IS ARTIFICIAL SUN
Invention Of Scientists for Puri-
fication of Water.
Is Claimed to Have Much the Same
Effect as That Produced by the
Rays Of the sun--ln Use
In Europe.

II has long been known that water
allowed to flow over bed Of sand, a
natural filter, and subjected to the
suns rays, soon becomes free from
harmful bacteria. The powerful ster-
liking effect of the SUMS 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 ef-
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 test.
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-sterilized 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 bacilli in the
water there and also the ameba, which
abound in practically all tropical wa
tiers.
The rays, it is said, may also be
used for purifying the waters of pub
lie baths and their use will be espe
cially valuable in keeping the water
of swimming pools pure and free from
lurking danger of germs. The cost
of the apparatus is comparatively low
an outfit of $50 gallons per hour
capacity costing in the neighborhood
of 5000. Cost of operation is slight
where electric current is available,
and the operation of the machine does
not require a high degree of skill.
Further use for the invention will
be found in purifying water for the
manufacture of artificial ice, in bot.
ting works and other industries, in
which the purity of water used should
be an important consideration. Elk.
periments are now being made to find
a means for adopting the rays to the
sterilization of milk and it is thought
that such an apparatus making use OF
the ultraviolet principle will ultimate
ly be evolved.

The Princess Islands.

The Princess islands, in the Sea OF
Marmora, now said to have been forti-
fed, as the last defense of CONSTANT
nople, have been a place of exile in
all ages. In Byzantine times the saw

nunnery upon Prinkipo, the chief is

revolution the worst officials Of the
Yildiz gang were interned here. though
they were politely termed guests OF

The Result.

Russia has done away with vodka,
France has done away with absinthe
and England thinks about doing away
with beer for the duration of the war,
English beer, you know, is almost as
powerful as absinthe or vodka, any
way"
The speaker was an English pur-
chasing agent now visiting New York.
But England is very much attached
to her potent beer" he went on, "and
it viii be very, very hard for her TO
give it up. At the Marble Arch before

This is No Joke.

We often hear the remark, 'I was
so frightened that my hair stood on
end" This expression has been
laughed at, as if too foolish to be
true. But il is true. The hair follicle
lies in the scalp at an angle of about
forty-five degrees. Thus the hair lies
nat on the head. Now, let one be-
come suddenly startled. The sensa-
ton is that the hair is standing-and
It is. The little muscle that controls
the follicle contracts and draws the
hair follicle to a perpendicular posi-
ton, and, therefore, the hair stands
erect.

Prohibition Will Not
Be Settled in England
Until Parliament Meets
BY Associated Press

London. April S, 1886 p. M.-The
cabinet having failed to come to a
decision on the drink question, no set
tiement is expected until parliament
meets next week. The impression is
growing that the government will con-
tent itself with bringing in measure
prohibiting the saloon spirits. Even
this step will not be exclusively gov
eminent policy. since nothing can be
done without consultation with other
parties.
II proposing the prohibition of the
saloon spirits and possibly wine and
lessening the strength of beer Great
Britain would be following the foot
steps of Russia, which before the
adoption of toal prohibition forbade
the manufacture or use of spirits.
Even the prohibition of the traffic
in spirits is not likely to be adopted
without considerable opposition from
the vested interest. Its latest recruits
include the heads of various churches.
who have signed a pledge to abstain
from Intoxicating liquors during the
war.
Opposition to the suppression of the
use of spirits is in some degree sec
tiOnal. since Scotland consumes per
capita three times as much spirits as
England and half again as much as
Ireland. Scottish opposition. if solid,
might easily cause the defeat of the
measure.
