Part 1 (2/2)

_Luxuriant_, fertile, flourishi+ng

_Signal_, reinate?

Vapor is water, coreater quantity of caloric,--that is, an imponderable and subtile form ofasunder the particles of the water, renders it aeriforht

_Subtile_, thin, not dense, or compact

_Particle_, a s the form of air

What is Water?

The fluid which covers lobe, and which is necessary for the life and health of the anietable creation; for without water there would be neither rain nor dew, and everything would perish It is likewise a necessary beverage for e_, drink, liquor for drinking

In how many states do we find Water?

In four: 1st, solid, as in ice, snow, hail, &c; 2d, fluid, as in its common form; 3d, aeriform, as in steam; and 4th, in a state of union with other matter Its most simple state is that of ice, which is water deprived of a certain portion of its caloric: crystallization then takes place, and the water becomes solid and is called ice

_Crystallization_, the process by which the parts of a solid body, separated by solution or fusion, are again brought into the solid forular and bounded by plane and smooth surfaces

_Solution_, the diffusion of a solid through so fluid by heat

From what cause is the Water deprived of its caloric?

From the coldness of the atlobe it is mostly solid; there it is similar to the hardest rocks, and reat solidity is occasioned by the low te air; and in very cold countries ice round so fine as to be bloay by the wind, and will still be ice

_Poles_, the extreinary line, supposed to be drawn through the centre of the earth; or when applied to the heavens, the two points directly over the in a state of solidity?

No; it is found in a solid state in many minerals, as in marble, &c, and is then called _water of Crystallization_ It is essential, in many cases, to their solidity and transparency

_Essential_, necessary

_Transparency_, clearness, the power of transht
