1. Ordinary air is about 20 parts
oxygen gas, 80 parts nitrogen gas;
also contains small amounts of oth
er gases and more or less moisture,
These gases are not chemically
combined, but simply mixed to-
gether—as distinct as lo many
grains of wheat arid co n mingled
together in a measure.
The oxygen is essential to com
bustion, also absolutely necessary
to sustain life. The prin-cipal func
tion of the other gas (nitrogen)
seems to be to dilute the oxygen,
which would otherwise be too
strong.
2, As We rise in a balloon or
airplane or climb a ■mountainside,
the air constantly gets thinner,
Half the air is within four miles
of the earth, At 20 miles the air
is 100 times thinner than at sea
level. Small 1 balloons containing

ments have reached 30 miles. We
