Instructions for Giving "First Aid"

tier is that such burna must bo kppt
perfectly clear of infection. The ter
rific heat of the burn has, of course,
sterilized the burned flesh as no other
method possibly could, and if ihe
burned area is infected the patient
is caused greater pain at a later period,
arid in many instances the healing is
delayed for weeks and sometimes for
months. Under no circumstances
should the burned area be washed or
touched with the hands, and unless
sterilized bandages are obtainable, it
is best to send the injured person to
SENDING WIRELESS MESSAGES.
Atmospheric Condition Has Much to
Do with Distance They Can Be Sent.
The effect of atmospheric changes
on transmission in wireless telegraphy
is a subject still unsettled and being
studied. Mr. Marconi found that dur
ing the day on water, 700 miles equaled
1,500 miles at night. He believed that
daylight weakened the medium of
transmission. Aside from this we know
that with good insulation electric trans
mission is at its best. Reason thus,
when air becomes a poor conductor,
energy is dissipated. At 15 pounds
pressure air is almost a perfect dielec
tric. At 35 miles above the earth it
becomes as good a conductor as a mix
ture of three parts of sulphuric acid
and one part water. Indirectly air
movements or wind may assist in mak
ing these conditions.
Capt. Jackson of the United States
army studied the effect of atmospheric
conditions on wireless and found that
in fine weather, when the barometer
showed a lessening air pressure and a
storm coming, the signaling distance
was reduced to one-third that of nor-

placed in a coil that has an alternat
ing current of electricity flowing
through it to remove the magnetism,
explains the Popular Mechanics. A
demagnetizer can be made as shown
In the illustration. Two end pieces for
the coil are made as shown in Fig. 1
from one-quarter-inch wood. These
ends are fastened together, Fig. 2,
with cardboard three inches long glued
to the inside edges of the holes cut in
them. Wind upon the spool thus
formed about two pounds of No. 16
cotton-covered copper wire. As it will
be necessary to place a 16-candlepower
lamp in series with the coil, both the
coil and lamp can be mounted on a
suitable base and connected as shown
in Fig. The current, which must be
110-volt alternating current, is turned
on the lamp and coil and the magnet
ized watch slowly drawn through the
opening in the center of the coil.
The smallest electric motor in the
world was made by a Texas electrician
and watchmaker, who uses it as a
scarfpin and drives it with a tiny
chloride of silver battery.
THE FRIEND WE LIKE.

To you it. n smiling way,
With a "howdy do" that is ringing true,
But never a Word to say
Of the ills he feels, or the aches he

Or the gloom lie is passing through:
Who gives you a smile, and a joke the
while,
And is cheerful, at least, with you.

the doctor without covering thk toucn.
Even freshly laundered handkerchiefs
are dangerous. It is also imperative
that the blebs, which are blisters filled
with watery substance, be not touched
or broken, as their bursting adds to
the pain when the air coines in con
tact with tho raw flesh.
A doctor would much rather have a
burn come to him simply bandaged
with sterilized-gauze than he would to
see the blebs all broken and covered
with an application of old rancid oil
that had lost its power to be of any use.
The majority of electric burns are
called flash burns, and are classified
as wet and dry bums. These burns
are far different from a steam burn
or any other kind, the awful boat
penetrating so deeply and so quickly
that, in many instances the area af
fected is burned to a crisp.
The illustrations are part of those
used by Dr. W. \V. Sanford, M. D.,
assistant chief surgeon of the New
York Central railway, in a recent lec
ture, published in Railroad Men's
Magazine. The three photographs

taken soon after the accident, the sec

mal conditions. He noted that damp,
dusty winds reduced the distance. He
concluded that in both cases the at
mosphere became a better conductor
and so dissipated the energy of the
waves.
Capt. Wildman in Alaska found
damp, stormy weather a difficult time
to send signals. One conclusion which
he makes in his notes is "that there is
some connection between the wind ve
locity and the traveling, or alxmt to
travel, electromagnetic wave."
Seats for Everybody.
The Indiana legislature is taking
steps to insure better seating capacity
in its interurban cars. A bill has re
cently been introduced, which will re
quire those passengers who are not
provided with a seat to pay one-half
fare. In case the passenger offers a
ticket, the conductor must give him a
rebate check, which can be cashed at
any ticket office.

woman's patience more than being

Press.
Electrical Inertia.
A curious experiment with an elec
tric discharge conducted round a right
angled corner is described by Prof.
Francis E. Nipher. The corner was
formed by bending sharply the con
ducting wire. A photographic plate,
inclosed in a harl-rubber holder, was
placed under the wire in such a way
that the discharge would descend
toward it, then turn at a right angle
and pass horizontally above it. It was
found that when a negative discharge
passed down the wire to the angle the
electrical particles kept straight on
their way instead of turning, pene
trated the rubber cover and affected
the inclosed plate. But when the dis
charge was positive no such effect was
produced. The current apparently
turned the right-angled corner without,
so to speak, shooting off at the bend.

Estimates of the standing timber In
the United States range all the way

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.
Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied—the surfaco being
damp or there being too much turpen
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in a general
way, when a surface is in proper con
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ
ing a book of color schemes, specifi
cations for all kinds of painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul
l terations in painting materials, with

The Georgians of Augusta are chuck
ling over a new story about Mr. Taft,
who drove out one afternoon to see a
Georgia planter. The planter's cook,
a very old woman, takes no interest in
public affairs, and she did not recog
nize tlie portly guest.
"What did you think of that gentle
man, Martha?" the planter asked, after
Mr. Taft had driven off.
"Well, sir," old Martha replied, "I
can't say as I saw nothin" pertickler
about him. He looked to me like the
kind of man as would be pretty reg'ler
to his meals."—Louisville Times.

SISTER'S TRICK
But It All Came Out Right.
How a sister played a trick that
brought rosy health to a coffee fiend is
an interesting tale:
"I was a coffee fiend—a trembling,
nervous, physical wreck, yet clinging
to the poison that stole away my
■trength. 1 mocked at Postum and
would have none of it.
"One day my sister substituted a
cup of Postum piping hot for my morn- j
ing cup of aoffee but did not tell me |
what it was. I noticed the richness of
it and remarked that the coffee tasted
fine but my sister did not tell me
I was drinking Postum for fear I might
not take any more.
"She kept the secret and kept giv
ing mo Postum instead of coffee until
I grew stronger, more tireless, got a
better color in my sallow cheeks and
a clearness to my eyes, then she told
me of the health-giving, norve
atrengthening life-saver she had given
me in place of my morning coffee.
From that time I became a disciple of
Postum and no words can do justice
in telling the good this cereal drink
did me. I will not try to tell It, for
only after having used it can one be
convinced of its merits."
Ten days' trial shows Postum's pow- i
er to rebuild what coffee has de- j
stroyed. "There's a Reason."
