r AVS Of sunlight have been fmi-
tated and tested for their effects
on various germs by the Bureau of
Standards, says Popular Mechanics
The beams, produced in small quan-
titles and projected onto colonies Of
microbes, killed some of the germs in
less than second after the light
struck them. The different wave
lengths of the rays were measured
and the numbers of germs killed by
them in a given time figured up for
comparisons in determining the most
effective beams. The germ KILN e

At that moment I saw two lights,
not one. Quicker than l can write,
we were off our horses. grasping our
brides.
Shout! Shoutr A. said to the
boys. Swing your lamps"
With all their might they shouted.
The hurricane lamps swung hither and
thither and for a brief moment the
lights disappeared.
On we stumbled, our hearts-or
mine at least-beating a tattoo. Now
the balls of light were at our side.
Beyond that and the immediate space
around us we could see nothing. Then
A. put his hand into his pocket and
pulled out box of matches.
Strike these" he said. Fling them
from you when well alight."
! did as he said. striking one about
every three minutes. The balls of fire
were now behind us. Never have I
felt so horribly frightened. I went icy
cold, colder than I have ever felt on a
Winters day in England, and 1 shook
so that l could hardly walk. The
horses and mules had got wind of the
beast also and were increasingly diff
cult to hold.
I HAD. given Juliet over to A. when
I started striking the matches, and
now, instead of throwing them for
ward, l had to throw them behind. On
came the eye, steadily stalking u.s.
nearer now. There is nothing that
appeals to lion so much as a mule
(unless it is a Donkey, and we had
four, one lame at that.
Would that night of horror never
end? Should we never get home?
Surely we must be near the stream
now. I had just three more matches.
Oh. why had the mules been, so mul-
ish? One match went. The eyes
were gaining on US. Then the cry of
the hyena rent the air-one, two,
three. four, in ever so many different
keys.
If Juliet were only safe! My second
match flared for a moment, spun
through the air and went out.
''Only one more?' I breathed. How
near the eyes were! And, oh. how
cold I was! If only one could see, the
horror would not be so great-and to
after US, getting nearer and nearer, to
know that any moment the rush
might come. And then!
The stream at last How thankful
was! How more than thankful! My
last match fiared and then died out
like the rest, but the rest had others
to follow them; this was the last.
Some Of the boys ran along the banks,
searching for the crossing. Three
lamps went with them. Up and down
the banks they went. We could see
their lights like will-o -the-wisps
through the trees. The eye were sta
tionary now, like ourselves. The boys
redoubled their shouts. One of the
four lamps, which had been giving a
barely perceptible light until now,

merest fiickers. A. pulled Juliet
nearer to me and took my hand.

And then, Poor little woman.
"Will they never find the crossing?
I said.
Almost simultaneously came back
an answering shout, and boy with q

almost gone"

raker who breaches the doctrine of
unity between capital and labor. Green
