sued recently by the National Associa'
ton for the Study and Prevention OF
tuberculosis. In an extended study
of the subject the association has not
been able to find single instance
where o tuberculosis sanatorium has
had an injurious effect on the health
of anyone living near it, nor where 1t
has had any lasting effect upon prop
erty values.
The pamphlet, entitled, THE Eject
Of tuberculosis Institutions on the
Value and Desirability of Surrounding

made on the subject, takes up court
decisions bearing on the question and
contributes besides some original in
vestigations of typical hospitals and the
opinions of prominent men, life insur
hnce companies and others. Nearly
one hundred and fifty different institu.
tions are studied. In all these institu'
tions not one case could be found
where the assertions of opponents to
their location. that a tuberculosis san
atorium would spread disease and in
jure property, could be substantiated.
In fact, q number of instances were
found where the presence of the san.
atorium or hospital promoted outdoor
living. tending to lower the death
rate, and increased the market for
produce and labor, thereby benefiting
the community.

Memories Of Old Luxembourg.

Luxembourg, whatever its claims to
the protection OF Great Britain, pos,
sesses one strange association with
England that dates back IL centuries.
il is connected with the cult OF st.
Willibrod, the variously.spelled Saxon
saint who helped to convert the Ger
mans to Chrlstianity-very imperfect
~. as an Oxford don once dryly re-
marked. Every Whit Tuesday the
memory Of our English saint is hon
ored at Luxembourg by q procession
and religious dance which rank among
the most curious survivals OF medieval
pageantry. Luxembourg is also place
which appeals to British naturalists,
for one of the commonest birds in the
public park there is the charming lit
lie black redstart, which is rare
winter visitor TO England.-Daily

Titles and Taxes in Spain.

In Spain titles Of nobility are taxed
in the same way as houses or land.
Moreover, each separate title is taxed,
and for this reason certain members
Of ancient families in which q number
of titles have accumulated drop some
in order to save money. Owing to the
system long prevalent in Spain by
which women Of noble birth transmit
their title not only to their children
but to their husbands-so that q
plebeian marrying duchess becomes q
duke, Spanish titles rarely become
extinct unless the holders deliberately
discard them.

We have noted that most OF our
serious diseases, and also ricketts,, ar
rested development and the like, are
closely identified with anaemia; that
anaemia In turn is closely identified
with the oxygen carrying capacity Of
the blood and that this function de-
ponds on the presence Of a pigment
known as hematin and a protein form
ing very complex substance, haemo-
globin. Haemoglobin, next to proto.
plasm, is unQuestionably the most i'm.
portant organic substance of verte-
brate life, and in conjunction with the
strcma-the spongy, colorless Franc
work Of the corpuscle-with which 1t
Is associated is an active functioning
protein. the main function Of which is
to convey oxygen from the external
organs of respiration to the internal
organs and tissues in general.
Specific respiratory substances are
essential constituents OF all living Or
ganisms, and they are found univer.
sally distributed throughout plant and
animal life. These substances are di.
vided into two groups, the metal
bearing and the metal free, and the
former may contain manganese, cop
per or iron. For the most part they
are colored, so far as is known. The
blood Of worms is yellow, red or bright
green; that Of crustaceans is blue;
that Of mollusks is white; that Of in
sects is a dusky brown, and the blood
OF vertebrates, excepting amphioxus,
is red. In plant life chlorophyl Is pre-
eminently the pigment concerned in
the exchange Of oxygen and carbon
dioxide, while in animal life haemo-
globin occupies an analogous place;
but they are undoubtedly very differ
ent in their manner Of functioning.
In each kingdom the major pigment
may be represented or supplemented
by physiologically allied bodies which
may or may not be closely related
chemically. Chlorophyl in granular
form has been found in large num-
Der OF invertebrates and vertebrates
and hnemoglobin is also distributed
among the invertebrates in a sporadic
and inexplicable way. Haemoglobin
may be present in one small group Of
muscles and absent from all the rest
OF the body. Ray Lancaster states:
Wherever increased facilities for oxi-
dizStion are requisite, haemoglobin
may make its appearance in response;
where such facilities can be dispensed
with or are otherwise supplied, haemo-
globin may cease to be developed"
This explains the phenomena OF the
blood adaptation to different attitudes
and Is subject for thought for the ar
ranGement OF sleeping quarters.

MANAGER CHANCE WAS RIGHT
Showed Good Judgment In Refusing
to Send Pinch Hitter In to Bat
for Frank Schultz.

During tanning bee by some Of
the Louisville players Scotty Ingerton
related a story regarding Schultz, the
heavy hitting outfielder of the Cubs.
1T was in 1911, when l was with
the Boston Nationals said Scotty.
"The Cubs were playing the Doves.
In the early part of the game with
two men on bases Schultz went up to
the plate to bat, regardless of the fact
that Tinker and Evers argued with
Frank Chance that the home run hit
ter should not be allowed to hit.
Chance, however, ignored Joe and
Johnny and allowed Schultz to bat.
The result was that Schultz knocked
an infield fly for the third out, leaving
the two men on the bases. In the
ninth inning, with the Cubs still trail
ing, 1t was Schulte's turn to bat again.
Tinker and Evers again tried to per-
suade Chance to use another man,
saying that the pitcher, a left-hander,
whom I cannot recall just now, was
pitching good ball.
Chance said He hits well enough
for me and l see no need in send
ing any one else to bat" Schultz
sent the ball over the fence, which
gave the Cubs the victory, and after

ABANDON HlT-AND-RUN PLAY
Teams OF Few Years Ago Were More
Adept at Scientific Play Than
They Are Today.

While the hit-and-run play is often
used in baseball, it is really lost art.
Nowadays when the hit-and-run is sue
cessful the batter usually comes
through with clean-cut safe drive
for one or more bases, which, when
the play is pulled off as it should be.
Is next to impossible
Hit-and-run requires scientific bat
ter. His object Is to shove the ball
toward the place from which the in
fielder has moved in order to cover
the bag toward which the runner hss
man or the shortstop. The batter is
supposed to so place the ball that IL
an infielder can reach it at all he has
to cover enough ground to make
double play impossible, and nine
times out of ten, if he manages to
throw the batter out at first. the play
has succeeded in moving up the base
runner
There Is chance for the ball rolling
safe, but the double play is absolutely
eliminated.
But 1t is but seldom that one sees
the hit-and-run play worked in this
way. Nowadays the batter gives the
runner the sign to start, and then he
takes wallop at the ball. Sometimes
three-base hit results, on which the
runner could have scored, even If he
had not started in advance, but more
often high fly goes up, and when
the play Is successful it is because the
batter gets the ball into safe terri
tory.
Conceding that baseball has ad-
vanced in many respects, there is no
doubt that the teams of few years
back were more adept at the hit-and-
run game than they are today.
