much less. In place
of large apertures and tracks, where there
always was considerable destruction of
tissue, much smaller wounds may be ex
pected, with such t rilling damage to the
soft tissues through which the hall passes
that the destruction of substance resulting
is almost inappreciable. The size and se
verity of the wound will he further de

How to See tho ISlood VesMelt* of iho Eye.
Pmkinjc discovered a very sis. pie and
highly ciiteriaining experiment by means
of which the ret ina, with ail its veins and
blood vessels st anding out iu relief against
it, caw he thrown into tiie air before one’s
eyes. It, is called the arborescent figure,
from its likeness to a many branched treo,
and is produced in the following manner:
In a dark room at night move a candle
backward and forward before the eyes,
these being firmly fix'd on the wall be
yond. After a few seconds the air will as
sume a reddish appearance, and running
over it iu all directions may be seen the
veins and blood vessels in bold relief, while
toward the center of the figure there rises
up a dark trunk, from which the veins
branch out on all sides.
The trunk is visible where the optic
nerve enters the eye, and tills experiment
is chiefly interesting to the student as
proving that4 he parts of t iie reliu i which
actually receive and pro'luce the s. nsaiion
of light must lie behind the blood vessois,
since these cast their shadow onto it, and
we are enabled to see them, as we see any
other object, externally.—Chambers’ Jour
