426 ON WATEH. Pure alumina has a similar affinity for water, and the union is so intimate that it is almost impossible ever to separate the water with which it has been united. Saussure, who made experiments on this subject, declares that this earth has so powerful an at- traction for water, that it will retain a tenth of its weight of that fluid, even though it be submitted to a heat that will fuse iron. Potash after having been submitted to a red heat is found to retain more than 13 per cent.... , and soda nearly 19 per cent. , of water. According to the analysis of D' Arcet, the proportion of water is even greater than this. Annales de Chimie 9 torn. Ixxii. P. 96. And Ixviii. P. 175. Seeing then that water has so great an affinity for many bodies, and that it imparts transparency to one and hardness to another, it is surely worth while to examine whether it may not fulfil an important office in some mechanical and manufacturing pro- cesses in which its operation has been least suspected.
