We Do Not Always See Things

Washington, Feb. 19.- The sen-1
ate committee on territories Satur- j
day furnished an attraction in the
way of developments relative to j
Alaska coal lands which fairly en- j
title it to rival in interest the Bal* j
linger Pinchot investigation, whuh,
practically closed Saturday. Man-'
ager Stephen Birch, of the Gugfcer.-
heim • Morgan Alaska syndicate, j
again was the witness and for a
short time he reeled off figures con-
cerning the value of the coal and j
copper mines that were quite calcu-,
lated to cause the heads of the mem-
bers of the committee to swim plac-j
ing the tonnage in the Cunningham j
mines at 50,000,000 he said the coal j
could probably be taken out so as ,
to net a profit of $25,000,000. This ,
itatement, taken in connection with |
the fact that the syndicate had j
agreed to pay$250,000 for half of the j
property, aroused much interest.
Mr. Burch placed the probable out-
put of the entire Bering river coal
district of which the Cunningham
group is a part at 500.u00.000j tons,
with a net value of $200,000,000 and
a gross value of $900,u00,000.

Normal Vision Is Not Ahls to Psna-
trate to the Regions Bsyond the Vio-
let—Some Result# That Have Been
Attained With the Camera.
Those of us who are fortunate
enough to possess normal eyes are apt
to feel instinctively that wo see things
as they are. This is a mistake. The
appearance of the world at large is
merely the result of the circumstance
that the human eye perceives only a ,
comparatively small part of the total j
radiation which comes from the sun |
or is given out by a lamp.
To make this a little clearer we may ;
! consider one of the oldest experiments
| In optics, the passage of a ray of light j
through a prism.
When a beam of sunlight passes ,
through a prism of glass such as Is
often found on old fashioned chande-
liers the rays are spread out, forming
a spectrum, which we see as a rain-
bow colored band upon the wall. The
colors of the spectrum merge Into one
another by Insensible gradations. ,
i though the older physicists were in
the habit of recognizing seven-red,
! orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo and |
I violet. i
| These colors which the eye perceives j
are by no means the only ones present j
I In the spectrum. If we perform the j-
i .experiment in a dark room nnd place |
1 a photographic plate in such a position j
as to receive the image of the spec-
j trum we find that It extends to a con
' siderable distance beyond the violet. |
I In other words, there is a region be- j
vend the violet which the eye cannot
| goo. hut which the sensitive plate is
able to photograph. This region is
termed the ultra violet, and the light
from virtually all sources contains n |
greater or less amount of this ultra i
violet light..
The only difference between this ul-
tra violet light and ordinary visible
lisht is In the length of the wave. ^
which is, in fact, the only difference (
between the different colors of the j
visible spectrum. If, instead of using j
a glass prism for forming onr spec
i trum. we use one cut from a quart* j
I crystal we find that the ultra violet ■
I apeetrum Is very much longer, which .
i «l ws us that (he shortest waves of ,
i light are not transmitted even by the j
, clearest glass. ;
i If your eyes were sensitive to this .
i region of the spectrum Instead of to I
1 the other the appearance of things j
i would appear black, our windows
i would bo as opaque ns sheets of iron.
; and polished silver would resemble
anthracite coal. In other words, thing.*
' appear as they do merel} from the cir
j cumstauce that in the process of evo-
' intion our eyes have developed a sens!
bllity to a certain region of the total
spectrum of the light which comes to
us from the sun.
If wo have used an ordinary photo
graphic plate in our experiment we
shall find that it has received uo im-
pression from the red and yellow parts
of the spectrum and very little from
the green. The plate therefore suffers
from the same defect as our eye. It
is sensitive only to a limited region
Itcccntly. however, means have been
found of reudering plates sensitive to
the entire visible spectrum and to a
1 certain extent to the infra red or the
: extension beyond the red analogous ti
the ouo beyond the violet.
