Página 172 - Chair during the past year, and for his Address, and that he be requested to allow it to be printed in the Quarterly Journal of the Society.
Página 248 - Pale, colourless, and noiseless, but perfectly sharp and defined, except where it was lost in the clouds, this unearthly apparition seemed like a vision from another world; and, almost appalled, we watched with amazement the gradual development of two vast crosses, one on either side. If the Taugwalders had not been the first to perceive it, I should have doubted my senses. They thought it had some connection with the accident, and I, after a while, that it might bear some relation to ourselves....
Página 248 - Zermatt, and all peril was over. We frequently looked, but in vain, for traces of our unfortunate companions ; we bent over the ridge and cried to them, but no sound returned. Convinced at last that they were neither within sight nor hearing, we ceased from our useless efforts ; and, too cast down for speech, silently gathered up our things, and the little effects of those who were lost, preparatory to continuing the descent.
Página 251 - Leclanche galvanic battery. The instrument is read by depressing a key which causes the needle of the galvanometer to deflect ; a pointer or vernier (moving a contact roller upon a wire in a circular groove) is then pushed to the right or to the left upon a divided scale until the needle remains stationary on the zero point, when the electrical resistance of the wire is measured upon the scale. The number indicated by the vernier is then read off, and by referring to a table of equivalents the actual...
Página 216 - THIS Table, and the accompanying Remarks, are the result of many years' actual observation ; the whole being constructed on a due consideration of the attraction of the Sun and Moon in their several positions respecting the earth ; and will, by simple inspection, show the observer what kind of...
Página 239 - I might see the de'il's profile properly defined in the cloud. It was capital! His nose was about half a yard long, and his face at least three yards; and then he was gaping and laughing so that one would have thought he might have swallowed the biggest man in the country. It was quite a scene of enchantment. I could not leave it. On going five or six steps onward it vanished; but on returning to the same spot, there he stood, and I could make him make a fool of himself as much as I liked; but always...
Página 239 - ... bathed yellow sheen, looking like golden islands in a sea of silver. After one ascends through the mist to within a certain distance of the sunshine, a halo of glory is thrown round his head — something like a rainbow, but brighter and paler. It is upright or slanting as the sun is lower or higher, but it uniformly attends one for a considerable space before he reaches the sunshine. One morning, at the time when I was about nineteen years of age, I was ascending a hillside towards...
Página 245 - It was during such periods that I had several opportunities of witnessing that singular phenomenon, the circular rainbow, which, from its rareness, is spoken of as a possible occurrence only. The stratum of fog from the Konkun on some occasions rose somewhat above the level of the top of a precipice forming the north-west scarp of the hill-fort of Hurreechundurghur, from 2,000 to 3,000 feet perpendicular, without coming over upon the table-land.
Página 291 - Vice-President, 2 years as President, and in all 17 years as Secretary, altogether 28 years of official work. Dr. Tripe has always taken an active part in all schemes for rendering the Society more generally useful. He advocated the establishment of Climatological Stations, at which, with small tax to the observer, valuable information is obtained, and it was a suggestion of his that led to the institution of those Annual Exhibitions which have of late years proved so interesting a feature of the...
Página 239 - I felt very ill at ease; but next morning, being obliged to go past the same spot at the same hour, I resolved to exert, if possible, a little more courage, and put the phenomenon fairly to the proof. The fog was more dense than on the preceding morning, and when the sun arose his brilliancy and fervour were more bright above. The lovely halo was thrown around me, and at length I reached the haunted spot without diverging a step from my usual little footpath; and at the very place there arose the...
