when so compressed Is shown by the
fact that the weight of the vessels Is
increased slightly by lllllug theui with
compressed air ami that such vessels
become specifically "lighter" as soon
as the air coutalned in them Is ex

Many elaborate experiments on the

TROOPS IN BATTLE
Trained Soldiers Are Wholly In
different to Danger.
FACE DEATH WITHOUT FEAR.
Thought of Calamity Bothers Them
Not, and They May Be Severely
Wounded Without Feeling Pain.
Unique Analogy From Railroad Life.
The thought of not coming out of a
battle alive rarely enters the mind of a
seasoned soldier, and lie goes into the
conflict fired only with the sense of a
patriotic duty to be well and faithfully
performed, with perhaps a vague hope
of promotion for a deed of bravery or
daring. Very few people are afraid of
a natural death, but a violent death Is
different, and yet "hundreds of thou
sands of men have gone to meet practi
cally certain destruction without giv
ing a sign of terror."
Concerning the absolute Indifference
of the trained soldier to death in the
midst of battle and the reasons there
for, Dr. MacKenna employs a unique
and graphic Illustration from the rail
road world.
"Let us imagine,' he says, "that the
brain, the organ that links up the body
with the sources of thought and action,
is a railway terminus Into which ruu
lines from all pnrts of the country.
There are lines to and from the eyes,
the ears, the feet, the hands and every
muscle in the body.
"lu the boat of battle trains loaded
with messages are racing ou the down
line to every miijcle. Ou a well or
dered railway system certain trains
have priority, while others are held
bark until congestion is relieved and
some of the tracks are cleared.
"A wise train di >patcher will see that
a slow freight train does not get ill tlie
way and block the progress of a pas
senger express, and the mltid acting in
this role takes care that no traiu laden
with fear tiuds Its way out of the
terminus to throw the oilier trade Into
confusion. There are no tracks to spare
for such a c.irgo, the whole railway
system is occupied with the supply of
uiore urgent necessities.
"Ry a similar observation one can ex
plain the frequently repeated statement
that in the heat of battle a soldier may
sustain a formidable wound and feel no
pain whatever and even be unaware
that he has been h't.
"The Injured limb or or:an dispatches
an express train along Mie line of some
sensory nerve to the railway terminus
In the brain, but ou drawing near the
terminus the signals are found to be
against It, and it cannot force its way
through the press of traflic Into the
station. It Is therefore sidetracked.
"Hut Just as an ordinary train will
try to call the attention of the signal
man by blowing its whistle when the
signal Is against It. so a sensation of
pain may succeed in calling the atten
tion of the brain to its existence by
sending on a message not of pain, but
of heaviness or pressure.
"This may have the effect of opening
a path for the whole train to run
through, and the wounded man begins
to discover that he has been hit or
hurt Hut in most cases a long inter
val elapses between the infliction of
the wouud and the realization of the
soldier that he lias been wounded.
"I have been informed by a soldier
who had a large piece blown out of his
thigh that he was quite unaware of his
injury for several minutes. (lis atten
was attracted by hearing bis foot
'squelch' every time he moved it On
looking down he saw that his boot was
full of blood; then ah'iost immediately
he felt a dull ache in the thigh, follow
ed very shortly by a sensation of acute
paiu.
"Iii this case, to retain to our illus
tration, the messages of pa :ti from the
wounded thigh lit:d lecn held up liy con
gestion of trntlic near the terminus.
We may Imagine that the Impeded train
tried to eall the attention of the signal
man. but failed to do so until 11 mes
sage sent from the suburban station of
sight, not far from the terminus, got
through nnd informed the station mas
ter that a very important train from a
remote part of the country was being
held tip. The levers were then at once
drawn, ami the sensation of pain pass
ed on to the seusoriuiu." — St, i-ouis

The first woman's paper to lie estab

purpose of spreading abroad news of
the new woman's rights propaganda
was the Ijily, a tiny four page weekly
sheet edited by Mrs? Amelia Bloomer
of Soneca Kalis, N. V. This-was begun
in 1849, Just the year after that famous

HEY'RE "HTPRESS"
Boots, made all in one piece
—soles and uppers—without a
seam to work loose. That's one
reason why they're so different from
the ordinary boot, the sole and
upper of which are stuck together
by hand.
"HIPRESS" Boots are made out of
such tough stock—actually the same that
goes into Goodrich Tires — that they
outwear any other boot made. And
they're the foot-easiest boot you ever
