Color \Col"or\, n. [Written also {colour}.] [OF. color, colur,       colour, F. couleur, L. color; prob. akin to celare to conceal       (the color taken as that which covers). See {Helmet}.]       1. A property depending on the relations of light to the eye,             by which individual and specific differences in the hues             and tints of objects are apprehended in vision; as, gay             colors; sad colors, etc.          Note: The sensation of color depends upon a peculiar function                of the retina or optic nerve, in consequence of which                rays of light produce different effects according to                the length of their waves or undulations, waves of a                certain length producing the sensation of red, shorter                waves green, and those still shorter blue, etc. White,                or ordinary, light consists of waves of various lengths                so blended as to produce no effect of color, and the                color of objects depends upon their power to absorb or                reflect a greater or less proportion of the rays which                fall upon them.          2. Any hue distinguished from white or black.          3. The hue or color characteristic of good health and             spirits; ruddy complexion.                         Give color to my pale cheek.               --Shak.          4. That which is used to give color; a paint; a pigment; as,             oil colors or water colors.          5. That which covers or hides the real character of anything;             semblance; excuse; disguise; appearance.                         They had let down the boat into the sea, under color                      as though they would have cast anchors out of the                      foreship.                                          --Acts xxvii.                                                                               30.                         That he should die is worthy policy; But yet we want                      a color for his death.                        --Shak.          6.

(Law) An apparent right; as where the defendant in             trespass gave to the plaintiff an appearance of title, by             stating his title specially, thus removing the cause from             the jury to the court. --Blackstone.          Note: Color is express when it is averred in the pleading,                and implied when it is implied in the pleading.          {Body color}. See under {Body}.          {Color blindness}, total or partial inability to distinguish             or recognize colors. See {Daltonism}.          {Complementary color}, one of two colors so related to each             other that when blended together they produce white light;             -- so called because each color makes up to the other what             it lacks to make it white. Artificial or pigment colors,             when mixed, produce effects differing from those of the             primary colors, in consequence of partial absorption.          {Of color} (as persons, races, etc.), not of the white race;             -- commonly meaning, esp. in the United States, of negro             blood, pure or mixed.          {Primary colors}, those developed from the solar beam by the             prism, viz., red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and             violet, which are reduced by some authors to three, --             red, green, and violet-blue. These three are sometimes             called {fundamental colors}.          {Subjective} [or] {Accidental color}, a false or spurious             color seen in some instances, owing to the persistence of             the luminous impression upon the retina, and a gradual             change of its character, as where a wheel perfectly white,             and with a circumference regularly subdivided, is made to             revolve rapidly over a dark object, the teeth of the wheel             appear to the eye of different shades of color varying             with the rapidity of rotation.

FN tunnelling          {Fowler-Nordheim tunnelling}
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fountain       (Heb. 'ain; i.e., "eye" of the water desert), a natural source       of living water. Palestine was a "land of brooks of water, of       fountains, and depths that spring out of valleys and hills"       (Deut. 8:7; 11:11).                These fountains, bright sparkling "eyes" of the desert, are       remarkable for their abundance and their beauty, especially on       the west of Jordan. All the perennial rivers and streams of the       country are supplied from fountains, and depend comparatively       little on surface water. "Palestine is a country of mountains       and hills, and it abounds in fountains of water. The murmur of       these waters is heard in every dell, and the luxuriant foliage       which surrounds them is seen in every plain." Besides its       rain-water, its cisterns and fountains, Jerusalem had also an       abundant supply of water in the magnificent reservoir called       "Solomon's Pools" (q.v.), at the head of the Urtas valley,       whence it was conveyed to the city by subterrean channels some       10 miles in length. These have all been long ago destroyed, so       that no water from the "Pools" now reaches Jerusalem. Only one       fountain has been discovered at Jerusalem, the so-called       "Virgins's Fountains," in the valley of Kidron; and only one       well (Heb. beer), the Bir Eyub, also in the valley of Kidron,       south of the King's Gardens, which has been dug through the       solid rock. The inhabitants of Jerusalem are now mainly       dependent on the winter rains, which they store in cisterns.       (See {WELL}.)
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Fountain of the Virgin       the perennial source from which the Pool of Siloam (q.v.) is       supplied, the waters flowing in a copious stream to it through a       tunnel cut through the rock, the actual length of which is 1,750       feet. The spring rises in a cave 20 feet by 7. A serpentine       tunnel 67 feet long runs from it toward the left, off which the       tunnel to the Pool of Siloam branches. It is the only unfailing       fountain in Jerusalem.                The fountain received its name from the "fantastic legend"       that here the virgin washed the swaddling-clothes of our Lord.                This spring has the singular characteristic of being       intermittent, flowing from three to five times daily in winter,       twice daily in summer, and only once daily in autumn. This       peculiarity is accounted for by the supposition that the outlet       from the reservoir is by a passage in the form of a siphon.
