Light.
When the world was young, man
was only child, with child's
thoughts. Probably the first man,
at the close Of the first day, was
frightened when darkness fell. and
wondered whether the light would
ever come again. And since, he has,
like child, been continually learn
ing something about light. At one
time he supposed. the eye was the
source of the light, because he saw
nothing unless his eyes were open.
The great philosopher. Newton, pro-
pounded the corpuscular theory,
that light is an imponderables sub
stance, whose cOlors depend ON the
velocity of transmission. Reflection
he compared to the rebounding of an
elastic body, while refraction was
due to interstices in transparent
bodies, which allowed the particles
OF light to pass through. This idea
was accepted for many years, but
has now been practically displaced
by Huygen's undulatory theory,
that light is propagated by the vi
brations of the imponderable ether.
On this theory the transmission of
light is like that of sound, and a cor
Ollary of it is that there are lights
OF different colors, the variety of hue
not being caused by varying veloc-
tiles. Three peculiarities of light are
it's universal diffusion, it's rapidity of
motion and it's usefulness. The
works of man never equal those of
nature, but in these three respects
the Burlington Route resembles
light. An examination of the map
shows it's diffusion over the West;
the use of it's tickets will convince of
the speed of it's trains; an acquaint-
ance with the hundreds of prosper
Gus towns and cities ON it's liues
demonstrates it's usefulness. Apply
