The Power of Violet
Rays
By EDGAR LII GLEN LARKIN.

n III the vioIet rays Of
light of the sun can pen
x" citrate and tint solid
glassware, can they penetrate our
clothing and also our flesh? If
so, are they not hedlthful? Can
these rays penetrate the soil and
metal substances?
A.-Violet rays, and, more
powerful, short, rapid ultra violet,
are the standing mystery of all
spectroscopists, men who devote
their lives to the study of that
most wonderful thing, the solar
spectrum, in comparison with all
of the thousands of spectra of all
the chemical elements known or
discovered by the process.
Violet rays do not penetrate
clothing to any depth comparable
with long heat waves, but the
ultraviolet rays act upon all sub
stances upon which they impinge.
They are usually healthful; they
help to keep us alive, but they
Stay also, as in the case of sun
stroke
Go bare your back, stand for
an hour or two in brilliant sun
light; then the outer layer of the
skin will be burned like the X-ray
burns, and come off in a day or
two. Health, life, danger, death,
all lie in extra ultra violet-e
ergy waves direct from the sun,
especially in desert air, and worse
on mountain peaks.
Energy waves act on the sur
fare of the soil in a beneficial
way, extra violet killing mold and
bad germs in soil adjacent to
roots of plants. But when ultra
violet waves fall on the polished
surfaces of metals an effect has
been detected that leads into ma
lures very depths; for the mole
cules and atoms of the metals
emit electrons. This startling dis
covery may lead to the discovery
of new and now unknown laws.
The process in the chemicals
of the glass due TO violet and
ultra violet rays is obscure. but
the molecular changes in the
metallic oxides are such that
violet light is transmitted, a Sc
lection out of the combination of
all colors from the sun which
appears in the eye as white
that is, Only violet rays are trans
mitted out of many quadrillions.
