whv the sky IL BIue.

The cause Of the blue color Of the sky
often used to be a subject of dispute
among scientific men until Prof. Tyndall
appeared to have set it at rest by pro
pounding the theory of its being the pro
duct of selective reflection of the blue
rays Of white light by reason of the pres
ence of particles in the air of such min
ute size as only to be able
to reflect rays of short wave
length. Professor Hartley has recently
propounded a new theory, which really
seems to be a more probable one. After
raising objections to Tyndall's theory
per Sc, he presents his own argument
and tho results of experiments to show
that the blue color arises from the action
Of ozone upon the rays Of light. The
results of his examinations of oxon-
lied air 60 to prove that it
was impossible for rays Of light to
pass through so little as five miles OF
air without the rays being colored sky
blue by the ozone commonly present, and
that the blue of objects viewed on q
clear day at greater distances, mp L
thirty FIVE or fifty miles, must be almost
entirely the blueness of ozone in the air
In his laboratory experiments he observed
that the quantity of ozone giving full
sky.blue in a tube only two feet il
length is two and one-half milligrammei
in each square centimetre of sectiona
area in the tube.-British Journal o
