VICTIMS OF LIGHTNING,
Electrician Says They Can Be Restored

cases In which persons are struck by

IF q person has been struck by light
ming the first thing to do Is to 20 to
work to restore consciousness, as light
ming oftener brings about suspended
animation than somatic death. The con-
dition OF a person struck by lightning
Is, much the same as that of person
rescued from drowning. Try to stimu-
late respiration and circulation. Do not
cease In the effort to restore animation
in less than an hour, as you value the
life Of the sufferer.
THE method used to restore respire-
tion is immaterial. A good way Is to
initiate the motions Of respiration by
alternately COMPRISING and expanding
the lower ribs. Do this gently but per
sistently at the rate of twenty times per
minute. Keep the body. warm by the ap-
plication of hot f1anneis. bottles of hot
water, hot bricks, or in case of an emer-

A LANCASTER man, and warm
friend of the oystermen, who is now
In Richmond, writes us hasty letter
in which be says there is tremen-
dous sentiment in the Legislature in
favor of breaking the Baylor Survey
and throwing out the rocks. He
says the tongmen have abused the Gull
lawand these facts have been brought
before the Legislature by officials
connected with the oyster industry.
The writer is afraid efforts will now
be unavailing to stem the current
against the tongmen, though he still
hopes it may be assuaged. Our
friend thinks the oystermen should
put forth a berculean effort, and
that at once, to have their interests
represented before the legislative
body. The CITIZEN has felt for
some time that this would inevitably
De the result, but we shudder to pre-
dict what would be the consequence.
We have done all that was possible
TO protect and aid the tongman in
his battle for existence, and good
many of them have appreciated the
predicamenti lin which they are placed
and have endeavored to conform to
law. But we fear large majority of
them, and nearly all of the negro
oystermen, have disregarded the law,
taking real delight in lodging
the oyster police and inspectors
and in going to the fullest extent of
their ability in breaking up the rocks.
These are hot words, but they are
also cold facts.
