Sivu 9 - That gravity should be innate, inherent, and essential to matter, so that one body may act upon another at a distance through a vacuum, without the mediation of anything else, by and through which their action and force may be conveyed from one to another, is to me so great an. absurdity, that I believe no man who has in philosophical! matters a competent faculty of thinking, can ever fall into it.
Sivu 93 - Arago's determination, that the sun's direct light is not polarized, renders it probable that the envelope is flame. I have lately made some photographic experiments, which may tend further to the establishment of this opinion. It has been long known that the light proceeding from the centre of the sun is more intense than that from the edge. I have taken several pictures of the sun in a camera obscura, by means of a photographic process, exposing the prepared surface of the plate to be acted on...
Sivu 80 - Note. — I proved in a paper published in the Philosophical Magazine for October 1851, that " the decomposition of a compound body absorbs as much heat as the combination of the elements originally produced." I believe I was the first to prove this as a general proposition, and, by so doing, laid the foundation of almost all the thermochemical researches since carried on ; for, as far as I am aware, no process which took decomposition into account was used before my paper was published.
Sivu 79 - ... grains of water 1° Fahr., and the quantity of the metal oxidized is an equivalent of each, oxygen = 1 . To find whether the law extends to change of state when no chemical combination takes place, the amount of heat given out by the condensation of an equivalent of steam, and by the solidification of an equivalent of water, is given. The following is the table giving the thermal equivalents of the several substances, the names of the experimenters, and the ratio of proportion. It is to be remarked,...
Sivu 79 - ... for instance, in sulphuric acid, liquor of potass, and nitric acid. When the two former are used, water is decomposed to oxidize the dissolved body ; in the last case, the nitric acid is resolved into oxygen and binoxide of nitrogen, the former of which unites with the substance to be oxidized, the latter escaping. Other combinations and decompositions at the same time take place (as detailed in the paper), and being taken into account (decompositions absorbing as much heat as is produced by...
Sivu 72 - Christ applied to the soul, makes also that alive and capable of acting. " In every word we speak, we praise Him, — in everything we do, we must acknowledge Him ; we trace in all creation the same hand, in all its arrangements the same mind, and therefore in everything we think or act, to Him be all the Glory.
Sivu 56 - Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God which worketh in you to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Sivu 94 - And this deep spot was surrounded by a ring of light not so darkly marked. The " burnt" centre increased in size, not- in depth of intensity, with increased length of exposure ; the ring about it also increased, but not in proportion to the enlargement of the centre. A piece of red glass placed before the aperture of the camera renders the sun's action less powerful, and allows the pictures to be taken less rapidly. These experiments are a further proof that the light from the centre of the sun acts...
Sivu 73 - that the decomposition of a compound body gives rise to as much cold as the combination of its elements produces heat." I said (12) that "it might be made the means of determining the amount of heat produced by the combination of bodies, as the loss occasioned by their decomposition shows the gain by their combination.
Sivu 96 - It now remained to try what effect a solid body giving out light — not reflecting it — would produce. It was not easy to find a means of heating a solid body sufficiently high to get a light capable of acting on a sensitive plate. I tried iron heated to whiteness, and platina in the flame of a gas-jet, but neither affected the plate in a camera. The lime-light, however, acted well. A piece of lime acted on by the oxy-hydrogen blowpipe was rendered luminous, and a picture of it thrown on the prepared...
