failed in his effort TO make the powder

with locker on and failing TO detect
anything wrong in the powder the
farmer suddenly came to the conclu
sion that 1t would not go off because II
had been shot before.

THE ELECTRIC CRATER.
How the Arc Light 10 Produced Dc
tween the Electrodes.


Everybody knows that an arc light
Is formed by causing an electric cur
rent TO pass between the points Of two
carbon rods. One Of these is called
the positive and the other the mega.
tive electrode, and the current passes
FROM the former 10 the latter. Parti
cles Of carbon are carried on from the
positive electrode until it's end be
comes cup shaped.
To the little cup thus formed the
name OF crater IL applied, and from
this crater four-ffths OF the light IL
emitted. The negative elcctrode does
not become so hot as the other. Be
tween the two little cloud OF vapor.
lied carbon IL formed, rising from the
crater, and this vapor gives forth a
golden yellow light. But II is over.
powered by the light Of the crater IT,
self, which has violet tinge due to the
incandescence Of solid particles Of car.
bon. The arc OF light extended from
one electrode TO the other also has an
axis OF violet color which Is It's most
brilliant part. The fact that most of
the luminosity comes from the crater
explains the reason why the light does
not appear equal I'm all directions. II
Is brightest from that point Of view
which shows the largest portion Of the
crater.
An interesting effect Is often noticed
when flies or other insects flutter about
an arc light. Their shadows cast on a
neighboring wall appear gigantic The
reason Is that the light OF the crater
is concentrated in point smaller than
the bodies Of the insects, and the bound.
aries Of the shadows consequently
widen with increase OF distance.-St.
