Seen by ordi- voic nary daylight, these minerals, spread It out on a table top, seem to be just wer a group of more or less uninteresting poli "rocks." But when daylight is shut Nei out, and the minerals are seen exposed to ultra-violet rays, they seem to spring ton to life, and glow brilliantly and vivid- Uni ly will all the colors of the rainbow- the bright yellow. purple, violet, rose, and Car wine-colored. tho The long mercury-vapor tube which cau produces the rays is of black quartz di glass, so that only the ultra-violet rays de can pass through to the outside. The the tube is fixed in a mental case above the to table of mineral specimens. tof The invisable ultra-violet rays act on aff the minerals in such a way that visable ad0 light rays are set up in the minerals. add A great number of organic compounds exhibit fluorescence, but inorganic ma terials which show this property are comparatively few. The minerals for the collection were largely obtained through the efforts of Dr. L. L. Smith of the Geology de partmient. The mercury-vapor arc was : recently purchased for the department met by I)r.
