A sapper in the Iloyal Engineers tells the .story of an extraordinary eacape which one of his comrades experieneeid. A bullet took his eta.p off and cut a, groove, through his hair, without injuring the scalp, in soil; a, manner that it looked as though he heal carefully partedhis hair down the centre, says London Tit -Bits. This is but another illustration Of the tricks that bullets play at times. It is doubtful, however, if any soldier in the present cam- paign has hod such marvelous es- capes as Lieut.. A. C. John•son, the Rents County cricketer, who re- lates how, shortly before he woe slightly wonnded, a shell hit the wall six inches above his head, while shortly afterwards a bullet hi% the ground half -a yaird in front of him, bounded up and hit him on the body, bruising hie ribs. Then a bullet hit hian over the heart, but was sp.ent before reathing hint, and when in the hospital he pidked it out of his lefisihand breast pocket andsent it home to his wife. A charmed boo, seems to be borne by a private of the Man- ehe•ster regiment, who relates how While smoking a cigarette in the trenchee, a, bullet took the "fag" out of his mouth, while another cut the crown off his hat, leaving the peak still Sticking oat his 'head. And it is characteristic of the hu- mor of "Tommy," even when the fire is hottest, that when a, bullet took off the top of a tin of bully beef which another private had in 13110 hand, he lookeitt Eit it, eoolly turned roun.d, made a, 1:1041, in the direction 01 4110 enemy, and thank- ed them for saving him the trouble of finding a tinaoperter.

"I am hit," he said -to lois chum, Looking down, however, he saw that the bullet had struck a clip of cartridges in his top leit-hand youth, but had done no other damage.
