Mr.. Louis Bell, the electrical illu'

hoeff, an eye specialist, have published
in Science their opinion that the al.
legged dangers TO the eye from ultra
violet radiation of sunlight and vari-
Gus artificial lights amount to nothing
at all. They admit that there have
been many Sensational attacks" upon
modern illuminants as dangerous by
reason OF injurious effects of ultra
violet or actinic rays, but these have
entirely neglected any quantitative
relation between the radiation and It's
supposed pathological effects" Very
little OF these rays can penetrate the
cornea. and the crystalline lens cuts
off completely those that straggle
through toward the retina. Protective
glasses are useful only, they conclude
In cutting of dazzling lights and un
due heat.
