Lives With Bullet In Brain.

Jameß Callan, an Inmate of the Altoona (Pa.) hospital, la probably the

only man living and in apparently good health with a bullet in hia brain. He attempted salcide .August 14 and fired a 38-caliber bullet into his head. For a time he hovered between life and death, and no attempt was made to probe for the bullet. Then he began to rapidly recover. His mind became clear and his normal health returned. The physicians placed him under an X-ray machine and procured a photograph of the man’s skull, showing that the bullet was Imbedded in the middle of the brain. The photograph is reproduced above. Callan, according to a Philadelphia Bnquirer special, says the bullet causes him no inconvenience. He was discharged as cured last week.
