Стр. 100 - ... aqueous vapour, which determines the oxidation of iron in common air. Although this statement may be objected to at first sight, on the ground of the small amount of...
Стр. 40 - ... or imponderable elements), may ere long enable us to penetrate this mystery, and to declare whether it is really matter, in the ordinary acceptation of the term, which is projected from their heads with such extravagant velocity, and, if not impelled, at least directed in its course by a reference to the sun as its point of avoidance.
Стр. 99 - Therefore the question may be asked, is the oxidation of iron due to the direct action of the oxygen of the atmosphere, or to the decomposition of its aqueous vapour; or does the very small quantity of carbonic acid which it contains determine or intensify the oxidation of metallic iron?
Стр. 32 - ... hunger, then went they out against the men who were encamped on the east bank of the river, and fought against them : and the Christians had the victory. And...
Стр. 19 - ... moulded like plaster ; it may be used to reface the dilapidated stones of a building, and adheres with so much tenacity to wood that its application as a preserver of timbers, railway sleepers, etc., by painting it upon the surface, has been tried with success. DECAY OF STONE. DR. R. ANGUS SMITH has observed that the particles of stone most liable to be in long contact with rain from town atmospheres, in England at least, were most subject to decay. Believing the acid in the rain to be the cause,...
Стр. 111 - FRS , as to the short period cyclical changes in the magnetic condition of the earth, and in the distribution of temperature on its surface," by Joseph Baxendell, who read it recently before the Liverpool Astronomical Society.
Стр. 94 - The general conclusion is this : Frost does not make either iron (cast or wrought) or steel brittle, and that accidents arise from the neglect of the companies to submit wheels, axles, and all other parts of their rolling stock to a practical and sufficient test before using them.
Стр. 40 - ... in little more than two hours. It seems utterly incredible that in such a case it is one and the same material object which is thus brandished. If there could be conceived such a thing as a negative shadow, a momentary impression made upon the luminiferous aether behind the comet, this would represent in some degree the conception such a phenomenon irresistibly calls up.
Стр. 31 - Parret, and as well west as east of Selwood, and also north of the Thames, and west of the Severn, and also some part of the North- Welsh people.
Стр. 100 - No oxidation. The above results prove that under the conditions described, pure and dry oxygen does not determine the oxidation of iron, that moist oxygen has only feeble action; dry or moist pure carbonic acid has no action, but that moist oxygen containing traces of carbonic acid acts most rapidly on iron, giving rise to protoxide of iron, then to carbonate of the same oxide, and last to a mixture of saline oxide and hydrate of the sesquioxide of iron.
