Is Your Hair Brush 'Individual?"

ITO use another persons tooth
brush is unthinkable. and the
London Lancet, medical Jour.
nal, finds it lamentable that the 'in.
dividual' hair-brush is not equally

The tendency of modern times Is
TO make civilized people much more
fastidious than were their ancestors.
The risk Of infection is materially
diminished by taking a reasonable
amount Of care, and this Is true
not only Of the more serious dis
eases, such as the infectious
fevers, but also Of the slighter
affections such as ringworm. 1t
is curious that even at the present
day very little care is taken to pre-.
vent infection OF the scalp. Until
recently even hairdressers employed

it is true that many hairdressers do
attempt to sterilize the brushes and
other implements which they en-
ploy. but 1t is still customary with
many persons TO employ almost any
hairIorush which may be available
In the dressing-rooms Of clubs com.
mon hair-brushes are provided, and
few hesitate to employ them.
Now 1t is generally agreed that
seborrhoea of the scalp is microbic
In origin, and though the resisting
power Of the Individual Is an I'M
portant factor in the production Of
the disease, infection also plays ar
active part. So that it cannot be
doubted that the use of a hair-brush
employed by others carries risk. 1t
is not improbable that the increase
OF badness In civilized communities
Is associated with the greater risks

1ectlon is crimson and the diamonds

But this Is not all. These cathode
rays have still another power, even
more magical. They not only make
the vases phosphorescent, but they
force these vases to emit rays, and
these rays seem greater than the pa
rent cathode rays, which, though In
visible, penetrate almost everything. A
few bodies seem to resist them, such
as metals and stones, but everything
else surrenders, including paper,
wood and fabrics. Even our flesh,
skin, tissues, all but our bones, yield
to the power of these rays.

n EW wonders have been accom-
plished by the invisible ultra
violet rays. They are able TO
bring down rain in abundance when
ever it is desired and to turn the
most arid desert into q blossomlng
paradise.
The most familiar form of ultra
violet rays are the X-rays, now 30
extensively used in medicine, but
they are not the ones which are en-
poyed for rain-making These new
wonder working handmaidens of in
dustry are the rays OF the mercury
lamp
The mercury lamp rays have been
found TO possess many powers very
useful in science and industry. In
Guiding an extraordinary adaptable
ity for sterllizing food and drink In
a quick, effective and convenient
manner. AT present, however, their
capacity to produce rain would ap-
pear 10 be their most profitable use
10 man.
The mercury lamp used is similar
In construction to the one which has
been found so economical and power
full for Illuminating purposes, al
though the light Is somewhat dis
agreeable. In this lamp mercury
vapor takes the place OF air. An
electric current Is passed through
the vapor and brilliant light is the
result.
When the special ultraviolet rays
are to be produced a prism is ar
ranged within the lamp. This has
the effect Of separating the ultra
violet or invisible rays from the visi-
BILE ones. The invisible rays may
then be directed upon any object
1t has been found that when these
rays are turned upon a vessel con-
ta1nins hydrogen, 1T is filled with
water in moment The oxygen In
the air is carried by the rays into
the hydrogen, forcing It to combine
with the latter in the form Of water.
The rays always have an extraor-
dinary effect on the oxygen In the
atmosphere, making 1t combine with
other substances more rapidly than
1t would otherwise do.
Now the air always contains
very large proportion OF free hydro
gen and it has been practically
demonstrated that 1t is only neces-
saTy 10 turn the mercury lamp rays
on the air to produce rainfall An
apparatus has been constructed In
France for the purpose OF putting
this discovery in practical use. The
mercury lamp rays are thrown into
the air at height of about a thous-
and feet from the ground, where the
hydrogen is comparatively abundant.
As the production Of small guam
tity of water In the sky has the effect
of drawing other water from a
distance. it Is believed that his ma

Bread may in future be made with

found that under the influence of
these rays beet sugar doubles it's
content Of glucose and cellulose This
is exactly what fermentation does.
The ultraviolet rays may take the
place OF yeast IN bread, and every
substance that needs to be ferment-
ed. It is believed that they would be
more wholesome than yeast.

passed through the water they have

do not yet know very much about
the "infra-red" rays, But the
contrary Is true as to the "ultra-vio-
let's" for 1t is in the world OF these
rays that all the wondrous marvels
have been discovered of late, includ-
Ing the X-rays, cathode rays. N-rays,
radium rays and many other kinds Of
radioactive rays and the wonderful

the effect Of enormously increasing
the amount OF oxygen in 1t. This
results in the destruction Of all baC-
terial life for such life cannot exist
in presence of a large excess OF
oxygen. The rays may therefore be
used to ster1lize all kinds Of liquids.
A French chemist named F. de
Mare has devised An apparatus for
sterilizing drinking water by means
OF the ultraviolet rays. A quick
flash Of the rays thrown through a
glass just before Its contents are
drunk destroys all kinds Of harmful
organisms in II. The water may also
the lip Of the cup before it is drunk.
These are a few of the many won
ders that are being accomplished by
the invisible rays OF light. 1t is a
curious fact that these rays were
discovered long before any particular
properties were observed. 1t was
toward the close Of the eighteenth
century that Herschel, the noted as
tronomer conceived the idea that
there might be physical properties.
connected directly with the colors
of the spectrum. He exposed ther-
mometer to each Of the colors sep
arately, and to his surprise found
that though it remained stationary
when exposed to violet rays, it rose
gradually as he brought it nearer to
the red rays. Stranger than this,
after he had passed the red rays and
gone into the dark region the ther-
mometer continued to rise. Were
there then some other rays present,
invisible to the naked eye, but warm
er even than their red neighbors?
There must be-and so he termed
them the infra-red rays OF the spec
trum.
What was there, then, at the other
end of the spectrum? The Swedish
physicist. Scheele, soon gave the an
swer. While the blue and violet rays
Of the spectrum seemed to have no
caloric action, they had what was
even more important, a powerful
chemical action. Thus it was DEM
onstrated by exposing chloride Of sill
yer to their rays this salt became
black and was decomposed into other
salts. This became later the prin-
ciple which produced photography.
But he followed Herschel and went
beyond the visible spectrum, expos
ing the chloride to the rays beyond
the violet, and 10 and behold, it was
decomposed! There could be no
doubt that beyond the violet rays
which were visible. sharing their
action along chemical lines, were
other rays, imperceptible to our eyes

Chauffeur Examiner Issues
Many Licenses-Local Deal
ers Oppose Law.

William R Dillon, chief chauffeur
examiner of this state, has been kept
very busy examining and issuing
licenses to local chauffeurs. The driv-
ers of cars and dealers are beginning
10 realize that they must live up 10 the
law and very little trouble has been ex-
perienced so far About 90 local driv-
ers have been examined and licensed
so far and 60 to 30 machine licenses
have been issued. Iowa dealers who
have trucks over here every day have
also fallen into line and between 80
and 40 owners have applied for ILL
nois licenses. Twenty-Five Iowa drivers
have been examined.
Mr.. Dillon has discovered that very
few motorcycle owners have been liv-
ing up TO the state law, which requires
both head and tail lights and also
license for these machines. The yearly
license for a motorcycle is only 81
(pro-rated) and he sees no excuse for
and there is no excuse for negligence
Of the owners in this respect.
II is Mr.. DiIlon's intention to stay
here until everything is cleaned up
and gone over thoroughly
II is understood today that local auto
dealers are planning on the employ
ment OF counsel for the purpose of
fighting the provisions of the state
law.

Charleston, w. Va, June 13.-Down
from the s%unbaked hills of West Vir-
ginia came a hundred brawney coal
miners to tell the senate mine inyes-

country was transformed into a the
alter of civil war. They thronged the
lobby of the hotel where the commit
tee held its hearings.
Because of the failure of former
Governor Glasscock, subpoenaed as
"star" witness of the day, to reach
Charleston the plans of the investi-
eating committee were changed, how
ever. Preparations were made i'm
mediately for the trip to the mines,
set for a later date, and five United
States senators started back into the
West Virginia hills to view the bat

and Cabin creeks.
A special train on the Chesapeake
and Ohio railroad was provided for
the senator's trip and an itinerary was
arranged which included all of the
principal mines on both of the Paint

Indications That Upper Hayes
River Is Rich In Gold.

Edmonton, Alberta. George Gardi-
ner of Ottawa is in Edmonton outfit
ting for a trek over the trail Of rO-
nance to the Upper Hayes river dis
trict to prospect Il gold claim located
by a man he believes to have been his
uncle on the bank Of the Peace river
In 1898, during the rush to the Yukon,
when this city was made the starting
point of the overland trail to the Klon-
dixie.
The story told here by Gardiner Is
that during the KlOndike rush three
prospectors went into the Hayes river
country, which, except for a small part
along the river near Vermilion, is un-
explored. One of the party was found
on the river bank a year afterward.
The man was emaciated and lived only
a few hours, but i'm his last few min
utes of life told of a fight with Indians,
who killed his two companions. He
had in his possession samples of the
richest gold. 1t could have been pro-
cured in no other place, so it may be
that that uneyplored territory is rich
in the yellow metal
Though the hinterland has been ex-
plored to points within the arctic cir
Gle, the Upper Hayes river country
still remains a vast unknown stretch.
Remarking upon the fact, an old timer
in the north country said he had never
known Of a white man getting far into
that part of the country.
From Edmonton to Peace river
crossing by way Of Athabasca is 400
miles, and outside of about a fifty
mile stretch beyond Peace river cross
ing and the Upper Hayes still lies n
great uneXplorcd land of rolling and,
so far as is known, open country. 1t
is inhabited by the Dog Ribs tribe OF
Indians. The territory runs clear
through to the mountains on the Brit
ish Columbia side. and it is supposed
that a large number Of bad Indians
have settled in there.
