This week we are showing one
reel scientific film, "Beyond the Mi
croscope." This is the second one
the Electric company has sent us. 1t
shows the decomposition of water
into its two gases, hydrogen and oxl-
gen. 1t shows how the gases burn
and assist combustion. The struc-
ture of the atoms which make up
hydrogen and oxygen molecules IS
shown by animated drawings. The
film shows how the atoms combine
to form a water molecule, the action
of the nuclie, electrons, etc. IL
shows how water is produced by ex-
ploding the two gases and the pres
sure created by the explosion 1t
shows what takes place as heat IS
applied and how the molecules be-
have when water freezes or is form :,
ed into snowflakes. n
Few people realize that water is :
of two gases, hydrogen o
and oxygen, which when separated
and recompounded in certain proper t
ions will cut through steel thirty-six f
inches thick. F
