infect il or even to cleanse it. Now
II Is true that many hairdressers do
attempt TO sterilize the brushes and
other implements which they EN-
ploy, but it is still customary with
many persons to employ almost any
hair-brush which may be available.
In the dressing-roomS of clubs com
mon hair-brushes are provided. and
few hesitate to employ them.
NOW il 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
of infection of the scalp which exist.

TO 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 a
recognized necessity.
The tendency of modern times is
10 make civilized people much more
faslidiOus than We're 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. II
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
the same brush to all customers

TEW wonders have been accom-
M plished by the invisible ultra
4 violet rays They are able to
bring down rain in abundance when
ever it is desired and to turn the
most arid desert into a poisoning
paradise.
The most familiar form of ultra
violet rays are the X-rays, now so
extensively used i'm medicine. but
they are not the ones which are en-
ployed 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 sterilizing 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
to man.
The mercury lamp used is similar
in construction 10 the one which has
been found so economical and power
full for Illuminating purposes, al
though the light Is somewhat dis
agreeable. In his lamp mercury
vapor takes the place OF air. An
electric current is passed through
the vapor and a 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.
II has been found that when these
rays are turned upon a vessel con-
tanning hydrogen, Il is filled with
water in a 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 eNtraor-
binary effect on the oxygen in the
atmosphere, making il combine with
other substances more rapidly than
il would otherwise do.
Now the air always contains a
very large proportion of free hydro
gen and il has been practically
demonstrated that il is only neces-
sary 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 al a 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
distance. It is believed that his ma
chine will put an end effectively to
disastrous droughts and supply
water 10 arid places.
Bread may in future be made with
the ultraviolet rays 1t has been
found that under the influence of
these rays beet sugar doubles its
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. II Is believed that they would be
more wholesome than yeast.
When the ultraviolet rays are
passed through the water they have

the "infra-red" rays. But the
contrary is true as to the "ultra-vio-
let's" for il is in the world Of these
rays that all the wOndrous maryels
have been discovered Of late, includ-
ing the X-rays, cathode rays, Mays,
radium rays and many other kinds of

the amount Of oxygen in II. Ihis
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 sterilize all kinds OF liquids.
A French chemist named f. de
Mare has devised an apparatus TOT
sterilizing drinking water by means
of the ultraviolet rays. A quick
fash of the rays thrown through a
glass lust before its contents are
drunk destroys all kinds OF harmful
organisms in IT, The water may also
be sterilized by passing the rays over
the lip Of the cup before II Is drunk-
These are few OF tie many Won
ders that are being accomplished by
the invisible rays Of light 1t IS
curious fact that these rays were
discovered long before any particular
properties were observed 1t was
toward the close Of the eighteenth
century that Herschcl. the noted AS
trouomrr. conceived the idea that
there might be physical properties
connected directly with the colors
of the spectrum. He exposed Their
mometer to each of the colors sep
arately, and to his surprise found
that though it remained stationary
when exposed to violet rays, il 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 Their
mometer continued 10 rise. Were
there then some other rays present
invisible to the naked eye, but warm
er even than their red neighbors2
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 10 have no
caloric action. they had what was
even more important, a powerful
chemical action. Thus Il was dem
Oustrated 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

greatly in width, spread of fare and

hugging the throat quite close at the
base and flaring only toward the top,
others being set lower and standing
away from the throat little all
