Popular passages
Page 160 - Imagine a rain drop or a globe of glass as large as a pea, to be magnified up to the size of the earth, each constituent molecule being magnified in the same proportion. The magnified structure would be coarser grained than a heap of small shot, but probably less coarse grained than a heap of cricket balls.
Page 19 - This result gives the weight of a bulk of water equal to that of the specimen, and by dividing the weight of the specimen in air by this number, the specific gravity is obtained.
Page 159 - New York Journal of Commerce. " The aim of the work is to furnish a hand-book of a symmetrical science, resting fundamentally upon the law of Avogadro that 'equal volumes of all substances, when in the state of gas and under like conditions, contain the same number of molecules.
Page 22 - Gravity of a substance is the ratio of its weight to that of an equal volume of water.
