Stran 95 - A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval. INTRODUCTION The specific gravity is the weight of any given volume of a substance divided by the weight of an equal volume of water. As both the weight and volume of wood vary with the amount of moisture contained in the wood, specific gravity as applied to wood is an indefinite quantity unless the conditions under which it is determined are clearly specified. The specific gravity of wood is generally...

Stran 186 - On charcoal reducing flame, especially with soda, iron minerals become magnetic. (Also cobalt and nickel). 2. In oxidizing flame the borax bead is amber colored; in reducing flame, bottle green. 3. Ammonia precipitates brownish-red iron hydroxide. A few drops of nitric acid should always be added to the solution to insure oxidation of the iron. 4. To detect state of iron, a borax bead made blue with malachite is changed to opaque red by a ferrous compound, and to green by a ferric compound. (Use...
Stran 3 - If we prove that a2 = ft2 + c* — 2bc cos A , then, however A may change, the law itself will never vary. In it the pupil comes into touch with the unchangeable, with the absolute. It is the same with all other laws of geometry. In any convex polyhedron, whatever its shape, the law remains that the number of faces plus the number of vertices is equal to the number of edges increased by two. "Change and decay in all around I see...

Stran 474 - He sought to explain all intermediate rocks by the intermingling of these two. Although apparently applicable at times and serviceable in their day, the conceptions have long since exploded. (Kemp) Normal salt. A salt in which all the hydrogen of the acid has been replaced by metals. (AF Rogers) Normal shift. The horizontal component of the shift at right angles to the fault strike.
Stran 154 - A compound in which only part of the hydrogen of the acid has been replaced by a metal is called an acid salt.
