Page 63 - Contact is made with the mercury by means of a platinum wire about No. 22 gauge. This is protected from contact with the other materials of the cell by being sealed into a glass tube. The ends of the wire project from the ends of the tube ; one end forms the terminal, the other end and a portion of the glass tube dip into the mercury.
Page 62 - ... carefully removing any loose pieces of the zinc. Just before making up the cell dip the zinc into dilute sulphuric acid, wash with distilled water, and dry with a clean cloth or filter paper.
Page 63 - Then insert the cork and zinc rod, passing the glass tube through the hole prepared for it. Push the cork gently down until its lower surface is nearly in contact with the liquid. The air will thus be nearly all expelled, and the cell should be left in this condition for at least 24 hours before sealing, which should be done as follows : — Melt some marine glue until it is fluid enough to pour by its own weight, and pour it into the test tube above the cork, using sufficient to cover completely...

Page xxvi - This portion, rendered porous .by cooling, was permeated by circulating waters, which dissolved and brought to the surface during successive ages, after the manner of modern mineral springs, the elements of the various systems of crystalline rocks. These rocks thus mark progressive and necessary changes in the mineralogical evolution of the earth.
Page 62 - Mix the washed mercurous sulphate with the zinc sulphate solution, adding sufficient crystals of zinc sulphate from the stock bottle to ensure saturation, and a small quantity of pure mercury. Shake these up well together to form a paste of the consistence of cream. Heat the paste, but not above a temperature of 30° C.
Page xxxviii - Challenger" Crinoids. But I have always found that the few days which I have devoted to fossils during my holidays have sent me back to schoolwork and to recent Crinoids •with renewed vigour, and often with fresh ideas. I have the strongest conviction (and many mistakes would be avoided were it a universal one) that the only way to understand fossils properly is to gain a thorough knowledge of the morphology of their living representatives. These, on the other hand, seem to me incompletely known...
Page 63 - 5 centimetre thick to fit the tube ; at one side of the cork bore a hole through which the zinc rod can pass tightly ; at the other side bore another hole for the glass tube which covers the platinum wire ; at the edge of the cork cut a nick through which the air can pass when the cork is pushed into the tube.
Page 391 - ... employe's, however much practice they have had, are utterly incapable of recognizing and distinguishing the regulation colors of lanterns, especially when they are employed in the shades which are not most commonly in use in the service. This applies not only to the completely red and green blind, but also to the incompletely blind. These* last require the most circumstantial investigation, and it is not to be assumed that the lower degrees can stand the trial. They may often, it is true, distinguish...
Page 398 - This is a test-case of a perfectly representative kind for the theory of temperature, and it effectually disposes of the assumption that the temperature of a solid or liquid is equal to its average kinetic energy per atom, which Maxwell pointed out as a consequence of the supposed theorem, and which, believed to be thus established, has been largely taught, and fallaciously used, as a fundamental proposition in thermodynamics. It is in truth only for an approximately
