WHY BURNS ARE DANGEROUS.

DR.. Poncetton, of Paris, writes in La
Nature that burns cause death by heart
failure, due to nervous shock, or of
chemical changes in the blood bringing
about internal affections or actual poi
soning. The extent Of a burn, rather
than its depth, is what makes it seri-
Gus. A whole finger may be burned off
without threatening it's owners life.
while even a slight burn affecting
quarter of the body is dangerous. The
primary cause is nervous shock, which
causes anemia. The expenditure of ner-
vous sensibility exceeds the patients
forces of resistance, and brings about
weakness Of the heart. respiratory trou-
bles and chilliness. Where the tissues
have been destroyed they form albumi-
noids. and the patient dies from the
same cause as one does from albuminu-
ria or diabetes.

That depends on how long you wish ia

that mixed with clear vinegar il win

A German has invented a balloon
motor for mountainous countries where
the grades are too stiff for an ordinary
railroad. The balloon Is fastened to
slide running along a single steel rail,
and floats about 35 feet above the
ground. The conductor can make the
balloon slide up or down the side Of
mountain at will, with hydrogen gas for
the ascent and water for the descent
From the balloon is supported circu-
lar car with room for 10 passengers.

A practical discovery Of great impor-
lance is reported from California. The
oil used there for fuel Is thick, and its
flow in pipe Is about as sluggish as
that of molasses. Two Of the men in
the employ Of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, which uses a great deal of this
oil, conceived the idea of employing
water as a lubricant to diminish the
friction between the oil and the sides
of the pipe. The experiment was tried,
and resulted in great success. In order
to use the water effectively, however,
the pipes must have a spiral groove like
that of q rife barrel. The water flows
through these grooves and spreads out
In thin film which makes the oil slip
along more easily. A pipe line 81 miles
long and eight inches in diameter has
been constructed on this plan. and 1t
will deliver from eight to 10 times as
fast as plain pipe will.
