section he had read in Galileo Galilei's «Dialogue on the Two Chief
Systems of the World». 3. The actual events must have been much
more complex. 4. Something was in his mind when the famed apple
fell that was different from anything that had occured to the other
people in similar curcumstances. It would be good to know what
that some-thing could have been. 5. I do not say «what it was»,
because there is no way to be certain of it, but I can suggest some-
thing it could well have been. 6. In the book is a demonstration that
could scarcely have failed to interest Newton. 7. A passage Galileo
wrote and particularly a diagram he drew may have been applied by
Newton to a purpose that never occured to Galileo. 8. Whatever
Galileo may have had in mind, the words he published might have
suggested to Newton his question about the apple and the moon.
9. Simon Mayer may have observed the satellites of Jupiter before
Galileo did. 10. There is another passage in the «Dialogue» that must
have intrigued Newton.

      1. It is of interest to inquire whether a radioactive charge should
be classed as chemical in character or not. 2. No fuel would burn in
atmosphere deprived of its oxygen. 3. The early alche-mists searched
for a fluid which would dissolve gold. 4. The chemistry of radium
resembles that of barium as we should expect from the position of
these two elements in the Periodic Table. 5. There are many reactions
which the chemist would like to speed up; there are other reactions
which we should like to retard. 6. Should the anode grow too hot you
must decrease the power of the transmitter. 7. In veiw of the recent
discovery of the positron, one might suspect that these particles are
extremely rare in nature. Such is by no means the case. 8. The purest
natural water is rain. Chemists, however, would hardly consider it
as being really pure. 9. First of all it should be emphasized that atoms
and molecules are infinitely small, so small that it is really impossi-
ble for us to appreciate their masses. 10. The velocities are greatest in
solids, which is what one would expect since their elasticities are
normally higher than those of liquids and gases. 11. In order that a
compound be in the large group of substances termed acids, it must
have the following properties. 12. A gas in the normal state conducts
electricity to a slight extent, however small the electric force may be.
13. Faraday stated as one of the laws of electrolysis that the mass of

                                                                      25
