LECTURE ON CHEMISTRY
Delivered by Father Paquin at Mt. &
Gnantal Academy.

Delivered by Father Paquin at Mt. de
Chantal Academy.
Yesterday afternoon Father L. p.
PaQuin, or Elm Grove, gave lecture
on Chemistry, to the faculty and pu-
pills Of Mt. de Chantal. This subject,
the lecturer SAID, IS supposed to be an
uninteresting study, whereas it is the
eye OF most of the sciences, and in a
few practical illustrations he showed
the hight thrown by the chemical la
boratory on the nelds OF Geology,
Minesology, Physics, Astronomy, Ply
slology and other sciences. He proved
that Chemistry has contributed large
ly to many of the achievements OF the
arts, such as painting, photography
and medicine, and in beautiful de-
scriptiOn OF nature, he showed how the
air, water and sunlight are constantly
busy transforming the soul OF the
earth into the sap of vegetables and
the blood of animals. covering the
lawn with it's beautiful carpet, adOrn-
ing the garden with its variety Of
flowers, clothing the trees with their
green foliage.
He then explained the constitution
of matter. the nature of the mole
culeS and atoms, dwelling at length
on the motion Of the molecules and
their characteristic properties in gases,
liquids and solids. He then passed to
the atoms, the elementary constituents
of the molecules, explained their I'M
changeablenesS and the preservation
of their integrity amidst the uninter-
rupted series of transformations of
matter to which they have been SUI
jected from the time of their creation.
In conclusion Father Paquin called at
tention to the tremendous energy de-
veloped in the combination or disun-
ion of the atoms. exemplifying this
energy by many facts, especially the
force developed by the chemical de-
composition of gun powder, which
con split rocks asunder and which has
lately thrown shells weighing several
hundred pounds from the guns Of our
warships causing the destruction OF
Cervera's fleet. The next lecture will
be on the Chemistry of Water
