Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonder Book of Light Light, though one of the most difficult of all the natural forces to explain thoroughly, contains Within it so many wonders that it can be made attractive to young and old alike. The author has not hesitated, in either this or the other Wonder Books, to employ freely a few of the old, old fairy stories for illustrating some especially difficult point. It is his experience in the teaching of the natural sciences to the young, that the more unusual or out-of-the-way the illustrations employed, the greater the chance of their producing a marked effect on the mind.
