Electrical Relics of
 Early Days Exhibited

New Haven, April A Pl-An Edl- son dynamo used in about 1899 and q. model of the first electric car for freight hauling in this state are on exhibition in the Dunham labora- tory, Yale unveirsity. this week. The dynamo is the gift of James Lyman. Shelf 'S3, and the model is the gift of L. S. Storrs
 Both are interesting as examples of early electrical engineering. The dynamo was probably used for tele- graph work, according to Durham officials. in the regular circuit in 1889. while the electrical freight haulcr was used in 18SS and 1899 from Derby 10 Ansonta.
 The original freight hauler had the appearance of q trolley express car from the exterior. The motor which operated if was in the exact center with q pit for the operator 10 stand in at each end. In order to reverse the car it was necessary to reverse the brushes on the motor. The car was 8 feet long and seven feet high from rail to roof.

NEW INSTRUMENT
 ID MEASURE RAYS
Healing Effect Of Sun Is Scien-
 tiHCaIly Calculated

Tucson, Ariz,. April 24 P}--A simple instrument-compared with others for the same purpose-has been perfected for measuring the in density of the healing rays of the sun by Dr. E. Petit of the Mt, Will son Observatory staff of the Carnegie institution,
 The apparatus will be installed in the Desert sanatorium here by Dr. T. T, MacDougal of she Carnegie Desert Laboratory,
 ''The instrument apparatus is capable of great precision and will Iprove invaluable in studying the benefits of various light waves to Ipatients," said Dr. MacDougal. "It consists essentially Of small cham i Der containing a thcrmocouple sensi- tive 10 the short rays. The chamber lis mounted on an astronomical clock which focuses a tubular lens open ling directly on the sun throughout 1 the day. A continuous graphic record | is kept. The machine needs virtually ! no HLltli4Ol NItiEdS llIt Spttll O- sconic methods of measuring the rays require constant attention"
 pr, MacDougal explained that the necessary element in the fnstru- mants construction is an extremely thin layer of silver deposited upon a sheet of quartz used as a lens. The silver coating of the right thickness permits only the short rays to pass and affect the thermocouple, A re- cording galranometcr attached 10
 this puts the findings in graphic
 form.
 "In addition 10 registering the con- stantly changing intensities of the short rays" Dr. MacDougal added, i the instrument similarly will record
 the green light rays, giving basis of Icomparison valuable to the astrono-
 mcr and which may have a signifi- canoe. not yet determined, to the 1 physiologist."
