A phenomenon, the cause of which has notyet been satisfactorily explained, was recentlyobserved by a Government scientist during thocourse of certain experiments. Disks of loaf sugar were mounted on a latheand rapidly rotated while a hammer playedlightly against them. An almost continuousradiation of light was thus produced from thosugar. It was shown that the light did notarise from heating of the sugar, and it isbelieved to have been caused by some changetaking place in the sugar crystals. Tho act ofcrystallization is known to be sometimesaccompanied by flashes of light.
