INSECTS, IN VIOLET RAY,
SEE FURTHER THAN MAN
University of Colorado Professor
Discusses Power of Sight De-
spite Color-Blindness.
Ry the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo, December 2o.
Although insects are color blind,
recent experiments indicate they may
have a range of vision in the violet
ray, invisible TO the human eye.
Flowers of different hues apparently
have characteristic ultra violet radi-
ations and thus seem identical to the
insect, says a paper of Frank T.. T..
Germann, professor of chemistry at
the University of Colorado, for the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science, which meets here
December % to January ..
There was at one time theory,
says the scientist, that flowers were
beautifully colored to attract insects.
with the ultimate idea of cross pollen
ization. This was a fine theory, had
not some one proved that insects are
color blind.
"A biologist not long ago tested his
theory of the violet ray. The biolo
gist captured some flies and took them
to a physicist, who placed them In
test tubes exposed only to ultra violet
rays. The flies went toward the
source of the ultra violet light"
Prof. Germann then explained how
by examining with a microscope the
pollen on the legs of insects it is
possible to learn what flowers the in
sects visit. 1t became apparent. he
added. that flowers do have character
istic ultra violet radiations.

wouldn't 1t be fine to remove the

aboard 5000 students and professors
and go from continent to continent,
studying daily as they would at home?
Their cargo could be exchanged for
foreign exports, and the expenses of
the voyage largely betrayed in this
trading.
Perhaps there would be an earth
quake in Greece. The ship would go
there and leave provisions. A famine

IF we could send our college stu

send their university ships to us, and
real world fellowship and complete

TESTS SHOW ALCOHOL
"INTOXlCATES" FLOWERS
Six Poppy Buds Made Tipsy Like

BERKELEY, Calf, December 25.-
Alcohol has much the same erect on
flowers that it has on human beings,
members of the botany faculty at the
University of California have learned.
Six California poppy buds were
used in an experiment. They were
placed in jars containing liquids vary
ing from straight water to whisky.
The only flower to bloom was the
one in the water. The others became
tipsy and leaned over the edges of
their glasses-not wilted, but just in
a stupor, varying in the degree of un
consciousness with the amount of
liquor. Later poisons were introduced
and their effects marked.
Photographs of this work were
taken by Alfred E. Pillsbury, using a
movie machine plus camera for the
stills. A microscopic lens and a syn
chronizing motor were included in the
equipment.
