D. of uranium, which shows, too, absorption-bands in the green blue, is affected more where these occur than in any other portion of the spectrum. It would be going beyond our province to do more than enumerate the other metallic com pounds which are amenable to chemical change by the impact of radiation ; suffice it to say that some salts of mercury, gold, copper, lead, manganese, molybdenum, platinum, vanadium, are all affected, but in a less degree than those which Ave have discussed. In the organic world there are very few substances which do not change by the continuous action of light, and it will be found that as a rule they are affected by the blue end of the spectrum rather than by the red end. For a more detailed account we must refer the reader to The Chemical Effects of the Spectrum by Dr J. M. Eder (London). The following table gives the names of the observers of the action of light on different substances with the date of publication of the several observations. It is nearly identical with one given by Dr Eder in his Gcschichte der Photo-Chcmie. Substance. Observer. Date. Silver.
