The working,nen,s Lecture.

Mr. Morrill, lectured last evening on the
Chemistry of water. He showed the compost
tion of water by analysis, by the ouly sat STAG
tory method, that of passing current of cleo
tricty through volume of water, thus sep
aratng the water into two gases, hydrogen and
oxygen To make the experiment clearer he
placed an inverted tube of water over each OF
the wires. Oxygen was caught in the tube
over the positive wire and hydrogen over the
negative. This experiment illustrated the
manner of electroplating, which is done by
passing current of electricity through sou.
ton of some compound of the metal. The ar
ticle to be plated is put on one Of the poles of
the battery, and the electricity decomposes the
compound, and the metal Is attracted to the
article on the pole of the battery. Sir Hum
phrey Davy discovered the metal potassium
in this manner about 100 years ago, and since
then the discoveries of sodium and magnesium
have followed that of potassium.
Mr.. Morrill, prepared hydrogen, which was
discovered in England by Cavendish. He
performed some interesting experiments with
this gas, among them blowing bubbles of n.y.
drogen and, as it is very light, the BUBBLES rose
and were ligh ed, showing the weight OF hy-
drogen. He then blew some bubbles OF hydro
gen mixed with oxygen, and H. GIFTED them up
on which decidedly audible report occurred.
This experiment shows az illuminating
gas is the principal of hydrogen, the danger OF
allowing the gas to escape in room. Exp lo-
sions in mines occur from the Reason that hy-
drogen, which is composed largely of wood
and forms in the coal, is setfree by the miners,
and mixing with the air ia room ferns a
highly explosive mixture, which is ignited by
the lamps in the miners Caps To remedy this
great danger Davy invented q safety lamp,
which has saved thousands of lives. Il is COM
posed of foe wire gauze, and is impenetrable
to hydrogen.
MIR. Morlil explained the cause of explo-
sions in -four mlls, aud illustrated by expert
ments. He gave ether interesting facts that
should be known more generally than they are
at present.
These lectures can be made source of much
knowledge if attended throughout the course.
