Perhaps the quccrcst fad Of modern
times was that which placed the elixir
of life in blue glass. That the color
Of light has certain influences on life.
especially life Of the lower sort az in
plants, is fact. Plant life is I'M
doubtedly affected by the color Of
light, and animal life needs light II
an animal be deprived of light, it VIII
become what is called annmic, but
exactly why no one knows. Reason
ing from the observed effects of blue
light upon some plants, the inventor
Of the fad prescribed baths under
blue glass for all.
You were to strip yourself, re
member, and lie down under the blue
glass for many hours each day. And
the quecrest thing about the whole
business was the fact that some of
the devotees not only declared them
selves benefited by the treatment so
long us they believed in it, but We're
unquestionably SO benefited. / say
so long as they believed in it, for
do not think there are many-if III
fact there be one-who bathes in blue
light now. Cyrus Edison, NJ. d.. in

Detectives Rohan of Chicago and

They went through the train, but
could recognize no dips and so could

The rrimc,aI Atmosphere.

An article by DR.. Phipson in The
Chemical News contains bold suS-
gcstion that at remote periods the at
mosphcrc contained very large
amount of carbonic acid. and, in fact,
consisted principally of that gas, nj
trogcn and vapor Of water. The crust
Of the earth may thus have possibly
cooled and solidificd III an atmosphere
containing l,.rgc proportion OF car
bonic acid. In volcanic regions cnor
NOUS quantities Of this gas arc still
given off, and the hypothesis is large
" supported by the important part
which carbonic acid is known to play
in the formation of many crystals.

That the hair covering the Douy OF
mn animal OF the head of Il human
being serves the purposes OF warmth
and protection il manifest, but one
would hardly expect to find that IL
also acts us "A cleansing agent This,
however, appears to be the fact. The
minute scales which cover the outer
portion of the hair are fastened ut
one edge and free at the other, and
the free edges lie in tho direction
away from the skin.
The surface Of a hair, therefore,
is like that of piece Of fur or cloth
covered with nap Rubbed from
root to tip it is found to be smoother
than when rubbed in the opposite Iii
rection
This being the case, it is evident
that particles Of matter In contact
with a HAIR must find Neir direction
of easiest motion to lie toward the
tip end of the hair and away from its
root. So by virtue of the peculiar
structure Of its surface the hair
serves gradually to remove from the
skin which it covers all foreign par
ticles which may have found lodg
ment there.
The oily secretion emanatln9 from
the follicles of the hair probably as
sists this action by gathering up the
fine particles of cxtraneous dust and
of scales from the skin, and thus ca
aiding the hair TO retain them, so tc
speak, in the grasp of its curious sys
tenn of brushes
Every movement of the hair, how
ever produced, must tend to set tho
particles sticking upon 1T in motion
and as we have already seen, thai
motion can be in only one direction
