Mathewson's great speciality is finding

more important, what he does not like.
OF course accidents happen, but there
is rule which can be followed with
great deal of safety. Most batters have
a fondness for a certain kind of ball
One man will hit a speedy ball and fall
\ down vigorously on a slow one which

fellow may pray for a slow ball and hit

temperament. A nervous man worries
over Slow ball. He has too much time

No two hitters are exactly alike and it
is part of top-notch pitchers business
to study the hitter and play to his blind

Mathewson excels in this and whenever

DEATH OF FOOD GERMS
The Wonderful Violet Ray May Save Millions of People II
Worlds Health Crusade

To sterilize meat, fish and every other
exist, and to destroy these germs by
simply passing the food under a ray of
light, is the plan of Prof. E. P. Gorham
of Brown university.
Already Professor Gorham has achieved
this amazing result hundreds of times in
his laboratory at Providence, IL. l., and
now he is striving for the best method to
apply it to commercial use so that his
electric light treatment may be a safe
guard to every human kind in every city
in the United States where heretofore
only the unremitting labors of health
board officers and the expenditure of mil
lions of dollars have succeeded in keeping
down those deadly epidemics which are
spread by germs contained in food.
Although Professor Gorham has con-
Quoted his experiments with much very
necessary secrecy, rumors of what he is
doing have already reached the scientific
world To the query of Sunday Post
reporter he replied that within 10 days he

methods of applying it. He indicated,
however, enough of the manner of his
experiments to make 1t also plain that

ant protection to health yet insured by
any. of the penetrating rays, not except
ing the more familiar x-ray with Its aid
to surgical examinations.
What this means to humanity can
scarcely be overestimated, although Pro-
fessor Gorham, with the characteristic
caution of the true scientist, is averse to
speaking of the possibilities that are
opened by his discovery. The fact re-
mains, however, now that he has estab-
lished the fact that milk and meat and
other germ infested foods can be freed by
exposure to the mysterious ultra violet
ray that the simplest, quickest and safest
form of sterilization has been found.
With stations equipped with the cleo
trio power to produce the rays in the
now famous Crookes tubes all food prod
ucts entering Boston could be passed
under the cleansing light on their way
from the cars and steamship to the mid
dlemen and the consumers, The expen-
sve inspection now absolutely necessary
would be no longer needed, since ex-

opinion that the ultraviolet rays do not
produce such changes. At any rate, it
does not produce changes to such an ex-
tent as has been determined in the pas
teurized milk. Therefore it appears that
milk sterlized by the rays would be less
likely to be open to these criticisms than
would pasteurized milk. However, this is
purely speculation, and the fact remains
that the effect of the ultraviolet rays
on micro-organsms is we'll known.
Indeed, / have only recently received
pamphlets from a firm of Partisan man
ufacturers, who are putting on the mar
ket an apparatus to sterilize water by
means of the rays, and they assert that
their equipment can sterilize more than
1870 gallons of water an hour. This ap-
paratus requires a quartz receptacle for
the water, since glass seriously impedes
the rays. But In applying the ray treat
ment to milk, much difficulty has been
experienced on account of its opaqueness.
| have tried to minimize this by putting
the milk flow over the ultraviolet tube
In a thin stream and have thus, to a GER
tain extent increased the rapidity with
which the milk may be treated.
For exposing milk to the rays in a
commercial use of the ray sterilization

much milk Is now transported for city
new receptacle of pasteboard and paraf-
fine that has been adopted in some cities
and is being advocated by boards of
health in others, puts an end to this
problem, SINCE the rays can penetrate the
pasteboard readily. Still l have not con-
sidered treating milk in receptacles SO
much as l have sterilizing it by passing
it directly over a tube emitting the rays
and then turning the steriized milk into
sterilized receptacles that are to be
sealed at once.
las for meat and fish," replied Pro-
lessor Gorhani, in response to q question
I'VE have not as yet met with so much
success. To be sure, slice of meat of the
ordinary thickness of steak or chop can
be sterilized quickly by the rays, but We
are trying now to find some way of using
rays in combination that can penetrate
effectually side of mutton or a quarter
of beef and render it sterilzed.

board of health and of the state sani-
tarium of Rhode Island, Professor Cor

do away with the need of all meat inspec-
ton, and that therefore any sort of ami

consumption after 1t had been passed I'M

But, while the effects of the ultra violet
ray are not known to science. and while
Professor Gorham has proved that these
effects can be turned to the greatest good
of humanity, the real nature of the ray
Is still as much of mystery as is cleo
tricity itself.
The most familiar of the ultra violet
rays is, of course the X-ray, but the
generic term for all these is the ultra
violet rays. These may be described
roughly as a radiation proceeding from
the interior of glass bulb, the inner at
mosphere of which has been reduced to
very nearly the unattainable perfect vac
uum, and through which discharge of
electricity is made. This bulb is the

William Crookes, the great English in

through the tube produces pale greenish

sor Gorham, when asked as to his work

TT has long been known that the rays
have the same effect on bacteria as has
heat in the process of pasteurization-
Whether the rays cause any such changes
in the chemical properties of milk, for
instance, as are caused by pasteurization
has not yet been positively determined.
Objections to pasteurized milk have been
