Seite 72 - It is better, on this account, in graduating the bottle, to make two scratches as represented in the drawing, one at the top and the other at the bottom of the curve : this prevents any future mistake.
Seite 176 - Whatever change of weather suddenly follows a change in the barometer, may be expected to last but a short time. Thus, if fair weather follow immediately the rise of the mercury, there will be very little of it; and, in the same way, if foul weather follow the fall of the mercury, it will last but a short time.
Seite 302 - An alloy composed of 8 parts of bismuth, 5 of lead, and 3 of tin, liquefies at a temperature below that of boiling water; and an alloy composed of 496 bismuth, 310 lead, 177 tin, and 26 mercury, fuses at 162°-5.
Seite 176 - ... 4. If fair weather continue for several days, during which the mercury continually falls, a long succession of foul weather will probably ensue ; and again, if foul weather continue for several days, while the mercury continually rises, a long succession of fair weather will probably succeed. 5.
