IT is an old notion that sunlight les
sens the intensity of fire, and may even
put it out, and the theory was that the
suns heat by expanding the air caused
diminished supply Of oxygen 10 the
coal. This and all ether explanations
are now condemned and the fact is de-
MED. One writer says that if a few
pieces of charcoal are ignited in chauf-
fer and placed in sunny room pro-
vided with close-fitting shutters the fire
will appear to die away in the suns
light. But if the shutters are closed the
Goals will be seen to be in full combus-
ton There is no phenomenon at all,
but only the appearance OF one, which
is due, not to the suns heat, but to the
fact that its light, being stronger than
that of the Goals, overcomes and subdues
it, The fact is that combustion is so init
mately connected with glowing ignition
in our minds that anything which les
sens the glow appears also TO dimin-
ish the combustion.-CasselPs Magazine.
