ELMER FLICK MAY
PLAY WITH ATHLETICS.

There is a possibility that Elmer Flick
will be seen In one of those novel uni
forms that Connie Mack intends to spring
on the Philadelphia public next spring.
Ever since Flick was lost to the Athletics
through the decision of the courts in the
famous Lajoie-Bernhardt-Flick case.
Elmer has been anxious to return to this
city, Flick will probably be let out by
Cleveland, and there was a rumor that he
was to be turned over to Washington.
But this does not seem likely. as there has
not been a very friendly feeling between
the Washington and Cleveland clubs since
the last trip of the Nationals through the
West. II Cleveland allows Flick to go
the chances are that he will be turned
over to Mack to help strengthen the
Athletics.
Flick was in poor health last season and
was forced to give up before the race was

this Illness and wants to get away from

favorlte here. and his addition to the

PURE AIR FOR SLEEPERS.
Fumigation as Used to Destroy Germs
of Disease.

In an article on the disinfectiOn of
sleeping apartments, Professor koe-
mig, of Goettingen, says that at one
time, while he was practicing medi-
cine at Hanan, he suddenly discov-
cred that his bedroom was thickly
inhabited by bugs. A friend assured
him that he could easily get rid Of
the pests, and proceeded to fumigate
the apartments with corrosive subli-
mate.
The success Of the operation was
gratifying, and when the room was
opened the dead bodies of various
kinds of insects were seen strewn
about the floor. This incident led
the writer to hope that the same
means would be effectual in Destroy
ing the infectious elements of contag-
ious dieases, and a trial in private
houses after scarlet fever or measles,
and in hospitals after erysipelas gave
most satisfactory results.
Since adopting this method he has
never seen a second case Of conta-

uted to infection remaining in the
room in which the patient had been
confined. The mode of procedure Is
very simple. Two ounces of corro-
sive sublimate are put on a plate
over a chatting dish, and then the win
dows and doors of the room are
closed. At the expiration of three or
four hours the windows are opened
and the apartment is thoroughly
aired. The person entering the
room should take the precaution to
hold a sponge or a cloth over the
mouth and nose in order not to in
hale the vapor. The following day
the windows are again closed, and
some sulphur is burned in order to
neutralize any of the mercurial fumes
which may linger about the furniture
and other articles. The room Is then
aired again and cleansed, and will
then be ready for occupancy.-Phila-
delphia Record.

Kings rs IinguiStS.

Perhaps the next best linguist to the
King among those sitting upon Euro
pean thrones is the Kaiser, whose
French is extraordinarily pure and
idiomatic and who also speaks excel
lent English although he has never
been able to rid himself of a strong
German accent. But the Emperor
employs a foreign tongue only on
state occasions, when it is a case OF
noblesse obligc, and even while fully
aware of the Cars dislike to most
things German, including the Ian
guage, he speechifies to Nicholas lis
polite French toasts in sonorous, gut
tural German. The kings of Spain
and Italy are also good linguists, and
among the queens and princesses OF
Europe the talent for languages is
quite extraordinary and adds greatly
to the grace and charm of modern

wearing hats of the sizes six and

Between nineteen and twenty inches
