As epidemics have frequently prevailed in seacoast cities known to be in an insanitary condition, it has been generally assumed that the presence of decomposing organic material is favorable for the development of an epidemic and that, like typhoid fever and cholera, yellow fever is a "filth disease."
The storing of energy by chemical means may be illustrated by decomposing potassium chlorate with heat or by decomposing water by means of a current of electricity. Study the transfer of energy from the body to surrounding objects, as in moving substances and lifting weights. Fill a half gallon jar two thirds full of water and carefully take the temperature with a chemical thermometer.
It was suggested that the decomposition of so much human flesh and the settling of the decomposing fragments into the bed of the stream might make the water so foul as to breed disease and scatter death in a new form among the surviving dwellers in the valley. Not Afraid of a Plague. Surgeon General Hamilton expressed the opinion that the danger was not so great as might be supposed.
It thrusts its neck into the belly of its prey; and for a couple of days all seems to go well. Then, lo and behold, the Cetonia turns putrid and the Scolia dies, poisoned by the ptomaines of the decomposing game! As before, I see it turn brown and die on the spot, still half inside the toxic corpse. The fatal issue of my experiment is easily explained. The Cetonia-larva is alive in every sense.
Jaques Meyer, of Carlsbad, that it may be connected with obesity, is negatived by the fact that of the three persons in whom this substance was found, only one was corpulent. The problem of decomposing chloride of magnesium is one which has attracted the attention of technical chemists for many years.
The torrent rolled on toward them; along its length a vapor rose, tinted by the sun with every color of his light; the decomposing rays flashing prismatic fires along the many-tinted scarf of waters. The rugged ledge on which they stood was carpeted by several kinds of lichen, forming a noble mat variegated by moisture and lustrous like the sheen of a silken fabric.
Further, it seems not unlikely that the present objection to tying an artery in the immediate vicinity of a large branch may be done away with; and that even the innominate, which has lately been the subject of an ingenious experiment by one of the Dublin surgeons, on account of its well-known fatality under the ligature for secondary haemorrhage, may cease to have this unhappy character when the tissues in the vicinity of the thread, instead of becoming softened through the influence of an irritating decomposing substance, are left at liberty to consolidate firmly near an unoffending though foreign body.
The miracle is decomposing, but plays numerous enough to stagger my credulity remain. I cannot believe that the author even of the five plays before 1592-3 was the ex-butcher's boy. Meanwhile these five plays, written by somebody before 1593, meet the reader on the threshold of Mr. Furnivall's eleven; and they fairly frighten him, if he be a "Stratfordian."
The fact is that this critic must begin by translating it to understand it in the same way that the pure understanding, left to itself, if it meets beauty and harmony, either in nature or in art, must begin by transferring them into its own language and by decomposing it, by doing in fact what the pupil does who spells before reading.
The difference between free and combined oxygen may also be shown by decomposing other compounds of oxygen, such as water and mercuric oxide. Close the test tube with a tight-fitting stopper which bears a glass tube of sufficient length and of the right shape to convey the escaping gas to a small trough or pan partly filled with water, on the table.
