A HUMAN ROCKET.
Rodman Law, an American, was recently shot into the air from a rocket, such as is used at fireworks' displays, to oblige a moving-picture firm. The charge of gun-powder which was to propel him into space, however, exploded prematurely, with the result that he was projected a few yards only into the air, and his arms were injured and his hair burnt. We strongly recommend when he makes the next attempt that he should first purchase a tin of Red Cross Ointment, a specific that speedily relieves and heals all cuts, abrasions, wounds, and scalds. All chemists and stores, 1/6 a tin.
