Book excerpt: Excerpt from Constellations and Comets, or Stories From Starland The stars tell it all. Do you see the con stellations swinging above us, such unimagin able vastness, not roving or crashing through the illimitable at haphazard, but moving in more excellent measure and to a finer rhythm than the most delicate clock-work man ever made. The great ocean lines mark our seas with their paths through the water, the fine brains of the earth are behind the ships that sail from port to port, yet how awry the system goes: When does a ship come to harbor at an hour determined when she sailed? What is a ship beside the small est moon of the smallest world? But. Here above us, moons, worlds, suns, all the. Infinite cluster of colossi, move into place to the exactness of a hair at the precise instant. That instant has been planned; it is part of a system, and can a system exist that no mind made? Think of the mind that made this one. Do you believe so incon ceivably majestic an Intelligence as that could be anything but good? Ah, when you wonder, look above you, and you will never doubt that the sparrow's fall could be unmarked. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Download or read book The Stars and Their Stories written by Alice Mary Matlock Griffith and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-04-27 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Stars and Their Stories: A Book for Young People MY purpose here is to interest the child in the stars, which are always with him; to stimulate his imagination; and to direct him in a pastime - the hunting out of the constellations and individual stars - that may become an enduring joy. With the help of the oblong charts and their duplicates, in which Miss Boroughs has placed the animals, he can learn the constellations separately and in groups, with the ancient mythic animals in their places; and by using the round charts at the back of the book, he can see the sky as a whole, as it appears from our Northern Hemi sphere during the different seasons, and trace out the smaller or less important constellations which I have not given. A good way to learn the configurations that form the constellations is to draw them. If the charts are held over the head, with the cardinal points in the proper places, the stars can be seen as they are in the sky; or the same result can be obtained by one who sits facing the south and holds the charts with the north end upwards. If any child has as much pleasure in reading this book as I have had in preparing it, or obtains a broader outlook upon life from its perusal, all my efforts will be fully repaid.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Book of Stars: Being a Simple Explanation of the Stars and Their Uses to Boy Life; Written to Conform to the Tests of the Boy Scouts If you have never stood out in the open and watched the stars on a clear night, you have missed the most wonderful sight to be seen from this little old mud ball of ours, and my advice to you is not to let another night go by without making friends with the stars. By the stars I mean everything in the far-off sky that we can: see, and this includes the white-hot points of light we call the fixed stars, the blazing sun, the bright planets, the pale, cold moon, the fiery comets and the burning meteors. All of these things in the sky are so easily ours to look at, to enjoy and to use, that we are apt not to take them at their true value, just as many of us do not appreciate to the fullest the green grass, the trees, the birds and all the other good things we have without price. You may wonder how you can make any use of the stars, but there are dozens of ways by which they will serve your pur pose, from finding the north to lighting a fire, and from telling the time to sending a signal, and they are all easy to you when you know how. All the apparatus you need so that you can know the stars is a pair of good, sharp eyes, and if you are fitted with these you are ready to begin your work in starcraft this very night.
