But in this first discovery of a relationship between light and magnetism Faraday had not taken the more important step that he coveted to determine whether the vibration period of a light-emitting particle is subject to change in a magnetic field. He attempted this in 1862 the last experiment of his life.

The chamber widened out from the portal in what seemed to be the arc of an immense circle. The shining walls held a perceptible curve, and from this curvature I estimated that the roof was fully three hundred feet above us. The floor was of smooth, mosaic-fitted blocks of a faintly yellow tinge. They were not light-emitting like the blocks that formed the walls.

I concluded that whoever had made them, knew the secret of the Almighty's manufacture of light from the ether itself! Colossal! Da! But the substance of these blocks confines an atomic how would you say atomic manipulation, a conscious arrangement of electrons, light-emitting and perhaps indefinitely so.

And that magn too is worse than useless." "You probably know what you are talking about, Oceaxe. But what do you advise me to do?" She negligently pointed to the light-emitting stone lying on the ground. "There is the solution. If you hold that drude to your organs for a good while, perhaps it will start the change, and perhaps nature will do the rest during the night. I promise nothing."

Notwithstanding this fact, and assuming that we have here the whole reason of the existence of the light-emitting power, a study of the firefly's habits compels us to believe that the insect would be just as well off without the power as with it.

And if their great light-transmitting power is exactly complementary to their small light-emitting power, there seems no reason why the interior of the Sun, disclosed to us by openings in the photosphere, should not appear as bright as its exterior. Take, on the other hand, the supposition that a more advanced state of concentration has been reached.
