BURNT SUGAR A DIsINFEcTANT.

The burning Of sugar as a disin-
fectant in sickroon1s is a practice fol-
lowed in many parts Of Europe and
has usually been viewed by physicians
as an innocent superstition, neither
beneficial nor harmful. Professor
Trilbert of the Pasteur institute at
Paris has recently demonstrated in
experiments which he has been max
ing that the burning of sugar develops
a remarkably powerful antiseptic gas
Five grams of sugar were burned I'M
der glass bell holding ten quarts,
and after the vapor had cooled germs
of typhus, tuberculosis, cholera and
smallpox were placed in open glass
tubes under the bell, and within half
an hour all the microbes were found
dead. The efficacy of burnt sugar as
a purifier of air containing offensive
.odors is we'll known and is probably
due to the antiseptic principle referred
to. This seems to be one instance in
which a popular superstition seems I'M

head. Then the visitors coach woke
up. His glib tongue began a wild
TRADE that was calculated to rattle
the nerve of a stole. The %youngster
in the pitchers box could not steel
his ears against those shrill gibes
and jeers. The first ball he pitched
went wide, and but for a superhuman
effort on the part of the catcher would
have passed.
John Remington looked at the girl.
She was leaning forward, her lips
parted, her eyes shining. AS the
catcher stopped the wild pitch she
gave a sudden gasp.
The batter swung hard at the Sec
ond ball and drove it far over the
centre field. But the fielder vas
awake and pulled it down after q
fierce run.
There was NO denying the fact that
the youngster was weakening, and
the believing coach danced around
in an ecstasy of delight.
The third batter had only to wait
and walk. The fourth batter struck
once imprudently, and then waited
and the bases were full with one out
and the hardest hitter in the team at
the bat.
The young pitcher looked about
him. His glance rested a moment on
the bench. The signal he MAJ have

The ball went high. A groan arose
from the crowd, and the opposing
coach wow-wowed like a wild man.
The pitcher had run forward to
prevent a possible steal. AS he took
the ball from the catcher a clear voice
thrilled his ears.
The girl, the girl from the West,
was calling to him. He looked around
with a quick start.
STEADY. Teddy, steady, steady!"
she chanted.
The youngster suddenly smiled.
"Steady, Teddy, steady, steady"
Those who were nearest caught the
words, and, quick to respond, chanted
them with the girl. The chant spread
and swelled, louder, louder. 1t grew
to a roar.
The irritating shrek of the coach
was drowned in that rhythmical shout
of encouragement.
"Steady, Teddy, steady, ~steady!"
The boy was smiling as he faced
the batter. He waved his hand to the
crowd.
Then he retired the batter with
three consecutive balls.
And the third man went out on a
pop fly that the catcher secured.
The tension was slackened; the boy
had found his nerve again.
AS the fly dropped to the catcher
the chant stopped and a wild roar
arose-a tribute to the triumphant
twicler.
He pulled off his cap in a shame
faced way as he passed to the bench
'-whereat they roared again. The

are made Of steel rods, which are
clamped to the wooden top in a man
ner that permits them to be easily

the legs are held by adjustable braces.
A notable feature of the design used
in this construction is the clear OPEN
ing between the runners, which offers

with a quick look at him, "if 1 de-
vote myself closely to the game and
ask very few qu%estions?"
John said he didn't mind and a
sudden look of relief %overspread his
face.
1t was a good game, a very good
game. If there was anything that it
lacked it was batting. The home
team appeared powerless against the
seasoned pitcher who had so often
held them at his mercy.
And the tall young man whose
hour Of ordeal was at hand acquitted
himself manfully. Try as they would

swered. "But can he last?"
HE must" said the girl. And
somehow, in the excitement, John
failed to notice the emphasis of the
remark, nor its confident ring.
Neither team had scored when the
seventh inning opened. The young
pitcher faced the heavy hitter at the
head of the enemy's batting list. The
batter met the first ball pitched and
drove it over the second baseman's
