CONCENTRATED LIGHT RAYS.
Experimenting in the Treatment M,
Skin nIscnSR

United States Minister Swanson. at CO.
penhagen, has communicated to the Stata
department report on some remarkable
experiments made in that city by the cele-
DRAFTED physician, DIR. Ffnsen. in the treat
nlent or skin diseases by means of concea-
tated light rays. Over 40 cases Of lupus
Nugaris have already been successfully
treated, experiments are being made in the
treatment of erysipelas and many other
diseases OF the cuticle, and the doctor is
about to undertake the treatment Of scar
let fever with promise of success He. has
already had remarkable success in the
treatment of smallpox by red light The
experiments are being conducted under
state auspices, the Danish government Civ
ing direct pecuniary aid, and recognition
being extended by the professors OF the
Copenhagen University and the superin-
tendents of the leading hospitals
Because of the weakness of the sunlight
in Denmark, DIR. Finsen uses in his treat
n;ent 40,0O0-candle-power electric light
Failure in previous experiments resulted
from the use of lights not sufficiently
powerful
In addition to these experiments. Tsr
Ffnsen is now experimenting photo-chemi-
cally, with the object Of ascertafning how
far light is instrumental in supplying the
skin with blood. Up TO this point he has
ascertained that the red color of the ex-
posed parts OF the skin is caused principally
by light; that heat seems to diminish and
cold increase 1t.

the local wheeling clubs and unattached
riders who met them at Beltsville and
stayed with them to the finish
Within the city limits both of Baltimore
and Washington the pace on account of the
police regulation was necessarily slower
than the riders would have liked. Never
theless the riders made the distance from
the boundary at 18th and H streets at a
lively rate, ending with exciting spin
through the Capitol grounds.
All along the line Of Beltsville to this
city the riders were met by members of
different local cycling associations, who
gave them all assistance possible and aided
them in every way to clip seconds off the
record they were making. Among the
wheelmen who met them on the road were
r. S. Doyle. Louis Anderson. John c. Shee-
ley, James Henderson, William Hasslet
and Joseph Henderson of the Century Cy-
Gle Club: William Werner, W. A. Baden
A. B. Griffith. William Louis. Ray Cogs-
we'll and Harry Park of the Columbian
Wheelmen, and Louis Litz of the Highland
Wheelnen.
The timers at Baltimore were John Latch
ford, E. B. Causey and John Riley, who
started the riders on their long journey.

Prof. Fessenden Has Devised New
Wireless Telegraph.

A dispatch from Pittsburg Pa, says:
Bold researches by Prof. Reginald A. Fes-
sender and his assistant. Prof. Knitner, in
the electrical laboratory of the Western
University of Pennsylvania. have resulted
in the production of a receiver for wireless
telegraphy that is 1000 times more sensi-
tive than the so-called ''coherer'' of the
Marconi system.
In speaking of the discovery Prof. Fes-
sender said:
Although we have improved the receiver
so that it is 2,o00 times as sensitive as the
original one, We realize that We have not
yet begun to see the limit.
"Marconi, in his brilliant experiments,
has demonstrated that messages can be
sent over ninety miles. As our receiver is
several hundred times more sensitive, it
is clear that the messages can be sent by
our method very much farther, though Just
what the limit is l would not like to say.
1t at least should be possible to send mes
sages across the Atlantic, with poles less
than 200 feet high. The ultimate distance
must be checked by actual experiment be-
fore it becomes scientific fact in the strict
est sense"

time of two hours and twenty-nine minutes.
The record for this distance is two hours

the record from the city hall in Baltimore

delay of several minutes was caused

train of fifty-six cars blocking the road
at Gwyn's Falls. and again at Beltsville,

in order that the riders could obtain nour-

The roads were in bad condition, and
much better time could have been made had
they been in better condition. For twelve
miles soutside of Baltimore on the shell
road new oyster shells had been deposited,
and the riders had to exercise great eau

new gravel and metal had been put on to
improve the roadbed, which made riding
very disagreeable.

NATIONAL LEAGUES FUTURE.
Four Undesirable Clubs Place n Price
on Their Franchises and Players.

Four Undesirable Clubs Place n Price
on Their Franchises and Players.
Not long after the National League had
adjourned Saturday afternoon in New
York, subject TO a call from President
Young, there was a meeting of vital i'm
portance. Harry Pulliam, representing
Louisville; j. Earl Wagner of Washington
Frank De Haas Robson of Cleveland, Abel,
Ebbets and Hanlon of Baltimore were gath
cred together at the request of Robson,
who had been appointed committee of one
by the circuit committee.
Here We're the four clubs that must be
withdrawn from the present twelve-club
circuit, and they quickly put their heads
together to find out what they wanted for
their franchises. Without some sort of
proposition from them the circuit commit
tee would be powerless to act So Robson
who must receive credit for being one of
the leading organizers in base ball and
who has given many valuable tips to John
7. Brush, unfolded plan which proved ac-
ceptable and which was placed in the hands
of Chairman Brush.
These four clubs, according to the plan.
can be purchased lock, stock and barrel for
lump sum of S162,500. This includes
leases. franchises and all rights and
privileges under the protection of the ma
tional agreement. This amount must be
paid by the league as a body inside of two
sold most of its star players to Pittsburg
for $4,000, wants S12, 500 for its remaining
property. while Baltimore. Washington and
Cleveland ask $4,000 apiece. This amount
may appear exorbitant to the circuit COM
mittee and may be cut down somewhat. es-
peeiaiiy in. the case Of the Cleveland club.
but with the demand goes suggestion as
to the best method of paying the money
1t Is shown to the circuit committee that
the BAH players turned over to the league
can be sold back to the highest bidders
among the eight big clubs to remain for
about $4,000 in the aggregate For instance
McGraw Of Baltimore would go to the club
that would pay $4,000 or $4,000 for his
services. Each player would have a value
pu. upon bis services. and the league as
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1899-12-18

body would be benefited thereby. Then the
four franchises could be sold over again
to persons who might want to pace those
cities in new eight-cIub organization or
in an Eastern and Western league
1t is estimated that this amount of pur-
chasable property would bring about s5o.0O0.
SO that the league would actually have but
$4,000 to pay out; With two years to set
tie in, each of the eight clubs in the big
circuit would be compelled to pay ony
$500 year. to be taken out of the gate
receipts. in order to reduce the circuit This
proposition was laid before the circuit COM
mittee and will be acted upon in a few
days
A counter proposition cutting down the
amount mentioned lcan be looked for, after
which the committee will receive another
plan for its consideration. Should the de-
mand of the Baltimore Cub for its fran
chise be refused 1t is probable that Abell
Hanlon and the others will stipulate that
McGraw and one or two other members of
the Orioles be turned over to the Brook
Ign club.
This move is the first that has ever been
made to break up the ten years agreement
drawn up at Indianapolis in 1891, and is a
most important turning point in the for
tunes of professional base bal. 1t means
that the circuit will be reduced and that
the matter has been practically settled. ex-
cept as to details. 1t is believed that the
new league will be banded together for
term of twenty-five years. with the stipula-
ton that any club can be expelled on con-
viction of certain charges.
The players of particular value to be
thrown into the league pool are McGraw,
Robinson, McGinnity. Kitson, Nops, Howell,
Lachance. De Montreville. Holmes. Brodie,
Alec Smith and Sheckard, all of Baltimore;
Mercer, Padden, Barry. McGann, Dineen,
Kittridge Slagle. Freeman and O'Brien of
Washington; Kneffer. Quinn, Dowd, Harley,
Hughey and Sugden, of Cleveland; Hoy,
Willis, thinner and others of Louisville.
The New York. Chicago, PHILADELPHIA and
cincinnati cubs are expected to do some
lively bidding in case some such plan as the
above is put into effect. 1t is understood
mat the New YORK club has promised So
den and Brush that considerable money
will be spent to strengthen the team at the
POLO grounds, under Buck Ewing's man.
