Page 490 - The PRESIDENT then delivered his Address, (p. 65.) It was proposed by Mr. LATHAM, seconded by Mr. FIELD, and resolved:— " That the thanks of the Society be given to the President for his Address, and that he be requested to allow it to be printed in the Quarterly Journal of the Society.
Page 282 - H, the proposition at which we have just arrived would lead us to believe that each atom of hydrogen does not remain quietly in juxtaposition with the atom of chlorine with which it first united, but, on the contrary, is constantly changing places with other atoms of hydrogen, or, what is the same thing, changing chlorine. Of course this change is not directly sensible to us, because one atom of hydrochloric acid is like another ; but suppose we mix with the hydrochloric acid some sulphate of copper...
Page 490 - ... the thanks of the meeting be given to the President for his address, and that he be requested to allow it to be printed. This motion was seconded by Dr. Gladstone, and accepted with acclamation by the Fellows present. The President acknowledged the compliment. — Dr. AK Miller and Dr. Rideal were...
Page 120 - ... investigations now in progress at Rothamsted are made public. Some investigations into the distribution of the nitric ferment in natural soil are summarized by Warrington as follows : " I am disposed to conclude that in our clay soils the nitrifying organism is not uniformly distributed much below nine inches from the surface.
Page 286 - ... twelve are engaged in the formation of the sixcarbon ring and six in retaining the six hydrogen atoms, in the manner ordinarily supposed ; while the remaining six react upon each other, — acting towards a centre as it were : so that the " affinity " may be said to be uniformly and symmetrically distributed.
Page 120 - On much lighter grounds it may perhaps be assumed that the organism is sparsely distributed down to eighteen inches, or, possibly, somewhat farther. At depths of from two feet to eight feet there is no trustworthy evidence to show that the clay contains the nitrifying organism. It is, however, probable that the organism may occur in the natural channels which penetrate the subsoil at a greater depth than in the solid clay. In the case of sandy soils we may probably assume that the organism will be...
Page 282 - ... elements hydrogen and copper do not limit their change of place to the circle of the atoms with which they were at first combined, the hydrogen does not merely move from one atom of chlorine to another, but in its turn also replaces an atom of copper, forming chloride of copper and sulphuric acid.
Page 54 - A tree, then, is a woody plant growing up from the ground usually with a single stem. (See fig. 1.) It consists of three parts: First, the roots, which extend into the ground to a depth of 3 or 4 feet, or still farther when the soil is not too hard and they do not find moisture enough near the surface. (See figs.
Page 162 - The foregoing data present a considerable addition to the body of evidence in support of the view that element! whose atomic weights differ by a constant quantity, and whose chemical character is similar, are truly homologous, or, in other words, are the same kind of matter in different states of condensation. Their particles are vibrating in the same manner, but with different velocities.
Page 573 - February ; in these 5 months 9J ins. have percolated, while in the remaining 7 months the percolation has been 4J ins. (5.) When land is covered by vegetation, evaporation is increased ; summer drainage almost entirely ceases, and the main winter drainage commences in November rather than October. (6.) With a normally distributed rainfall the drainage season is from October to February, or with a smaller rainfall...
