...one-eighth part ot the whole crust of the globe. It may be assumed that limestone is composed of 56 pans of lime and 44 of carbonic acid. Now lime consists of about 72 per cent of calcium and 88 of oxygen ; and carbonic ncid of about 98 per cent of carbon and 72 of oxygen ; so that oxygen enters... | |
