had microscopes magnifying bill
lions of diameters, a piece of steel
might appear to us as mist or
metallic dust. The second fact is
that light behaves as If Ii was con-
veyed in the form of waves, or un-
dulations, in 4 medium whose con-
stituents are so fine that it can
pass readily through the interstices
of every kind OF matter, and can
and does exist throughout all bodies,
somewhat as air penetrates through
a sponge. We call this ideal me-
dium the ether, and to it the solid
est substances are as open as the
thick foliage of a forest to the in
sects flying about among the leaves
and, indeed, far more open.
With these facts in mind let us
turn to the light-waves in the
ether. For the purpose of illustra-
ton, we may liken these to waves
in water. Even the smallest ripple
on a pond is very large, indeed a
gigantic, thing compared with the
ultimate particles of water. Just
so the lightwaves, although they
average only the 50,00Oth of an inch
in length, are immensely large in
comparison with what. for lack of
any precise expression, we may call
the grain" of the ether. Conse-
quently, the ether itself, as me-
dium, may penetrate easily wher,
waves formed in the ether are too
large to pass. 1t follows that the
ether can exist throughout solio
bodies, even though the light-waves
cannot go through them.
For greater clearness, let us push
this illustration a little further,
Suppose that in front of a seashore
where the water is quite deep a
great number of stakes. or piles.
are driven in an regular, higgledy-
piggledy manner. When a wave
comes in it will be broken up by
Lhase piles. and IL there is a space
of water behind them the wave will
not reach it. We may say that the
mas sof piles arranged in that ir-
regular way Is Opaque" to the
water waves. as a piece of wood il
opaque to light waves.
But now alter the arrangement OF
the niles and set them in rows run
ming in the direction in which the
inco ming waves move. In this case,
although there will be slight par
tiaI stoppaCe OF the waves. yet they
will sweep on between the rows OF
niles and across the space of water
behind tn I'M and will break upon
the beach with nearly as much
force as II there had been no piles
in the way. The mass OF piles Is
now "tran.lucent," or transparent"
TO the water waves, as piece OF
glass is transparent to the light
waves.
our Illustration enables us to
perceive the rationale OF trans
parency and opaqueness as on
posite qualities OF different solids.
Il makes II evident that neither
soIidity nor lack OF solidity In IT.
self has anything to do with the
passage or non-passage OF the
llgnt. but that the real cause must
be SOUGHT in the arrangement OF
the particles. or molecules. OF the
substance in relation to the way the
nght.waNes impinge upon them. lf
that relation is, in effect 1--WE
could not expect II to be identical
in detaiD. the same as that exist
ing between the piles and the water
waves in the two cases we have
described. then we have an eNpla-
nation Of the interruption OF the
light by one solid and of It's trans
mission by the other. Thus we take
one good, large step back into the
arcana Of natures workings, but

bottom. 1t is exceedinly interest
ing, however, to have got so far. If

low the earth's surface furnishes
us with novel facts we should make
the most of them and not worry

this matter further with some
really beautiful facts about the

WHEN?

when mud turtles soar in the air;
when elephants climb trees and sing;
When the stork has four legs like a bear.
And wears neither feather nor wing:
when the dog has a head at each end.
And lives upon nothing but flowers;
Twill be then, and no sooner, my friend,
That you'll find a better column than
ours
CLEOPATRA.
