Many of them' are deep-sea va rieties, In the grotesque shapes made familiar by William lleebe't descrip tions last, year of the ocean treasure! he found on his cruise In the A returns. Their range of site Is extraordinary. There la one flah from the depths of the ocean only three Inches long.

No one can foresee by what remarkable uses the ray may be made to serve man kind, the bulletin added. Tha extraordinary penetrating powers of the new ray depend on the extreme ahortoeaa of tho wave length. Ordinary broad casting radio, or Hertxlan raya, have wave! from 100 to 8,000 meters, Professor Langley found rayi in the tun't and moon's besms, which were In visible to tht eye, of a wavo length of one-hundredth of a millimeter, or 100,000,000 times shorter than 1,000-meter radio. The new rayt which Milliken hat found are 2,000 times short er In . wave length than the average X-ray. LIGTHNING BURNS OFF HIS WHISKERS Farmer Struck While on Plow Hat Narrow Escape. Alliance, Neb.
