Rensselaer Semi-Weekly Republican, Volume 20, Number 26, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 2 December 1898 — Lightest of All Liquids. [ARTICLE]

Lightest of All Liquids.

Additional experiments by Professor Dewar have shown that liquid hydrogen is by far the lightest of all known liquids. Its density Is one-fourteenth that of wnter, and, curiously enough, this happens to be the same ratio of density that hydrogen In the gaseous state bears to air. Heretofore the lightest liquid known has been liquefied marsh gas, which possesses about twofifths the density of water.
