BACTERIA AND COLORS.
Blue Rays Kill Germs, but Red Does No
Much Affect Them.

Much Affect Them.
Although investigation has not been
idle, experimenters have not been Who'll
ly agreed as to the exact property or
field Of the suns rays which is most eff
ficient i'll action Oh bacteria and fungi.
The inquiry has been continued by
Professor H. Marshall Ward, to whom
the thought occurred in the course Of
his work that tho most direct answer to
the question, Which rays are tho 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 tho different
groups of rays fell upon them-in other
words, by obtaining photograph Of the
spectrum III living and dead bacteria.
The results showed conclusivoly 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 tho un-
satisfactory character Of the determine
tions Of former experiments.
The chief difficulty to be overcome
was the great weakening Of tho inten-
sity of the dispersed rays Of the beam Of
light decomposed to form the spectrum,
u weakening caused by tho distribu-
ton of the incidence of the rays over a
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 author g
experiments.
These difficulties were overcome by
using quartz instead Of glass, with
which it was possible to obtain very
pure spectrum sufficiently rich in blue
and violet rays to kill the spores in a
few hours. The author found it easy to
obtain satisfactory results in the sum-
mer with solar rays, even with glass
lenses, mirrors, ETC., and exposures Of
five or six hours, but in winter the ex-
posures required to be SO long as to be
almost impracticable. Popular Science

for discovery was the best obtainable,
their learning was at least respectable
and their library was mixture Of the
ancient classics with those of the mod
