PoLsrrcnsIe rrsr,rrrios pr, Ryan gave, this week
recent experiments lately by Professor Bougny
At Cambridge. DR. Ryan Commenced his lecture by some
interesting details connected with the principal
explosions in seemboers and in connection with the
overheated state Of ues and the resulting accidents lie
pointed out that the num point of evaporation
much below tho red heat OF ironbeng in fact higher
than 400 degrees of Larenhe therefore until the
cooled down explosion could take place lie illustrated
this, by pouring water into platinum cIucble at white
heat The water Immediately assumed the spherodal
dion and continued in violent state of action until the
platinum cooled down. when suddenly the became
converted into steam with immense violence In this way
doubt boilers had been injured, after the had
been removed. These experiments, however. DR. Ryan
said were enormously called Mons Boutgnys they
not new having been exhibited in Paris London and
lea fifteen ago. by Mons. Pouelet Faaday and
The concluding experiment DR. Ryan said real
ly new, which he performed in the following manner
deep plana capsule was brought to glowing heat and
at the moment liquid suphurous acid Nv hch had
been preserved in the liquid state by freezing mixture
and some water were poured into the vessel The rapid
evaporation of the volatile suphurous ucd which enters
into ebulon at the freezing point produced such
tense degree Of cold that lump Of ice as large mans
fist Immediately formed and thrown the redhot
vessel and handed round the audience who expressed
their appreciation by loud applause.
