BATHING IN OlL.-It has often been ask
ed whethsrit would be possible for man
to swim in oil. The question was rrac-
ticslly solved the other day by workman
employed in an oil mandatory at Niece,
who fell into tank Of olive oil nine feet
deep. He was an expert swimmer. but he
went to the bottom like plummst, and
only saved from drowning by the timely
aid of q comrads. Oil is too light to swim
in; il is not sufficiently buoyant, and docs
Not Offer the resistance necessary to keep
man ahoat. On the other hand, it is worth
knowing that If bath Of oil offers dangers
to the swimmer, there are occasions on
which it may be of valuable use, for it is
the best Of all remedies for serious burns.
~ German ballet girl, whose dress had
caught fire aud who hsd been horribly
burned in consequence, was put in bath
full Of oil by the shief physician Of the
Leipsic Hospital. She was suffering ex-
Graciating agonies, but the oil causing her
pains 10 cease Immediately. She remained
ON the bath vine days and nights, the oil
being ienewed five times during the period,
and her burns were then so far healed tha!
abe could bs taken out without danger.
