IN answer to Mr. T. W. Backhouse, I would suggest that he should use the spectroscope in the following manner. Hold it between the luminous object (moon or street lamp) and the eye at a distance of about 12 or 15 inches from the latter, so that only part of the spectrum is seen. Then remove the spectroscope sideways, and pass it quickly through its old position. A flash of coloured light will be seen, and no matter what may be the direction of the spectrum with reference to the line of motion the flash will always be seen to travel from the red end towards the blue end. Each part of the spectrum can be examined separately.
