No such in- stance can be found in any text-book on earth. No man. has ever yet been able to make one ray of light quenck Digitized by Google IN ETHER. lOI another. As the reader may not have time or opportunity to search through all the books on light to see for himself that the foregoing assertions are true, I will quote the language of a very high authority corroborating them. In Deschanel's Natural Philosophy, translated by Pro- fessor J. D. Everett, and published by D. Appleton & Company, ...on page 1049, we find the following words: ** Beams of light firom different sources, even from differ- ent points of the same flame, or from different parts of the sun's disc, cannot, by any treatment whatever, be made to exhibit the phenomena of mutual interference." He gives a reason why, but that reason applies as well to light in the case of shadows. All kinds of light, from all sources, in all circumstances, if the rays are intercepted by an opaque body, produce a shadow — they say because the rays behind the intervening body are cut off by inter- ference; that is, the rays which flow around the body on different sides of it meet and cross each other, and in the language of common life, put out each other, and result in darkness; and yet man has never been able, * ' by any treatment whatever, ' ' to cause one beam of light to cut off or darken another beam or ray.
