The Color of Gold.
From the Toledo Blade

When you look at bit OF pure gold
you are quite well satisfied that il is
of light yellow color. 1t only ap-
pears so. The white light reflected
from its surface has the effect OF
adulterating the color rays from the
metal and it appears much lighter
than 1t really is. If this white light
is eliminated. the color is d brilliant
orange. Beaten to it's greatest pos
sibility of thinness. II becomes trans
parent to light, and, held up and look
ed through. it becomes lively sage
green. Reduced to a fine powder. II
