Chambers's encyclopaedia; a dictionary of universal knowledge . r, the other where it touches that of (ai)ri-corn. The former is the summer, and the latter isthe winter solstice to those who inhabit northernlatitudes, and i-ice rcrsA.—The term is also em-ployed to signify the iiiiic at which the sun attainsthese two points in its orbit, the 21st of June andabout the 21st December. Solution, the liquefaction of a solid or gasby contact with a liquid, the product being ahomogeneous liquid called a s(dution. Like manyother terms, solution is dillic\ilt of exact defini-tion, cliierty because of the loose manner in whichit is employed. One liquid is said to i/ixsohr. inanother when the solubility is limited ; but whenthey are mutually soluble to any extent they aresaid to be miscihle. Solution depends on thennitual attraction of the molecules of the bodiesconcerned. A distinction is made between simplesolution and chemical solution. The solution ofs;ilt in water is an example of the former; of zincin sulphuric acid, of the latter. In reality there is. 50 OS* 86* 104° 122 140 168* 176 194 iVl -IMV only the one form of solution, though it may bepreceded by chemical action, as in the conveixionof the zinc into sulphate.
