Page 36 - ... the ratio of the specific heat of air at constant pressure to the specific heat at constant volume.
Page 38 - I place a sheet of vulcanised india-rubber on a sheet of tinfoil, and a second sheet of tinfoil upon the rubber. I connect the lower sheet with the earth, and the upper one with the conductor of an electrical machine. What occurs when the machine is set in motion ? 4.
Page 37 - Water is part of the juice of the orange ; how do you suppose the water to be acted on when the two metals in the last experiment are connected together ? You must here state the composition of water, both by weight and volume.

Page 37 - Describe the gold-leaf electroscope, and state the principle of its action. 6. I grind sulphur in a mortar, and thus electrify it. I place some of the electrified powder on the plate of a gold-leaf electroscope ; the leaves diverge ; why ? since the sulphur is an insulator, and does not part with its electricity. I remove the powder by means of an insulator ; what will occur, and why will it occur ? 7.
Page 37 - You are to examine by means of a magnetic needle, the magnetic condition of a piece of soft iron. You are also to examine the condition of a piece of magnetic iron ore of the same size and shape as the iron. State some of the differences which are sure to show themselves between both.
