Light \Light\ (l[imac]t), n. [OE. light, liht, AS. le[a2]ht;       akin to OS. lioht, D. & G. licht, OHG. lioht, Goth.       liuha[thorn], Icel. lj[omac]s, L. lux light, lucere to shine,       Gr. leyko`s white, Skr. ruc to shine. [root]122. Cf. {Lucid},       {Lunar}, {Luminous}, {Lynx}.]       1. That agent, force, or action in nature by the operation of             which upon the organs of sight, objects are rendered             visible or luminous.          Note: Light was regarded formerly as consisting of material                particles, or corpuscules, sent off in all directions                from luminous bodies, and traversing space, in right                lines, with the known velocity of about 186,300 miles                per second; but it is now generally understood to                consist, not in any actual transmission of particles or                substance, but in the propagation of vibrations or                undulations in a subtile, elastic medium, or ether,                assumed to pervade all space, and to be thus set in                vibratory motion by the action of luminous bodies, as                the atmosphere is by sonorous bodies. This view of the                nature of light is known as the undulatory or wave                theory; the other, advocated by Newton (but long since                abandoned), as the corpuscular, emission, or Newtonian                theory. A more recent theory makes light to consist in                electrical oscillations, and is known as the                electro-magnetic theory of light.          2. That which furnishes, or is a source of, light, as the             sun, a star, a candle, a lighthouse, etc.                         Then he called for a light, and sprang in. --Acts                                                                               xvi. 29.                         And God made two great lights; the greater light to                      rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the                      night.                                                --Gen. i. 16.          3. The time during which the light of the sun is visible;             day; especially, the dawn of day.                         The murderer, rising with the light, killeth the                      poor and needy.                                 --Job xxiv.                                                                               14.          4. The brightness of the eye or eyes.                         He seemed to find his way without his eyes; For out                      o' door he went without their helps, And, to the                      last, bended their light on me.         --Shak.          5. The medium through which light is admitted, as a window,             or window pane; a skylight; in architecture, one of the             compartments of a window made by a mullion or mullions.                         There were windows in three rows, and light was                      against light in three ranks.            --I Kings                                                                               vii.4.          6. Life; existence.                         O, spring to light, auspicious Babe, be born!                                                                               --Pope.          7. Open view; a visible state or condition; public             observation; publicity.                         The duke yet would have dark deeds darkly answered;                      he would never bring them to light.   --Shak.          8. The power of perception by vision.                         My strength faileth me; as for the light of my eyes,                      it also is gone from me.                     --Ps. xxxviii.                                                                               10.          9.

Prosperity; happiness; joy; felicity.                         Then shall thy light break forth as the morning,                      and thy health shall spring forth speedily. --Is.                                                                               lviii. 8.          11.

The rate of funding has declined as locally generated    government revenues have grown. An agreement for the years 1986 to    1992 entitled the islands to $228 million for capital development,    government operations, and special programs. A rapidly growing major    source of income is the tourist industry, which now employs about 50%    of the work force. Japanese tourists predominate. The agricultural    sector is of minor importance and is made up of cattle ranches and    small farms producing coconuts, breadfruit, tomatoes, and melons.    Industry is small scale, mostly handicrafts, light manufacturing, and    garment production.       National product: GDP - purchasing power parity - $524 million (1994    est.)    note: GDP numbers reflect US spending       National product real growth rate: NA%       National product per capita: $10,500 (1994 est.)       Inflation rate (consumer prices): 6.5% (1994 est.)       Unemployment rate: NA%       Budget:    revenues: $190.4 million    expenditures: $190.4 million, including capital expenditures of $19.1    million (FY94/95)       Exports: $263.4 million (f.o.b. 1991 est.)    commodities: garments    partners: NA       Imports: $392.4 million (c.i.f. 1991 est.)    commodities: food, construction equipment and materials, petroleum    products    partners: US, Japan       External debt: $NA       Industrial production: growth rate NA%       Electricity:    capacity: 105,000 kW    production: NA kWh    consumption per capita: NA kWh       Industries: tourism, construction, light industry, handicrafts       Agriculture: coconuts, fruits, cattle, vegetables; food is a major    import       Economic aid: none       Currency: 1 United States dollar (US$) = 100 cents       Exchange rates: US currency is used       Fiscal year: 1 October - 30 September       Northern Mariana Islands:Transportation       Railroads: 0 km       Highways:    total: 381.5 km    paved: NA    unpaved: NA    undifferentiated: primary 134.5 km; secondary 55 km; local 192 km    (1991)       Inland waterways: none       Ports: Saipan, Tinian       Merchant marine: none       Airports:    total: 8    with paved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1    with paved runways 1,524 to 2,437 m: 3    with paved runways under 914 m: 3    with unpaved runways 2,438 to 3,047 m: 1       Northern Mariana Islands:Communications       Telephone system: NA telephones    local: NA    intercity: NA    international: 2 INTELSAT (Pacific Ocean) earth stations       Radio:    broadcast stations: AM 2, FM 1, shortwave 0 (1984)    radios: NA       Television:    broadcast stations: 1; note - there are 2 cable TV stations    televisions: NA       Northern Mariana Islands:Defense Forces       Note: defense is the responsibility of the US
