Oct rtificial lightning strokes so tiny 1 he 7 might shock a fly but would ot kill a bee now are harnessed use dim electric lights.

They co-aid be used in a blackout, ndoors, without pulling down the 'indow shades. The lamps were shown to the ational Academy of Sciences here strokes oes niy about one six-hundreds of a Dr. Up the scale Jeffries said amps builronthe lightning stroke principle now regularly give 10,000,000 times more light than these small ones. One in Holland gives 60,000,000 times more light. There is no limit in sight, although some of these lamps have surpassed the surface brightness of the sun.

In" the bee-power lightning the strokes pass through very rarified atmosphere of neon and argon. The electric How causes these gases to glow, the same as natural lightning makes the air blaze. The little lamps are the size of the end of man's thumb, and remain virtually cold. They have many practical uses indicators in the dark for theater seats, location of electric light switches and exits. With alternating current the flashes are too rapid to be distinguished by the eye; with direct current the flash is a single, unending flow.

All these lightning lamps, from smallest to brightest, use mercury el-ctrodes, one at each end of the lamp, set so that the current jumps from one electrode to the other, and in so doing passes through the gas lying between them. This same lightning principle is used in making the new fluorescent lamps, where the light which the eye sees originates in a powder coating the bulb walls. Ten different kinds of real daylight, that is, the differences of various parts of the day, already have been produced in this fluorescent lamp, Dr. Jeffries said. Infantile Paralysis Virus Found Streptococcus Kin ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Oct. 14 electron microscope, newest tool in medical science, has produced new evidence that the virus of infantile paralysis and the deadly streptococcus bacteria are first cousins and perhaps even more closely related. This concept has been advocated for several years by Dr. E. C.

Rosenow, medical scientist of the Mayo, Foundation, Rochester, alter he found evidence of streptococcus infections in a large number of virus epidemics. recently, however, with the aid of the new microscope, which uses electrons instead of light rays and magnifies objects up to 100,000 times, was he able to find "baby" streptococcus germs in virus cultures. Before they had escaped notice because the light microscopes were too weak to penetrate the- secrets of the virus. Dr. W.

M. Stanley of the Rockefeller Institute had previously used the electron microscope in virus studies. With the aid of Dr. V. Zworykin of the Radio Corporation of America, inventor of the electron microscope.

Dr. Rosenow.magnified filtrates of viruses 36.000 times and with a special stain found the growing streptococcus germs in the solution taken from the spinal canals of monkeys who had been inoculated with poliomyelitis virus. No germs were present in the spi- nal fluid before the virus administration. They appeared a few days later. As a result Dr.

Rosenow began experimenting with a poliomyelitis- antistreptococcus serum and he reported today before the annual meeting of the American Public Health Association that it has proven effective in the treatment of almost 500 human beings when the paralysis was caught in its early stages. Previously it had been used on monkeys "very effectively." In. one group of 50 monkeys with acute poliomyelitis 90 per cent recovered. Dr. Rosenow declared that the serum used, which is grown on a mixture of dextrose sugar and chopped brain tissues from calves, apparently neutralizes the virus and when given in the early stages of infantile paralysis it stops the growth process of the virus.

He demonstrated with photographs the effectiveness of the se- rum in halting virus growth. Monkeys were first inoculated- with the virus and, after largt wheats had formed at the site of the they were given serum. la some monkeys the- size of the infected area was reduced 75 per cent within two hours. This skin test for the disease is proving important in its diagnosis, the Mayo Foundation physician said. Out of 25 persons tested during the first three days of observation, 22 reacted positively.
