Seite 263 - An Act to promote the progress of the useful arts, and to repeal all acts and parts of acts heretofore made for that purpose.
Seite 23 - Let us now consider, for a little while, how wonderfully we stand upon this world.

Seite 353 - ... effect. The best way of preparing a solution of minimum strength is as follows : — A concentrated neutral solution of tungstate of soda is diluted with water to 28° Twaddle, and then mixed with three per cent, of phosphate of soda. This solution was found to keep and to answer well ; it has been introduced into Her Majesty's laundry, where it is constuntly being used.
Seite 193 - ... which was retained in the vessel and assisted in purifying the metal. The increase of temperature which the metal underwent, and which seemed so disproportionate to the quantity of carbon and iron consumed, was doubtless owing to the favourable circumstances under which combustion took place.
Seite 270 - By proper mechanical arrangemi-ills this cylinder could be revolved, and the part which was at one instant within, rapidly brought to the outside, and observed by the audience. As the cylinder could be made to revolve 300 times in a second, and as the twentieth part of a revolution was enough to bring a sufficient portion of the cylinder to the outside, it is evident that a phosphorescent effect which would last only the l-3000th or even the l-6000th of a second might be made apparent.
