Combustion,

COMBUSTION, in some form or other, is
co-existent with nature and animal life,
and. according 10 the popular acCeptatlon,
signifies burning or the process OF ac-
ton of fire in consuming any substance,
attended by both heat and ffame-as the
combustion of wood, coal or peat. This
definition, however, is very defective,
for under certain circumstances the oper-
alton of combustion is not attended with
fire OF fame, as is daily witnessed by the
rusting of metals which undergo q slow
combustion, the rusted portions being
burnt away or oxidiZed. Heat is gen
Grated 70 a greater or less degree, accord
ing to the rapiiity of the combustion,
and if the rusting can be made sufficient
ly rapid the rise of temperature is sufti-
ciently marked 10 be readily detected.
Experiments 10 prove this may be made
by taking large mass of iron filings,
and, after wetting them thoroughly, ex-
posing them for a considerable time to
the influence Of the air.
Modern chemistry describes cOmbus-
tion as the union OF an infammable sub
stance with oxygen, attenCed usually
vita light, heat and flame. According
TO Lavoi sier, heat or calOric is disengaged,
and oxygen is absorbed. IRE, who Is
considered high authority, regards Lavol-
sier's theory a somewhat defective, and
advances as q substitute the following
