one of Tyndau,. Heroic Experiment,

In 1861 Tyndall performed the eX
pertinent of separating light from heat.
In the course of the Investigations
which enabled him to do this he made
one of the most daring experiments
that ever scientific man ventured on.
Knowing Il layer OF iodine placed be-
fore the eye Intercepted the light, he
determined to place his own eye In the
focus of strong Invisible rays. He
knew that II In doing SO the dark rays
were absorbed in a high degree by the
humors of the eyes the albumcn of
the humors might coagulate, and, on
the other hand, II there was no high
absorption the rays might strike upon
the retina with force sufficient to de
stroy It, When he first brought his
eye undefended near the dark focus the
heat on the parts surrounding the pupil
was too intense to be endured. He
therefore made an aperture IN the plate
of the metal and, placing his eye be
hind this aperture, he gradually ap
preached the point OF conveyance of
the invisible rays. First the pupil and
next the retina were placed In the focus
without any sensible damage Imme
diately afterward sheet OF platinum
foil placed in the position which the
retina had occupied became red hot.
