1T PREVENTS FITTING.
Red Light Is Good Thing in the Urea
%

Red Light Is a Good Thing in the Treat
ment of Smallpox.
1t is well known that red light pos
sesses some peculiar property which
annuls the chemical effect produced
by other hues composing the solar
spectrum. A red light is used in photo
graphic dark rooms because its rays
do not affect the sensitive plate in the
process of developing. Some time ago
it was suggested that the pits which
appear on the face after a severe attack
of smallpox might be due to the action
of the sunlight. With view TO testing
this theory the windows of the rooms
in which the patients were confined
were shaded by orange-colored cur
tains.
The results were not very satisfac-
tory, possibly because the experiment
was bunglingly done. The idea was
not given up, however, and lately some
tests have been made with red light,
which has greater power than orange
light to exclude the suns rays. The
light was tried on several unvaccinated
children suffering from smallpox in a
German hospital, and the disease i'm
mediately took favorable turn. AL
though the pits appeared, they did not
break, and finally disappeared, leaving
the skin perfectly smooth. There was
no secondary fever.
According to DR.. Feilberg, who con-
Quoted this test, the essential point
for the success of this treatment is
that it should be begun during the
early stages of the disease, shortly
after the pits, or vesicles, have APP
peared. If the seventh day has been
reached it Is hardly possible to pre-
vent the pits from breaking, and hence
becoming permanent. Another impor-
tant point is that the exclusion of the
chemical rays of daylight must be COM
plete and continued until the vesicles
have quite dried up.-N. Y. World.

BASEBALL BREVITIES.

Until May Is games will be called at
4:15 p. m, and after that time 1t will be
o'clock.
Daily arrivals can be looked for after
tomorrow morning. All the boys are
coming southwark in hurry.
The old Judges stand will hereafter be
used as the score and press box. The big
bell in 1t Is to be used for sending the
players to their positions.
Denlson's uniform will consist of ma
room pants and shirts, black stockings,
maroon caps with two black stripes and
black belts and white sweaters.
The Sporting News remarks that Jim
Nolan believes that San Antonio has the
best team in the league" He Is not lone
some in holding that opinion, either.
Grand stand prices at Riverside park
will be Is cents straight for everybody.
The same price will be charged at the
gate to children under l2 years Of age.
Judging from the photos received from
most of the players we'll be strictly in

Charley Krehmeyer, old Red Cloud, ~
writes here that he is through with play

endorsement for place on the staff OF

In another week Manager Brophey will
have all the show windows and vacant
advertising space in town covered by
handsome colored Autographs, an
nouncing the opening games.
Dallas has added several more new men
to its already large list, making some
thing near % men already under contract.
McNealus must like to burn up his money
for the benefit OF the railroad people.
Positive information has been received
that neither Pittsburg or Cleveland will
be through this circuit this spring. Om-
inouS silence on the part OF Manager Ew-
ing makes the chances Of getting Cincin-
natl over here slim, also.
An unconsciously humorous writer OF
Austin calls Mike Lawrence and Lee
DawkinS youngsters. They both must
have been born in leap years, TO. figure
that way. III they are young bloodS, then
most of the team must be made up OF
pulling infants.
Manager Brophey'S contract with St.
Louis expressly stipulates that the stars
Of the team-BreitensteiD, Murphy, Par
rot. Conner, Quinn, Dowd, Latham,
Cooley. Cross and others-are to appear In
the two games here. Chicago's contract
also contains that clause.
1t Is understood that the northern
clubs of this league will make the initial
long trip away from home first. With the
exception OF the Six-day trips to the sea
coast, that will give San Antonio twenty
one games at home for starter. That
ought to give Brophey's crowd a chance
to go away with good lead.

BIRD WITH A HORN.
This archaeological Curiosity Can Be
Found Only I'm Africa.

This archaeological Curiosity Can Be
Found Only I'm Africa.
The rarest species of bird now eXtant,
and one which is almost extinct, has its
home in the jungles of South America.
This pathological curiosity is known
to science as the Palamedra Cornuda,
and to the common people as tho
horned screamer." AS q rara avis
nothing could excel the cornuda, unless
it would be the accidental discovery Of
a living moa, or an epinornis. But few
of the bird books even let you know
that such horned paradox ever existed,
let alone telling you that living speci-
mems of the queer creature are still oc-
casionally met with. The only one now
in captivity in North America, if the
writer has not been misinformed, is that
belonging to the aviary of the Philadel-
phia geological gardens, and which ar
rived in this country about three years
ago. The creature is about the size of
full-grown turkey hen, and of a
blacklist brown color. One of its dis
tinguishing peculiarities is a ruttie of
black and white which surround the
head. The horny appendage which
caused the early South American explor-
ers to write 50 many chapters on the
Wonderful rhinoceros bird of the
Jungle" is about four inches in length,
and grows straight up out of the heav-
lest and broadcast portion of the head.
But the above Is not the only natural Of
fensive and defensive weapon with
which the horned screamer has been
provided. On each wing, at the elbow"
joint, he has three-inch spur, and just
back of that another an inch in length.
He Is said to be a match for any ten
game cocks.-St. Louis Republic.

ALAMO REPAIRS.
THE FAMOUS OLD BUILDING WON'T
KNOW ITSELF.
Will at Last Be Properly Cared For and
Made Presentable-Oouncil Com
mittee Conference.

A conference Of Rev. G. Q. A. Rose with
Mayor Elmendorf and Aldermen Hoefing,
Beckman and Kerble, was held in the
city council chamber yesterday afternoon
to consider what shall be done in repair
ing and improving the Alamo building,
which, though the property OF the state
Of Texas, is under the custody Of the city
of San Antonio, which pays the one jani-
tor or keeper and looks after the build.
ing, after a certain fashion.
Mr.. Rose, by bis Midwinter Fair
gained over 500 which he contributes
toward this laudable object and the city
will furnish the remainder Of the funds
necessary.
The reverend gentleman told the com.
mittee that the roof leaked badly, the
walls we're dirty and needed cleaning
and kalsomining, lot OF old.bunting and
domestic, used in decorating the huild
ing for the flower battle last June, was
lying in q heap Of other rubbish in the
building, a stack OF election booths also
numbered part of the floor and was I'M
slightly. while outside, in the front,
through one window stuck grimy stove
pipe and the walls showed black with the
smoke from the same. Then the sub
station for the police and the adjoining
stable for their horses was also unsightly
and should be removed.
There were no other citizens present,
except two reporters, and as the aldermen
agreed in every respect with the idea Of
immediate repairs and Improvements
suggested, the committee at length agreed
to make a report TO the city council rec
ommending the mayor to take immediate
steps to abolish the police station and
tear away that portion Of the building,
which is Of recent years erection, and to
have the old shingle and tin roof re-
moved, the roof rafters examined and
strengthened and a new tin roof put on.
Also to communicate with the state de-
patment with view TO urging the state
to purchase some few feet of ground on
the north side Of the Alamo from the
Hugo Schneider company, TO have the
building stand apart from the adjoining
property.
The other improvements mentioned
were a. 40 agreed on, and it was also the
sense of the committee that the present
traffic in souvenirs in the Alamo build.
ing and outside, before its doors, shall be
stopped altogether. If the sale of Souve-
Mrs, albums. etc, in the Alamo is stopped,
the outside statesmen will have no cause
for objection or the cry Of discrimiDa-
tion.
A set OF rules for the government OF
the ianitor and OF visitors will also be
drafted by the council committee

NnM Cnrn for Ohesitr.

A new treatment of obesity is pro
posed, based on a new theory. One
pound of lean meat and one pound OF
fish per day is used with a pint of hot
water every two hours. Nothing else
in the way of food or drink is allowed,
The theory is that the food being pure
" heterogeneous the needful hydrocar-
bon must be supplied by the absorption
of fat. The large quantities of hot
water are for the purpose of averting
kidney disturbances, which often at
tack those who live largely on nitro
genous food. There can be no doubt
about this remedy. 1t will make any
thick man thin if he can survive the
drinking of IL pints of hot water in a
day

SEWER TALK.

The sewer situation is serious; it is 4
fact that the sewer contractors have
quit.
What this all means the newspapers
have been unable to fathOm; whether it
is a temporary or permanent abandon
ment of the contract.
No public improvement would rebound
so much TO our city'S credit as a perfect
system OF sewers. But II the contract is
abandoned, where are we at?
The credit Of the city administration is
at stake. II the sewers are abandoned
what becomes Of all our boosted reform?
We must begin over again, the work
cannot be abandoned. Is the present city
administration equal to that emergency?

When Total Eclipses Are Rare.

1t is fact well known to astronomers
that the average number of total and
partial eclipses in any one year is four;
that the maximum is seven and the
minimum two. Where only two occur
they are always both of the sun. There
are a great many more eclipses of the
sun in the course of year or a hun
dred years than there are of the moon;
this fact Notwithstanding, however,
London, the metropolis of the world,
seems to be a place where such obStruc-
tions of the suns light seldom occur.
