Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Docs Not
Much Affect Them.
BACTERIA AND COLORS.

Blue Rays Kill Germs but Red Does Not
Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, experimenters have not bean who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
field Of the sun s rays which is most ef
ficient in action on bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor a. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course Of
his work that the most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are the most
effective ones: might be best obtained
by shining the solar spectrum directly
upon the film Of spores, and making it
record the effects by their subsequent
behavior, according as the different
groups Of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining a photograph Of the
spectrum in living and dead bacteria
The results showed conclusively that
the rays that kill the bacteria are the
blue and violet ones An observation
was made during the investigation
which may go far to account for the un-
satisfactory character Of the determine
tons Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
vas the great weakening Of the inten-
sity Of the dispersed rays Of the beam Of
light decomposed 10 form the spectrum,
weakening caused by the distribu-
ton Of the incidence Of the rays over
larger area and by their absorption and
reflection in passing through the lenses
and prisms
1t was found also, in working with
the electric light, that the power Of the
blue and violet rays was further i'm
paired-in other words, that they were
stopped-by the material (glass) through
which they had to pass.
The effect Of the glass was practically
the same as that Of mist or haze in the
atmosphere, which so filters out the
blue violet rays that the light Of dull
day was Of little effect in the authors
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain q very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays ~ kill the spores in
few hours. Tho author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the FUN
mer with solar raya, even with glars
lenses, mirrors, etc, and exposures u
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posurcs required To BE- 80 long az To be

A Clever SwindIing Scheme.

1tsnot an entirely new buncoing artifice
among the thieving gentry, but the manner
in which a wealthy woman customer OF
New York dry goods store was swindled,
is entirely new to the dry goods trade. The
customer mentioned went to the store and
purchased bill of goods.
Send it to my address," she ordered,
and my servant will pay the bill. have
left money with her,"
No one at the time observed 5enleel
looking young man standing close by who
had purchased pair of thirty-seVen cent
vases and had them ander his arm. lie,
however, had listened to the woman Gus
toner's order
An hour later he rang the bell of the
wealthy woman's residence and gave the
vases to the servant with an order to coll
lect $7.37. The servant paid, and the
man went away.
Soon after the mistress returned and
found the thirty seven cent vases and the
receipt for $7.37. Now the customer is
mad, the dry goods firm is studying up the
new scheme in fraud, and the police are
looking for the slick young man who made
81 from a thirty-seven cent investment.

Fireworks Cheap This Year.

Herbert Wycherley, of Parkvile, N. Y,
a manufacturer of fireworks, said to re-
porter; Fireworks generally are about
one-half this year that they were last year.
Even the firecrackers, the cheapest, most
obnoxious and least profitable of all forms
of pyrotechnics, only bring fifty cents a
box this year against 81 box last year.
You asked about novelties, though. We'll,
there are very few novelties, strictly speak
ing. There are two, however, that are
new in effect, though both of them are old
enough in form. We have pinwheel in
stock that is made up to look precisely like
an old-fashioned Catharine-wheel, as they
call it in England; but it is made with
magnesium, SO that it is almost too brill
liant to look at while it is burning Then
we have small torches made up in Il SINH
lar way, that give out a light so fierce as
to dazzle the eye. Aside from these, |
don't believe there is anything new"
Fireworks of all kinds are so cheap this
year that, if the small boys money holds
out, there will be nearly twice as much
disturbance around town on the glorious
Fourth as there was last year.

Th5re does not seem to be scientist
living to-day who can tell why the HAIR
precedes the beard and mustache in gray
ness or whiteness, or vice versa. In the
case of persons of blonde or dcmi-
blonde complexion, who have hair and
beard of light brown or sandy hue, the
process of growing gray seems to proceed
pari passu, but with the brunettes 1t Is an
even chance whether the hair or tic beard
and mustache first show the signs OF ad-
vaucing years. There must be some
scientific reason for three or four things
which we cannot have failed to notice.
What causes badness Why does the
hair turn gray or white sooner in one place
than another? Why does one mans head
turn silver white, while another's remains

mere bald-headed men than women? Why,
of two brothers, should one be equipped
with full, strong, permanent head of hair,
and the other become bald almost before
reaching years of manhood? These quest
ions may not he vital to the human family,
but they are certainly Of interest," and they
should be capable of scientific answer and
solution. \ head of hair is crown of
glory, whether to man or woman, and
there ought to be formulated definite
scientific rules under which the hair may
be preserved in its natural state. To make
hair grow on bald head is deemed prac-
ticaly impossible, but to preserve the hair
in healthy scalp or on healthy cheeks
or chin and to make it retain the most OF
its natural color should not be impossible.
We have specialists in every other depart
ment, why not encourage the education
and development of specialists i'll the de-
partment of crinosity There should at
least be money in the business of hair pres

How Children Play.

The boy has his doll-love also, and Is
often hardly less faithful than the girl.
The doll is the all-important comrade
IN that solitude for two Of which the
child, like the adult is SO fond.
Mrs. Burnett tells US that while sit.
ting and holding her doll in the arm
chair of the parlor she would sail across
enchanted seas to enchanted islands,
meeting with all sorts Of thrilling adj
ventures. ~
At another time, when she wanted to
net an Indian chief. the doll just as
obediently took up the part of squaw.
Very humanly, on the whole, is the
little dol1-lover wont to use her pet,
even though there come moments Of
rage and batterinS.
little boy of two and half years
asked his mother one day: "Will you
riyo me all my picture books to show
dolly? l don't know which he will
like best" - .
He then pointed to each in turn and
looked at the dolls face for the an
swer.
He made believe that it selected one,
and then gravely showed it all the pic.
lures, saying: Look here, dolly" and
carefully explaining them.
In this way does the child seek to
bring his mute playmate into the closest
intimacy with himself, sharing his life
to the full. ~'&Hh
The same thing is touchingly Illus,
trated in the fact that Laura Bridgman,
the first deaf, dumb and blind girl to be
educated, when visited by Dickens in
1912, was found to have put tiny
band over her dolls eyes to match tho
band she herself had to wear.
1t is illustrated further in the fact
that a child is apt to insist on dolly's
being treated by others as courteously
as himself expecting them to say good
night to it on saying good night to him,
self, and so forth.-Popular Science
