The Power of Violet
Rays
BY EDGAR LII Glen LARKIN.

n III the vioIet rays of

these rays penetrate the soil and

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
ultra violet rays act upon all sub
stances upon which they implnge.
They are usually healthful; they
help to keep us alive, but they
Stay also, as in the case of sun

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-en-
ergy waves direct from the sun.
especially in desert air, and worse
on mountain peaks.
Energy waves act on the sur
face OF the soil in 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

Famous Retreat of
Sir John Moore
BY REV. THos. B. GREGORY

TT was one hundred and Ave
Il years ago--January 16, 1909
that Sir John Moore fell
mortally wounded at Corunna, TO
be buried that night by his grief
stricken comrades and '4eft alone
with his glory"
As has been we'll said. Sir John
holds a unique place in English
military history, being the only
British general who has gained
everlasting fame by the conduct
OF a retreat"
In November, 1903, Moore was
ordered to Spain to help stem the
tide of French success in that
country, and the 18th OF the
month found him concentrated at
Salamanca. where he was forced
to remain inactive, watching the
triumphant successes of Napo-
leon and his marshals. About
the middle OF December, Moore
began his famous retreat" from
Salamanca to Corunna. To know
what that retreat was. and why
II was that It made Moore's name
immortal In British annals, one
needs but to read the account of
il in Napier's Peninsula War"
which account has been called the
finest piece OF military history
in the English language"
But the account could not have
been so fine unless the retreat
itself had been fine, For nearly
a month Moore was fighting
NNOAN Nay WIN INC ldTbcly Supe-
rior numbers OF the French, who
pressed upon him. and never
once did he lose either his cour-
age or his head. AS often as he
was attacked he beat back the
enemy, and finally reached Co
runna. where he hoped to con-
meet with the fleet But the fleet
was not there, and Sir John, right
after his exhaustive march with
its constant lighting was obliged
TO join battle with Soult. The
determined assault OF the French
marshal was handsomely re-
pulsed. and IN the midst OF the
victory Moore received the wound
that killed him.
A finer piece of manhood than
Sir John Moore the annals of the
race can not show.
No better advice could possibly
be given to young man than to
say to him: Read and study.
and try hard 10 initiate the life
and conduct OF sir John Moore"

"Higgledy-ptggleby," also said

was a "higgler." because nobody

the etymology. am inclined to
think that we owe "piggledy' to
the inveterate habit of rhynriur

The "inveterate habit of rhyzn-

king of the hasty, secret burial of
Polonius. The first meaning is
secretly" and only afterward
does 1t mean something done in
slovenly fashion. 1t is older than
Shakespeare, though in Sir
Thomas More 1t appears as
"hucker-mucker," and so hides Its
origin. 1t Is Danish and is APP

from which we get "smuggle"-
to bring into the country secretly.
"Ludlam's dog" was another A

Of this creature brought to light
the fact that he LEANED his head

"A Saucy Mommet."
And the best of ali was "a

beet of all. One of the girls was
"a saucy mommet," and We
youngsters screamed our delight
We clamored for an explanation;
but the old lady stalked off in
high dudgeon, scorning to define
1t was many years before light
dawned. In Romeo and Juliet
the fair daughter Of the Capulets
is described by her father as "a
whining mammet," and "mom-
met" Is clearly the equivalent Of
Shakespeare's "mammet." And
Shakespeare is right, not grand
mother. For a "mammet" was a
doll and whining mammet"
was a cry baby, girl as childish
as her own doll.
Curiously enough, the word Is
from "Mahomet!" And II does a
black injustice to the great
prophet of Arabia. For his re-
ligion took its rise in a protest
against the veneration OF idols.
"Yet "mammetry," corruption
of "Mahometry," appears in early
English authors for idolatry;"

These tales of a grandmother
might go on forever. They have
led us back to Mahomet and to
