lengths of light. When mixed they make
white; which is why daylight has no color.
TIL light waves in the ~colorless sunbeam
are 1-4O, 900 of an inch longer. Light,
travels $4,000 miles a second. You may
thus figure out the number of waves per
second that strike the retina of your eye.
But, when the sun-ray is split up by the
prism, only a SINAI part of it is made visible
to the eye. Above the violet brand and
below the red band extend for long relative
distances parts of the ray which have wave
lengths too short or too long to be per-
ceived by the retina. In other words, what
we call light is a response of the retina of
the eye to a narrow range of wave lengths.
Below the red are the long waves which
are used for wireless telegraphy. Some of
them are 10000 miles or more in length.

TIE Government Bureau of Standards is
l. making experiments with the newly
discovered "soft" X-rays, which, it ap-
pears, are likely to prove of practical USE
fulness for many purposes. There is almost
a suggestion of magic in the power of the
long familiar X-rays to pass through solid
bodies that are Opaque to ordinary light.
The soft ones do not pass SO freely, and
some of them will not pass at all.
To grasp the meaning of this, one should
understand something Of the makeup of a
light ray-let us say, a ray of sunlight.
The ray is not composed of matter; it is
simply a path along which energy is trans
lated. Pass it through a glass prism, and
it splits up into a rainbow of colors,
with violet at one end and red at the other.
These colors represent different wave

Doll That Swims

TOGETHER a novelty is a swimming
"A doll which owes Its invention to Albert
L. Fierlein, Of Batavia, III. 1t can dive.
and cuts all sorts of capers in the water.
In the body of the manikin (Which is made
of woody is a hollow chamber that extends
up into the head. Similar chambers are pro-
vided in the upper arms, the forearms, the
thighs and the lower legs. In these cavities
small quantities of lead shot are placed.
The arms are pivoted at the shoulders and
elbows; the legs likewise at the hips and
knees. Thus the doll is jointed, and the
limbs may be made to assume any position
desired. They have, however, a fractional
grin sufficient to hold the joints fixed when
set. If the manikin is to dive, the arms
and legs are adjusted suitable for that ac-
ton. Then, when it is plunged into water
the shot in the body and head chamber
e,ravitate to the upper end thereof, and it
sinks head foremost until, as it resumes the
horizontal, the head rises; the shot presently
falling into the lower part of the body cavity
and causing the doll to ascend on a slant to
the surface like a real diver.

"Soft' X-Rays May Prove New Surgical Aid

Those commonly employed for radio work
are about 1000 miles long.
Above the violet band are the chemical
rays, upon which the work Of the photog-
rapher depends. Go up higher, a long
way, and you come to the wonderful X-rays
which can pass through human flesh and
show the bones. They will penetrate any
solid substance, but pass less easily through
bones than through flesh, and SO the bones
are shown in a ':skiagraph" as distinct
shadows.
The X-rays hav this seemingly magical
power because their wave lengths are e1-
tremely %short-only 10000 of the wave
lengths perceived by the eye as light. Being
so short, they are able, SO to speak, to
wriggle through objects that are opaque to
ordinary light. Less high up are found the
'soft'' X-rays, with longer wave lengths.
To SOM of them all substances are Opaque.
Others, lying between these and the ''hard''
X.rays, promise to be of great value in
surgical work.
Suppose, for example, that a person was
suffering from gallstones. TIL ordinary
X-rays would pass through them almost as
easily as through the surrounding tissues,
and SO they would not show up plainly in .
skiagraph. But the gallstones would be
opaque to the ''soft'' ones, and, if rays OF
the requisite degree of %softness were used,
a satisfactory picture of them would be
obtained. 1t is thought that skin cancers
and certain lesser diseases of the skin may
be treated to advantage with the ''soft'
X-rays, which have the great advantage Of
not being dangerous.

Planes Hunt Fish
THE airplane service Of the United State

THE airplane service of the United States
l Fisheries Bureau has proved especially
useful in locating, for the benefit of fish
ermen, the menhaden, which travel about
in schools numbering millions at the sur
face Of the sea, their presence being indi-
Gated by a widespread ripping. Mem
baden are not good to eat, but their oil
has high commercial value, and, after 1t
has been pressed out, the residue makes
an excellent fertilizer. During the last
year the production Of menhaden oil in
this country was $3.50, 453 gallons. This
was more than the output Of whale oil,
which was 3,073,5 74 gallons. The pro.
duction Of herring oil was $50, $40 gal.
Ions, and of cod liver oil 1876 ,1OS gallons.
Other oils Of marine origin, including tina,
derived from sharks livers Commonly
sold y eod-liver oil), totaled I,08O,322
gallons.

Birds Rob
Chickens

NY observant person may notice tnat
"A sparrows are no longer numerous in the
streets of our cities. 1t is because food Is
lacking. The sparrows, thus driven from
their urban haunts, have sought to pick up
n living in the suburbs and outlying farming
districts. They have become a very serious
nuisance to poultry ~raisers, especially IN
winter, when they invade chicken yards in
flocks and even make themelves at home
in poultry houses, devouring the feed pro-
yided for the fowls.
It is no trihing matter, for fifty sparrows
will eat a quart of grain per day and will
spoil three times as much as they consume.
But the chief trouble is that they spread
disease, particularly the dreaded chickenpox.
Not long ago, by the way, there was an cpl
demic of foot and mouth disease among
cattle at the Chicago stockyards, and it
could not be stamped out until every spar
row had been shot or trapped.
Poultry keepers find themselves obliged to
make their chicken houses sparrow proof
with wire net. Many of\them have resorted
to systematic trapping. Sparrows are easily
trapped and can be skinned with a mere
twist of the fingers. Thus dealt with. and
with the wings and legs pulled off, they
make, when boiled, most excellent food for
chickens.

Cross-B Breeding of Fishes

OUCCESS obtained in crossing the rain

attempt to cross the striped bass with the
shad would be an absurdity, inasmuch as
they represent different finny orders.
In Lake Eric there is occasional scarcity
Of ripe male whiteish at the season when
the females are ready to spawn. This has
led now and then to the use of the milt of
the lake, herring (another genus of the
whitefsh' tribe) for fertilizing whitefsh
eggs; and it is said that, as a result, half
breeds are becoming rather plentiful in
those waters, distinguishable by the long
lower jaw which they inherit from their
daddies.
1t is suggested that the dog salmon (of
minor Importance commercially might be
crossed with the much esteemed ''sockeye''
to combine the flavor Of the latter with the
greater size of the former. If such an

a fine pond for fish culture can be made by
digging out a marsh to a depth of four or
five feet, covering the bottom with gravel
and sinking planks edgewise for banks. The
Fisheries Bureau says that a one-acre pond
ought to yield 5000 pounds of Ssh annually,
if properly managed. At ten cents a pound
that would mean $500 a year.
