ANSWERS to she QUERIES. QUIRY 1. anfwered by Mr. G. Lodge, of Linton. Caoutchouc, Indian Rubber, or Leadeater, are names given to a very elaftic gum or refin, the produce of a tree which grows along the banks of the river of the Amazons. A very full account of which, and its fingular properties, may be feen under the above word in the laft edition of Chambers's Cyclopedia. The fame, by John Dalton, of Kendal. The Caoutchouc, or elaftic gum, is an artificial production, made by combining fmoke with the juice of an unknown tree, a native of Spanish America, as alfo of India and China. The European chymifts are yet unacquainted with the procefs by which this combination is effected, as well as of the means ufed in forming it into bottles, the fhape in which it is moftly feen in Europe. Some account of it may be seen in some late Elements of Chymistry, written in French. QUERY 2. answered by Mr. Alex. Rowe, of Reginais. Between the arbors of a fhady grove, The feat of pleafure, or the fcene of love;. The fame by Mr. John Jackfon, of Hutton-Rudby School. The place alluded to by this query, must be the fituation of the eye; which either in the tallest perfon feen here, is fcarcely 3 ells, of 3 quarters each from the earth; or, otherwife, is that fituation in the heavens, where an eye being placed, can only view the diameter of this earth apparently 3 elle broad. QUERY 3. anfwered by Mr. G. Dixon, of London. The properties of fire are as yet but imperfectly known; yet we may res fonably fuppofe that it cannot exift without air, and indeed requires a pretty strong body of it for its fupport. Now by the heat of the fun the body of air is rarefied, and confequently the force deftroyed which it would otherwife have, did not the fun fhine upon it. Mr. John Dalton fays, The reafon why the fun, fhining upon the fire, renders it fo languid, feems to be owing to its rarefying the circumambient air. For it has been proved from a variety of experiments by Boyle and others, that combuftible bodies burn with more or lefs vehemence, as the air they are in is condenfed or rarefied. And Mr. Jonathan Hornby, of Westerdale, fays, The fire does not really go out, but only apparently fo, on account of the fun's rays being more lu minous than those of the fire. QUERY |
