TEENER AND ROSS.
The Race at the Point of Pines Won
by Teemer by Half a Length.

BosToN, Sept 20.
About 5000 people were at the Point of
Pines to witness the sculling contest between
Wallace Ross and John Teemer. postponed
from Saturday. The stakes were for purse
of $1,000 over five mile course with stretches
of ! mile long, making four turn. Ross
was given q start of five seconds. The bet.
ting was so to 20 in favor of Teemer and
slow selling at that. The water was excel
lent and the weather fine. Charles H.
Thayer was chosen referee and L. B. Ran
kin starter. The men were in line as 5.22
and four seconds later the word was given to
Ross and five seconds later to Teemer. Ross
was full three lengths ahead when Teemer
dipped the blades and was doing 80 strokes
to the minute, which was exactly the stroke
set by Teemer, but the latter was getting more
speed out of his shell. In 20 strokes he had
lessened Ross lead by half length. Ross
steered beautifully, but Teemer went out OF
the course, losing nearly 20 lengths by being
swept toward the Lynn harbor BY the incom-
ing tide. Ross lost some from the same
cause. Teemer continual to gain and when
the first stake was rounded Ross was not
more than three lengths ahead. At the next
turn Ross was length and half and rowing
hard while Teemer seemed to be laboring
under difficulties. The latter held to his
competitor and responded gamely to every
squirt made by Ross and it was Teemer's
staying qualities that gave him the race
When the three quarters stake was rounded
Ross was leading by half length. Here
both squared away for home and Teemer
settled down for hard struggle. 1t was q
splendid race to the finish. Ross spurted and
increased the lead to two lengths which
Teemer soon overcame. hundred yards
from the finish the boats were bow and bow
and both men made a tremendous effort to
win. Teemer seemed to have enomous
power left for he went ahead with burst of
speed that actually carried his boat over the
line from three to six feet ahead. The Of
fetal time was 35 minutes. 1t is regarded as
one of the finest contests ever seen here and
a great victory for Pittsburg's boy wonder.

Plants as Air Purifiers.

DIR. Anders has just concluded some
valuable experiments with house plants.
He inclosed a dozen potted towering
plants in an air-tight glass case, and
placed th EN- In the bay-window of sit
ting-room facing the east. Ozone test
papers were hung in the case before it
was closed. Observations were made
for four hours daily during eighteen
days, with results showing the presence
of ozone in the air of the case. A sec
ond series of tests was made with odor-
GUS Towering transformations, hello
trppes, etc.-with stronger indications
of ozone. A third series included so
liage plants"-ferns. dracenas, ETC.
with less positive results. Further ex-
periments with plants in flower were
made with the case in the outdoor air.
In these 1t was found that negative re-
suits came on rainy days, thus indicat-
ing that bright sunshine is needed to
develop ozone. The experiments showed
that the floral organs are specially dele
gated to the important function of de-
veloping ozone. This peculiarly active
form of oxygen is produced during the
formation of the seed, in connection
with the phosphorus compounds there
accumulated. Flowers of various kinds
have been known to exhibit phosphor-
escent light in warm evenings. Ozone
Is a most wholesome element in the at
mosphere, keeping or tending to keep it
from becoming polluted with disease
germs. 1t oxidizes, or burns up, Hox-
ious accumulations. Plants in flower
are therefore to be placed in the front
rank as hygienic agents. Ozone is of
special value in living rooms, when the
air, according to the best authorities,
is usually foul. A bay window, filled
with Towering plants, will doubtless
furnish ozone enough to have a decid-
eddy healthful effect upon the air of the
room. 1t is gratifying to have further
proof that the old time,preiudlce against
house-plants is ill-founded; instead of
communicating the air of the room and
endangering the health of the inmates
they render it purer.
