Side 60 - I thank you for the honour you have conferred upon me, by "electing me President of this State. The post, itself, I do not ' ' think so great an honour, as the manner in which you have be'
Side 111 - ... invented by Mr. G. F. Ansell, and described by Dr. Jabez Hogg at the meeting of the British Medical Association in 1880. The construction of this instrument, of which I give -a drawing (Fig. 38), is founded upon the law of the diffusion of gases, the velocity of which is inversely proportional to the square roots of their densities. Thus four volumes of hydrogen will pass through a porous diaphragm in the same time as one volume of oxygen, which is sixteen times heavier. The passage of the lighter...
Side 36 - Wishing you a very pleasant and successful meeting at Cincinnati, I am, yours truly, LH MORGAN. President BRUSH followed this communication with a few appropriate remarks, and in closing said : Accept my grateful thanks for the honor you have conferred upon me in electing me to preside over your deliberations. It will be my earnest endeavor, with your cooperation, to maintain the high scientific character which this Association has so long enjoyed. Let us work cordially together to make this second...
Side 277 - CHAMBERS moved a hearty vote of thanks to the President for his conduct in the chair during the past year.
Side 81 - I thank you sincerely for the honor that you have conferred upon me in electing me to the presidency of this society.
Side 27 - The oxygen, either pure or in air, effects an oxidation of the sulphur compounds of the lime, and sulphur is deposited as such in considerable quantities in the foul lime. The amount of oxygen admitted must not be sufficient to prevent the stability of a certain amount of sulphide J lime in the last vessels, or no material will be present for the absorption of carbon disulphide.
Side 369 - METEOROLOGY." [This Lecture will be printed in the next number of the Quarterly Journal."] Dr. WN SHAW said that it was his privilege to propose a vote of thanks to Dr. Hellmann for his extremely able and interesting lecture. He felt more or less at home in proposing this vote of thanks, because Dr. Hellmann, as a Director of the Prussian Meteorological Institute, was a colleague of his as Director of a Meteorological Office. He was not betraying any great secret...
Side 260 - In both cases you will notice that the products are a white powder, every particle of which at the moment of its formation is intensely heated. It follows from this that every circumstance which increases the number of solid particles, within a reasonable limit, or which prolongs the time of their ignition, or which exalts the temperature of it, increases the light of the flame, and conversely everything which destroys the particles or lowers their temperature will also destroy the light.
Side 28 - That a small percentage of air admitted before the lime purifiers has not a deteriorating effect on the illuminating power of gas is conceivable, and is indeed proved by experience ; but that the corresponding amount of oxygen would give a better result is granted by nearly all. Whether the slightly improved result is worth the cost of the pure oxygen, is extremely doubtful.
Side 225 - THOMSON, in thanking the members for the way in which they had received his paper...
