IS ARTIFICIAL sun
Invention of Scientists for Puri-
fication of Water.
10 Claimed to Have Much the Same
Effect al That Produced by the
Rays Of the Sun-ln Zee
In Europe.

II has long been known that water
allowed to flow over bed of sand,
natural filter, and subjected to the
suns rays, soon becomes free from
harmful bacteria. The powerful ster-
liking effect of the suns rays which
are so effective In destroying germs
has been attributed TO the ultra-vio-
let part OF the light. The problem
for scientists has been to devise some
way of employing the sterilizing eff
fects of these rays In an effective
manner for human use.
French and German scientists set
about the task and have produced a
new sterilizer. In which, In order that
the maximum amount of ultraviolet
rays can penetrate the rock crystal.
which is the only solid that will admit
such penetration. The light given out
is vastly richer In ultraviolet rays. in
proportion to visible rays than In sun
light.
The sterilizing apparatus was tnst-
ed at Marseilles and Rouen, where
typhoid has become an epidemic, and
the results obtained were highly sat
isfactory. The French carried one of
the sterilizers into Morocco and the
freedom of the troops from ravages
OF typhoid, which ragged among the
Moors. was attributed by the army
surgeons largely to the use Of the
ray-sterillzed water. Reports of tests
made In the Austrian army shows a
similar success for the system, and
the United States army surgeons In
the Philippines declare that the rays
destroyed the harmful baciIli In the
water there and also the amelia. which
abound in practically all tropical wa,

three OF them home the other night.
They were alive and he planned to

placed them on top of the refrigerator

chance for them to spend the night.
1t was along toward midnight that
the son came home. The rest OF the
family was abed and asleep. AS the
son stole into the pantry for his usual

and up the stairs to his fathers cham

awe-struck tones. They've got in at
the back door and are trying to open
the door into the kitchen
Dad" followed his son softly down
the stairs without stopping for further
arguments or garments. Son walked
cannily ahead with leveled revolver
and pale face. They reached the
kitchen and, listening, could hear
strange sounds in the back hall. Lights
were flashed and then with caution
and ready for the shock Of discovery
they opened the door.
There on the floor with their legs
twisted about each other lay two of
the Holsters, scrapping and fighting.
They had evidently started the argu-
ment on the refrigerator and wriggled
off on to the floor, where they kept 1t

He took that cake and put in on a
shelf
Beyond the reach of sister, and said il
did belong
To him alone. and then he helped
himself
At first the girl said nothing-she was
simple soul
And she thought in time he surely
would divide.
But Il seemed as IL the boy would just
devour the whole.
And she herself was hungry, so she
cried.
With words he strove to soothe her
and with logic very clear,
He proved she did not really need
the cake.
"She had had none Of IT, and to him
she was so dear
That he'd eat it very nicely for her
sake"
But when this failed to stay her. and
she piled chair with books.
And TO the cake began to win her

He only had for her horrid names and
ugly looks,
And said that never more with heI
