alloyed the metal, and he asked Archimedes 
to ascertain if his suspicion was well 
founded. The philosopher, getting into 
his bath, observed that the water ran over, 
and it flashed into his mind that his body 
displaced its own bulk of water. Now, 
suppose Hiero gave the goldsmith 1 lb. of 
gold, and the crown weighed 1 lb., it is 
manifest that if the crown was pure gold, 
both ought to displace the same quantity 
of water; but they did not do so, and 
therefore the gold had been tampered with. 
Archimedes next immersed in water 1 lb. 
of silver, and the difference of water dis- 
placed soon gave the clue to the amount 
of alloy introduced by the artificer. 
  Vitruvius says: "When the idea occurred to 
the pbilosopher, he jumped out of his bath, and 
without waiting to put on his clothes, he ran 
home, exclaiming, 'Heureka ! heureka !"

  Euryd'ice (4 syl.), the wife of Orpheus, 
killed by a serpent on her wedding night. 
 
 
Orpheus went down to Had&s to crave for 
her restoration to life, and Pluto said she 
should follow him to earth provided he 
did not look back. When the poet was 
stepping on the confines of our earth, he 
turned to see if Eurydic6 was following, 
and just caught a glance of her as she was 
snatched back into the shades below.

poem, called Ode on St. Cecilia's Day, 
1709.)
