Receiving a bullet wound in 1901 in the South African war, and having it removed 26 years later in Vancouver, has been tho experience of Ex-Trooper W. A. Alexander, who has now practically recovered from an operation performed at the Shaughnessy Military Hospital, in this city. Tho operation was performed on 10th March. At the age of 18 Alexander enlisted at (Melbourne, with three brothers. After eight months of active service he was sovercly wounded in an engagement between the force of General Botha and Colonel Benson's column at Bethel, North-eastern Transvaal, in October, 1901. His wounds were grave, causing a compound fracture of both thighs, and, as he lay wounded, he received another bullet in the back. The latter was regarded by the doctor who attended him as being only a flesh wound, as it healed while he was being treated in hospital for his major disablement. NATURE'S PROTECTION. As years went on, pain developed in the spine, which Alexander took to be rheumatism. Eventually it began to cause him some alarm, and ho placed himself in the care of Dr. Wallace Wilson, of Vancouver, where he had settled down. An X-ray examination showed four pieces of metal close to the spine, which, when removed under an anaesthetic, proved to be parts of an explosive bullet. The largest piece taken out was the base of the bullet, and was found to be encased in a covering of gristle, quarter of an inch thick. This covering was, no doubt, Nature's way of protecting the tender flesh from the jagged edges of the projectile. It is surmised that it formed while he was recovering from his other wounds. Alexander thinks the bullet struck his ammunition pouch, and exploded before actually entering the flesh. Despite his wounds, he became a noted athlete here, aud represented the Vancouver Athletic Club, also winning the amateur middle-weight boxing championship of British Columbia, and the Pacific Coast championship in the same class. He is a prominent Labour delegate, and did much towards establishing the eight-hour day for engineers in the lumber mills of this province. The teredo, or ship worm, which does great damage to ships, piers, and wharves, has in its head small, hard shells which form a drill powerful enough to bore into the hardest woods. .
