Washing Smoke.

An Italian engineer, Signor Clio
vani Magma, has been experimenting
with new system of smoke puri-
fiction, which is especially applica-
BILE to engine boilers, and consists of
centrifugal fan, mounted close to
the chimney, and drawing its supply
OF smoke from the chimney, dis
charging it into a closed tank OF
water. In this tank are revolving
vanes or agitators, which create a
vortex into which the smoke is
sucked into the water as we'll as be-
ing driven from above on to it-and
thoroughly washed before being dis
charged into the atmosphere
through holes in the top OF the
tank.

ELECTRIC SHOCK VICTIMS.
Best Formula For Treating Persons Struck
By the Electric Current.

One OF the contingencies of modern civ
ilization which is almost entirely new and
is wholly dependent upon the development
Of modern industry is the treatment Of &c
cidents from electric shock. The matter
says The Medical Record has been dis
cussed quite thoroughly by physicians in
this country, but it has been worked out
perhaps more Systematically by DIR. Ar
sonyal Of Paris who has recently made q
report 10 the Academic de Medicine Of
Paris upon tho method of treating persons
injured by electrical shocks. D'Arsonyal
states that electricity causes death some
times directly by the descriptive and cleo
trolytio effects Of the charge on the tissues.
This death il final. Ii sometimes, howev-
er, causes death indirectly by arrest Of res
piration and syncope, caused by stimula-
ton Of the nerve centers. Under these cir
cunlstanceS !. person may be revived If
proper measures are applied.
The formula Cor reyiving tho victim OF
electric shock is this: The person so dis
abled should be treated like one drowned
in other words he should be laid upon the
back, and artificial respiration performed
in the way THAT is ordinarily described.
SunU further practical advice, however, is

the scene of the accident and at the time
when the person is perhaps still in contact
with the wires. OF course the first thing
10 be done is TO stop the current or break
the contact. In doing the latter one should
not touch the victim on the face or hands
or any naked part of the body. 1t is better
to lift him by the coattails or to throw
blanket over him and pull him by this
Nothing that is wet should be thrown up
On him, and If his clothes are wet the
hands should not be pnt in contact with
them. y piece Of dry wood can be placed
under the body, and he can then be lifted
The further treatment of the case is the
familiar one applied in attempting tore,
store the drowned. The arms are worked
and the tongue is kept drawn out; the
body may sometimes be rubbed sherough-
" with a cloJn or brush in order to in
crease the circulation OF the blood. Oxygen
and perhaps 4 stimulant may be employed

Boiled Water and Impurities.

1t is generally believed that the most
impure water can be rendered pure by
boiling and that in this we have an ALSO
lutte safeguard against the dangers of wa
ter containing disease germs. Now. while
it is true that boiling will kill the germs
of disease, yet the fact has been brought to
our notice by so high an authority as DR..
Charles Nj. Cresson that, while boiling
kills the germs of IA particular disease, il
yet in reality renders the water more i'm
pure than it was before, because by the
very death of these germs dead organic
matter is allowed TO remain in the water,
which it pollutes by putrefaction Hence,
while boiling is "a most excellent precau
ton against the occurrence of typhoid
fever or similar diseases when we have oc-
casion to think the germs of these diseases
exist in the water that we drink, yet we
must remember that this boiling does not
purify the water II simply removes from
1t the specific power to produce specific
disease. Philadelphia American.
