THE SUN’S HEAT AND LIGHT.
[to the editor.] gj R) The correspondence which ap- ‘ peared in your columns a few. weeks ago relative to the above was highly j nteresting to all who are lovers of things other, than those metalliferous For coy parti am inclined to the opinion i of “ Amateur,*’ after long observation ' and study, that the sun’s heat and light ! are not what our human minds feel and t call fire. Now the reference in the f “ Book of Truth” to brightness and light, \ which appears there is distinct from fire, i : »ud is conveyed to us as belonging to
things ethereal. The human mind again comprehends that brightness, or "the brightest light, or whatever else it may be, is not scientifically fire, although it gives warmth and light. Then what is the sun, and what fire ? I, for one, am .sorry these scientific subjects 1 are not more popular in the colony, i Unfortunately, p- rhaps, when these supreme mysteries aro solved, the information is not reconveyed to earth. I am, &c., Fiat Lux.
