In the next place, the temperature attainable by the gases is over- stated, and that required for melting cast iron ifWfferstated, the most reliable observations, those of Daniel, fixing its melting point at 2, 786. However, the very fact of there being a difference of 600 in the melting point assigned to cast iron, by different observers, shows how unsatisfactory are arguments founded on such theoretical deductions, when compared with the very con- c'asive evidence on the subject lying open before us, in the results attending the use of coal.
