corpuscules

• “People say he is always in a hurry, and that's the least of it, hardly expresses the way impatience goes down into his bones, down into the restless iron inside the scrumhappy red flood of red-blood corpuscules, all the very way down into his galumphing great unresting endlessly fitting heart.”

  Impatience

• “He begins with the monera, the organisms of the lowest form, discovered by himself, which have not so much as the organic rank of a cell, but are only corpuscules of mucus, without kernel or external covering, called by him cytod, and arising from an organic carbon formation.”

• “But investigations in the field of radioactivity, largely physical and partly chemical, go to prove that the atom, built up of corpuscules as said above, depends for its atomic weight upon the number of corpuscules in it, and these corpuscules are all identical in nature.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “Corpuscules are supposed to be all like, so that the weight of an atom would depend on how many corpuscules were require to form it.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “These calculations are based on determination of the electric charge of corpuscules.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “Professor Oliver Lodge gives the following comparison: if a church of ordinary size represent an atom, a thousand grains of sand dashing about its interior with enormous velocity would represent its constituent corpuscules.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “The most recent theory holds that the atom is composite, and is built up of still minuter particles, called corpuscules.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “It follows that the only difference between atoms of different elements is in the number corpuscules they contain.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “Thus, assume an atom to consist of a number of corpuscules, not touching each other, negatively electrified so that they repel one another, and held within the limits of the atom by what may be termed a shell of attractive force.”

  The Catholic Encyclopedia, Volume 2: Assizes-Browne

• “Any process which would change the number of corpuscules in the atoms of an element would change the element into another one, thus carrying out the transmutation of elements.”
