To the Senate OF the United States:
Gentlemen-It has been pain
full surprise TO us 20 see the house
pass the Burnett bill. providing for
a literary test. This test, as is we'll
known, does not aim at selection,
but merely at the cutting OF num-
bers. 1t is a move against present
immigration which we very ear
nestly regret II is a departure
from our traditions and the princi-
pie that has guided us in the past,
through means OF which our coun-
try stands pre- eminent as the land
Of equal opportunity. 1t overlooks
also the need Of the country for
continuous fresh supply of labor.
We can only hope now that the
senate will not join the house in
lis decision. but will come to bet
ter understanding as to the wishes
Of the majority of the American
people and the best interests OF the
country

PAY FOR LETTER CARRIERS.

Editor Georgian:
In behalf of the 1880 and odd
rural carriers of Georgia. l beg to
thank you for your recent editorial.
More Pay for Letter Carriers" AS
you state, The men who carry the
mails are underpaid now" Espe-
cially is this true of the rural car
rier, for he must furnish and keep
up his horses and vehicles at his
own expense. This costs the aver
age rural carrier approximately
$400 per year.
In estimating the benefits that
viii accrue TO the producer. manu-
facturer. merchant and consumer.
nearly everybody has overlooked
the men whose expenses will have
to be materially increased" in or
der to make it a success.
In view of this your editorial is
very timely Again, as you suggest,
If every patron who has the good
of the service and the welfare of
the carrier body at heart, city as
well as rural would take the time
to write letter to their congress-
man asking fair treatment for the
letter (package) carriers. it would
be of immense value.
Again thanking you for the edi-
torial, am,
Yours respectfully,

center a peak that glitters as if

pile of gems. was partly surround
ed by black deposit which is in
visible to the eye when the moon
is examined with a telescope. The
thought occurred to him that the
nature of this mysterious deposit
might be ascertained by finding out
what materials on the earth pre-
sent similar appearance when
photographed in the same kind of
rays.
Accordingly, he took two speci-
mems of volcanic rock, or tuff, and
made three photographs of them,
one in yellow light, one in violet
light and one in the ultra violet
rays He found that the image OF
one of the pieces of turf. which lay
on top of the other, was almost in
visible in yellow light. was darker
in the violet and was always black
in the ultra violet while the other
specimen did not show similar

changes Then he analysed the
specimen that photographed dark
in the ultra violet rays, and found
that it contained iron and little
sulphur
stained it with iron, but this show
ed equally dark in the violet and
the ultra violet Next, he sprayed
a part of the rock with sulphur
vapor producing deposit that was
invisible to the eye. When this was
photographed in the different kinds
of light the deposit was invisible in
the yellow, came out gray in the
violet and black in the ultra vio-
let Since this was exactly the APP
pearance of the strange deposit
around the crater mountain on the
moon. when photographed in SINH
lar lights. the inference was ire
sistible that Aristarchus is sur
rounded by vast deposits of sui
phur, whose existence would never
have been known to us but for the
curious power of the ultra violet
rays.
There are similar deposits around
other mountains on the moon, and
this fact is in accord with the be-
lief that most of those mountains
are of volcanic origin. since it is
well known that on the earth the
volcanoes are always surrounded
with deposits of sulphur.

The experiments of Professor
Wood may be only the beginning
of a new method of celestial ex-
ploration. which when it is perfect

ing discoveries. Already the posi-
bility has been discussed of en-
poying the mira red as well as the
ultraviolet rays for this purpose,
and inasmuch as every substance
probably has its own preferences
in regard to the kind of rays that it
reflects, there is no improbability
in predicting that Photographic
charts of the moon will be made
which will show the character Of

Enable Us to Find Out What the
Moon Is Really Made Of

THE old joker who declared that
the moon was made of green
cheese probably thought that
nobody could ever disprove his
statement, because it would be inn
possible for man to And out what
the moon really was made of.
If he could revisit the earth now
he would be less astonished to see
men flying through the air than to
find out that they have actually
discovered the composition of the
moon without going there.
1t is 100000 miles away, and we
have not yet succeeded in crossing
the empty space separating It from
the earth, but. nevertheless, by the
properties OF the light reflected from
its surface we are finding out what

of an inch in length, but there is
an abundance of invisible" light
whose waves are both much longer
and much shorter than those of the
light which we see.
The longer waves are called I'm
frared rays"-that is, below the
red--and the shorter ones are
called ultra violet rays"-that is,
beyond the violet--the red and vio-
let being the limits of the visible
spectrum of light.
Now, it happens that these rays,
which lie beyond our eye reach, are
reflected with varying degrees of
Intensity by different substances.
We can not see them directly, but
the photographic plate is able to
make them sensible to us, IL only
we can separate them from the
flood of invisible light that envel-
ops them. This separation can be
effected by means of colored
screens and OF certain substances
that are particularly transparent
for special kinds of light, like
quartz. BY such means Professor

university has succeeded in max
