Iino Kxtkrimknts A Brilliant Awtrwnunr..
A brilliant nudlenco assemhlod Inxt tvenlng at the
Arademy of Music, to hear Professor Henry Morton's
gsent leetureon "ltefrnctlon, or Prisms mid Lenses."
The Professor Illustrated his lecture by number of
beautiful experiments, which Kve Infinite snllsfainloQ
to the large audience assembled. The experiments
-. constated of spectrum annbsls,. and a very pleating
' series ot dissolving views. About eight O'clock the
Professor made his appearance on the stage, lie was
received with npplnuse, and spoke substantially aa
. follows:
Ladles and gentlemen: On t previous occasion I
had the honor of explaining to you how luminous
bodies communicated that vibratory movement which
constituted their light to the surrounding fluid In a
series of waves, by which It was propagated In all
directions and conveyed to distant objects and places.
This evening 1 propose w ith you to follow .tome of
these waves as they fly. and to Investigate tho nature
of those changes they suffer when encountering dome
but transparent substances, such as gloss, Water and
tho like.
In studying these actions we must confine our at
tention at first to a single series of successive waves,
ucli as might In some sort he Indicated by what Is
commonly called a wavo line, and which we denomi
nate a rny of light. This, as we have before seen by
numerous experiments, proceeds In a perfectly straight
line, unless Interrupted In its progress, as, for cxamplo,
In the following case: Suppose tuut a ray of light
comes obliquely upon a donse body, such as a plate o f
Klaus; us it enters this surface it experiences a bend or
breaking of its utralfe-ht path, and pursuus its course
within the gloss in a direction more nearly perpen
dlcular to the snrfuco by which It entered than was tts
road before. On lonvlngthe gl:vss upon the other side
this action is exactly reversed, and If the two Biirfucei
of the glass are parallel the ray Is thus restored to Its
original direction. '
. This action Is culled re ruction, and by your permis
sion I will endeavor, by the tm of a simple Illustra
tion, to give some general Indication at to Its causo.
first, however, I must premise that oycaroful und
direct experiment it has been determined that lUht
waves or rays are n.tarded in their advance through
dense bodies. i
Let us, then, Imagine' that a body of troops was ad
vancing obliquely across this siagu towards the or
chestra, and continued their march Into the house.
The foot-lights, the front of tho stage, and also tho
seats beyond, present obstacles which would retard
the rate of advance, as we may easily Imagine, but
what eilect would this havoupon lis direction. Clearly
this:- .
Suppose the right file of the column llr.H to roach
the stage front, he would bj retarded, while his left
file would still be advancing freely, and In like man
ner with the rest of the lino which Would thus be
swung round, so as to advance. In a direction more
marly perpendicular to the face of the obstruction
than their previous course. The revcrso of this would
clearly harpen ln leaving such an obstructed region
for clear ground, nnd an opposite and equal dellection
would be the result. Thus U It with the wave or ray
of light, Its front Is thus swung round, nnd Its course
changed, by the process termed in one word refraction.
To Illustrate this action, wo have many curious ex
periments. Thus, J cause u broad arrow of light to
be projected upon the screen, nnd then a piece to be
taken out of this and set oil' to one side by the Interpo
sition of a glass bar. somewhat Inclined; the glass bar
tnukes a double elbow in the light which passes
through It, and thus setu this part away from the rest,
which pursues Us course undisturbed.
Again, a tank of fresh water, containing fish, lizards
nun other creatures Is placed as an obect ln the
lantern, and its enlarged image is thrown, ns you
perceive, upon the screen. Into this salt water Is now
caused to run, and as these liquids mingle at all sur
luces of contact, the light ravs are bent, us by the
gloss bar In the last experiment, and thus being turned
awny from some points and concentrated upon others,
clevelope light and dark markings ln the curling
nirenniB, which on the screen produce the effect of
some Bubniatiue volcano casting out Its clouds of
smoke and steum among the frightened llsh aud ocean
monsters. ... . . . - ,,
In a fresh tank of water a fountain of crimson fluid
was caused to flow. In like manner producing on the
screen a magnificent Jet of thirty feet in height, with
clearly outlined edges and shaded markings, due to the
same effect ot refraction.
Various changes In color. Illustrating other points In
relation to this subject, were shown with this appa
ratus, with the most beautiful mid Impressive effect.
In one cose we seemed to see the glories of a summer
sunset, with Its changing, crimson clouds unfolding
upon the screen: then came the grand gathering of the
Storm clouds, rolling aud tumbling together In vast
confusion, but presently melting away Into u clear ex
panse of blue. .
After these a clear glass goblet took Its place upon
the screen in towering magnitude. Into this a stream
of visibly clear and limpid water was seen to flow, but
as the water filled It the goblet became black, theltglit
being all refracted by the fluid to a single band seen in
the middle. The stem of this glass was then broken
by tho same means as the arrow before, yet it stood
uninjured. ...
After these general Illustrations of rofraotlon. Pro
fessor Morton then proceeded to explain the special
u'Hnn nfihR nrisin: how this ihent a ray of light, and
how bending the different colors differently In propor
tion to the different rapidity of their undulations, it
dispersed or divided a ray or light Into the colors of the
prismatic spectrum.
A splendid spectrum more than ten feel In length
was then thrown by the I'rolessor from a lantern at
the front of the stage iipou a movable screen. If, how
ever, the light used were not white, hut of a single
color, as vellow, In place of the varlpgated spectrum,
but a single baud of the color In question would be
shown upon the screen. The line was here removed
from the lantern, and Its place supplied by a rod of
glass, which In the oxhydrogen Home yields a pure
yellow light: a distinct band of yellow was then seen
to take the place of the spectrum upon the screen.
Different bodies In vapor Huge flames with various
colors. This was shown by surrounding five colorless
flames of mingled gns and air, with live rings ot lump
wick soaked In aqueous solutions of different salts,
when the flames were colored yellow, crimson, blue,
violet, and green, respectively.
The amount of substance required to produce this
effect Is extremely small, especially If the light Is con
centrated by the uctlon of a prism, which, In these
cases, will throw all the 11,'ln into certain lines or
bunds. This property thus becomes the means of a
most delicate analysis, known asspectrum analysis. In
which, by examining the flume In which an unknown
body is heated, through a prism with proper appli
ances, we detect its composition by the presence of
certain bright colored lines which then make their ap
pearance. This property belongs only to gases and
vapors, not to solid bodies. Tho solid lime gave a con
tinuous spectrum: It was the vapor of soda driven
off from the glass which produced the yellow.
It lias bv this means been shown that some of tho
nehultu, such us the dumb-bell, the great nehuha ln
Orion, c, are not, as before supposed, vast clusters qf
suns, but simplv gaseous systems, since they show a
lew lines only when examined by tills prism test.
Again, the white light from u solid body passing
through a hlghlv heated luminous vapor, loses such
colored ravs as belong to that vapor Itself; these wave
motions are given to, and absorbed by. the particles of
the gas. The advancing light then continues its course,
deprived of these special parts, nud If analyzed by the
prism will show blank spaces or black lines where
these colors should have been. This Is the case with
the light from the sun and from the fixed stars. A
photograph of the solnr spectrum, taken by Mr. L. M.
Butl.erfiiid, of Now York, showing a vast number of
these lines, was here protected upon the screen. Many
of these lines correspond exactly with the bright linos
produced by cerlain substances, hence wo Judge that
these bodies exist in the atmosphere of the sun. The
bright lines of other bodies do not find any corres
ponding dark ones, and we conclude such are not pre
sent in our luminary. We have thus, by the potent
prism, not only detected the composition ot the ne
Culm, nut actually analyzed the nun.
Passing from the prism, whose other uses we will
not Htiemnt on this occasion to discuss or Illustrate.
the next Nimpie Instrument in which Hie process of
refraction Is made usettii is me lens, in is, in its or
dinary form, coi.slsls ot a piese of glass, having two
nmioHitn convex curved surfaces. Let us see how
these will act by their refracting power upon a ray of
iy means of a luminous colored diagram projectod
upon the screen, the action of a lens aud the manner
in which it produced un Image of Hny object, was
then very simply and clearly explained; und by means
nf other diauruins the errors know n as spherical and
chromatic aberration were shown and thoir means of
correction made manifest.
In connection with the action of a lens the loturer
remarked: We huve from time to time appealed to
the sister science of sound In confirmation or lllus
tratlon of our theory of light, and it is Interesting to
notice that the parallelism which has served usso ollen
does not desert us here. We. may huve a lens for
sound as well as for lljilit.
Monsieur t-ondiiKs devised this curious experiment,
He tireiiared two socUh or cans of collodion dim.
which he united by then- edges with a brass ring; lie
then poised carbonic acid gas luto the Interior until
tliA Hiu-s were lilted and dilated, when he had a lens-
shaped butloon tilled with u douse gas which would
act upon sound waves, retarding, and hence refracting
them, exactly as glass does upon llghu
r lie fouud. in fact, that avesor rays of sound railing
on tills acini nt in Inm were combined and centred at
certain points Juslos we have s -en llglit waves or ru-t
to be. If tho wave theory of light needed any such
support, this would be a strong confirmation of Its
irniu.
The annlicutlou of the lens in various optical Instru
ments, such us the microscope, lelewope, camera and
magic lantern, was men urieiiy inn cieany exiiininu'i:
trier which, in Illustration of these, a series of niioto

term dissolving views. This Brt of the perfuruintce
was most beautiful and eulcruiiruiig, inn our space lurj

In conclusion, we belh ve that we are expressing the
unanimous opinion ol the large audience present on
Ibis Hson former like occasions, when we say that we
cannot tpcak too highly of Professor Morton's ability

treats, nor of Hie Judgment nud admirable purHise of

most liberal band. No citizen of this good city should ,
feel that he Is doing his duty to himself and his fellow
citizens, unless he is giving his aid to this thorouguly
good work.
It will be of Interest to manyo our readers who,
listening with pleasure to I'roiossor Morton's expia
tions of light and Its works, wish to know more, that
Messrs. 3. Xi. l.lpplncott t CO. have published a little
work, "The Htudent's Practical Chemistry." In which
the Professor has developed, and with his own pencil
Illustrated, In some one hundred and sixty wood cuts,

work. Issued about the new year, was exhausted some
weeks since, but we see that another, with correction

A Family Poisoned. Five members of
a Inmily of seven individuals residnm in tho
FOtithern pnrt of this city were taken with
violent retchinp, a day or two since, shortly
alter dinner. It waa suppcod they hd been
poisoned. The family had pork for dinner,
nnd the sickness was attributed to this, bocaimo
the two who were net taken sick had not par
tRken of It. All the parties speedily recovered.
There seems to be more or less disease prevail
ing among; the cattle, sheep, and hogs. In fjlu
chbo, a snort time since, a lareo number of
slaughtered hoes and sheep were discovered
to be diseased, and their sale was at onco pro
hibited by the authorities. Slieen ani hot's daily
arrive from the West, some r.li7c, and others
already slaufhtered. Citizens should purchase
their meat from well-known victuallers worthy
of confidence, and avoid the "snlnners" aud
others who occupy market stands and pass them
selves off as larmers Bv adopting this course,
diseased meat would seldom find its wav into
families, ln regard to cattle, thore Is evidently
a singular disease prevailing among them. We
noticed the (act in this paper some five or
six months ago, since which time the disease
appenrs to have increased ln extent, if not lu
violence,
Anotueb Oil CA6E. Five persons con
cerned In the formation ot the "Monongalia Oil
and Minlne Company" had a hearing before
tho Recorder yesterday, on a charge of con
spiracy. Several witnesses were examined,
who testified that tho representations upon
which they had been induced to ko Into the
company were, that the land, consisting; of six
hundred and eighty-four acres, and located ln
West Virginia, had pood oil developments: and
Ihot npou tho payment of one thousand dol
lars they were to be upon the "ground floor,"
and to have an equal interest with those
concerned in the formation of the company;
furlher, it waa represented tnat the land waa
to cost sixty thousand dollars. These repre
sentations, it ic alleeed, were not true that
instead ot the land costing sixty thonsand dol
lars', only twenty-eisht thousand were paid for
it, and that there were no oil developments at all,
or at least not such as to Justify any expecta
tion of oil being found lu paying quantities.
The hearing will be continued on Friday next.
Lecture by Kev. IIenby Ward
Bfecheb. Ever since the close of tho Rebollion
our citizens have been anxious to hear from the
Rev. Mr. lieecher face to fac?. That desire can
be gratified at Concert Hall on Wednesday even
ing, the 21st instant, where and when this popu
lar orator and eloquent champion of human
rights will deliver a lecture entitled "Work and
Workmen." . In order to till the house to over
flowing, it will only be necessary for us to add
that the sale of tickets commences at Mr. 01 a x
ton's (late Martien's), at 12 o'clock today. The
price of tickets has been placed at fifty c?nts,
and a limited number of reFerved seats will be
sold at twenty-live cents extra. The expressed
eagerness on the port of the public to hear Mr.
Beecher discuss this subject at this particular
juncture is intense, and those who desire tickets
will consequently be obliged , to apply imme
diately. The Government Assay. The Govern
ment Assay Commission has been in session at

slightly damaged bv Hre. The lire orlinnated in
the lampblack department.
About one o'clock in the afternoon a slight
fire occurred at No. 1979 Bpruce street. The

tory of Fitzpatrick & Co., at Manayunk, caught
fire from lighting the gas. The Iojs is about six
hundred dollars, principally from watftr.
Shocking Accident. Frank Dornan,
aged 12 years, hod his ri?ht hand cut off last
evening, at Yost's carriage manufactory, Third
street and Guard avenue. The accident was
occasioned by a circular saw, with which he was
playing during the absence of the workmen. He
was removed to St. josepn's Hospital.
