At the same time they warned pros- pectors and others who plan to enter the region where the latest gold strike has been made that they should be equipped with money and food or they might suffer. They saw the it of much suffering in the S, if in- adequately equipped prospectors rush to the region and are caught without sufficient food or money. The region where gold has been found in paying quantities lies in the ice- bound interior, about 300 miles from the railroad at PFairbanks, and the means of getting there has been largely airplane, at a cost of about $1 a mile. Ruby is the largest town in the area, although the richest discoveries have been made on the tributaries of Poarman Creek, which are known as Beaver, Diamond and Wolf Creeks. ‘Temperatures of 40 degrees below zero are encountered at this season of the year, coupled with biting winds, al- though gold miners continue operations even in such temperature, The gold discoveries are sald to assay as much a5 much as $1.20 per pan.

He showed slides of two vessels proceed- courses at rigth angles to each surface of the water, as from a subma- rine periscope, appeared to be traveling in the same direction. The effect was obtained by painting a series of cubes in perspective upon the camouflaged ves- sel's sides. “Wave Lengths” Vary. “Since to fire a torpedo one must know the direction a ship is traveling | and her s imate speed,” Mr. Bit- | | tinger declared, “such an illusion as those cubes produce makes it almost im- possible to tell the craft's course and therefore gives her a dej | that could not be obtaine: In discussing the science and me- chanies of color, Mr. Bittinger declared that the “wave lengths” of colors vary, | the red being longest and the violet be- ing shortest.

DECEPTION OF COLOR SHOWN TO COSMOS CLUB AUDIENCE| PLANNED BY LEAGUE Artist Demonstrates Gullibility of Man’s Eyes by Use of Paints and Lights, ray of colored light is projected upon the canvas. To prove this point, Mr. Bittinger displayed a canvas on which a mass of irregular paint daubs were visible under an ordinary white light. “A modern painting of Lindbergh arriving in New York,” Mr. Bittinge: humorously called it. Then, when ¢ beam of red light was projected upon the canvas, the unintelligible jumble faded and a portrait of Mona appeared. Similarly, a painting of a youth—as the naked eye saw it—was bathed in a| colored light ray and a iandscape ap- peared while the boy completely vanished. Some Reflect Slowly. Mr. Bittinger also gave a demonstra- | tion of “radium paint” effects, Colors, he said, reflect ight to varying degrees Some pigments reflect it instantly, whilc others reflect rays very slowly. Taking & white canvas upon which he worked under a violet light, the artist drew a series of lines to form a rectangle that | seemed to glow under the violet light. That was simply the reaction of one color to the amount of light it reflected from the violet ray, he explained. Into the frame thus formed a caricature sketch of a cat's head was drawn. The outline glowed as did the rectangle Mr. Bittinger drew; the eyes seemed duller. Then the light was turned out entirely. The cat's head vanished, but the eyes glowed in a cold greenish glare. The explanation was that the paint used for the eyes was the kind which stores its light and reflects it slowly, while the other pigments reflected light instantly. This is the process used in theaters where dancing girls’ costumes glow in lacey fantastic designs even when the theater is darkened, Mr. Bittinger explained. Other experiments included the changing of a bit of yellow paint to its opposite—violet—by merely subjecting it to pressure through rubbing it briskly. BIBLE READING TEST International Organization to Award Prizes to Winners at Eas- ter Eventide Services. A Bible reading contest has been in- augurated by the National and Inter- national Community Bible Readers’ League. It is planned to award 30 sets of New Testament booklets, in a case, for easy carrying and reading, to the persons who have done the most read- ing during the period through Holy Thursday. The committee in charge arranged to distribute checking cards bearing ques- tions regarding Bible reading, and on these the contestants will answer vari- ous questions. of the Bible may be used.
