Seeing Invisible" Light.

MUCH as man prides himself on
his ability to see, his eyes are
sensitive to only very small portion
of the light" or ether vibrations
constantly flooding the world.
Visible light, ranging from the deep
violet with wave-length of sixteen.
millionths of an inch TO deep red with
a wave-length of twenty-eight mil
lionths of an inch, occupies only an oc-
tave of the spectrum of ether vibra-
tions. Our eyes tell us what materials
are opaque and translucent to visible
light.
Shorter than visible light are the
ultraviolet rays with wave-lengths
from one -millionth to sixteen-mil-
lionthS of an inch. These rays affect
Photographic plates markedly and, in
fact, much of the image in ordinary
negatives is due to these rays which
cannot be seen by the eye. They have
also been found to affect the growth
and health of man, animals and plants.
The suns radiation is rich in these
rays, and light from mercury Vapor
lamps in fused quartz containers con-
tains much of these wave-lengths.
Most materials Opaque to visible light
are also barriers to ultra violet light
yet ordinary window glass will not
let it through. The minerals fiuorspar.
to ultraviolet. These rays also have
the property of making some substan-
ces, finger nails for instance, glow
with visible light.
The shortest waves known to man
are the gamma rays of radium, given
off when this wonderful chemical ele-
ment spontaneously disintegrates.
These are even shorter than the hard
X-rays used medically in the treat
ment of cancers and tumors and in
scientific work. Rays from radium
and the Trays created when cathode
rays impinge on solid objects are
very penetrating, passing through skin
and flesh and many other substances
BY allowing them to strike f1uorescent
screens they can be made visible to
the eye and they can also be per-
manently recorded on Photographic
plates.

lI The Sporting Thing to Do
UH
Willing of

Who" he asked calmly, did
Cynthia marry?"
"She hasn't married" said Hugh.
Jimmy sat, two weeks later, on the
veranda talking to Hugh and
Cynthia. He wasn't aware that she
had changed-it was so like that day
10 years earlier. She had changed, or
course. She was 10 years older. She
was a woman. He wondered If she re-
membered that last day-that walk
down the lane between the apple
trees. He knew she did remember 1t.
But he wanted to make sure. He want.
ed her to say she did. And meanwhile
they gossiped about things that didn't
matter.
II think" she said suddenly, that
I'd like to see what the old place is
like before it's dark
She rose and looked out over the
orchard.
You may come with me, Jimmy" "
she said.
Jimmy saw again the avenue Of
gnarled old apple trees that marked
what had once been a farm road lead
ing away from the older part of the
house.
Cynthia paused and pointed, and as
she pointed her shoulder touched his.
THE old trees are still there" she
said.
Il see," Jimmy said.
He couldn't have said another word.
The touch of her shoulder against his
made him dizzy. He tried to think of
words in which to say what he felt
He wondered if he might take her
hand in his. He knew he could OF
course he could. He turned to look at
her.
Her cheek was family flushed, lumi-
nous. Her eyes were pools, clear,
dark, deep. Her eyes contained depth
after depth. He could not look into
her eyes.
Without a word they walked down
the lane. between the apple trees, on
turf fiecked with sunlight, through air
scented with apple blossoms. She
must know he loved her. had always
loved her. She must love him, or she
was Furnishing him cruelty.
They paused, as if by mutual under
standing. at the end of the lane. They
could see the village-white houses in
a thin line along the shore, and the
harbor, and the point reaching out
into the sound. They stood there side
by side, looking at the water. Then
Jimmy turned and looked into her
eyes and she looked back into his.
Quite slowly. quite deliberately, he
took her In his arms. He kissed her.
For a moment he held her close, so
close he could feel her heart beat.
II love YOU" he said, gravely. I've
loved you for 10 years.
Yes" she said. And you still
don't know that l love you"
He decided that night that the only
sporting thing to do was to tell Hugh
that he was in love with Cynthia 1t
was Hugh's right to know, to object.
He told Hugh the next day.
Hugh listened, frowning a little, his
eyes narrowed.
Well" he said. when Jimmy had
finished, what do you want me to
say?"
Il want you-to approve, 1 sup
pose" Jimmy said.
Hmm said Hugh, and paused,
while Jimmy waited
'Ill have to be frank with YOU,
Jimmy" he said. finally.
Il want you to be-" Jimmy said.
Your father was a stonema soma
man who worked with his hands,"
Yes" Jimmy said
And you have made yourself an
architect-I'm not sure you aren't 60
ing to be the best architect in Amer
lea, the one whose work will endure

and definite enough to be well worth
the labor involved.
On the average, Wednesday stood
well above the rest of the week. 1t
got first place in five of the nine tests,
and although it made a poor showing
in the addition and comprehension
tests, its average was quite bit above
Tuesday, which finished in second
place.
The students did their poorest men
tai work on Saturday. 1t was IA close
battle for cellar position between Sat
urday and Sunday, but when the
smoke cleared Saturday was resting
on the bottom.
One curious thing was that the best
work on both of the addition tests
was done on Tuesday. So if you have
difficult mathematical problem to
untangle, you might do we'll to pick
that day instead of Wednesday,
The most erratic of days was Mon
day. At one time or another among
the nine tests it occupied every posi-
ton in the scale except third place.
1t proved an especially bad day for
memory work-the low marks for the
students in three of the memory tests
were found to be on Monday.
No less interesting were the re-
suits when work done at different
hours of the day was computed.
Eight O'Clock in the morning was
found to be the hour when the aver
age student mentality was sharpest.
1t had a decisive lead over 10 am,
which showed up next best. The men,
tai power of the students apparently
diminished steadily through the morn
ing and afternoon, until at pm. it
reached its low mark. There was a
noticeable pickup from then on, and
9 pm, surprisingly enough, was a
better hour than s pm. After 9
O'Clock, however, a decline set in
again, and the days tests closed at 10
pm, very near the low mark of 4
O'Clock.
1t will be remembered that the
mathematics tests had "a special day
Tuesday-on which the best results
were obtained. Likewise, in compar-
ing the different hours of the day, it
was found that mathematics had a
special hour all it's own. This hour
was 1 o'clock-both the simple and

If he were half man he would go
out to Round Hill and carry her off
like young Lochinvar.
Jimmy walked out on the court with
a tight smile. Hugh had won the toss.
He had chosen to serve. Jimmy stood
just inside his own base line-which
meant that he was going TO take
Hugh's service on the rising bound.
He saw Hugh toss the ball, saw his
racket swinging, marked the slice, saw
the ball coming, saw Hugh running
in. He could lob, of course. But he
didn't. He did what he had never
been able to Go against Hugh before.
He hit the ball with everything he
had. The ball shot down the side
line, fiat and fast, passed Hugh,
struck just inside the backhand cor
ner. Jimmy had taken the chance
and won. He took the match in
straight sets.
Hugh came running toward the net
after that last sizzling drive cross
court to shake hands. Jimmy saw
that he was glad. For a fraction of
a second Jimmy shrank from that
handshake, from the thing he had to
say. Then he smiled TO himself He
was no longer afraid. His Vain
wright complex was gone.
Jimmy" Hugh said, shes yours.
Jimmy looked Hugh straight in the
eye as he shook hands. For the first
| time in his life he felt quite simply
and easily Hugh's equal.
Il know she is, Hugh" he said.
I'VE We're married in BriXton yester-
day afternoon"
You mean you eloped?"
Yes" Jimmy said quietly, I'VE
did"
After I'd said | wanted you to
beat me al tennis first-after every
| thing l said
Yes" Jimmy said.
Hugh slowly held out his hand
again.
Will you shake hands again, Jim
my?" he asked.

do everything with the least
possible trouble and the great
est possible saving. But there was a
very important question which he and
question has at last been tackled by
scientists in a thoroughly systematic
manner.
1t is, in brief, as follows: Does the
average man, in the long run, do bet
ter work on any one day of the week
than he does on other days? Is Sun
day a better day than Thursday? Can
you get more done on Tuesday than
you can on Friday? Again, is there
any one hour of the day at which the
mind is the most active? Is 10 o'clock
at night better for mental activity
than o'clock in the afternoon? Can
we accomplish more around 9 O'Clock
in the morning than we can around 8
o'clock in the evening?
In place of guesswork, DR.. Donald
Laird and his assistants in a series of
interesting experiments in the psy-
Geological laboratory of Colgate Uni
versity, have used systematic tests
with numerous college students. Un-
covering many facts hitherto un-
known, they have found, among. va
rious things, the tests indicate that:
l. The average mind works at it's
highest pitch on Wednesdays, with it's
low mark on Saturdays.
2. The hour at which the most can
be accomplished is o'clock in the
morning; the poorest hour for work is
in the afternoon.
1t must be admitted that DIR. Laird
was embarking on an uncharted sea
when he started out to discover the
answers to those questions propound-
ed above. How could he find the an
swers? A correct method of testing
was absolutely necessary, else the
final statistics would be unreliable and
Evening star., 1925-05-24

difficult additions were done more rap
idly at this time than at any other.
Just why this should be so, DIR. Laird
does not attempt to explain.
Indeed, he does not try to deduce
any special theory from his work at
all. lie has conducted the tests on a
scientific basis, he has tabulated the
results, and shows them to the world
for what they may be worth. The i'm
portance of his achievement lies in
the fact that his is evidently the first
test of its kind to be made so thor
oughly. The fact that his work has
given clear-cut results lends color to
the hope that we may soon know far
more about our weekly and daily
cycles of mental activity than it was
ever deemed possible to ascertain.
