the ordinary process of boiling. Aswe ascend to elevated regions in the air, the atmospher-ic pressure becomes less, because the column of air aboveis shorter, and therefore there is less air to press. Un-der such circumstances, the boiling point of water, ofcourse, descends, and may become so low… … THE SPHEROIDAL STATE. 57 about the specific change required in the cooking ofmeat. An ascent of 596 feet lowers the boiling pointone degree. Upon this principle we can determine thealtitude of accessible elevations, by determining thethermometric point at which water boils upon them.A peculiar…
