CHEMICAL By means of chemical symbols, or formula the composition of the most complicated sub: — stances can be very easily expressed, and that too, in a very small compass; and by using these aymbols along with the algebraic signs + and = (more rarely —) the most complicated chemical reactions can be expressed with great concises ness and complete accuracy, both quatitativ and quantitatively. Abbreviated uxpressions 6% equations of this kind often give, in a sings line, more information as to details thos a : be given tn many lines of letterpress étseif it indicates one atom of the element it fepresents, Thus H stands for one atom of bydrogen, O for one atom of oxygen, and Cl for One atom of chlorine. When a symbol] has 8 emall figure or number @nderwritten, and to the right of it, such figure oF number indicates the number of atoms of the element. Thus Os signifies two atoms of oxygen, S; five atoms of sulphur, and C,o ten atoms of carbon, When twe or more elements are united to form a chemical compound, their symbols are @ritten one after the other, to indicate the ¢ompound. Thus Hs0 means water, a com- pound of two atoms of hydrogen and one of oxygen; Cj9H5201, indicates cane-sugar, a compound of twelve atoms of carbon, twenty- &wo of hydrogen, and eleven of oxygen. These two expressions as they stind denote fespectively a molecule of the substance they fepresent, that is, the smallest possible quantity of it capable o? existing in the free state. To @xpress several molecules a large figure is pre- Gxed; thus, 2H,0 represents two molecules of water, 4(C;5H320;,) four molecules of cane- @ugar. ‘When a compound is formed of two or more compounds the symbolical expressions for tho | ‘gompound are usually connected together by o comma; thus, the crystallized magnesic sul- | Glad is MgSO4,7Hs0. The symbols may also be used to express the changes which occur during chemical action, and they are then written in. the form of an equation, of which one side represents the substances as they exist before the change, the other the result of the reaction, Thus, 2H3+O03=2H30 expresses the fact that two molecules of hydrogen, each con- taining two atoms, and one of oxygen, also con- taining two atoms, combine to give two mole- gules of water, each of them containing two *purss of hydrogen and one of uxygem Aquarius, the Waterman, e Pisces, the Fishes, © © BIGNS AND SYMBOLS , A256 Asana cece Symbcls.{ Elements, Symbols. cas: uminium,e «Al | Molybdenum oM Antimony ; (Sti Neodi mium, ona ASTRONOMICAL, bium},e e ¢fb |Nickel, © «© Ni ®Q® ee ees So Hos Mea EU hook * e As | Nitroge ° : jum, « ¢ «Ba Osmium,” as Os & ae kd ee U Supiter. i en ee ot nae Bea °c 2 BI 2 ° ron, @ 7 oo B Phosphorus, «- «P © Full Moon, HB or ( Uratus, Bromine, « -° Br |Piatinum, - > Pt* € Last Quarter. ‘*2 ~ Neptune Cadmium, « Od | Potassium (Kalium), K' 8 _Mercur: Co Cesium, > os | Prageodidymium, ury. omet, ates eore pe Rhodiaim, Cee BR @ Venus, %* Star. @ ° ° * ° uy.

Two views of the bearing are shown in ordeg to make the arrangement perfectly clear. : 51. A recoil escapement, for clocks, The anchog HLKE is made to oscillate on the axis.a by thé swing of the pendulum. The teeth of the escapee ment-wheel a come alternately against the outer surface of the pallet z and the inner surface of the pallet nu. The pallets are not concentric to the axis a, and therefore a slight recoil of the whee} takes place after the escape of a tooth (whence the namo of the escapement). When the pallets leav@ a tooth the teeth slide along their surtaces, givin® an impulse to the pendulum. i 82, A Gead-beat or repose escapement for clocks, The lettering is as in the preceding. The pallets are concentric with the axis a, and thus while a tooth is against the pallet the wheel is stationary. 53. A lever escapement of a-watch, The anchor ® is attached tothe lever gc, withthenotchy. On @ disk p, on the axis of the balance-wheel, there is a pin which enters the notch at the middle of each vibration, causing the pallet to enter in and retire from between the teeth of the scape-wheel. The wheel gives an impuise to each pallet alternately as ft leaves a ‘tooth, dnd the lever gives an impulse to the balance-wheel in opposite directions alter- mately., | 64.

Montgolfier’s hydraulic ram, by means of which a small fall of water throws a jet to a great height o¢ furnishes a supply at a high level. The actiou of the water on the two valves, which are alternately epen, is easily comprehended. The right-hand ope is pressed down by a weight or spring. The elasticity of the air gives uniformity to the efflux. 66. Coramon lift-pump. During up-stroke lower valve opens and piston-valve closes, and water rushes up to fill the vacuum created. During down-stroke lower valve closes and piston-vaive opens, and the water passes through the piston. At next up-ttreke it is raised by the piston and passes out by the spout. 67. Commen foree-pump, with two valves, When piston rises, the euetion-valve opens and water enters the vacuum. When piston descends the suction-valre eleges and the outlet-valve rio and the water is forced up through the out pipe. 68. A double-acting pniston-pump with fous valves.

Water forced by the pump through the small pipe into the ram oylinder and under the solid ram forces the latter up, The amount of force exerted on the ram bears to the pressure on the plunger the same fatio as the area of the ram does to the areaof the plunger. Thus, if the area of the plunger cross- section be two square inches and that of the ram four square feet, a pressure of ten pounds on the former wil! produce a pressure of 2880 pounds on the latter, or nearly 26 cwts. _ 70.
