A discovery has been attracting the attention of scientific men . A beam of sunlight is made to pass through a prism so as to produce the solar spectrum or rainbow . A disc , having slits or openings in it , is made to revolve , and the coloured light of the rainbow is made to break through it , and fall on silk , wool , or other material contained in a

glass vessel . As the coloured light falls upon it sounds will be given by the different parts of the spectrum , and there will be silence in other parts . If the vessel contains red worsted , and the green light flashes upon it , loud sounds will be given . Only feeble sounds will be heard when the red and blue parts of the rainbow fall upon the vessel .
