A Bridgeport druggist has discOv-
cred compound which, when applied
to baseball, render that object lum-
inous Unc Of the drawbacks of play
ing baseball at night under the cleo
| lrc light Is the inability to see the
| ball when thrown or Datted into the
lir with the black night background
Of sky behind it. BY saturating it with
.hc new compound the ball while in

monotonous fine weather for n true
New Englandor. lie wants dash of
thunder and lightning, frosty morn
ings, or eastern storms occasionally to
keen up his spllits.
