Natures Puzzle of Gold Light"
BY GARRETT P. sERVIss.

ployed in the usual way. Such a
current would soon destroy the
hlament if continuously passed
through il. but when series of
lamps are brought in succession TO
the point of contact they can bear
this current for the brief interval
Of exposure, followed by a relative
Iv long period Of rest The gain
comes from the fact that with a
higher voltage employed by Dr.
Dussaud the quantity Of electricity
used Is only one-fourth as great
as that required to produce the
same amount of light at a lower
voltage in a continuously illumi-
mated lamp.
Then. he has invented a new
form of flament, rolled up into
little spirals, placed side by side to
form a minute cylinder, only a fifth
of an inch long and a tweuty-fifth
of an inch in diameter These
llliputian filaments concentrate
their light in a star-like point, and
many advantages result from this
For instance, when placed at the
focus Of a parabolc reflector one
of these brilliant points OF light
gives far better results than an
ordinary lamp, whose light is not
thus concentrated. for there is
almost no waste Of light, every ray
striking the curved surface of the
reflector at the proper angle. With
small reflector a brilliant and
uniform illumination may he pro
duced upon table, or other sur
face. placed beneath the revolving
lamps. and there will be no heating
effects.
One Of the useful applications of
this form of cold light is in
cinematography where the alb
sence of heat removes all danger
of ignition OF the celIulOid film In
many laboratory operations light
without heat is also extremely i'm
pOrtaut. II should become very
useful in microscopic examinations
where artificial light is needed

TINE cold light" of the freely
and the glcw-worm has
piqued and puzzled scien-
lists and inventors for a long time.
They have been able to produce
light only with a vast waste of
annoying and costly heat, but, all
the time. nature has been showing
them that It is possible to have
light with no heat.
The problem has not yet been
truly solved, natures mysterious
Gordian knot has not been undone.
but. in an indirect way, the produc-
ton of cold light" has been
achieved, somewhat in the manner
in which Alexander disposed of the
famous knot g, by cutting it.
II is a FTenChman. Or NJ Dus-
saud. who is the inventor of a kind
OF Cold light from which great
things are expected
His invention is based upon the
fact that when an electric lamp is
turned on the light appears in
stantly. but It takes an appreciahle
time for the lamp to become heated
by the absorption of the obscure
radiauons
Acting upon this hint. he mounts
three electric lamps on a fat re-
volviug disk and then causes the
disk to turn rapidly so as to bring
each lamp in succession TO a point
of contact where the electric cur
rent flows through It,
The contact lasts but a very
small fraction of a second, but that
is sufficient to cause the metallic
filament to fash out its light BY
revolving the disk at the rate Of
sixteen turns per second the sue
cessive flashes are combined, on
the principle of the cinematograph
into an apparently continuous
beam Of light The eye is unable
to perceive the Interruptions. In
fact, with sixteen rotations per sec
oud there are Corty-eight Interrupt
lions Of the light, and. for all prac-
tical purposes, it appears as per-
feCtly steady beam
hut there is no appreciate pro
ductiou Of heat. because there is
not time enough for its develop
ment during the brief contact.
since each lamp is exposed to the
current for only a fraction of the
time Of revolution Thus the beam
of light may continue to pour forth
during as long a time as may be
desired without producing any
heating effects
So much for the mere production
of cold light la order TO make
this light more economical to pro
duce than ordinary electric light
Dir Dussaud employs the principle
of "survoltuge. which means the
use of a current that would be too
strong for the lamp if it were en-

TINE Japanese problem, as it
presents itself on the Pa
cific Coast Of the United
States, is not a matter Of our pc
culiar polity or local prejudice
This is evident from the fact
that our British neighbors are
confronting precisely the same
problem in the western provinces
OF Canada.
Indeed, the racial collision be-
tween Occident and Orient has
more violent and disturbing ele-
ments with the Canadians than
with US.
The fisheries of British Column
bia are the largest and most prof
table fisheries in the world. They
are now wholly in japanese
hands. A conservative English
authority declares that over ten
thousand japanese fishermen are
deriving from this source annual
incomes varying from five hun
dred TO three thousand dollars
each.
The latest available figures,
now several years behind the
present reckoning. prove that in
the island Of Vancouver there
are more Japanese adult males
than white men. Thus the ques-
ton Of Japanese predominance in
Vancouver has become lively
and pressing issue. For expert
ence shows that the adult male
Japanese immigrant is, in proc
ess of time, usually followed by
his family. His customs and
habits become an-pervasive. He
enlarges his boundaries and
drives the white man before him.

The fact that the japanese are
swarming over the Loyalty Is

the Australian Commonwealth:
that they have virtually taken
possession of the Queen Char
lotte Islands in the Canadian Pa
cific offing, and that they are
settling down by thousands in

pretty sure in the long run to put

Attention has been called recently
to the need of training parents. And
this need has been emphasized by
evidence OF the undermining or dis
Indignation of the home. The family
is the social unit, and in the family
the obligation OF the paren. is para.
mount. God placed the solitary in
families before he placed them in
churches. 1t is in the family that we
first learn. and under the happiest
auspices to live as social beings. The
aim in the home, therefore. should
be to live as a social group and not
simply as individuals All that culti-
Yates the recognition of social rela-
tons in the home serves to make the
individual a better member of general
human society later on.
In these days the failure to recog.
nize the social relations of the family
is all 100 common. Each is inclined
to go his own way. The father gives
himself to business, the mother is re,
spending to social engagements, or
to the exigent demand OF women's
clubs. the children are off TO school
or to the playground None of these
occupations is evil in itself. But
while we do these things we need
sometimes to consider what has been
left undone. One way to counterfeit
this individualizing tendency is for
parents to recognize the family meal
as social occasion. This is the oc-
casion when the family is most likely
to be together. But at this meal too
often each arrives at time which
suits the individual convenience and
each leaves when he or she has eaten
enough. The family dining-room is
degraded into quick-lunch restau.
rant. where each hu-ries in to get
something to eat and hurries out
again.
When Jesus would feed the multi
tnde in the wilderness he did not
allow them to crowd around the bas-
kets like pigs in a trough in order
ereedily to grasp doles or bread and
fish. He commanded that all should
sit down In companies. When order
was secured. having lifted up his
eyes TO heaven, in recognition Of a
Power without whose cooperation the
earth would not have yielded her in
crease. he blessed and brake the
loaves- Then he gave to His disci-
pies and the disciples gave to the
multitude. Similarly did He conduct
the second course of fish. There was
an orderly service of social meal,
and not simply a hasty doing out
