_
The human body in our climate, is al
way's much warmer than the atmosphere,
and is constantly throwing off heat. All
substances, in respect of heat are called
good or bad conductors. if we apply our
hand to the carpet, it will appear tolerably
warm, because it is a bad concuctor, and
takes no heat from us. If we next touch
the floor, which is of wood, (and, therefore,
although a had one, a better conductor than
the carpet,) it will appear somewhat cold, as
it takes some of the heat of our hard away.
Iron and all metals, (being eminently good
conductors,) will abstract a greater quantity
of heat from us; so that when we come to
touch that, it will appear very cold, from
the loss of heat that our body immediately
experiences. The same fallacious testimo
ny of the touch would induce us to believe
that water is really much colder than it is.
When we take the cold bath, we experience
a chilly sensation in passing out of the at.
inosphere into the water, although a tiler
motnetor will tell us that both are of the
same temperature: this is because it has a
property peculiar to itself, by which it abs
sorbs and carries away whatever heat may
be brought in contact with it. and which is
equivalent in its results to the property of a
conductor. Thus it %ill appear that what
seems to be a cold sensation received from
other ohjems, is, in reality, nothing more
than the loss of heat in touching them; and
thus it is evident that the Author of the uni
verse for"med our senses to answer the ordi
nary purpose life, and gave os intellect
to cortt•et their errors, alit enables us to
apply t! em to hi t her and nold:tr purposes of
science.—Dr. Lardner.
