AIaska's Greatest Treasure.

OF all the treasures in Alaska, the
seals are probably among the most
valuable. Unlike mineral wealth, they
need never run out, for, in conse-
ouence of their powers Of reproduc-
ton. they can yield under reasonable
control a large and continuous revenue
for an indefinite future.

State OFFICE To Move.

The Department Of Education Of Mary
land. created in 1900. is coming to Balti-
more for good and sufficient reasons. IL
has occupied the ancient Treasury Building
on State House Hill, Annapolis-in which
the State Government was housed in 1894.
The -.uallness Of this building made il
impracticable for further occupancy by the
expanding Department Of Education.
The Legislature of 1904 designated An
napolis for the location Of the Office OF the
State Board Of Education at the susees-
ton Of Governor Warfeld. but the act OF
1915 leaves the locating Of offices to the
State Board
At a meeting Of the Board in November
il was decided to move the Offices from
Annapolis to Baltimore. Governor Har-
nngton, DR.. Thomas II. Lewis and State
Superintendent NJ. Bates Stephens accepted
the offer Of the Alliance Of Charitable and
Social Agencies to occupy the fourth floor
of Mccoy Hall Of the Johns Hopkins Uni

A Great Discovery.

DR.. Barthe de Sandfort. of Paris, must
be hereafter counted among the noble
benefactors of mankind. He has discov-
cred treatment for burns that not only
relieves at once the excruciating pain but
makes it possible for nature to renew the
apparently lost activity Of the injured
cellules so that new skin is rapidly formed.
We have had pictures sent us Of French
soldier so horribly burned that he was totally
unacceptable face and hands deeply
disfigured, Two weeks after treatment
the photograph shows an improvement
that seems little less than miraculous.
Five weeks after treatment the man shows
scarcely trace of the dreadful injuries
produced by the fire.
This remedy is known as "Ambrine." Il
is a substance composed Of resin and para
fin. M. Justin Godart, minister in charge
of the French wounded. has established
DR.. Barthe de Sandfort at the ST. Nicholas
Hospital, where now there are 500 beds
for burned and scalded patients. What
this discovery will mean for the future to
those suffering from burns caused by fire
and steam one cannot estimate. We I'M
derstand II has already been brought to
this country. 1t should be within reach Of
all physicieus and surgeons at the earliest
possible moment.
The Angel Animal Hospital will seek
the first opportunity to secure il for use
with such animals suffering from burns as
II frequently has to treat. Horses. rescued
from fires, and badly burned. are often
among the patients brought to it. We trust
the widest publicity will be given to this
great discovery.-0ur Dumb Animal. Bos-
