Page 346 - Those who wish to repeat these experiments would do well to bear in mind, as an essential condition of complete success, that a free way should be open for the transmission of the vibrations from the flame, backwards, through the gas-pipe which feeds it. The orifices of the stopcocks near the flame ought to be as wide as possible.
Page 242 - ONE of the deductions from Maxwell's electromagnetic theory of light is, that the specific inductive capacity of a medium is equal to the square of its refractive index. Another deduction is, that a body which is opaque to light, or, more generally, to radiant energy, should be a conductor of electricity. The first deduction appeared so clear an issue that many experimenters have put it to the test. The results may be briefly summarized thus : — Some bodies (such, for example, as hydrocarbon oils...

Page 464 - ... the reason was entangled, and in explaining them completely in accordance with their own nature, as he dropped the sounding-line into depths which as yet no mortal mind had dared to fathom, and brought up from thence to the light of day news of the primary conditions and eternal postulates of reason. It is therefore not too much to say that Kant is the greatest philosophical genius that has ever dwelt upon earth, and the ' Critique of Pure Reason ' the highest achievement of human wisdom.
