PAGE 184 Inquiry into the interior construction of the earth--_continued_. 185 Density of 8·8 times that of water still too high for the possible compression of the component matter of the earth as known to us. 186 Reasons for this conclusion drawn from crushing strains of materials. 187 A limit to density shown thereby. 188 The greatest density need not exceed 6·24 of water. 189 Gases shut up in the hollow centre. Their weight must so far diminish the conceded maximum of 6·24. 190 Density of inner half of earth at 3000 miles diameter. Greatest density may be less than 5·833 of water. 191 Supposed pressure of inclosed gases very moderate. 193 Meaning of heat limit to density. Temperature of interior half of shell and inclosed gases must be equal. 194 State of the hollow interior. 195 Results of the whole inquiry.
