CURE FOR BURNS.
How to ossckIy Stop Them From Be-
ina Painful.


The following cure for burns is given
with approval in the report of the
inspectors Of factories for Ontario
| The suffering caused by burn upon
the skin, whether small or great, is in
tense, as every one knows, and med.
ical science has only been able thus
far to paliate the pain. but not TO re
move 1t entirely. Chance led TO the
discovery In the Paris Charity hospi-
tai Of remedy which, II is claimed,
will cause burns to cease from being
painful as soon as II is applied ana
which will cause injured flesh to heal
with marvellous rapidly says Cham
bers Journal DR.. Thierry, one OF the
surgeons, was In the habit of using
picrlc acid as an antlseptic, and his
hands were therefore impregnatcd
with the solution. One day In light
ing a cigarette portion OF the burn
ing match fell on his hands, but In
stead Of feeling II he noticed not the
slightest pain. A short time afterward
while sealing letter some Of the
burning wax stuck to his finger and,
though 1t cauterized the skin, he felt
no sensation.
This set him thinking, and he ar.
rived at the conclusion that the acid
had, to use his own words, acted upon
the tissues and frightened them. He
began a series of experiments In treat
Ing burns with a saturated solution Of
plcric acid All pain was instantly
suppressed. He says in his report that
after having bathed the wound In a
solution Of this acid blisters did not
form and a cure was effected after
four or five days. The only inconyen-
fence was that the acid, which is com.
mercially used In the manufacture Of
dyes, colored the skin yellow, but these
stains rapidly disappeared when wash
ed with boric acid

NEGRO TROOPS HELD GUILTY.
Senate Committee Acts on shooting
Up" Of Brownsville.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Eight of the
13 members of the senate committee
on military affairs voted to sustain
President Roosevelt in his summary
discharge of the negro soldiers i'm
p1icated in the shooting up of
Brownsville, Tex, on the night Of
August 13, 1906. That the shooting
was done by some of the negro SOL
diers of the Twenty-fifth United States
infantry and that the testimony taken
before the senate committee on mill.
tary affairs fails to identify the guilty
parties, is the judgment of the com.
mittee. Four members voted against
this decision and one did not vote.
The resolution declaring the guilt
of the negroes was submitted by Sen.
!ator Lodge and was adopted after five
resolutions by Senator Foraker, one
by Senator Dupont and one by Sena.
tor Scott, all of which were offered as
substitutes. had been voted down.

OUR WARSnIPS GOOD As ANY
REAR ADMIRAL CAPPS REPLIES
TO MAGAZINE ARTICLE.
Chief Constructor Of Navy Answers
Criticisms Before Senate Naval
Committee.

Washington, Feb. 27.-Rear Admiral
Washington Lee Capps, chief con.
structor of the navy, Wednesday
before the senate committee on
naval affairs replied to the mag
azine article written by Hen
ry Reuterdahl in criticism of the con-
struction of American battleships. The
admiral asserted that the American
ships are the equal Of ships of any
navy of the, world. The most serious
charges made, he said. were of insult
ticient free board. meaning height
from water line to deck; insufficient
gun height, and improper location Of
main line armor belts, and all these
he explained have been the subject
of the closest study and experiment
for many years by naval designers
of every country. Admiral Capps
characterized as exploded" the the
ory that if shell penetrated the ar
NOR plate at slight incline it would
be DETECTED upward by the armor
Of the protected deck. Gail Efforts he
added, Should be directed toward
keeping the shell out; all the armor
should be put on the ship in vertical
FORM"
"Put it all on the outsider" re-
marked Senator Tillman.
Exactly, for if a shell goes through
II inches Of armor it will explode any
way. The protected deck would not
be a protection at ALL"
The admiral said the fact that in the
Dreadnaught class in Great Britain,
and the Delaware class in the United
States, the forward free board has
been made one deck higher than the
previous class does not indicate that
the latter was too low.
"They are Just right for their type"
he said. "The Delaware is made high
forward because she is designed on
finer lines, much longer and for great
er speed. which, of course, casts the
spray higher. No increase has been
made in the free board except at the
bow"
He stated that during the five hours
firing in the fight Of the sea Of Japan,
the rapidity of firing from big guns
of Japanese vessels was only one
fourth of that maintained by the
American navy during recent target
practice
