Paraffin Better Than Ambrine.
The so-called ambrine, Invented by
Dr. Barthe de Sandfort and used In
France for healing burns and other in-
flammations, 1s almost all paraffin. So
are its several American imitations,
The Journal of the American Medical
Association has been testing them, ad
well as the many different brands of
paraffin, and it finds that the success
of treatment with it depends upon the
kind of paraffin used.
It gives a formula with which any-
one can make a parafiin film similar
in chemical composition, but superior
in physical properties to ambrine. This
is: Paraffin 120-122 F., 97.5; olive oll,
1.5; asphalt, 4 drops. And it says it 1s
exceedingly probable that further exe
perience will show that for most pur-
poses simple paraffin will serve as well
as, if not better than, any of the mix.

Chicken Had Unusual Dressing.
A roasted chicken enabled two pris
oners to escape from the county jail
at New Brunswick, N. J., despite the
inspection of thelr cells every ten
minutes and the armed guards who
surrounded the building. To outward
appearances the fowl, which was sent
to the prison by a brother of the men,
was brown, appetizing and innocent. It
was learned later that, Instead of
bread ‘crumbs and spices, its Interior

made one of his inspections the men
were snoring loudly on thelr cots,
Ten minutes later he found that they
had disappeared by way of the win-

the bars, Btill later the brother who
brought the chicken, and his high pow-
ered automoblie, were also found to
be gone,

Smoke Cigars by Electricity.
In tobacco factories and also in many
show-window displays it is found de-
sirable to have an electromechanical
device which will smoke cigars in a
similar fashion to that followed by
mankind in general, says the Electrical
Expertmenter. A flexible cord plugged
into the nearest glectrie-light socket
supplies the miniature motor with
power to drive a multiple-vane blower,
his blower creates a back draft, and
thus the perfectos of doubtful vintage
may be smoked rapidly and naturally,
The resulting length and character of
the ash are noted by tobacco experts,
