VoU probably are not old
enough to remember the time
when General Pleasanton started
the bIue-glass fad. General Pleas
anton had found that the blue
rays Of light made him feel better.
He gave such glowing reports Of
1t that everybody took it UP by
putting a pane of blue glass in
each sun-exposed window. OF
course, the craze died out because,
as science later proved, there Is a
vast differel- - between rays made
blue by pigmented glass and the
original blue rays, called ultra
violet rays, of sunlight.
Soon after 1t became general
knowledge that sunlight was a.
most important factor in physical
and mental health, it was discov.
cred that the ultraviolet rays we're
of special value. They, although
invisible, are the particular rays
that are responsible for the magic
effects of sunlight. It was also
found that they would not pass
through ordinary glass. This
means that, however sunny our
nurseries and schoolrooms may be,
the light which passes through
whether of clear glass or blue glass
or any other glass, is robbed of
all it's health-giving elements.
The technicians Immediately be-
gan trying to invent some kind of
glass which would not trap the
violet rays. In consequence OF
this there are now number of
glasses on tie market for which
the makers claim these properties.
The American. Medical Association
has recently completed a series of
tests on four Of these; vitaglass
and corning glass, which are said
to be true glasses; celoglass, a
wire mesh screen fitted with a
preparation something like cellu-
loid;. and flexogIass, a thin, loosely
woven cloth treated with a paraffin-
like substance.
Besides the spectroscopic tests,
the glasses were put to the prac-
teal test OF seeing how well chick
ems could be raised under them.
in ultraviolet rays very quickly
show a lung weakness very like
what is called ricketts, in babies,
rabbits or rats. The experiment.
ers tested six groups of birds un.
der identical feeding conditions in
the same laboratory, but put some
under ordinary window glass and
others under the special glasses.
The joints were examined by
X-rays regularly. The result was
striking. Some of the birds raised
under ordinary glass developed a
degree Of ricketts, which did not
need an X.ray photograph for it's
diagnosis, but all those kept un.
der the special glass escaped. This
was in spite of the fact that the
pens did not have a southern as
pect, and that they were big
enough to allow the chicks to
keep out OF the sun If they wished
to.
Vitaglass and corning glass are
as transparent as ordinary glass
and can he used for all purposes;
the other two are not transparent
but are obviously useful for sun
Hrht treatment and stock rearing.
They are less expensive than win
