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
