All the morning while some one was
fooling Old Jed Thumper, the cross, old
rabbit. who thought he owned the Old
Pasture, Peter Rabbit lay. stretched out
on the warm little sunning-bank which
he had found dreaming of soft, gentle
ewes and beautiful little footprints. 1t
was a dangerous place to go to sleep, be-
cause at any time fierce Mr.. Goshawk
might have come that way. and II he had.
and had found Peter Rabbit asleep, why
that would have seen the end Of Peter
and all the stories about him. But Peter
did go to sleep. You see. the summing
bank was so warm and comfortable. and
he was so tired and had had so little sleep
for such a long time. that in spite of all
he could do he nodded and nodded ana
finally slipped off into dreamland.
Peter slept a long time. for no one came
to disturb him. 1t was past noon when
he opened his eyes and blinked up at jolly
round red Mr. Sun. For a minute he
couldn't remember where he was. When
he did he sprang to his feet. and hastily
looked this way and that way.

In an fashioned grape arbor

forms a small group of three atoms.
The novelty of the conception was in
the notion that oxygen itself, in the
state of gas as it exists. for example,
In the air. consists of small, groups Of
atoms; in this case, two. To such small
groups of atoms was given the name
molecules. A molecule Is that portion or
a substance which can exist in the free
state, as oxygen does in air. An atom
generally exists in combination: but
atoms may, and sometimes do, exist sep
arately; in which case they also are
termed molecules. Now. can molecules
be seen? Is their existence a mere
assumption? The answer to that Ques-
ton Is: No.. they cannot be seen: but
artificial molecules can be made which
correspond SO closely in their behavior
to real molecules that the existence OF
real molecules is practically certain
