Seeing the Invisible
81 DR. TRANK ORANE

C(CIENTISTS not content with showing us how we
can talk along Wire but now of them Dr. Donald
G. Stockbarger, Of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, shows us how we see the invisible.
An automobile headlight for instance cantb apparently
entirely dark, but viii flood the highway with ultraviolet
rays When these rays strike uorescent substance that
substance viii leap into visibility.
In this way the glare Of automobile lights need not be
necessary Even pedestrians fuorescent clothes
that when the violet rays from the automobile headlights
strike them, they win be visible.
Dr. Stockbarger says that all this may by the year
1000 He illustrated his views by showing headlight which
revealed fences bridges and scenery otherwise Invisible
They all glowed when the light thrown upon them
Alexander Graham Bell tried this experemnt over half
century ago, but did not succeed.
1t was also recently shown how human voice could 90
through the ether beam of ultraviolet light By putting
the hand other object into the path Of the light beam the
sound ceased When the obstruction was withdrawn the
speaking commenced again
is suggested that these ultraviolet rays may have quite
influence upon the health and that NAV be

to one of the great meetings Of
the associations for the advance
ment of science" attend the con-
ferences of the different sections
and see how much unity Of speech
and OF action you can find. In a
dozen different rooms simuftane-
ously there arises the murmur of
voices reading papers or reports,
or discussing them: but they are
all talking dialect or ''termin-
ology.L
Talk United States"
Not only the intelligent average
human" wishes they would talk
United States" because something
turks under their lingo that dinly
stirs his interest and curiosity,
but he observes that the casual
visitor from some other section.
Notwithstanding his training in
similar work. looks blank and per.
picked, and seems unable to dis.
Germ the root of the matter under
the unacceptable verbiage any
better than the profane one does.
No doubt narrowly technical
terms and phrases are very con.
veTlient in the workrooms and lab
oratories, but then let them stay
there. To allow them to obtain
such a roofing in the mind that
they drive out the native growths
of expression hampers the powers
Of the victim by cutting him off
from converse with his kind. 1t
Is a vain pretense, a bit Of idle
pedantry, to say that only true
knowledge is uncommunicable in
language known to the average
intelligent mind.
I have never forgotten the re.
mark Of a wise old professor of
my college days who said: Young
men, when anybody is unable to
tell you In common language what
he knows you may conclude that
he doesn't know it"

A NEW BABEL

THE WHOLE earth being of one
i language and one speech,
men bethought them of building, 1
by their united efforts. q tower
whose top should reach heaven.
But, then, says the writer Of
Genesis
1.-THE Lord came down to see
the city and tower which the
children OF men builded. And
the Lord said: Behold the peo-
pie is one, and they have all one
language-and now nothing win
be restrained from them which
they have imagined to do
Go to. let US go down and
confound their language that
they may not understand one an
others speech. So the Lord scat.
tered them abroad from thence
upon the face Of the whole earth,
and they left off to build the
city and the tower"
/ sometimes wonder whether
modern science is not affecting
for itself a similar scattering,
without the Intervention Of a
jealous Lord. Its workers are
piling up, not a great tower of
unified knowledge whose top
might reach 'the highest heaven
of invention" but innumerable
dirt heaps of technical 'nomencla-
ture, often ridiculous in its vain
affectation Of smattering Greek
scholarship, and confusing by its
ingenious distortions of root
meanings.
Language "ConfOunded''
The language of the world of
science thus becomes more ''con-
founded" every day. The grow

desirable residents must show advancement and
opportunities. The smaller cities such as Saul
Centre, in adopting metropolitan air are propa'
eating their growth than in any other way.
Within the last few years, Sank Centre hal
displayed rapid advancement along metropolitan
lines. Paving the streets, the new white way sys-
tenn, installation of water works plant and
the rebuilding of the city's electrical system from
the business streets to the alleys; have modernized
the city and lend a brighter and more industrious
aspect which ultimately will ncite the prospective
resident to locate here.
On the other hand there things done,
which not really essential and many things left
undone which are necessary. For instance the traf-
fc problem is becoming intricate every day
One will readily be reconciled to this fact if he
ventures business streets most any day OF
the week, but especially on Saturday evenings.
