Substances Sensitive to Weak Radia-
tion from q Heated Body.
The invisible radsations from heated
body possess the power of effecting GER
tain chemical decompositions much aft
er the manner of lights, as, for in
stance, in photography, says the St
Louis Globe-Democrat. Among the
substances sensitive to weak radia-
tions of heat may be mentioned paper
saturated with cupric bromide. or a
mixture of sulphate of copper and
potassium bromide, which has faint
greenish tint that becomes olive brown
in radiant heat. and if green is used a
brown image can be obtained in a min
ute by exposing to the radiations from
. gas stove and on treatment with sill
yer nitrate this image becomes black by
reason OF the reduction of the silver.
Bichromated paper is affected by radi-
ant heat, as by light. and paper impreg-
mated simply with sulphate of copper
yields a feeble image. which becomes
nearly black when treated with silver
nitrate. A mixture of sulphate of cop
per and oNalic acid gives paper which
becomes brown on exposure. Chlorafe
of copper is also very sensitive. the faint
blue color becoming deep green

which is markedly acted upon by light,
is slightly Drowned when exposed TO
heat radiation. and the tint is deepened
by hydroquinone or gallo acid.
