Professor Faraday devoted the greater portion of his lec-
ture last week to describing. the results of previous attemped
ts
to liquify and solidify different gases. He first explain
the distinction between a gas and a vapour. The latter,
though resembling in all its mechanical properties a p.
intonperma-
nently elastic gas, is nevertheless easily condensed
liquid, by reduction of the temperature by ordinary means
under the pressure of the atmosphere. A gas, on the con-
under
cannot be condensed by any ordinary reduction of tem-
perature. He had originally succeeded in condensing
carbonic acid gas, by generating it enclosed in
by which means the pressure was increased to thir
at
ty
atmospheres, and then the liquid carbonic acid appeared
one end of the tube. He had subsequently succeeded n!
liquifying some more of the gases, and other chemists
.d
added to the number, so that there were known to be n??
gases capable of being condensed, by pressure, into liq
M. Tillorier discovered that by the expansion of liquid 0,17
bonic acid in escaping so much cold is produced that tfy
liquid becomes solid, and assumes the form of snow, but
the other gases had resisted the many efforts that had berfd
a tube,
made to reduce them into a solid form. He
now to announce, as the results of his recent adds.exi
riments, that he had succeeded in liquifying six r
tional gases, and had solidified seven that had never
previously been known in that form. The principle.%
which lie had proceeded in those experiments was to sultlect,
the gas when under pressure to the lowest teroperaturoe,Wer
tainable by artificial means. It had been an error in
~,r
experimenters to endeavour to succeed by pressure alone: ..vts
each gas may be considered to have its freezing and 10
liquid point as well as water; it would, therefore, b .0
reasonable to expect to freeze water by subjecting it
immense pressure without cold as it would be to freezetib7
gas by pressure alone. Acting on this principle, be tub-
