Seite 140 - ... its dissipation is not instantaneous. The tail leans towards that portion of space last quitted by the comet, a general fact of observation being thus accounted for. " 6. In the struggle for mastery of the two classes of rays a temporary advantage, owing to variations of density or some other cause, may be gained by the actinic rays even in parts of the cometary atmosphere which are unscreened by the nucleus. Occasional lateral streamers, and the apparent emission of feeble tails towards the...
Seite 77 - ... practice which is incompatible with the avowed objects of the present work, may yet find their account in its perusal, — for this reason, that it is always of advantage to present any given body of knowledge to the mind in as great a variety of different lights as possible.
Seite 193 - Hast thou seen this, O son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence and have returned to provoke me to anger; and lo, they put the branch to their nose.
Seite 63 - Offered every third year by the Cambridge Philosophical Society for the best original memoir, invention, or discovery in connexion with Mathematico- Physical or Mathematico-Experimental Science that may have been published during the three years immediately preceding.
Seite 330 - Probably, therefore, when we take into account the intermediate condition of viscosity, we need not assume the breaking up and sinking of a crust formed over a molten globe. This view is supported by what Mr. Scrope tells us about a lava stream remaining liquid, and even more or less in motion in, its central and lower portion for years.1 Indeed, Sir W. Thomson is careful not to exclude as impossible "the case of a liquid globe gradually solidifying from without inwards, in consequence of heat conducted...
Seite 64 - Society, nominated by the Council of the Society for each occasion. 6. That, in the event of any difficulty arising in carrying out the above provisions in any particular instance, either from lack of a prize-subject of sufficient merit, or from any other cause, the Council of the Cambridge Philosophical Society be at liberty to carry over the amount of the Prize for that term towards augmenting the fund for future prizes, or to award it to some one not a member of the University. Award of the Hopkins...
Seite 106 - At the hour appointed the following were elected officers of the Society for the ensuing year : President — Dr.
Seite 139 - The amazing rapidity of the developments of the tail would thus be accounted for without invoking the incredible motion of translation hitherto assumed. " 3. As the comet wheels round its perihelion, the tail is not composed throughout of the same matter, but of new matter precipitated on the solar beams, which cross the cometary atmosphere in new directions. The enormous whirling of the tail is thus accounted for without invoking a motion of translation. "4. The tail is always turned from the sun...
Seite 158 - That small portions of space are in fact of a nature analogous to little hills on a surface which is on the average flat; namely, that the ordinary laws of geometry are not valid in them. (2) That this property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave. (3) That this variation of the curvature of space is what really happens in that phenomenon which we call the motion of matter, whether ponderable or ethereal. (4) That...
Seite 158 - I hold in fact (1) That small portions of space are in fact of a nature analogous to little hills on a surface which is on the average fiat; namely, that the ordinary laws of geometry are not valid in them. (2) That this property of being curved or distorted is continually being passed on from one portion of space to another after the manner of a wave.
