mumaauofmssveis ra. j. KSf I hi it ' WILLAMETTE FARMER 1lSCELLEOdSr The Interference of Light. The undulatory theory of light is now uni versally admitted to be the true one, and by it many things may be accounted for which other wise have no rational explanation. Among them may be mentioned the snbject of the in terference of rays of light. Tyudall has de fined the interference of light as follows, viz: "The action of one sytem of waves npon another, whereby the oscillatory motion is either angmented or diminished, is called in terference. In relation to optical phenomena it is called the interference of light." Bearing in mind that the same general laws annlv to li'iht and sonnd (and. to a certain ex tent, to water) we must at the same time dis. tingnish between the motion of the wave and constitute the wave. For, while the wave mo tion may be propagated through long distances, the motion of the particles is confined to a small orbit. In the case of an object floating on water while the wave rushes on the object is not carried with it, but appears to move up and down. So it is in a wave of light, the motion carries the particle of ether up and down, and this dis tance which the particle moves up and down, is called the displacement or amplitude. One thing, however, must be borne in mind, t. e., that the motion of a wave of light is in every direction from the source, so that the wave front is a sphere, and the illustration Riven above of an object on the water would only to one point in one pan ot me wave, How. in the case of licht nroceeding from two different sources, it can easily be seen that the waves from one must have an eilect npon tnose from the other. Tyndall illustrates this by taking the case of two stones dropped into still water at the same time. Littlo waves will begin to radiate from each in circles; at some point the first, or out side ripple from one stone will reach the first ripple lrom the other. Now, it will be seen that if the crestH of these two happen to meet, tho tendency of both is to "push up," or, if the furrows meet, the effort of both is to "push down," and tho result will be that when creBt coincides with crest, or furrow with furrow, the night of the crest and the depth of the furrow will be twice that of either alono. If, on the other band, the two ripples happen to come together in such way that the crest of one strikes tho furrow of the other, the tend ency of one will be to elevate while that of the other will be to depress: and. snnnosine the two waves equal, the ro-ult will be that the two actions will counteract each other, and stillness will be the result. This phenomena of motion added to motion, producing no motion, is called interference; and when these phenomena relate to light, they are called the interference of light, and by the principle of interference are explained some of the most beautiful phenomena in nature depth of the sea, which the recent explorations of the Cliallengtr go far to show to be in accord ance the theory that its greatest depth is equivalent to the height of the highest elevu- I tions above its level. The deepest sea sounding1) yet effected were obtained by the Challenger, in the abysses off New Guinea, depths which have occasioned a sharp line of demarcation between the fauna or Asia and Australasia. The "lead" weighed four hundred pounds, and struck bottom at the tremendons depth of -1,575 fathoms, or a little over five miles. The hollow rod, by which specimens of the bottom are brought up, was ' full of mud, and both the thermometers that had been fent down were smashed to atoms by the enormous pressure of the superincumbent , water. A previous unsuccessful attempt to reach the bottom, but in which 4,545 fathoms were sounded, showed the temperature at that depth to bo 33 degrees Fahr. S. F.

Tho statement made, by us some weeks sinco that the Edgar TbomBon steel works had not only rolled a specimen sixty-foot rail but had filled an order for some of the pome length, has called out considerable discussion as to their superiority over the ordinary thirty-foot rail, which has generally been in favor of the sixty-foot. In tho first place they of course cost no more per pound than the thirty-foot, and even less, while two crop ends are saved. This is an item of no small momont, IIow to use crop ends economically is one of the serious pro Diem s at Ileasemer works. Two thirty-foot rails give four orops, and a Bixty.foot but two, ' which at once takes out of the question fifty per centof the difficulty. With a view to this cheapening of production by reducing waste thoso works were designed to make sixty-foot rails. Tho saving in their use by railroads is not so evident, but it would doubtless bo found more economical to use the longer rail. Tho cost of laying them will be less and tho wear and tear of rolling htock as well as tho rails themselves will bo much lessoned. A larger port of this wear and tear is due to tho "hammoring" caused by tho shock in passing from ono rail to another, and on a track with sixty-foot rails the number of joints will be lessened ouo-half. Some of tho sixty-foot roils ordered; have been for laying on bridges, on the supposition that reducing the number of joints will reduce tho strain on the parts of tho bridge. What the effect" of expansion upon a track laid with these longer rails will be is doubtful. Of courso with only half as many joints the distance between tho rails allowed for expansion and contraction will have to be greater, but in arranging tho track for hot ami cold weather only half us many joints will have, to be at tended to.

Oerstodt of Copenhagen, who in 1819 discov ered the relation between electricity oud mag netism, a discovery which was the first stop in the invention of the modern telegraph, was tho first who practically demonstrated nnd measured the amount of compressibility of wa ter and othor liquids, by means of an appara tus still named utter him. It consists of a small hydraulic press, of which the piston is pressed poworfully down by menus of a screw, so as readily to produce pressures of COO, 1,000, uud fi.ven 5,000 and more pounds per square inou. The walls, being of extremely strong glass, give opportunity to observe, the instruments of measurement enclosed. Exper iments with this apparatus thow that Witter at a depth of thirty-two feet exhibits a pressure of llfleen pounds to the tquaro inch; at ICO feet, seenty-tlve pounds pressure; at 1,000 feet, 7C0pounds;nt one-half mile, 1,'JOO pounds; at ouo mile, 2, 100 pounds ; at two miles, 4,800 pouuds; at three miles, 7,'-H)0, The pressure at any number of miles of depth may be as certained by multiplying 3 100, tho pressure at one mile in depth, by the number of miles given. For example, 'J, 100 multiplied by six equals It, -tOO, which represents the pressure at a depth of six miles. When water is subjected to the pressure of 14,400 pouuds (six tons,) to the square inch, (corresponding to six miles ocean depth) a bulk of 1,000 cubic. Inches is only re ducedto957oubioiuches, specific, gravity 1.011, water at the surface beiug 1,000. Deep Sea Soundings. Not so many years ago it was considered a feat in deep sea sounding to reach a mile or mile and a half, and eveu then, after allow, ance bad been made for the action of currents upon the line, the aotual depth attslued was a good deal matter of calculation aud guess. Breakages also were continually occurring in the hauling up, from the necessary slenderness of the oord in comparison with the weight of the lead, The modern method by which the lead detaches itself at the bottom meets that as well as several other difficulties nearly as important, and the wonder is that it was not thought of sooner. Notr there is scarcely any limit to the depth of soundings, except the metals, burpaSBing all acids and other agent But there is no reason to believe that this will close the list of the usts of this remarkable elementary substance, which is found in suffi cient abundance in the waters of the sea and of many saline springs to make it comparatively cheap.
