PLANTS GROWN
J UNDER GLASS
Blue Lens Placed In Green
house For Effect Of
Light Rays

YONKERS, n. Y, July 26.-(R)-
A blue glass lens abe the diam
eter Of a small sofa cushion has
been installed in a blue glass green
house at the Boyr. Thompson in
stitute for plant research to observe
the effects Of blue light on living
plants.
Tie lens is being used this sum
mer for the first time. Its mission
is the study Of plant life, but in
the background is the possibility Of
finding out more than has been
known heretofore about the effects
of Nlue rays upon living things.
The work is under direction Of Or.
John M. Arthur.
Glass in Ckylight
The big burning glass is inset in
the skylight Of q light room COW
cred wholly by special blue glass.
This glass removes all the red rays.
Some green rays are transmitted
along with the blue. Plants were
grown in this blue room before in
stallation Of the lens, and they grew
well.
But these blue light plants were
smaller and Of lighter weight than
normal. They tended to be dwarfs.
To the scientists this did not mean
necessarily that the colors Of blue
and green rays were responsible for
this effect. These colors are not
as bright as other sunlight COM
ponents-they lack the intensity OF
red and yellow, and tbs lack might
account for the smaller growth.
The lens was put in to offset this
lack Of intensity. BY its cOncen-
trating effect blue rays are gath
cred into a beam with an apex hot
enough to burn paper. In the X
periments a position is used where
the intensity Is that Of normal day
light.
The beam is Just large enough
for one ported plant. Around it,
under the rays CT ordinary inten-
sity of blue. are other plants which
will serve for comparison.
On Toy Railroad
The pot carrying the special plant
Stands on a small flat-car, on q
miniature railroad, not much wider
than toy size. The road IS about
two yards long and slightly curved.
ClockWork mechanism draws the
pot along this railroad in unison
with passage of the sun overhead,
SO that the plant remains in the
spotlight all day.

he doesn't know a single card
game and he never takes a holi-

He does not smoke, and he takes

he has written or staged, is Hearts
of Oak" which he wrote in 100,

Merchant Of Venice" with David
Warfield as Shylock and Nina"
all done within the last decade, as
his outstanding contributions to the
art Of the theater.

budget, together with possible appro-

be eliminated when the new health
school is completed and the Jones

and eight part-time classes will be
eliminated when the old Business High
School is vacated and other pending

In summarizing Representative Sim

portables will be relieved by construc-
ton either now under way or appropri-
ated for or in the 1881 budget pro-
poSals, and that of the 2784 pupils now
in portableS there will remain only So,
and of the 6,972 pupils now in part
time classes there will then be only
$780,"
Mr. Simmons calculations, however,
he said, do not account for the esti-
mated rs additional class rooms needed
through increased enrolment for the
next two and a half years. He de-
clared further that the movements of
population from one section of the Dis
trict to another, thus reducing the rolls
in certain buildings, cannot be conSid-
ered and added that lust so fast as
further need develops, that need will be
met"
1T would appear from all available
data" he said. land assuming the &C.
ceptance of the present estimates, that
Congress and the Budget Bureau have
gone as far In the meeting of the build
ing need as the situation demands"
Building sites purchased or provided
for either in current funds or the 1881
estimates may be expected to reduce
the portable total from 10 to and the
part-time classes from 26 to 10, but
this would seem to be about the ire
ducible minimum in the school system
of growing city with a complex popu-
lation," Mr.. Simmons asserted. He
added that the portable may be neces-
sary adjunct here lust so long as
Washington is a growing city," for
since that growth cannot be antici-
pated the portable in some form will
probably be part of the District school
system for some time to come.
