Страница 239 - Other Worlds than Ours ; The Plurality of Worlds Studied under the Light of Recent Scientific Researches.
Страница 249 - It is about a mile in length, and a quarter of a mile in breadth, but contracts at both ends.
Страница 137 - The seeds of things seem to lie latent in the air, ready to appear and produce their kind, whenever they light on a proper matrix. The extremely small seeds of fern, mosses, mushrooms, and some other plants are concealed and wafted about in the air, every part whereof seems replete with seeds of one kind or other.

Страница 294 - The ordinary gaseous and ordinary liquid states are, in short, only widely separated forms of the same condition of matter, and may be made to pass into one another by a series of gradations so gentle that the passage shall nowhere present any interruption or breach of continuity. From carbonic acid as a perfect gas to carbonic acid as a perfect liquid, the transition we have seen may be accomplished by a continuous process, and the gas and liquid are only distant stages of a long series of continuous...
Страница 239 - PRINCIPLES of MECHANISM, designed for the Use of Students in the Universities, and for Engineering Students generally.
Страница 105 - In the case of an ordinary gaslight the best experiments show that not more than one or two per cent of the radiant energy consists of visible rays, the rest is either invisible heat or actinism ; that is to say, over ninetyeight per cent of the gas is wasted in producing rays that do not help in making objects visible.
