עמוד 69 - Physiognomy is the science or knowledge of the correspondence between the external and internal man — the visible superficies and invisible contents. It is, properly so called, the observation of character at rest, which is displayed in the form and appearance of the movable parts while at rest. Character impassioned is manifested by the movable parts in motion.
עמוד 92 - These appearances, which are hero denominated 'ancient garden-beds/ indicate an earlier and more perfect system of cultivation than that which now prevails; for the present Indians do not appear to possess the ideas of taste and order necessary to enable them to arrange objects in consecutive rows. Traces of this kind of cultivation, though not very abundant, are found in several other parts of the State (Wisconsin).
עמוד 65 - QUANTITIES, AND THE RATIOS OF QUANTITIES, WHICH IN ANY FINITE TIME CONVERGE CONTINUALLY TO EQUALITY, AND BEFORE THE END OF THAT TIME APPROACH NEARER THE ONE TO THE OTHER THAN BY ANY GIVEN DIFFERENCE, BECOME ULTIMATELY EQUAL.
עמוד 119 - The chinch-bug seemed to have been very generally exterminated in Kansas in 1889, and only three applications for diseased bugs were received in 1890 up to the middle of July. On account of the limited amount of infection material on hand, I required each applicant to send me a box of live bugs, which I placed in the infection jars, returning in a few days a portion of the sick bugs to the sender. The three applicants above noted reported the complete success of the experiments. I give the following...
עמוד 49 - Lawrence, shows that the most notable meteorological features' of the year 1889 were the remarkable absence of extremes of heat and cold, resulting in a very mild winter and a...
עמוד 49 - The entire rainfall, including melted snow, was 43.99 inches, which is 8.89 inches above the annual average. Either rain or snow, or both, in measurable quantities, fell on eighty-one days — twenty-one less than the average. On eleven other days rain or snow fell in quantity too small for measurement. The rain of the night of the 12th of August measured 5.68 inches, which surpasses any previous single rainfall on our record, the next to it being the 4 inches of June 13, 1876.
עמוד 122 - The following is a summary of the results of the field experiments in the season of 1890: Number of boxes of diseased bugs sent out, thirty-eight. Seven of these lots were either not received or received and not used. Reports were received from twenty-six of the thirty-one remaining cases. Of these, twenty-six reports three were unfavorable, nineteen favorable, and four doubtful concerning the success of the experiment. These doubtful cases are not to be looked upon as unfavorable, but more evidence...
עמוד 66 - Finite particles are not moments, but the very quantities generated by the moments. We are to conceive them as the just nascent principles of finite magnitudes.
עמוד 66 - ... proportionals. Quantities of this kind are products, quotients, roots, rectangles, squares, cubes, square and cubic sides, and the like. These quantities I here consider as variable and indetermined, and increasing or decreasing, as it were, by a...
עמוד 68 - Lavater's opinion,' says Cowper, ' and persuaded that faces are as legible as books, only with these circumstances to recommend them to our perusal, that they are read in much less time, and are much less likely to deceive us : in fact, I cannot recollect that my skill in physiognomy has ever deceived me.' Southey was accustomed to assert the same thing. If the power to which Cowper and Southey laid claim really existed, and there is no reason to doubt it, it does of itself prove the point. It is...
