LECTURE ON OPTICS.--MECHANICS' INSTITUTE

On Saturday even hug Mr. Addams terminated his course of
. lectures upon this stibject.
If we Fill the pores of any substance with a fluid which will
bear a different ratio in power of transmitting light compared
with the atmosphere, we shall confer upon that substance More
transparency. Thus if we take a piece of tissue paper and fill
its pores up with oil its transparency is increased, although the
oil is denser than air: The sun gives off light which is iii some
places darkened, for if we receive a body of solar light upon a
prism properly circumstanced, and we have the prismatic
image, we shall see there are black lines crossing the spectrum
at right angles: There are, therefore, certain portions of the
solar spectrum where there is no light, and this is considered to
arise from the absorption of the light by the solar atmosphere.
If the light of the sun or a lamp he passed through nitrous acid
gas, and received by a prism, we shall find its spectrum to be
crossed with black lines, showing an absorption of light. It is
difficult to account for the reason of this absorption. Some
imagiue that gaseous bodies, like the crystalline, are differently
constituted, the particles in each undergoing. a different ar-
rangement, and that portions of light are thus intercepted and
destroyed in passing through. Others have imagined that the in-
terference of the waves of light in passing through the different
media of the gas, at different rates, destroys the light. The colour
of a body is caused by the absorption of particular rays. Thus we
see that light passing through a red glass assumes a ruddy colour.
Now a white light, such as that of a candle, is composed of two
primary colours, or the seven colours or the solar spectrum, but,
in passing through a red glass, it loses six out of seven of these
colours, and allows the other one to go through. In this in-
stance the alesorptioa is partial. But it is possible to effect a
total absorption of light by passing it through two transpareut
bodies. Thus if light be passed through red and green glasses,
the light will be totally destroyed. The thickness of the glass
matters nothing, for if the intensities of the colours be properly
regulated, the phenomena will occur though the glass should be
as thin as goldbeaters' skin. Otherwise the glasses may be
many inches thick without preducing the same effect. Most
beautiful effects may be oroduced by reducing the thickness of
bodies; if we have bodies very thin indeed, we find that they
exhibit colour, but if they be thick they will not, or, if they do,
it will be that negative colour which a e Cell white. Mica is
ordinarily white, but a film of it, l-liB,oooth part of an inch in
thickness, will appear of a beautiful bluish green colour. When
water is reduced to a film, as in a soh bubble, it exhibits a
number of beautiful coloured rings. When the bubble is about
to burst these rings assume a black appearance. Films of
oxide produced from metal will do the same. The most fami-
liar example consists in taking polished steel and exposing it
to a certain temperature, when it will become yellow, orange,
and blue, and at certain degrees of heat these will again disap-
pear one after the other. The blueness of watch springs, &e, is
caused by a very fine film of oxide not exceeding the :40-1000th
of an inch in thickness. It is produced by heating it, when the
oxygen in the air attacks the metal and gives a colour to it.
At the temperature of 5000 a piece of steel will assume a yellow
colour; if we heat it more it will pass into other shades, until at
6.50° the yellow colour will be destroyed again. If a piece of
steel be heated in mercury no change will be produced in its
colour, the action of the oxygen in the atmosphere being re-
quisite for the transformation ; the same will happen if oil be
placed upon it.
Colour may be said to be independent of what we call co-
louring matter. It is true we talk of colour being in the body;
thus in dying we speak of conveying, colour into the 'body.
What would be thought of a person who should say there was
no colour in a scarlet coat; and yet we should be quite correct
in saying so. Again, there is no reason why we should always see
a body coloured in the same manner; that is, one body, with-
out being altered in its nature, will exhibit two different kinds
of colour. What is the colour of gold, we might ask. It ap-
pears to as to have a yellowish colour at one time;' but. if we
look through a leaf of it, we perceive it to possess a blueish
green. There is no such thing as colour in gold, or, if there
were, it would be uniform. We might then ask how dying is
carried on if we do not convey colour into the cloth? In the
operation of dying we introduce into the pores of the articles to
be dyed certain particles of matter, which will have such an ef-
fect upon the ether contained in these articles as to cause it to
yield the colours we wish. A very curious crystal was disco-
vered a few years ago, (a piece of cracked quartz,) which exhi-
bited a Meekness in the crack. This crystal was examined by
Sir D. Brewster, and he found the blackness arose from a num-
ber of crystals of quartz lodging in the crack, which were so
exceedingly minute as not to be thicker then the film of a soap
bubble. 'I he crystals, being so exceedingly small, did not act
upon ether as to produce colour. If two pieces of glass, the one
perfectly flat, and the other slightly convex, be pressed together,
a number of coloured rings will be seen on looking through
them, called Newtonian rings. The cause of these Mr. Addams
explained by numerous diagrams.
Colour is produced by certain waves acting upon the eye in
certain differences of time. We may by means of 'heat alter
the position of the atoms of bodies, or perhaps by increasing
their magnitude cause them to give very different colours than
naturally belong to them. Deuioxcide or lead, or hydriodate of
mercury, when hewed in a small phial, change their natural
colours, but immediately assume them when they become cold.
Chloride of cobalt will produce a beautiful blue when the water
with which it is combined is driven off by heat; thus, if a fire-
screen be painted with it, the colour becomes a dullish brown
owing to the absorption of water from the atmospere, but when
placed neer the tire, it becomes blue. This blue again gives
place to the brown when the screen is removed from the fire,
and it acquires fresh water from the atmosphere. The colours
which we see in mother-of-pearl shell are caused by a number of
fine lines which traverse the shell in various directions; these
lines form the division between the successive layers which the
fish is continually adding to its shell as it enlarges in size. The
same appearance is presented by ladies' dresses, in which the
colours are said to be shot, froin'the same cause. Steel buttons
used formerly to be made on the same principle. A most superb
set of this description of buttons were presented to George
which emitted most beautiful colours owing to a number of fine
lines being drawn upon them with a diamond revolved by ma-
chinery, which crossed each other at different angles. Mr.
Addams exhibited a beautiful brass button of this description,
on which there were two hundred lines to ths inch.

It is not necessary to have seven colours to produce a white
colour, two colours will do it it' they are of sufficient intensity,
these colours are red and bluish-green, hence they are called
complimentary colours. By mixing different colours together
we can get a third; thus, red and blue will give a violet ; blue
and yellow a green. Bodies appear brightest in the light which
they exhibit naturally. If we exhibit scarlet cloth it will ap-
pear more scarlet if red light only falls upon it, but if we take
red, yellow, and other bodies, and throw upon them other light,
they will frequently appear totally black. .There is no red with-
out a mixture of yellow, but if we could get pure red it would
appear black when yellow light is forced upon it. This, Mr.
Addams illustrated by dipping a sponge previously saturated
with common salt in alcohol, when, upon igniting it, the red
colours in the roomimmediotely became black. If the sun be
setting with a ruddy-red colour, the shadows of trees and build-
ings will not appear black, but of a beautiful bluish-green, or if
we sit before a fire, and the fire be burning with a yellowish
light, and we have a black seal upon a letter it will not appear
black but blue. The eye may be said to see two colours at the
same time—a colour and its compliment, so that in looking at
scarlet we should see a greenish blue, by looking at orange a
darkish blue ; yellow, a different blue; blue, orange; green,
yellow; white, black; and black white, because these opposites
are the complimentary tints of each other. This, Mr, Addams
illustrated by placing red, green, blue, &c. chimneys on a gas-
lamp, and throwing shadows on a screen, when the various
complimentary tints were immediately produced.
Mr. Addams, in conclusion, thanked tha audience for their
attention, and regretted that the subject on which he lectured
was not one which was capable of much popular illustration,
but hoped at a fhturo period to have the pleasure of delivering
a course oflectures with glowing and tangible illustrations.
Imperfectly reported as these lectures have necessarily been,
from the impossibility of embodying the ideas of the lecturer
without the aid of diagrams, they will at least serve
.to prove
two things, viz., that Mr. Addams understands his subject, and
that the members of the Mechanics' Institution have been highly
favoured by the opportunity of hearing them.

SUBscHIPTIoNS IN INDIA FU THE IRISH CLERGT.—A gen-
tleinan in town has received a letter front his brother at 111a-
dm, which mentions that, on the 7th of June last, a meeting
was held at that place for the purpose of raising a subscription
for the relief of the Irish Clergy, whose sufferings and priva-
tions had roused much keen sympathy on their behalf, as well
as warm indignation against their oppressors.. The writer of
the letter expresses his confidence that the subscription will
amount to a very considerable stmt.—Cork Standard.

ANOTHER INSTALMENT FOR STROUD.--It would be difficult
to ascertain how much was covenanted to be the compensation
to Colonel Fox for giving up his seat to Lord John Russell;
bnt it is clear that another instalment has been paid last week.
Colonel Fox, very soon after-he resigned his seat, obtained a
not unprofitable berth in the ordnance—that was instalment the
first; last week he has been appointed to the receivership of the
Duchy of Lancaster, which, doubtless, will be equally unpreflt-
able—this is instalment the second. What will be the next?

WESLEYAN METHODISM.—The number of individuals actu-
ally members of the different Wesleyan Methodist societies
throughout the world now exceeds one million, the exact num-
ber being according to the most recent returns, 1,019,989, and
there is in addition a body of 4,273 regular preachers, besides
a host of labourers in the same field who are termed local
preachers. It is not more than 45 years since the death of the
founder of Methodism, and at that period the number of members
in every part of the world was only 135,581, and the total num-
ber of regular preachers did not exceed bl l. The number of
members in all the societies had actually Inure than doubled in
the last 15 years.—Watchman.

week getrerally withdrawn the notices which they had pi eviously
given to leave their employment; and several Of the,mills
which had been stopped recommenced work on Thursday morn,
ink. Since that time; however, we are sorry to learn, owing td
some fresh differences or to the want of a thorough understand-

COA La.—ln consequence of the high price of coals, an attempt
is about to be made at Leicester to open a mine a hich is said to
exist there, and which, it is presumed, will render that neigh,
bourhond independent of the north. At Northampton a shaft
has been sunk to the depth oT 215 feet, and of these 150 feet
have presented what is termed blue chinch, which in all previous
cases has been found the precursor of coal, and the speculators
are confident of finding a good vein of coal. In London, too,
the old legend is revived that as near town as Blackheath an
excellent field of coal exists, which has hitherto been unat•
tended to.

Two curious circumstances are related by the Saletit Gdzettd
as evidence of the dryness and coldness of the present season.
A peat meadow, back of Chapman's tavern, in Salem, on the
old Boston road, has been nearly a fortnight, until several acres
have been consumed. A part of the meadow had been planted
with potatoes, which have been destroyed. In some instances
they have been taken from the ground roasted, in a state
perfectly fit for eating. The fire took place from the burn-
ing of some bushes at the edge of the meadow.—Boston Tratt-,
script. _ _ _

A dwarf has lately made his appearance at Paris, who has bes
come an object of interest to the people of science in that city:
He comes from Illyria, not far from Trieste, where he was born,
of respectable parents, and is called Gulia. The peculiarity of
his case is, that up to the age of five he was a child of ordinary
proportions, but his growth then suddenly ceased, and he is
now, at 22, just the size he was then. His height is exactly
three feet; he was, therefore, not born a dwarf. His figure is
beautifully proportioned, and be possesses mind and intelli,
gence pot common to other dwarfs. He speaks fluently fivd
languages, the two which are common upon the Adriatic, Ger,
man, French, and Italian, He is, besides, accoml►lished, plays
the violin, and mounts and manages a horse with consideraod
grace. The check to his development at the age of five, and
his invariable good health ever since, are, however, circuin,
stances worthy the attention of physiologists.

THE LAST DAYS OF MRS. hENtANs.—WO are told by Mr:
Chorlev, in his new work, the ".Memoirs of Mrs. Hemans,"
which is written in an excellent spirit, that towards the close of.
her exemplary life, "she spoke often of the fur-away friends
whom she valued, and would send theta messages of kindness
and comfort. She was anxious that one (Miss Mitfurd) should
be told of the delight which her country scenes and sketches
had given her; that another, the companion of her graver
hours, should be assured that `the tenderness and affection of
the REDEEMER'S character, which they had often contemplated
together, was a source, not merely of reliance, but of positive
happiness to her,—it was the sweetness of her couch.' "

WORSHIP OP THE RELICS 011 CAPTAIN COOK.—Part of the
bones of Cook were retained by the natives; and, several of them:
held sacred as those of the god Reno, were deposited in a temple
dedicated to that deity. They were preserved in a basket of
wicker-work covered With red feathers; religious homage Was
paid to them, and they were annually borne in procession
through the island by the votaries. of Reno, when gathering of-
ferings for the maintenance of their worship. They were thus
preserved and honoured for a period of forty years, until the
abolition of idolatry and the establishment of the Christian faith
in 1819. At that caste they disappeared, having probably been
carried off by some of the priests. and the English missionaries
have hitherto failed to discover their destination.—Edinburgh
Cabinet Library, No. XXI.
No less than four places of worship connected with the

IloaltuKz INearinctos.—A corresponent of the flambay
Gazette. of April 6, on the faith of a letter from Ahmedniaggur,
states the following berrible transaction is distressing to
relate, that for these few days past, several native children have
been missed from the I ettalt of this place, and general report
says,
that a 109 pow ne of distinction, residing a few days'march
and who has for some days
from hence, past been in a danger
rows state of illness, havingebeen Informed by her medical ad-
visers, that all endeavours to restore her would prove ineffectua
unless she consented to eat the heart and liver of 20 young
children, at length &teeniest ed in the measure. Three days
since, (says my correspondent, whose letter is dated the 2d inst.)
a child was found in a nullali near this place, with the belly cut
open, from which the heart and liver had been extracted. There
are now two men confined in the bazaar guard, who have been
taken up on suspicion of being connected with this horrible
traffic. The inhabitants of Ahmednuggur are in such a stale of
trepidation, that their children are kept closely confined to their'
homes."

IsisTrtlcTiva Lovu tie Ftesti im TIGERS.—A party of gets=
tletnen from Bombay one day visiting the stupendous cavern
temple of Elephants discovered a tiger's whelp in one of rho
obscure recesses of the edifice. Desirous of kidnapping the cub,
without encountering the fury of its dam. they took it up hastily
and cautiously, and retreated. Being left entirely at liberty,
and extremely well fed, the tiger grew rapidly, appeated tame
and fondling as a dog. and in every respect entirely domesti'
cated. At length, when it had attained a vast size, and, not-
withstanding its apparent gentleness, it began to inspire terror .
by its tremendous powers of doing mischief, a piece of raw meat,
dripping with blood, fell in its way. It is to be observed, that, •
