COTTAGE GROVE SENTINEL, THURSDAY, FRRRUARY 10, 1925 PAGX TURBE * * SYNTHETIC SUN TO MAKE BABES STURDY Light, Strong in Violet Ray«, Spun Growth. Orono, Me.—Artificial sunlight, pow erful in ultraviolet or health-giving rays rather titan in light or heat in tensity, obtained by use of a fused quurts mercury vapor arc lamp, has been used with startling results on young chickens at the University of Maine. The tests prove that rickets in chil dren is caused largely by the absence of direct sunlight, and the rays are ex pected to do much in combating this disease. The findings are also to show results in an educational way by teach ing the value of outdoor life, particu larly in rearing children. They may k also reveal factors influencing the growth of children. Experiments, conducted by Dr. C. O. Little, president of the university, and Dr. W. T. Bovle, professor of bio physics at the Harvard Medical school, in co-operation with the General Elec tric company on a brood of pedigreed chicks, raveal that not only larger and stronger chicks can be raised under the artificial sunlight, but that chicks raised under natural sunlight, filtered through ordinary window glass, de veloped ‘veak legs and rickets, weighed but one-fifth as much as the others, and died unless a change in living cm»- dltlons was made. Ordinary window glass Is opaque to ultraviolet rays and it was the ab sence of the actinic or health giving rays which resulted in the marked un der-development of the chicks. Babies of poor families brought up In dark alleys and crowded tenements and rich children brought up in homes where windows are closed and all sun light is filtered through glass develop rickets, and according to Doctor Bovle, jthls is one of the chief causes of bow legs, which most mothers believe re sult from allowing the child to stand on its feet or walk too early in life. “Autopsies on babies in Dresden showed that of those which were born In the fall and died in the spring, 96 per cent had rickets," Doctor Bovle said. “However, of those born in the spring and who died in the fall only a small percentage had ricket«. The babies born in the spring were out doors In the sunlight during the sum I mer and therefore were not deprived of the ultraviolet rays In the sun. "The Importance of these recent em- perlmen rs with chickens would be very great If they were only applicable to the raising of chickens. They are quite as applicable to the production of eggs and, more Important still, they are applicable to the rearing of our own children, for rickets is a disease of calcium metabolism and can be. cured by proper exposure to the ultra violet light." ■< Little Roy Haller 1« for^Safety Fir«T Little Roy Haller, four yean old, of Washington, D.

More Accuracy Claimed for New Ship’« Log » Stockholm—An Interesting Lnveu tlon for the accurate indicating at the speed at ships, and the recording of the distance sailed, ha» been perfected IB Sweden, and the functioning of the instrument was demonstrated recently before a meeting of the Swedish Ship owners’ association. The new log operates with a mar gin of error of less than 1 per cent, compared with an error of aa much as 10 per cent la the cane of aome other logs ordinarily need by merchant reessia. It la based on the principle that the pressure of water from the direction toward which movement Is made, va ries with the speed of the veeeel. Sx tending down through the bottom of the veaoel is a tube with an opening cn the forward side near tbe lower end. Tbe water level Inside thio rube varies more or lees above sea hwel according to the speed of the «hip. and the iadlrattng mechaaimn has aientri cal connections with the bridge which enable the nsrlgator to tell Instantly the speed of the ship and tbe iWMance nailed > oj o Œ o J r-T D1 Dl A?
