CORROSIVE ACID BURNS
If SpIashed With VitrioI Plunge Into
Water at Once,


Water at Once.
A burn from sulphuric acid-vitriol,
as it is often called-is one of the most
painful and disfiguring wounds that
can be received. Sulphuric acid Is the
most powerful of caustic liquids.
When it touches the tissues of the
body it disorganizes them rapidly ex-
hausting the water in them, coagulat-
ing their albumen and changing the
nature of their salts, thus bringing
about destruction that is sometimes
fatal. When the burnt place heals it
does so with a hideous scar, resemb-
ling that of leprosy or lupus.
On being splashed with vitriol there
is only one thing to do-rush for the
nearest water and plunge the burnt
member into it. If the face be splash
ed it should be instantly immersed in
a bowl or pail of water, or in a lake
or river if these be handy. The object
is to dilute the acid as quickly as pos
sible and so check it's rapid corrosion
of the flesh, for If let alone it will eat
in to a great depth.
Having washed away the acid, COW
er the wound at once with some aka
Ii, such as limewater or milk or mag
nesia If these are not obtainable suds
made from pure soap will do. Then
treat the wounds as ordinary burns
are treated. If the mouth be burned
it should be rinsed out with water, fol-
lowing this with limewater or milk of
magnesia, which should be kept in
~.
A burn from ammonia, though not
nearly so serious as one from acid. is
very painful. 1t should be treated
with a diluted acid wash made from
vinegar or the juice of a lemon or
lime. Afterward it should be coated
with gum tragacanth or gum arable.-

Insomnia.

Insomnia means simply lack of
sleep. 1t may be of any degree, from
the totally sleepless nights that the
French call NUTS blanches, or white
nights" to a slight diminution in the
rest the sufferer thinks he ought to
have Even the soundest sleepers know
something about bad nights, for 1t Is
impossible to maintain a perfect equi-
ibrium of health all the time, and
sometimes the equilibrium will be
sufficiently disturbed to Danish sleep
for the time.
When the loss Of sleep Is not excess
sive, it is best to regard it as one Of
the inevitable incidents Of existence.
II the wakeful person keeps reason
ably calm about it, he will discover
that what he has lost Is gradually
made up on other nights. and that one
or two bad nights do not mean i'm
somnia"
1t is the good sleeper who frets at an
occasional wakeful night, and begins
to worry over symptoms, and talk
about hypnotics. The poor sleeper, on
the other hand, usually achieves a
philosophy that enables him to lie
awake our after hour and make little
fuss about It,
AS a matter Of fact, sleep Is In large
measure a habit to which many other
habits, both good and bad, contribute.
If children sit up too late, and, above
all, il they are permitted to get excit-
ed at bed time, they may acquire
lifelong habit of light and restless
sleep. 1t is an excellent plan for
adults, as we'll as children, to keep
the last hours of the day tranquil
Some people are sleepless because
they have overeaten, and some be-
cause they are underfed. The late
supper or the cup Of tea or coffee taxi
en- too late in the day, must be given
up in one case; a cup Of hot milk,
slipped slowly, will often give relief In
the other. Remember, too. that mod
crate wakefulness in a cool, well-Ven-
tilated room is less harmful to the
system than a heavy. drugged slum-
ber in an overwarmed and stuffy
room.-Youth's Companion.

THE MYSTERIOUS EEL
Nobody Knows Where the Slippery
Creatures Spawn or How They Do II.

NOBODY Knows Where the slippery
Creatures Spawn or How They Do II.
The Columbia professor had been
fishing in the Hudson, and all he had
to how for two or three hours time
was one eel about foot long.
1T isn't much he said to the friend
who met him homeward bound, "but
an eel Is a much more interesting be-
ing than any other fish, because less
is known about II than the others. For
example, nobody has yet found ont
where the eel deposits its eggs and no
body ever saw an eel that had laid an
egg, as you might say. One spawning
finishes them, as far as anybody
knows.
The eel is peculiar from start to fin
ish. Spawned somewhere in the sea
at depth Of 5000 feet, the spawn
comes to the surface and develops
slowly. A mother eel will deposit from
100000 to 100000 eggs. a larger
quantity than any other vertebrate,
and the young eels in their early
stages are not eel shaped, but fiat as
a postal card and about three inches
long. In about year they round out.
so to speak, and are less in length.
"They are not good swimmers and
the sea currents drift them ashore,
but during the year they are drifting
they take absolutely no food. When
they get to the shore they make at
once for fresh water streams, though
why they should, having been born
and bred in the salt sea, nobody
knows.
They ascend the rivers, all along
our coasts, getting darker In color In
the fresh water, and when they come
to distractions in their passage they
have been known to take to the land
or to trees along shore in order to
reach smooth water beyond.
1.-The females are always larger than
the males and more numerous. and an
eel 16 inches long Is invariably a fe-
male. The males very rarely ascend
streams beyond the tide reach and are
thus deserted by the female members
of the family. Nobody knows why
this is, either.
when spawning time comes the
ee,s come down the streams always
by night, even moonlight being SUM-
cient to delay them, and they go far
out to sea and deep down In 1t. There
they spawn and are seen no more, no
record being known Of any fisherman
ever having seen a spent eel The
principal spawning ground Is supposed
to be somewhere in the neighborhood
of the Sargasso Sea, as eeis are very
sensitive to cold, and usuallp hibernate
in mud banks In winter, piling up In
a heap to keep as warm as possible.
"The cells food value is great and In
some countries 1t is staple. The Eng
lish consume millions, but the Scotch
would quite as soon eat snakes. So In
the ancient times, while the Romans
consumed large quantities. the Egyp-
tians would not touch them. A great
many of our people have this same
aversion to-the eel, though great
many others are fond Of 1t.
Denmark Is one Of the greatest eel
growing countries, producing far
more than all of the United States.
Fresh water cells are small, but the
marine variety, the couger, grows Dig
and sometimes will reach ten feet In
length and weigh 100 pounds. Eels
have been known to attain the age OF
30 years, but they are not female eels'

Carroll l. Riker declares to a critical
world that his spillway plan for con-
trolling the Mississippi floods Will ac-
complish a lot more than one sum-
cientlys difficult and colossal end. No
body else, in spite Of spending many
more millions Of public money than
the Brooklyn engineer asks for, has
succeeded in even half way doing even
that. as yet, but Mr.. Riker insists that
the abolition Of magnifcently disas-
trous floods will be only the beginning
of the national benefits he expects TO
bestow.
He SAYS that after the food waters
have been diverted to his ten-miie
broad spillway running in a straight
line from Cairo to the Gulf OF Mexico
then at last, and for the first time
there will be an opportunity to buiid
docks along the river at any desirable
points-docks that will not be washed
away by ffty-foot rises every year, as
have those hitherto constructed. What
he coolly proposes, therefore, is notn-
ing less than to canalize the Missis-
sippi for that long stretch. to keep us
level within three feet of fixed line.
and to make It practicable for steam
ers as large as the Mauretania to as
cend the river as far as Cairo. Five
locks properly placed will do 1t, and
there will be developed 5000, 900 horse
