As a result of experiments he has found that merely placing food la the will endow it with growth promoting properties sop posed to be possessed only by food rich in vitamins, la spits of tbs fact that "irradiated or "illuminated" food may contain bo vitamins before exposure to ths light.

"Hundreds of rats bars been Bed for these experiments." Dr. Steenbock explained. "Rickets was Froduced in these animals by first eedlng rations known to produce this disease. Then they were cured fey feeding them with exactly ths ration which had been exposed to sunlight.

Olive oil and lard, as welt as other plant and animal fats, can be mads as active as cod liver oil by lrvfct sen bock's method.

Rickets Rare ta Tre ftes. TJckets Is rarely found la ths KamAmma with sunlight acts as a preventive." Dr. Eteenbock said. "But with ths iafant In eorthera climes, direct exposure to sunlight Is almost Impossible for a considerable portion of ths year and sunlight filtered through glass is of no valus.

Lr. teen bock's discovery grew out of ths work of other investigators, who had found that animals fed on foods poor In vitamins would a row normally If kept In ths sun, white "check'' animals fed on the foods and kept in the shade failed to grow.

They had also found that if the livers of "sunned" rsts wers fed to "shaded, rats, these stunted cannibals sained ths power of growth from the remains or tneir aensrtel brethren.

What suggested the tiss or rays In detecting internal defects in fruits, was the common catom ol candling to determine apoilare. Common htnt can not be used ia the case of fruUs as it could with eggs, but rays can. It is possible by this scheme to detect injuries caused by the fruit fly larvae which bad matured and escaped, leaving no external signs of injury. Damage done by the codling motn, a peat that is very destructive to fruit In the United States also, can be plainly detected In pears submitted to the rays.

Defects In ranges due to blue moll are likewise possible cf tiijocsi. dr.ininn as to tb.a Of this method Is to ths effect that it Is only a question provUmer suitable apparatus to the farmers.
