Flesh and Bones of Hand
Appear of Light Rose
Tint

One of the useful applications
of this form of "cold light" is
in cinematography, where the
absence of heat removes all dan
ger of ignition of the celluloid
film. In many laboratory oper-
ations light without heat is also
extremely important 1t should
become very useful in micro
scopic examinations where arti-
fetal light is needed. The alb
sence of heat prevents the crack
ing of glasses and the melting of
balsam mountings.
An interesting discovery of
Doctor Dussaud's is that when
the human hand is exposed close
to the point of origin of a beam
of cold light the flesh and bones
appear translucent, and of a light
rose tint, while the veins and
arteries are seen as dark blue
violet lines. Then, by the use OF
a spectroscope, the blood can be
analysed while it circulates in
the body. Hitherto such anal
ysis could only be performed
upon blood removed from its
circulating vessels. Now, says
Doctor Dussaud, the physician
can observe the effects of his
treatment by studying the blood
of his patient as it flows in his
veins and arteries.

the rate of 10 turns per second

But there is no appreciable
production of heat, because there
is not time enough for its de-

to the current for only fraction
of the time of revolution. Thus
the beam of light may continue
to pour forth during as long
time as may be desired without
producing any heating effects.
So much for the mere produc-
ton of cold light" In order
to make this light more econom-
ical to produce than ordinary

piqued and puzzled scientists
and inventors for a. long time
They have been able to produce
light only with 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

done, but, in an indirect way, the
production of cold light" has
been achieved, somewhat in the
manner in which Alexander dis
posed of the famous knot. e.,
by cutting it.
1t is Frenchman, DIR. M.
Dussaud, 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 ap-
pears instantly, but it takes an
appreciable time for the lamp to
become heated by the absorption
of the obscure radiations.
Acting upon this hint, he
mounts three electric lamps on
a fiat revolving disk and then
causes the disk to turn rapidly
so as to bring each lamp in sue
cession to a point of contact
where the electric current flows
through 1t.

LiIiputian FiIaments Con-
centrate Light in Star
Point

Then, he has invented a new
form of filament, rolled up into
little spirals, placed side by side
to form a minute cylinder, only
a fifth of an inch long and
twenty-6fth of an inch in diam
eter. These liliputian hlaments
concentrate their light in star
like point, and many advantages
result from this. For instance,
when placed at the focus of
parabolic 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 illumina-
ton may be produced upon a
table, or other surface, placed
beneath the revolving lamps,
and there will be no heating ef-
fects.

One time the father got tired Of adj

a long time. Finally, the father seal
ed the climax when, In response to .
written touch" for $50, he sent the
boy a IS note, with the added advice
that that was the last money he
should ever advance to him. To this
threat the son sent the following an
swer:
'If you do not send me the $50 re-
quested I'll use this So in the purchase
of revolver and blow nay brains out"
The father, in reply to this tragic
note, sent back this one:

you will have to quit wasting my mon
ey on useless luxuries. Don't spend

Though Pen Browning's statue was
rejected, two or three pictures paint
ed In Belgium, clever in hard, real
istic technique, but very far from
beautiful, were hung at the academy.
Browning was sensitively anxious
about the reputation of these works.
On one occasion, when he was show

noted the saying with its rather
strained modesty: "You see, people
expect SO much from him because he

kind of impression about it. 1t was a
pig seen through no temperament at
