Cold Blue Light Hope of Long
Centuries, Is NoW Demonstrated
Many Years May Pass Before the Value of Discovery Can Be
Commercalized BY Science-Long
Search is Rewarded.

give on light Is The discovery made
BY DR.. Harvey. who IN the expert
ment described above had DUPLICATED
the process. II consists Of adding
oxygen 20 the protein known az
".uclferin."
Several more years probab bly, viii
be spent in research before the light
can be proved 10 have commercial
possibilities. II is now in the real OF
pure science.
There are at least 40 OF so animals
and insects that give of light, or
luminescene. that has no heat and
it was in the study OF these that DIT.
Harvey sought 10 find the answer 70
a problem that has perplexed scien-
lists for decades. Re concluded that
II he could hnd what made the freely
flcker, he would have the formula
for creating cold lights-that radi-
ance produced by light rays between
the wave lengths Of mira red and
those Of ultara violet.
The phosph that IS found
in decaying meat and other putres-
cent substances was the very first
with which the doctor tried 10 work
but he found il could not he used
in sufficient quantity 10 be OF much
use.
Not the Solution.
He then travelled into the fields
and byways about Princeton and col
Iected hrefiies. which he brought
into his laboratory. The task OF find
ing in these diminutive insects the
course OF their light proved too
much for him. II was then he
thought OF the frefies of japan,
that are so large and numerous that
the Japanese collect them and put
them in cages. At certain time OF
the year there are festivals at which
these imprisoned insects are taken
on lakes, amid scenes OF indesciba-
bic beauty. and released in swarms
OF briIliance.
Accordingly he travelled 10 Japan,
stopping a. the Dutch East Indies 10
collect some specimens OF little
fish found only there, known as the
heron. that has a large
organ below its eyes
that shines continuously with a
green light. and which is covered at
times by a I'D like that Of an eye.
This fish proved OF little use. and so
did the firefies OF japan.
DR.. Harvey stopped in Japan at
Uodzu. near Toyama. where facili-
ties for his work were provided. and
upon giving up work with firefies
turned 70 luminous squid. a small
hsh that has eight tentacles like
those Of an octopus, and in two OF
which are luminous organs. They
are known as Hotaru-Ika, or FREELY
squid They did not prove satisfac-
tory.
The satisfactory object found by
him was the Cypridina, a crustacean
about an eighth Of an inch long
that lives at the bottom Of the sea
and comes 10 the surface at night.
These he found 10 have a proror-
-ionately great amount OF luminous
material. and 10 be obtainable in
such numbers that he could make
effective progress.
The Combination Found.
In them he found two similar
proteins, luciferin and lucipherase.
Each was composed Of carbon. by
drogen, oxygen. nitrogen and sui
phur though IN exactly what
com bination has not been discover
I'd. When the luciferin combined
with oxygen II shone turning into a
substance called oxyluciferin. The

HIGHEST WHEAT
 PRICES ON PRESENT
 BULL SWELL LISTED
Wheat, Corn and Oats All Go Upward in the Chicago Grain Pit Trading
 Yesterday
By AssocIated Press

Chicago, January 2S.-Highest wheat prices on the present bull swell were recorded today and the closing level was at the top of the day. There was free selling when s1.17h for May was reached, but after these offerings were finally absorbed the market advanced fast. At Sl.1S there was a renewal of pressure from com mission houses. partly to cover shorts May wheat made a net gain of lac to 1sc, corn was up F a 3, c; oats were r. higher. while provisions were higher with hogs.
 Liverpool surprised the trade with the buying of futures here and there was belief in some quarters that foreigners were commencing to be- come uneasy over future supplies. Another feature of the day was the big bulge in the Argentine market. which was attributed largely to an advance in exchange equal to sc a bushel.
 The May-July spread widened out 10 more than l4c difference. the greatest thus far on this upturn.
 Less favorable reports coming from the Argentine had an influence on corn which also reflected the strength in wheat.
 oats were affected by the action of other grains and averaged higher. The domestic demand was only fair. Provisions were more active.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
 Rv Associafed Press

New Orleans, January 2S.-Higher
 prices ruled in the cotton market to-
 day and the tone was very steady
 from the opening. Covering of the short interest and fresh buying for
 long account were responsible tor
 this and were stimulated by reports of rather extensive price fixing by foreign spinners, by reports of sharp rise in the price of Egyptian cotton improved conditions in Egyp- ftion politics and the rumor that the Bombay boycott had been lifted. Oc- tober became the strongest month on the boards following the receipt Of messages from Texas, indicating that
 a determined effort was under way to hold down the planting of cotton ana to stimulate the raising of food an feed products At the highest of the day March stood at 15 65c and octo- Der at IA 95c, at which levels the list was a gain of 22 to 35 points. The close was at gains of IT to 27 points, with March at 15 soc and October al

 Prices were shaded toward the close l on reports from New England to iocai brokerage concerns that union or fcials had authorized strikes among | cotton mills where wage cuts had

 would be shipped out of the New or leans stock to New York to go on i contract there were regarded as un-

Foreign Exchanges Feature Past Week
 In Financial World
Rx A..nclated presa

New York, January 2s.-The most significant feature of another un- certain week in the financial markets, according to prominent banking in terests, was the strength of leading foreign exchanges. The sharp ad- vance in British bills and the concur rent recovery of the French rate were accepted as proof of improvement in the general European situation.
 Plans to combine various companies in the steel, copper, equipment, oil and sugar trades. together with the op- erations of pools, furnished the fluc- tuation of very large part of the irregular movement of stocks.
 Many of the old line Issues of the railroad and industrial divisions were neglected for new favorites. Gulf States Steel registered further wide fluctuations, but interest in that is- sue waned perceptibly, after publica- tion of the company's annual state ment.
 Davidson Chemical was among the few stocks of recent prominence to hold the greater part of It's gain. Bethlehem also was exception to the general trend of industrIals, its firm m- ness resulting from the favorable pre- unlnary statement or I9Zl ana the aVowed intention of the corporation to expend $25,000, 900 in the current year.
 Trading in rails was dull at best and frequent reactions, although earnings showed improvement, labor conditions were more hopeful and Washington advices were indicative of retention of the present freight rate schedules
 Firmer money rates were regarded as logical sequence to withdrawals of local reserves by interior banks to meet February payments and prep arations for cron moving require ments. That no actual stringency is expected however, was evidenced by free offerings of time funds at 4h to>4si per cent.
 Aside from numerous small domes- tic underwritings and the department of the Seine (France) $25.000.000 is- sue, the bond market developed nc features of interest. United States war flotations were depressed or

Export of Metals Was Good the Past Week;
 Steel Market Slow
By Associated Press

New York, January 2s.-The volume of new business in the steel market { 1t not impressive from the point of production. The market Is about holding it's own and the trade is very confident that conditions are shaping themselves for an improvement. Ex- port sales are larger. with an in creased demand both rom Japan and the far east as well as from South America. Domestic buyers are hold ing off. partly on account of un- certainty over freight rates.
 Pig iron is quiet and while prices are not much changed, the tone of the market is unsettled. Competition is keen for new business especially for orders of more than ordinary di- mensions.
 In the copper market no improve ment has been reported during the week.
 A little business has been out through the export association for shipment to Germany and France at prices equal to about 14c c. i. f. Euro pean ports. Otherwise no revival of export interest has been noted and very few buyers for domestic con- sumption have been in the market. Competition for the small business offering has led to price shading by second hands and some of the small producers. So far as can be learned however, the larger interests are not pressing for business and are holding their quotations fully up to the 14c ] level.
 Tin has been weaker in response to l heavy selling by Chinese interests
 and consequent weakness in London and Singapore. Domestic dealers and 1 operators became buyers on Thurs , day but consuming interests are not in the market.
 Lead is quiet with producers pretty ! well sold up to the end of February and asking premiums for March and ! April deliveries.
 For zinc there is very little demand | from consumers and with competition 1 keen, prices are the lowest since last | fall.

 Cable advices from Cairo said that conditions were much improved and that there had been recoveries in the Egyptian market. There was no inn provement in the news from Manches- ter where mill curtailment is said to be increasing, but there was prob ably some buying here late In the morning on belief that Liverpool would be influenced by better Bom- bay and Egyptian reports on Mon day morning.

WHITE MEN SENTENCED

Troy, January 2S. = Especially = Much comment was caused here the past week by the fact that a number of white men were sent from here to work on the road gang. Most of these men were taken up for unlaw- fully riding on trains. Some of the men were said to be hunting for work and needed help for their fam lilies. Judge Key stated that some of the men told him they were glad to be sent to work on the roads as that insured shelter. food and cloth ing, something they had not been sure of for some time.
