high digniEarics are reyered. Upon cere-

would be western innovation, and a
shocking derogation from the dignity of

however, never used for this purpose, be-

The use OF red ink is forbidden to all
but the emperor, who signs official docu-

HIS AMPuTATED ARM.
why the Old Soldier Felt the Buried Menu
Der Giving Him Pain.

why 'no oic soldier Felt the Buried Menu
DER Giving Him Pain.
An old Confederate soldier living at
macon, N. C., and who was SO unfortu-
nate as TO lose his right arm during The
war between the states, always complained
Oh the nngers of the dead and buried hand
giving MN excessive pain. Finally some
one suggested that the arm be dlsinterred
anu an examination made. This was ac-
coralngiy DONE when it was found a stone
weighing several pounds was lying across
the fingers. The stone was removed, the
arm carefully wrapped in straw and again
buried. From that time forward the sol
der made no further complaint Of painful
sensations in the lost arm.
some curious persons who heard the
above story related substantially as it is
here, sent it to Professor Edward C. Spitz-
ka who was at that time professor of anat-
omy and physiology of the nervous system
IN the New York Post Graduate Medical
school, asking if such sensations in dead
and buried limb were possible, and if SO,
why? The reply is reproduced word for
word below:
IL is well established fact that after
limbs have been amputated the person
ieeiS cerlaln sensations at Times which
seem to originate in the parts which have
been removed. The explanation advanced
by the leading Psychologists is that the
nerves are pressed at the end of the stump
and that the pain is referred by the mind,
through habit, to the former termination
OF the sensory lines, the position, cramped
or otherwise, Of the buried parts having
nothing whatever to do with the sensations
conveyed to the brain. y Fancy rath-
er than fact has all to do with these cases
OF imaginary sensations being s9nt to the
brain from the removed parts. If results
such as you mention in the case of the old
soldier could follow because of a stone ~
ing across the dead fingers, striking the
amputated arm with hammer or stone
would naturally have caused a much great
er sensation of pain. st. Louis Republic.

Electric Light as a Disinfectant.


Professor H. M. Wards researches on
the influence Of light on bacteria have
brought out some remarkable facts. Pro-
fessor Ward depohstrates conclusively
that thenaked arc fight may be used in
hospitals or railway cars most effectively
as disinfectant by reason of the effect
of its rays upon bacteria He has allowed
the various rays Of the spectrum to fall on
films of gelatin or sugar containing spores
of bacteria and finds that whether the
spectrum is got from sunlight or electric
light there is. no perceptible action on the
spores of bacteria by the mira red, red,
orange or yellow rays, while all the spores
are injured by the rays of the blue and
violet region. Broadly speaking, the in
furious action begins at the blue and di-
minishes Toward the ultra violet With
the electric Light, quartz lenses and prisms
had to be used in forming the spectrum,
as the results with glass were feeble. This
injurious influence of the blue rays ex-
tended far into the ultra violet. The in
terventim of Il thin piece of glass resulted
In cutting off a large proportion of effect

THE FIELD OF SPORTS
HOW ARE THE MIGHTY FALLEN.
Crippled and Discouraged the Fall
Rivers Were an Easy Prey.

They Batted as Well as We Did But Went
to Pieces in the Field-Daniels Pitched
Well and Brought the First Run With
Two Bagger-Garry's Great Catch.
| When the Fall Rivers went out onto the
| field yesterday it was plain that there had
been great change since they were in their
glory and thatssthes change was not for the
better. Manager McDermott was on first in
place of the mighty Flanagan, who has
been suspended. The other Nc Dermott was
not ON second, and Brady had come in from
centre field. Catcher Rollings was on third
in Harrington's place and he did we'll too
about the only temporary man who did. Tim
Sheehan missed the train and Burke was in
his place. Lincoln was out in centre,.wLere
he is.as much out of place as Hi Ladd would
be in the pitchers box
1t was discouraging for Duke Klobedanz
in the beginning, and when they began to
make their errors it was enough to make
pitcher sick, but the Duke kept right on
playing ball and held our heavy hitters
down in fine shape. Only sonce did they
make a.break when sCasey's and H. Smiths
two baggers gave us our only earned run,
Daniels kept their hits scattered also, only
Ruperts single and Klobedanz's double re-
suited in their only earned run.
But their serrors were fatal, hence our
eight runs. Cur errors were not fatal,
hence their two runs. Except for Burns's
inevitable error, we played perfect game.
But Oliver accepted nine chances in fine
style. There seems to be a fatality about
that one error of his.
James Garry didn't bat as we'll as usual,
but his strike-out was not his fault, but the
umpire's. In the second inning, when mat
tiers were still uncertain, Ladd raped out
tremendous hit. Brady was on second and
there were none out. THE ball sailed be-
tween right and centre and looked as If it
might land on the roof of the house, it was
so high up. How Garry did run; just as he
started down the slope toward The house the
ball began to approach. He got there just
in time, held up his right hand, turned
backward and in that awkward position
captured that huge and dangerous fly. He
was so far away that Brady had plenty of
time to run to third
1t was undoubtedly the finest catch ever
made on the grounds. even better than
Garry's one hard stop of hurting liner a
few weeks ago.
Following is the score:
