NOISY COLORS.
Sounds That Light Gives Out When
Blended With Various Hues.

Sounds That Light Gives Out When
Blended With Various Hues.
1t is no unusual thing to see ray OF
light but have you ever heard one?
Recent experiments, described in Har-
per's Weekly, prove that a beam of
light can, under certain conditions,
produce perfectly clear and distinct
sounds.
A ray Of sunlight is thrown through
q lens on glass vessel that contains
lampblack, colored silk or worsted. A
disk with Sits or openings cut in it is
made to revolve swiftly in this beam
of light so as to "cut it up" and cause
alternate flashes of light and shadow.
When you place your ear to the glass
vessel you hear strange sounds as long
as the flashing beam falls upon the
vessel.
A still more extraordinary effect is
produced when the beam Of sunlight
Is made to pass through prism so as
to produce the solar spectrum. The
disk is turned rapidly. and the colored
light Of the rainbow breaks through it
and falls on the glass vessel. Now If
you place your ear to the glass you will
hear sounds from certain parts of the
spectrum, but none from the others.
For example, If the vessel contains
red worsted and the green light fash
es upon 1t quite loud sounds will be
given out Only feeble sounds will be
heard when the red and blue ends of
the spectrum fall upon the vessel. 9th
er colors produce no sounds at all.
Green silk gives out sound best in a
red light. Every kind Of material gives
more or less sound In different colors
and no sound at all in others.

up the statement by producing
