ive and delightful to every young mind.
Take an ^example: The child' liasj
I placed befora. him two glass tumblers —
the ond conidifiing quartz, the other lime
1 or sand and ^halk. The name ofcaA is
of course as &adily learnt as the name of
iron, lepdfgoB, tree, horse, or any other
object in Nature or Art. Into each tum-
bler is poured some sulphuric or muriatic
(acid. In the!* tumbler of lime the pupil
observes an action—in that of quartz no
action. He is told this action is called
cfiervcscenee. ~IIe hence learns to
recognize lime and quartz, and the more
. certainly from lhe recollection that the one

efiervesces with acids and the other does
not. > *
Here is an example of geology and
chemistry, alike useful to the fanner and
; interesting to lhe farmer’s child, or any
'Ichild. The same simplicity and direct
fundamental instruction run through lhe
whole of both of these exceedingly prac-
tical sciences.
1 may hereafter point out a
leading, principles of these two sciences ;
their connection with each other; their
essential importance to all classes, and,
I most of all, farmers; their exceeding fit-
i ness for the early instruction of children,
aud the entire feasibility of having them
among the u first lessons'’ taught in each
of the eighty thousand American schools.
Oxus is the Greek word for acid;
ginomai, in Greek, means make ; hence
; the literal meaning of oxygen is acid
maker. Combined with sulphur it forms
sulphuric acid; witRnitrogen,.nitric acid ;
with carbon, carbonic acid, &c. . Respi-
ration, combustion, and fermentation are
I the thrie principal operations producing
tire combinations of oxygen and-carbon ;
i the results, carbonic acid.
Acids combine readily with metals,
earths, and alkalies—as iron, lime and
, potash. By chemists these combinations
are called salts, designated by the termi-
nation Sulphuric acid, combining
i with various bases, produces sulphates ;
nitric, nitrates ; carbonic, carbonates.—
; Sulphate of lime is g}rpsum, or plaster of
i Paris ; sulphate of iron, copperas ; of
soda, glauber salts; of magnesia, epsom
salts. rpi------1-------------
