 For viewing objects illuminated by artificial light when it is desired to see such objects exactly as they would ap- pear in daylight, Fl. E. Ives, the Eng fish physicist, suggests colored glass spectacles The glass would be cover ed with a collodion or gelatin surface' stained with aniine dyes carefully se- Iected to filter out the light rays pecu- liar to artificial light. For each kind of the latter a special formula would have to be followed in preparing the spectacles. These spectacles would be useful in many industries, as, for ex- ample, the making of artificial teeth, where color has to be most accurately matched They might also be lent to visitors at picture galleries by night or on dark days, when artificial llumina- tion is employed, in order to insure the most favorable view of the pictures New York World.
