Strange lights hover over tho waters
)f Japan at various places. The burn-
Jig spring that appears at intervnls
)f severul years In one of the land
Locked bays Is a nntural phenomenon
:hat has attracted the attention of tho
j cinntU5c world. A new and curious
j3peetncle made Its nppoilrnnce In Shl-
iaagawa buy recently when n myriad
n pule green lights slwne In the placid
.voters und uttrncted thousands of spec-
tators to the shore East and West
News states.
The savants of Japan arc giving
much attention to this curious freak
of nature. One college professor
J likened the exhibition to the Innum-
erable lights off the coast of Chlkusen
and Chlkugo In Kyushu. The latter
lights however are of a yellow-red
orange color whereas those In Shlnag-
I uWa bay were pule green.
Doctor Klshlgaml of tho college of
agriculture In the Tokyo Imperial uni-
versity collected a qunutlty of wuter
from the bay. Ho has declared that
tho light Is caused by countless anl-
malcull. He describes these Insects
as gyrnriogynlums belonging to tho
elnss Flugellatn. Each measures one
twelve-hundredth of an Inch and has
nn alimentary canal. Thcso Insects
must have been always present in the
waters of thut buy but an excess of
vegetable matter In tho water so fat-
tened and stimulated the nnlmulcull
that they became unusually luminous.
The learned professor cites ttio appear-
ance of the sumo phenomena at Ham-
burg In 1830 since which time no
record exists of Its recurrence until
lately. The Insects live at the bot-
tom of the sea and come to the surface
on rare occasions for oxygen.
Evory .measure will be employed to
bring home to. tho .public this great
need for nurses for American soldiers
and sailors with the direct object in
view to encourage civilians not to em-
ploy graduate' nurses unnecessarily
and to utilize' hospitals as far as pos-
sible In cases of Illness. A direct ap-
peal will bo made to graduates of
women's colleges and high schools to
enroll Immedately as student nurses in
hospitals and especially in the army
school of nurses which m recently
established in connection with mili-
tary hospitals.
To prevent any serious shortage of
skilled nurses 'to care for tho civilian
sick in American cities every mar-
ried nurse and every other nurse not
now engaged In active nursing who
Is not eligible for army service will
be urged to enroll with the American
Ited Cross as home defense nurses
for assignment for a few hours daily
or weekly nursing neighbors in emer-
gencies and for. nursing In hospitals
disponsarl'-s baby saving stations and
work along similar lines. Others will
bo needed to. assist In carrying on the
work of district visiting or as public
school nurses. By such volunteer work
these additional nurses will render
local sen Ire and at the samo time
will relieve from civilian duty many
others soroly needed in military ami
naval establishments.
In addition these nurses will be ask-
ed to'ouroll for emergency service in
local disasters which call suddenly- for
a large number of nurses. If all civ-
ilians who nerd skilled nursing are to
have proper care the American Bed
Cross points out It Is Important that
as few nurses as possible be employed
for all their time to care for a single
patient. The public therefore is tirg-
led to employ individual trained nurs
es only in case of real necessity and
to utilize visiting nurses from hospit-
ftls whenever and wherever thoy are
accessible.
The American Red Cross recognizes
that it is Imperative to maintain teach-
ing and executive staffs of schools for
nurses and that economical nursing
may bo available at the present time
for civilian sick. It realizes also the
necessity for safeguarding to the ut-
most tho health of the community
through the services of public health
nurses. Nevertheless tho American
Red Cross Is urging the enrollment of
all nurses with the understanding that
those vitally needed to maintain local
nursing activities shall bo allowed
with the consent of military authori-
ties to continue their present position
as patriotic service.
