Effect Of x.Raya.

Both plant and animal tissues ARE,

appears that highly beneficial effects
may be produced. In experiments in
Germany, Or. Schwartz found no an.
preciable results from an exposure Of
young plant sprouts for 80 seconds.
while an exposure Of 1--WE minutes had
aldecided influence in retarding doyeE
opment. The best time for beneficial
action proved TO be about $50 seconds,
and By such exposure to the rays the
plants were so stimulated that IN three
weeks their height reached twice that
