Excerpt from An Experimental Inquiry Into the Nature, and Propagation, of HeatPublication presented themselves in the spring of 1801. I was transported at the prospect of a new world emerging to view. Without delay I determined to investigate the subject with that close attention which it seemed to demand. I planned a course of expeli ments, and having procured the necessary apparatus. I retired to my native spot, where I could advantageously push the research in calm seclusion. The summer and autumn mostly spent in this delightful employ ment; and I prosecuted my inquiries with ardour, with unremitting diligence, and pro a 4 portionateas.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

"The clean and colorful format, cleverly boxed lists of supplies, and cartoon characters will encourage youngsters to try these activities on their own."--School Library JournalScience basics start right at home for children with this fun introduction to the kitchen laboratory. There, simple and safe activities will reveal the excitement of science in an enjoyable, unintimidating atmosphere. And bright drawings and photos add to the kid appeal. What children learn as they cook up some cool experiments will set the stage for science success all through school. All it takes are some common materials, such as applesauce, coffee filters, coarse pepper, and a candy or two. Colorful "cabbage soup" teaches them about chemical reactions, and they'll also learn by watching balloons inflate themselves with the help of a little yeast, making eggs "burp," and more. There are even activities to do in restaurants while waiting for the meal.

The partial interrupted slides, or the small spaces described by each of these upon the surface of contact, may, in every case, be the same; since any augmentation' of velocity that can obtain, may be counterbalanced by the corresponding increased resistance. ' This obstructing force is altogether independent of the quality or nature of the surface from which it originates. It is of the same kind as what takes place in the flow of water through extended tubes, or in the motion of elongated bodies through fluids. In practical hydraulics, it is well known that, without altering the column of pressure, the quantity of discharge is greatly diminished, by merely lengthening the conduit-pipe; and that a long cylinder is dragged through water with much more difliculty than a short one of equal diameter. _No_r is the eflect at all modified by the peculiar properties of those cylinders, whether they are solid or hollow. Neither the adhesidn of the fluid to its confining surface, nor the degree of smoothness or polish, seems to have any visible influence. An extended horizontal pipe, constructed of wood, will deliver as much water, as a similar one of lead: and though the experiment has not been tried, it cannot be doubted, that the motion of air through long narrow tubes would be found perfectly analogous to that of water. The flight of an arrow, shot through the atmosphere, is very sensibly impeded by the length of its shaft. The sort of retardation which fluids experience in gliding over the surface of a solid obstacle is, therefore, distinct from resistance on the one hand, and from friction on the other, though more allied to the former. But clearly to trace its origin and mode of operation, will require a care...

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
