of the violet end of the spectrum. C, Franklin 

 Theory of, supposes that the eye, in the early periods 

 of development, possesses only the white, black, or 

 gray visual substance and is therefore sensitive to 

 luminosity only and not to color. Later this substance 

 becomes modified into the blue and yellow substance, 

 and then into the red and green. [Raymond.] C- 

 gustation. See Pseudogeusesthesia. C. -screen, a 

 solid or liquid body which serves to cut out or reduce 

 the light-waves at one or both ends of the spectrum. 

 The screen is placed between the object and the objec- 

 tive so that all rays finally reaching the objective must 

 pass through the screen. Color-screens are much used 

 in photography in all its branches. The most generally 

 used screen is a solution of dichromate of potash, which 

 cuts off the violet, the blue, and the bluish-green rays.
