1 I | not always left to our own power, and we must submit to circumstances 2 I | thinking that next week our power shall be greater, why then, 3 I | which I mean by the word power or force? Suppose I take 4 I | therefore brought into use a power of doing so - the power 5 I | power of doing so - the power of my hand carried on through 6 I | side, I bring into play a power, but a very different exertion 7 I | very different exertion of power from the former; or, if 8 I | shell-lac, therefore, has a power wherewith it acts upon the 9 I | exercise of another kind of power, I might use gunpowder with 10 I | when I am speaking of a power or force, I am speaking 11 I | present with the name of that power, but it is clear there was 12 I | those things which we call power, or force; and you will 13 I | illustration of another kind of power in that lamp; there is a 14 I | in that lamp; there is a power of heat - a power of doing 15 I | there is a power of heat - a power of doing something, but 16 I | something, but not the same power as that which pulled the 17 I | thoughts to one kind of power. You see what I mean by 18 I | reference to the amounts of power which it contains; but it 19 I | body of water down. That power is what we call gravity, 20 I | it, you will find another power and property in the water. 4 21 I | entirely distinct from its power of falling to the earth. 22 I(4)| Power or property in water. This 23 I(4)| property in water. This power - the heat by which the 24 I | illustrate another kind of power. [The lecturer here poured 25 I | in consequence of this power of heat brought into play 26 I | these various matters - the power of heat evolved by acting 27 I | lime with water, and the power which water has of turning 28 I | simple exertion of this power of matter called weight 29 I | it the exercise of that power of pressing downward is 30 I | of the iron, and of the power which the air possesses 31 I | yourselves what a wonderful power there must be to pull this 32 I | another illustration of this power. You know what a pendulum 33 I | by-and-by how this is. Now that power which caused the water to 34 I | fro of the pendulum, that power is entirely due to the attraction 35 I | the earth has any special power which these balls themselves 36 I | have not; for just as much power as the earth has to attract 37 I | ivory balls], just so much power have they in proportion 38 I | has its own gravitating power, as you perceive when I 39 I | which all their gravitating power is centred, and that point 40 I | whole of the attracting power of the earth is, as it were, 41 II | each other, and that this power we called gravitation. I 42 II | might suppose that the whole power of this attraction was exerted 43 II | and all by means of this power of gravitation to the centre 44 II | and, first, as regards its power with respect to the distance 45 II | each other with a certain power. If I hold it at a greater 46 II | they attract with less power; and if I hold it at a greater 47 II | I have here a centre of power which I will not name at 48 II | between two flat surfaces. The power which I thus have of building 49 II | one inch square has such power of attraction in its particles - 50 II | which is of such size and power as to be almost more than 51 II | are the result of this power of cohesion and attraction.~ 52 II | glass differing only in its power of cohesion, because while 53 II | merely held together by this power of cohesion, but that they 54 II | going to make use of this power which matter possesses of 55 II | you have this mechanical power of straining, or whether 56 III | sufficient to resist the power we bring to bear upon it. [ 57 III | such a large extent the power of attraction that the solid 58 III | added to the ice has the power of causing it to melt, and 59 III | all because salt has the power of lessening the attraction 60 III | but it certainly has the power of continuing in a better 61 III | to this bubble the very power of an India-rubber ball; 62 III | bubble, that it has the power of contracting so powerfully 63 III | show you to illustrate this power of cohesion of the particles 64 III | illustration of the effect of a power of nature which we have 65 III | certain amount of this new power at our disposal. Here you 66 III | to submit itself to this power; for the moment I put them 67 IV | chlorine unite by their power of chemical affinity, and 68 IV | one great exertion of this power which is known as chemical 69 IV | the evolution of another power of matter - of a power new 70 IV | another power of matter - of a power new to us, and which we 71 IV | We recognize heat by its power of liquefying solid bodies 72 IV | vaporizing liquid bodies; by its power of setting in action, and 73 IV | for the effects of this power. We need not consider many 74 IV | because when you have seen its power of changing ice into water 75 IV | a perfect proof of this power of heat to contract and 76 V | kind to each other - that power which keeps them together 77 V | removing the attractive power by drawing it through his 78 V | shellac, and take away the power, which I can do by drawing 79 V | contain this attractive power; when they were parted, 80 V | which you can evolve this power. When you go home, take 81 V | have a great attractive power, for this little key is 82 V | magnets of extraordinary power). And let us take one of 83 V | examine it, and see where the power is in the mass, and whether 84 V | and whether it is a dual power. You see it attracts these 85 V | that there is an attractive power at the extremities which 86 V | pulls toward it with great power; and, as I carry it round, 87 V | dealing with two kinds of power, attracting different ends 88 V | of the magnet - a double power, already existing in these 89 V | is to express this double power.~Now with this loadstone 90 V | up, so wonderful is its power of attraction. If you take 91 V | magnets that this double power becomes evident principally 92 V | concerned in giving the power. That will at first seem 93 V | the magnet contains this power of attraction and repulsion, 94 V | repulsion, but that the power is only rendered evident 95 V | repulsive. Now is not this power a most wonderful thing? 96 V | than it is; its cohesive power it must and does have; but, 97 V | can add or subtract this power of magnetism, and almost 98 V | silk, and for obtaining the power called electricity; and 99 V | that I can transfer the power from the machine to this 100 V | that we can transfer the power of heat from one thing to 101 V | one way of obtaining the power of heat) and place it under 102 V | Now you are aware that power is being transferred from 103 V | very slow conduction of power as compared with electricity. 104 V | glass does not lose the power which it acquired when it 105 V | with a rod of glass, no power is drawn away, showing you 106 V | the conductibility of this power through some bodies and 107 V | the top, and you see the power of repulsion with which 108 V | can manage to send this power of electricity from place 109 V | materials which can conduct the power. Suppose I want to fire 110 V | it by this transferable power of electricity. I will take 111 V | arrangement which gives us this power, and arrange wires so that 112 V | that they may carry the power to the place I wish; and 113 V | see how it is that this power of electricity can be transferred 114 V | at a loss to bring this power of electricity into comparison 115 VI | to see how it is that one power affects another - how the 116 VI | strips and apply to it the power of heat, admitting the contact 117 VI | it does not take away its power of decomposing the water, 118 VI | We have not destroyed the power of chemical affinity, but 119 VI | this? The platinum has no power of itself to reduce that 120 VI | mysterious way, received this power by its contact with the 121 VI | strange manner, we have power to make that chemical force, 122 VI | between them, have this power transferred from one to 123 VI | whole amount of chemical power there evolved through these 124 VI | the spark shows us what power is present; and what a strange 125 VI | order to see whether this power from the voltaic battery 126 VI | takes place, because the power will cause the gold leaves 127 VI | we have here a chemical power which sends forth the spark; 128 VI | consider it in its energy and power. And the zinc is being burned 129 VI | electric light. That very same power which in that jar you saw 130 VI | show that the amounts of power evolved in either case are 131 VI | identical. Having thus obtained power over the chemical force, 132 VI | illustration of the wonderful power of conveying this force 133 VI | is a complete bridge of power. There is metallic connection 134 VI | want to show you that this power is still chemical affinity; 135 VI | affinity; that if we call the power which is evolved at this 136 VI | solution of indigo, and the power of electricity has come 137 VI | which is, that the chemical power which destroys the color 138 VI | right hand which has the power of destroying the blue, 139 VI | liked, without having any power of themselves to reduce 140 VI | and now we shall have the power appearing on the left-hand 141 VI | and ages ago, by some such power as this. And there is also 142 VI | growing by virtue of this power. The lead and the zinc are 143 VI | also wonderful in their power of producing another of 144 VI | circuit is completed it has no power over the magnet. But observe 145 VI | illustrations of this high magnetic power. There is that long bar 146 VI | it was a magnet. See what power it must have to support
