Lead the children to see that there seems no limit to the degree of divisibility. Take a lump of coloured matter say common stone- blue. Pound it. Each particle has extension although its exact size cannot be ascertained by ordinary measurement. 2. Take a grain weight of this powder, place it in a pound of water. Stir it up the whole is coloured. Now, as the colour is 318 ELEMENTS OF SCIENCE IN OBJECT LESSONS. due to the presence of the stone -blue there must be some of its particles in every p...ortion of the water. In a pound of water there are 5760 grains. Now, as the one grain of stone-blue put into the water has coloured the whole, every grain weight of water must have its share of the whole, and this share is gJg^yth of a grain. Tell the children that the colour of our blood is due to the presence of red flattened globules floating in a colourless liquid. "When viewed under a microscope these globules can be seen and measured, and it has thus been ascertained that one of these globules is less then g-g^th of an inch in diameter, and a drop of blood, which might be suspended from the point of a needle, would contain about one million of globules.
