IS SUNSTROKE A PHOTOGRAPHIC EFFECT?
j If we consider the fact that no one | gets heat-stroke from the great heat 1 of furnaces in an arsenal, we readily ' arrive at the conclusion that not the ; heat rays of the sun, but the actinic I rays are the cause of the evil. Hence, if we treat the body as a j photographer treats his plates, and I envelop it in orange, using always !an orange-yellow shirt, and lining the coat and the hat with flannel of the same color, we are likely to suffer no bad effects from the sun. Acting on this hint, officers in India who have to perform a march in the hot weather use an orange-yel-low «hirt and line the helmet with orange-yellow flannel, and have a pad of the same colour stitched into the khaki coat down the back. As a further precaution, the helmet might be lined with a layer of tinfoil.
