The air is composed of two substalces,*cal t _ • led oxygen and nitrogen. ;Whether septstie or united; they•exiSt in that aldike from natn q gas., Oxygon, joined with a gas called_ • hydrogen, pioduces water, and-the two gases then exist in a. liquid for Oxygen ..unites 'with iron,-produinff_iron-rutt, and the frott.and . gas exist in them solid. 'We my , ' recollect that - ice, a / seta, is changed to water, a liquid, - • and water is - still apin changed to steam, ' which, When highly heated, ls a gas like the air . . oxygen and nitrogen. Coal and . wood may.be elianged so as to existin the - form of i gas, as .. - >vill appear hereafter. The.form of a 4 bods., , whether solid - , liquid or gaseous,_ dePends . on oms. These atoms are extremely,•.rtrenic/y • Te produce air,' something more is necessa 'ty• than a mere mixturc,•;oxygen and_ nitrogen , as in a mixture of salt awl sugar. ;One parti cle of the oxygen attracts to'itself,;ands unites with four Particles of {nitro g en, tO the' five particles thus joined form a.porti on of air Which goes not attract : an addition.al tatem 'of either gas, but another particle of oxygen joins anoth . • , , er four of nitrogen, and thjts the gronpugeon.l tinues. Should there remain two particles -of i ,one, gas and three of the: other, they .do not join themselves 'together, lint mix very much like grains Of rye among corn. \ - ' Those who-wiShfurther illustratioiiPAY iin rz,ine a quntity' of little balls, Made' by.; stick ing tog,ether one mustard - seed and four clover •• seeds, so as - to forma ball,' the others being formed in . like manner: Each ball would rep - rgAent -a . PartiOe or *globule of air, .each . mus tard,-as joined with fear Clover seeds; would I represent a particle of cixygen joined with font I of nitrogen ; and the extra . particlee of theige gases which do notimambine, may be re.presen ted by some loose seeds Among the. balls.— Thus would a baslret of the bills represent a • quantity of air as it exists'around us. ... The oxygen,whichis the most important . part of •thp.ait remains thus united, until some substance tomes in contact with it; for . which it has a stronger attraction than it bia.for thp; . ' ' nitrogen. Thus, it will t not - leave,the latter to • _combine with:dry, soft wood, butaf 'a piece of phOsphorous is exposed to the, air, it immeili , ately leayes to unite,with the phoSphorus, and the latter burns.
