COLD THAT BURNS.
Its Effects Are Not Very Different From
ScOrChing by Heat.

Its Effects Are Not Very Different From
ScOrching by Heat.
Burning is usually associated with heat,
and it seems a misnomcr to speak of cold
burns. Chemists tell us that there is really
no such thing as cold, which is relative
heat, and that the lowest temperature yet
registered is some degrees above absolute
cold.
At meeting of the Swiss Society of
Natural Sciences at Lausanne NJ Raoul
Pictet gave some particulars concerning
cold burns experienced by himself and as
sistants during his Investigations of the
lowest temperature attainable There are
two degrees of burns. In one case the skin
reddens at first and turns blue the follow
ing day, and subsequently the area of the
spot expands until it becomes nearly dou-
BILE its original dimensions The burn, ;"
which is usually not healed until five or
six weeks after its occurrence, is accom-
panied by a very painful itching on the
affected spot and the surrounding tissues
When the burning is more serious, pro-
duced by longer contact with the cold
body, burn of the second degree is ex-
pericnced. In this case the skin is rapidly
detached, and all parts reached by the cold
behave like foreign bodies. A long and
stubborn suppuration sets in, which does
not seem to accelerate the reconstruction
Of the tissues. The wounds are malignant
and scar very slowly in manner entirely
different from burns produced by fire.
On one occasion, when NJ. Pictet was
suffering from IA severe burn due to a drop
of liquid air, he accidentally scorched the
same hand very seriously. The scorched
portion was healed in 10 or IL days, but
the wound produced by the cold burn was
open for upward of six months. In order
to try the effect of radiation in dry cold
air NJ. Pictct held his bare arm up to tho
elbow in refrigerating vessel maintained
at lO5 degrees, when Il sensation of pc
cularly distinct character was felt over
the whole skin and throughout the mus
Giles. At first this sensation was not dis
agreeable, but gradually it became decid
edly so, and after three or four minutes
the skin turned blue, and tho pain became
more intense and deep seated. On with
drawing the arm from tn, refrigerator at
the end of ten minutes a strong reaction
was experienced, accompanied by n super
fetal Inflammation of the skin.-Newcas-
tie Chronicle.

A NEW THEORY.
A Detroit Professor Has New Idea Con-
corning Astronomy.

CtElllhS AsbTOHOnlJs
Professor Getsinger, a Detroit savant,
has been five years perfecting the details of
a new theory and system of astronomy.
This theory he sums up thus:
Il evolved, invented or discovered a now
universal system of astronomy in which
the sun is a stupendous ring All stars are
worlds moving in and out of this ring.
Solar systems are a number of planets
moving around the same portion of the
sun ring in almost parallel lines. Fixed
stars and their groups or consultations are
worlds-not suns-highly developed, self
luminous and far from the sun proper.
This sun ring is evolved with worlds
thrown from the sun during its active pc
RODS of time incOmprehensible. The sun
spots are volcanoes on the sun that former
ly sent out these world masses during ter
rifle explosions caused by an accumulation
of gases under the suns surface.
Man was not created. He was simply
formed or designed out of that which was
created. He is an embodied mind. What
is attraction? Attraction Of human beings
to each other is governed by laws the Same
as molecules attract and repeL What is
the cause of the chemical nature of the ele-
ments? The latter are grouped in octaves
giving a new basis to chemistry Concep-
ton is not an accident. 1t is governed by
heretofore unknown laws. This explains
heredity. "-Chicago Times Herald.
