Photographing the Invisible.

Workers in the field of photography
claim that an instrument has been de-
vised which, with the aid of a powerful
microscopic apparatus, can make use of
ultraviolet light to photograph objects
too small to be seen with ordinary mag
nifying devices. The use of photography
is necessitated by she facts that ultra
violet rays, though they do not affect
the eye, easily impress sensitized plate
or finn. Thus the new process actually
employs invisible rays to reveal invisible
objects. A writer in Harper's Magazine,
calling attention to this process, says that
one of its advantages is that by means Of
it protoplasn and microscopic animals
and plants may be studied very advan-
tageously while in the living condition
With visible light protoplasm Is so nearly
transparent and homogeneous that much
Of its structure cannot be seen, whil1
in ultraviolet light the various constituI
ents of protoplasm show varying degrees
of translucency, so that they may be seen
and photographed as clearly as If thay
had been stained He further says;
There is no prospect that by the use Of
this light molecules or smaller constitu-
ents of matter may be ever seen or photo
graphed. These lie far beyond the reach
of even the ultraviolet microscopic; but
there is good reason to hope that 1t may,
among other things, reveal vital elements
hitherto unknown or but imperfsctly
seen; and that its invention may mark as
great an advance in microscopy as did the
production of the homogeneous immersion

the better actual business, taking the
country as a whole, shows an increased
degree of quiet both at wholesale and re-

and Silver, but Are Forced to Flee.
Two robbers looted the State bank Of
Clinton, ILL.,, Monday afternoon of $4,000
in gold and silver coin, overlooked much
greater treasure in bills and finally,
through their daring, lost $500 of the
money they had stolen and barely escaped
falling into the hands of the local police.
Posses were sent cut in every direction
after the fugitives, and two suspects were
captured. One gave the name of Edward
Miller Of Chicago and the other said he
was Edward Davis of Chicago. The bank
had closed for the day. Already the
paper money had been placed in the vault
and only the gold and silver coins remain
ed on the counter when the two bandits
entered through a rear door, The robbers
forced the bank officials TO hold up their
hands and then marched them TO the big
vault wherein many thousands Of dollars
were stored. This they were compelled TO
enter and the bandits shut the door. They
then scooped the gold and silver into a
suitcase and calmly walked back to the
Henion hotel. There they called up the
telephone operator and asked her to send
around a man to free some OF the bank
officials who accidentally had been locked
in vault. Through the phone operator
the call was traced to the hotel and the
police went there. Instead, however, of
surrounding the place, they went to the
room of the bandits and knocked. The
robbers jumped out of window, carrying
the gold with them, but left $500 in
silver lying On table.

The situation as TO money is brighter, al

demand for currency remains acute. More
encouragement is derived from the eou-

The increasing contingents of home
coming Italians. Lithuanians and other
Mediterranean steerage passengers are
disconcerting not only to the steamship
companies, who have inadequate faciH-
ties for dealing with such a sudden and
unexpected traffic. but to the labor
leaders of Europe, who deny that these
newcomers have sufficient money to
pass the winter without working, and
declare that they will thus add to the
misery of what is sure to be hard Win
ter among the European working
classes.
The figures given by the French Ia.
Dor bureau as to the returning emil
grants are cOrroborated by Nicholas

who says that all the steerage capacity
of every vessel has been taken until
Feb. l, while thousands more will be
unable to return to Europe before
spring. If this keeps up, Il Paris CORE

must be taken TO repatriate the hordes
of disappointed Adventures, for the
ordinary means are insufficient
ITO my knowledge several hundred
of more or less destitute aliens are wan

verge of starvation, and the prefecture
police books will probably multiply this
figure by three" said one of the officials
at the ministry of works to the CORE

expedite their return to their native
countries. Something like half of them

sufficient to pay their fare"
Turn of Immig grafton Tide.
Never since the first ship sailed out
of New York harbor has there been any
thing like the present exodus of emil
grants from that port. Day by day the
crowds clamoring for transportation
abroad grow greater, with no prospect
of their reduction in numbers. Last
week 10000 Steerage passengers were
carried from New York this week
steamship men say the total will reach
10000. The steerage rate was raised
from SCI to S31 in hope of staying the
exodus, but without avail.

THOSE CONCRETE HOUSES.
Eminent Philanthropist Will Build
City of Edison Homes.

Working together, Thomas A. Edison,
wizard of East Orange, N. j., and
Henry Phipps, New York millionaire,
believe they can solve the tenement
house problem.
They plan to do this by erecting an
entire city of concrete houses, Mr.. Edi-
son having perfected plans recently
whereby, he says, he can build within
u hours and at a cost of from 81 900 to
$1,000 a beautiful nine-room house,
suitable for two families. Each apart
ment of these double houses can be
rented proftably at $3.50 month, &C.
cording to Mr.. Edison, thus saving to
the working man now paying $40 a
month for two-room home in the tene-
ments, enough money each month to
cover his carfare expenses to and from
his work.
Mr.. Phipps, who in 1905 gave $1,000
600 for the erection of model tenements
in New York City, recently spent an
afternoon in Mr.. Edison's laboratory at
East Orange, discussing with him the
possibilities of the cement or concrete
house. The steel manufacturer was &C
companied by corps of architects,

The persons killed lived on the fourth

filed with smoke, prevented them going

crowded together, men, women and
children sank to the floor, choked with
smoke and were unconscious when the

DEFECTIVE CHILDREN.
One-Third of ALI School Pupils Have
Something Wrong with Them.

According 10 the report of a committee
of prominent educators, headed by Charles
G. Birmingham, former president of the
board of education of New York City,
one-third of all the school pupils in the
United States are behind in their grades
because of some physical defect such
as impaired hearing and vision, enlarged
glands or malnutrition. The committee
reports that in the vast majority of cases
these defects could be cured if taken in
hand at once, That many millions of the
children of the United States have ply
steal defects which are retarding their
progress, that in most cases these defects
are removable, but that in the vast ma
jority they will not be because of ignor-
ance or carelessness are statements start
ling enough to merit wide attention. If
the average throughout the United States
is the same as that in New York, there
are in our country l 100000 ill-nourished
children, 5,G15,0O0 with enlarged glands
and 6,925,000 with defective breathing.
Comprehensive plans for dealing with
the physical defects of school children
are outlined in the report. These include
a thorough physical examination of all
children, notification to parents and the
enforcement of existing laws. Where
proper authority is now lacking it is plan
ned to compel parents to take necessary
steps in behalf of their children's health.
Enforcement of health, tenement house
and child labor laws and the establish
ment, in connection with boards of edu-
cation, of departments of School hygiene,
the duties of which shall be to see that
school buildings are so constructed and
so conducted that they cannot themselves
produce or aggravate physical defects, are
also recommended.

the S2-a-day man, who is also the S600-a-

wife and three children under working
age, spends more than he earns for the
necessities. Rent for two and rarely three
rooms is about $154 his food costs 500
for the year, of which his share is 22I@
cents day, or half a cent above the min
imum for physical efficiency fixed by
Prof. Underhill of Yale; for fuel and

is spent for daily papers. SIS for club or
