above-mention'd Rule precisely in ſuch a poſture that the Refractions of the Rays at their emer- gence out of the Priſm could be adequate to that at their incidence on that. This Priſm had ſome Veins running on inside the Glaſs from one finish to the opposite, that that that of the Sun's light-weight on an irregular basis, however had no ſenſible ef-

Spectrum. For i attempted the celebrity Experiment

with alternative alternative with the celebrity Succeſs. And

particularly with a Priſm that that free

from fuch Veins, and whoſe refracting Angle

was sixty two Degrees, I found the length of the

Image ninety four or ten Inches at the diſtance of 184

Feet from the Priſm, the breadth of the outlet

in the Window-fhut being of an in., as be-

fore. And becauſe it's it's commit a mi-

ftake in inserting the Priſm in its due poſture, I

repeated the Experiment four or 5 times,

and continuously found the length of the. Image that that is ſet down on top of. With another Priſm of clearer Glaſs and higher higher, that that

ed free from Veins, and whoſe refracting Angle was 634 Degrees, the length of this Image at the celebrity the celebrity 18Feet was alſo regarding ten Inches, or 104. on the far side on the far side. Meaſures for a few four or of an in. at either finish of the Spe. etrum the sunshine of the Clouds ſeemed to be a touch colored with red and violet, however however terribly

theſe Meaſures. currently the various Magnitude of the outlet within the Window-fhut, and totally different

thickneſs of the Priſm wherever the Rays paſſed through it, and totally different inclinations of the

Priſm to the Horizon, created no ſenſible chan- ges within the length of the Image. Neither did the different matter of the Priſms create any :

for in an exceedingly in an exceedingly in an exceedingly Plates of Glaſs cemented along within the within the within the and stuffed with Water, there's variety variety

the Refraction. it's farther to be obſerved,

that the Rays went on in right Lines from the

Priſm to the Image, and so at their ve-

ry going out of the Priſm had all that Inclina-

tion to at least one another from that the length of

the Image proceeded, that's the Inclination of quite 2 degrees ANd an 0.5. And yet

according to the Laws of Opticks smuttily re-

ceived, they might they might they might a lot of incli- ned to at least one another. For Ler EG [in Fig. 13.) re-
