About the Book

Purchase of this book includes free trial access to www.million-books.com where you can read more than a million books for free. This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: stay flat, because the lead has no elasticity. If an india-rubber ball be dropped on the pavement, it will be flattened very much more than the lead ball; but the elasticity of the substance is so great that the particles all resume their old positions with such force as to bounce the ball upward to a considerable height, and- when the ball is examined, no sign of the flattening is seen. Some substances may be squeezed or compressed into very much smaller bulk; such substances are said to be compressible. If, upon being released, they return to their former bulk, they are of course elastic. All substances are to some extent compressible. Under great pressure, the ether is crowded out from between the atoms, and the substance becomes more solid or dense. The real matter in substances is so little, compared with the ether between the atoms, that it has been stated that the whole earth, if the atoms, were pressed into actual contact, and made perfectly dense, would not fill a square foot of space. Such a statement seems hard to believe, but will serve to bring our minds to a sense of the porousness of all matter. A cubic inch of lead can be compressed into one-tenth of that bulk, and it will remain so, and be more dense or solid. A room-full of air can be compressed into a thimble, but will immediately expand to its full volume when released, owing to its great elasticity. We know very little of the real cause of natural forces. We know that some great force tends to draw the atoms of some matter closely together, and we call that force cohesion. We know that some great force tends to force the atoms of some matter apart, and we call that force repulsion. While we know little of the cause of these forces, we may, by close observation, become familiar with their general laws ...
