[123] Attention has been directed to the protecting action of certain rays of the spectrum by Sir John Herschel and others. See the Eighteenth Report of the British Association for an experiment by the Author, in which it was proved that all the LIGHT rays protected photographic papers from chemical change, and, therefore, convincingly show that light and actinism were not similar powers.
[124] “Having noticed, one densely foggy day, that the disc of the sun was of a deep red colour, I directed my apparatus towards it. After ten seconds of exposure, I put the prepared plate in the mercury box, and I obtained a round image perfectly black;--the sun had produced no photogenic effect. In another experiment, I left the plate operating for twenty minutes; the sun had passed over a certain space of the plate, and there resulted an image seven or eight times the sun’s diameter in length; it was black throughout, so that it was evident, wherever the red disc of the sun had passed, not only was there a want of photogenic action, but the red rays had destroyed the effect produced previous to the sun’s passage. I repeated these experiments during several days successively, operating with a sun of different tints of red and yellow. These different tints produced nearly the same effect; wherever the sun had passed, there existed a black band.”--Mr. Claudet, _On different properties of Solar Radiation, modified by coloured glass media, &c._: Phil.
