green ishblue color as any one can testify who has ever seen it in a composing room or photographic studio furthermore the mercury vapor can bo electrically excited to glow only with direct current if alternating cur rent is supplied which is usually the case expensive additional services mast bo used in addition the diffi culty of starting the tube by shaking it together with the impossibility of using one device for both alternating current and direct current and the pos sibility of moving the arc lamp during he operation has limited its use disadvantages of neon neon lamps seen in

explains tho red blue and other lights that we see moreover like mercury arcs these gas tubes cannot bo connected directly with a socket because of the high vol tages required what is wanted is a lamp

the lamp nothing that resembles the old mer cury lamp moreover it is about three times as efficient as the best filament electric lamp of equal candlepower which means that lor tho same amount of current three times more light is obtained what is most im portant the color is nearly that of day light one of the main features of the new- lamp is to be seen in the possibility of using any kind of glas from the softest glass to quartz especially in using uviol glass so called because it transmits ultraviolet radiation the new lamp is very like a little sun so far as tho color of its rays is

mark the first step in a statis tical survey of foot measurements first of britain and secondly it is hoped of foreign countries according to tho london correspondent of the journal of the american association at northampton 2500 people o all ages were measured he says each foot was measured twice once with and once without the weight of the body on it the measurements are declared to have pro zed the value of the angles in the new methods of measuring the scaffolds of the feet when the survey has been extended other towns the association will have a complete statistical record of the j boot and shoe measurements of bri- i tain the investigation on which the re port is based is the outcome of the invention by the research workers of the association of a footmeasuvhg machine which teduces the present uncertain method of measurement to a simple formula easily understood by a person with an elementary knowl edge of trigonometry and geometry the new machine is the necessary complement of the machine tools used in the mass production of boots and shoes for centuries boots and shoes were made by the craftsman who supple mented his simple measurements by a mental picture of his customers feet in making the foot measurements one important point seems to have been overlooked in civilized countries some deformity of the foot due to h wearing of boots and sloes is practic ally universal therefore measure ments of races which do not wear these articles and of the few persons who have always worn boots properly made for them by a good craftsman should have been taken in
