I have already communicated to the Royal Society a description of experiments by which found that iron, when subjected magnetic force, acquires an increase resistance conduction electricity along, and diminution across, lines magnetization. By more recently made, ascertained electric conductivity nickel is similarly influenced magnetism, but greater degree, with curious difference from iron in relative magnitudes transverse longitudinal effects.

In a closed vessel containing only liquid and its vapour, all at one temperature, the rests, with free surface raised or depressed in capillary tubes neighbourhood of solid boundary, permanent equilibrium according to same law relation between curvature pressure as vessels open air. The permanence this implies physical vapour contact it parts surface. But different levels differs hydrostatic law. Hence saturated bounding surface, being less when is concave, greater convex.

Sir Humphrey Davy, by his experiment of melting two pieces ice rubbing them together, established the following proposition:—“The phenomena repulsion are not dependent on a peculiar elastic fluid for their existence, or caloric does exist.” And he concludes that heat consists motion excited among particles bodies. “To distinguish this from others, and to signify cause our sensation heat,” expansion expansive pressure produced in matter heat, “the name repulsive has been adopted.”

Stability of Fluid Motion (continued

1. The mathematical work of the present paper has been performed to illustrate hypothesis, that space is continuously occupied by an incompressible frictionless liquid acted on no force, and material phenomena every kind depend solely motions created in this liquid. But I take, first place, as subject investigation, a finite mass fluid completely enclosed rigid fixed boundary.

It was discovered by Peltier that heat is absorbed at a surface of contact bismuth and antimony in compound metallic conductor, when electricity traverses it from the to antimony, generated contrary direction. This fact, taken connection with Joule's law electrical generation homogeneous suggests following assumption, which foundation theory present laid before Royal Society.

Cor The stress on any part body in equilibrium will thus signify the which it experiences from matter touching that all round, whether entirely homogeneous with itself or only so across portion its bounding surface. strain definite alteration form dimensions experienced by solid.

The following investigation was commenced in consequence of a letter received by the author from Prof. Stokes, dated Oct. 16, 1854.

1. For eighteen years it has pressed on my mind, that essential principles of Thermo-dynamics have been overlooked by those geologists who uncompromisingly oppose all paroxysmal hypotheses, and maintain not only we examples now before us, the earth, different actions which its crust modified in geological history, but these never, or whole, more violent past time than they are at present.

After noticing Helmholtz's admirable discovery of the law vortex motion in a perfect liquid, that is, fluid perfectly destitute viscosity (or friction), author said this inevitably suggests idea rings are only true atoms. For pretext seeming to justify monstrous assumption infinitely strong and rigid pieces matter, existence which is asserted as probable hypothesis by some greatest modern chemists their rashly-worded introductory statements, urged Lucretius adopted Newton; it seems necessary...
