EFFECTS OF GUN POWDER.
The Irritation q: the Mucous Membranes
and Deafness.

and Deafness.
DR.. NJ. H. Simons, United States navy
journal of the American Medical AS
ISOLATION, April Is, 1890, first conSid-
cred the two kinds of powder used on
board-the brown prismatic and the
so-called smCEElesS powders, says the
Medical Age. In the brown, some OF
the grains az unburned, and by the
explosion are finely powdered. This
dust is often own back on the decks
of the ship, ar is somewhat irritating
to the mucous membranes. 1t causes
slight congesti-n, which passes rapidly
away. The smOkeIess powder does
produce some slight amount of smoke,
or rather haziness in the air, after
discharge of large amount. CarDonlc
oxide gas forms in the breech, ana
when the latter is opened is changed
to carbon dioxide; no i'll effects were
noted from this gas. After number
Of discharges the decks become hGZy
with the fumes from this powder and
there is noticed a slight, though ac.c.
smell. It is extremely irritating to all
mucous membranes, though no serious
trouble results. When the decks are
washed down after the firing has
ceased, this all passes away. After the
battle of Santiago there were several
cases of nasal, tonsillar and eye indlm-
nations; these were not complicated
and yielded at once to simple treat
ment. few were deaf some for from
two to four days, but they all recoY-
cred by the use of inhalations and
politzerizing Only two cases were oo-
served in which there was rupture OF
the membrane tympani. Here there
was no pain. but the pat ent5 com
planned of tjnnitus. The doctor stated
that he was himself slightly deaf asa
result Of that ngagement. When a
gun is fired there is a feeling Of sud
den blow, something like the DO"
from a bar of iron. With the small
guns this is quite sharp. but with the
large guns it is more heavy, Some
complained of general muscular sore
ness after the battle The two cases
Of perforation occurred in the vicinity
Of the eight-inch gun. In his OPINION
the deafness was the result Of the lrrl-
tation of the throat. primarily, TINS

OF A BRILLIANT FAMILY.

There are often amusing confusions
OF Mr.. Arnold Henry Savage Lander.
the celebrated English traveller. who
wrote that brilliant book In the For
hidden Land" telling of his fortunes in
Thibet, with his grandfather, Waller
Savage Lander. the celebrated poet
who died about thirty years ago, at the
advanced age OF 80. Until recently
there were two Walter Savage L~ndors
living, the uncle and the brother CT the
explorer. Walter Savage Lander the
second died recently at Geneva, and by
his death the family estates, Ipsley
court in Warwickshire, Llanthony abb
hey in Wales, and various properties
on the continent have passed to the ex-
plorers father, Mr.. Charles Savage
Landor, who has for many years re-
sided at Florence.

The city OF Alexandria. VT, is to
celebrate the sesqui-centennial ami
versary of its foundation Oct. II.
Laid out by Washington, its relation
TO the father of his country was al
ways one of familiar intimacy and
grateful dependence. The owner of
Mount Vernon was practically one of
its citizens, and his associations with
it's civil and religious life are still
abundantly in evidence. Founded to
become busy seaport, Alexandria has
scarcely fulfilled the anticipatious of
its sanguine projectors; but its his
tory has been a dignitied and not
wholly uneventful one, and life within
its quiet limits has been characterized
by many of the charms of an era in
Old Virginia now vital only in the
memories of few scattering surviv-

REGARDLESS of the variance of opin-
ion as TO whom the glory of the San
tiago victory belonged Sampson or
Schley-the assignment of the latter
to a place in the rear in the Dewey
land parade in New York this week,
is an act of injustice that all classes
of people throughout the land Will
protest against. Close as he can be
driven to the Dewey portion of the
parade will ride Admiral Sampson in
a carriage by himself while away
back in the rear, beyond the naval
formation, will ride Admiral Schley
with Admiral Miller, retired. OF the
honors of the Spanish war, events so
shaped themselves that Schley is en-
titled to as much honor as Sampson.
at all events. and as the newly as
signed commander of the South At
lantic squadron, he should at least be
permitted TO ride in 2 carriage
directly back of Admiral Sampson,
while it is very doubtful if naval eti-
quette might not properly have
been stretched n point and placed
Sampson and Schley in the same car
riage. But the influence of the ad-
ADMINISTRATION was TOO strong to permit
that. Sampson must be made the
hero of the occasion, second only to
Dewey himself.
