Sir Walter Raleigh(2)
Sir Walter Raleigh was a famous man in the days of Queen Elizabeth the first. He traveled widely and learnt to smoke. Then he returned to England, but he did not stop smoking. He used to smoke two pipes every day secretly in his room. When anyone came in, wholesale replica designer handbags, he quickly hid his pipe; but one day, he was not quick enough. Aman came in and found clouds of smoke in the room. More smoke was coming from Raleigh’s mouth, so the man got some water and threw it over Raleigh. He believed that Raleigh was burning. He ran out of the house and told everybody about it.
After this, smoking was not a secret. Raleigh told Queen Elizabeth about it. He added that he could weigh his smoke. She did not believe this, and she adked him to explain.
“first,” he said, “ I shall weigh the tobacco. Then I shall put it in my pipe and smoke it , wholesale designer handbags, then I shall weigh the ashes which remain. I can take them out of the pipe and weigh them on a balance; there will be a great difference between the two weights. The tobacco must be heavier than the adhes. The difference between them must be the weight of the smoke.”
It was a good explanation, but Raleigh was wrong. When anything burns, it needs oxygen. It usually gets the oxygen from the air. When raleigh’s tobacco gunned, wholesale coach handbags, it did this; but the oxygen was not in the tobacco at the beginning. It was added when Raleigh smoked his pipe. So the smoke was heavier than the difference between the two weights. The weight of the oxygen was added.
