HEAT AND LIGHT
The DIGereacs IN the nenetrat1ng
AbIIIty Of Their Rays.

The DIaerence In the Renetrut1ng
AbIII1y OF Their Rays.
The rays Of heat and light are quite
independent Of each other In their abli-
Ity to penetrate dinerent substances.
For illustration. glass allows the sums
heat to. pass through as readily as Il
does tile rays OF light. and that without
hentiue the glass too. If the glass be
coated with lampblaelz, however, the
rays of light are arrested, but the heat
passes, through as before, not single
degrees difference In the Inter phe-
nomenon being noticeable. Then, again.
both heat and light pass through wa-
ter. provided 1t Is clear. One of the
oddities ia this connection Is this: Al
though the heat and light pass through
water in it's normal state, the addition
Of a little powdered alum, which readi-
IN dissolves without leaving the least
murSiness, VIII arrest the rays Of heat
TO such an extent as to almost immedi7
ately raise the temperature OF the wa
ter to a perceptible degree, yet the light
continues to pass through as before
Ice. like glass, also transmits both
heat and Hight. DR. Sutherland In cob
serVations Upon the Icebergs Of Bnf-
dn's Bay says: Several pieces OF
granite were found deeIly Embedded
| in ice without any communications
with outzide air These were all sur
rounded with what might be termed
an atmosphere of water" The ex-
PLANTATION OF such an oddly is this: The
heat passing through the ice had been
absorbed by the stones until their tenn
| pera ture had been raised to degree
sufficient to melt the ice around them.
