Tart I.
From the paper on "The Army Medical
Museum at Washington," by Surgeon J. J.
Woodward, we take the following aooount of
the collection of surgical specimens:
The surgical section consists at present of
about six thousand specimens, of which the
majority belong to the category of military
surgery, though many other surgical subjects
are already well illustrated. There are speci
mens exhibiting the effects of missiles of
every variety on all parts of the body; speci
mens which show the different stages of the
processes of repair, and the several morbid
conditions which may interfere with their
favorable termination; specimens de
rived from surgical operations
of every character calculi, tumors,
and the like. The osseous specimens are for
the most part preserved dry, neatly cleaned,
mounted on little black stands, that they may
be handled without injuring them, and duly
ticketed with their catalogue numbers. A
considerable number of specimens, however,
from their nature, require to be preserved as
wet preparations; these have been neatly dis
sected, and are preserved with clear alcohol in
glass jars similar to those used in the medi
cal section.
There are also three hundred and fifty
plaster casts representing the mutilations
resulting from injuries and surgioal opera
tions. A series of over four hundred exam
ples of missiles extracted from wounds, and
showing the effects of the percussion npon
the missiles themselves may also be men
tioned. Latterly, a number of interesting
preparations displaying the effects of arrow
wounds and other injuries peculiar to Indian
hostilities have been received.
To give any detailed description of such a
collection is of course out of the question;
yet it may be of interest to state that there
are npon the shelves 211 specimens of frac
ture of the cranium, inoluding 46 cases of
trephining; 10 of depressed fraoture of the
inner table, without injury of the outer, a
rare and interesting condition on which it
would be out of place to comment here; and
22 specimens of wounds by sabres and other
cutting weapons.
There are 5!) examples of amputations at
the shoulder-joint, 138 of amputations of the
arm, and 5G of the forearm; 182 excisions of
the shoulder-joint, and 173 other excisions at
various points in the upper extremities.
The lower extremities furnish 14 amputa
tions of the hip, 436 of the thigh, and 161 of
the leg; with 25 excisions of the hip-joint, 1)
of the knee-joint, and 56 otner excisions at
various points in the lower extremities.
A series of 225 fraotures of the thigh
in which conservative measures nave
been attempted must also receive notice;
and special mention may be made of
t(i sequestra, or portions of dead bone
extracted from stumps after amputation, of
which 73 are from the thigh. Some of the
latter series of specimens are very remark
able, several of them being from six to eight
inches long, and a few even exoeeding the
latter extraordinary dimensions. Alter am
nutation in the continuity of the long bones,
especially in military sorcery, it not nnfre-
qnently happens that the death or necro
sis, as Burgeons term it of a portion of the
shaft of the bone ensues. A prooess of
ulceration is then set up, by which the
dead portion is separated from that part of
the bone which still retains its vitality.
Simultaneously, a formation of new bone
takes place beneath the membrane covering
the shaft, so that when ultimately the dead
sequestrum loosens and is drawn out, a hollow
mass of living bone, which is slowly filled up
by natural processes, remains, and sooures
the full length of the stamp. This prooess
was not folly appreciated at the beginning of
the war. Instances are well known and
doubtless many others have esoaped observa
tion in which, on account of the recogni
tion of dead bone in the stump after amputa
tions in the continuity of the long bones,
second or even third operations were resorted
to, which might judiciously have been
avoided had the operators been as fully
acquainted with the natural processes
in such oases as all may now become
by the Btudy of the specimens of the
museum, or of the descriptions of them
which have been published.
as a matter rainer oi popular than of sur
gical interest, mention must also be made of
' a shelf in this series on which stand, side by
side, specimens derived from the mutilated
limbs of seven general officers. Need it be
said that no critical eye could distinguish them
from the similar mutilations of subalterns or
of private soldiers ? Nevertheless, it is not
uninteresting to know that the speci
mens mentioned are here with the fall
spproDauon oi the distinguished gen
tlemen wnese wounds furnished them.
As a memorable example, when at Get-
A 1 .1 11 1 , i m
ijmuarg me gauant leaaer oi one ox oar
army corps was struck down by a frag
ment of shell, whioh shattered the bones of
Jus leg to such an extent as to render ampu
tation necessary, the first thought of the suf
ferer after the Bhook of the operation was of
the museum at Washington, to whioh ha
ordered the broken bone to be seat, in the
tope that his misfortune might prove the
gain of fellow-soldiers in the future. With
such examples, no humbler individual has
ever found fault with the preservation of
fragments of his own mutilated frame for this
sacred purpose.
Altogether, it may safely be asserted that
in the illustration of military surgery this
section not only exceeds any other surgical
museum in the United States, but surpasses
toy similar collection hitherto made in the
Old World a faot whioh has been frequently
and willingly admitted by foreign savants well
acquainted with the subject who have viaited
Washington. '

From "The Scientific Miscellany" we take
the following on "The Cariosities of Glyce
rine:"
A new chapter in the witcheries of ehem
istry was opened by the ingenious Frenohman
Chevreul in 1817, when he discovered that
fats are salts of whioh the base is a bland,
sweet, Byrupy liquid called glycerine. Its
property of long continuing moist, while it
is not of a greasy nature, has made it an
agent of great utility in medioine and the
arts. It is used to correct kardness and dry
ness of the skin, in deafness, sore throat, in
urinary calculi, and as a vehiole for adminis
tering other medicines whoso properties it is
desirable to disguise. It is admirable for
keeping poultices long soft. It has various
uses in the toilet; a function in photography;
is admirable for preserving soft-bodied am
mals;and is invaluable to the microsoopist for
his preparations.
When glycerine was about thirty years old,
that is in 1847, an Italian named Sobero
opened a new career for it. Its composition
was found to be a triatomio alcohol, and it
was capable of forming what are called sub
stitution compounds. When allowed slowly
to trickle into a mixture of equal measures
of nitric acid and oil of vitriol, at a low tern
perature, two atoms of its hydrogen are re
placed by two atoms of protoxide of nitro-
geB, and there results a heavy oily liquid
known as nitro-glvcerine, a body which has
more than ten times the explosive power of
gunpowder. It has come into extensive use
for blasting; and the number of terrible acci
dents that have happened from it by explosion
from mere friction illustrates not only the
tremendous forces that can be stored up in
the shape of atomio tensions, but how ex
quisite is the balance by whioh such terrible
agencies are kept in equilibrium.
How to make nitro-glycerinesaie was the
problem proposed by Nobel, a Swedish mining
engineer, and his success has been as won
derful as the subject he experimented with
He found that by mixing it with ten per cent,
of wood spirit it was rendered perfectly harm
less, and could be thus sately transported.
Before it can be used the wood spirit requires
to be separated, which is easily done; but
this, of course, reconverts the nitro-glycer-ine
into the original state, when it is as
dangerous as ever. But Nobel discovered
that by mixing with it twenty-five per cent
or very hue Band, a brownish-look
ing powder results, which behaves in a
way remarkably different from the nitro
glycerine. When ignited it burns without
explosion; if struck with a hammer on an
anvil, the portion struck takes fire without
inflaming the rest. A case of eight pounds
placed on a brisk fire was consumed without
noise or shock; a similar case Hang from a
height of Bixty-five feet on a rook did not ex
plode, while a weight of two hundred pounds
falling twenty feet npon a mass of it smashed
the box which held it, but without explosion
It may, however, be effectually fired by the
use of fulminate of silver, such as is used in
percussion caps, while the fulminate may be

From Thurlow Weed's reminiscences
of "Lieutenant-General Winfield Soott," we
make this extract:
One evening, after our rubber. I said to
the General, "There is one question I have
often wished: to ask you. but have been re
strained by the fear that it might be impro

he replied. wen, men, uenerai, did any.
.. . . .. . A . -
ining remarsaoie nappen 10 you on the morn
ing oi me Dame ox umppewa t After a
brief but impressive silence, he said, "Yes,
sir; something did happen to me something
very remarkable. I will now, for the third
time in my life, relate the story:
"ibe 4th day of July, 1814. was one of ex
treme heat. On that day my brigade ski r
mished with a British force nnmm&nAad hv
General Riall from an early hour in the morn-
iuK tw wto m me anernoon. We had driven
the enemy aown the river some twelve miles
to Street's creek, near Chippewa, where we
eiicuiupcu u wi "'guv, our army occupying
iu went, vii me enemy was en
camped on tne east Biae.oi the creek, After
our tents had been pitched, I obaerved a fia?
1 t : , j 5t
uorne oy a uiau ju easum. uresa, approach
ing my marquee. He brought a letter from
a lady who oooupied a large mansion on the
opposite Bide of the creek, informing me that
she was the wife or a member or rariiaweut.
who was then at Quebec; that her children,
servants, and a young lady friend were alone
with her in the house; that General Riall had
placed a sentinel before her door; and that
the ventured, with great doubts of the pro
priety of the request, to ask that I would
place a sentinel upon the bridge to protect
her against stragglers from oar camp. I as- 1
sured the messenger that the lady s request
should be complied with. Early the same
morning, the same messenger, bearing a
white Sag, reappeared with a note from the
same lady, thanking me for the protection
she had enjoyed, adding that in acknowledg
ment of my oivilities, she begged that I
would, with sach members of my staff as
I chose to bring with me, acoept the hospi
talities of her house at a breakfast which
had been prepared with considerable atten
tion, and was quite ready. Aoting upon an
impulse which I have never been able to
analyze or comprehend, I called two of my
aids, Lieutenants Worth and Watts, and re
turned with the messenger to the mansion
already indicated. We met our hostess at
the door, who ushered as into the dKning-
room, where breakfast awaited us, and
where the young lady previously referred to
was already seated by the coffee-urn. Oar
hostess, asking to be excused for a few min
utes, retired, and the young lady immediately
served our coffee. Before we had broken
our fast, Lieutenant Watts rose from the
table to get his bandana (that being before
the days of napkins), which he had left in
his cap on a side-table by the window, glanc
ing through which he saw Indians approach
ing the house on one Bide and red-coats ap
proaching it on the other, with an evident
purpose of surrounding it and as, and in
stantly exclaimed, 'General, we are betrayed?'
Springing from the table and clearing the
honse, I saw our danger, and remembering
Lord Chesterfield had said, 'Whatever it is
proper to do, it is proper to do well,' and as
we bad to run, and my legs were longer than
those of my companions, I soon outstripped
them. As we made our escape we were fired
at. but got across the bridge in safety. -
'1 felt so much shame and mortification at
having bo nearly fallen into a trap, that I
could scarcely fix my mind upon the duties
which now demanded my undivided attorn
tion. I knew that I had committed ft great
indiscretion in accepting that singular invi
tation, and that if any disaster resulted from
it I richly deserved both to lose my commis
Bion and my character. I constantly found
myself wondering whether the lady really
ended to betray as, or whether we had
been accidentally observed. The question
would recur even amid the excitement oi
battle. Fortunately my presence and ser
vices in the field were not required until
Generals Porter and Ripley had been en.
gaged at intervals for several hours; so
that when my brigade, with Towson's
artillery, were ordered to cross Street's
creek, my nerves and confidence had become
measurably quieted and restored. I need
not describe the battle of Chirmewa.
That belongs to and is a part of the history
of our country. It is sufnoient to say that at
the close of the day we were masters of the
position, and that our arms were in no way
discredited. The British army had fallen
back,leaving their weunded in our possession.
The mansion which I had visited in the morn.
ing was the largest house near, and to that
the wounded officers in both armies were oar
tied for surgical treatment. As Boon as I
could leave the field I went over to look after
my wounded. 1 found the English officers
lying on the first floor, and our own on the
floor above. i saw in the lower roon the
young lady whom I met in the morning at the
breakfast table, her white dress all sprinkled
with blood. - She bad been attending to the
British wonnded. On the second floor, just
as I was turning into the room where our
officers were, I met my hostess.
"One glance at her was quite sufficient to
answer the question which I had been asking
myself all day. She had intended to betray
me, and nothing but the accident of my aid
rising for his handkerchief saved us from
capture.
"Years afterwards, in reflecting npon this
incident, I was led to doubt whether I had
not misconstrued her startled manner as I
suddenly encountered her. That unexpected
meeting would have occasioned embarrass
ment in either contingency; and it is so
difficult to believe a lady of cultivation and
refinement capable of such an aot, that l am
now, nearly half a century after the event.
disposed to give my hostess the benefit of
that doubt.
"And now, sir," added the General, "this
is the third time in my life I have told this
story. I do not remember to have been
spoken to before on the subject for many
years. He looked at me, and seemed to be
considering with himself a few moments, and
then said: "Remembering your Intimaoy
with General Worth, I need not inquire how
yon came to a knowledge of our Beoret.
"Well, General, I replied, "1 have Kept
the secret faithfully for more than forty years,
always hoping to obtain your own version of
what struck me as a most remarkable incident
in your military life."
