LIGHT From sur...

A phenomenon, the cause Of which
has not yet been satisfactorily explain
ed, was described at meeting of the
British association. Disks Of loaf sugar
were mounted on lathe and rapidly
rotated while a hammer played lightly
against them. An almost continuous
radiation Of light was thus produced
from the sugar. It was shown that the
Light did not arise from heating Of the
sugar, and it is believed to be caused
by some change taking place in the
sugar crystals. The act Of crystalliza-
ton is known to be sometimes accom-
panied by flashes Of light. The practi-
cal bearing Of these experiments is on
the question Of the possibility of obtain
ing artificial light by methods as yet
untried. - Youths Companion.
