Discussed.

length give us red. These vibrations
can be measured. One day, quite by
chance, 1 came across the statement
that there were innumerable light
waves longer than those which give
violet. At once the question sprang,
wese these longer waves represented
by colors which we don't see, colors
for which we have no IN colors OF.
which we can form no conception?
And was the same thing true of the
waves which, growing shorter

There is room, of course, for myriads
Of colors beyond this other extremity
of our vision.
A little study convinced me that
my guess was right, for all the colors
which we see are represented to our
sense of feeling in degrees of heat;
