sunar as a nisinfsetant.

In many parts of Europe it is Gus
tomary to burn sugar in sick rooms, a
practice which is considered by physi-
clans as an innocent superstition, nei-
Their beneficial nor harmful.
Professor Trilbert Of the Pasteur in
stitute at Paris has, however, demon
strated recently that burning sugar
develops formic acetylene-hydrogen,
one of the most powerful antiseptic
gases known Five grams of sugar
GIG grains) were burned under q
glass bell holding ten quarts. After
the vapor had cooled bacilli of typhus,
tuberculosis, cholera smallpox, etc,
were placed in the bell in open glass
tubes. and within half an hour all the
microbes were dead.
If sugar is burned in closed vessel
containing purified meat or the con-
tents of rotten eggs the offensive odor
disappears at once. The popular faith
IN the disinfecting qualities of burnt
sugar appears. therefore, as well found

A Rotary Rudder.

There is on view at the Lepine t
exhibition in Paris the invention Of
French engineer which will, its
ventor contends, revolutionize mari,
and aerial navigation. The invent
consists of a rotary rudder, said To
capable of turning a vessel in its o.
length or at any desired angle. All
listing steering contrivances are limi
in their action to a detection of
degrees to right or left. 1t is claim
that by the adoption Of the new
yention sea collision will be prever
ed and warships will be able to tul
In their own length. An aeroplan
fitted with the new rudder would
able to leave the ground instantly.

A Zulu Breakfast.

Dinuzulu, the Zulu chief, has burst
a blood vessel, says a telegram from
Martzburg and it is said to be only a
wonder that his father did not do the
same when he was enjoying British
hospitality in London after his capture.
He and his sable suit were housed in
one of the artistic mansions of Mel
bury avenue, near Holland House, and
his favorite breakfast was basin of
oatmeal porridge and a pint Of whis-
ky, which he preferred to milk. 9th
erwise he was fairly quick in his as
similation Of the manners and Gus
toms Of civilization.

A Destructive Ant.

The Argentine ant, which has work
ed great devastation among the sugar
plantation of Louisiana, has made its
appearance on the Pacific coast, and
active steps are being taken to exter
inmate it. This insect is so pugnacious
that 1t quickly drives out the native
ant, which has some considerable eco
nomic value and which is not replaced
by the intruder from Argentina. The
latter Is not only destructive in itself,
but 1t protects scale growth and plant
lice. The Argentine ant is regarded as
one Of the most injurious pests which
were ever brought into the United
States.

Don't mark your stationery any

and has all the value of Bertill0n

who have introduced this way of
marking use the prints in the center

half an inch from the top to make
them most effective. The thumb is
sometimes printed in red or blue, al

NOVELTY IN HEADLIGHTS.


A new headlight is being tried In
Germany which possesses marked
advantage over those now in use. At
present a train that is hidden by q
curve at night some distance from an
other train approaching 1t is a decided
menace on single track. When slow
train is going in the same direction as
speedy one that is following 1t, any
turn In the road makes collision very
possible.
The new headlight meets this dill
Guilty very easily. 1t gets its motive
power from small dynamo attached
to a steam turbine fed by the boiler Of
the locomotive. The headlight is very
much like those used in marine work,
differing, however, at one important
point. Its glass surface in front has
mirror so arranged that the light is di-
vided, one portion being projected up
ward. Part of the light of the lamp,
therefore, falls upon the track, the 9TH
err being directed into the air. No mat
Ter, therefore, how the body OF the To-
connective is concealed, the beam pass
ing upward serves as a signal and is
visible for great distance on any dark

Sportsman Shot All His License Would
Permit In First Hour.

Permit In First Hour.
w Redmond Cross Of New York has
received feliSitatlons on the result OF
a remarkable shooting trip IN Canada
from which he recently returned. Mr.
Gross went to the Canadian woods pre-.
pared to stay three weeks at least. lie
got his hunters license, under which
he was empowered to kill one moose.
He thought he would spend at least
three weeks looking for that moose,
ana he had guide and an elaborate
camping outfit with which to ease the
rough camp life.
The first morning in camp be arose
at 8 O'Clock, and before o'clock of the
same morning he had shot and killed
the largest moose killed in that section
of Canada In many moons. The ami
NAL measured Eve feet three inches
from tip to tip of the antlers.
Sorrowfully Mr.. Cross turned his
steps back to New York. having killed
the only moose he had legal right to
kill and having a great deal of hunt
:ns time left or his hands. &c now
intends to go south to shoot quail, and
he said that he would rather not have
all his good luck come during the first
hour.
