RISING SUN HIGH SCHOOL
ULTRAVIOLET Ray Demonstrations

ULTRAVIOLET Ray Demonstrations
Mr.. Hovermill, the science teacher,
has been holding some demonstra-
tions Of ultraviolet rays recently, to
which the pupils of his various class
es were invited.
Light really consists Of very short
waves of "ether", shorter even than
radio waves, but similar in nature.
Different colors are the reflections of
different length waves of light from
objects we see to our eyes. The long
est light waves we can see we call
red, the shortest, violet. The light
waves longer than red we call infra-
red (below red), and those shorter
than violet, ultraviolet (beyond
violet. Infra-red and ultraviolet
light are, of course. ordinarily in
visible.
There are bulbs made to strain out
all but ultraviolet light, and by US
ing these we can find the effect of
this invisible light upon different
materials. Many substances, metals,
for example, show no effect, but
others reflect the ultraviolet light to
our eyes in a visible glow. Such
substances absorb it and glow or
phosphoresce after the ultraviolet
light is shut on.
Many strange and unusual effects
are obtained under this light, for ex-
ample, all hair appears gray, and
hngernails look CHASTITY. Often things
appear in entirly different coiors
than In daylight.

Christmas Seal Sale
Begins
Drive Officially Opened On
Thanksgiving Day---Seals
Ready For Mailing

The Christmas Seals are all ready
for mailing to the people of the state
according to the reports of the chair
men of the various counties of Mary
land, and should be delivered shortly
after Thanksgiving, the day upon
which the sale officially commences.
Henry F. Baker of Baltimore, is
general seal sale chairman for the
state, and each county, with excep-
tion of a few of the smaller ones,
also has its own local chairman. The
work of these chairmen has been un-
usually enthusiastic and their efforts
indicate successful sale for 1887.
The Christmas Seals make possible
the fight to prevent tuberculosis in
Maryland. They finance such state
wide activities as the free chest
clinics, the Miracle House, health
education, medical research, the pur-
chase of diagnostic equipment, and
special work among the colored. The
funds that are raised by the sale of
these seals in the various counties
are spent in the counties in which
they were raised with the exception
of small percentage which is used
to finance the program of the State
Association.
This program has been instrument
al in decreasing the tuberculosis
death rate in Maryland by almost
two-thirds in the last thirty years.
William B. Matthews, managing
director of the Maryland Tubercul-
osis Association, said that many
schools throughout the state were
participating in the Christmas Seal
sale activities. Through an educa-
tional unit supplied by the associa-
ton, many of these schools are cele-
brating Wednesday, November oath,
as Thanks for Health Day.. The
unit is based upon bell ringing.
subject closely connected with the
|designtof the Cliristmas Seal.
Mr.. Matthews further stated that
November 28th will be celebrated in
many of the churches Of the stale as
"Christmas Seal Sunday. He said,
at is hoped by the various chairmen
in the several counties that the
clergy of the respective counties will
assist in the observance of Christmas
Seal Sunday by calling to the atten-
ton their congregation on the work
that is being made possible by the
seals.''
Approximately 100000 Christ
mas Seals have been prepared for
mailing. These will be sent to 1907
900 people in the state. eff everyone
would buy and use seals sent to
them" Mr.. Matthews said, 1.-The Mary
land tuberculosis Association and it's
affiliated county associations would
have sufficient funds to put ON an in
tensive anti-tuberculosis program
that would speedily offset the recent
slight rise in tuberculosis deaths.
Last year Montgomery County
had the best per capita record and
Baltimore County raised the largest
total. The chairmen and committees
of the other counties are trying to
match the records of these two dur
ing the 1887 SALE, Mr.. Matthews
concluded.
