Page 387 - ... limestone-balls, and attains a thickness of 65 feet or so. The cellular limestones frequently contain more than 97 per cent, of calcium-carbonate. Magnesium-carbonate occupies the interspaces or ' cells ' of this limestone, and also the spaces between the balls. The hundred or more patterns met with in it can be arranged into two chief classes, conveniently termed honeycomb and coralloid, each with two varieties ; and each class has four distinct stages, both classes having begun with either...‎

Page 583 - The law of radioactive change may therefore be expressed in the one statement — the proportional amount of radioactive matter that changes in unit time is a constant.‎

Page viii - A paper on a determination of the ratio of the specific heats at constant pressure and at constant volume for air and steam was read by Mr.‎

Page 591 - The energy of radioactive change must therefore be at least twenty-thousand times, and may be a million times, as great as the energy of any molecular change. The rate at which this store of energy is radiated, and in consequence the life of a radio-element, can now be considered.‎

Page 676 - I have been led for some years to consider the conditions under which this " boiling " presents itself. It is not necessarily due to a high temperature of the external air, for the most perfect definition I have ever seen of any terrestrial object was obtained by me long since in the Harvard College Observatory at...‎

Page 180 - The testing vessel and system of plates were waxed to a lead plate P so that the rays entered the vessel V only through the aluminium foil. It is necessary in these experiments to have a steady stream of gas passing downwards between the plates in order to prevent the diffusion of the emanation from the radium upwards into the testing vessel. The presence in the testing vessel of a small amount of this emanation, which is always given out by radium, would produce great ionization and completely mask...‎
