Professor Chiene's Experience At The War

The winter session of the University of Edinburgh Professor Ohiene described hit experiences as a consulting surgeon iv the Sonth African war, BULT.ET AND SHELL WO'ONDS Referring to the cter-s under hia care, he Bald nn« ease made an impression on h'm. A soldier lying on his face was struck ! with a Mauser bullet The bullet enter ed above the left; clavicle, and p^s^ed through the thorax and abdoman, and wos removed from Scarpa's tii«n»lo -n the right aide. No had repults followed —truly an anatomical problem, worthy of Sir William Turner'sl attention. (Laughter and applause). The bullet wounds at close range wer^ more severe than those at a distance P > B'Wy, the bullet might oscillate for 4Uo y*rd* »n<* then steady down to pass right through " the tissues, safb and bony, making p. wound m the skin like a leech bite, and with little distinction between the aper tnrea of entrance and exilb. Shrapnel cases were the worst. Shiapnel and lyddite, as the BoeW told him, were their two fears. They had no fear of the bul lets. In fche wards no one w*ts indifferent m regarded his future. Patients w^ra divided int.© two classes—tho^e who wished to i»efc back and fight,and those who begged to be sent home. The first olass were aseptic surgical ease;', the second olass those who suffered from su gical sepsis and medical oases.

THE ALLEGRD HOSPITAL SCANDALS. Describing B'oerafuptein when he saw ifc m July, everything, he said was very different from the time when enteric was rife and the difficulties of transport were so great. The same difficoitus might have occnrred m any large tuwn m thia country—say, m Edinburgh- had such a „—iaroe r.umber of pa'irn s been suddenly [^forced upon them. Putflna' aside foreign ambulances, more than 50 per cent of tho*e who served as medical men on the B<K>r side ware taught m the Edinburgh Fchool, and on that fact they might rest With confidence, and assert that the J< ssons taught them m the Edinburgh Ii tyai Infirmary benefited directly many of orar soldiers, wh©, while they were unfortunate to be sick or wounded, and! fall into the hands of the Boers, were fortunate In being treated m the main by men whs had received their medical fiducitlon m the metropolis of the north. (Applause) The whole question of hob* pital administration m the war was still sab jadlce. Let them take as their motto Audi vide, tace. Every one who had the medical instinct—sympathy for the suf ferlng— would be willing confidently to waive the verdict. Let them be thankful that the individual members of tha profession had done their duty, and let them wait with equanimity, knowing tha 1 only good could come from a thorough it;Vestigatlon into those charges which hadetlried the sympathy of the nation. (Applause) Three things had made a impression on bini—First, the HlH^ltude, bravery, and patience of them in hospital—(applause)—second. had never been privileged m the of six months to give so much HBneBB to his fellow men—(applause) B^^^K third, that) at the beat war mush be B^^HDrable business. (Applause) Con* j^^^Hr, he said, we had all loab friends : all suffered. By our suffering the had been welded together find j^Mpßgthened. Left us endeavour faith- E^H^F) trusting not m our own strength, j^^f face manfully the grave responsibilities Hpt our position. Let our aim be to do | to all men, and let us ever ramem" ! m ber that the brotherhood of humanity r In«'aded 011 nations and all people, and that anr great Empire was but an atom In the GTjiverse, m which wo all were made for another* m which "whatsoever is bnt th© seed of that which shall be " (Load applause:)

A PRO BOER ORATOR SILENCED

One of the Kew Zealand troopers now m Sydney rather effectively silenced a pio Beer oiwiloi' m the Domain on a recent Snndiy. A Socialist demagogue, daring his address, made repeating Inciting reference to the Quoeu and Royal family, till the trooper, who happened to be m the crowd, pulled him op. Stepping np to the speaker, he said, "Look here, you pro Boer, if you say another word about her Majes'y I'll knock yu fff the box. I've ehot better men than you m South Africa." The trooper was cheered by the crowd, and locked so like business that ihe Socialist turned it off wiih the remark "However, that In nob ray subject,' and did not venture any farther disrespectful remarks.

Railroad Speeds.

—-—« The high grade rates of the big rail ways m Great Brirain are shown m a table prepared by the Westminster Gazette. There ia not a sixty miles an hotn 4 run m the lot, but the Caledonian beads tbe table with a 59 miles per boor ran from Forfar to Perth, dis tance 82J miles. The great Northern comes next as a north going tine with £15.3 from Peterborough to Finsbury Park. The biggest thing the South Western do is 54 3 miles from Gkehanapton to Yeoford Junction —14J miles' run iv 16 minutes. The big efforts of the Great Western are made from Paddington to Bath at 54 2 and to Leamington at the rate of 54 3. The Midland has a spurt from Kettering to Nottingham at 53.5, while the premier line, thf» London and North-Western, onjoyo an historic run from Penrith to Orewe, 123| miles, at the rato of 53 9, or a journey run of 2hrs 17min,

A Queer Tip.

The new Governor-General of Aus- j tralia -is to be landei at the famous • Mrs Macquarie's chair/ the eastern point of Farm Cove, m Sydney Har bour, opposite Government House. There it was, observes the Liverpool Post, that the poor immigrant, before the cable was laid, caught a shark with a London newspapei inside him giving news ahead of the mail steamer of the outbreak of the Franco German war. Ho ga^e tho 'tip' to a wool broker, who bought up all the sea son's clip at 9i a Ib, and sold at 3a after the war newn arrived m tha ordinary ! The broker, who made four millions by the dccl, gave tho immigrant a cast-off silk hat and five shillings, so "that be could bless the night that he went fishing from "Mrs Macquarie's chair." But he didn't!
