Reducing a Pound to Nothing.

In what form is lead lightest on the
scales? British scientist has at
tempted to tell how to make the proof.
but it isn't the easiest thing in the
world either to prepare the pound of
lead or place it in position for the
proof He says that making 1000 small
balls OF the pound of lead the weight
remains the same though the surface is
greatly increased. Then reduce the
small balls into 100000 balls. with
the surface enormously increase but
the balls still weigh the one pound in
the scales But this scientist says that
IL these 100000 shot particles further
are reduced TO one twenty tbousandth

atmosphere Just where they are
