Radiation is affected by the na- ture of the surface of the body : thus black and rough surfaces ra- diate and absorb more heat than light and polished surfaces. Table of the radiating power of different bodies.

It therefore follows that the external surfaces of the steam-pipes of steam- engines and steam-cylinders should be as smooth as possible, and should be covered with any body which is a bad conductor of heat. Heaven (in the Table of Symbols of the early ages) is symbolized by the segment of a circle, sometimes of blue or of the three colours of the rainbow ; the Universe, by a globe of blue.
