LIGHT AND HEAT.
How They Reach Us From Out tho Icy

How They Reach Us From Out tho Icy
Goodness Of Space.
In answer to the question. ut Is
thought that in space eternal cold and
darkness prevail-what then is the ex.
planation OF the fact that both light
and heat from the sun, some 90,000,'
GOO miles away in cold space, reach
the earth?' Edgar Lucien Larkin in
the New York American says:
Heat and light as such do not
reach the earth from our own and
. 100,000,000 more suns. Radiant energy
is transmitted by undulations or waves
in electrons. which energy Is In the
forms Of waves Of varying lengths and
amplltudes. When some Of these en-
ergy impulses implnge on matter able
to receive and appropriate them heat
and light result
MANY molecules In many thousands
Of kinds Of matter are able to trans
late energy waves into heat, while
others are translated as light on the
retina Of the eye and In the brain
But no heat nor light develops until
the waves strike forms Of matter ftted
to receive appropriate and translate.
"Thus energy will pass through a
burning glass made OF ice. converge
to focus and set light objects OF
FIRE"

The food is not luxurious, and very
little fresh meat is to be had. The
fuel is wood, and every FIVE or six
hours the boat must stop to replenish
the supply from a heap Of cut sticks
on the bank. These piles of wood are
made by natives or by scattered trad.
ers, often where no habitatiOn Is near,
and in such cases the captain pays for
the wood by putting money in a box
that the trusting woodsman has pro-
vided for the purpose.
Every boat carries drum, and as 1t
approaches an inhabited district the
drum is beaten to tell the natives that
goats, fruit or vegetables are wanted.
Every night the steamer ties up against
the bank. and all the black passengers
go to sleep on shore. But they devote
most Of the night to merrymaking and
keep those on the boat as wide awake
as themselves. Youths Companion.
