DANGEROUS COLOR IS BLUE
Men Who Voyage Above tho Earth
Prefer Red for tho Covering Of
Their Balloons.

In case, you ever feel tempted to buy
a balloon, don't buy a blue one. Red
ones are the best. There is a scientific
reason why. According to tho 70
searches Of N. Reynaud, caoutchouc is
strongly attracted by tho ultraviolet
rays from the mercury vapor lamp
with quartz tube, which is q power
full source Of such rays. This fact
has practical bearing in connection
with balloon envelopes which are
treated with caoutchouc.
Aeronauts are familiar with the dis.
coVery that the envelopes suffer dur
Ing ascensions, and this ia explained
by tho greater effect of ultraviolet
rays at high attitudes. Experiment
had already led to using yellow color.
Ing matter on the envelopes, and red
balloons are sometimes seen, but
never blue or violet. M. Reynaud con.
siders that red is the best color to
use, as 1t not only absorbs the ultra.
violet rays, but also the blue rays, and
these last are likely to- share in the
bad action OF the suns rays upon bal
looms.

MINERAL RESOURCES
OF Chill

Chilli is situated CT the western
slope of South America and ex-
tends from Cape Horn over half
way up the Pacific coast. 1t is
1928 miles long and averages
about 125. miles in width. 1t is
bounded by the Pacific ocean on
the west and the snowy ridges of
the Andes on the east. The
country for the most part is
mountainous and appropriate for
the development of industrial life.
Its principal industries are the ex-
ploitation of it's natural resources
Mining and it's branches are the
principal contributors to the wealth
uf the country. forming SO per cent
of the export trade. Copper, salt
petre and coal are the principal
products of the mining industry.
Gold, silver and lead are mined
but, in small amounts.
The economic conditions in Chile
are quite different from most other
countries. The limited develop.
ment of industry in general has
maintained the wages of laborers
at low figure. Considering the
high cost of fuel and the cheapness
of labor, it is often less expensive
to use manual labor than machinery.
With the exception of the north
ern part, Chile is cut by numerous
rivers. These rivers carry large
amounts of water in winter as
we'll as in summer. There are a
great many falls in their courses,
which present excellent places for
the development of hydraulic
power. There are several plants in
operation now that use hydraulic
power.
