to these splendid original discoveries Of

that blue glass only partially sitted out
the orange and yellow rays from the
spectrum, and that with this exception
it acted merely rs a screen to diminish
the intensity OF all the rays. We also
surprised that there was a sharp di.tinC
ton to be- drawn between sunlight after
passing through blue glass and the blue
