The principles of light and color: including among other things the harmonic laws of the universe, the etherio-atomic philosophy of force, chromo chemistry, chromo therapeutics, and the general philosophy of the fine forces, together with numerous discoveries and practical applications .. . nts an elliptical dish of one focus of its ellipse, a dropof the fluid is allowed to fall which,spreading over its calm surface in con-centric waves, is reflected from theother end in a series of waves whichencircle the other focus much asthough a drop of the liquid had beenallowed to fall there also. This wave movement in a quiet en-closed dish is quite a different thing from the stormy undulationswhich take place in the fields of space. Take even a tempeston the ocean, which is as nothing in comparison with what isconstantly occurring in the suns atmosphere, and what becomesof any regular system of undulations. Fig. 182 correctly repre-sents a storm at sea. Fig. 183 gives a feeble representationof a solar cyclone, as observed by Secchi. 3. Those who insist that colors are formed by differentsized waves of ether, exactly as sound is, should tell just howit is that 39,000 waves to an inch are formulated by the sunto produce the effect of red, or 44,000 to produce yellow, or. 182.
