Gan/gen. But what is there in the air that is so essential to burning? The chemist tells us that it is the oxygen. This gas is present in the-air to the extent of about twenty per cent. If a sam ple of air be taken and the oxygen removed from; it, your paper will not burn; nor will anything else that ordinarily burns in the air. If, on the other hand, you take your burning paper or lighted candle, and thrust it into a jar containing the removed oxygen, the paper or candle will burn with a brilliancy that dazzles the eye.
