Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Nature of Animal Light Bioluminescence, the production of light by animals and plants, has always excited the admiration of the layman and the wonder of the scientist. It is not surprising that an enormous literature dealing with the subject has grown up. A large part of this literature, however, is made up merely of reports that a certain animal is luminous, or records of especially brilliant phosphorescence of the sea. Among those who have inquired somewhat more carefully into the nature and causes of light production may be mentioned the names of Beijerinck, R. Boyle, Dahlgren, Dubois, Ehrenberg, Krukenberg, Mangold, McDermott, Molisch, Panceri, Pfluger, Phipson, Quatre-fages, Spallanzani, and Trojan. Several of these men have written comprehensive monographs on the subject. It is not the purpose of this book to deal with every phase of bioluminescence. Volumes could be written on the evolutionary side of the problem and the structure and uses of luminous organs. These questions can only be touched upon. Neither is it my purpose to discuss the ultimate cause of the light, whether due to vibration of electrons or to other causes. That problem must be left to the physicist, although it is highly probable that a study of animal light will give important information regarding the nature of light in general, and no theory of light can be adequate which fails to take into account the extraordinary powers of luminous animals.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Analysis of Light: A Force of Nature The forces of nature, so called, are all alike and are really but one force. The seeming variations produced are the direct result of the manner in which this force is applied upon inert matter, the elements and different bodies. This same force, acting in conjunction with cer tain elements, will produce and impress upon the visual nerves that which is called Light, while this very same force, acting upon other gaseous matters, will impart the sensation of sound motion, or give the impression of heat. The difference in the manifestations of these results is due entirely to the nature of the elements upon which and the manner in which the energy is applied. The force, however, is one and the same. This being so, whenever energy is applied, one or more of these results must become manifest. Frequently, light, sound, heat and motion will jointly result from the same exertion of energy, as is illustrated by the discharge of a fire-arm. It is this same invisible force which rotates the earth, moves the ocean and the atmosphere, creates the seasons, provides those elements which are essential to the continuance of life, and gives life itself to the animals and the vegetable kingdom. A complete understanding of this universal force will be necessary before satisfactory knowledge of its various phenomena can be obtained. Light is the result of energy, and as such is conveyed across space and felt upon the visual nerves. It is a force which can be measured and accounted for in every respect. There can be no imaginary waves of rarefied and condensed air vibrating themselves into Space by a sort of perpetual motion movement, nor can we have any corpuscles of light passing through an imaginary ethereal medium, there is no cause or reason for the same. Light is always a chemical action, while sound is a mechanical operation and heat the result of molecular resistance. We thus have the principal differences between the three forces. Therefore, when ever energy is applied and these three actions, the chemical, the mechanical and the molecular, occur together, the result will be light, sound and heat.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Greek Prose Composition Part I contains, in graded lessons, the principal points of Greek syntax, the unusual and non-essential being purposely omitted. These lessons are designed for use at the beginning of the second year's study of Greek, thereby serving as a partial review of the first year's work and as an introduction to the composition work in connection with the reading of Xenophon's Anabasis. Part II contains short, simple English sentences, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. These should be used daily in connection with the reading of the text. Part III contains connected English prose, based on Books I - IV of the Anabasis. This is carefully graded, so that the stu dent who performs faithfully the work outlined here will be able to pass the entrance examination of any of the American colleges. The method of writing Greek at sight used in this book needs a word of explanation. It is the outgrowth of the author's personal experience in the classroom, and his belief that the best results can be obtained only by systematic practice in connection with the regular work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Natural History of Animals, Vol. 7: The Animal Life of the World in Its Various Aspects and Relations Any change in the surroundings which brings the sensitive ness of an organism into play is technically known as a stimulus (l. Slz'mulus, an ox-goad), and stimuli may broadly be classified as mechanical, chemical, thermal, photic, and electrical. The corresponding stimulating agents are pressure, change in chemi cal nature of the surroundings, heat, light, and electricity, which are scientifically defined as different forms of energy, or, to use the old expression, force Protoplasm, like every other kind of matter, may be regarded as made up of excessively minute particles or molecules, much too small to be seen with even the most powerful microscope, which are in a state of constant vibration, throbbing, or to-and-fro movement. The pendulum affords a simple example of vibratory movement. It may further be said that every sort of stimulus is of the nature of a vibra tion, eg. In a sound-wave transmitted through air the particles of air move in a particular way and at a rate depending upon the pitch of the sound. All the changes that take place in living matter result from modifications in the movement of its molecules, but we are profoundly ignorant of What exactly takes place when, say, a muscle-fibre contracts or an impulse passes along a nerve. The adjustment to surroundings that is necessary for the maintenance of life results from these molecular changes in the body, which take place in response to the action of pressure, heat, light, &c., these themselves being of a Vibratory nature, as has already been stated. So far as an animal is sensitive to its surroundings it is comparable to a complex musical instrument capable of playing all sorts of tunes With all kinds of variations, in response to external influences of different kind. The reaction of an animal to its environment at any given moment depends upon how external agents are acting upon it at that moment: it is they which call the tune. If the supposed musical instrument could also play tunes of its own accord, independently of the direct action of the surround ings, such tunes might be taken to represent the spontaneous actions of an animal.
