> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l8" n="N006"/>penetrate many substances usually regarded as opaque. I write to
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l9" n="N007"/>you for this reason. I am interested in certain arts, in which
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l10" n="N008"/>such a light would be of use; an if the matter is in such a po-
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l11" n="N009"/>sition as to be readily utilized, I should be glad of such par-
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l12" n="N010"/>ticulars as you may feel disposed to communicate.
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l13" n="N011"/>What I should like to know is, whether the light is port-

> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l15" n="N013"/>conditions are needful to its successful operation?
> <lb facs="#facs_1_r1l16" n="N014"/>It is hardly necessary to say that I do not seek for the
