MYSTERY OF LIGHT
Some Luminosity So Intense the
Eyes Cannot See It.
THE RIDDLE OF THE FIREFLY.
So Far It Has Baffled Science, but
When It Is Solved, at It Eventually
Will Be. We Shall Have Light With
out Heat and the Perfect Lamp.
The scientist set down h small Mack
box nnd impatiently pushed aside the
powerful microscope nnd the delicate
I >olonioter. "It Is most discoHraKinjj."
he muttered, "to hire such h treasure
before one's e.ves and still bo nun Me
to prasp It."
I looked In the little hox, surprised
to find nothing ItY a few hrilliant fire
flies. The scientist heiran to explain.
"In that hox Is the most efficient II
luminanl known to man. Th radiant
output from one of those Inseets cor
responds to nearly fift> watts a can
dle. while our -very Ik-s( artifl< lal illu
:
only two or three watts to the mndle
The light from those Insects, as re
corded by the bolometer, r. diates li:t!e
if any heat, while the very best Incan
descent lamps waste more iiian 1 ! ihm
cent of the elect Hon I energy In useless
heat. If 1 could read this secret of
the insect world and make a lamp aft
er its pattern 1 could produce ">l '"in
die power from the same current that
Kives sixteen candle power today. Some
dav the secret will be road."
The source of all light (except the
light from fireflies and their kin) Is a
substance raised to a temperature suf
IHlent to set up waves in the sur
rounding ether, which, when falling
upon the eye. produce the sensation
we know as light. IJght waves vary
in length between one thirty-three
thousn ml Torn -hundredth and one six
ty-five-thousandth of an inch, the first
i>eiug extreme rod and the second ex
treme violet. Kays of white light
have a length of one forty five-thou
sandth of an inch. The sun is a great
mass of white hot matter, it is the at
mosphere that enables us to see light,
nnd outside of our atmosphere it Is ab
of Mammoth cave. In an arc lamp it
; Is the white hot particles of carbon
floating between the two electrodes
that produce light. In the ineandes
cent lamp it is the hairpin filament in
side the glass globe that, when heated
In pas and oil lamps light is produced
by the heated particles of carbon in the
flames above the wick or mantle.
The eye can stand without tiring a
brilliance of about five candle power
to the square ln< h of surface. The or
dinary candle flame gives only two or
three candle power to the square Inch,
while the sun at renlth gives 000,000.
The arc light ranks next to sunlight,
with 10.000 candle power an Inch, and
the best tungsten filament incandes
cent* give 1,000 candle power. This
means that if the sun could be chang
od into a ball of tungsten it would
throw off only 1,000 candle power of
j light from every square inch of its
surface, when the world would be
practically dark and we should freeze
to death In a week.
The prism shows that white light is
composed of a happy blend of all col
ors of the s|>ectnim. The sun gives
the only pure white light, with the arc
lamps a close second nnd the meial
filament incandescent-* taking third
i place. Sky light, such as conies from
the north on a clear day. is bluish
white. Gas mantles give greenish
light, open flame yellow light and kero
sene orange light.
By the laws of evolution the human
eye has become accustomed to sun
light, or sky light, coming obliquely
from above, nnd our eyes resent light
coming from any other source. Snow
blindness, distress from white sand or
water. Is the result of violating this
| rule. The upper eyelid is adapted to
shade the eye from a strong light
frvtn above. The lower lid cannot per
form this office, so when a strong light
is reflected up into the eyes it blinds
us.
The X rav has proved beyond doobt
that there nre light rays whtch move
too fast for human eyes to register.
This light penetrates books, wood, pa
per nnd even human flesh. With the
flnoroscope to assist our eyes we can
see the bones in our arm without both
ering to remove coat or shirt. Rut a
man with X ray eyes would be sadly
handicapped in this world, for he
could see nothing but solids, such as
earths and metals, and would be nn
nble to see a board fence at all. Be
yond doubt there is light so bright
that the eyes cannot see It. nnd to us
all is darkness beyond what our eyes
will register.
Light rays themselves are invisible.
When they move through the ether
alone our eyes cannot see them, conse
quently all is total darkness. But
when they meet with the resistance of
our atmosphere, producing heat, they
register on the retina and? behold, we
can see! As the atmosphere thins
rapidly as we go upward, so in pro
portion the air resistance diminishes,
and consequently the heat of the sun
1 seems to grow less. This explains
, why the tops of high mountains are
always covered with snow.
Many wonderful discoveries haro
? been recorded In the Illuminating field
' of late, and it Is safe to say that thl=
, branch of science affords one of the
greatest fields for research and Inven
' Hon. Each year our artificial illutni
? nants are Improved, but they are far
, from being perfect. Not until the sr
cret of the firefly is read and light I*
' produced without heat will our even
? ing lamps be perfect -Chicago Record
