The reason a body falls when not supported is that there is not enough air under it to keep it up and so it has to fall or the specific gravity is not great enough to hold it up.

The difference between latent and sensible heat is that it feels sensible.

If you listen closely you can vibrate a pitchfork.

If an experiment be successful the result will be inevitable.

Thermal unit is the heat required to raise a pound of water through one foot.

If we were on a railroad track and a train was coming the train would deafen our ears so that we couldn’t see to get off the track.

Tides are caused by the reflection of the sun and moon upon the water.

Sir Isaac Newton founded the “Laws of Gravity.”

A simple pendulum is an imaginary point hung on a thread.

The vibrations of a pendulum is determined by the time they take.

A noise is a collection of sounds which means nothing but a clatter.

Sound is that form or motion of the mind which effects the oratory nerves.

The upper skin is called eppederby and the lower skin is called derby.

We should never eat because the food does not digest.

Digestion belongs to the lower animals.

Digestion is the circulation of the blood.

Digestion is reducing our food to plump.

Digestion is when food is taken into the stomach.

The digestive fluids are the nerves muscles and bones.

The organs of digestion are the stomach liver spleen and utensils.

The stomach is a small pear-shaped bone situated in the body.

After swallowing the food undergoes mastification.

The gastric juice keeps the bones from creaking.

The gastric juice digests the stomach.

There are three salivary glands. The lacte als in the intestines. The lymphatic in the stomach. They change starch to grape sugar in the mouth.

Eating rapidly the food does not give the saliva time to get into the mouth.

The salivary glands are used to salivate the body.

Perspiration is caused by the culinary glands.

We all have a very important elementary cannal.

The heart is a comical shaped bag.

The function of the heart is between the lungs.

The heart is suspended from the fifth pair of ribs.

The heart manufactures the blood and the liver keeps it going.

Whenever the heart is emptied by the action of the lungs it causes disease.

When the heart beats it stirs up the blood and that digests the food.

The work of the heart is to repair the different organs in about half a minute.

The nerve centers are the cartilages of the nerves.

The optic nerve is the principal nerve used in digestion.

The optic nerve is the nerve located at the base of the brain.

The olfactory nerve enters the cavity of the orbit and is developed into the special sense of hearing.

Nerves always give us the toothache.

Neuralgia is caused by nerves trying to pierce the bones.

The bones need constant oiling. This oil is called cartilege and runs from all the glands in the body.

The eyes are set in two sockets in a bone which turns up at the end and then becomes the nose.

When the blood circulates in the brain it is called intermittent.

The blood flows through the alimentery canal into the abdominal canopy.

The size of the earth is found by finding the horizontal parallax of the sun.

Abberation is if we saw a star and shot at it, the shot would not pass through the center but through the side.

The moon is 240 miles from the earth.

The moon’s nodes are the corners of the moon’s orbit.

The reason for believing that there are mountains on the moon is due to the shadows reflected on the earth.

The libration of the moon show the north, east, south, and west sides of the heavens.

The motions of the moon are found by watching the sun spots.

There can be an eclipse of the moon when the sun gets into the moon’s shadow.

Venus, Jupiter and perhaps the earth was known to the ancients.

Mars moves in his orbit at the rate of sixteen seconds a mile.

The earth is 1492 miles in circumference.

The spheres are to each other as the squares of their homologous sides.

Eclipses are caused whenever the obscuration of a body is passed by the shadow of some other body.

The planets shine with a steady light but the stars sprinkle.

The stars would cover up the whole heavens if they were all spread out so astronomers have concluded to arrange them in constellations.

We should always breathe with the musels of the diagram unless we have catarr or a cold in the head.

Vigorous breathing gives you wind in the lungs.

Strong breathing prevents bilious deficiencies.

By breathing any slight adhesion of the lungs is torn away.

Good breathing prevents contagious diseases from settling in the systum.

Breathing is very good for reading for when you are reading you carnt breathe at all and so it is good to breath a good deal before.
