~ ERFECTION of secret illumination
signal. involving the use Of invisible
ultraviolet rays, which promises to
revolutionize future military and naval oper-
ations at night, was described by Prof.
Robert w. Wood of Johns Hopkins Univer
sity. Initial tests with this marvellous lam
tern by experts of the United States Navy
were reported successful. and possibility of
greater service to humanity in the realm
of medical science was predicted as a result
of experiments conducted In a London hos
pital.
BY utilization of this important instrument
and the principle of phosphorescence, which
1t involves British physicians have been able
to detect diseases before they have become
apparent under ordinary tests. 1t has been
used successfully in hospitals specializing in
the treatment OF cancer and for diagnosing
pathological conditions in body tissues.
Two of the new lamps were exhibited at
night, and the auditorium was flooded with
invisible ultraviolet rays. Faces in the
audience became luminous with CHASTITY
phosphorescent light. The eyes assumed
lavender hue. The whites shone with an
uncanny brightness. Natural teeth sparked
like crystals. False teeth remained appar-
emily black. Different dress materials phos-

record well worthy of preservation:
TIME relations of LOO American sa-
wants were renewed at the recent
convention of the Association for
the Advancement of Science held at the
University of Chicago, from December 2s
to 81, in a series Of addresses and discus
sions which focused on many of the latest
and most interesting inventions, develop
ments and ideas in the scientific world.
Prof. A. A. Nicholson of the University of
Chicago announced the perfection of a de-
vice for ascertaining the exact dimensions
OF stellar bodies. BY the use of this device,
DR.. Nicholson said, 1t was ascertained only a
few weeks ago that the star Alpha Orionus
had a diameter 500 times as large as the
sun and a volume of 900 times as
great. The announcement aroused intense
interest among scientists everywhere.
A despatch from Washington quotes Prof
Asaph Hall Of the Naval Observatory there
as saying that the observations made at the
Mount Wilson Observatory, through prac-
teal application of the Nicholson device,
were taken on the large new reflector which
has been installed there within the last
year.
Prof. Hall said the device worked out by
Prof Nicholson is beautiful piece of scien-
tific work. both from the standpoint of phys
ical phenomena and in it's practical applca-
tion to astronomical observations Prof.

HR. GEORGE F. KUNz. president of
the American Scenic and Historic
- Preservation Society, gave an adj
dress on the subject, international Eco
nomic Importance Of Precious Stones In
Times Of War and Revolution"
Almost from time immemorial gold and
silver have been acknowledged as the stand
ard precious metals" said DIR. Kunz. For
twenty five centuries they have been used in
coinage. varying from gold at eight times to
forty-five times the value Of silver, and now
receding to about fifteen times. Up to the
present time $1,000, 900, 900 in gold has been
mined, Of which $5 1000, 100000 has been lost,
leaving $12, 900, 100000 in circulation and in
the arts. There are now in the governmental
treasures or in banks approximately $9,00O.-
100000 worth. Treasures Of gold have been
found in earthen pots, dating from five CEN
turies before Christ, which are absolutely as
they were when just from the mint.
although at various times in various
parts Of the world corn, rice, rocksalt, cocoa
nuts, dates, shells. sharks teeth and
wampum have been used as mediums of ex-
change, they had only local value and
were not international. The paper moneys
of the world have little durability and there
is scarcely a paper note known that has
held it's value for more than century.
Even our own Colonial bills. and bills of
the Confederate States have no value other
than to an antiquarian. On the other hand.
precious stones in all times have been
priced as objects OF universal value that
can be transported in great value with the
least possible bulk. This has been well
demonstrated in the world war and the af-
termath of the war, for there are many
instances on record in which precious stones
were the only objects Of value that refugees
could take with them. While lacking a
fixed value, such as a coin or a banknote
they could be converted into money in any
country.
"As precious stones exist to the value OF
81, 900 900 they have a considerable ecu-
nomic importance, especially in times of war
and stress"
