shores in a state of saturation. Great part of the vapour is there at once precipitated, and the temperature of the climate raised by the evolution of its latent heat. XV. A wind generally sets from the sea to the land during the day, and from the land to the sea during the night, especially in hot climates. The land and sea-breezes are amongst the most constant of the phenomena of the inconstant subject with which we are occupied. The land becomes much more heated by the action of the sun's rays

different manner, and I conceive that the fact is much more reconcileable to the mechanical than to the chemical theory. If we suppose a consumption of the oxygen to take place, by the decomposition of the atmosphere, at any given spot, in what way is chemical affinity to act to restore the uniformity of the compound? No evolution of oxygen takes place, and it cannot be supplied by the surrounding portions; for the affinity of nitrogen for oxygen can never be supplied by the decomposition of

The second is an elastic fluid, condensible by cold with evolution of caloric; increasing in force in geometrical progression with equal augmentations of temperature; permeating the former and moving in its interstices, as a spring of water flows through a sand-rock. When in a state of motion this intestine filtration is redarded by the inertia of the gaseous medium, but in a state of rest the particles press only

together, we shot rapidly up the river, threading our way, as it were, through the woods, which stood dark and still, like two vast black walls along the banks of the stream. Men were placed by the anchor; and all hands were at their stations, ready, at an instant's warning, to perform any evolution; not a word was spoken, except when the pilot addressed the helmsman, and received his reply not the least sound was heard but the plash of the sounding lead, and the dripping of the dew from the

that is to say he proleptically accepted the modern doctrine of evolution; and his successors might do well to follow their leader, or at any rate to attend to his weighty reasonings — and abstain from nourishing an antagonism which has no logical foundation. Having got rid the belief in chance* the disbelief in design as in no sense appurtenances of Evolution, the third libel upon that doctrine, that is in antitheistic, might perhaps be left to shift for itself. But the persistence with which

germ to its full size. Therefore evolution, in the strictest sense is actually going on, in this and analogous cases, in millions millions of cases wherever living creations exist. Therefore to borrow an argument from Butler as that which use happens must be consistent with the attributes of the Deity if such a Being exists, Evolution must be consistent with those attributes. And, if so, the evolution of the Universe, being neither more nor less explicable than that of a chicken, must also be

This proposition is that the whole world living not living in the is the result of the mutual interaction, according to definite laws, of the forces* possessed by the molecules of which the primitive nebulosity * I should now like to substitute the word powers for 'forces' [81

Let a + b be the quantity to be raised to any power. If b be negative, or the quantity to be involved be a - b, wherever an odd power of b enters, the sign of the term must be negative (Art. 114.) Hence, (118.) Evolution, or the extraction of roots, is the method of determining a quantity which raised to a proposed power will produce a given quantity. (119.) Since the nth power of am is amn, the nth root of amn must be am; i. e. to extract any root of a single quantity, we must divide the

By involution, where the odd terms involve the same surd that x does, because c is an odd number, and the even terms, the same surd that y does; and since no part of a can consist of y, or it's parts (Art. 255), and b = hence, a - b = xc - therefore, by evolution, (258.)The square root of a binomial, one of whose factors is a quadratic surd, and the other rational, may sometimes be expressed by a binomial, one or both of whose factors are quadratic surds.

Thus, ON INVOLUTION AND EVOLUTION. (113.) If a quantity be continually multiplied by itself, it is said to be involved, or raised; and the power to which it is raised, is expressed by the number of times the quantity has been employed in the multiplication.

In this instance there evidently exists within and below the cone of Stromboli, a mass of lava, of unknown dimensions, permanently liquid, at an intense

neighbouring rocks are, from the continued shifting of the fumaroles, extensive and remarkable, and have acquired for such spots the common appellation of Solfataras or Souffri res. These usually are found in the interior of a volcanic crater, as might be expected; since the evolution of vapours from a current of lava that has flowed away from the volcanic vent upon the surface of the earth, must be extremely limited in quantity and duration; whereas, after most eruptions, a vast body of heated

It is obvious, that all these exhibitions may be resolved into chemical changes, and that the change of volume either way does not influence the evolution of light. Generally, the accompaniment of light may be considered dependent on that chemical process we call combustion, as in the light from potassium heated in a medium of the vapour of iodine.

Now if water were at any time admitted to them whilst in that condition, we know from the common principles of chemistry, that a great evolution of gaseous matter must take place, and that the combination of the oxygen of the water with these inflammables would give rise to heat, sufficient to account for the liquefaction of the surrounding rocks, and all the other ph nomena attendant on an eruption. Such being the opinions respecting volcanos, which appear, at first sight, to possess the

this, by some more recent experiments, would seem to be the consequence of silicious matter being present. When balls of oxygen are broken in vacuo, and the separated elements expand in the explosion of chloride and iodide of azote; and also when we expose nitrate of ammonia to a specific temperature, it is decomposed with the evolution of a beautifully coloured flame at the close, too, of the obtainment of nitrous oxyde from the nitrate of ammonia, when the temperature is raised above 500

The fact of the gradual and not instantaneous evolution of the light, and the gradual eclipse it suffers, seem to refer the phenomenon to the volition of the insect the intervention of a shade or contraction of the fibres on which the luminous points are suspended, or to which they are attached, would account for the occasional occultation of the light.
