waves, such as those composing radio
active and X rays. Physicists already
have evidence that all these rays, In
GLIDING the vibrations known as heat,
electric waves and radio, are closely
related, all being manifestations Of the
same force, but vibrating at different
rates.
One type of invisible light rays is well
known--the ultraviolet, that possesses
curative properties, causes sunburn and
helps to peel paint OF automobiles. The
more obscure rays, farther In the ultra
violet, will not pass through air, which
accounts for the vacuum in the camera.
Scientists do not know whether prop
critics now unrecognized may exist In
other invisible light rays. Before these
possibilities can be studied the rays
themselves need to be identified.
A method for recording and measur :
ing these rays has been developed sue
cessfully at Princeton. for perhaps the
first time, under direction Of DIR. Karl
T. Compton, head of the department OF
physics. Recently he found the wave
length Of an invisible ray, and the CAM
era is intended to extend this work.
The instrument records the spectrum
of light on a Photographic plate which
is sensitive to lines invisible to the eye.
Analysis of these lines yields the wave
length. So precise are the measure
nients that a chamber of unvarying
temperature is necessary to house the
camera to avoid distortion from con-
traction and expansion.

VAST AREA FOR GRAZING
DISCOVERED IN BRAZIL

RIO DE JANEIRO CP).-Gen. Can
dido Mariana Rondon, famous Brazil
ian explorer and companion Of Roose-
Welt, has returned to Rio de Janeiro
after six months exploration and
boundary-marking in Northern Brazil.
He reports the discovery Of vast
plain 10000 square miles in area with
an average temperature of SO degrees
Fahrenheit, along the boundary Of
Dutch Guiana.
This is a most wonderful country"
Gen. Rondon said 1T is perfect graz
ing land In a perfect climate. Indians
there differ wholly from those farther
south. Although they are born and live
nearer the Equator than most Indians
, in Brazil, they have wonderful ply
siqueS."
Several explorers have stepped into
the Campos Geraes before, but no one
has ever gone to the Guiana border
except Gen. Rondon. The "campos"
were discovered in 1876 by Padre
Nicolino de SouZa.
