Since every known substance may be reduced in bulk by pressure , it follows that the particles of matter are not in actual contact , but are separated by interstices ; and it is evident that the smaller the interstitial spaces the ...

Beyond this neutral point the attractive force increases as the distance between the molecules augments till it attains a maximum ; when the particles are more apart , it diminishes ; and , as soon as they are separated by finite or ...

In the course of time the cohesion has sometimes been so powerful , that they could not be separated without breaking . Instances have occurred where two or three have been so perfectly united , that they have been cut and their edges ...
