ODDITIES OF AIR PRESSURE
Studies Have Shown That lie lnHu.
enee Must Be consldeted With
That Of Temperature.

Recent studies have shown that, II
theories Of the universe, the intiu-
ence Of pressure must be considered
with that Of temperature. The pres
sure Of the atmosphere about Us
varies but little. but within the earth
and about matter elsewhere the range
il from that Of a so-called vacuum
to millions Of atmosphcres. With an
atmosphere Of the composition Of our
own. a pressure some hundreds Of
times greater would completely
transform the face Of nature.
Pointing this out to the Swiss So
cicty Of Natural Sciences, Dr. L.
Brincr stated that the enormous
q~uickening Of chemical action by the
high pressure would doubtless speed
ily give rise TO a host Of new chem
ical compounds, %pcroxidcs and the
like. aud. on the other hand, would
cause to disappear quickly substances
now thought Of as stable, such rs
nitrous oxide and carbon monoNidc
grscs. High pressure in the stars
seems to act chiefly in giving stabil-
ity to simple or compound bodies
whose molecules, at ordinary pres
surcs. would be broken mp by the
high temperature. Hydrogen, for ev-
ample. at atmospheric pressure Is
found to be only 9 per cent dissoc,at-
I'd into lis atoms nt a temperature
