A German astronomer has recently

on the theoretical effects of a change
in the color of the sun. 1t Is amusing
to consider the possibilities If the sun
were green, blue or red instead of what
1t is. If 1t were blue there would be
only two ColorS in the world-blue and
black. If 1t were red then everything
would be red or black. If it were wei
low everything would be yellow or
black. Everyone knows that the light
Of the sun consists Of six colors, and
the reason things are different hues is
that some swallow up five of the colors
and reflect only one. Thus primroses
are yellow because they absorb all but
the yellow, roses red because they alb
sorb all but the red, violets purple be,
cause they absorb everything but red
and blue, mixture of which two col
ors forms purple.
In the event Of the sun being red
roses, blood, red ink and all other
things that are now red would reflect
it. SO also would snow, the lily and
