light, while transmitting the infra-red.
BY infra-red rays the sky appears black
as midnight and foliage snow-whte. The
shadows are intensely black, because
most of the light comes directly from the
sun.
The moon is dead arid body, covered
with vast volcanic craters, on which it is
supposed life has long ceased to exist.
Some scientists, however, have argued
for the existence of lower forms of life
there. The ultraviolet rays have re.
vealed things on the moon not known
before
Using a large telescope and excluding
all but violet rays, Professor Wood
photographed the extinct lunar crater,
Aristarchus. The picture revealed dark
patch near the crater not hitherto seen.
1t suggests deposit Of some hitherto un
known substance.
Next photographs of Saturn and Jupiter
were made under infra-red, yellow, violet
and ultraviolet light with the great
Mount Wilson telescope.
Both Saturn and Jupiter are surround.
ed by belts which are a great puzzle TO
astronomers. These belts vanish almost
completely when photographed with
infra-red light. When ultraviolet light
is used broad dark belt surrounds each
planet and large dark polar cap ap-
pears. Variations in the intensity of the
inner and outer rings OF Saturn are also
shown in the different photographs.
Professor Wood suggests that the belts
are due to chlorine gas. which absOrbs
violet and ultraviolet light powerfully
and is transparent to yellow light.
Professor Wood also took some photo
graphs Of electric sparks which revealed
some new facts about these phenomena
These proved" the professor said that
the electric spark gives off some form OF
radiant emission which makes the ar
around it glow with light invisible to
the eye. The spark passed between a
rod Of metal and metal plate placed
above it, perforated with a small hole.
THE emission passed through this
hole. and if the quite dark Ito the eye)
region above were photographed with
glass lens, nothing appeared upon tie

When, however the camera was fitted
with lens Of quartz, an image was Sc
cured resembling the tail of a comet, and
the spectroscope showed that the light

1t has long been evident to naturalists
that many animals could see things that
we're quite invisible to human eyes. Not
only is their sight kecner, but in many
cases they appear to perceive objects or
conditions with their eyes that cannot be
detected by man, even with the strongeet
glasses.
1t is now believed that these powers of
animals may be due to their ability TO
see infra-red or ultraviolet rays. The
case is somewhat like that of human
beings with abnormaly sensitive ears,
who are able to perceive musical tones
not commonly employed in music.
For instance, the peculiar eyes OF the
insects apparently give them power to
see various types Of rays not visible to
u.s. Many insects have several pairs
of eyes. The common flies have COM

T HERE arc rays OF light in the uni
verse which man cannot see.
These are, briefly speaking, the
ultraviolet and the infra-red rays. But
they can be seen by mechanical devices
and probably by other animals.
When things are seen by these invisi
BILE rays the world takes on different
aspect Coors change, shadows disap-
pear and even things that were not
known to exist may be seen. Here,
therefore, is a method Of discovering
some of the hidden secrets of nature and
the universe.
Professor Robert W. Wood. professor
of experimental physics in Johns Hop
kins University, has made remarkable
series OF experiments III photographng
objects with invisible rays.
In the first place, it is necessary TO
understand the nature of these rays.
They are comparable TO the vibrations of
sound. We all know that vibrations at
a lower rate than sixteen to second are
mere noises, at a higher speed than that
they become musical tones and above
the treble they become inaudible
Similarly low vibrations of light mani
fest themselves AS red colors and high
vibrations as violet hues. Above the
violet are the ultraviolet rays which can
not be seen by the human eye, and be.
low the red are the equally invisible in
frarcd.
The senstized plate of The photo.
graphic camera is responsive to vibra-
tions that do not reach the eye. In
order to see the world with invisible
ultraviolet rays something better than
glass must be used, for glass is almost
as opaque to them as a plate OF sheet
iron. Quartz has been used by Professor
Wood, because this substance is trans
parent to them. A quartz lens has been
fashioned by him for the camera. To
exclude all but violet rays from the lens
filter must be employed through which
only the ultraviolet rays will pass, just
as only red rays will pass through red
glass.
Professor Wood discovered that an
aniline dye, called Observation-Disclosures
line. would exclude all but the ultra
violet rays. Thin films Of silver are also
serviceable, as we'll as the vapor Of brom-
inc in rectangular transparent cell.
White ink made from Chinese white
and written on white paper is practically
invisible to our eyes. Photograph it with
ultraviolet rays and it appears quite dis.
tinct.
Landscapes photographed by ultra
violet rays reveal no shadows, because
the rays come mainly from the particles
OF dust all about us and not directly from
the sun. Everything seems in mist.
Garden flowers which are white in the
sun become almost black by ultraviolet
rays. There are amazing differences IN
various apparently equivalent forms OF
white. White geraniums, for instance,
photograph much lighter than white
phloX.
In dealing with infra-red rays (Which
are also the heat rays) the scientist uses
glass lens, but also color filter which
