The property which makes fused quartz stand out above all others Is Its ability to transmit ultra-viole- t rays, the healing chemical rays which, emitted by ttie sun, cause sunburn. These rays are excluded by ordinary window glass. Now that Mr. Derry bus made it possible to produce fused quartz in quantities, efforts are being made to learn whether It will be practicable to use ttie material in the extensive manufacture of electric bulbs.

"We can get ttie suns effects on cloudy days by using quartz bulbs or tubes with Incandescent light." Doctor Dovie Is planning to erect on the grounds of Harvard university n greenhouse glassed with quartz In which will be determined certain effects of ttie rays upon growing plants with a view to applying nny knowledge thus gained to Improving human health or preventing human diseases. Experiments with n similar object are to be made In the University of Maine laboratories, where renditions are considered especially favorable.

But In J. G. Jeckering, a Knight of Columbus secretary at tlie National Military home in Dayton, Ohio, disabled veterans of the World war believe they have found tlie male variety. Jeckering, who was a sergeant-majo- r of artillery during tlie World war, took up K. of C. work almost innneiU ately following his return from service. Much of thut time he lias been stationed at tlie Dayton home, where scores of World war soldiers are now receiving care. Ilia work daily brings him to the bedside of disabled men, to whom he administers comforts and perforins the little duties that mean so much to the disabled man. In addition to these duties, Jeckering finds time to visit the unfortunate veterans in Jails and the penitentiaries, looking after burials and funeral arrangements of Commandant Mary S.

Among others, Finsen In Copenhagen succeeded in curing a skin form of tuberculosis and in showing tlie beneficial effects in the treatment of smallpox. "in America, however, progress has been retarded nnd some such event as tlie production of tills quartz 1ms been needed to redirect attention to I tie subject," said Dr. Dovie. "American doctors did not understand the scientific side of ultra-violtherapy. Its use developed into a bad form of quackery. Apparatus called ultra-violelamps which did not emit any of the rays Finsen relied upon were used. The result 1ms been that many reputable physicians of America have refused to huve anything to do with it. Essence of Sunlight the Year Round Those conducting experiments with fused quartz point out that if the new quartz merely makes It possible eventually for tlie average home to have tlie essence of sunlight, artificial or natural, tlie year round. In bad weather nnd good, Its meaning In health to countless thousands who, grown under glass have been deprived of the beneficial qualities of sunlight, heat excepted, is likely to prove measureless. It Is believed that the action of tlie ultra-violray is sufficiently well known to make tills possibility a prediction nnd that Indoor living, or residence in regions overcast for long periods, need not be so hazardous in tlie future. If tlie views of Home scientists are to be accepted, Mr. Derry will lie regarded ns the man who made "perpetual sunshine possible. "There are now opened possibilities of study ing tlie effect of ultra-viole- t rays on the fundament!,! instinct of migration and hibernation and upon tlie Inherited clmractet I of animals and plants, according to President Little. "It will be possible also to and compare tlie effect of ultra-viole- t on identical material. "Also, the fact that strains of mice nt tlie universitys laboratory have long been used for research with can cer lays open n field of prospective value in tlie relation between ultra violet rays and biology and medicine."

The law specifically says that the bonus cannot be assigned to any purpose except for support of wife or As a result the bonus children. board will be required to make out 15 different checks to pay each of the heirs the small share of the claim they are to receive.
