Стр. 179 - ... the loveliness of creation ; it leads the mind, as well as the eye, to the morning mist, and the noonday glory, and the twilight cloud, to the purple peace of the mountain heaven, to the cloudy repose of the green valley ; now expatiating in the silence of stormless ether, now on the rushing wings of the wind.
Стр. 31 - Wild plants came into flower in advance of their usual dates until about the middle of April, after which time they were as a rule to about the same extent late. Such early spring immigrants as the' swallow, cuckoo, and nightingale reached these islands somewhat behind their average date«.
Стр. 228 - This storm shows some very curious and interesting features, in the remarkable violence of the wind, rain and hail, within a small area, and the suddenness with which it burst. There was an area of thunderstorms over the whole of the south of England on the evening of that day. The most violent storm, however, burst over Grayshott on Hindhead at 8.20, and pursued a narrow track through Godalming and Guildford to Ripley, б miles north-east of Guildford.
Стр. 233 - PM, and the amount of cloud at the time, and during the fore part of the night if convenient The dewpoint can be found by reference to hygrometrical tables. When the dew-point is at or below 32° frost is in evidence, but may be evanescent, due to a rise of temperature, with change of wind, rain, or overcast sky. Even when it is above 32°, if the sky is...
Стр. 215 - MA [Read November 20, 1907.] I.— THE REGISTERING BALLOON ASCENTS IN ENGLAND OF JULY 22-27, 1907, PRELIMINARY ACCOUNT. BY WH DINES, FRS THE International Aeronautical Commission has for many years past set apart the first Thursday in each month for the ascent of kites and balloons ; but at the Conference held at Milan last year, it was decided to make a special effort to obtain information on a series of consecutive days, and the last week in July was finally decided upon for the purpose. It is...
Стр. 52 - ... centuries. The flying machine has come, and it has come to stay. Years ago, people argued that it was impossible to lift in the air that which was far heavier than the air. But the advocates of the cause pointed to the birds, and there was no gainsaying that the thing was possible. Then the pessimists cried that it would not be possible to balance the apparatus without the intelligence of a bird, but models were made, finally so good as to fly for threequarters of a mile. Then men took to gliding...
Стр. 179 - ... aether — now on the rushing of the wings of the wind. It is indeed a knowledge which must be felt to be, in its very essence, full of the soul of the beautiful.
Стр. 179 - ... interest, it is universal; unabated in every place, and in all time. He, whose kingdom is the heaven, can never meet with an uninteresting space, — can never exhaust the phenomena of an hour ; he is in a realm of perpetual change, — of eternal motion, — of infinite mystery. Light and darkness, and cold and heat, are to him as friends of familiar countenance, but of infinite variety of conversation ; and while the geologist yearns for the mountain, the botanist for the field, and the mathematician...
Стр. 52 - ... miles. Kites of a much larger dimension have also come into use during the last few years. At Aldershot they have been regularly introduced into the service. Men were first lifted by this means in 1895, in which year the lecturer made a number of ascents up to 100 feet high, but improvements have gradually followed until now men have actually gone up to a height of...
Стр. 173 - Under moderate electrical influence there is no material change in the resolution into drops, nor in the subsequent motion of the drops up to the moment of collision. The difference begins here. Instead of rebounding after collision, as the unelectrified drops of clean water generally or always do, the electrified drops coalesce, and thus the jet is no longer scattered about. When the electrical influence is more powerful, the repulsion between the drops is sufficient to prevent actual contact, and...
