Cut flowers also decompose water, and produce oxygen gas.

Joe had detonated the oxygen tank to make it look as if some cargo had ignited and destroyed the ship.

When any alcohol is present in the circulation, its greed for water induces the absorption of moisture from the red globules of the blood, the oxygen-carriers.

The soda in a quite pure state is eliminated from the soda saltpetre, and will serve for the manufactures of glass and soap; while the potash, taking the oxygen compound of the soda saltpetre, produces, as a final result, a pure and beautiful prismatic saltpetre, most economically and abundantly.

Various theories about the effects of climate, sunlight per square inch and unit of time, oxygen content of the air, and so on, were offered up upon the altar of scientific explanation.

The blood is borne by each pulsation of the heart to the air-cells of the lungs for vitalization by means of the oxygen inhaledthe only portion of the air used by the lungsgiving it a constantly renewing power to energize the whole man.

The first rose-tints of the sun were creeping over the mountain-tops; the air was filled with the sweetness of flowers, and dew, and growing things, and his lungs drew in deep breaths of oxygen laden with the tonic and perfume of balsam.

Now, a molecule of oxygen or nitrogen, according to modern science, is a mass 1/250000000 of an inch in diameter, and an oxygen molecule has been calculated to weigh 0.0000000054044 ounce.

Like calumny, which blackens whatsoever is suspected, oxygen pounces upon the failing and completes their ruin.

CHAPTER VII A STRANGE PEOPLE Ten hours after the start of the submarine, Dave Tower's eye anxiously watched the dial which indicated a rapidly lessening supply of oxygen, while his keenly appraising mind measured time in terms of oxygen supply.

A simplified device has lately rendered it practicable to make actual determinations by a few five-minute readings of the rate of oxygen absorption by the lungs.

An oxygen tube crossed her face below her nose.

The aquarium must be built up slowly and tentatively, object by object: plants first, and of the simplest kinds; and not until they are well settled, and the water beaded with oxygen bubbles, should we think of introducing living creatures,and even then only the hardier kinds of actinias, mollusks, and crabs.
