Extract

The following facts appear to have been conclusively established by universal experience:—

1. Nearly all, if not all, solid substances become self-luminous at the same temperature.

2. The red rays are the first to become visible, and, on increasing the temperature, colours of less wave-lengths are successively added in the order of their wave-lengths.

3. While colours of shorter wave-lengths are being added, those which were previously visible become more intense.
