= FIRE AND AIR.
The aAncieRts Recognized Inti-
mate Relations Between Them.

The AncfeRts Recognized the Init,
mate Relations Between Them,
! The intimate relation between fire
and air was early recognized. seeing
that experience soon taught that air
was necessary for fire. The expert
mentlof burningea candle in a closed
vessel, now so familiar to every school.
boy, is very old one, and the. influ-.
ence Of a. blast of air on a furnace had
been probably noticed from a very re-
mote period. BY some it was affirmed
to be the, food of FIRE. while by others
the same belief was embodied in the
phrase, "Air nourishes fire. o. 5z#{%%
Again, it was long ago observed that
inter, a substance well known to the
chemical philosophers of the past, could
produce intense, ignition. 1t was hence
inferred that, since inter possessed this
property, it necessarily followed that
the two substances resembled each 9th
er in composition. According to Rob
ert Boyle, the air contained. volatile
inter-. while Lord Bacon held that air
contained af"volatile, crude and windy
spirit and thunder and lightning
We're supposed to be due to the pres:
ence Of minute particles of this inter
dinused through air. j. .... .:s !.
Il The Important bearing of such obser-
vations is due to the fact that oxygen
gas, which lis one of.the chief constitu.
ents OF air and the one to which IT
owes its power Of supporting combus-.
ton, also forms the largest elementary
constituent OF inter and is likewise the,
source Of the power possessed by that
body of supporting combustion. Ill
The action of heat on metals in caus.
ing them to lose their metallic luster
had also not escaped notice, and Car.
dan, a philosopher who lived during
the sixteenth century, In noticing the
increase in weight that lead undergoes
when heated in air, attributed it to the
gas In the air, which feeds fame and
which rekindles body presenting an
ignited point. VIZ. ..55 5s$:z Il!
