Proper Treatment For Burns.

In case of burns death may be due.
first, to asphyxia; second, to shock,
and, third, to septicaemia.
The medical man seldom gets to the
case in time to treat the first condi-
ton, the second is essentially q gen
eral condition, while the whole success
In preventing the third depends upon
the immediate local treatment 1t is
therefore the last condition which must
be considered here. Among the public
it is generally accepted idea that the
thing to do In the case Of burn Is to
dust -four over 1t or to cover it with
oil, and, indeed, even in some compar
atively late text books on surgery Il
mixture known as "Carron oip' is ad
vocated.
The use of such applications cannot
be too strongly deprecated, and, indeed
If the lay mind could be taught that
the best thing to put on burn before
the doctor Is called is hot compress
which should contain some boraclt
acid if there is any in the house, it il
probable that the majority of deaths
due to septicaemia after burns would
be prevented.
For the whole aim and object of the
local treatment is to prevent sepsis

opinion of landlubbers who know moth
ing of the mysteries of the deep. If
serpents only had money l would not
have to advertise in a London paper
for capitalist to back my scheme"
Have you devised any plan for
catching sea serpent:" he was asked.
"Of course l have" he answered. Il
wouldn't expect anybody to put money
into the idea if | hadn't. What / pro-
pose to do is to apply in principle the
method followed by modern whalers
You know they shoot the whale with
a harpoon provided with bomb that
explodes when the line tightens. The
bomb not only kills the whale, but gen
crates a lot of gas, which prevents it
from sinking.
But as sea serpents don't seem to
come to the surface often they will
have to be sought on the bottom at
perhaps considerable depth. and that
will necessitate modification of the
whaling method. Instead of trying TO
shoot q harpoon into sea serpent one
will have to go fishing for him. The
apparatus will be dragged along the
bottom of the sea by Il ship. Attached
to the bait will be bomb. When the
sea serpent swallows the bait he will
swallow the bomb. too. for it needn't
be a particularly big one to do the
business, When the sea serpent starts
moving of course he will give yank
on the line. That yank will release
three steel claws and at the same time
explode the bomb. The steel claws
will prevent the creature from getting
loose even if the bomb don't kill it.
OF course one can't make everything
clear without drawiings. but I've
schemed everything Vat and provided
for fixing the bomb SO that it can't be
discharged by mere contact with the
sea bottom"

The Stadium of modern Athens, seats
