Suction.

People often speak Of chimneys

tIon of pump. There is not no much
harm in these expressions. except that
they are liable to lead US away from
the true state affairs. But In truth
there is no such thing as suction. Sue
tion is merely partial or entire absence
OF pressure In one place which enables
the greater pressure Of air or fluid In
another place to rush In. In the case
of the chimney the heated air In II

volume of cold air. and II the nir In
