THE WONDERFUL EFFECTS OF HEAT. The effects of heal are manifold. In the first place, an increase of temperature expands or enlarges almost all bodies, while a decrease causes them to contract or become diminished in bulk. Secondly. Heat changes the form of bodies, converting solids into liquids, and liquids into vapours; while cold, on the other hand, condenses vapours into liquids, and causes liquids again to solidify or congeal. Thirdly. Heat causes ignition; that is to say, it changes dark opaque substances to a bright transparent red, rendering them capable of giving out light, when their temperatures are raised to a high degree, and, when increased to the highest point, causing them to become even white in the fire, and then endowing them with the properties of the solar beams, so that their rays have the same power of traversing plates of glass, and of producing chemical changes, even as the rays of the sun itself. Fourthly. Combustion, or the burning of bodies, with the evolution of flame, is another effect of heat. There is also a species of combustion called slow (erema-causis is the chemical term for it), which is unaccompanied with flame--as in the rotting of wood and other organic tissues, the rusting of metals, and even the breathing of animals and ourselves. In each of these processes there is the same combination of a combustible body with the oxygen of the atmosphere--but at a much slower rate--than in the more rapid and energetic forms of combustion; and hence but slight increase of temperature (if any) is discernible, while no flames or luminous gases that are perceptible to our senses are evolved under such conditions. Fifthly. Phosphorescence is likewise produced by heat. During combustion and ignition, ..

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wonders of Science, or Young Humphry Davy: The Cornish Apothecary's Boy, Who Taught Himself Natural Philosophy, and Eventually Became President of the Royal Society; The Life of a Wonderful Boy, Written for Boys MY dear sir, - You asked me to give you an account of my first introduction to Sir H. Davy, which I am very happy to do, as I think the circumstance will bear testimony to his goodness of heart. When I was a bookseller's apprentice, I was very fond of experiment, and very averse to trade. It happened that a gentleman, a member of the Royal Institution, took me to hear some of Sir H. Davy's last lectures in Albemarle Street. I took notes, and afterwards wrote them out more fairly in a quarto volume. My desire to escape from trade, which I thought vicious and selfish, and to enter into the service of Science, which I imagined made its pursuers amiable and liberal, induced me at last to take the bold and 'simple step of writing to Sir H. Davy, expressing my wishes, and a hope that, if an Opportunity came in his way, he would favour my views; at the same time, I sent the notes I had taken at his lectures.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Humphry Davy's contemporaries bestowed on him their highest honors. Since Davy's death in 1829, each scholarly generation has accrued info. about him & his colleagues. His startling discoveries of the scientifically novel, his isolation & identification of 7 new elements, & his association of electrical properties & chemical behavior coupled with his fame as a lecturer, made him a popular cultural hero. Others saw him as the man who had made agriculture "scientific." Davy's refusal to profit financially from his invention of the miners' safety lamp endeared him to those humanitarians who idealized scientists as members of an altruistic brotherhood. Here is a readable, thoroughly researched biography of Davy's early life. Illus.
