natural energy by virtue Of which the
universe keeps going over immense
periods Of time are to be found mot IN

the inherited capacity to develop nor
mally only under white light. But
there has besn very little research
work done along these lines for the
purposs Of Determining why thsss
variations occur. Probably the most
significant facts In this connection are
to BE- found In the discoveries Of d..
J. r. Green. who In 1897 showed that
light had m appreciable effect on the
formation and action Of the engines
In plants and that the red and blue
rays favored the formation Of the
engines. while the green. the indigo
and the violet. and especially the ultra
violet. rays destroyed them. He also
made the striking suggestion that
vegetable structures have . power Of

The very recent discoveries OF Nina.
Henri and others - to the effects OF
light rays on microorganisms are
steps along this line which promise
much relief to suffering humanity By
emphasizing the effects on light rays
