Transference Of Force Illustrated.

The following is a familiar instance of the transference of force. The expanding steam communicates its movement to the piston-head. The force that expands the steam is the force that moves the piston. By means of the crank-shaft the straight motion of the piston is converted into circular motion, and through intricate machinery this force is finally transformed into the complex operations of manufacturing devices. But from first to last the force is the force of the vibrating molecules of steam transferred and turned into different forms of activity. The force is the same, of the same intrinsic nature throughout, and of the same degree, variously appearing through simple transference of force. The communication of the activity of a ringing bell to the atmosphere, or of the force of a bat to a ball, and the like, are examples of the transference of force.

What Generation Of Force Is.

The generation of force, though accompanied by both transference and transformation of force, should be distinguished from them. The force of
