REMOVING A BULLET
FROM THE HEART
»«■•■■■ i v r i in *
The removal of a bullet from
one of the chambers of the heart,
under the influence of only a local
antesthetic and with the patient
watching the operation, is de
scribed by an army surgeon in the
British Medical Journal. The
point of chief interest elecited by
the surgeon was the insensitive
ness of the heart to direct stim
ulation. The organ was handled
freely, opened with a knife, prob
ed with heavy forceps and closed
with a row of stitches, without
affecting its contraction or cans
ing the patient the slightest pain
or discomfort.
“The opeiation was performed
under a local anaesthetic,” writes
the surgeon, “eucaine with adren
alin being used The heart was
exposed. No wound could be
seen, but on examination by the
surgeon’s finger the bullet was
felt at the back of the heart,
either in the muscles or in the
| chamber of the right ventricle.
It was noticed that manipulation
of the heart caused the patient
no pain or discomfort of any kind.
though the organ occasionally
missed a beat, and this in spite
of the fact that the anaesthetic
had been injected only into the
skin and muscles of the chest
wall. The patient, of course, was
conscious throughout.
“The bullet was grasped and
was then felt to be inside the
chamber, so an incision half an
inch long was made in the heart
wall and the bullet removed by
forceps.”—Ex.

RESCUING CHOPIN’S HEART
Before the Russians left War
sow they sent away from thatj
city its most previous relic, thej
heart of Chopin, which had been
kept in a casket in the church of
the Holy Cross there since 1846.
It is now in a place of safety at
Moscow. Shelley’s heart was
also preserved in a casket. When
the poet was drowned off Leg
horn in 1822 his body was cremat
ed by Byron Leigh Hunt and|
Trelawney, and his heart rescu- j
ed from the flames by the last'
named. When King Robert]
Bruce of Scotland died in 1329
his heart too, was preserved in a'
casket. It was given to his friend,!
Sir James Douglas, to be buried
in Jersualem. On his way out
to Palestine Sir James Douglas]
fell fighting against the Moors
in Spain, and as he fell he threw
the precious relic before him in
the battlefield, crying out, 'Now
pass onward as thou were wont,
and Douglas will follow thee or
die.” The heart was found next
day by Sir Simon Leigh whoj
brought it back to Scotland where
it was buried in the roomseyn
at Melrose-—Ex.

insula is the statement conveyed
in a letter just received by Nate
White and William Rustschow,
a business man of that quarter.
The letter was written over two
months ago and just after two
miners had returned from the
strike with $300 in gold dust
which they had sluiced from the j
new creek. .The writer of the!
letter describes the scene of the
strike as between Cold bay and a
place called Katsma bay, Cold
bay is opposite Unga island on
the peninsula. The new creek
has been called Three Pine creek

visited the place and seen the

as to the authenticity of the in
formation. So well does the out

BERMAN WOMEN
DIG A SUBWAY
New York Times.
Loiterers about the new Berlin
subway works see a strange sight.
The other flight some thirty
young and middle-aged women,
bareheaded, despite the wintry
night air, rhythmically tossed
shovelfuls of sand into a string
of small pressed steel dirt cars.
They were a small part of the
night shift working on the new
Berlin subway, which now is be
ing dug principally by women.
They toiled ten feet below the
sidewalk level, and a gang of
Irishmen or Italians could not
make the subway sand fly faster.
A husky forewoman set the pace.
Everywhere, out of sight, where
operations have made greater
progress and the ditch is timber
ed over, several hundred women j
were digging just as efficiently.
Still other new uses for women
are to be noted with the engin
eering force which is tunneling
