The name of the great philosopher of modern times was called Eurekia. The principle of Diogenes was that he could move the world if he could find a place big enough to stand in. Franklin proved that electricity and lightning are rods. Temperature is measured by a machine called a hydrometer. Sun melts ice by the law of cohesion of atoms. Drops of water are generally spherical for various reasons known only to the gracious Providence who has formed them. Affinity is a liking evinced between two objects, contact not being necessary. One person may have an affinity or liking for another. Capillary attraction is the attraction between hair. A person’s hair is affected by fright. The hair of some animals is attracted by lightning. A body will go just as far in the first second as the body will go plus the force the gravity and that’s equal to twice what the body will go. Specific gravity is the weight to be compared weight of an equal volume of or that that is the weight of the body compared with the weight of and equal volume. Inertia is that proberty of bodies by virtue of which it cannot change its own condition of rest or motion. In other words it is the negative quality of passiveness either in recoverable latency or insipient latescence. The law of fluid pressure divide the different forms of organized bodies by the form of attraction and the number increased will be the form. By convection the body is heated instantaneous, as gunpowder. The reason a body falls when not supported is that there is not enough air under it to keep it up and so it has to fall or the specific gravity is not great enough to hold it up. The difference between latent and sensible heat is that it feels sensible. If you listen closely you can vibrate a pitchfork. If an experiment be successful the result will be inevitable. Thermal unit is the heat required to raise a pound of water through one foot. If we were on a railroad track and a train Tides are caused by the reflection of the sun and moon upon the water. Sir Isaac Newton founded the “Laws of Gravity.” A simple pendulum is an imaginary point hung on a thread. The vibrations of a pendulum is determined by the time they take. A noise is a collection of sounds which means nothing but a clatter. Sound is that form or motion of the mind which effects the oratory nerves. A sound is not like a noise because it has essential things to depend upon and a noise has not. To get gold from its ore it is polished and heated. Metals are changed in their elements by fussing them together. |
