SUN AS A HAIR DYE.
Sailors Have Light Locks and Luxurisnt
Ones,

Ones.
The latest use to which the sun has
been put is to make it dye human hair,
and on the head of the pretty bathing
girl at that, says the New York Jour-
nal This fashion began last sum-
mer. A fashionable physician recon-
mended bright sunshine and sea ozone
as the best means of making the hair
light-colored, healthy and strong. The
young person for whom this prescrip-
ton was given found it very efficacious.
The end of the resort season has by
no means caused subsistence Of the
fad. Never before were there in New
York so many young women whose
golden hair hangs down their backs
once every day--that is, every sum
shiny day. A queer fact, too, is that
the idea, simple as it is, seems to have
the result Of producing the desired eff
feet. 1t Is certainly much more
harmless way Of bleaching the hair
than that which requires the use of
chemicals. ut seems to be very i'm
telligent idea," said physician, when
questioned regarding 1t. Gall sailors
will tell you how rapidly the hair grows
when on board ship in the tropics. I
have had some opportunity to observe
the color, or rather the average col
or, OF sailors hair. / have found that
the fair-haired mariners outnumber
their dark-haired shipmates by two or
three to one. l suppose the sun has
something of bleaching power, rs
well as forcing the growth Of the hair.
by causing an increased circulation OF
its sap In this respect 1t stands to
reason that each individual hair must
be somewhat like plant in its ma
ture."
