2089Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents?
2089Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance?
2089But probably the best answer to those who talk of Darwinism meaning the reign of"chance,"is to ask them what they themselves understand by"chance"?
2089Do they believe that anything in this universe happens without reason or without a cause?
2089Or are the species so created produced without parents?
2089Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?...

34848What is the meaning of predation?
2925Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties?
2925But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals?
2925But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature?
2925Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock?
2925Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species?
2925Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature?
2925Now, what is the result of all this?
2925The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock?
2925What will be the result, then?
2925What, then, takes place?
2925is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature?

16136Did things so happen or did they not?
16136Now that we have arrived at the origin of this word"Biology,"the next point to consider is: What ground does it cover?
16136The great issue, about which hangs a true sublimity, and the terror of overhanging fate, is what are you going to do with all these things?
16136To this my reply is, Why should I, when that statement was made seven years ago?
16136What has become of the bones of all these animals?
16136What is the object of medical education?

23742Oh uncle,cried Charley,"what wonderful and nice things you have told me?
23742Oh yes, yes, dear uncle, why did n''t I think of that?

2926But has this been done?
2926But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature?
2926But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result?
2926In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature?
2926So what is the use of what you have done?"
2926What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis?
2926What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is?
2926What is this very speech that we are talking about?
2926What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification?
2926or what is really the state of the case?
2929But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature?
2929Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter?
2929Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection?
2929Is there any test of a physiological species?
2929Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain?
2929Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences?
2929What if species should offer residual phenomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection?
2929What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular?
2929that none of the phenomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way?
2929that there is such a thing as natural selection?
39396What is the meaning of predation?

21111But what was to be done with her?
21111Did he ever think of his tropical forest home, I wondered, and wish himself in happier surroundings?
21111Did you see that snake?
21111Do you see that hole about forty feet up the stem of the beech opposite?
21111Does she understand?
21111How could I watch the process of incubation?
21111I have often been consulted by some sweet, impulsive child about its"pet robin"or"dear little swallow,"as to why it did not seem to eat or feel happy?
21111I was asked"if it was a very rare bird?"
21111Nothing stirred my indignation more keenly than the question so often asked,"Have you had your starling''s tongue slit to make him talk so well?"
21111The bell was rung, the servants came in, and whispered consultations were held as to what could be done, and"What would mistress say?"
20934Forte puer, comitum seductus ab agmine fido, Dixerat, ecquis adest? 20934 Say, what impels, amidst surrounding snow Congeal''d, the crocus, flamy bud to glow?
20934Can this difference be accounted for from evaporation alone, which certainly is more prevalent in bottoms?
20934Do these different dates, in such distant districts, prove anything for or against migration?
20934Now, if they pursue the sun into lower latitudes, as some suppose, in order to enjoy a perpetual summer, why do they not return bleached?
20934Say, what retards, amidst the summer''s blaze, Th''autumnal bulb, till pale, declining days?
20934Were they watery particles of the air frozen as they floated, or were they evaporations from the snow frozen as they mounted?
19922By design manifested in special creation, or by descent with adaptive modification?
19922How are we to explain this?
19922In the first place, why is it that some structures are selected as typical and not others?
19922Now, in this struggle for existence, which individuals will be victorious and live?
19922Now, looking at those two features alone, should we say that a porpoise ought to be classed as a fish or as a mammal?
19922The question, therefore, is-- How are they to be accounted for?
19922What, then, is the inference we are to draw from it?
19922Why is this?

18249Does he not question us, teach us?
18249Does he not still live among us?
18249Does he try to let his lady dear know that he is near her through the darkness, or is he happily singing in his dreams?

18249If the dirt road is paved, how shall the yellow- hammers have their sand- baths in the evening, while the half grown rabbits frisk around them?
18249Is the bee more sentient than the flower?
18249Shall man, with the civilization of untold centuries at his back to push him on, do less?
18249Summer days are long and joyous, life stretches out before them; why waste its hours with frets and fears about the future?
18249There is so much beauty all around us, every day of the year, shall we not sometimes lift our eyes to behold it?

31250Since earliest light he has been tracking up the woods in his hunt for breakfast, but who sees him do it?
31250What are springs and water falls?
31250Who can forget the soothing chirp of crickets in the grass at his feet by night?
31250Who would stop for water in his ear or a pain in the lobe of it?
31250Whoever remembers the quality of noises he hears by day in the city, however great the uproar?

14558But if what lies below the horse''s''knee''thus corresponds to the middle finger in ourselves, what has become of the four other fingers or digits?
14558But is this the case?
14558Do young birds pursue and capture these distasteful butterflies till they have learned by bitter experience what species to avoid?
14558Is he developed in a different way from other mammals, as we should certainly expect if he has had a distinct and altogether different origin?

414So, too, the summer days; the sun rises on the same grasses and green hedges, there is the same blue sky, but did we ever have enough of them?
33862How,he says,"can we help searching for the cause of such wonderful results?
33862Are we not compelled to admit that nature has produced successively bodies endowed with life, proceeding from the simplest to the most complex?"
33862Do we ask our questions of Nature amiss, or do we not read her answers aright?"
33862He writes:"What would vegetable life be without excitations from without, what would be the life even of the lower animals without this cause?"
33862Is it possible to doubt that the simple conditions which produce an osmotic growth have frequently been realized during the past ages of the earth?
33862Max Verworn exclaims,"Are we on a false track?
33862What part has osmotic growth played in the evolution of living forms, and what traces of its action may we hope to find to- day?

20448How could these eggs long escape the prowling foxes, skunks, coons, the sharp- eyed crows, the searching mice and squirrels?
20448How did he know there was some one so near?
20448If man is of animal origin, as we are now all coming to believe, how could this be otherwise?
20448Is it at times a parasitical bird, dropping its eggs into other birds''nests?
20448Is it dangerous?
20448Or is the dog trying to punish the stick or stone because it will not roll or fly for him?
20448Or is there some suggestion of the hawk about our species as well as about the European?
20448The wren, so far as I know, is entirely an insect- feeder, and where can he find insects in midwinter in our climate?
20448Therefore, what could be a more fit place to thresh out dry philosophical subjects than a barn floor?
20448They were such days as these that the poet Lowell had in mind when he exclaimed,"What is so rare as a day in June?"
20448Was it all for her benefit, or inspired by her presence?
20448What should he do now?
20448Why do other birds, the robin for instance, often make war upon the cuckoo, chasing it from the vicinity of their nests?

40701What happens when we put half- a- dozen gold fish into a globe?
40249And is it impossible that children might be taught to find pleasure in watching, and not, as seems generally the case now, in destroying life?
40249But what was the use of catching them?
40249Could they have been crossbills?"
40249Does his quick sight detect some slight movement, or his quick ear some slight sound?
40249How does he do it?
40249May we suppose that solitary birds like this at Arley are waiting in readiness for such an emergency?
40249Or has he any other sense of smell or sensation that helps him?
40249Or is such a bird simply one that, being old and cantankerous, is bored by female society, or feels himself unequal to the cares of a family?
40249The double- flowered varieties of most plants are, as a rule, more difficult than the ordinary single, but a little potentilla("reptans"?)
30429But here the question arises, can it be manifested inwardly without such a transformation of energy?
30429Can we longer refuse to believe that even thought force is in some mysterious way correlated to the other natural forces?
30429God is infinite, and therefore includes nature; but is nature all?
30429In absence of antecedents, what was the cause of this fire- mist-- of these forces active in it?
30429Is it possible, then, that the protoplasm which produces the mould is exactly the same composition as that which produces the human child?
30429O death, where is thy sting?
30429O grave, where is thy victory?"
30429Or is the evolution of thought entirely independent of the matter of the brain?
30429Returning now to our protoplasm, let us ask the question: Where did it come from?
30429The question naturally arises, is there any explanation for the loss of hair covering?
30429WAS MAN CREATED?
30429What will be the result of this?
30429What, then, has science demonstrated?
30429What, then, is a true conscience?
30429[ 48]"Can we longer doubt,"says Barker,[49]"that the brain too, is a machine for the conversion of energy?
30429_ Does it contain any experimental reasoning concerning matter of fact and existence?_ No.
30429and,_ à fortiori_, between all four?
30429or, How did it come into existence?
18521But how is this to be proved?
18521But the perplexing inquiry is, whence did the successive grades of animals emerge?
18521Does not this savour of a vain research, or of a laudable thirst for knowledge?
18521Does the author recoil from his work?
18521How after wards came this unformed mass to be like our earth, to be covered with motion and organization, with life and general felicity?
18521How different are the species of the red cabbage and the cauliflower; who would have expected them to be varieties of the wild_ brassica oleracea_?
18521Is it a geological fact, since life began, that the earth has_ simultaneously_ undergone throughout its entire surface the revolutions assigned to it?
18521It might be as reasonably asked, whence did the lower classes come?
18521Now the great question arises-- whence, by what power, or by what law, were these reiterated transitions brought about?

18521Suppose a planet formed by the author''s process, what kind of a body would it be?
18521Then says Reason, if they occur in orchidaceous plants, why should they not also occur in corn plants?
18521To the allusion in the last sentence there can be no demur; that there is"natural order or law"in creation who will contest?
18521Were the organized species of one geological epoch, by some long- continued agency of natural causes, transmuted into other and succeeding species?
18521What was its pre- existing state?
18521What, for instance, with the remotest semblance of certainty, can be predicated of the stellar orbs?
18521or were there an extinction of species, and a replacement of them by others, through special and miraculous acts of creation?
18521or, if that be answered, how or whence was that preceding state educed, for it, too, must have had one prior to it?

30701Have you not reached the old conclusion in a roundabout way?
30701If it can not produce anything new, is there any other way in which selection becomes an agent in evolution?
30701If then selection does not bring about transgressive variation in a general population, how can selection produce anything new?
30701Is it not rather an empty generalization to say that any kind of change is a process of evolution?
30701Is it not then more probable that the mammal and bird possess this stage in their development simply because it has never been lost?
30701Is it not_ a priori_ probable that factors do fluctuate?
30701May not a factor itself fluctuate?
30701The question still remains: Does selection play any rôle in evolution, and, if so, in what sense?
30701What advantage, may be asked, is there in obtaining numerical data of this kind?
30701What has the evolution of the stars, of the horse and of human inventions in common?

20933Had he known European swallows, would he not have mentioned the species?
20933If they do not, how are they supported?
20933Is it because rooks have a more discerning scent than their attendants, and can lead them to spots more productive of food?
20933Is not their hum ventriloquous like that of the turkey?

1043Are we evolving to- day?
1043But how can we see any trace of an Annelid ancestor in the vastly different frames of these animals which are said to descend from it?
1043But what higher types of life issued from the womb of nature after so long and painful a travail?
1043Can we suggest any reasons why brain should be especially developed in the apes, and more particularly still in the ancestors of man?
1043Do they point downward to lower forms, and upward to higher forms, as the theory of evolution requires?
1043Do we find a similar destruction of life, and selection of higher types, after the Pleistocene perturbation?

1043Have we not said that nothing remains of the procession of organisms during half the earth''s story but a shapeless seam of carbon or limestone?
1043How did these civilisations develop in Asia, and how is it that they have remained stagnant for ages, while Europe advanced?
1043How much advance should we allow for these seven or fourteen million years of swarming life and changing environments?
1043How, then, do we account for the wings of the insect?
1043If humanity shared at first a common patrimony, why have the savages remained savages, and the barbarians barbaric?
1043If man is a progressive animal, why has the progress been confined to some of the race?
1043In particular, had it any appreciable effect upon the human species?
1043Is man the last word of evolution?
1043Must every step of future progress be won by fresh and sustained struggle?
1043Or ought we to regard this change of structure as brought about by a few abrupt and considerable variations on the part of the young?
1043The more important question is: How do astronomers conceive the condensation of this mixed mass of cosmic dust?

15429How did he come thus early to teach himself German, a study which was to have undreamed- of consequences in his future?
15429How is it that all forms do not necessarily advance, and that simple organisms still exist?
15429I looked at it, and, seeing it bore the signature of Professor Huxley, I replied:"Certainly I will; but why do you ask for it?"
15429I maintain that there ought not in both cases-- I wonder what will be my opinion ten years hence?
15429If the expectation of hell hereafter can keep me from evil- doing, surely a fortiori the certainty of hell now will do so?
15429Is the historical evidence on which you build trustworthy?

37221And what would stir into activity in the necessary places the originally quiescent rudiments of the reserve army?
37221But are the alternatives really only as Weismann suggests?
37221But how can the doctrine of determinants be applied to it?
37221But how does this fabric, endowed with an architecture so complicated, actually produce the development of the adult from the egg?
37221Does it imply preformation or epigenesis?
37221How does Weismann attempt to reconcile his hypothesis of differentiating division with these facts?
37221In fact, the deepest consideration leads us again to the original question: Is embryonic development epigenesis or evolution?
37221Is it the new formation of complexity, or is it the becoming visible of complexity previously invisible to us?''
37221Is there no choice left for the naturalist?
37221What is development?

37221Would it not spoil her of her beauty?
37221Would not this change for us the presence of Nature?
37221or is it only after the division that it becomes different, and in consequence of the action of outer forces upon the nuclei?
3163Did you ever notice,says he,"that the high- hole never eats anything that he can not pick up with his tongue?
3163Oh, did you see that? 3163 But how many persons would have observed that the bird walked instead of hopped? 3163 Do they not look and nod to him from the bough? 3163 Do you remember the apple hole in the garden or back of the house, Ben Bolt? 3163 Does it mean a severe winter? 3163 Had some accident befallen him, or had he wandered away to fresh fields, following some siren of his species? 3163 How many eyes did Gilbert White open? 3163 Indeed, how can one by searching find a bird''s nest? 3163 Is there any other fruit that has so much facial expression as the apple? 3163 It would be interesting to know if jays ever rob jays, or crows plunder crows; or is there honor among thieves even in the feathered tribes? 3163 Shall we not say, then, in view of the above facts, that this little creature is weather- wise? 3163 She browses them down to be sure, but they are hers, and why should she not? 3163 The rats had built wisely, and would have been perfectly secure against any ordinary high water, but who can foresee a flood? 3163 Then, would a minister be apt to grow tiresome with two big apples in his coat- tail pockets? 3163 Was he out on a lark, I said, the spring fever working in his blood? 3163 We had found out the cider and the spirits, but who guessed the wine and the honey, unless it were the bees? 3163 What apple is that with a fat curved stem that blends so prettily with its own flesh,--the wine- apple? 3163 What boy does not more than half believe they can see with that single eye of theirs? 3163 What did she want? 3163 What would he see? 3163 When the hunter comes upon one of these yards the problem for him to settle is, Where are the moose? 3163 Who knows how much the bird lovers of New England lost by that foul deed? 3163 Whose design? 3163 Would he not naturally hasten along tolastly,"and the big apples?

29739And could a more striking illustration of the value of the study of insects possibly be instanced?
29739But how, as the generations of the flowers succeeded one another, did differences so striking come about?
29739But if what lies below the horse''s"knee"thus corresponds to the middle finger in ourselves, what has become of the four other fingers or digits?
29739But who ever formed an engaging acquaintance without wishing it might become a close friendship?
29739Can it be that both kinds of flowers are descended from forms resembling each other in want of grace and colour?
29739Do they believe that at each supposed act of creation one individual or many were produced?
29739Does nature descend to imposture or masquerade?
29739For what flower, however meek and lowly, could ever tell its story in plain black and white?
29739How did plants of so diverse families turn the tables on the insect world, and learn to eat instead of being themselves devoured?
29739Of what avail is all this seed if it falls as it ripens upon soil already overcrowded with its kind?
29739Or, instead of the camera, why not at first invoke the brush and colour- box?
29739PREFACE To gather stones and fallen boughs is soon to ask, what may be done with them, can they be piled and fastened together for shelter?
29739Were all the infinite numerous kinds of animals and plants created as eggs or seed, or as full grown?
29739What family tie is betrayed in all this?
29739What is the meaning of this strange travesty?
29739What new riches, therefore, may we not expect from the culture of the future?
29739What we desire to know is, is it a fact that evolution took place?
29739When Darwin was confronted with an organ or trait which puzzled him, he was wo nt to ask, What use can it have had?
29739When, so very easily, it can regale itself with food ready to hand why should it take the trouble to drudge for a living?
29739Which of us would thrive on milk at the rate of a pint to five hogsheads of water?
29739Who can explain what is the essence of the attraction of gravity?
29739Why, it may be asked, until recently did nearly all the most eminent living naturalists and geologists disbelieve in the mutability of species?
29739[ Illustration: Sage- flower and Bee] Bountifully to spread a table is much, but not enough, for without invitation how can hospitality be dispensed?
29739[ Illustration: Shut for Slaughter] Now the question is, How came about this strange and somewhat horrid means of livelihood?
29739[ Illustration: Twig of olive infected with Black Scale] Is it any wonder, then, that the fluted scales soon began to disappear?

15491_ Whether the Rayes from the top of Mountains are not bended into Curve- lines by inflection?

42606And since it is profitable to all concerned what more natural than that it should be brought about by natural selection?
42606At what rate will this change in the population take place?
42606But is it true?
42606Have we any grounds for supposing that populations of this sort can undergo such rapid changes?
42606What advantage then can an Ithomiine be supposed to gain by mimicking a Heliconine, or_ vice versâ_?
42606What advantage then have the Ithomiines over the majority of butterflies in those parts?
42606Why is it that when the altered germplasm is mingled with the original germplasm the various postulated stages between them are not reformed?
42606Why need we suppose that there were intermediate stages between the mimicking female and the original hypothetical female which was like the male?
42606Why should a species exchange its own bright and conspicuous warning pattern for one which is neither brighter nor more conspicuous?
42606Will natural selection really serve to explain all?
42606Yet if one is better off than the others, how is it that these still exist?

45084Are they for purposes of real study, or simply as curious objects to look at?

21019After we have read all this, we instinctively ask ourselves: do we actually live at the beginning of the 20th century?
21019But how does he settle with Romanes?
21019But is not this another plain indication of the decay of Darwinism?
21019But what is the Darwinian position?
21019But what is to be thought of his search after truth since he completely ignores his adversaries?
21019But what will Brother Bebel with his Haeckelism say to the present article?
21019But where is there mention of the professional colleagues of Haeckel whose testimonies could be taken seriously?
21019Does this article betoken the death- bed of Darwinism?
21019Does this in any way tend to establish Schmidt''s honesty?
21019For has not Professor Marsh told his readers that"to doubt evolution is to doubt science?"
21019For who would undertake to popularize what is not novel or striking?
21019For, what do we know of the so- called process of growth?
21019How could man who had sprung from the irrational brute possess a soul?
21019How do those groups of species which constitute what are called distinct genera arise?
21019How is either phenomenon to be explained?
21019How then fares it with the anthropological basis of Haeckel''s whole system?
21019Is it possible, that even at this late day the whole structure of scientific method is to be subverted in this fashion?
21019Is not this exactly what we have repeatedly asserted?
21019Is there any evidence that such a struggle for life among mature forms, as Darwin postulates, actually occurs?
21019Is there any reason to believe that new species may originate by the accumulation of fluctuating individual variations?
21019It does indeed meet with approval, but the question is, from whom?
21019It may be asked: What bearing has this principle of multiple origins?
21019On the contrary, is there not convincing proof that many, and presumably most, adaptations can not be thus accounted for?
21019The reader may now ask, What, then, is your idea of evolution?
21019What conclusions did he reach?
21019What then is there in the whole phenomenon worthy of notice with regard to the theory of Descent?
21019Why does Schmidt not mention here the names of Ruetimeyer, His, and Semper?
21019Why not?
21019Will Haeckel, in his usual manner try to cast suspicion on Hertwig also?

47580''Does he not want something soft?'' 47580 ''And after that?'' 47580 ''And what will he do next?'' 47580 ''Has he a mate?'' 47580 Did not his white breast enough betray him? 47580 He was indeed a silly Loon, I thought, for why, after displaying so much cunning did he betray himself the moment he came up by that loud laugh? 47580 How can we be happy or playful under such circumstances? 47580 I think it is a great shame to put any animal, bird or otherwise, in a_ little_ cage; do n''t you? 47580 If he wants to strike me, do you suppose I''m goin''to appear before Him and say I put that up to stop him?
47580My friend entering, I asked:''What is your bird doing?''
34077And that later dark scales shall appear at the exact spots to which the midrib must be prolonged?
34077But is it on that account necessarily wrong?
34077But it may be that Spencer''s assumption is the_ simpler_ one?
34077But the question remains, Why is this the fact?
34077Can not its fundamental ideas still be quite correct, and it itself therefore perfectly justified as a means of further progress?
34077Following the precedent of Waagen and Neumayr, Scott sharply discriminates between the inconstant vacillating variations which it is supposed[?]
34077For who can say precisely how large this number is?
34077How is it that the useful variations were always present here?
34077Now in what shall this process consist, if not in a modification of the constitution of the germ?
34077Now what does this mean?
34077Now what is it that has put so many genera of forest- butterflies and no others into positions where they could acquire this resemblance to leaves?
34077Or whether it is on the increase or on the decrease?
34077Or, suppose that they had really appeared, but occurred only in individuals, or in a small percentage of individuals?
34077Suppose that the useful colors had not{ 27} appeared at all, or had not appeared at the right places?
34077Surely my critics can not be ignorant of the prominent part which imagination has recently played in the exactest of all natural sciences-- physics?
34077The question arises, therefore, Have the principles just developed any claim to validity in the explanation of_ qualitative_ modifications?
34077Was it directive formative laws?
34077Where are the formative laws in such cases?
34077Where, for example, are the fossil remains{ 76} of the rejected individuals in the line of the Horses?
34077Why?
44820But where are the leaves?
44820But why does the strawberry develop this large mass of apparently useless matter?
44820Can I account for these peculiarities on mere natural grounds as well as for the others?
44820Have two original organs coalesced in the young ascidian, or has one organ split up into a couple with the rest of the class?
44820How am I to account for these peculiarities?
44820How does it come, though, that slugs and snails now live together in the self- same districts?
44820How is it, then, that naturalists had so long overlooked this distinction?
44820Must we not conclude that there are elements in the butterfly''s feeble brain exactly answering to the blank picture of its specific type?
44820Nothing could be simpler and prettier than this alternation of dark and light belts; but how is it produced?
44820Now which of us most nearly represents the old mud- loving vertebrate ancestor in this respect?
44820Now why has this kind of galium yellow flowers, while its near kinsman yonder has them snowy white?
44820So, too, must we not suppose that in every race of animals there arises a perceptive structure specially adapted to the recognition of its own kind?
44820What can be the raw material on which that pin''s head of a brain sets itself working?
44820What makes the strawberry stalk grow out into this odd and brightly coloured lump, bearing its small fruits embedded on its swollen surface?
44820What, however, forms the thinkable universe of these little ants running to and fro so eagerly at my feet?
44820Why are there still potentilla fruit- clusters which consist of groups of dry seed- like nuts?
44820Why is this?
44820Why, again, are the petals green?
47728But suppose the case were otherwise, what would it avail?
47728Do they ever think of the cost?
47728If these exquisite little creatures are called Humming- birds, you little folk may ask, why was n''t the Bee called a Buzzard because it buzzes?
47728She understood how to make an umbrella, did n''t she?
47728The question is not, Can they_ reason_?
47728What was to be done, an onward move against such a portent, or a calm withdrawal when everything was in their favor?
47728nor, Can they_ talk_?
44849But what is habit?
44849Had he read it: had he assimilated it so thoroughly as to be unconscious of its existence; is this a case of rapid growth of automatism?
44849In attacking this problem we must ask ourselves, What are the purposes that colouration, and, especially, decoration, can alone subserve?
44849In other words, How does colour affect the sensibility of its possessor?
44849Is it any explanation to say a creature performs a given action by habit?
44849See, it has pitched upon a slender twig, and notice how instinctively( shall we say?)
44849The wings close, and where is its beauty now?
44849What country- bred child forgets the strange smell of the city he first visits?
44849Who, that has seen a peacock spread his glorious plumes like a radiant glory, can doubt its fascination?
44849Whoever is or can be?
44849Why are night- blooming flowers white, or pale yellows and pinks, but to render them conspicuous?
44849Why are so many flowers striped in the direction of the nectary, but to point the painted way to the honey- treasures below?
44849Why have plants their tinted flowers, but to entice the insects there?
44849and how does it affect the sense organs of others?
44849or is it not rather playing with a word which expresses a phenomenon without explaining it?

38584Although difficult to investigate in their precise economy, it is extremely probable( may I not say, certain?)
38584And hence we arrive at the question, is this so?
38584But how, it may be asked, does this_ primary adaptation_ to external conditions affect the question of specific development?
38584But how, it will be asked, can this be?
38584But what do these facts indicate?
38584But what does this prove, except that their capacity for advancement has a slightly wider compass than that of their allies?
38584But what, it may be inquired, is this great primary truth which the monomial system tends to violate?
38584But, what are the differences displayed?
38584But, what would be the many results of a diminution in the level of our imaginary range?
38584Can we therefore do so?
38584Hence our first stipulation, that of_ sufficient time_, is satisfied; and what is the result?
38584Taking the preceding considerations into account, the question will perhaps arise,--How then is a genus to be defined?
38584The only questions which would then appear immediately to suggest themselves, are: Under what circumstances do they principally fluctuate?
38584The question therefore arises,--Is it possible for them to_ be_ so joined?
38584The question therefore naturally suggests itself,--Is this in harmony with what we see; or, in other words, is it consistent with experience, or not?
38584The whole problem, in that case, does in effect resolve itself to this,--Where, and how, are the lines of demarcation to be drawn?
38584and how can they be so well acknowledged, either in principle or practice, as through the medium of a binomial nomenclature?
38584and why should it happen that organs which are apparently so necessary as a medium of subsistence, should be subject to inconstancy?

26516But the nighthawks which soar and boom above our city streets, whence come they?
26516But those specks passing across its surface?
26516But what of our smaller birds?
26516But what of the delicate Indian pipe which gleams out from the darkest aisles of the forest?
26516But what of the many nests of grasses and twigs which we find in the woods?
26516Can the peacock''s train do more?
26516Close bosom friend of the maturing sun; Where are the songs of spring?
26516Did he cling to and creep along the bark, as the black- and- white warbler, or feed from the ground or the thicket as does the worm- eating?
26516Did he snatch flies on the wing as the necklaced Canadian warbler, or glean from the brook''s edge as our water thrush?
26516Did he spend the winter by himself, or did the_ heimweh_ smite his heart more sorely and bring him irresistibly to the loved nest in the rafters?
26516Did it ever occur to you to think what the first nest was like-- what home the first reptile- like scale flutterers chose?
26516Did you ever try to make a nest yourself?
26516Do they make daily pilgrimages from distant woods?
26516Has Nature''s frost mortar cemented every stone in its bed?
26516Have they flown elsewhere and left their mates to endure the dangers of moulting alone?
26516How did it ever get up here?
26516How much is by- product merely?
26516How much of the peacock''s train or of the thrush''s song is appreciated by the female?
26516Is everything frozen tight?
26516Is it not likely that the Teleosaurs who watched hungrily from the swamps saw them disappear at last in a hollowed cavity beneath a rotten knothole?
26516Is it the creaking of the tiny hinges?
26516Is it, though?
26516Now every feather and plume is at its brightest and full development; for must not the fastidious females be sought and won?
26516Oh, what is abroad in the marsh and terminal sea?
26516Our robins and bluebirds are of the orchard and the home of man, but who can claim neighbourship to the bittern or the bullfrog?
26516Spring here-- by what magician''s touch?
26516Was some one of their enemies stricken with a plague, or did they show more than usual care in the selecting of their nesting holes?
26516What can these little fellows find to feed upon these cold nights, when the birds seek the most hidden and sheltered retreats?
26516What good luck must have come to the chickadee race during the preceding summer?
26516What of the green film which is drawn over every moist tree- trunk or shaded wall, or of the emerald film which coats the water of the pond''s edge?
26516What of the tiny winter wren which spends the zero weather with us?
26516What use can it subserve, æsthetic or otherwise?
26516What would you do?
26516Where are the resplendent drakes?
26516Whither midst falling dew, While glow the heavens with the last steps of day, Far, through their rosy depths, dost thou pursue Thy solitary way?
26516Who can tell when the northern sparrows first arrive?
26516Why, we ask, are some birds so careless or so unskilful?
31292Ilk happing bird, wee helpless thing, That in the merry months o''spring Delighted me to hear thee sing, What comes o''thee? 31292 Where are your fragrant flowers?"
31292Are there not more births in the spring and more deaths in the fall?
31292But what can not a cow''s tongue stand?
31292But why bear to the left at all, if the lake was directly opposite?
31292Come here, my fairy, and tell me whence you come and whither you go?
31292Could they not see the spawn of the blow- flies?
31292Do honey- bees injure the grape and other fruits by puncturing the skin for the juice?
31292Do nettles and thistles bite so sharply in any other country?
31292Does it indicate a severe winter approaching?
31292From what fact or event shall one really date the beginning of spring?
31292Had some accident befallen him, or had he wandered away to fresh fields, following some siren of his species?
31292How comes the witch- hazel to be the one exception, and to celebrate its floral nuptials on the funeral day of its foliage?
31292Is it not because a full supply of clear spring water can be counted on at that season more than at any other?
31292Is there not something in our soil and climate exceptionally favorable to weeds,--something harsh, ungenial, sharp- toothed, that is akin to them?
31292The grass hatches out under the snow, and why should not the grasshopper?
31292Then is there anything like a perfect April morning?
31292Then who would not have a garden in April?
31292They sought to account for such things without stopping to ask, Are they true?
31292Was he out on a lark, I said, the spring fever working in his blood?
31292Was this a kind of intelligence?
31292We cease to fear, perhaps, but how can one cease to marvel and to love?
31292Were the poems true to their last word?
31292What brings you to port here, you gossamer ship sailing the great sea?
31292What crop have I sowed in Florida or in California, that I should go there to reap?
31292What secret of hers has she buttoned in so securely?
31292What was it?
31292Where do they get it?
31292Where wilt thou cow''r thy chittering wing, And close thy ee?"
31292Which are our sweet- scented wild flowers?
31292Why has Nature taken such particular pains to keep these balls hanging to the parent tree intact till spring?
31292Why is the thrasher so stealthy?
31292Will they, too, in time, change their habits in this respect?
31292[ Illustration: ON THE EDGE OF A CATSKILL"SUGAR BUSH"] Does not the human frame yield to and sympathize with the seasons?
31292[ Illustration: PICKING WILD FLOWERS]"Do honey and fragrance always go together in the flowers?"
31292and the eagle flapping by, or floating along on a raft of ice, does not he bring the mountain?
31292or that on windy days they carried little stones for ballast?
31292or that two hostile swarms fought each other in the air?
47602Nor the Red- eyed Vireo''s?
47602So are you-- what?
47602What business is it of yours?
47602What is a knot, mamma?
47602But mice are nuisances anyway, do n''t you think?
47602I imitated Mr. Catbird very well, did n''t I?"
47602I should like very much to be in a ship and see him walking on the water, would n''t you?"
47602I wish Mr. Blue Jay_ would_ come over here and----""Come over here?"
47602I''d like to know because?
47602Listen, ca n''t you?"
47602Mrs. John last year, though, had ten in one brood, did she not?"
47602My nest?
47602Well, I think that is reason enough, do n''t you?
47602What can be the matter, I wonder?"
47602What could the little creature want?
47602What''s in a name anyway?
47602Why may not a similar experiment be made with the Silver Pheasant?
47602Would n''t a rose smell just as sweet if it were named Blue Peter, too?
47602chirped Mrs. Wren, who at once saw the force of his reasoning,"what would you do, Mr. Wren, should he attack us?
16487( b)_ Nature of Protoplasm_.--What is this material, protoplasm?
16487--_The Author.__ CREATION OR EVOLUTION?
16487== The Cell==.--But what is this cell which forms the unit of life, and to which all the fundamental vital properties can be traced?
16487Are physical and chemical forces together sufficient to explain life?
16487Are the laws and forces of chemistry sufficient to explain digestion?
16487Are the laws of electricity applicable to an understanding of nervous phenomena?
16487Are there any forces in nature which are of a sort as to enable us to use them to explain the building of machines?
16487Are there limits to the application of natural law to explain life?
16487Are we any nearer to understanding how these vital processes arise?
16487But have we thus reduced these fundamental phenomena to an intelligible explanation?
16487But wherein does this knowledge of cells help us?
16487But who can doubt that the watch, as well as the water- wheel, is governed by the law of the correlation of forces?
16487Can the animal body be properly regarded as a machine controlled by mechanical laws?
16487Can the motion of the body, for example, be made as intelligible as the motion of the steam engine?
16487Can there be found something connected with living beings which is force but not correlated with the ordinary forms of energy?
16487Can this phase of living activity be included within the conception of the body as a machine?
16487Can we find a mechanical or chemical explanation of the origin of protoplasm?
16487Can we, by the use of these same chemical and physical forces, explain the activities taking place in the living organism?
16487Does nature, apart from human intelligence, possess forces which can achieve such results?
16487Has nature any forces for machine building?
16487Have we then any suggestion as to the method of the origin of this protoplasmic machine?
16487How could any changes in the environment of the individual have any effect upon this dormant material stored within it?
16487How were they built?
16487How, then, can biology be called a new science When it is older than all the others?
16487IS THE BODY A MACHINE?
16487IS THE BODY A MACHINE?
16487If the present is a key to the past in interpreting geological history, should not the same be true of this history of life?
16487In the first place, what are these properties?
16487Is it a fact that the only significance to the term vital is that we have not yet been able to explain these processes to our entire satisfaction?
16487Is it possible to discover these forces and comprehend their action?
16487Is the difference between what we have called the secondary processes and the primary ones only one of degree?
16487Is there a probability that the actions which we now call vital will some day be as readily understood as those which have already been explained?
16487Is there any method by which we can approach these fundamental problems of muscle action, heart beat, gland secretion, etc.?
16487Now what is the significance of all these facts for our discussion?
16487Or, on the other hand, are there some phases of life which the forces of chemistry and physics can not account for?
16487Shall it be the linin, or the liquids, or the microsomes, or the chromatin threads, or the centrosomes?
16487The germ material is derived from the parents, and, if it is simply stored in the individual, how could an acquired variation affect it?
16487What can we say in regard to these fundamental vital powers of the active tissues?
16487What has been its history?
16487What, then, is reproduction?
16487When the egg begins to divide does each of the first two cells still contain potentially the organization of the whole adult, or only one half of it?
16487Which of these is the actual physical basis of life?
16487Which of these various bodies shall we continue to call protoplasm?
16487Who could look upon the adaptation of the eye to light without seeing in It the result of intelligent design?
16487Why should they occur in living organisms, and here alone?
133704:3)?
13370All living things vary from one generation to another; the question was, Why do they vary?
13370And if the latter be our answer, can we hope to settle the problem objectively and so conclusively that it will stay settled?
13370And so, where is the evolution?
13370And why?
13370But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?"
13370But would not this be a real Creation in the old- fashioned sense of this term?
13370Do we, then, begin to understand the real composition of matter?
13370Does it have component parts, in the materialistic sense; or is what we call_ matter_ only a mysterious manifestation of energy?
13370For if a Being saw fit to create life at all, why should He stop with one or two bits of protoplasmic units?
13370How can these primordial units of which matter is composed behave so differently, if they are really alike, mere duplicates of one another?
13370How can we deal with such a large subject in a brief way?
13370How can we deny that this"persistence"of these unicellular forms constitutes a very strong argument in favor of the"fixity"of these forms?
13370How shall we distinguish the living from the not- living?
13370How then are we better off than before without any such theory?
13370How then shall we reconcile these conflicting views?
13370II In view of such facts as these, what possible chance is there for a scheme of organic evolution?
13370III But what are the lessons to be learned from this great fact, and what bearing has this fact on the old Bible doctrine of a literal Creation?
13370III Where then are we?
13370In other words, would we really solve anything after all?
13370It seems best to confine our attention in this chapter to an attempt to answer the question, What is a species?
13370Must we not say that every possible form of the development theory is hereby ruled out of court?
13370THE CELL AND THE LESSONS IT TEACHES 57 V. WHAT IS A"SPECIES"?
13370This geological series is still on our hands; what are we to do with it?
13370V WHAT IS A"SPECIES"?
13370What essentially is involved in saying that there is no spontaneous generation of life?
13370What is it to be alive?
13370What is the present situation of the controversy?
13370and are"species"natural groups clearly delimited by nature?
13370and do these variations really represent new characters comparable to new species in the making?
47603179 CAN ANIMALS COUNT?
47603And the birds, why rob them of nests or eggs?
47603But does loving and wishing for things which are not ours make it right to take them?
47603CAN ANIMALS COUNT?
47603Can not the moral growth and the mental growth of the child develop together?
47603Do n''t you think, dear children, God is very good to us to let us have such beautiful birds in the world?
47603Do you see what a bright eye it has?
47603Here are a few questions that give the children little pleasure and less opportunity for expression: Is n''t this a very pretty bird?
47603How do I know?
47603How many of you have seen a bird like this?
47603How would you like to own him, and have him at your house?
47603How?
47603I think that was too much to ask of any Dog, do n''t you?
47603If the teacher can develop the love of nature, can she not develop the sense of honor also?
47603Was he indeed hearing the bird of his youth?
47603Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang and stood In brighter light, and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood?
47603Why should I care to flaunt My feathered beauty on a bare November bough?
47603You would scarcely think to look at these lively little animals that they could be tamed and become strongly attached to their masters, would you?
47603and who told me?
48606Indeed,said cousin Swift,"and what do you think of having a bill three or four times as long as any of your neighbors?"
48606Well, have you decided to move?
48606''Why do yo''sing?''
48606If there were no great and universal interest at stake in this question, How much do we owe to the birds?
48606Misteh Gol''Wing, why yo''drum Up yandah in de tree?
48606The first question will then be, How may we secure the passage of laws such as we need?
48606What, now, of the enforcement of these laws?
48540A waltz,I thought;"grouse waltzing; whoever heard of such a thing?"
48540But where are we going?
48540Where is the ruffed grouse?
48540Bird wing and flower stem, Break them who would?
48540Bird wing and flower stem, Make them who could?
48540Can we provide any such safe retreats?
48540He''s piping and calling, this ardent young lover, And telling his tale the whole morning through, What is it he says in the early sunlight?
48540I had said to my brother that I wished I could see such a wonderful jubilee, when he replied:"Can you keep a secret?"
48540What are a hundred years in the history of our family who lived in England and northern Europe thousands of years ago?
48540Who knows the joy a bird knows, When it goes fleetly?
48540Who knows the joy a flower knows, When it blows sweetly?
48540Who''s whistling so cheerfully down in the clover, When the meadows are wet with the sweet morning dew?
48540You all know about the Queen''s Diamond Jubilee over in England?
28897Among animals of good blood, are there not always some which are superior to the rest?"
28897And secondly, if they so differ, how have they become thus adapted?
28897But can it be safely maintained that such changed conditions, if acting during a long series of generations, would not produce a marked effect?
28897But is this the case with smaller changes?
28897By what links can the Cochin fowl be closely united with others?
28897Can our prize- cattle and sheep be still further improved?
28897Can this parallelism be accidental?
28897Did He ordain that the crop and tail- feathers of the pigeon should vary in order that the fancier might make his grotesque pouter and fantail breeds?
28897Do you take care about breeding and pairing them?
28897Does it not rather indicate some real bond of connection?
28897How can we account for these facts?
28897How then could these admirably co- ordinated modifications of structure have been acquired?
28897How, again, can we explain to ourselves the inherited effects of the use or disuse of particular organs?
28897Is it an illusion that these recently improved animals safely transmit their excellent qualities even when crossed with other breeds?
28897May not the early closing of a deep wound, as in the case of the extirpation of the scapula, prevent the formation or protrusion of the nascent limb?
28897Now is it possible to conceive external conditions more closely alike than those to which the buds on the same tree are exposed?
28897There are two distinct questions: Do varieties descended from the same species differ in their power of living under different climates?
28897They might ask whether the half- wild Arabs were led by theoretical notions to keep pedigrees of their horses?
28897To recur to our former illustration of the Irish elk, it may be asked what part has suffered in consequence of the immense development of the horns?
28897What would the floriculturist care for any change in the structure of the ovarium or of the ovules?
28897Where can Flora''s Garland be found equal to those at Slough?
28897Where do high- coloured flowers revel better than at Woolwich and Birmingham?
28897Why have pedigrees been scrupulously kept and published of the Shorthorn cattle, and more recently of the Hereford breed?
28897Will a gooseberry ever weigh more than that produced by"London"in 1852?
28897Will a race- horse ever be reared fleeter than Eclipse?
28897Will future varieties of wheat and other grain produce heavier crops than our present varieties?
28897Will the beet- root in France yield a greater percentage of sugar?
28897unicorne, pubes_(_?_), and in two other unnamed species.
48298Well, then,reasoned Mrs. Flicker,"if it is not a stump,_ what is it_?"
48298What do you propose to do for me_ this_ year? 48298 What does she carry?"
48298What is she?
48298Whoever heard of a stump, old and gray and moss- covered, appearing in one night?
48298But, alas, and alas, Who will think as I pass, I was once gay and bold?"
48298But,"she added coaxingly,"it really is more like a stump than a person, now is n''t it?
48298How are these things related that such deep union should exist between them all?
48298How many of us ever think of the so- called isinglass of our stove doors as a mineral substance?
48298How much help can I rely upon from you?"
48298Is it chance?
48298Or, are they not all the fine branches of one trunk, whose sap flows through us all?
48298P. W. H."Lightning bugs"and other insects that carry lights are familiar in many parts of the country, but who ever heard of birds that carry lights?
48298The cedar waxwings were also interested in the gray stump-- but afraid of it?
48298The question of interest to- day is how was it possible to destroy so many animals in so short a time and what methods were employed?
48298What does he miss?
48298What the wisdom from the dove?
48085How long has that picture been hanging there?
48085And again, why are the wolves of different countries unlike, and which species of wolf is the true and only one?
48085And what do we love more than tone and color, music and pictures?
48085Did you ever place a large shell to your ear and listen to its roar?
48085Leaves whirl, white flakes about me blow-- Are they spring blossoms or the snow?
48085Mr. Aima B. Morton puts it in this way: Why do children like colored pictures to abstraction?
48085Or is it that its white breast, thickly spotted with dusky, resembles the thrush''s?
48085Plover, thou lover Of moorlands Drained by the surfing sea-- Lover of marshy tourlands, What is the world to thee?
48085Possibly the brave little housekeeper divined the situation; or did she presume upon a previous acquaintance with the friendly farmer?
48085The old farmer interprets their colloquy thus:--"Bob White, Bob White, Pease ripe, pease ripe?"
48085There is the low, sweet mother- talk to the brood, the notes of warning, the"scatter calls"of autumn from the survivors of an attack,"_ Where are you?
48085There would she sit the summer day, singing a song so bright; You never heard the song, you say, and do n''t believe it quite?
48085What chance have boys and girls with a dead- alive teacher in a school- house whose blank walls are eloquent of poverty?
48085Where are you?_"and a sort of duet between male and female at nesting time.
48085Who does not love the beauty of shells?
48085Who, when visiting the sea- shore, has not sought them with eagerness?
48085Why not everywhere also upon schoolroom walls bare of these choice educational influences?
48085but this order, too, goes unheeded, as our Will has no widow, and if he had why should we chuck her?
48331Is the tenement you speak of in a stump, fence hole, or tree cavity?
48331What do they eat?
48331What''s that?
48331A monument to Washington?
48331A tablet graven with his name?
48331Could it be Mr. Bluebird, I questioned as I hastened to the window opera- glass in hand?
48331How many of the boys and girls who read BIRDS AND ALL NATURE ever saw a baby heron?
48331Is it not a little strange Once in four years you should change, That the sun should shine and give You another day to live?
48331Now, is n''t that a little baby?
48331Shall I tell you about his dress?
48331She was cold and distant, whether from maidenly coyness or a laudable desire to check his too confident, proprietorship sort of air, who can say?
48331The two understood each other at once, and why should they not?
48331Was n''t that a fine breakfast?
48331Why do you go by so fast?
48331said Mr. Mole Cricket from under his horny skin,"What do you think of that?"
48030Do n''t you think the worms are as fond of their life as you are of yours?
48030No luck, my boy?
48030Not hungry to- day, eh?
48030What did you do to that bird?
48030What signifieth the complexion of bird, beast, or man,he demanded gravely,"when one standeth in need of courage, intelligence, strength?
48030Where did you get those peaches, John?
48030Where does he live?
48030Among all the winged creatures of the air within the ark, canst thou name one with instinct more subtle than the raven''s?
48030Can it be that pupils are averse to actual contact with nature?
48030Do we know the wild flower when we have analyzed it and pressed it, or made a drawing of it?
48030Does a man bare his head in some old church?
48030How and when did I myself acquire my love for her?
48030How many of us can define the phrase"collecting for scientific purposes,"which, like liberty, is the excuse for many crimes?
48030How shall we instil this love into them?
48030In the middle of the performance in walked dignified Mr. Taffy with a look which plainly said,"What more are you going to bring into this room?"
48030Is it any wonder that so few ever go on with this geology, mineralogy, botany, or zoölogy, after they leave school?
48030Is there any other place, except the seaside, where hours are so short and moments so swift as in the forest?
48030What had she in those dreary hours, Within her ice- rimmed bay, In common with the wild- wood flowers, The first sweet smiles of May?
48030What is our object as teachers?
48030What was I in its presence but a grasshopper?
48030Where in the world are we to stow away all these creatures on one little town lot?
22165_ Waiow!_ Wha- a- ar are ye?
22165And to what insect might we assume this invitation of color, fragrance, nectar, and threshold to be extended?
22165And what is an orchid?
22165And what is the almost certain doom of the bird- home thus contaminated by the cow- bird?
22165And what is the deep- laid plan by which this end is assured?
22165And what is this?
22165And what_ is_ this cuckoo which has thus bewitched all the poets?
22165But could he have solved the riddle of the orchid''s persistent refusal to set a pod in the conservatory?
22165But have we fully examined this nest of our yellow warbler?
22165Can we not trace still another faint outline of a transverse division in the fabric, about an inch below the one already separated?
22165For what are they all but the divinely imposed conditions of interassociation?
22165Has our warbler, then, come back to his last year''s home and fitted it up anew for this summer''s brood?
22165Here is a hole evidently some inches in depth; what, then, has become of the earth removed?
22165How are we to know that this blossom which we plucked is an orchid?
22165How many thousands are the bird homes which are blasted in her"annual visit?"
22165I have pictured my picnic, and the question naturally arises, what was it all about-- what the occasion for this celebration?
22165In what respect did the one selected differ from the others?
22165Indeed, did he not"know"it to the core of its physical, if not of its physiological, being?
22165Is it not rather a whole covey of quail, mother and young creeping along the vine?
22165Is the American species a degenerate or a progressive nest- builder?
22165Shall we not discriminate in our employment of the superlative?
22165The family of the heath, cranberry, pyrola, Andromeda, and mountain- laurel-- how do these blossoms welcome their insect friends?
22165There on a clover blossom he sits-- sipping honey?
22165Was ever thorn so deciduous?
22165What could it say to me now in my more questioning mood?
22165What insect has a tongue five inches long, and sufficiently slender to probe this nectary?
22165What insect, then, is here implied?
22165What is the personality behind that"wandering voice?"
22165What is to be the ultimate outcome of it all?
22165What of the throstle and the lark?
22165What the distinguishing trait which has made this wily attendant on the spring notorious from the times of Aristotle and Pliny?
22165What, then, are the conditions embodied?

16442***** What now are the results of variation, over- multiplication, and competition?
16442***** What, now, are the reasons why the palæontological evidence is not complete and why it can not be?
16442***** What, now, is life?
16442And if it does not represent a reduced counterpart of the tails of other mammals, what does it represent?
16442Are they permanent and unchanged since the beginning of time, unchanging and unchangeable at the present?
16442Are we not too busy with the ordering of our immediate affairs to concern ourselves with such remote matters?
16442Are we to forget all of these things when we try to put in order our ideas belonging to the categories of higher thought?
16442Birds, 44; have they descended from gill- breathing ancestors?
16442But are the difficulties insuperable?
16442But is this conception really justified by the facts of animal structure and physiology?
16442But why does this view seem justified?
16442Can we hope to find the truth if we fail to employ the methods of scientific common- sense which only yield sure results?
16442Can we look upon the living thing as a mechanism in the proper sense of the word?
16442Can we reasonably regard these resemblances as indications of anything else but a community of ancestry of the forms that exhibit them?
16442Do the rules of nature''s order control the lives of men?
16442Does any one of us do all of these things for himself?
16442Does palæontology throw any light on the antiquity of man?
16442Does this mean that even birds have descended from gill- breathing ancestors?
16442Does this mean that man and all the other higher forms have evolved from protozoa in the course of long ages?
16442Does this mean that the essential process of what we call life is a chemical one?
16442How are we to regard the material things of the earth?
16442How can we be independent of the environment when we are interlocked in so many ways with inorganic nature?
16442How does the human body develop?
16442How does the matter stand when the general structural plan of a human being is examined?
16442In brief, is life physics and chemistry?
16442Is it entirely different from everything else?
16442Is the human species a unique kind of vertebrate, or does it find a place in one of these classes?
16442Life, what is it?
16442Organisms, living, 14; analysis of, 16; 17, 18, 19, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32; characteristic early stages, 55; are they adapted by circumstances?
16442Science, what is it?
16442These facts being as they are, what must we do?
16442Unless the coccyx is a tail, what can it be?
16442What are the facts of human structure, comparatively treated?
16442What has become of the masses washed away during the formation of these gorges?
16442What have we to do with evolution and science?
16442What is it that distinguishes a savage of antiquity from an American of to- day?
16442What now are the lessons of social evolution and what guidance does science give for human endeavor?
16442What, now, is a science?
16442Why is adaptation a universal phenomenon of organic nature?
16442Why should this be so?
16442Why, now, should it be necessary for a developing bird to follow this order?
16442Would any one contend that the creeds of Protestantism have remained unchanged even during the past twenty years?
48141A kindergarten,echoed Jim,"what''s that?"
48141Have you heard that Mr. Grizzle Prairie Dog has been found?
48141Have you told Mrs. Grizzle the sad news?
48141No, where?
48141O, where have you been all night, Wish- ton- wish?
48141Where can my birdie be?
48141Where can she be?
48141Where do you suppose we are?
48141A good husband?
48141All one family?
48141Are there to be no more of them?"
48141Do n''t you think so, too?
48141For are they not a symbol of our own death and resurrection when we shall awake in His glorious likeness?"
48141Presently he called out again and this time with greater tact:"How are your charming daughters this morning?"
48141Since the different teas are all from the same species of plant why should there be such a difference in price?
48141Sorry?
48141What should I do?
48141Would n''t the little readers of BIRDS AND ALL NATURE enjoy a talk with a mother- bird?
48141Yet still there must be Some sweet mission for me, For have I not warmed you and cheered you to- night?"
48579And they say,"And what''s that?"
48579And they say,"Now, what''s that?"
48579Big one said,"Why do n''t you take their picture?"
48579But did n''t that blunderin''rags march right up to our door and push and scratch till she saw what we had?
48579But how was she to get that big body across a crack that could swallow them both?
48579But what are the practices which we call cruel?
48579Can imagination boast Amid its gay creations hues like hers?
48579Can you guess why?
48579Cause why?
48579Did you ever try to help some one and find too late you had done exactly the wrong thing?
48579Have we not a right, therefore, to place the blame at the door of Fashion?
48579Mornin''after folks stop talkin''''bout how bad they slept and say,"What''s that?"
48579Now will you tell me how she knew that she could have no power over the worm while he was on his ten feet, that stuck to the sidewalk like glue?
48579Was it magic?
48579Why are there no spiny- rayed fishes?
48579Why do n''t they leave the region when the shooting begins?
48579Why do we say that any cruel treatment of the birds is chargeable to fashion?
6710But how can we reconcile this view with the known facts of evolution?
6710This probably occurred in the Platode ancestors of most( or all?)
6710What can we deduce from this with regard to our own genealogy?
44194But, my child, why do you want to calm me? 44194 How is it possible that in Europe, in a civilised country, mutual interests should not be reconciled without killing?"
44194Is it not strange that it should have stopped before I? 44194 What good can it do man to have a notion of the weight and dimensions of the planet Mars?"
44194What is the good?
44194And as he protested, he added,"You remember your promise?
44194And what road should we take when we left it?
44194Avdotia Maximovna would then rush to soothe him and soundly rate the servant girl,"Are you not ashamed to leave a noble child all alone?"
44194But did I ever tell you that they had the same for me?
44194But directly after he was gone Elie turned to me with an anxious look and said,"Well, what do you think of my idea?"
44194But how is the fear of death to be explained, since it is a general and inevitable phenomenon?
44194But why had he given his words that jesting form which must have misled M. Roux?
44194Could it have been otherwise?
44194Elie said to him:"Salimbeni, you are a friend; tell me, is it the end?"
44194He said to himself:"Why live?
44194How can I describe those last three days?
44194How could life be possible there?
44194How could that unforeseen result be explained?
44194How is it that we have no_ natural instinct_ for death?
44194How long should we remain?
44194How many times have I not availed myself of it?
44194If I really am reasonable, why fear a blind impulse?
44194Is this a life?
44194More even than your science, your kindliness attracts; who amongst us has not experienced it?
44194My heart breaking, I asked him why he said that; was he feeling very weak?
44194My private life is ended; my eyes are going; when I am blind I can no longer work, then why live?"
44194She has faults which must seem graver to me than to you, but what is to be done?
44194The lively Emilia Lvovna often said to him,"But why do you never talk, Mitienka?"
44194We were already very good friends, and have now drawn nearer together; who knows?
44194What is it that provokes it?
44194What is the good of making me last?
44194What is to be done to avoid it?
44194What was happening?
44194What, then, is the mechanism of phagocytic digestion?
44194When his condition grew worse and he felt no hope whatever of his recovery, he often used to say,"What is to be done?
44194You will do my post- mortem?
44194You will hold my hand, will you not?"
44194after a terrible night, saying to me afterwards in explanation,"Why grieve them, since it can not be helped?"
44194or suffering very much?
44194what are you thinking of?
48388A brief bird life-- is this its end?
48388ANTS.--Would you like to get a clean skeleton of any small animal?
48388Do we care What the feathers women wear Cost the world?
48388Does it matter?
48388Have you ever thought how sad a tree must feel when it is transplanted from the forest to the city or town?
48388Is the love of a bonnet supreme over all, In a lady so faultlessly fair?
48388May they never, never fly Safely through their native air?
48388Must all birds die?
48388Ought not one to consider, and carefully study the tree, as a whole, before venturing to remove any of its branches?
48388Should we despise anything that God has made?
48388The Father takes heed when the sparrows fall, He hears when the starving nestlings call-- Can a tender woman_ not care_?
48388To examine it from every point of view?
48388What do we plant when we plant the tree?
48388What do we plant when we plant the tree?
48388What do we plant when we plant the trees?
48388What the message full he brings When in March''s ear he sings?
48388Whither these enchantments tend?
48388Would you think it?
48466How many of your customers know anything about what they eat?
48466Of course they know what they eat, but who of them know anything about the stuff? 48466 And what could be more tranquillizing than the ever- changing beauty of a sunset? 48466 But one can not often be in these places, while one might spare ten or fifteen minutes to stand by the window at sunset? 48466 Do they get homesick after they have gone some distance, and return once more to look upon the familiar scenes? 48466 How is it possible that we can pass such beauty by unnoticed, or be indifferent to it because it is common? 48466 How many of you, I wonder, have a west window? 48466 If so, then the grub must also become a butterfly, or what becomes of the species? 48466 Shall I deny its quest, Refuse a welcome to the homeless guest? 48466 These and the woods''low breath of song Just now across the way; To- morrow?... 48466 Vol iv, 182 are Protected? 48466 Vol v, 161 or Flowers? 48466 Vol vi, 26 Count? 48466 Vol vii, 53 Count, Can Animals? 48466 What, then, are the marked differences between them? 48466 Who can look without admiration upon them? 48466 Who could the rigor of such night endure? 48466 Who could wish to destroy them? 48503 O, Mamma,"said Wodie,"did ever you see So tiny a nest in so tiny a tree?
48503Am I not singing?
48503And is n''t it perfectly lovely to stay In the spicy catnip leaves all day?
48503And whenever you wish for something to eat, To dine on a slice of strawberry sweet?
48503Are there rights of any other sort in the world?
48503Did the rivers make the valleys or did the valleys make the rivers?
48503Did you ever hear of the orator in the New York Legislature, who wondered how it was that the rivers most always flowed by the big cities?
48503Do you not think that some day we will again come back to the old love of the river, even if we do not need it so much as a highway now?
48503Has the bird a right to live?
48503How does the value of the bird''s body used for food compare with the good the bird would do if allowed to live?
48503How have the various types of bird life come into existence?
48503Sharp little twitters near by us we heard; Where was the haunt of the dear little bird?
48503So, what do you suppose she did?
48503We might properly discuss the question, What do we owe to the birds?
48503What do we mean by a"natural right?"
48503What kind of food does the camel like best, anyhow?
48503What shall we say about the bird''s right to liberty?
48503What, then, does he do that can be called really useful?
48503Who was it that started the first steamboat up the Hudson?
48503Why is this?
36844Are you not content to see what you see, hear what you hear, and kill nothing but time?
36844Are you not glad they are going as safely as their uncaught shadows that sweep swiftly across the shadowy meshes of the forest floor?
36844Are you not sorry, to- day at least, to hear the boys and the dog besieging him in his burrow or in the old stone wall wherein he has taken sanctuary?
36844At last the hilltop is gained, but what unfamiliar scene is this which has taken the place of that so cherished in his memory and so longed for?
36844But what is that?
36844But why not let the poor fellow go?
36844Did they con the first lesson of safety in the dark chamber of the egg, or absorb it with the warmth of the brooding breast that gave them life?
36844For what he preserves for us of the almost extinct wildness, shall we begrudge him the meagre compensation of an occasional turkey?
36844Has he, like many of his biggers and betters, gone a- wooing in winter nights?
36844Have not you, too, wrought havoc among harmless broods and brought sorrow to feathered mothers and woodland homes?
36844How long ago did death''s inevitable dart pierce his heart?
36844How many of those merry voices are stilled forever, from how many of those happy faces has the light of life faded?
36844How many of you will ever meet again?
36844If jacking deer is right, how can jacking fish be wrong?
36844Is he worse than you, or are you better than he?
36844It does not look difficult nor like work; but could you strike"twice in a place,"or in half a day bring down a tree twice as thick as your body?
36844Or is it an inward fire and no outward warmth that has thawed him into this sudden activity?
36844Shall he beguile the tediousness of a wet day in camp with books and papers?
36844Was there ever such a shot?
36844What can be sweeter than the wholesome fragrance of the fallen leaves?
36844What does it profit us to kill merely for the sake of killing, and have to show therefor but a beggarly account of bones and feathers?
36844What is their right to this stream, these woods, compared with mine?
36844What to the usurpers of our rights are these woods and waters but a place for the killing of game and fish?
36844Who has not known a little alder swamp, in which he was sure to find a dozen woodcock, when he visited it on the first day of the season each year?
36844Who knows what was their method of tapping?
36844Who lighted this camp- fire?
36844Why should sportsmen be less provident of the stock they prize so dearly; stock that has so few care- takers, so many enemies?
36844With such a home and such bountiful provision for his larder close at hand, what more could the heart and stomach of mink desire?
36844Would that all the world were here to see, for who can believe it just for the telling?
36844Yet who shall say that you had a better right to the partridges than he to the eggs?
36844or if jacking fish be wrong, how can jacking deer be right?
36949Are they endeavouring to drive her away that she may not lay her egg in either of their nests?
36949Are you afraid?
36949But how did it get into the mind of an illiterate old woman in an out- of- the- way village?
36949But where does it go?
36949Could any system of notation ever express the number of these creatures that have existed in the past?
36949Do they, then, intermarry year after year?
36949Does the May bloom, which is almost proverbial for its sweetness, occasionally turn sour, as it were, before a thunderstorm?
36949Finally, he perks his tail up, and challenges the world with the call already mentioned, which seems now to mean,"Come and see Me; am I not handsome?"
36949Has the date of the harvest any influence upon the migration of birds?
36949Have they discovered that green wood shrinks in drying, and that rotten wood is untrustworthy?
36949Have we not here, however, a modification of habit?
36949He stretches his neck and leans forward as if about to spring, stops, utters a questioning` Cawk?''
36949How came the jackdaw to make its nest on church towers in the first place?
36949In autumn the fruit hangs thick; and what is more exquisite, when gathered from the bough and eaten, as all fruit should be, on the spot?
36949In this imperfect narrative is there not a distorted version of a chapter in the` Pentameron''?
36949Is not` velt''a Northern word for field?)
36949Is this adopted for ease?
36949On the other hand, the doctrine of heredity hardly explains the facts, because how few birds''ancestors can have had experience in cuckoo- rearing?
36949Or what do you say to the meadow by the brook?
36949Several such paths debouch here-- which is the right one to follow?
36949Still irresolute?
36949Surely infallible instinct could have carried them across the space of three inches without any trouble of investigation?
36949Was it not because an old and acquired habit was suddenly uprooted?
36949Was there any kind of feeling that this particular wagtail was more likely to take care of the offspring than others?
36949What is more pleasant than the jingling of the tiny bells on the harness of the cart- horses?
36949What would be the result if this Watling- street of the ants were interrupted?
36949Where had all these birds gone to?
36949Where, then, are they in winter, if the flocks of chaffinches at that period consist almost exclusively of female birds?
36949Who can stay indoors when the goldfinches are busy among the bloom on the apple trees?
36949Why do not blackbirds, and thrushes, go in flocks?
36949Why do they make an aperture so many times larger than they can possibly require?
36949Why is it that they never seem to learn wisdom in placing their nests?
36949Why not go forth to the west, or to the south, where there are hills and meadows and streams in equal number?
36949Why not scatter abroad, and return according to individual caprice?
36949Why, again, do not robins pack?
36949Why, presently, begin to explore, right and left, darting to one side and then to the other examining?
36949Why, then, did they pause?
36949Why, then, does he feed the intruder?
36949Why, to go still further, do rooks manoeuvre in such immense numbers, and crows fly only in pairs?
36949Will you or will you not?
36949and is that the reason why they return to the same locality?
36949what is that clattering?
6430Are the germinal layers composed of cells, and what is their relation to the cells of the tissues that form later?
6430How can we explain this curious anomaly?
6430How does the ovum stand in the cellular theory?
6430Human ovum of twelve to thirteen days(?).
6430Is the ovum itself a cell, or is it composed of cells?
6430The reader will ask:"Where are the mouth and the anus?"
6430What is the relation of the cells to the germinal layers?
6430What, then, is this"organic species"?
6430When we look back on this period we may ask, What has been accomplished during it by the fundamental law of biogeny?

43396O''er yonder lake the while, What bird about that wooded isle, With pendant feet and pinions slow, Is seen his ponderous length to row? 43396 Who is it,"says the Indian,"that causes the rain to rise in the high mountains, and to empty itself into the ocean?
43396And France, without Pascal, Descartes, Diderot, and Montesquieu?
43396And Germany, without Fichte, Hegel, Kant, and Schlegel?
43396And first, why do life and fertility prevail elsewhere,--here, sterility and death?
43396And what are these prairies?
43396And what equality is there between the lordly Tiger of the rank Indian jungles, and the sleek, stealthy Jaguar of the American wilderness?
43396And who knows if the volcanic crater, whose absence at first astonishes the observer, is not the Dead Sea itself?
43396As Emerson says,[182]"It is race, is it not?
43396But whence came the latter?
43396Did our readers ever hear of the Pashiúba, or bulging- stemmed palm?
43396He owes his characteristic epithet of_ syndactylus_ to the fact that the index and middle finger of his hind- feet( or shall I say, hands?)
43396How has he merited so obscure a destiny?
43396In whose favour, in this struggle of science against the elements, will the victory eventually be decided?
43396Is this resemblance a sign of the close relationship existing between two peoples placed, as it were, at the two extremities of the world?
43396Or Italy, without Galileo?
43396This torpid condition, however, was it the effect of confinement or of natural apathy?
43396What could avail against such a scourge?
43396What of the lactiferous and resinous plants?
43396What shall I say of the_ Loris_?
43396What, then, is the origin of the Australians and the Papuans?
43396Whence came these pebbles, which have evidently been''rolled''by the waters?
43396Who among us has not eagerly followed them in their long journeys across the rolling savannahs and through the primeval forests?
43396Who bade the sun Clothe you with rainbows?
43396Who has not listened eagerly, when, seated round the watch- fire, with the calumet to their lips, they have deliberated gravely on peace and war?
43396Who is it that causes to blow the loud winds of winter, and that calms them again in the summer?
43396Who is it that rears up the shade of those lofty forests, and blasts them with the quick lightning at his pleasure?"
43396Who made you glorious as the gates of heaven Beneath the keen full moon?
43396Why does an irrevocable curse seem to weigh upon certain parts of the world, while others rejoice in Nature''s fairest gifts?

26438[ 22] Is it not probable that the best fliers would escape most frequently, or would pine most if kept confined? 26438 [ 52] What does this mean?
26438( 4) If use- inheritance has tamed the rabbit, why are the bucks still so mischievous and unruly?
26438And if use and disuse are the sole modifying agents in the case of the human jaw, why should men have any more chin than a gorilla or a dog?
26438Are we to suppose that the effect of the_ adult_ practice of parents was inherited at this early age?
26438Are we to suppose that the size of the human teeth is maintained by use at the same time that the jaws are being diminished by disuse?
26438But as artificial selection has lengthened the wings in some instances, why may it not have shortened them in others?
26438But could we rely upon the aid of use- inheritance if it really were a universal law and not a mere simulation of one?
26438Does individual improvement transmit itself to descendants independently of personal teaching and example?
26438Does it only transfer the newly- acquired weakness, and not the previous long- continued vigour?
26438How could the transmission of these varied effects to offspring be accounted for?
26438How is it that the subsequent inheritance of these effects has not been more satisfactorily observed and investigated?
26438How then can we rely upon use- inheritance for the improvement of the race?
26438If disuse has shortened them, as Darwin supposes, why has it also thickened them?
26438If injuries are inherited, why has the repeated rupture of the hymen produced no inherited effect?
26438If use- inheritance was not necessary in the case of Handel, whose father was a surgeon, why is it needed to account for Bach?
26438Is it not a significant fact that the alleged instances of use- inheritance so often prove to be self- conflicting in their details?
26438Is it not probable that permanent domestication was rendered possible by the inevitable selection of spontaneous variations in this direction?
26438Is use- inheritance, then, only effective for evil?
26438Under these circumstances how can we be sure of the actual efficacy of use- inheritance?
26438WOULD NATURAL SELECTION FAVOUR USE- INHERITANCE?
26438What will be the ultimate effect of plucking geese''s quills, and of the eider duck''s abstraction of the down from her breast?
26438Where is the necessity for even the remains of the Lamarckian doctrine of inherited habit?
26438Which effect of use does use- inheritance transmit in such cases-- the increased rate of growth, or the dilapidation of the worn- out parts?
26438Why are not the effects of this disuse inherited by the labourer''s infant?
26438Why is the Angora breed the only one in which the males show no desire to destroy the young?
26438Why is there not simultaneous variation in teeth and jaws, if disuse is the governing factor?
26438Why should it be thought incapable of reducing a pigeon''s wing or enlarging a duck''s leg?
26438Why should the non- transmission of that which was not transmitted be surprising?
26438Why then may not the ungainly hind- legs have been shortened by human preference independently of the inherited effects of disuse?
26438Will such modifications be inherited by the offspring of the modified individual?
26438Will the continued shearing of sheep increase or lessen the growth of wool?
26438Would shaving destroy the beard in time or strengthen it?
26438[ 24] How can increased use simultaneously shorten and thicken these bones?
26438_ NATURE SERIES_ ARE THE EFFECTS OF USE AND DISUSE INHERITED?
26438in spite of disuse?
47952And where is Mr. Britisher? 47952 Highty, tighty, that''s it, is it?
47952Oh, you do?
47952Say, was thy little mate unkind, And heard thee as the careless wind? 47952 What is that, uncle?"
47952Whatever_ is_ the matter with you, and what has brought you here this time of day?
47952Worse? 47952 96, 98, 99 Count, Can Animals? 47952 Do you believe it?_Ah!
47952Do you believe it?_"Over and over in a swift repeat.
47952Do you believe it?_"Would that apostleship so sweet were mine!
47952Do you hear me?
47952Do you hear me?
47952Do you hear me?
47952Do you hear me?
47952Now, what is an egg to this egg collector?
47952Shall the law allow these nest- robbers to go on summer after summer taking hundreds of thousands of settings?
47952What better proof could be asked that THE BARN OWL IS NOT A POULTRY DESTROYER?
47952What shall I do?
47952What shall I do?
47952Who shall decide where all pretend to know?
47952Will this man, if he may be called a man, look into his long drawers filled with eggs, and his extra settings for sale and trade?
47952You do n''t mean he has deserted you?"
47952v. 161 Feathers or Flowers?
48876Does not this look as if desire were the operating cause which induces them to unite their labours to construct the one and provide the other?
48876How many varieties of sea- weed have you gathered?
48876How were they produced?
48876Is not this a clear demonstration of the fact, that one hand has designed the whole; and one Creator provided for all?
48876It has often been asked, What does man gain by the study of the sciences?
48876Now, what takes place if a warm, dry, light current of wind blows over the sea, landward?
48876Now, where does all this come from?
48876Of what use to any but man are fire, artificial light, and galvanism?
48876Of what use, to any creature but man, is coal-- of what use the metals?
48876What are the railroads and works of men''s hands compared with this?
48876Who has not heard of the plagues of Locusts and the depredations of the White Ants?
48876Who shall say from whence fuel will then be obtained?
48876who can look upwards at"the spacious firmament on high,"without a sense of his own insignificance?
44582Apart from interferences of this class, are there any that may be reasonably invoked as modifying the course of inheritance?
44582Are we not then on safer ground in regarding the fixity of our species as a property inherent in its own nature and constitution?
44582As the collector passes from the plains to the Alpine region, how will he find the transition from one form to the other effected?
44582But is that what we do find?
44582But whence come the new dominants?
44582But will such analysis cover all or even most of the ordinary cases of specific diversity between near allies?
44582First came the broad question, were the facts of distribution consistent with the Doctrine of Descent?
44582First how did the form under consideration come into existence, and secondly, how did it succeed in maintaining itself so as to become a race?
44582How do they become integral parts of the organism?
44582How is it possible to reconcile these facts with the view that specific distinction has no natural basis apart from environmental exigency?
44582How then does it happen that the body of one of a pair of twins does not show a transposition of viscera?
44582If so, may we again make the same supposition in all similar cases?
44582In its most concrete form this problem is expressed in the question, how does a cell divide?
44582Is it itself a plant of hybrid origin?
44582Is it not time to abandon these fanciful expectations which are never realised?
44582May we suppose that some extinct wild species had them?
44582The first question is what is_ Oenothera Lamarckiana_?
44582The problem would remain, how is the distinctness of the two types maintained in the region of overlapping?
44582To do so is little gain, for we are left with the further problem, whence did those lost wild species acquire those dominants?
44582What is a living thing?
44582What more natural than to suppose that the permanent adaptations have been achieved by inherited summation of such responses?
44582What then are the factors themselves?
44582Whence came all these?
44582Whence do they come?
44582Whence, for example, came the power which is present in a White Leghorn of destroying-- probably reducing-- the pigment in its feathers?
47951Ah, is that you, Mr. Britisher? 47951 Build our nest?"
47951Did you ever see such a vain, silly thing?
47951Do you think you are to do nothing but make calls from morning till night? 47951 Duties?"
47951Have you not seen for weeks past that I have had no thoughts for any girl- sparrow but you, Miss Jenny?
47951So you admit your sex are all gay deceivers, do you? 47951 Think of the many delicious morsels I have laid at your feet, and all I ask in return is----""What?"
47951Will you be my wife, Miss Jenny, the queen of my heart and home?
47951You do n''t say?
47951And what is justice?
47951And who on the globe can be found, Save your generation and ours, That can be delighted by sound, Or boasts any musical powers?
47951Are not we, mankind, thy best- loved and most precious children?"
47951But why, pray, should a bird family wear a uniform, as if a charity school or a foundling hospital?
47951Do n''t you agree with me that a loving home is a very desirable thing?"
47951Do not the insects awake with the flow of the sap?
47951Have your parents been away from home, that you are so lonesome?"
47951He, too, dresses up for courting; and how do you think he does it?
47951I answered,"is that thy only meditation?
47951I approached the woman, and, saluting her with reverence, said:"O mother of us all, on what dost thou meditate?
47951In one place he asks:"What is the earliest sign of spring?
47951Or are there earlier signs in the water, the tortoises, frogs, etc.?"
47951She is not in a hurry to leave her poor mamma, is she?"
47951The flow of sap in trees and the swelling of buds?
47951The motions of worms and insects?
47951Thus music must needs be confest To flow from a fountain above; Else how should it work in the breast Unchangeable friendship and love?
47951When, if ever, do our closet naturalists inspect these lovely objects in their elevated cradle?
47951Who was it that promised me that if I would marry him I should not have a care in the world?"
45731Are not liberty, health, and strength, preferable to effeminacy, sensuality, and voluptuousness, accompanied with slavery?
45731But how can they guard against beings who can seize without seeing, and can destroy without approaching them?
45731But what, in this case, is the use and functions of this very noble and principal part of the body?
45731But, instead of discussing, let us advert to facts: Is the savage inhabitant of the desart a tranquil animal?
45731Can the loss of our savage nature merit regret?
45731Can virtue have subsisted before society?
45731Did this state of ideal innocence, of perfect temperance, of entire abstinence from flesh, of profound peace and tranquillity ever exist?
45731Does not every action cease?
45731Have those animals which we call_ savage_, because they are not subjected to our will, need of aught more to make them happy?
45731How many are there whose existence is, as it were, anticipated?
45731How many flowers are cut down in the spring?
45731How many seeds are annihilated before their development?
45731If prodigious numbers of them were not destroyed, what would be the effects of their prodigious multiplication?
45731If this part is not the principal of motion, why is it so essentially necessary to it?
45731In fact, can it be doubted that those animals, whose organization is similar to ours, must experience similar sensations?
45731In this respect how great is the difference between the civilized man and the savage?
45731In what manner can those men be better employed who, from their situations, are constantly fatigued with company, than in hunting?
45731Is he a happy man?
45731Is it not a fable in which man, like an animal, has been employed to convey moral lessons?
45731Is not the brain to be found in every animal?
45731When compressed, is not all motion suspended?
45731Who can say, if the human species were annihilated, to which of the animals would the sceptre of the earth belong?
45731Why is it proportioned, in every species of animals, to the quantity of sentiment with which they are endowed?
45731Would it be sufficient to recompense the waste by perspiration?
45731and those who are defective in any organ of sense, must they not also be defective in all the sensations which have any affinity thereto?
45731or can man, in a wild state, be considered as a more worthy being than the civilized citizen?
45731what exercise can be more beneficial to the body?
45731what relaxation more agreeable to the mind?
42591But who can resist the silent snow descending as if to lay the world under a soft enchantment?
42591Death?
42591Did the anemones shut their doors or open them wider in view of a feast?
42591Does not the bayberry revive and exhilarate the walker, as smelling- salts restore fainting women?
42591For is not this a song- festival of all the grasshoppers?
42591From what insect despoiler is this shy virgin so carefully hid?
42591Has not the wind whispered daily to it as its silken sail was spread?
42591Here he sat, regarding me in a gentle friendly way and talking to himself in an undertone-- or was he talking to me?
42591How can the impoverished dust of the roadside sustain these burdocks with their incredible leaves?
42591How is it the ancients did not metamorphose the fairest of all nymphs into this tree, so distinctly feminine is its beauty?
42591Is there anywhere a more audacious beauty than the pokeweed in autumn?
42591One can be alone on the mountains and find them friendly, but who would choose to be alone in mid- ocean?
42591Perhaps the birds have not what we call_ feeling_, but if not, why do they express themselves?
42591So much depends upon the point of view; is it a weed on the lawn, or is the lawn but a background for the dandelions which star the grass?
42591Tell me, is there not something heroic in the life of the queen bumblebee?
42591The twinkling dance of the innocent waves-- who can recall the tragedies now?
42591Was this a second exodus or had the move to the walk been merely an expedient until they should find a more suitable place?
42591We may well ask the bobolink, What news from Brazil?
42591Were they aware of the storm?
42591What are Tabriz, Daghestan, Bokhara and the rest to this?
42591What becomes of your flower calendar here?
42591What bird- memories do they cherish of these remote regions?
42591What can be more companionable than the falling snow?
42591What could be more unassuming than goldthread and wood- sorrel?
42591What else would prompt these songs?
42591What friend has the rabbit, the chipmunk or the weasel?
42591What manner of life do they lead indoors?
42591What more attractive these misty days than the deadly amanita-- the"destroying angel"?
42591What place more fitting?
42591What shall fill the place of the wild things when they are swept from the earth?
42591What use has he for the sun?
42591What, then, becomes of all the young?
42591Whence has the bluebird his power, that by the mere_ quality_ of tone he can exert this spell?
42591Where do the birds go in August?
42591Where is the ancient sea which mothered the Rockies?
42591Who can doubt they have some pleasure in this preparation, that they have bird- plans and bird- hopes?
42591Who can hear the wild song of the ouzel and not feel an answering thrill?
42591Who can recall those impressions of the sea which were his as a child-- a relish, a vividness, perhaps never experienced in after life?
42591Who would guess the treasure within these grotesque pods with their long beaks, their spines and wrinkles?
42591Who would imagine now that the swamp was capable of producing anything so exquisite, that it held beneath the ice the seeds of such beauty?
42591Why are not roses weeds as they stand all forlorn before this voluptuous child of the people?
42591Why not tolerate an occasional fox if only to hear him yap, and to have the assurance that there is still this much untamed?
42591Why should not a rabbit gossip with a woodchuck, for instance?
42591Why should not the gods have dwelt on Olympus-- and here in the Rockies as well?
42591and the returning plover, What of the Frozen Sea?
45729Are they distinct and separate parts?
45729Are they merely wrinkles of the vagina?
45729But in what manner is this important sense developed?
45729But why quote barbarous nations, when we have similar examples so much nearer home?
45729Can the pain he suffers last longer than a moment?
45729Do they belong to the membrane of the hymen?
45729Even in attempting thus to trace them, is there not presumption?
45729From what cause should such pain arise?
45729Has he, in the interval of that moment, a succession of ideas so rapid, that he can imagine the pangs he feels are equal to an hour, a day, an age?
45729Have we not forgot every thing that passed during the cloud of infancy?
45729How many cease to be men, or who at least cease to enjoy the faculty of manhood, before the age of thirty?
45729How shall we trace our thoughts back to their origin?
45729How then can such vigilance, such care, be expected from a mercenary groveling nurse?
45729How various are the dispositions, manners, and opinions of different nations?
45729In what manner are our first ideas attained?
45729Is not this a proof, still more evident, that in reality we see things double, and that it is by habit alone we conceive them to be single?
45729Is their number certain?
45729Is there only one, or are there many, in the state of virginity?
45729Might it not be in some measure as follows?
45729Of a man thus circumstanced what would be the first emotions, the first sensations, the first opinions?
45729Shall a man have more genius because he has a better- shaped nose?
45729Shall he have less wisdom because his eyes are little, and his mouth is large?
45729Shall we fix its residence in the soul, or in the body?
45729Should it be asked why females in every climate are capable of engendering more early than men?
45729Should it be asked, why, in the early ages, men lived to 900, 930, and even 960 years?
45729The skin is a substance similar to that of the prepuce; but what relation, in point of growth, can subsist between two so distant parts?
45729Were he himself to give us a detail of his conceptions at this period, how would he express them?
45729What reason then can we have to suppose that the separation of the soul from that body may not be effected without pain?
45729When the soul is originally united to our body, do we experience any extraordinary joy, which delights and transports us?
45729Whence then, shall we trace the origin of these people?
45729Why are the Chinese whiter than the Tartars, whom they resemble in all their features?
45729Why be afraid of that moment which is preceded by an infinity of others of the same kind?
45729Why suffer to be interred with precipitation those persons whose lives we ardently wished to prolong?
45729Why, then, be afraid of death, if our lives have been such as not to make us apprehend the consequences of futurity?
45729Why, though all men are equally interested in the abolition of it, does the practice still subsist?
45729Women who eat much, and exercise little, have the most copious discharge?
45729and whence proceeds the cause of the difference of colour in the human species, since the influence of climate is, in this case, entirely overthrown?
48106But,I persisted,"you may not be alive to- morrow, and I only desire to know why you roosters invariably crow at midnight?"
48106Crow?
48106Did n''t I play that trick cleverly?
48106First, I should like to know-- why, do you intend to come out?
48106Get out of here,screamed the young Shanghai, whom the handsome hen admired,"How dare you come over in my yard?"
48106Have n''t you,I asked, to hide my mirth,"a preference for some of your wives over others?"
48106How many wives have you?
48106Interview me?
48106Is that the reason it has grown so dark? 48106 Louisa Mercedes,"sharply cried the rooster,"how many times have I told you to bridle your tongue?"
48106Now?
48106Trick?
48106Trouble-- how?
48106What business is it of yours what the intentions of this intrusive person may be? 48106 What was that?"
48106Why, how else, I''d like to know, could I have been torn up so? 48106 Will you be quiet, you cackling old hens?"
48106About what do you want to interview me?"
48106But are we so certain about that?
48106But where and how are these three kinds of raw material manufactured into plant food?
48106Does he bathe evermore in the miracle springs, That his wings and his heart are in rhythm when he sings?
48106Does the thrush drink wild honey?
48106How does he find where the young grubs grow-- I''d like to know?
48106How does he know what kind of a limb To use for a drum, or to burrow in?
48106How does he know where to dig his hole, The woodpecker there, on the elm tree bole?
48106How should people brought up in cities know anything of the sacred lives of birds?
48106Of the two evils which confronted me, or rather the baby, which would prove the less?
48106So you intend to turn me out on the cold, cold world some day, do you?
48106Those who have a continual grudge against the English sparrow will say,"Why all this fuss over a miserable little nuisance of a sparrow?"
48106What do females know about war, anyway, especially hens?
48106a nectar distilled From the flowers of the field, that his message is filled With such sweetness?
20818Admitting then the existence of species, and of their successive evolution, is there anything in these ideas hostile to Christian belief?
20818Again, how explain the external position of the male sexual glands in certain mammals?
20818And even if one was so, what chance was there of the perpetuation of such a variation?
20818Are new species now evolving, as they have been from time to time evolved?
20818But are there any theological authorities to justify this view of the matter?
20818But how to obtain the beginning of such useful development?
20818But the question is, how have the highest kinds of animals and plants arisen?
20818But what conceptions does he offer us?
20818But why should not these changes take place suddenly in a state of nature?
20818For how can gemmules attach themselves to others to which they do not normally or generally succeed?
20818How, for example, does it explain the peculiar reproduction which is{ 211} found to take place in certain marine worms-- certain annelids?
20818How, once more, can we conceive the peculiar actions of the tendrils of some climbing plants to have been produced by minute modifications?
20818If it was that of the carinate birds, how did the struthious birds and Dinosauria independently agree to differ?
20818If it was that of the struthious birds, how did the pterodactyles and carinate birds independently arrive at the very same divergent structure?
20818If not, can anything that is positive, and if anything, what, be said as to the question of specific origination?
20818If so, in what way and by what conceivable means?
20818If, then, new species are and have been evolved from pre- existing material, must that material have been organic or inorganic?
20818In face of such a spirit, can it be wondered at that disputants have grown warm?
20818Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending intelligence and will, as these transcend mechanical motion?"
20818Need we point out the contradictions which this position involves?
20818Now even if it were demonstrated that such is really the case, it may be asked, what is"slow and gradual"?
20818Now, if so,"how long would it take to obtain an elephant from a protozoon, or even from a tadpole- like fish?
20818Ought it not to take much more than a million times as long?
20818The one_ modus operandi_ yet suggested having been found insufficient, the question arises, Can another be substituted in its place?
20818The problem then is,"by what combination of natural laws does a new''common nature''appear upon the scene of realized existence?"
20818The question is, what is the cause of this"nutritional balancing"?
20818What do we not owe, for example, to the labours of the Alchemists?
20818What explanation can be offered of these phenomena?
20818What wonder then that such an excessively complex body should divide and multiply; and what parity is there between such a body and a gemmule?
20818[ 46] This process must have continued for ages constantly and perseveringly, and yet what is the fact?
20818_ i.e._ how is an individual embodying such new characters produced?
20818and if individuals alone exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of species?"
7020''Do you perhaps mean,''I asked,''that the fish has symmetrical sides with paired organs?''
7020''When do you wish to begin?''
7020And is not this intellectual and spiritual connection with the Almighty worthy of our deepest consideration?
7020And what are thoughts but specific acts of the mind?
7020At length, on the seventh day, came the question,''Well?''
7020But who is the truly humble?
7020Have those who object to repeated acts of creation ever considered that no progress can be made in knowledge without repeated acts of thinking?
7020He who, penetrating into the secrets of creation, arranges them under a formula, which he proudly calls his scientific system?
7020The afternoon passed quickly; and when, toward its close, the Professor inquired:''Do you see it yet?''
7020To my inquiry,''What shall I do?''
7020What of it, if it were true?
7020With these encouraging words, he added:''Well, what is it like?''
7020Would our great artists have succeeded equally well in Greek or calculus?
10513Are those little eyes of much use in helping the creature to find its dinner?
10513But what are those little moving things which bend this way and that, as if feeling for something?
10513But what does it do in the sea?
10513Can it turn over and crawl away?
10513Can you guess why some sea- weeds are green and others red?
10513Crustaceans have a funny way of growing, have they not?
10513Evidently the Jelly- fish grows, and, in order to live and grow, it must eat; but what does it eat, and how does it obtain its food?
10513Has it a mouth?
10513Have you ever caught a glimpse of the animal living inside?
10513Have you ever opened an Oyster?
10513Have you ever watched him there?
10513Have you ever watched them in a glass tank, or aquarium?
10513Have you noticed how the Mussel anchors himself?
10513How are Lobsters caught?
10513How can it live without a head?
10513How can you tell a live Shrimp from a live Prawn?
10513How do the Starfish and Sea- urchin keep themselves clean?
10513How do you know which is the Black- headed Gull in the summer months?
10513How does it move without legs or fins?
10513How does it obtain its food?
10513How does the Anemone expand its"feelers"?
10513How does the Barnacle obtain its food?
10513How does the Jelly- fish move through the water?
10513How does the Mussel anchor itself?
10513How does the Shrimp swim?
10513How does the Starfish feed on the oyster?
10513How does the Whelk obtain its food?
10513How is the sand formed?
10513If the Mussel is such a stay- at- home, how does he find his food?
10513If you were asked to open an oyster you would need tools, would you not?
10513In what way are sea plants most useful?
10513In what way are the grasses growing on the sand so useful?
10513In what way does the Anemone catch the small animals on which it feeds?
10513In what way might the Anemone be of use to its partner, the hermit crab?
10513Of what use are Shore Crabs?
10513Of what use are Shrimps and Prawns in the sea?
10513Of what use are these strange little pincers or rods?
10513Of what use is the"beard"of the Oyster?
10513Prawns and shore- crabs are not easily seen; why is this?
10513Some are Shrimps, and some are Prawns; how can we tell the difference?
10513The puzzle is, how do they live among so many enemies?
10513Then how do these little creatures grow?
10513This is a strange habit, is it not?
10513Were we not right to call this wonderful mouth the mouth of an ogre?
10513What are those thin ropes of sand coiled up into little mounds?
10513What does it eat, and how does it find food?
10513What does it eat, and how does it find its food?
10513What is a Crab larva like?

22428201- 210 How Instinct may be best Studied Definition of Instinct Does Man possess Instincts?
22428211- 230 Instinct or Reason in the Construction of Birds''Nests Do Men build by Reason or by Imitation?
22428And what do most of us do at the present day but imitate the buildings of those that have gone before us?
22428Are not improved Steam Engines or Clocks the lineal descendants of some existing Steam Engine or Clock?
22428But do these figures at all approximately represent the relative intellect of the three groups?
22428But what proof is given or suggested that this was the mode by which the adjustment took place?
22428Do Birds sing by Instinct or by Imitation?
22428Do they fall in with any other groups of natural phenomena?
22428Do they not teach us something of the system of Nature?
22428Does Nature descend to imposture or masquerade?
22428For are not all inventions of the same kind directly affiliated to a common ancestor?
22428How did such an extraordinary organ come to be developed?
22428How did this arise?
22428How do young Birds learn to build their first Nest?
22428How else, in fact, should they make it?
22428How were all or any of these faculties first developed, when they could have been of no possible use to man in his early stages of barbarism?
22428How, then, could they inlay, or weave, or twist the materials of a nest?
22428If any modifications of structure could be the result of law, why not all?
22428If any varieties of colour, why not all the varieties we see?
22428If some self- adaptations could arise, why not others?
22428Is not the_ à priori_ evidence in favour of an identity of the causes that have produced such similar results?
22428Is the savage really no farther removed from the philosopher, and so much removed from the ape, as these figures would indicate?
22428Is there ever a new Creation in Art or Science any more than in Nature?
22428Now, if the Creator''s mind is like ours, whence this ugliness?
22428The question forces itself upon every thinking mind,--why are these things so?
22428To every thoughtful naturalist the question must arise, What are these for?
22428Was this single island selected for a fantastic display of creative power, merely to excite a childlike and unreasoning admiration?
22428What have the houses of most savage tribes improved from, each as invariable as the nest of a species of bird?
22428What have they to do with the great laws of creation?
22428What is the meaning of this strange travestie?
22428What is there in the life of the savage, but the satisfying of the cravings of appetite in the simplest and easiest way?
22428What thoughts, ideas, or actions are there, that raise him many grades above the elephant or the ape?
22428What we now have to inquire is,--Can this theory be applied in any way to the question of the origin of the races of man?
22428What, I would ask, are we to do with phenomena such as these?
22428What, then, can he use but mud?
22428Why are the Macaws and the Cockatoos similarly restricted?
22428Why are the closely allied species of brown- backed Trogons all found in the East, and the green- backed in the West?
22428Why are the genera of Palms and of Orchids in almost every case confined to one hemisphere?
22428Why does each Bird build a peculiar kind of Nest?
22428Why is this bird so extraordinarily abundant, while others producing two or three times as many young are much less plentiful?
22428Why, as a general rule, are aquatic, and especially sea birds, very numerous in individuals?
22428Wild cats are prolific and have few enemies; why then are they never as abundant as rabbits?
22428Would the area of rock actually laid open to the eye be the thousandth or the ten- thousandth part of the earth''s surface?
22428_ Do Birds sing by Instinct or by Imitation?_ The Hon.
880Did the wind back round, or go about with the sun?
880Do_ I_ look like a bird that knows the flavor of raw vermin? 880 Father of light, what sunnie seed, What glance of day hast thou confined Into this bird?
880As for the birds, I do not believe there is one of them but does more good than harm; and of how many featherless bipeds can this be said?
880But what would you have?
880By what right of primogeniture?
880Can I sign his death- warrant who has tolerated me about his grounds so long?
880Can such an open bosom cover such depravity?
880Could I tax them with want of taste?
880How do they settle their claim to the homestead?
880Or did the nearness of a human dwelling perhaps give the birds a greater feeling of security?
880Would the same thing have happened in the woods?
6321But what is the use of killing one when they are in myriads?
6321He, good man, had reached the summit of his ambition-- he was the chief of his native town; he wore shoes; and what more could he hope for or desire?
6321How is it that vegetation is not eaten off the face of the earth?
6321How was such a spot first chosen for settlement?
6321The ceaseless, toiling hosts impress one with their power, and one asks-- What forests can stand before such invaders?
6321Was it Atlantis, or was it a submerged country in the Pacific?
6321Was that country to the east or the west of the present continent?
6321We would shout to one another,"Do you see this or that?"
6321Why should the one have varied so much and the other so little?
6321how the Spaniards got all their information about heaven; who brought it to them, and if the messenger came down on a rainbow?
48523Are you the best singer among birds?
48523Are you the most graceful and highest flyer among birds? 48523 Are you the most graceful and the highest flyer among birds?"
48523But, my dear,said the snowdrop,"ca n''t you see That summer can do very well without me?
48523Do you know,she said, solemnly,"what kind of a tree this is in which we have put our nest?"
48523Our enemy, the Boa, also hath an eye with a cold stare; is he therefore also a metamorphosed Koko? 48523 Well, and what of that?"
48523What about?
48523What is it, my love; what is it?
4852371 WHAT DO WE OWE THE BIRDS?
48523;( 2) How does it secure cross- pollination?
48523;( 3) How does it discourage the visits of unsuitable insects?
48523Are the returned warmth and the green vegetation all that make the summer months more pleasant than the winter season?
48523Are you still the best vocalist among birds?
48523Can you imagine a world without birds?
48523He says:"Have you heard the song of the Field- Sparrow?
48523How can you tell the age of a fish?
48523How shall we go to work?
48523If the birds take a little for themselves have they not earned it?
48523In a measured and stentorian voice the king asked the following questions of the culprit:"Are you the handsomest of birds?"
48523In studying any flower there are three questions that should be asked:( 1) How does it hinder self- pollination?
48523The eagle once more turned to the Koko- bird and in a terrible voice demanded:"Are you still the handsomest among birds?
48523The king turned to the wise one and said:"How know you that the creature which you beheld in the limpid waters of the Boozoo is the erstwhile Koko?
48523WHAT DO WE OWE THE BIRDS?
48523What is this?"
48523What right have they any more than you, To live in the summer when skies are blue And bright with sunshine the whole long day?
48523What shall we do?"
48523Who knows?
48523Why kill these birds that are so useful to us and so beautify nature?
48523what may not happen next?"
45868Aided by such instruments, how can the operations of Nature be limited?
45868Besides, what a peculiar magnificence from Nature does the earth enjoy?
45868But even in this sense, is not the cause of attraction most evident, and that motion, in all cases, belongs more to attraction than impulsion?
45868If it be asked, how we can then assert that the heat in summer is 66 times grater than that in winter in our climate?
45868In short, if these drops of water could produce this effect why should not the dew- drops, which are also spherical, produce the same?
45868Is it not evident that the innate heat of the globe of the earth is considerably greater than that which comes to us from the sun?
45868Is there any thing which comes nearer to extreme pleasure than grief?
45868Now where shall we be able to discover this great quantity of heat if it be not in the source itself, in the sun alone?
45868Ought we then to consider these two effects whose results are so contrary, as effects of the same nature?
45868Since the sun alone can not maintain organised nature in the nearest planet, how much more aid must it require to animate those at a greater distance?
45868That this sappy part suffered greatly from the frost is an incontestible fact, but has it been entirely disorganized?
45868To the question, how can animated nature, which you suppose every where established, exist in planets of iron, emery, or pumice stone?
45868What then would be the consequence if these sanguinary animals came in numbers, like wolves or jackals, to commit their depredations?
45868What, for example, will be the matter of which Saturn is composed, since its density is more than five times less than that of the earth?
45868Why has there not hitherto been made objective glasses of 243 feet diameter?
45868and who can assign the distance between the lively irritation by which we are moved with delight, and the friction which gives us pain?
45868between the fire which warms and that which burns?
45868between the light which is agreeable to our sight and that which blinds us?
45868between the savour which pleases our taste and that which is disagreeable?
45868between the smell of which a small quantity will at first be agreeable and yet soon after create nausea?
22150And who would have dared to suggest the further doctrine: matter can also feel and get a consciousness of things?
22150Finally, who would have dared even to say: matter can also become a self- conscious and free personality?
22150For where we are no longer able to find secondary causes, who can assert that God no longer uses any?
22150For{ 145} whence does the whole richness of the appearances in the world come?
22150Have they originated from illusions, and do they lead to illusions?
22150He that formed the eye, shall he not see?"
22150How does the material become something that is felt?
22150How therefore, can we look upon such an organ, when finally it is perfect, as a product of selection in the sense of Darwin?"
22150Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending Intelligence and Will, as these transcend mechanical motion?
22150Is there even a single scientific description conceivable without its being full of anthropomorphisms?
22150Now, we ask: Is this biogenetic maxim correct?
22150Now, what is this end?
22150Should, then, the highest instincts of the highest creature on earth alone make an exception?
22150Such a diligent work can certainly not be without gain; but wherein will this gain consist?
22150The three questions are: How has the living sprung from that which is without life?
22150We then could not avoid the question: what, according to the conception of the author, did God do in these six nights of his week of creation?
22150What difference in rank, for instance, is there between an oyster and a cuttle- fish?
22150What else set free those active causes, at the right time and in the right place?
22150What is the demonstrable cause( not the condition, but the cause) of a sentient subject?
22150Where the realm of visible causes ceases and that of the invisible begins, who can exclude secondary causes?
22150Wherein lies the real necessity that there should be sensation?
22150While, therefore, Strauss, to the question,"Are we still Christians?"
22150Why not?
22150Would not a_ beginning_ of mankind be really lost, in case that theory of evolution should gain authority?
22150between a cochineal and a bee or ant?
22150gives an emphatic"No,"he answers the question,"Have we still a religion?"
22150or have we to look for the answer to these questions, which natural science can no longer give, in another science-- namely, philosophy?
22150the sentient( and conscious) being from that which is without sensation?
22150which will more probably be preserved and procreate offspring?

44479-- Is this the last form of unbelief?
44479All is for his use in the lower worlds of plants and animals; then why not use their frame and inner organs also?
44479But who did their works and thought their thoughts?
44479But who is to decide what in the Bible is historical and what is not?
44479But why has physical development ceased at all?
44479Did or did not man descend from the brute or was he specially and divinely created?
44479Evolution is silent when we ask, Whence came these mighty forces?
44479Evolution triumphantly asks, Were they created only in these places?
44479How could man adapt himself by increasing the size of his brain?
44479If it can not be predicated of the animals we see and know, how can it be asserted of a period millenniums ago?
44479If it can not teach correctly the nature of insects and animals, why should it be able to tell us the nature of God?
44479If it is not trustworthy as to facts of this world, why depend upon it as to the other world?
44479If the Bible meant Evolution why did it not give it?
44479If there was a Creator at the origin of life, why not at the origin of all living things?
44479If we can not believe the Bible''s narratives why should we believe its religion?
44479Is it necessary for us to wait twenty years more to reverse our opinions?
44479Is it possible the Biblical view is right after all and that civilized man has been civilized from the outset?"
44479Is it scientific to accept as true an unproven theory and make it the basis of all belief?
44479Max Mueller says,"What do we know of savage tribes beyond the last chapter in their history?
44479Shall we allow the guess as to the origin of the tip of the outer ear to revolutionize theology?
44479Shall we condemn the whole race to a bestial origin on the same evidence?
44479Shall we risk our eternal destiny on the supposed uselessness of the so- called"gill- slits"in premature puppies?

20556Did Buffon''s guarded suggestions have no influence on the young Lamarck?
20556Do you not confound the seminary with the ancient college of Rue Poste de Paris, college now destroyed?"
20556Does not botany, which considers the other series, comprising the plants, offer us, in its different parts, a state of things perfectly similar?
20556How impossible will it be to distinguish and lay down a line beyond which some of the so- called extinct species have never passed into recent ones?"

2300It may well be asked, could such artistically shaded ornaments have been formed by means of sexual selection?
2300It would be no advantage and some loss of power if each sex searched for the other; but why should the male almost always be the seeker?
2300May we then infer that man became divested of hair from having aboriginally inhabited some tropical land?

19192Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man?
19192Have we not here the manifestation of a mind as powerful as prolific?
19192He asks the question, What is Matter?

19192Now, I ask Mr. Darwin himself, what interest has he in maintaining that natural selection is not guided-- not directed?
19192Now, as Darwin says it took millions of years to bring the eye to perfection, how long did it take to render a rudimental wing useful?
19192Or if it is the true self which thinks, what other self can it be that is thought of?
19192Ought not this to satisfy scientific men?
19192So it has been asked, if man can make a telescope, why can not God make a telescope which produces others like itself?
19192That is one thing; but the next thing is, does such a doctrine as that accord either with revelation or with the facts of science?
19192The question is, How are the contrivances in nature to be accounted for?
19192The question, therefore, What is Darwinism?
19192The whole question is, How are we to account for the innumerable varieties, kinds, and genera of plants and animals, including man?

29422When the lisping lips of my young child asked me,"Papa, who made me?"
29422When was this time?
29422Where did he get his qualities?
29422Who are his ancestors?
29422Why can we not see that precisely the reverse is true?
29422Why did I not find this in the preceding case?
29422Why did it happen?
29422Why do we think his present superiority diminished by his lowly origin?
29422Why does he succeed while others fail?
29422Why had I never verified this statement which I had so frequently repeated?
29422Why then should we feel that such beginnings in the lower world are too humble for man?
29422With all his versatility, why should he not succeed?
19321Then comes the question, Why do some live rather than others? 19321 Who is the God to whom we shall offer our sacrifice?
19321_ Now, is not this a most extraordinary situation? 19321 ( Quoted by W. H. Griffith Thomas in_What about Evolution?
19321And did those paws gradually become enlarged, till, after some generations, they were real wings?
19321And how could these organs serve their purpose while the complex instincts required for their functioning were only in course of development?
19321And was not that ancestor probably a wingless, though not a legless mammal?
19321And what becomes of the"ages"of speculative geology?
19321Are we to admit, in the face of all that has been said about the fixity of species( to mention only this), the reasonableness of such an assumption?
19321But do they?
19321But how could a spur be evolved in either sex?
19321But how did Cromwell, Lincoln, Bismarck arise?
19321But what are the facts?
19321But what are the facts?
19321But what happened in the meantime to those connecting links whose wings were but partly developed?
19321But when are the contents of a parent''s mind transmitted to the child?
19321Can anything be more cogent, more conclusive?
19321Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock?
19321Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?
19321Civilization[ tr note: sic] have risen, civilizations have perished: is there in this traceable the working of natural law?
19321Compare all that has been said by scientists themselves about the evolutionary theory, and what remains?
19321Did he attempt to spring into the air and seize a passing insect, and reach out his paws to catch it?
19321Do we find that scientists, though forced to surrender this prop, have given up atheistic evolution?
19321Does it account for the origin of the universe, of life, and of the various forms of life?
19321Does it conform to this scheme?
19321Does orderliness and plan argue for development?
19321For, indeed, what natural law can account for the rise of human institutions, so infinitely diversified in their structure?
19321Has religion so developed?
19321Have we not here a perfect case of what logicians call"reasoning in a circle,"or"begging the question?"
19321He asks, concerning the heavenly bodies:"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
19321How could they arise through natural selection( which is simply_ accident,_ of course), at all?
19321How could they have been produced by evolution?
19321How have they come to be what they are?
19321How then explain the origin and rise of religion?
19321If a special fiat was necessary at this point, why may it not have been at others?
19321In a recent book,_"Creation or Evolution?
19321Is it able to account for those things which it is set forth by its spokesmen to account for?
19321Is it not clear that the same result can not be produced by causes so dissimilar?
19321Is there a demonstrable development, by inherent forces, of human society, from lower to higher ranges of culture?
19321It is an attempt to answer the old question, suggested to the thinking mind by a contemplation of nature:_ Whence_ these things?
19321It is not extremely likely, assuming the development theory to be true, that both the mole and the bat sprang from a common ancestor?
19321Now, how came the bat to acquire his wings?
19321Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?"
19321The question arises: Can such characteristics be transmitted?
19321The question suggests itself, do scientists to- day believe as Darwin did?
19321The questions insistently call for an answer: How could these instincts preserve the animal when they were still in an incipient, undeveloped state?
19321The real question is, What is the nature and the cause of the prevailing order?
19321We now turn to the geologist and ask: How do you determine the age of the strata?
19321We repeat it,--is not this a very, very extraordinary situation?
19321We shall try to answer the question: Is the evolutionary theory entitled to the name of a working hypothesis?
19321What force produced them?
19321What is that?
19321What made this one country boy the most astonishing genius in all the history of literature?
19321What reason has a Christian to surrender his faith on account of the contradiction of scientists?
19321What, in view of this situation, becomes of the evolutionist''s argument from fossils?
19321What, then, is the verdict of history?
19321What, then, remains of the theory?
19321Whence did they evolve?
19321Whence do all things come?
19321Whence is force?
19321Where is one single fact?"
19321Why did they appear in the best place and nowhere else?
19321Yet when is a girl born with ears and nose already pierced?

58867Are you an entomologist?
58867''Well,''he exclaimed as I entered,''what do you think of this great event?
58867Are species fixed in nature?
58867Are species realities in nature?
58867Can we by actual observation determine the particular part of the protoplasmic substance that carries the hereditary qualities?
58867Did the rats of Egypt come, as the ancients believed, from the mud of the Nile, and do frogs and toads have a similar origin?
58867Do insects spring from the dew on plants?
58867Does it also contain some characteristics inherited from grandparents and previous generations?
58867Does life always arise from previously existing life, or under certain conditions is it developed spontaneously?
58867Has the great variety of forms existed unchanged from the days of their creation to the present?
58867Have the functions remained the same through the series?
58867Have they preserved their identity through all time, or have they undergone changes?
58867How is it possible to conceive of all the hereditary qualities being contained within the microscopic germ of the future being?
58867How shall this great diversity of life be accounted for?
58867If so, how far back in the history of the race does unbroken continuity extend?
58867If this position be admitted, the next question would be, What are the factors which have been operative to bring this about?
58867In reply to the question,"Why is the offspring like the parent?"
58867May it not be that all the intermediate stages are also inheritances, and, therefore, represent phases in ancestral history?
58867Schleiden''s Contribution.--Schleiden''s paper was particularly directed to the question, How does the cell originate?
58867The Biblia Naturæ.--It is time to ask, What, with all his talents and prodigious application, did he leave to science?
58867The critical question is, Have these all an individual ancestral form in nature?
58867The discovery of oxygen raises another question: Does prolonged heat change its vitalizing properties?
58867The question is, Are any acquired characters, physical or mental, transmitted by inheritance?

8517( 2) By what means are these effects brought about, what is the physiological explanation of the influence of the gonads on the soma?
8517And then how should we account for the recessive white?
8517Are we to suppose that the upper half of the body or eye had a positive heliotropism and the lower half a negative heliotropism?
8517But how do we know that feathers in their origin were connected with flight?
8517But if this is the case, what is the male condition?
8517But it may be asked, What objection is there to the theory of natural selection as an explanation of adaptations?
8517But since these qualities segregate in the reduction divisions, how is it that the male quality in the_ f_ ovum does not make it a sperm?
8517But this leaves the question, what is lutein and why is it secreted?
8517But what determines the end of the pregnancy?
8517But what is sex but the difference between ovum and spermatozoon, between megagamete and microgamete?
8517Does this metamorphosis take place in the blind_ Drosophila_ of the milk- bottle?
8517He then asks, Through what agency is the environment enabled to act on the germ- plasm?
8517Here arises an interesting question-- namely, how does the hormone theory explain the phenomenon of metamorphosis any better than the mutation theory?
8517How can we suppose that the divisions shall be exactly equal or the growth always the same?
8517How comes it then that the female quality entirely disappears?
8517How then was it evolved?
8517If so, why should not antlers equally develop in the stallion or in the buck rabbit, or indeed in man?
8517In what sense then, can an ovum be male?
8517Is it merely the increasing distension of the uterus by the developing foetus?
8517Mais est- il impossible que malgré la différence de constitution physico- chimiques il soit influencé de la même façon?''
8517Moreover, if it is a mutation, why has it never occurred in any other class of Vertebrates except Mammals?
8517The consideration of the subject involves two questions:( 1) What are the exact effects of the removal of the gonads in male and female?
8517The problem then is, How did these distinct species arise?
8517The question is, what were the unit characters in the parent species?
8517The question remains, therefore, where are the factors of the somatic sex- characters?
8517The question then is, how did these factors arise?
8517The question then to be considered is, what determines parturition and menstruation?
8517They conclude that the interstitial cells supply a nutritive material( hormone?
8517What meaning are we to attach to the words''male ovum''or even''male producing ovum''?
8517What, then, is heredity?
8517Would the fish be any worse off if the lower side were coloured like the upper?
22764And what are varieties but groups of forms, unequally related to each other, and clustered round certain forms-- that is, round their parent- species?
22764As man can produce and certainly has produced a great result by his methodical and unconscious means of selection, what may not Nature effect?
22764But have we any right to assume that things have thus remained from the beginning of this world?
22764But how, it may be asked, can any analogous principle apply in nature?
22764But in the intermediate region, having intermediate conditions of life, why do we not now find closely- linking intermediate varieties?
22764But may not this inference be presumptuous?
22764But what is meant by this system?
22764Can a more striking instance of adaptation be given than that of a woodpecker for climbing trees and for seizing insects in the chinks of the bark?
22764Can the principle of selection, which we have seen is so potent in the hands of man, apply in nature?
22764Do they believe that at each supposed act of creation one individual or many were produced?
22764Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man?
22764How will the struggle for existence, discussed too briefly in the last chapter, act in regard to variation?
22764How, then, comes it that such a vast number of the seedlings are mongrelized?
22764How, then, does the lesser difference between varieties become augmented into the greater difference between species?
22764It may well be asked how is it possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection?
22764Look at a plant in the midst of its range, why does it not double or quadruple its numbers?
22764Now do these complex and singular rules indicate that species have been endowed with sterility simply to prevent their becoming confounded in nature?
22764Now what does this remarkable law of the succession of the same types within the same areas mean?
22764Thirdly, can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection?
22764Were all the infinitely numerous kinds of animals and plants created as eggs or seed, or as full grown?
22764What can be more extraordinary than these well- ascertained facts?
22764What can be plainer than that the webbed feet of ducks and geese are formed for swimming?
22764What now are we to say to these several facts?
22764What reason, it may be asked, is there for supposing in these cases that two individuals ever concur in reproduction?
22764Who can explain why one species ranges widely and is very numerous, and why another allied species has a narrow range and is rare?
22764Why are not all organic beings blended together in an inextricable chaos?
22764Why do we not find great piles of strata beneath the Silurian system, stored with the remains of the progenitors of the Silurian groups of fossils?
22764Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life?
22764Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?
22764Why should not Nature have taken a leap from structure to structure?
22764Why should similar bones have been created in the formation of the wing and leg of a bat, used as they are for such totally different purposes?
22764Why should the brain be enclosed in a box composed of such numerous and such extraordinary shaped pieces of bone?
22764Why should the degree of sterility be innately variable in the individuals of the same species?
22764Why should there often be so great a difference in the result of a reciprocal cross between the same two species?
22764Why should this be so?
22764Why should this be so?
22764Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links?
22764Why, it may be asked, has the supposed creative force produced bats and no other mammals on remote islands?
22764Why, it may be asked, have all the most eminent living naturalists and geologists rejected this view of the mutability of species?
22764Why, it may even be asked, has the production of hybrids been permitted?
22764Why, on the theory of Creation, should this be so?
22764Would the just- hatched young occasionally crawl on and adhere to the feet of birds roosting on the ground, and thus get transported?
22764and in the case of mammals, were they created bearing the false marks of nourishment from the mother''s womb?
22764if that between America and Europe is ample, will that between the Continent and the Azores, or Madeira, or the Canaries, or Ireland, be sufficient?

45708Ai n''t they a sight to see?"
45708Am I on Missionary Ridge or in the Crawford Notch?
45708And had I seen the tower on the hill, she proceeded to ask,--an open iron structure,--and what did I think of_ that_?
45708And how would elderly people live through long evenings if there were no exhilaration in the odd trick?
45708And the next morning, when an enterprising, bright- faced white boy ran up to me with a"''Times,''sir?
45708And was there any reasonable way of living there?
45708But what is bad weather when the time is past?
45708But_ was_ it new?
45708Comparison as between birds so dissimilar is useless and out of place; but how shall a man avoid it?
45708Could he not spare a day to take me about?
45708Could that bird have also a note like the rose- breast''s?
45708Did any one ever suspect the chickadee of such providence?
45708Did he know another redbird, with black wings and tail?
45708Did he mistake them for so many dead trees still standing on their own roots?
45708Do n''t you hear''em?"
45708Does she never remind him, I wonder, that there are some things whose price is far above rubies?
45708Had I never eaten them?
45708Have a''Times''?"
45708Have you seen''em?
45708I say labored and breathless; but, happily, the singer was unaware of his infirmity( or can it be I was wrong?
45708If a native, led away by his wife, perhaps, puts a window into his new cabin, the neighbors say,"Oh, he is building a glass house, is n''t he?"
45708In the duck''s primer one of the first questions is:"What is a man?"
45708Men cut in a rock!--three of''em?
45708Now, for the sake of being neighborly, I asked,"How''s the pig to- day?"
45708Oh yes, there was a creek; but had I anything to drink out of?
45708One day a ragged, bright- faced boy met me at the right moment, and I asked,"Did some one use to live in that house?"
45708Pennsylvany?"
45708Persimmons?
45708Then, addressing General Gordon Granger, he said,''Did you order them up, Granger?''
45708There must be some wrennish quality about the Bewick''s song, it would seem: else how did I recognize it so promptly?
45708Was it accessible?
45708Was there a spring near by, where I could drink?
45708Was there ever a man who did not take it as a matter of course that he should be wiser than the"lower animals"?
45708What could_ he_ be fussing about in so unlikely a quarter?
45708What did it look like?"
45708What did she think of me, who had come all the way from Massachusetts?
45708What dog would hunt if there were no excitement in overhauling the game?
45708What had they to do with weather that makes a man hurry?
45708What mattered it that all these men had perished, as it seemed, before their time?--that so many of them were lying in nameless graves?
45708What more need be said?
45708Where could the fellow have picked up such a ditty?
45708Where is it?
45708Where''s the gun?
45708Whether is better, to read two good books once, or one good book twice?
45708Who says that life is an old story?
45708Who would not love to hear the music of all our birds a few millions of years hence?
45708Would he tell me something about the country, especially about the roads, so that I might improve my scanty time to the best advantage?
45708Yet she had but a vague idea of where Massachusetts was, I fancy; for pretty soon she asked,"Where did you say you was from?
47990But surely,I said,"you must know these that are so common-- these little blue flowers, for instance, what do you call them?"
47990Do you mean that?
47990Do you not then see anything to admire in it?
47990He said it were a hundred years since he saw me-- now what did parson mean by that?
47990How far is it to Zennor?
47990I wonder,he wrote,"did you see much of the marvellous migration scene which took place here on Friday morning?
47990I wonder,said I,"what has become of the others?
47990What are those?
47990What does this mean?
47990What would you get,I asked them,"if one of the men caught you stoning the gulls?"
47990What, then, did you have them in your pockets for?
47990Why, Billy, whatever have you got there?
47990Ai n''t they pretty?"
47990And what do the landlords git?
47990And why had he not been warned?
47990Being on the land, what else could he be?
47990But what about the charge?
47990But what are the facts of the case as to the condition of Cornwall, with regard to drunkenness, before its conversion to Methodism?
47990But who was Mr. Ebblethwaite, and what was it he did about the gulls?
47990But who, beyond the line or two, has ever in verse or prose said anything in praise of the furze?
47990But you ca n''t have something for nothing, can you?
47990Did any of them town idlers, them that worked a day or two once a week or month-- did they knaw what the land gave?
47990Did they knaw what''tis to git up before dawn every day, Sundays as well, and work all day till after dark, all just for a bare living?
47990Here there are great blocks and slabs of granite which have been artificially hollowed into basins-- for what purpose, who shall say?
47990I wonder if it''s some very old pilchards they''ve found stowed away in some corner?"
47990Now can you tell me what bird was that?"
47990Shall they refuse to take any good thing he chooses to send them?
47990The others were silent for a little, and then one said,"Do you think it wise to say much about everlasting punishment at the present juncture?"
47990The question, Did the Cornish people have a sense of humour?
47990They may appear equally inconsistent-- the Somerset man and the Cornishman-- but can we say that one is morally worse than the other?
47990To live without work?
47990Was there a particle of truth in it?
47990What are they, these other islands, and what do we know of them?
47990What did they think they''d get?
47990What do they mean, then, by saying the land will pay?
47990What is the reason of this?
47990What will happen now?
47990What, then, did they expect?
47990Who''s to pay for it then?
47990Why are the Cornish more temperate than others?
47990Will it?
47990With regard to honesty it is one I always hear with surprise; for can it be said that we are as a people honest?
47990what are those fellows making such a to- do about-- down there on that chimney- pot?
45602Air and water, are they rectangular and equilateral triangles?
45602Are not we dependent on our sensations?
45602Are we better acquainted with the effects of Nature, from being told that nothing is made without a reason, or that all is made in view of perfection?
45602Are we less certain of being always affected in the same manner by the same causes?
45602Besides, from whence does this juice proceed?
45602Besides, is it certain that this mixture is made?
45602Besides, what can be more false than such suppositions?
45602But if this is true, why, in whole provinces, does this crystalline juice form only stone, and in others nothing but flint?
45602But of what nature is this matter which the animal or vegetable assimilates with its own substance?
45602But this idea is only a project, and if properly founded, have we the means of performing it?
45602But what do they explain to us by this answer?
45602Can a triangular harmony form the substance of the elements?
45602Can we receive this as a solution?
45602Do the male and female embrace only to complete the triangle of generation?
45602From hence is it not plain that abstractions can never become principles, neither of existence nor real knowledge?
45602From whence do they arise?
45602Has it not been pretended that the female did not furnish any fluid of this kind?
45602Have not our sensations an invariable order of existence, and a necessary relation between them and the objects?
45602If it is asked, why animals and vegetables reproduce?
45602If it produces stone and flints, what is it that produces this juice?
45602Is fire, as Plato affirms, an acute triangle, and light and heat properties of this triangle?
45602Is it difficult to discover that our ideas proceed only from our senses?
45602It has often been asked, why volcanos are all met with at the top of mountains?
45602Must not the winds and the natural current of the waters towards the Bosphorus, convey thither a part of these matters?
45602The question is asked, how one body produces its like?
45602The second question, What can be the active power which causes this organic matter to penetrate and incorporate itself with this internal mould?
45602The second question, Whether the female has really a seminal liquor similar to the male?
45602The third question, Is it not by a similar power the internal mould itself is reproduced?
45602This sea receives eight or ten great rivers, and as most of them bring sand and mud, must it not gradually be choaked up?
45602What do they represent?
45602What is this sufficient reason?
45602What properties, what harmony, and what correspondence between the various parts?
45602What variety of springs, what forces, and what mechanical motions are enclosed in this small part of matter which composes the body of an animal?
45602When we ask how beings are multiplied?
45602Why do trees, dogs,& c. exist?
45602Why should we be confined to employ only the power of impulsion?
45602Why should we exclude them from the explanations of effects, which we are convinced they produce?
45602Will they say, that the two soils are not of a like age, and that this juice has not had time to circulate and complete the end of its natural action?
45602Would not this be one mode by which reproduction may be performed?
45602and for the same reason similar beings in the female?
45602and if such a power does exist, must it not be similar to that by which the internal mould itself would be produced?
45602are they not arbitrary relations which we have generalized?
45602are they not moral beings created by intellects purely human?
45602but how void and destitute for speculation?
45602on what are they founded?
45602shall we ever discover any thing by this mode of explanation?
45602that the things we look on as real and existing are those of which our senses have always rendered us the same testimony?
45602that those which we conceive to have certain existence are those which ever present themselves in the same order?
45602what can be the nature of that power which gives it the activity and necessary motion to penetrate the internal mould?
45602what is this perfection?

32800Now, if the hypothesis be deemed absurd that the Bat had been immured in the vault since 1748, how then are we to account for its presence there? 32800 Though I should be very glad to take shelter under the convenient_ Quien sabe_?
32800Two Pigeons out of Ceis Corann, Two Blackbirds out of Leitir Finnchoill, Two black Birds(?) 32800 [ 159] Does he not, then, credit his informant?
32800''Well,''said the listener to his account,''but are you sure that the Toad was alive when you found it?''
32800And what enormous mass is suddenly thrust up out of the quiet water of yonder igaripé?
32800And_ why did_ it remain there so quietly, while the bark gradually grew over its prison- house?
32800Are not these insects entirely gratuitous?
32800Are the Grasses worthy of mention for their beauty?
32800But have we nothing better for this conclusion than an assumption of the possibility, and a more or less probable conjecture?
32800But how?
32800But in either case the question arises, why are they torpid during these the hottest months of the year?
32800But is it likely that the Peacock and the Pheasant(_ vide supra_) were imported from the East so early?
32800But of this sort of beauty, perhaps nothing can excel the gemmeous green, changing to azure, of_ Papilio Ulysses_, or that of_ Apatura(?)
32800But what is the value of a hypothesis,--so far as its claims to solve this question are concerned,--which will not touch these cases?
32800But what of our own land?
32800Can this be called hybernation, as it is usually understood?
32800Can_ these_ live for years shut up from light and food and air?
32800Did any of them reach to the as yet insular Europe, settling themselves along the margins of its deep gulfs and draining basins?
32800Do the Swallows hybernate?
32800Had I not seen her picture?
32800Had the mice, seen by Mr Pullen, had the frog, young ones to protect?
32800Had, then, all that divinely- formed loveliness been mere waste for those generations?
32800How did the birds obtain food during the three weeks of bitter cold weather when they were not seen in October?
32800I ask_ what_, and_ whence_, and_ why_, this strange impulse that overcomes the first of all instincts, the prime law of self- preservation?
32800Is it not just possible that the_ Geilt_ of Ireland, the first- named animal in the poem, may have been this species?
32800Is not our own little goldfinch, is not the pert chaffinch that comes up to our very feet for a grain or a crumb, a pretty object?
32800Is there a definite limit to life imposed at first?
32800Is there any such power?
32800Is there such a thing as''fascination?''
32800May the word refer to two of these bearing the same name, but the one distinguished by the term_ fleet_?
32800My informant measured the diameter[_ qu._ circumference?]
32800No doubt, however, they do migrate; but is this true of the entire body, or only of a portion?
32800Once more,--Is there any substratum of truth underlying these fancies?
32800Or are lizards included in the category of"soft insects and annelides?"
32800Or had it come to years of discretion, when it took that unfortunate step, or rather crawl, into the cavity where it was so long to be imprisoned?
32800Or is there any marine animal uniting so much of the general form of the fish with that of man as to have given the conception of the idol?
32800Or is there some other cause of torpidity besides mere cold?
32800Or the squirrel mentioned by Kalm?
32800Perhaps both: but if the latter, what are those circumstances?
32800Quis enim eximiam earum pulchritudinem et varietatem contemplans mira voluptate non afficiatur?
32800Seba''s Museum-- His"Thesaurus"-- Figures of Curious Serpents-- What could they have been?
32800The question now arises, Was the Toad_ young_ when it got into the hollow?
32800Was the mythological symbol the origin of the persuasion?
32800We certainly see them only occasionally: where are they on the days on which they do not appear,--days extending to several consecutive weeks?
32800We may therefore ask, when are these sleepers to awake?
32800We must suppose the Toad to have got into the tree when within a foot from the ground: how many years old then must the animal be?"
32800Were these Bisons?
32800What becomes of our swallows in the winter?
32800What becomes of them?
32800What did they find here?
32800What has become of the terrible Uri which lived in Europe at the commencement of the Christian era?
32800What have we parallel to this in the whole range of natural history?
32800What shall we say to the Argus Pheasant, the bird of Malacca with the magnificent pinions?
32800What should he do in such a case?
32800What, then, shall we say to an indefinite prolongation of life under like dreary conditions in--_Bats_?
32800When did their life-- their species- life-- terminate?
32800Whence did the kings of Toluca obtain the young tree, or the seed?
32800Where, in each case, was the excrement corresponding to such an augmentation?
32800Who knows what might be found if a clever insect- hunter were to go stone- turning on the peaks of Ararat?
32800Who that has seen a pet fawn coming to be caressed by a fair girl, but must have had his sense of the beautiful gratified?
32800Who will undertake to decide the point in this manner?
32800Why have these late appearances been more remarked this year than other years?
32800Why is there only one tree of the kind?
32800Why not, however, if it rains snails, frogs, fishes, and feathers?
32800Why then, I ask, should we deny that to be possible with the Bat, which we so readily concede to be an occurrence by no means unusual with the Toad?
32800Would not the slaughter of such a"Dun Cow"as this in single combat have been an exploit worthy of a doughty earl?
32800[ 42] What is the difference between wild Boars and wild Hogs?
32800_ But how did the fox know that such a result would follow?_ The same gentleman gives, from his own observation, a case that is more to the point.
32800_ C''est le premier pas qui coûte._ After the first year has passed so auspiciously, why may not a second?

32800a third?
32800and did it grow after it became a prisoner?
32800and so indefinitely-- under circumstances peculiarly favouring?
32800he rears himself up against the tree; is he about to essay the scaling?
32800or is it merely one of the many myths with which popular natural history is still burdened, and which it is the province of real science to explode?
32800or is this limit left, so to speak, to be determined by accidental circumstances?
32800or must they be unhesitatingly dismissed to the region of fable?
32800or the eel in the drain?
32800or the mouse seen by Le Vaillant?
32800these great- chested, well- lunged, warm- blooded, aerial quadrupeds?
60041And which place do you like best?
60041Ca n''t you tell''em how to get to it?
60041What are you going to do with the fruit?
60041A middle- aged man was digging about thirty yards away, and to him one of the women now called,"Can you tell them the way to Priors Dean?"
60041And the wheat bread you gits from the shop, what''s it good for?
60041And what is the secret of the custom in this, and probably other villages, of putting the dead so close to or under the shelter of the tree?
60041And what''s the good of doing it if the wine''s not good enough for people to drink?
60041And what, we should like to ask of our masters, is a British wild flower?
60041And whom are we to ask?
60041Are there mental characteristics, too, that are"mutually exclusive"?
60041As old Langland wisely says: For by luthere men know the good; And whereby wiste men which were white If all things black were?
60041But how does the fact of pre- natal suggestion help us to get the true meaning of such a phenomenon as fascination?
60041But how long after White''s time did that flower run wild in Hampshire?
60041But when was it introduced, and what is its range?
60041Can we call him a singer at all?
60041For how had they got there?
60041Has it not been said that love itself is an argument in favour of immortality?
60041He says he were passing and felt a sort of smell about-- would you mind letting him come in just to have a sniff round?
60041He turned up two spadefuls of earth, then asked again,"Priors Dean?"
60041How many hundreds of times, I wonder, must this lesson be repeated before the young grebe finds out how to keep and to kill?
60041If the insects named as our best are rare and local, or at all events not common, what shall we say of our cicada?
60041In a letter to Procter, from Milan, 1824, he wrote: And what else have I seen?
60041Is it not amazing that these familiar, large, showy, and striking- looking insects have no common specific names with us?
60041Is it possible to believe, they say, that this beautiful sacred flame can be darkened for ever when soul and body fall asunder?
60041It may be a poor unspiritual sort of religion, based on old traditions and associations, mostly local; but shall we scorn it on that account?
60041One was the presence, very close to the nest, of the ejected nestling-- what would the parents do in the case?
60041These iron ranges and stoves we have now-- what''s the good o''they?
60041What effect has the new vast building, with its highly decorated yet cold and vacant interior, on their dim minds-- on their religion, let us say?
60041What is the reason of this leanness?
60041What was it now?
60041What, one asks, is the jay doing in such company?
60041What_ do_ they think?
60041When he had had his long gaze, he said,"Priors Dean?"
60041Why was it, I asked him, that he was the only man of his village I had seen with the colour of red blood in his face?
60041Yet the body had been long devoured and digested; and there was only this fragment left, and, torn off with it, shall we say?
60041[ Sidenote: A British species?]
60041[ Sidenote: Racial differences] If the critical reader asks what is here meant by"variety,"what should I answer him?
60041or if he be not silent, as some think, will he ever be more to us than a figure and descriptive passage in a book-- a mere cicada of the mind?
60041why did they look so unwholesome generally?
60041why were the women so thin, and the children so stunted{ 227} and colourless?
60041{ 194} Did we think this art, or this custom, too little a thing to cherish any longer?

23667Just as alive as an Indian?
23667Know you the Twelfth Secret of the Woods?
23667Know you what walked around your tent on that thirtieth night of your camp out?
23667Little boy or girl, are you all alive?
23667Mother Carey said gravely,"Do you think you could stand it, little worm?
23667Nana- bo- jou said:"Little voice, where are you?
23667Now what is the Sky Medicine?
23667Now what would ye?"
23667Now who will be strike- breakers and volunteer to supply the music till the birds get once more in a good humour?"
23667One morning a sly old Brownie, really making fun of him, said:"Why do n''t you catch that Phoebe- bird?
23667Our Department of Agriculture may declare war on the Sparrow; but what is the use?
23667TALE 12 Butterflies and Moths Do you remember the dear old fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast?
23667TALE 2 The Story of the White Dawnsinger or How the Bloodroot Came Have you noticed that there are no snow- white birds in our woods during summer?

23667Tell me, my child, can you see the pappoose?"
23667That pussy- willow?"
23667The Dragon looked puzzled, and the Toad said,"Have you?"
23667The last test is: Can you lace your shoes in the dark, or blind- folded, finishing with a neat double bow knot?
23667The little ugly creatures whispered together, then one said:"Mother Carey, if we drink, will it give us beauty?"
23667The old Indian woman''s eyes were fixed on the new plant that was good to eat: and she said,"Is it very good, oh white sister?"
23667The wise old Indian said,"Oh, white man, where do you spend your days?"
23667The"red"part of the name is right, but why"Admiral"?
23667The_ tuk- ut- e- ah- tuk_ means,"Bless my soul, what is that?"
23667Then as the Cicada ceased, Mother Carey said to the Green Hopper, whose name was Katy,"Now, Katy, what can you do?"
23667Then he met the Medicine Man and said to him,"Can you help me?"
23667Then, after a pause he added,"Mother, what is its tail for?
23667There they prayed,"Dear Mother Carey, we are not of an ugly race, why should we be so ugly as caterpillars?
23667Turning to one, he says:"Who are you and what can you dance?"
23667Was n''t he crazy?"
23667What do you expect but evil?
23667Where are you?"
23667Where did the Woolly- bear come from?
23667Which happens to be true; and makes us ask: Why does a Dog wag his tail to mean friendship?
23667Why does the Quaking Asp do this?
23667Why is it so big and fluffy?
23667Why should we quarrel?
23667Why?
23667Why?
23667Will you marry me?
23667Will you not make us beautiful, for beauty is one of the best things of all?"
23667Will you not protect us?"
23667Wo n''t you give me a job?
23667Wo n''t you give me some little power?"
23667Wo n''t you give us a little job all our own, our very own, for we long to be doing something?"
23667Would n''t you like to have wings so you could fly over the tree- tops, like the Eagle?"
23667Would you like there to be no rain?"

7234And what is it that makes us familiar with them?
7234Are all mutations to be considered as limited to such periods?
7234Are the older ones now in a better condition than at the outset?
7234Are these types to be considered as elementary species, or only as individual differences?
7234Are they to be expected to be equal to the unique quality of the parent, or perhaps to be the same as the average of the whole unselected race?
7234Are we to conclude therefore that the main strain has died out?
7234But what is a prototype?
7234But why should they have done so, especially in cases of recent changes?
7234Could it be affected to such a degree as to gradually lose the inactive quality, and cease to be a double race?
7234Could not the plants of the second locality have arisen from seeds transported from the first?
7234Could the mutation be repeated?
7234ELEMENTARY SPECIES LECTURE II ELEMENTARY SPECIES IN NATURE What are species?
7234Had it been present, though dormant in the original sample of seed?
7234Had it commenced to mutate after its introduction into Europe, some time ago, or was it already previously in this state?
7234Had the germ of the mutation lain hidden through all this time?
7234Have they done so?
7234Have they really been gradually improved during the centuries of their existence?
7234How long had it been so?
7234How many different conceptions are conveyed by the terms constancy and variability?
7234How may this character have originated?
7234How[ 568] great is the chance for a single individual to be destroyed in the struggle for life?
7234If a distinct mutation from a given species is once possible, why should it not occur twice or thrice?
7234If we are right in this general conception, we may ask further, what is to be the exact place of our group of new evening- primroses in this theory?
7234In other words, would it have been possible to attain an average of 20 rows in a single experiment?
7234Is it the minute inspection of the features of the process in the case of the evening- primroses?
7234Is it the systematic study of species and varieties, and the biologic inquiry into their real hereditary units?
7234Is the mutability of our evening- primroses temporary, or is it a permanent condition?
7234Is the number of such germs to be supposed to be limited or unlimited?
7234It has frequently succeeded for practical purposes, why should it not succeed as well for purely scientific investigation?
7234Now who can assure us that the single root of a given beet is an average representative of the partial variability?
7234Or are we to base our hopes and our methods on broader conceptions of nature''s laws?
7234Or can the same mutation have been repeated at different times and in distant localities?
7234Or had an entirely new creation taken place during my continuous endeavors?
7234Or is it perhaps concealed among the throng, being distinguished by no peculiar character?
7234Or is the theory of descent to be our starting- point?
7234Perhaps as their more or less immediate result?
7234The first point, is the question, which seeds become double- flowered and which single- flowered plants?
7234Was it to be ascribed to some latent cause which might be operative more than once?
7234Was the observed mutation to be explained by a common cause with the other cases recorded by field- observations?
7234Was there some hidden tendency to mutation, which, ordinarily weak, was strengthened in my cultures by some unknown influence?
7234What are species and what are varieties?
7234What are the links which bind them together?
7234What has to be ascertained on such occasions to give them scientific value?
7234What is to guide us in the choice of the material?
7234What is to guide us in this new line of work?
7234When and how did it originate?
7234Why then are they not met with more often?
7234Will all of them do so, or only part of them, and how large a part?
7234Will they keep true to the reverted character, or return to the characters of the plant which bears the retrograde branch?
7234Would it be possible to obtain any imaginable deviation from the original type, and to reach independency from further selection?
7234Would the race become changed thereby?
6164A shifting of the plane of the wings would, however, in all probability, give some impetus: the question is, would it be sufficient?
6164Almost too idle to rise, they arch their backs, and stretch their legs, as much as to say, Why trouble us?
6164And thunder-- how does thunder sound under the surface?
6164And what, oh blindest of the blind, do you imagine has become of the remaining four hundred and fifty?
6164Angles and wheels, cranks and cogs, where are they?
6164Are they dead?
6164Are"horse- stepple"and"stabbling"purely provincial, or known in towns?
6164At what price?
6164But see-- can it be?
6164Did he conclude he had a right to take what others only asked or worked for?
6164Did he dimly claim the rights of strength in his mind, and arrogate to himself the prerogatives of arbitrary kings?
6164Do the particles of water, as they brush his sides and fins, cause a sound, as the wind by us?
6164Does any one sorrow for the rook, shot, and hung up as a scarecrow?
6164Does he hear the stream running past him?
6164Does this reverie of flowers and waterfall and song form an ideal, a human ideal, in the mind?
6164Had they left her alone, would it have been any different?
6164Has your precious folly extinguished them?
6164Her brother Bill talked and threatened-- of what avail was it?
6164How are these people to be got at?
6164How are you going to capture people who blow themselves into atoms in order to shatter the frame of a Czar?
6164How is it to be distributed and placed in the hands of the people?
6164How should he sell any, pray, when he does not put the right sort into his window?
6164I wonder whether the man ever thought, as he reposed at noontide on a couch of grass under the hedge?
6164IV PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION When you have got your village library ready, how is it to be sold?
6164If so, why should not other books adapted to the villager''s wishes be on sale at a similar price in the country?
6164Is not theirs the preferable portion?
6164Is not this the most seductive of all characters in women?
6164Now, has not the farmer, even if covered by insurance, good reason to dread this horrible incendiarism?
6164Of course in winter it often happens that a flock of wild- fowl alight in passing; but how long do they stay?
6164Presently some one will ask,"Have you found a wicker''s nest?"
6164Put suddenly face to face with the transparent material which repelled him, what was he to think?
6164So, too, the summer days; the sun rises on the same grasses and green hedges, there is the same blue sky, but did we ever have enough of them?
6164That was all he knew of the Caesars: the apples were in fine bloom now, were n''t they?
6164The barrack- like Hotel des Invalides, the tomb of Napoleon-- was ever a tomb so miserably lacking in all that should inspire a reverential feeling?
6164The little lawn beside the strawberry bed, burned brown there, and green towards the house shadow, holds how many myriad grass- blades?
6164The marble tub in which the urn is sunk, the gilded chapel, and the yellow windows-- could anything be more artificial and less appropriate?
6164The next point is, Where does he hover?
6164The petty ripples of the Adriatic, what were they?
6164The real question is, how many breed?
6164The stoop, the dress which clothed, but responded to no curve, the sunken breast, and the sightless eye, how should he recognise these?
6164Three words, and where is the thought?
6164Venice has been made human by poet, painter, and dramatist, yet what was Venice to this-- this the Fact of our own day?
6164Was he not satisfied even yet?
6164What can be more explicit, and at the same time so aggravating, as to be told that you are a"mix- muddle"?
6164What have the sober mass of the working class to do with it?
6164What then is the cause?
6164What was the use of compelling him to do that?
6164What was there in Venice to arouse thoughts such as spring from the sight of this red bowsprit?
6164Where are the water- fowl?
6164Where is the kingfisher?
6164Where soon will be the water- lilies?
6164Who can doubt that the wild fowl come south because the north is frozen over?
6164Who knows what big processes of reasoning, dim and big, passed through his mind in the summer days?
6164Why are the rooks afraid of the little boy with the clapper?
6164Why did not the father interfere?
6164Why does not a painter come here and place the real romance of these things upon canvas, as Venice has been placed?
6164Why is the basking jack off the instant he hears the light step of a man?
6164Why omit fifty years from the picture?
6164Why, then, does the crow live on?
3704Any fish can you do us the favour of giving?
3704( who knows?)
3704--"Any bread?"
3704--"Any dried meat?"
3704--"Any soup?"
3704--"Quien sabe?
3704A question often occurred to me-- how long does any vestige of a fallen tree remain?
3704Again, on what have the reef- building corals, which can not live at great depths, based their encircling structures?
3704Amongst many other questions, he asked me,"Now that George Rex is dead, how many more of the family of Rexes are yet alive?"
3704And what are the boasted glories of the illimitable ocean?
3704And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt?
3704And will not the manner of its descent proclaim throughout the district to the whole family of carrion- feeders, that their prey is at hand?
3704But it may yet be asked, how has the solid basalt been removed?
3704But what has caused these reefs to spring up at such great distances from the shores of the included islands?
3704Can we believe that any power, acting for a time short of infinity, could have denuded the granite over so many thousand square leagues?
3704Captain Sulivan, who, since his voyage in the"Beagle,"has been employed on the survey of the Falkland Islands, heard from a sealer in( 1842?
3704Did man, after his first inroad into South America, destroy, as has been suggested, the unwieldy Megatherium and the other Edentata?
3704Do the very numerous spiders and rapacious Hymenoptera supply the place of the carnivorous beetles?
3704Do they mistake a man in the distance for their chief enemy the puma?
3704Does it not arise from the difficulty of several females associating together, and finding a male ready to undertake the office of incubation?
3704Does the black fetid mud, abounding with organic matter, yield the sulphur and ultimately the sulphuric acid?
3704Does this not partly explain the circumstance?
3704Have the subsequently introduced species consumed the food of the great antecedent races?
3704Have the succulent, salt- loving plants, which are well known to contain much soda, the power of decomposing the muriate?
3704He added,"I have one other question: Do ladies in any other part of the world wear such large combs?"
3704His brother said( York imitating his manner),"What that?"
3704How can this faculty be explained?
3704I asked,"Are they Indians?"
3704I assured them I was a sort of Christian; but they would not hear of it-- appealing to my own words,"Do not your padres, your very bishops, marry?"
3704I suggested this; but all the answer I could extort was,"Quien sabe?"
3704In another elegant little coralline( Crisia?)
3704Is it not an uncommon case, thus to find a remarkable degree of aerial transparency with such a state of weather?
3704Is it not most wonderful that men should have attempted such operations, without the use of iron or gunpowder?
3704Is it not possible that the mixture of large bodies of fresh and salt water may disturb the electrical equilibrium?
3704Is this owing to the state of the body during sleep, or to a greater abundance of miasma at such times?
3704It was laughable, but almost pitiable, to hear him speak to his wild brother in English, and then ask him in Spanish("no sabe?")
3704Might it not thus readily be overlooked?
3704Mr. Bushby has allowed him to finish his discourse, and then has quietly replied by some answer such as,"What else shall your slave do for you?"
3704Must we believe that it was fairly pitched up in the air, and thus turned?
3704My companions knew nothing about them, and only answered my queries by their imperturbable"quien sabe?"
3704On what then, I repeat, are these barrier reefs based?
3704Or does curiosity overcome their timidity?
3704Secondly, what causes the length and narrowness of the bands?
3704Sir F. Head, speaking of the inhabitants, says,"They eat their dinners, and it is so very hot, they go to sleep-- and could they do better?"
3704They asked me,"Why do you not become a Christian-- for our religion is certain?"
3704Was he at a loss how to classify them, and did he consequently think that silence was the more prudent course?
3704Was this effect produced beneath the depths of a profound ocean?
3704We here have the puzzle that so frequently occurs in the case of musquitoes-- on the blood of what animals do these insects commonly feed?
3704Well may one be allowed to ask, What is an individual?
3704What can be more singular than these structures?
3704What cause can have altered, in a wide, uninhabited, and rarely- visited country, the range of an animal like this?
3704What is the cause of this difference in their shyness?
3704What other troops in the world are so independent?
3704What shall we say of the extinction of the horse?
3704What would a florist say to whole tracts, so thickly covered by the Verbena melindres, as, even at a distance, to appear of the most gaudy scarlet?
3704What would become of the lofty houses, thickly packed cities, great manufactories, the beautiful public and private edifices?
3704What, it may naturally be asked, was the character of the vegetation at that period; was the country as wretchedly sterile as it now is?
3704What, then, has exterminated so many species and whole genera?
3704When I exclaimed that this appeared rather inhuman, he answered,"Why, what can be done?
3704When an animal is killed by the sportsman in a lonely valley, may he not all the while be watched from above by the sharp- sighted bird?
3704Where would one of the lower or higher classes in Europe have shown such feeling politeness to a poor and miserable object of a degraded race?
3704Which of us, for instance, could follow an American Indian through a sentence of more than three words?
3704Whilst beholding these savages, one asks, Whence have they come?
3704Who can doubt that these qualities are united in the banana, the cocoa- nut, the many kinds of palm, the orange, and the bread- fruit tree?
3704Who from seeing choice plants in a hothouse can magnify some into the dimensions of forest trees, and crowd others into an entangled jungle?
3704Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilised country?
3704Who would ever have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark?
3704Why have not the still more level, the greener and more fertile Pampas, which are serviceable to mankind, produced an equal impression?
3704Why, then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have these arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory?
3704Why, with their wide and deep moat- like channels, do they stand so far from the included land?
3704Would he not attribute it to a flood having swept over the surface of the land, rather than to the common order of things?
3704Yet the host of this vênda, being asked if he knew anything of a whip which one of the party had lost, gruffly answered,"How should I know?
3704or did a covering of strata formerly extend over it, which has since been removed?
45639And if any individual possessed a superior genius, would it not take an opportunity to manifest that superiority in its actions?
45639And why does not one individual perform them better or worse than another?
45639And with regard to our internal sense, has it any thing similar or in common with these external organs?
45639And would not super- foetation be as frequent as they now are scarce, or as natural as they appear to be accidental?
45639Besides why should the calmar alone have machines in its seed, whereas every other animal has spermatic worms, and real animals?
45639Besides, continue they, have we not very frequent examples of transformation in insects?
45639But how shall we give it its full activity and extent?
45639But, it may be urged, if it was not affected by the imagination of the mother, why did the child come into the world with broken limbs?
45639Can it be said, the active machines which Mr. Needham perceived in the milt of the calmar were animals?
45639Can it be thought that eggs, which are active machines of another kind, are also animals?
45639Can there be a stronger proof that their operations are merely the effects of mechanism and materiality?
45639Can we then imagine these bodies to be real animals?
45639Dic coaluisse tubas post partum: quomodo i d nosti?
45639Dic concepisse tubis clausis; quomodo ovulum ingredi tubam potuit?
45639Dic igitur tubas ab incunabulis clausas sterilitatem inducere: quare hæc nostra femina peperit?
45639Do not then those nations act more wisely than we who cover or clothe their children without shackling them in swathing- bands?
45639How could this contact take place upon a remote object or abstracted subjects?
45639How could this movement be accomplished in an indivisible instant?
45639How shall the soul, in which it resides, be disengaged from all the illusions of the mind?
45639I. p. 7,"Quid fiet de omnibus illis particulis seu corpusculis præter illa animalcula semini virili hominum inhærentibus?
45639If these are animals, why have they not all life?
45639If these marks have the longings of the mother for their cause, why have they not the forms and colours as varied as the objects of her desires?
45639Is it possible to have a conception of motion without having a conception of space and time?
45639Is not that a sufficient proof, that the nature of the soul is different from that of matter?
45639Is will then nothing more than a corporeal movement; and is contemplation but a simple contact?
45639It might here be asked Hippocrates what would happen when the one furnished its weak semen and the other its strong?
45639Must we not then look upon it as a being of a separate class, and which ought not to be ranked either with animal or mineral?
45639Now, if it had this form twenty days, or a month before, when the egg was first fecundated, why was it not hatched by the internal heat of the hen?
45639Quomodo adeo evanescere in utroque latere fimbriæ possunt, tanquam nunquam adfuissent?
45639The famous Boerhaave having asked Leeuwenhoek, if he had not observed in spermatic animals different degrees of growth and size?
45639The question is, Why each individual, male and female, does not produce of itself an animal of its own sex?
45639The same circumstance must occur in the other system, and therefore I ask if there is the smallest appearance of probability in these suppositions?
45639To begin with the system of spermatic worms, may it not be asked of those who admit of it, how they think this transformation is made?
45639What a curious assemblage of figures would be seen if all the whimsical desires of the mother were written on the skin of the child?
45639What are even the material organs of those senses, but so many conformities with the objects that affect them?
45639What can result from this commotion?
45639What knowledge is to be acquired from this mode of negation?
45639What must we conclude therefrom?
45639What would it be if we were to carry it to ten generations?
45639Whence can arise the uniformity that is in all the works of animals?
45639Why does each species invariably perform the same actions in the same manner?
45639Why is a servile imitation more troublesome to us than an original design?
45639Why retrench from the Natural History of Man the history of his noblest part?
45639Why should that be impossible, since hens form eggs without communication with the cock?
45639Why then does it occur, that in miscarriages of the first and second month this ball never escapes without a great effusion of blood?
45639Why then is not this organized being formed?
45639Why, on the other hand, are the productions and performances of men so various, and so diversified?
45639Would not those which were the most happily organized, build their nests and contrive their cells in a manner more solid, elegant, and commodious?
45639and in the cicatrice of these eggs we perceive a mole, with appendages, instead of a chicken?
45639and may not spermatic animals, by a similar transformation, become perfect animals?
45639and when women have two or three children, why do they all come into the world at one time?
45639and why is not the chicken perfectly formed in those eggs which are fecundated twenty- one days before the hen lays them?
45639and why, in almost every animal, is a mixture of the liquors of the two sexes required to produce an animal?
45639do we not see small aquatic worms become winged animals, by only throwing off their coats, which were their apparent and external forms?
45639why are not some of them produced in nine months, and others at distant periods?
45639why are they in the most fluid part of the liquor alive, while those in the thickest are not so?
44000106, C and D) alone of all the nerves in the body take the peculiar position it always does take?
44000108.--_Phrynus sp._(?).
44000But if the infundibulum was the old oesophagus, what then?
44000Can we obtain any clear conception of the original function of this whole system of sense- organs?
44000Do the advocates of the origin of vertebrates from Balanoglossus give the slightest reason for it?
44000Does the history of evolution pick out any particular organ or group of organs as more necessary than another for upward progress?
44000For what purpose might such a tube have been formed?
44000How are the nervous elements grouped round this tube when it is first formed?
44000How can we identify it when it first arises?
44000How does an excretory organ change its character when it ceases{ 419}to excrete to the exterior?
44000How does it terminate ventrally?
44000How is it, then, that this theory has been discredited and lost ground?
44000How, then, did the vertebrate heart arise?
44000If the germ- layer theory is no longer credited, upon what fundamental laws is embryology based?
44000If, then, these cells were not retained for digestive purposes, what was their function?
44000If, then, this tissue of Pteraspis is not to be looked upon as chitin, how can we imagine its formation?
44000In the first place, have we any right to attribute segmental value to the mandibular nerve?
44000Is it possible for embryology to recapitulate such a phylogenetic history more clearly than is here the case?
44000Is it possible from their structure to obtain any clue as to the actual passage from the palæostracan to the vertebrate?
44000Is it possible to find out its function in Ammocoetes?
44000Is it possible to lay down any laws of evolution?
44000Is there anatomical evidence that the ganglia of origin of the oculomotor and trochlear nerves represent many ganglia?
44000Is there no significance in this statement of Shipley?
44000Is there really evidence of any part of either retina or optic nerve being formed from the epithelial lining of the tube?
44000Next comes the question, why was the pronephros not repeated in the meristic repetition that took place during the early vertebrate stage?
44000The decision does not rest upon the answer to the question, Are these cells in reality the invaginated cells of a single- celled blastula?
44000To which category does its lining membrane belong?
44000We can, however, go further than this, and ask how this cartilage itself is formed in Ammocoetes?
44000What about the infundibulum?
44000What about the seventh pair, the chilaria of Limulus?
44000What are its characteristics?
44000What are the guiding principles in this investigation?
44000What are the lines of investigation most likely to meet with success?
44000What can be said as to the shape of these ancient forms of fishes?
44000What conclusion can we form as to the probable origin of the upper lip of Ammocoetes?
44000What evidence is there as to the origin of the bony skeleton in the vertebrate phylum itself?
44000What evidence is there of segments in this region in Ammocoetes?
44000What information is there of the nature of the earliest vertebrate?
44000What is the evidence as to its nature in these vertebrate median eyes?
44000What is the interpretation of this appearance?
44000What is the morphological criterion by which hypoblast can be distinguished from epiblast, or mesoblast from either?
44000What is the nature of this transformation process as described by Kupffer?
44000What is the structure of this head- shield?
44000What is the teaching of the vertebrate?
44000What kind of fishes were they, and what was the predominant race at the time?
44000What should we look for in our search after the lost coxal glands?
44000What vertebrate must be chosen for investigation?
44000What, in fact, caused the disappearance of the metasomatic appendages, and the formation of the smooth body- surface of the fish?
44000What, then, are the optic diverticula?
44000What, then, are these tubular muscles in the velar folds?
44000What, then, are these two groups of muscles?
44000What, then, are these velar folds, and how is it that the tubular muscles of these two segments become the velar muscles?
44000What, then, is a germinal layer?
44000What, then, is its topographical position?
44000What, then, is the interpretation of these various embryological and anatomical facts?

44000Where, then, is the lens in these pineal eyes?
44000Where, then, is this starting- point, this germ- band from which the whole embryo grows?
44000Where, then, must we look for the palæostoma, or original mouth?
44000Why should it be more well- marked?
44000Why should the tube take this peculiar shape at its first formation?
44000Why should there be this striking difference between the formation of the infra- infundibular region of the brain and that of the spinal cord?
44000and further, also, What is the origin of these free cells?
44000and( 2){ 462}Does it become a certain part of the definitive epithelial lining of the gut?"

38629Lord Mayor.--Probably the clergyman of the parish might exert some influence over them? 38629 ''What have they to bring forward?'' 38629 ( Do you mean_ living_ naturalists? 38629 ( Shall I?) 38629 * 1854? 38629 * 1870? 38629 * 1874? 38629 And is he willing to publish my Abstract? 38629 And now I should like to know in what one particular are you less of a blackguard than I am? 38629 And what do you think would be fair terms for an edition? 38629 And( 2)--When and how did he conceive the manner in which species are modified; when did he begin to believe in Natural Selection? 38629 Are you not acting unfairly towards yourself? 38629 As for Christ''s, did you ever see such a college for producing Captains and Apostles? 38629 As to your grand principle--_natural selection_--what is it but a secondary consequence of supposed, or known, primary facts? 38629 At the end of one of the parts, which was exceedingly impressive, he turned round to me and said, with a deep sigh,''How''s your backbone?''
38629But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine?
38629But may I beg of you one favour, it will be doing me the greatest kindness, if you will send me a decided answer, yes or no?
38629By the way, would you object to send this and your answer to Hooker to be forwarded to me?
38629Could I have a clean proof to send to Wallace?
38629Could you tell me pretty soon what plants you can give me; and then I shall know what to order?
38629D. to J. D. Hooker._ Down[ 1849- 50?].
38629Darwin to L. Jenyns._[138] Down[ 1845?].
38629Darwin?"
38629Development is a better word, because more close to the cause of the fact?
38629Do n''t you think so?...
38629Do you believe( and I really should like to hear) that God_ designedly_ killed this man?
38629Do you intend to follow out your views, and if so, would you like at some future time to have my few references and notes?
38629Do you not think his having sent me this sketch ties my hands?...
38629Do you recollect how you all tormented me about his beautiful tail?"
38629Do you think any diamond beetle will ever give me so much pleasure as our old friend_ crux- major_?...
38629Does he know at all of the subject of the book?
38629Does not Lyell give some argument about varieties being difficult to keep[ true] on account of pollen from other plants?
38629For how could you influence Jupiter Olympus and make him give three and a half columns to pure science?
38629Have not some men a nice notion of experimentising?
38629He adds that in the case of the author"the restless curiosity of the child to know the''what for?''
38629He and Bernard used to compare their tastes;_ e.g._, in liking brown sugar better than white,& c.; the result being,"We always agree, do n''t we?"
38629He asked me at once,''Shall you bear being told that I want the cabin to myself-- when I want to be alone?
38629He said one day to me,"Why do n''t you give up your fiddle- faddle of geology and zoology, and turn to the occult sciences?"
38629Here I enjoyed five[?]
38629How gets on your book?
38629How is your health?
38629How much time have I lost by illness?"
38629How soon shall I come to you in the morning?
38629I find my old results about the astonishing sensitiveness of the nervous system(!?)
38629I have had a letter telling me that seeds_ must_ have_ great_ power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands''?
38629I send it by the car to- morrow morning; if you make up your mind directly will you send me an answer on the following day by the same means?
38629I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction?
38629I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything?
38629If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder?
38629If you do refer to me at any length, can you send me a proof and I will return it to you at once?
38629If you should happen to be_ acquainted_ with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is?
38629In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend?
38629In the first place, at p. 480, it can not surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species?
38629Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?"
38629Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body?
38629Is it on his grandfather''s or his grandmother''s side that the ape ancestry comes in?''
38629Is it so?
38629Is she ought but a pestilent abstraction, like dust cast in our eyes to obscure the workings of an Intelligent First Cause of all?"
38629Is this not curious?
38629It may well be asked how is it possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection?"
38629MY DEAR HOOKER,--What is the good of having a friend, if one may not boast to him?
38629Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I inquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?"
38629My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature?
38629My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully and artistically coloured?
38629Now what think you?
38629Ought not these cases to make one very cautious when one doubts about the use of all parts?
38629Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause?
38629Rice and peas and_ calavanses_ are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more?
38629Secondly, can you advise me whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms?
38629Share profits, or what?
38629This is the true way to solve a problem?
38629Thus he wrote to Sir J. D. Hooker( 1847?
38629Two questions naturally occur to one:( 1)--When and how did Darwin become convinced that species are mutable?
38629We all admit development as a fact of history: but how came it about?
38629We all laughed heartily over some of the sentences.... Who can it be?
38629What are her image and attributes, when dragged from her wordy lurking- place?
38629What is Erasmus''s direction?
38629What is the dose?
38629What makes a tuft of feathers come on a cock''s head, or moss on a moss- rose?
38629What on earth shall you do with your boys?
38629What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon?
38629When a sentence became hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what_ do_ you want to say?"
38629Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing?
38629Who can the author be?
38629Who is she?
38629Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by_ return of post_, saying whether you are now at Cambridge?
38629Will you think over this, and some time, either by letter or when we meet, tell me what you think?...
38629Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind?
38629Would it do to send my tax- cart early in the morning, on a day that was not frosty, lining the cart with mats, and arriving here before night?
38629Would it not be better at least to share the £ 72 8s.?
38629Would not the Zoological Society be the best place?
38629Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness, existed in the moon?
38629You idle old wretch, why have you not answered my last letter, which I am sure I forwarded to Clifton nearly three weeks ago?
38629[ 123] In 1860 he wrote to Lyell:"Is not Krohn a good fellow?
38629[ 209] In a letter to Mr. Huxley my father wrote:--"Have you seen the last_ Saturday Review_?
38629[ 224] Does it not hurt your Yankee pride that we thrash you so confoundedly?
38629[ 291] Pray tell me whether anything has been published on this subject?
38629[ Down, 1847?]
38629and the''how?''
38629the''why?''
31708A grub...?
31708A reed- warbler?
31708And are you satisfied?
31708And how are you?
31708And how''s your wife?
31708And so you''re only going to love me for the summer?
31708And what about me?
31708And what about your own conscience, as the father of such an enormous progeny?
31708And you say that one ought to eat one''s parents?
31708Are n''t you exaggerating?
31708Are you beginning to see the truth of what I said, madam?
31708Are you sighing because of all this fuss with the children? 31708 Are you sitting and contemplating the poetry of Nature?
31708Are you talking of me, madam?
31708But am I mistaken, or did I see you eat a grub just now, madam, which your husband brought you?
31708But how did you escape from him?
31708But will you admit that I was right? 31708 But you wo n''t hurt me, will you?"
31708Ca n''t he leave a respectable woman alone?
31708Change your clothes?
31708Dear me, is that you, Goody Cray- Fish?
31708Did you ever see anything like it?
31708Did you hear?
31708Did your husband help you build the parlour?
31708Do n''t you hatch them?
31708Do n''t you recognise it?
31708Do you hear that, wife? 31708 Do you hear?"
31708Do you look after your children nicely?
31708Do you think that life is so pleasant?
31708Have I your leg?
31708Have you any eggs?
31708Have you any news of your children?
31708Have you caught anything?
31708Have you had a good time to- day?
31708He? 31708 How are you, after your friend''s unhappy end?"
31708How can you say that life is not delightful?
31708How did you get there?
31708How long does it last with you? 31708 How on earth did they come up here from the sea?"
31708How on earth did you escape?
31708If you''re tired of it, why did you do it?
31708Is he no longer with you, then?... 31708 Is it true, Goody Cray- Fish?"
31708Is n''t it charming?
31708Is n''t it lovely?
31708Is that my leg?
31708May I ask, were there no reed- warblers?
31708May I look at you a little?
31708Oh, are you?
31708Oh, have you pearls? 31708 Oh, really?"
31708Oh, really?
31708Oh, so you''re there, are you?
31708Or, perhaps... perhaps you are a lady...?
31708Really? 31708 Really?
31708Sailors?
31708So you can eat two hundred water- mites at a time?
31708The mussel?
31708The what?...
31708Then how did you come here?
31708Well, what is it?
31708Well?
31708Were you caught? 31708 What am I to say?"
31708What are we to do now?
31708What are we to do with the poor little wretch?
31708What are you thinking of?
31708What did they say?
31708What did you do then?
31708What do you propose, then?
31708What do you want, you ugly cray- fish?
31708What good would it do if I thought of you? 31708 What harm can happen to you?"
31708What''s going to happen now?
31708What''s this now?
31708Whatever is this?
31708Where are they, then, Goody Cray- Fish?
31708Where can one find a fly?
31708Where on earth is one to go to find poetry?
31708Why will you think so much about all that rabble?
31708Will you love me till I die?
31708Would you mind telling me, ma''am?
31708Yes, why not, if they taste good?
31708Yes... is n''t that a child too?
31708You do n''t surely imagine that you''re a bird?
31708You never saw your wife?
31708You were looking down at me, were n''t you?
31708_ Was?_asked Mrs. Reed- Warbler.
31708And how have you done?"
31708And what need have I to meddle with women''s work?
31708And what was I to do with him?
31708And why, pray, madam?"
31708Are n''t you almost ready?"
31708But Mrs. Reed- Warbler ran down the reed and peered into the dark water:"Are you there, my little grub?"
31708CHAPTER IX The Water- Lily[ Illustration]"Do n''t you think we shall be able to let the children out soon?"
31708CHAPTER X[ Illustration] The Cray- Fish''s Journey"How is my dear grub?"
31708Can you fly?"
31708Did you hear anything about well- bred people in this place expressing such a wish?"
31708Did you notice the eel the other day?
31708Do you really believe she eats her children?"
31708Do you think it''s to be depended on?"
31708Do you want one of your little legs amputated, eh?"
31708How can any one care to look at a beggar like you?
31708I do n''t know if I told you that I possess that peculiarity?"
31708I find it so difficult to understand the domestic conditions of the lower classes.... Perhaps you do n''t even know where he is?"
31708I have quite a nice place, have n''t I?
31708I have twenty- one pairs of legs and he knows it: how many has he?"
31708I presume you go away in the autumn?"
31708Meanwhile, may I ask you if you would kindly try to remove the brute with your beak?
31708Mrs. Reed- Warbler glanced at him kindly:"What''s your name, you pretty flower?"
31708She ran to the reed and looked into the water:"Are you there, my little grub?"
31708Surely, ma''am, you do n''t believe that mean carp who was here the other day?
31708The cray- fish crawled right under the reeds, where the nest hung, and asked, in a low whisper:"What do you think of the mussel, ma''am?"
31708Then I become furious and I pinch.... Hullo, are you there again, Goody Cray- Fish?
31708They sing of how happy the mussel is with the precious pearl he guards, and all that sort of thing.... Do you know what a pearl is?"
31708Well, did she taste nice?"
31708Well, madam, what did I tell you?"
31708Were you about to be skinned?"
31708What about the eel, ma''am, for instance?"
31708What did you do that for, dear friend?
31708What is a stickleback, I ask you?
31708What shall I do?
31708What shall I do?"
31708Where are they?
31708Would you care to see?..."
31708Would you like to see it?"
31708Would you think it indiscreet if I asked you what my leg tastes like?"
31708[ Illustration]"I say, is n''t this lovely?"
31708[ Illustration]"Why should I, mother?"
31708asked the cray- fish,"do n''t you think a body might get away from the pond?"
31708said Mrs. Reed- Warbler--"tell me, did you really eat your children?"
5792Do?
5792Why do n''t you come out of them, and travel about to see the world?
5792--"Out of myself?"
5792A thousand such, had they not said?
5792And have you ever noticed how gracefully these great companies are arranged?
5792And in a hot, sunny day, have n''t you often been glad to keep under the trees, or even to stay in the house for shade?
5792And now can you tell me what Alba''s rustic cradle was, and who were his cousins Rubra and Coccinea?
5792And now shall we see where the dwarf led him, and where the fairy, and what was actually done in the underground tour?
5792And now should you like to see how little May Warner helps them in even a better way?
5792And then how could they show their gratitude to the dear father who had taken such pains to prepare this wonderful house for them?
5792And what are the pretty green islands, with their clusters of trees and grassy slopes, but the summits of hills lifted out of the water?
5792And, now, who is Nannie?
5792Are n''t your feet fed?
5792Are we all ready for our little game?
5792But do you imagine that sensible children, after one such discovery, would rest satisfied?
5792But what are these two strange articles of food?
5792But what should he build with?
5792Can you think how tenderly and carefully they are taken on board, fed with broth and wine, and nursed back into health and strength?
5792Come, Mary, what has Philadelphia for San Francisco?
5792Did you ever fall asleep on the floor, and, waking, find yourself aching and stiff because it was so hard?
5792Did you notice the great pillars of coal that are left to uphold the roof?
5792Do n''t you remember how we used to go out last summer every morning before breakfast to bring in the corn?
5792Do n''t you see how many uses we have found for this refuse coal- tar?
5792Do you know what buttresses are?
5792Do you remember our old friend the star- fish?
5792Do you see how the good Father teaches all his creatures to help each other?
5792Do you think now that you know how the pond looks in the sunshine of this May morning?
5792Do you think the kingdoms of air and water can send her a pair?
5792Do you think there are any children who would have made the people less happy by being there?
5792Do you understand now how the asters live in communities?
5792Do you want to know what kind of a tree?
5792Do you wonder that the men and women are watching eagerly?
5792Do you wonder when I say the foot must be fed?
5792Do you wonder?
5792GOLDEN- ROD AND ASTERS Do you know that flowers, as well as people, live in families?
5792Have you found the key or spring of a single one, or been called by your mother or father or brother or sister to take a peep into one of them?
5792Have you seen already that it is only coal, and do you wonder that I think it is so precious?
5792Here the little feet answered promptly,"You want to build, do you?
5792How did it happen, and what does it mean?
5792How do you like this little circular town seen in the picture?
5792My foot, did you say?
5792NANNIE''S RUN Can you imagine a beautiful oval- shaped bay, almost encircled by a long arm of sand stretching out from the mainland?
5792No feet, does he say?
5792No, do you say?
5792Now, are you curious to know what this treasure is?
5792Now, where do you suppose they came from, and how did little Scotch Jeanie come into possession of such a treasure?
5792Poor little things, their useless lives had ended, and what good had they done in the world?
5792Pulling off his wisp of a cap, and making a grotesque little bow, he asked,"Will you take a guide for the under- world tour?"
5792Shall we leave the feet to travel their own way for a while, and see where the fairy has led the little hand?
5792Should you like to know?
5792Should you think the black coal could ever undergo such a change as to come out in the form of these white candles?
5792THE CARRYING TRADE Who wants to engage in the carrying trade?
5792THE INDIANS What will Nannie do now?
5792Then there was a whisper among the leaves:"All very well, old Rubra; but did any of your sons or grandsons ever COME BACK from the grand tour?"
5792This served for a hint to curious men, to make them ask"What is this?"
5792WHAT THE FROST GIANTS DID TO NANNIE''S RUN THE FROST GIANTS Do you believe in giants?
5792What are they watching for?
5792What did my father mean this for?
5792What does the peach- tree regard as most precious?
5792What hangs there so soft and gray?
5792What is that little rocky ledge, where the lighthouse stands, but the stony top of a hill rising from the bottom of the sea?
5792What land have they discovered?
5792What should we have done, if everybody had kept on burning wood to this day?
5792What will the stream do now?
5792When your hands or lips are cracked and rough from the cold, does your mother ever put on glycerin to heal them?
5792Where is Roncador Bank, and who are the little settlers there?
5792Where were the others?
5792Who comes with a flash of wings and gleam of golden breast among the dark leaves, and sits above the gray hanging nest to sing his full, sweet tune?
5792Why did he give that so odd a shape, or so strange a covering?
5792Why does n''t he begin to enjoy himself?
5792Yes, but does Ruth want to eat earth?--do you?--does anybody?
5792You know the roadside asters, purple and white, that bloom so plenteously all through the early autumn?
5792and"What is it good for?"
5792do n''t you see that all would begin to be discouraged?
5792else how do they grow?
5792said Rubra,"do?
5792who would have complained and fretted, and been selfish and disagreeable?
38954And can you imagine a hornet failing in his intention when he gets such a good square shot as that?
38954Are those natural?
38954But some young people may feel passing impulses, but how account for your artistic skill and literary powers?
38954But why did n''t the hornet eat him on the spot? 38954 Did he sting you?"
38954Did he sting you?
38954Did you have any setbacks?
38954Did you like patch- work?
38954Do you remember it?
38954Do you wonder that I am as blue as indigo, and am occasionally forced to resort to my oil- tank to still the troubled waters of my later experience? 38954 Had you any particular advantages?"
38954How could she have done that?
38954Is that what you are after?
38954Not know''em? 38954 Say, Amos,"slyly asked a jibing neighbor at his elbow,"wut did ye hev in the hayin''-pail that day?"
38954Then your work went hand in hand?
38954Waal, haow much hev_ yeu_ gut?
38954Was it an original composition?
38954Were you encouraged at your work?
38954What ails him?
38954Where_ did_ you find it?
38954Which plant was it on? 38954 Why not make it forty while you are about it?"
38954And here, when their labors might be so easily lightened by a downward grade, what do they do?
38954And what does Harris say about him?
38954And what was this travelling wheel called?
38954And who shall say that our pretty fay is a myth, or her magic wand a wild creation of the fancy?
38954But what is it all about, this funny ride on a fly''s hind- leg?
38954But what on''t?
38954But who even guesses the nature of the pretty fringe, or even associates with it the pale green golden- eyed fly which we all know so well?
38954But who ever heard of any one with a good word for the hornet?
38954But who would ever think of calling the whizzing harvest- fly a"bug?"
38954But why should we have caught her?
38954Can it be that the yeast fungus too may give off effulgence with its carbonic acid at its whim?
38954Can you give me any information in regard to them?
38954Did I run when I saw him coming?
38954Do you doubt it?
38954Do you wonder that I have had the blues ever since at the memory of those honeyed days, now forever fled?
38954Does he stand up on his hind legs on the opposite side, and push with his powerful front feet?
38954Doos any one o''ye want to bet me that ye ai n''t a pack o''dunces?
38954For how many days, I wonder, has he been on this particular flying trip?
38954For the sake of its proud lineage, if nothing else, is not our poor tumble- bug deserving of our more than passing attention?
38954For was it not a leaf of the Virginia- creeper or woodbine?
38954Have, then, our cows nothing better to do than to go expectorating all over the meadows, road- sides, and hay- fields?
38954Having once been interviewed by a hornet, do we not remember him for life for his pains?
38954Here, for instance, a puzzled nautical friend propounds the question:"How do those tiny spiders get on my yacht when I am twenty miles at sea?
38954How did that come about?"
38954How is it in the pea?
38954How rarely do we see a bouquet of daisies on a country table?
38954I retorted,"and will_ you admit_ that this drawing of a_ weed_ is pretty?"
38954It occurred in my boyhood--_my_ boyhood?
38954Let''s see; shall it be those travelling underground buds of the Clintonia, with all their leaves and flowers ready for next spring?
38954May we not see the wonder- workings of that potent wand on every hand, even though our fairy has eluded us while she cast the spell?
38954Naow who sez I_ kain''t_, and will wager me a new scythe on''t?"
38954Now what is the intention here expressed?
38954Riddles in Flowers Indeed, are they not all riddles?
38954Russia- leather?
38954Shall I tell you some of my feats?
38954The brilliancy of the light may be inferred from the following query and its answer:"What is that light yonder?"
38954There, right at my elbow, still plying his never- ending toilet, I beheld him-- strange coincidence, was it not?
38954Was there ever such a lively, acrobatic, venturesome, plucky baby as I, even when I was a day old?
38954What ails him, anyhow?"
38954What are we to infer from the shape of our evening primrose?
38954What chipped or cracked your egg so that your particular bird emerged, chirped, and finally took flight?
38954What did I see?
38954What did it mean?
38954What do the cocoons turn into?"
38954What does it mean, this riddle of the bluets?
38954What had happened?
38954What insects have tongues of this length?
38954What is the intention involved in the construction and habit of this flower?
38954What is the method of our spider?
38954What is their life history?
38954What is this black paper hornet( more properly wasp) doing from morning till night?
38954What is this mysterious essence which the wasp carries in its poniard?
38954What need to elongate a corolla tube for the tongue of a moth whose visit could render no functional service?
38954What other insect has been thus glorified and immortalized?
38954What was it like?
38954What whispers this glittering midge to the oak twig here to which she clings so closely?
38954What will become of him?
38954What''s the good of it all, anyhow?
38954What_ is_ a tendril-- botanically speaking?
38954When did you break your shell?
38954Where are the seeds?
38954Where is the flower which even to the most devoted of us has yet confided all its mysteries?
38954Which of our boys can show us the best record?
38954Which of our boys or girls can discover the facts as they_ are_, and tell us why the chrysalis does not fall out at the last moment?
38954Which on ye''ll bet me a scythe that wut I say about these ar flyin''snakes is all poppycut?
38954Who shall any longer refer to the figwort as an"uninteresting weed"?
38954Who, by a mere glance, could imagine the materials that the little bird called the vireo employs in building her peculiar nest?
38954Why does it await the twilight to burst into bloom?
38954Why had she placed that bottle so conspicuously upon his wash- stand?
38954Why is it that the buds on so meny evening primroses swell up so big and never open?
38954Why should it fly away with him and yank him about so unmercifully?"
38954Why this long tube?
38954Why?
38954Why?
38954Why?
38954With no stamens to bequeath pollen, and no stigma to welcome other pollen, what need to open?
38954Would you know who accompanied him?
38954[ 2] See"Sharp Eyes,"But what do we find in these cocoons that we now have before us?
38954and how many before him have marvelled at that strange exhibition among the woodbine leaves which had now probably met his eyes for the first time?
38954he exclaimed,"but ai n''t that pooty?"
38954or was the light traceable to the perceptible odor of lobster with which it had evidently been previously in contact?
38954upon our palm as we examine him?

2009But how to obtain the beginning of such useful development?"
2009But how, it may be asked, can any analogous principle apply in nature?
2009But if the same species can be produced at two separate points, why do we not find a single mammal common to Europe and Australia or South America?
2009But in the intermediate region, having intermediate conditions of life, why do we not now find closely- linking intermediate varieties?
2009But may not the areas of preponderant movement have changed in the lapse of ages?
2009But may not this inference be presumptuous?
2009But what is meant by this system?
2009But what other natural material could bees use?
2009But why, it may be asked, are certain forms treated as the mimicked and others as the mimickers?
2009Can a more striking instance of adaptation be given than that of a woodpecker for climbing trees and seizing insects in the chinks of the bark?
2009Can the principle of selection, which we have seen is so potent in the hands of man, apply under nature?
2009Do they believe that at each supposed act of creation one individual or many were produced?
2009Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man?
2009He may ask where are the remains of those infinitely numerous organisms which must have existed long before the Cambrian system was deposited?
2009How will the struggle for existence, briefly discussed in the last chapter, act in regard to variation?
2009How, then, comes it that such a vast number of the seedlings are mongrelized?
2009How, then, does the lesser difference between varieties become augmented into the greater difference between species?
2009Is this the case?
2009It may well be asked how it is possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection?
2009Now do these complex and singular rules indicate that species have been endowed with sterility simply to prevent their becoming confounded in nature?
2009Now, what does this remarkable law of the succession of the same types within the same areas mean?
2009One writer asks, why has not the ostrich acquired the power of flight?
2009Or, again, why has not any member of the group acquired a long proboscis?
2009Thirdly, can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection?
2009Were all the infinitely numerous kinds of animals and plants created as eggs or seed, or as full grown?
2009What can be more extraordinary than these well- ascertained facts?
2009What can be plainer than that the webbed feet of ducks and geese are formed for swimming?
2009What now are we to say to these several facts?
2009What reason, it may be asked, is there for supposing in these cases that two individuals ever concur in reproduction?
2009What shall we say to the instinct which leads the bee to make cells, and which has practically anticipated the discoveries of profound mathematicians?
2009What then checks an indefinite increase in the number of species?
2009Who can explain what is the essence of the attraction of gravity?
2009Who can explain why one species ranges widely and is very numerous, and why another allied species has a narrow range and is rare?
2009Why are not all organic beings blended together in an inextricable chaos?
2009Why does it not double or quadruple its numbers?
2009Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life?
2009Why have not apes acquired the intellectual powers of man?
2009Why have not the more highly developed forms every where supplanted and exterminated the lower?
2009Why is not all nature in confusion, instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined?
2009Why should not Nature take a sudden leap from structure to structure?
2009Why should the brain be enclosed in a box composed of such numerous and such extraordinarily shaped pieces of bone apparently representing vertebrae?
2009Why should the degree of sterility be innately variable in the individuals of the same species?
2009Why should the sepals, petals, stamens, and pistils, in each flower, though fitted for such distinct purposes, be all constructed on the same pattern?
2009Why should there often be so great a difference in the result of a reciprocal cross between the same two species?
2009Why should this be so?
2009Why should this be so?
2009Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links?
2009Why, it has been asked, if instinct be variable, has it not granted to the bee"the ability to use some other material when wax was deficient?"
2009Why, it may be asked, has the supposed creative force produced bats and no other mammals on remote islands?
2009Why, it may be asked, until recently did nearly all the most eminent living naturalists and geologists disbelieve in the mutability of species?
2009Why, it may even be asked, has the production of hybrids been permitted?
2009Why, on the theory of Creation, should there be so much variety and so little real novelty?
2009Would the just- hatched young sometimes adhere to the feet of birds roosting on the ground and thus get transported?
2009and in the case of mammals, were they created bearing the false marks of nourishment from the mother''s womb?

31710By- the- by, where is your shooting, sir?''
31710CHOOSING A GUN The first thought of the amateur sportsman naturally refers to his gun, and the questions arise: What sort of a gun do I want?
31710Can an owner of this kind of property be permitted to refuse to sell?
31710Can anything be substituted for wages?
31710Did anyone ever see such a helpless set as that yonder?
31710Do not gentlemen on the Exchange use technical terms?
31710Does it not seem a very serious matter that so large a piece of land should remain idle for that length of time?
31710Does it not, in great measure, arise from this very desultory life-- from this procrastinating dislike to active exertion?
31710For ever anxious and labouring for perfection, shall the soul, convinced of the divinity of its work, halt and turn aside to fall into imperfection?
31710For instance, to the population of an inland village, what would be more delightful than a few hours on the sea- beach?
31710Has he got that bit of money that was coming to him?
31710He can always test the value of their object by the question of wages and food--''How will it affect my wages and food?''
31710He will go further and say,''Why should I not settle these things at home?
31710He wishes to know,''What would a manufacturer think of a business in which he was compelled to let his engines rest for a third of the year?''
31710How can it be otherwise?
31710How else is he to meet the increased cost of labour, of rent, of education, of domestic materials; how else maintain his fair position in society?
31710How is livelihood--_i.e._, wages-- to be found for it?
31710How many may there be in this herd?
31710How many prosecutions have taken place under it?
31710How many turtle- doves in spring in the hedges and outlying thickets, in summer among the shocks of corn?
31710How many villages have so much as a reading- room?
31710How many wood- pigeons are there in the South Wood alone, besides the copses and the fir- plantations?
31710How then?
31710If that great interest, the children of the parish, can be administered at home, why not the other and much less important interests?
31710Is it all?
31710Is it really so?
31710Is there a little consciousness of the spring- freshened colours of his plumage and pride in the dainty touch of his wings on the sweet wind?
31710Is there a little vanity in that wanton flight?
31710Is there anything so delicious as the first exploration of a great library-- alone-- unwatched?
31710It is but a crumb tasted and gone: who should remember a crumb?
31710Machinery and steam- power to drive it is, no doubt, a very heavy item; but are we so anxious for machinery and machine- made guns?
31710May there not be light we can not see?
31710Must he be compelled to sell?
31710Must he be compelled to sell?''
31710Nerves out of order-- eh?''
31710Now, is not a large estate a living picture?
31710Now, is there anything so aggravating as to be asked about your nerves?
31710Now, why is Bartholomew doing his land better this year?
31710Now, why is it that this cry arises that agriculture will not pay?
31710On the cessation of the twelve shillings where is the labourer to find a substitute for it?
31710On the oak- tree yonder, how many leaves are doing the same?
31710Or rather, is it not formed of a hundred living pictures?
31710Put the mind of man within the body of the caterpillar-- what more could it have done?
31710Query, what colour is that?
31710Shall the bitterness of the workhouse at last pass away?
31710So the goldfinches rejoice in the sunshine, and who can sit within doors when they sing?
31710Some farmer is likely to exclaim,''How can this be, when I can not get enough men when I want them?''
31710The leaf was folded in the tiny red- tipped bud-- now it has come forth how long must one ponder to fully appreciate it?
31710The poor rate is no longer made at the Vestry; the church rate is a thing of the past; and what is then left?
31710The question is, Will they do so to an extent sufficient to repay the outlay?
31710The question will have to be asked: Is it better for this population to be practically nomad or settled?
31710There is reason now, is there not, to dread the appearance of the money- lender?
31710They are only material-- the sun sinks, darkness covers the hills, and where is their beauty then?
31710Throughout the country there is an undoubted conviction that such extension is extremely desirable, but who is to take the initiative?
31710We now govern our village ourselves; why should we not possess our village?
31710What are those strange, clattering noises, like the sound of men fighting with wooden''backswords''?
31710What did they know of the beam of light that shone on the sonorous lap of their statue Memnon?
31710What has become of them?
31710What has he before him?
31710What is the meaning of this hieroglyph, which is repeated in a thousand thousand other ways and shapes, which meets us at every turn?
31710What is the value of informing me that the''paupers''are properly looked after when I do not want any''paupers''?
31710What is there in the present condition of agriculture to make farmer or landowner anxious that the existing system of things should continue?
31710What is there that the landowner is not expected to do?
31710What more easy than to run a hose from it right to a stone trough, or dipping- place, in the centre of the village?
31710What price shall I pay?
31710What scope is there for work upon a stagnant dairy farm of one hundred and fifty acres?
31710What then?
31710What would any manufacturer think of a business in which he was compelled to let his engines rest for a third of the year?
31710When ten or fifteen thousand acres of land fall out of cultivation, and farmers leave, what is to become of the labouring families they kept?
31710Where can I get it?
31710Why does a cabinet minister labour the year through as hard as a miner?
31710Why does a lawyer work as no navvy works?
31710Why have not these cottages and allotments produced their expected effect?
31710Why is this?
31710Why not, when the country is nothing but land?
31710Why should I not walk up to the village from my house in the country lane, and there and then arrange the business which concerns me?
31710Why should he not be supplied with a motive for united action?
31710Why should not the agricultural labourers have a trip?
31710Why should not the labourer be made to feel an interest in the welfare, the prosperity, and progress of his own village?
31710Why should they not be?
31710Why should we not have a little share in the land, as much, at least, as we can pay for?
31710Why should we not have a little share in the land, as much, at least, as we can pay for?...
31710Why should we not live in our own houses?
31710Why should we not live in our own houses?
31710Why was it that for so many hundreds of years the population of England remained nearly stationary?
31710Without homes, how can its ranks ever become firm and solid again?
31710Wonder how much the trainer pocketed over that transaction?
31710Wonder if a gang of American labourers could make anything out of our farms?
31710Would he be eager to sink his capital in such an enterprise?
31710Yet even this almost immortal sun had a beginning-- perhaps emerging as a ball of incandescent gas from chaos: how long ago was that?
31710Yet what is the cruelty of cold walls to the cruelty of''system''?
31710[''We now govern our village ourselves;] why should we not possess our village?
31710and why has it so marvellously increased in this last forty years?

6322Is it a slight augmentation of temperature which favours the phosphorescence?
6322Is it in fact a reflected or a direct light?
6322Is the atmospheric constitution changed?
6322Is this formation of the same date as that of Punta Araya and Cumana?
6322May there not be in this place some sunken volcanic islet, more easterly still than Barbadoes?)
6322May we believe the existence of those blue eyes of the Boroas of Chile and Guayanas of Uruguay; represented to us as nations of the race of Odin?
6322Must it on this account be admitted, that the Caribbees are an entirely distinct race?
6322Must we admit that emanations which reflect white light, and seem to have some analogy with the tails of comets, are less abundant at certain periods?

39910Are her efforts ineffectual?
39910At his fiat it appears; but in what condition?
39910At what stage of existence, then, could a bird, by possibility, have been created, which did not present distinct records of prochronic development?
39910But how do you know that either of these organisms was created in this mature stage?
39910But is it so?
39910But is the case otherwise in the animal world?
39910But is the life of_ the species_ a circle returning into itself?
39910But is there no other alternative?
39910But let us look at this strange cloth: what is it?
39910But perhaps you may say, What evidence is there that these ever had any predecessors?
39910But the red swimming atom;--whence came that?
39910But what former conditions?
39910But what is creation?
39910But when did you ever see the gorgeous- eyed Peacock feeding on a nettle, or the White on a cabbage?
39910But where was this flower?
39910But, finding it so, the question naturally arises,--Why here, and not elsewhere?
39910Can I do this?
39910Can we find any clue to his age?
39910Can you detect a flaw in this reasoning?
39910Did you see him suddenly bow down his head and lay a brick on the top of the last course?
39910Do you notice the frequent gulpings of the throat?
39910Do you observe these two round fleshy leaves, just peeping from the sandy earth?
39910Has not the physiologist irrefragable grounds for it, founded on universal experience?
39910Has the combined experience of mankind ever seen a solitary exception to this law?
39910Have they succeeded?
39910Have we any clue to the age of these corals, or to that of either of them, supposing we did not know that they have been created to- day?
39910Have we here any clue to the past history of the plant?
39910Have we, then, got rid of the evidence of past time, which we deduced from the successive changes through which the adult had passed?
39910Here, then, are no dead leaf- bases; here are no old historical scars:--have we any evidence of past time here?
39910How can they be accounted for?
39910How far can we ascertain its chronology?

39910May we say six thousand years?
39910Now may we not say with confidence, that the sounding- winged insect looks back to the pupa, the pupa to the larva, the larva to the egg- boat?
39910Now, where shall we find it?
39910Shall we accept the_ antediluvian_, or the_ diluvian_ stratification?
39910Shall we multiply it by 100?
39910Shall we trace it back a little farther?
39910Shall we try to estimate the number of polypes that have been occupied in building this tree?
39910So far, then, we can with certainty trace back the history of this being, as an independent organism; but did his history then commence?
39910So says the physiologist; but is he not most egregiously in error, since this is the day of these lovely beings''creation?
39910The latter we have seen to be a fact: is the former an impossibility?
39910The_ chalaza_, we see, is twisted at each pole of the yelk- globe, until it resembles a piece of twine: what is the meaning of this?
39910There are certainly no concentric cylinders of timber here: can we trace a previous history of this?

39910What is the explanation of these marks?
39910What is the glorious train of the Peacock, all filled with eyes, but a false witness of the same kind?
39910What is this ciliated planule, and whence comes it?
39910What is this?
39910What light can it throw on our inquiry?
39910What means this curious depression in the centre of the abdomen, and the corrugated knob which occupies the cavity?
39910What period of time was requisite for the aggregation of coral structure to the perpendicular thickness of 2,500 feet?
39910What says the physiologist, who is able to read off these autographic records?
39910What shall we say to_ this_ singular phenomenon?

39910What would be the amputation of your leg to this row of triangular scalpels, each an inch and a half in diameter?
39910When the inorganic crust of the globe was first cleft to contain rivers, whence came the water that flowed through the fissures?
39910Whence came it?
39910Whence came the egg?
39910Where then, in these species, can we possibly select a stage of life, which is not inseparably and even visibly connected with a previous stage?
39910Who could hesitate to assert that a history of past time is legibly written in the annulations of these stony tubes?
39910Would it not be closely parallel with the presence of fæces in the intestines of an animal at the moment of creation?
39910Would it not, as a matter of course, be found in the intestines?

944A question often occurred to me-- how long does any vestige of a fallen tree remain?
944Again, on what have the reef- building corals, which can not live at great depths, based their encircling structures?
944Amongst many other questions, he asked me,"Now that George Rex is dead, how many more of the family of Rexes are yet alive?"
944And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt?
944And will not the manner of its descend proclaim throughout the district to the whole family of carrion- feeders, that their prey is at hand?
944But it may yet be asked, how has the solid basalt been moved?
944But what has caused these reefs to spring up at such great distances from the shores of the included islands?
944Can we believe that any power, acting for a time short of infinity, could have denuded the granite over so many thousand square leagues?
944Did man, after his first inroad into South America, destroy, as has been suggested, the unwieldy Megatherium and the other Edentata?
944Do the very numerous spiders and rapacious Hymenoptera supply the place of the carnivorous beetles?
944Do they mistake a man in the distance for their chief enemy the puma?
944Does it not arise from the difficulty of several females associating together, and finding a male ready to undertake the office of incubation?
944Does the black fetid mud, abounding with organic matter, yield the sulphur and ultimately the sulphuric acid?
944Does this not partly explain the circumstance?
944Have the subsequently introduced species consumed the food of the great antecedent races?
944Have the succulent, salt- loving plants, which are well known to contain much soda, the power of decomposing the muriate?
944He added,"I have one other question: Do ladies in any other part of the world wear such large combs?"
944His brother said( York imitating his manner),"What that?"
944How can this faculty be explained?
944I asked him if he had ever heard of the Avestruz Petise?
944I asked,"Are they Indians?"
944I assured them I was a sort of Christian; but they would not hear of it-- appealing to my own words,"Do not your padres, your very bishops, marry?"
944I suggested this; but all the answer I could extort was,"Quien sabe?"

944Is it not an uncommon case, thus to find a remarkable degree of aerial transparency with such a state of weather?
944Is it not most wonderful that men should have attempted such operations, without the use of iron or gunpowder?
944Is it not possible that the mixture of large bodies of fresh and salt water may disturb the electrical equilibrium?
944Is this owing to the state of the body during sleep, or to a greater abundance of miasma at such times?
944It was laughable, but almost pitiable, to hear him speak to his wild brother in English, and then ask him in Spanish("no sabe?")
944Might it not thus readily be overlooked?
944Mr. Bushby has allowed him to finish his discourse, and then has quietly replied by some answer such as,"What else shall your slave do for you?"
944Must we believe that it was fairly pitched up in the air, and thus turned?
944My companions knew nothing about them, and only answered my queries by their imperturbable"quien sabe?"
944On what then, I repeat, are these barrier reefs based?
944Or does curiosity overcome their timidity?
944Secondly, what causes the length and narrowness of the bands?
944Sir F. Head, speaking of the inhabitants, says,"They eat their dinners, and it is so very hot, they go to sleep-- and could they do better?"
944They asked me,"Why do you not become a Christian-- for our religion is certain?"
944Was he at a loss how to classify them, and did he consequently think that silence was the more prudent course?
944Was this effect produced beneath the depths of a profound ocean?
944We here have the puzzle that so frequently occurs in the case of musquitoes-- on the blood of what animals do these insects commonly feed?
944What can be more singular than these structures?
944What cause can have altered, in a wide, uninhabited, and rarely- visited country, the range of an animal like this?
944What is the cause of this difference in their shyness?

944What would a florist say to whole tracts, so thickly covered by the Verbena melindres, as, even at a distance, to appear of the most gaudy scarlet?
944What would become of the lofty houses, thickly packed cities, great manufactories, the beautiful public and private edifices?
944What, it may naturally be asked, was the character of the vegetation at that period; was the country as wretchedly sterile as it now is?

944Which of us, for instance, could follow an American Indian through a sentence of more than three words?
944Whilst beholding these savages, one asks, whence have they come?
944Who can doubt that these qualities are united in the banana, the cocoa- nut, the many kinds of palm, the orange, and the bread- fruit tree?
944Who from seeing choice plants in a hothouse, can magnify some into the dimensions of forest trees, and crowd others into an entangled jungle?
944Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilized country?
944Who would ever have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark?
944Why have not the still more level, the greener and more fertile Pampas, which are serviceable to mankind, produced an equal impression?
944Why, then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have these arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory?
944Why, with their wide and deep moat- like channels, do they stand so far from the included land?
944Would he not attribute it to a flood having swept over the surface of the land, rather than to the common order of things?

22728Recapitulation Why do we wish to reject the Theory of Common Descent?
22728Recent as the yet discovered fossil mammifers of S. America are, who will pretend to say that very many intermediate forms may not have existed?

22728Why on the theory of absolute creations should this large and diversified island only have from 400 to 500(?
22728Why were the plants in Eastern and Western Australia, though wholly different as species, formed on the same peculiar Australian types?
22728Will analogy throw any light on the fact of the supposed races of nature being sterile, though none of the domestic ones are?

1909But granted that such hybridisations were possible, would they have influenced the character of the fauna?
1909But how was it possible that such processes should occur in free nature?
1909But in all seriousness, why should indefinite and unlimited variation have been regarded as a more probable account of the origin of Adaptation?
1909But is it only desert and polar animals whose colouring is determined through adaptation?
1909But on what does this phenomenon, so big with consequences, itself depend?
1909But what are genetic characters?
1909But what part of it DOES NOT depend upon adaptation?
1909But, again, why?
1909But, it is asked, what of the direct effect of external conditions, temperature, nutrition, climate and the like?
1909By what lines of reasoning and research was he brought to regard"natural selection"as a vera causa in the process of evolution?
1909Can they decide which is to perish and which to survive?
1909Can we conjecture how events would have moved if the son of Philip of Macedon had been an incompetent?
1909Did he develop it himself or was it a miraculous gift with which he was endowed at his creation?
1909Did they believe in the immortality of the soul?
1909Do we not detect such a view in Comte''s sociology, and perhaps even in Herbert Spencer''s?
1909Even if the record of Adam''s action were to be taken literally there would still remain the question, whence had he this power?
1909Further than this, I would ask whether the same train of ideas does not also apply to the evolution of animals?
1909Has it increased or diminished in duration and complexity since organisms first appeared on the earth?
1909Has this method, which is spoken of as Geitonogamy, the same influence as crossing with pollen from another plant?

1909How did these come to be so named?
1909How did this world grow up?
1909How far south did it ever extend and what is the latest date of a direct practicable communication, say from North Western Europe to Greenland?
1909How has our conception of social phenomena, and of their history, been affected by Darwin''s conception of Nature and the laws of its transformations?
1909How have the desert animals become yellow and the Arctic animals white?
1909How have they been received and followed up by the scientific and lay world?
1909How may this property be stated?
1909How was it that Darwin succeeded where others had failed?
1909How, when, and under what conditions was Darwin led to a conviction that species were not immutable, but were derived from pre- existing forms?
1909If Variation may be in any way definite, the question once more arises, may it not be definite in direction?
1909If only that has persistence which can be adapted to a given condition, what will then be the fate of our ideals, of our standards of good and evil?
1909If we give to"continually"a cosmic measure, can the fact be doubted?
1909In other words living matter must always have presented a life- cycle, and the question arises what kind of modification has that cycle undergone?
1909Intelligent missionaries of bygone days used to ply savages with questions such as these: Had they any belief in God?
1909Is it possible that the significant deviations which we know as"individual variations"can form the beginning of a process of selection?
1909Is not, then, the problem of knowledge solved by the evolution hypothesis?
1909Is religion then entirely a delusion?
1909Is the"natural"leak of a brass electroscope due to an intrinsic radio- activity of brass, or to traces of a radio- active impurity on its surface?

1909Is this the last word of human thought?
1909It is more important to ask, Why do these two worlds join?
1909It is not enough to hope( or fear?)
1909It is quite true that a similar substance covered the scales of the Reptiles, but why should it not have arisen among them through selection?
1909It solves the great problem: how could the finely adapted structure of the animal or plant body be formed unless it was built on a preconceived plan?
1909May not our present ideas of the universality and precision of Adaptation be greatly exaggerated?
1909Of what use to the diamond is its high specific gravity and high refrangibility, and to gold of its yellow colour and great weight?
1909Old men will reproach young men saying"Why do you not go to work?"
1909Or have we chanced upon an eddy in a backwater, opposed to the main stream of advance?
1909Or in what other way could it have arisen, since scales are also passively useful parts?
1909So Wangi climbed up the tree to ask Wailan Wangko,"How now?
1909That question was,''What is a species?''
1909The question is brought home to us when we ask what is a bud- sport, such as a nectarine appearing on a peach- tree?
1909The question is sometimes asked, Do the new lights on Variation and Heredity make the process of Evolution easier to understand?
1909The question is, then, if it has forms in which there is room for the new matter?
1909The real question is, Do they ever produce sterile offspring?
1909They are based on instinctive foundations ingrained in the nervous constitution through natural( or may we not say sexual?)
1909They belong to four different genera and three sub- families, and we have to inquire: Whence came this resemblance and what end does it serve?
1909This at once raises the much discussed question, how far garden- cultivation has led to the creation of new races?
1909This is unmistakably apparent from a letter to Fritz Muller dated February 22( 1869?
1909This life- power IS something; does it live in his heart or his lungs or his midriff?
1909To Darwin the question, What is a variation?
1909To quote a single example; I may put the question, what internal changes produce a transition from vegetative growth to sexual reproduction?
1909To this we must agree; but, it may be asked, do the general means of plant dispersal violate so obvious a principle?
1909To use a phrase of Romanes, can they have SELECTION- VALUE?
1909To what extent have the results of this vast activity fulfilled the expectations of the workers who have achieved them?
1909Turning to the other end of the radium series we are led to ask what becomes of radium- F when in turn it disintegrates?
1909Vaguely thinking over the enormous and constant destruction which this implied, it occurred to me to ask the question, Why do some die and some live?

1909Whence comes the idea that all measures inspired by the sentiment of solidarity are contrary to Nature''s trend?
1909Who is here the breeder, making the selection, choosing out one individual to bring forth offspring and rejecting others?
1909Why then is it so often entirely restricted to the female?
1909Why then should we feel content with the first hypothesis and not with the second?
1909Why was the migration of northern creatures southwards of far- reaching and most significant importance?
1909Why were the necessary variations always present?
1909Why, then, was it, that Darwin succeeded where the rest had failed?

2087One other question: You used to keep hawks; do you at all know, after eating a bird, how soon after they throw up the pellet?
2087Or are the species so created produced without parents?
2087Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?...

23427And that the productive living filament of each of those tribes was different from the other?
23427And those in which, after having admitted variability and declared in favour of it, he proceeds to limit it?
23427And thus barters his love for your protection?
23427And what is that situation?
23427And where, again, is your designer of beasts and birds, of fishes, and of plants?"
23427Are they the diverging ramifications of the living principle under modification of circumstance?
23427As all our ideas are originally received by our senses, the question may be changed to whether vegetables possess any organs of sense?
23427Assuredly, nothing can exist but by the will of this Supreme Author, but can we venture to assign rules to him in the execution of his will?
23427But assuredly if this theory[ the theory of descent with modification or that of"natural selection"?]
23427But how about plants?
23427But if he does not mean this, what becomes of natural selection?
23427But may not this inference be presumptuous?
23427But who objects to an author speaking of the attraction of gravity?
23427Can this be effected by any specific attraction?
23427Can we suppose that all the tricks, cunning, artifices, precautions, patience, and skill of animals are due to evolution only?
23427Can you show him more than I can?
23427Come, doctor, whither must we go; what must we investigate to- morrow, and the next day, and the next?
23427Concede what you please to these arbitrary and unattested superstitions, how will they help you?
23427Darwin?"
23427Does not such a consequence, I ask,_ prove repugnant alike to religion and common sense_?
23427Does not this involve the power of comparing dates, and the idea of a coming future, an''_ inquiétude raisonnée_''?
23427For how can a part which can not feel-- a soft inactive substance like the brain-- be the very organ of perception and movement?
23427For, what real knowledge can be drawn from an isolated pursuit?
23427Have they been narrated by men of intelligence and philosophers, or are they popular fables only?"
23427Have we any right to declare that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man?
23427Hence, when Mr. Darwin continues,"Who ever objected to chemists speaking of the elective affinities of the various elements?
23427How do either of them know that the other exists in their vicinity?
23427How many millions of germs has he not committed to the earth, before she has rewarded him by producing them?
23427How much natural history is likely to be found in such a lumber room?
23427How recognize the effects produced by climate, food,& c.?
23427How will our philosopher get at vision or make an eye?
23427How, again, distinguish these from those other effects which come from the intermixture of races, either when wild or in a state of domestication?
23427I dare not, lest--''''Emma, will you?
23427If the conditions of life have not varied, why should the species subjected to those conditions have done so?
23427If this part is not the source of our powers of motion, why is it so necessary and so essential?
23427In"Life and Habit,"I said:"To the end of time, if the question be asked,''Who taught people to believe in Evolution?''
23427Is Pantheism to absorb Rome, and, if so, what sort of a religious formula is to be the result?
23427Is he a man of letters making fun of science?
23427Is he a teleological theologian making fun of evolution?
23427Is he an evolutionist making fun of teleology?
23427Is he to be taken at his word?
23427Is it most likely that there have been ten millions of special creations?
23427Is it possible that Lamarck was in some measure misled by believing Buffon to be in earnest when he advanced propositions little less monstrous?
23427Is it so very much to hope that ere many years are over the approximation will become closer still?
23427Is not this to praise with faint damnation?
23427Is the mere power of feeling sensations sufficient to make them garner up food during the summer, on which food they may subsist in winter?
23427Is this curious kind of storge produced by mechanic attraction, or by the sensation of love?
23427Is this merely through want of training?
23427It may be asked, Why have a Church at all?
23427Must we not see here the design of an all- powerful Creator?
23427Of what date are those in which Buffon declares for variability?
23427On this account it may be well to ask the question, what, after all,_ is_''Natural Selection''?
23427On this dull cheek the rose of beauty blow, And those dim eyes diffuse celestial day?
23427Or is he a master of pure irony making fun of all three, and of his audience as well?
23427Or of the subtilty of owls, which husband their store of mice by biting off their feet, so that they can not run away?
23427Or, suppose the eye formed, would the perception follow?
23427Round that pale mouth did sweetest dimples play?
23427Should it not be enough that they do not injure each other nor stand in the way of each other''s fair development?
23427The fact has long been familiar; how has it been reconciled with infinite wisdom?
23427The horse, for example-- what can at first sight seem more unlike mankind?
23427Then why use it when another, and, by Mr. Darwin''s own admission, a"more accurate"one is to hand in"the survival of the fittest"?
23427This discourse is entirely devoted to the consideration of the question,"What is Species?"
23427This leads us to a curious inquiry, whether vegetables have ideas of external things?
23427What can be more widely contrasted than a newly- born child, and the small, semi- transparent gelatinous spherule constituting the human ovum?
23427What difference can we not see in this respect between civilized and uncivilized races, between the peasant girl, and the woman of the world?
23427What does the fact imply?
23427What induces the bee, who lives on honey, to lay up vegetable powder for its young?
23427What induces the butterfly to lay its eggs on leaves when itself feeds on honey?...
23427What inference could be more aptly drawn?
23427What was it that repelled him in Buffon''s system?
23427When it arrives, what is to happen?
23427When puppies and kittens play together is there not a tacit contract that they will not hurt each other?
23427Where are our bulldogs, greyhounds, spaniels, and lapdogs, breeds presenting differences which, in wild animals, would be certainly called specific?
23427Where are our cauliflowers, our lettuces, to be found wild, with the same characters as they possess in our kitchen gardens?
23427Where are the passages in which Buffon affirms the immutability of species?
23427Where can we find a more decided expression of opinion than the following?
23427Where can wheat be found as a wild plant, unless it have escaped from some neighbouring cultivation?
23427Where is he?
23427Where is this your designer?
23427Where, then, is your designer of man?
23427Which, I would ask, is the pessimist?
23427Who can doubt but that there will be a split even in the Church of England ere so many years are over?
23427Who led these vessels by a road so defended and secured?
23427Who made him?
23427Why do ants store food?
23427Why do we find in the hole of the field- mouse enough acorns to keep him until the following summer?
23427Why do we find such an abundant store of honey and wax within the bee- hive?
23427Why heave my sighs, why gush my tears anew?
23427Why is it considered so necessary that every part in an individual should be useful to the other parts and to the whole animal?
23427Why is it not as admissible in the second case as in the first?
23427Why not have said nothing about it?
23427Why not unite in community of negation rather than of assertion?
23427Why remind us here that the species which come nearest to the lion are so hard to distinguish?
23427Why should birds make nests if they do not know that they will have need of them?
23427Why should she not sometimes add superabundant parts, seeing she so often omits essential ones?"
23427Why, again, does it seem so proportionate in each animal to the amount of perceiving power which that animal possesses?
23427Yet, why should not this answer serve for the watch as well as for the stone?
23427[ 223]"What, then,"he asks,[224]"_ is_ species-- and can we show that species has changed-- however slowly?"
23427[ 317]"But is the upright position altogether natural, even to man?
23427[ 91]),"can we doubt that those animals whose organization resembles our own, feel the same sensations as we do?
23427and how is one to lay one''s hand upon the little that there may actually be?
23427or have they resulted from the combined agency of both?
23427or is Rome so to modify her dogmas that the Pantheist can join her without doing too much violence to his convictions?
23427or may it not be through wrong comparison on our own parts?
23427would have produced in course of generations a cat, or a cat a lion?
69190 solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?"
6919And is disapprobation a pleasure or a pain?
6919And the second is: How has it been perpetuated?
6919And, after all, is it quite so certain that a genetic relation may not underlie the classification of minerals?
6919Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties?
6919Are these truths ultimate and irresolvable facts, or are their complexities and perplexities the mere expressions of a higher law?
6919But are there any theological authorities to justify this view of the matter?
6919But can we go no further than that?
6919But has this been done?
6919But how does this come about?
6919But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature?
6919But is it not possible to apply a test whereby a true species may be known from a mere variety?
6919But is the analogy a real one?
6919But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals?
6919But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature?
6919But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature?
6919But then, what do they mean by this last much- abused term?
6919But to how much has man really access?
6919But what does this attempt to construct a universal history of the globe imply?
6919But what if it is?
6919But what more have we to guide us in nine- tenths of the most important affairs of daily life than hypotheses, and often very ill- based ones?
6919But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result?
6919But where does the grass, or the oat, or any other plant obtain this nourishing food- producing material?
6919Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock?
6919Did M. Flourens ever visit one of the prettiest watering- places of"la belle France,"the Baie d''Arcachon?
6919Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species?
6919Do they cease to be so when the man ceases to be conscious of them?
6919Does that make it less virtue?
6919Does the Quarterly Reviewer really think that the"sensation"is the"agent"by which the other two phenomena are wrought out?
6919Elijah''s great question,"Will you serve God or Baal?
6919Finally, what are the mental powers which he reserves as the especial prerogative of man?
6919For what are the phænomena of Agamogenesis, stated generally?
6919Has it been created?
6919Has not his Paley told him that that seemingly useless organ, the spleen, is beautifully adjusted as so much packing between the other organs?
6919How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night?
6919How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons?
6919How then is the production of new species to be rendered intelligible by the analogy of Agamogenesis?
6919How, then, is mud formed?
6919If they are capable of sensation, emotion, and volition, why are they to be denied thought( in the sense of predication)?
6919If you find any record of changes taking place at_ b_, did they occur before any events which took place while_ a_ was being deposited?
6919In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature?
6919In the first place, what is a species?
6919In what manner can we conceive that the_ vis viva_ of the first ball passes into the second?
6919Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter?
6919Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection?
6919Is it then still profitable to the male organism to retain it?
6919Is there among the plants the same primitive form of organisation, and is that identical with that of the animal kingdom?
6919Is there any test of a physiological species?
6919Is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature?
6919Is there no criterion of species?
6919Is this sound reasoning?
6919Nay, what becomes of an average country squire or parson?
6919Now, how many of those are absolutely extinct?
6919Now, is approbation a pleasure or a pain?
6919Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature?
6919Now, what is the effect of this oscillation?
6919Now, what is the result of all this?
6919O solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?"
6919Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain?
6919Or, to put it to the common sense of mankind, is the gratification of affection a pleasure or a pain?
6919Sed quis absconditos ejus recessus aut subterraneas abyssos pervestigavit?
6919Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences?
6919So what is the use of what you have done?"
6919That is to say, how many of these orders of animals have lived at a former period of the world''s history but have at present no representatives?
6919The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence?
6919The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock?
6919What are these"dunes"?
6919What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis?
6919What if species should offer residual phænomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection?
6919What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular?
6919What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis?
6919What is he doing?
6919What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is?
6919What is the value of the evidence which leads one to believe that one''s fellow- man feels?
6919What is this very speech that we are talking about?
6919What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification?
6919What shall a man desire more than this?
6919What thoughts, idea, or actions are there that raise him many grades above the elephant or the ape?"
6919What was the state of matters in 1859?
6919What will be the result, then?
6919What will come of a variation when you breed from it, when Atavism comes, if I may say so, to intersect variation?
6919What, then, takes place?
6919Why are the animals and plants of the Galapagos Archipelago so like those of South America and yet different from them?
6919Why are those of the several islets more or less different from one another?
6919Why do species present certain relations in space and in time?
6919Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life?
6919Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?"
6919or has it arisen by the power of natural causation?
6919or what is really the state of the case?
6919quam multa nobis animalia antea ignota offert novus orbis?
6919said his opponents;"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way?
6919that none of the phænomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way?
6919that there is such a thing as natural selection?
30249Surely,said a woman to me,"when a cat sits watching at a mouse- hole, she has some image in her mind of the mouse in its hole?"
30249A red squirrel will chip up green apples and pears for the seeds at the core: can he know, on general principles, that these fruits contain seeds?
30249Am I guilty, then, as has been charged, of preferring the deductive method of reasoning to the more modern and more scientific inductive method?
30249Because man, then, is half animal, shall we say that the animal is half man?
30249Behold the tumble- bug with her ball of dung by the roadside; where is she going with it?
30249Bring it to the hermit for his breakfast?
30249But I shall have more to say upon this point in another chapter, entitled"What do Animals Know?"
30249But do you suppose the fond creature ever comes to know why you do not want his feet upon you?
30249But how did they know of the destruction of their young, and how can we account for their concerted action?
30249But if the two hawks look alike, would not the birds come to regard them both as bird- eaters, since one of them does eat birds?
30249But if we mean by interpretation an answer to the inquiry,"What does this scene or incident suggest to you?
30249But would she not root if she had no pigs, and would not the pigs root if they had no mother?
30249Can it meet new conditions?
30249Can it solve a new problem?
30249Can we believe that the hermit crab thinks and reasons?
30249Can we find any other word for his act?
30249Could any person who knows the birds credit such a tale?
30249DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT?
30249Did it reflect and say, Now is the time for me to bend down and thrust my tip into the ground?
30249Did its parent not try to teach it?
30249Did not its act imply something more than instinct?
30249Did she hear it gnawing the roots of the grasses, or did she see a movement in the turf beneath which the grub was at work?
30249Did she make up her mind?
30249Did she think, compare, weigh?
30249Did the drouth destroy all their eggs and young, and did they know this and so come back to try again?
30249Did the raspberry bush think, or choose what it should do?
30249Did the wife tell him, or the husband?
30249Did they receive any parental instruction?
30249Do they know winter is coming?
30249Do we draw the right inference?
30249Do we get at the true meaning of the facts?
30249Do we mean the communication of knowledge, or the communication of emotion?
30249Do you think the germs from the first knot knew where to find the other plum trees?
30249Does he ring true?
30249Does he see out of the back of his head?--that is, does he see on more than one side of a thing?
30249Does it ever take to the fields and woods, and live on fruit and land- insects, and nest in trees like other thrushes?
30249Does man know his proper food in the same way?
30249Does not even an old trout know more about hooks than a young one?
30249Does not man wink, and dodge, and sneeze, and laugh, and cry, and blush, and fall in love, and do many other things without thought or will?
30249Does not solitude bring out a man''s peculiarities and differentiate him from others?
30249Does not some clue to them reach his senses?
30249Flying and walking are both modes of locomotion, and yet may we not fairly say they differ in kind?
30249Has a cat ever been known to bait a rat with a piece of cheese?
30249Has he not been struck by the thought,"I do not know which way my master is going: I will wait and see"?
30249How could a crow tell his fellows of some future event, or of some experience of the day?
30249How could a fox or a wolf instruct its young in such matters as traps?
30249How could an animal know that a man will protect it on special occasions, when ordinarily it has exactly the opposite feeling?
30249How could he tell him this thing is dangerous, this is harmless, save by his actions in the presence of those things?
30249How could she make so fine and far- seeing a judgment, wholly out of the range of brute affairs, and so purely philosophical and humanly ethical?
30249How could the bird obtain this knowledge?
30249How could the bird with its beak tear out a broad piece of paper?
30249How could the crow gain the knowledge or the experience which this trick implies?
30249How could the mare have known her companion was blind?
30249How could they do it?
30249How did she acquire all this knowledge?
30249How did she know where to drill?
30249How did they know we had had a beech- nut year?
30249How does every individual come to share in the common purpose?
30249How does he know which is the thinnest side?
30249How else shall one explain their second appearance in the marshes?
30249How it arose, what its genesis was, who can tell?
30249How should it know that there are such things as crabs?
30249How should it know that they can be taken with bait and line or by fishing for them?
30249How would the mother duck get her young up out of that well and down to the ground?
30249I am quite positive that mice will try to pull one of their fellows out of a trap, but what the motive is, who shall say?
30249I have taken persons to hear the hermit thrush, and I have fancied that they were all the time saying to themselves,"Is that all?"
30249IX DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT?
30249If a fox would bait poultry with corn, why should he not, in his wild state, bait mice and squirrels with nuts and seeds?
30249If natural selection has developed and sharpened the claws of the cat and the scent of the fox, why should it not develop and sharpen their wits also?
30249If nature study is only to exploit your own individuality, why bother about what other people have or have not seen or heard?
30249If not, where were they?
30249If so, how did they communicate the intelligence and set the whole mighty army in motion?
30249If so, how does it differ from free intelligence or judgment?
30249If the dog in such cases does not reflect, what does he do?
30249In fact, that they would die as soon in the air as in the fresh water?
30249Indeed, what is there about the wood thrush that is not pleasing?
30249Is a change of habits to meet new conditions, or the taking advantage of accidental circumstances, an evidence of sense?
30249Is he in love with the truth, or with the strange, the bizarre?
30249Is his eye single?
30249Is instinct resourceful?
30249Is it a real fit?
30249Is it because his foot would leave a scent that would give his secret away, while his nose does not?
30249Is it equally true that the high color of most fruits is to attract some hungry creature to come and eat them and thus scatter the seeds?
30249Is it fear?
30249Is it himself, then, and not the truth that he is seeking to exploit?
30249Is it not the same in a degree among men?
30249Is it probable that a mere animal reflects upon the future any more than it does upon the past?
30249Is it solicitous about the future well- being of its offspring any more than it is curious about its ancestry?
30249Is she thinking about it?
30249Is there any other animal that would act as the collie did under like circumstances?
30249Is there anything which, without great violence to language, may be called a school of the woods?
30249Is this act the result of knowledge or of experience?
30249It is not afraid of the skin itself; why should it infer that squirrels, for instance, are?
30249Many of the shells upon the beach are very showy; to what end?
30249Many of the toadstools are highly colored also; how do they profit by it?
30249May it not be because the wasps are solitary?
30249Newspaper reading tends to make one cautious-- and who does not read newspapers in these days?
30249Now am I to accept this story without question because I find it printed in a book?
30249Now, can the action of the plover in this case be explained on the theory of instinct alone?
30249Now, how did the fox know that the trap was sprung and was now harmless?
30249Now, if by interpretation we mean an answer to the question,"What does this mean?"
30249Now, what is the interpretation?
30249Or how tell of a newly found food supply save by flying eagerly to it?
30249Or were these restless spirits unable to fold their wings even in sleep?
30249Poisonous fruits are also highly colored; to what end?
30249Reason and instinct are both manifestations of intelligence, yet do they not belong to different planes?
30249Reason heeds the points of the compass and takes note of the topography of the country, but what can animals know of these things?
30249Shall we deny anything to a bird or beast that makes it more interesting, and more worthy of our study and admiration?
30249Shall we say these horses deliberately committed suicide?
30249That birds and beasts do communicate with each other, who can doubt?
30249That lusty_ caw- aw, caw- aw_ that one hears in spring and summer, like the voice of authority or command, what does it mean?
30249The bird had learned to be unafraid in the cage, and why should it be afraid out of the cage?
30249The hickory nut is almost white; why does it not seek concealment also?
30249The puzzle is, how did this masterly observer know that this state of affairs existed between this couple?
30249The songless birds-- why has Nature denied them this gift?
30249The sparrow''s song meant nothing to her at all, and how could she share the enthusiasm of the poet?
30249The ways of nature,--who can map them, or fathom them, or interpret them, or do much more than read a hint correctly here and there?
30249They are mostly down, and why should they not fall without any danger to life or limb?
30249They could not carry it with their feet, and how could they manage it with their beaks?
30249This may be all right in fiction or romance or fable, but why call the outcome natural history?
30249This moth feeds upon the nectar of flowers like the hummingbird, and why should it not have the hummingbird''s form and manner?
30249Unless the seed itself is digested, what is there to tempt the bird to devour it, or to reward it for so doing?
30249V FACTORS IN ANIMAL LIFE The question that the Californian schoolchildren put to me,"Have the birds got sense?"
30249VIII WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW?
30249WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW?
30249Was he indeed hearing the bird of his youth?
30249Was the act an act of judgment, or simply an unreasoning impulse, like so much else in the lives of the wild creatures?
30249Was the press of birds so great that they needed to keep their wings moving to ventilate the shaft, as do certain of the bees in a crowded hive?
30249Was the spot agreed upon beforehand and notice served upon all the members of the tribe?
30249Was this of itself an act of intelligence?
30249What benefit to the tree, directly or indirectly, is all this wealth of color of the autumn?
30249What can a calf or a cow know about sharpened nails, and the use of a rock to dull them?

38066But does he hold his breath all this time? 38066 But how on earth do the roots do this?
38066But suppose you lived where there was n''t any land to speak of that did n''t tip up; in New England, say-- what would you do then?
38066But what starts the movement?
38066But, what are you going to do about it?
38066For goodness sake, where_ did_ you learn your trade?
38066Horns and hoofs? 38066 Well,"you say,"is there anything left that these farmers_ do n''t_ do?"
38066Where can I get a man like that?
38066Yes, but how does the head make the arm do the pulling? 38066 You ca n''t change the slope of the hills, can you?
38066( Ca n''t you almost hear him say it?)
38066( Did you know that whether you spell this weird little creature''s first name,"praying,"with an"e"or an"a"you''d be correct?)

38066A fish or a lizard?
38066A foot?
38066And did you ever count an earthworm''s rings?
38066And do you know how she opens the flowers for the bees on sunshiny days?
38066And do you know that Nature also employs the propeller principle, not only in the operation of the wings of birds but in the wing feathers themselves?
38066And how Mrs. P. puts a stone roof on her house?

38066And how many kinds of earthworms do you suppose there are?

38066And how the phoebes that make green nests keep them green?
38066And how the sun acts as a pump for the plant world?
38066And how?
38066And is n''t it curious, when one comes to think of it, why a man should take pleasure in seeing a beautiful deer fall dead with a bullet in its heart?
38066And what for, do you suppose?
38066And what have you been doing?
38066And when these two motions-- the up and down and right and left-- are put together, do n''t you see what you get?
38066And who do you suppose had most to do with teaching men they were really brothers, and so bringing them up to the civilized life we know to- day?
38066And why swamps are such poor producers?
38066Anyhow, whoever it was, I think he was more than half right, do n''t you?

38066But, speaking of Papa Ostrich''s parental duties, did you know that it''s_ Mr._ Puffin, and not_ Mrs._ Puffin, who digs the family burrow?
38066But, speaking of the way swallows take to human society, do you know where our barn- swallows came from?
38066By the way, do you know who that man is?
38066Can you guess why?
38066Can you guess, when I tell you it''s from a French word meaning"honeycomb"?
38066Canst work i''the earth so fast?
38066Could you do it?
38066DO EARTHWORMS COME DOWN WITH THE RAIN?
38066Did anybody ever tell you how the volcanoes help the winds to help the plants to get their breath?
38066Did the brownies or the gnomes tell it; or was it some of the spirits of the wind that go everywhere and see everything?
38066Did you ever notice how big boulders in a field are frequently sunk into the ground as if dropped from a great height?
38066Did you ever try it?
38066Do n''t you see, he''s getting his dinner?
38066Do n''t you think he looks it?
38066Do n''t you think so?
38066Do n''t you think so?

38066Do you know what a gold mill is?
38066Do you know what a human nitrogen factory is like?
38066Do you know why the phoebe bird so often uses moss in building her nest?
38066Do you know why?
38066Do you wonder that the wise men of London laughed at the idea that there is any such creature-- even when they were looking right at one?]
38066Does n''t it seem funny that one of the little farmer birds-- a burrower-- should go into partnership with a lizard?
38066Does our saliva do for us anything like what it does for the earthworm; and our pancreatic juice?
38066Especially as they have no roots?
38066FIND THE THIRD Do n''t they look happy-- these two tow- heads?
38066Finally, if what we call flesh and blood can think and talk, why not a grain of dust?
38066First, they float down- stream, as you know, but when autumn comes on, what do you suppose they do?
38066For, what do you suppose the winds take for millstones in grinding down the mountains into dust?
38066From a force of sixty pounds, when it was a mere baby, what do you suppose its push amounted to when it had reached full squashhood in October?
38066HIDE AND SEEK IN THE LIBRARY Did you know that the ash and maple seeds actually have screw propellers, like a ship, so that they can ride on the wind?
38066HIDE AND SEEK IN THE LIBRARY What have burrowing animals to do with the drainage system of the land?
38066HIDE AND SEEK IN THE LIBRARY Who was that in Mother Goose that went a- fishing"for to catch a whale"?
38066HOW DID THESE FARMERS LEARN TO STORE?
38066HOW MR. LICHEN EATS UP STONES But how could such feeble creatures, as they seem to be, ever eat anything so hard as rock?
38066Have n''t you done it to your sorrow?
38066Have you any idea how far seed may be carried by a hurricane?
38066He rubs his little blinking eyes, So heavy from long sleep, That he may read the tell- tale skies-- Which is it-- wake or sleep?"
38066Here''s the_ next_ problem: Shall the mixing be done where the building is going up over there?
38066How can he?"
38066How could a tempest that blew down a tree help its seeds to get a start?
38066How did they do it?
38066How do angleworms help drain the soil?
38066How do the forests help make good use of the rain that falls, not only for themselves but for the rest of us?
38066How do the rains help to warm the ground in the spring?
38066How do they differ in the way of using their noses?
38066How do you suppose deserts that get so little rain themselves could_ help make it rain_ in other places?
38066How do you suppose such a strange idea ever got started?
38066How do you suppose they get there?
38066How does the earthworm''s method of pushing his way in the world with the end of his nose compare with the way a root works along in the ground?
38066How long do you suppose they are, these big fishworms?
38066How many hearts do you suppose an earthworm has?
38066How much do you know about the little brains scattered through our bodies(_ Ganglia_)?
38066How would you do it; even if you had tools?
38066If so, why?
38066If the worms were drowned out it would be the other way around, do n''t you see?
38066If we use untrimmed trees, which end shall we put up- stream?
38066In fact, what is flesh and blood but dust come back to life?
38066In what way does the wind help to_ produce_ the seed of grasses as well as carry and plant them?
38066Is n''t that a story for you?
38066Is n''t that queer?
38066Is n''t that right?
38066Looks like another fine day, does n''t it?"
38066Maybe this is their way of saying"Good morning,"or"How do you do?"
38066Money?
38066Mrs. Mason- Bee fills these cells with honey, lays an egg in the honey, and when the babies come along-- don''t you see?
38066Not a very pretty picture, is it?
38066Now here''s a thing; you stow away a lot of seeds in a little hill where, of course, there''s moisture, and what''s going to happen?
38066Of course, the moles do cut a root here and there occasionally when it happens to be in the way, as they tunnel along, but what does that amount to?
38066Once there was a London banker who used to go around with-- what do you think-- in his pockets?
38066Or how_ does_ he do it?
38066Or shall we use both trimmed and untrimmed trees?
38066Or the beeches before the pines?
38066Or the maples before the beeches?
38066Or, why should a boy want to kill a little bird?
38066Rather a clever unloading device, too; do n''t you think so?
38066SEE IF YOU''RE AS CLEVER AS MR. BEAVER"Right across the dam,"you would say, would n''t you?
38066Say you''ve got your trees up to where the dam is to be; now how are you going to set them in building the dam?
38066See the granary and the roads leading to it?
38066See the point?
38066Seems incredible, does n''t it?
38066Serious thing for that little boy, was n''t it?
38066Shall we use trees with the branches still on them or trees trimmed down like sticks of cord- wood?
38066So why should n''t they?
38066Speaking of"wind ploughs,"what is the object of ploughing anyway?
38066Suppose we had a stomach like the earthworm, would n''t it be fun?
38066THAT MYSTERY ABOUT THE BEAVER''S TAIL Then what_ do_ they do with those tails?
38066THE TERMITES AND THEIR TOWERS OF BABEL But speaking of big buildings, did you ever hear of a skyscraper a mile high?
38066That picture looks as if it had a tremendous lot of flamingoes in it, does n''t it?
38066That''s what any live boy would ask, would n''t he?
38066The butt or the tip?
38066The science people call them"Bacteria,"but what of that?
38066Then how do they ever get up and get planted on the shore?
38066Then how, in the name of common sense, did their bones get up into the mountains?"
38066Then what are you going to do?
38066Then what would you do; that is, if_ you_ were an ant?
38066This is what I_ felt_ like saying:"What if they do?
38066Three feet?
38066Two feet?
38066Was that the dormouse speaking?
38066Well, I guess we''ll have to tell him we do n''t know, wo n''t we?
38066What do you suppose he did that for?
38066What do you think that man did once?
38066What for?
38066What good to the soil do the insects do that eat up dead- wood?
38066What happened then?
38066What happened to it?"
38066What kind of an edge would_ you_ put on a door to make it fit tight?
38066What makes them do it?"
38066What then?
38066What then?"
38066What''s the connection?"
38066Where are you going?
38066Where?
38066Who''s got a better right?"
38066Why ca n''t they let a fellow alone?"
38066Why is it that, with the exception of a straggler here and there, the first trees to climb the stony mountainsides are the pines?
38066Why should n''t the oaks come before the maples?
38066Why, how_ are_ you?
38066Why, what always happens?
38066Why?
38066Yes, I suppose so; but what else?
38066Yet the ducks just could n''t take it into their families either, for what else do you think it does?
38066You could n''t keep your hands off a book with a name like that, could you?
38066You got fooled that time, did n''t you?
38066You have heard about the lazy man down in Arkansas with the hole in his roof?
38066You know who Hornaday is, do n''t you?
38066You see how handy that would come in, do n''t you?
38066You see why that is, do n''t you?
38066You see why, do n''t you?
38066You would n''t open the door by pushing that dear, little tender head of his against it, would you?
38066You''d hardly think that, would you?
38066[ 17] You''ve often noticed them, have n''t you?
38066[ 20] Is n''t that the way a toad swallows an angleworm?

38066[ Illustration: WHOSE AUTOGRAPH IS THIS?
5273Do we consider the deficiency of this sixth sense in man as the slightest evidence against design? 5273 What Is Darwinism?
5273Why do n''t he say,cries the theologian,"that the complicated organs of plants and animals are the product of the divine intelligence?
5273[ III-14] What does the difference between Mr. Darwin and his reviewer now amount to? 5273 A good deal may be made of this, but does it sustain the indictment? 5273 And if individuals alone exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of species?
5273And who that is convinced of this can long undoubtingly hold the original distinctness of turnips from cabbages as an article of faith?
5273And why not suppose that the finder of the watch, or of the watch- wheel, infers both design and human workmanship?
5273And would an explanation of the mode in which those woodpeckers came to be green, however complete, convince him that the color was undesigned?
5273Are they veritable Melchizedeks, without pedigree or early relationship, and possibly fated to be without descent?
5273As the intellectual connection here is realized through the material connection, why may it not be so in the case of species and genera?
5273As to the latter, is the common apprehension and sense of mankind in this regard well grounded?
5273Because natural, that is,"stated, fixed, or settled,"is it any the less designed on that account?
5273But does the one really exclude the other?
5273But how would it be if you saw the men doing the same thing over and over?
5273But how?
5273But is it a teleology, or rather-- to use the new- fangled term-- a dysteleology?
5273But now, as the genus and the species have no material existence, how can they vary?
5273But what is the position of the reviewer upon his own interpretation of these passages?
5273But what of the vast majority that perish?
5273But where is there the slightest evidence of a common progenitor?
5273But why not say the same of the aurochs, contemporary both of the old man and of the new?
5273But would any of them be preserved and carried to an equal degree of deviation?
5273But you will ask me,''Do you, then, reject the doctrine of evolution?
5273But, this being proved is it now very improbable that both were derived from the almond, or from some common amygdaline progenitor?
5273Can it be that there was no design, no designer, directing the powers of life in the formation of this wonderful organ?
5273Can the derivative hypothesis be maintained and carried out into a system on similar grounds?
5273Can we rightly reason from our own intelligence and powers to a higher or a supreme intelligence ordering and shaping the system of Nature?
5273Could she accomplish similar results when left to herself?
5273Do order and useful- working collocation, pervading a system throughout all its parts, prove design?
5273Do you accept the creation of species directly and without secondary agencies and processes?''
5273Does the investigation of physical causes stand opposed to the theological view and the study of the harmonies between mind and Nature?
5273First, Do they die out as a matter of fact?
5273For it is still to ask: whence this rich endowment of matter?
5273Have these changes modified in the slightest degree the supposed evidence of design?"
5273Have they had a career, and can that career be ascertained or surmised, so that we may at least guess whence they came, and how, and when?
5273Have we not similar grounds for inferring design in the supposed varieties of species, that we have in the case of the supposed species of a genus?
5273He set before himself a single problem-- namely, How are the fauna and flora of our earth to be accounted for?
5273How came they to be applied to natural selection by a divine who professes that God ordained whatsoever cometh to pass?
5273How could he know whether the blow was intentional or not?
5273How if you at length discovered a profitable end of the operation, say the winning of a wager?
5273How many of the land animals and plants which are enumerated in the Massachusetts official reports would it be likely to contain?
5273How moving them?
5273How, then, can we suppose Chance to be the author of a system in which everything is as regular as clockwork?
5273II Do Species wear out?
5273If any of us were born unlike our parents and grandparents, in a slight degree, or in whatever degree, would the case be altered in this regard?
5273If only individual chairs exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of the species?
5273If species do not exist at all, as the supporters of the transmutation theory maintain, how can they vary?
5273If that does not refer the efficiency of physical causes to the First Cause, what form of words could do so?
5273Is it compatible with our seemingly inbore conception of Nature as an ordered system?
5273Is there anything in Nature which in the long- run may answer to artificial selection?
5273It is asked, If the first was so created for its obvious and actual use, and the second for such use as it has, what was the design of the third?
5273More than this, is it not most presumable that an intellectual conception realized in Nature would be realized through natural agencies?
5273Now, if the eye as it is, or has become, so convincingly argued design why not each particular step or part of this result?
5273Now, is not all this a question of degree, of mere gradation of difference?
5273Now, the question is, Does this involve the destruction or only the reconstruction of our consecrated ideas of teleology?
5273Now, where is the design in all this?
5273Or are they now coming upon the stage-- or rather were they coming but for man''s interference-- to play a part in the future?
5273Or are they remnants, sole and scanty survivors of a race that has played a grander part in the past, but is now verging to extinction?
5273Or, pourquoi la reproduction est- elle possible, habituelle, feconde indefiniment, entre des etres organises que nous dirons de la meme espece?
5273Rather does not the proof extend to the intermediate species, and go to show that all four were equally designed?
5273Shall we quarrel with Science if she should show how these words are true?
5273Should we be less apt to infer creative wisdom if we had only four senses instead of five, or three instead of four?
5273So in the counterpart case of natural selection: must we not infer intention from the arrangements and the results?
5273So it has been asked, If a man can make a telescope, why can not God make a telescope which produces others like itself?
5273So the question comes to this: What will an hypothesis of the derivation of species explain which the opposing view leaves unexplained?
5273Such being the results of the want of adequate knowledge, how is it likely to be when our knowledge is largely increased?
5273The practical question will only be, How much difference between two sets of individuals entitles them to rank under distinct species?
5273The questions,"What will he do with it?"
5273This raises the question, Why does Darwin press his theory to these extreme conclusions?
5273To the triumphant outcry,"How can an organ, such as an eye, be formed under Nature?"
5273To which we reply by asking, Which does the question refer to, the category of thought, or the individual embodiment?
5273VIII WHAT IS DARWINISM?
5273Viewed philosophically, the question only is, Which is the better supported hypothesis of the two?
5273Was this the result of a mere Epicurean or Lucretian"fortuitous concourse"of living"atoms"?
5273Well, if this be so, why denounce the modern man of science so severely upon the other page merely for accepting the permission?
5273Were the old alchemists atheists as well as dreamers in their attempts to transmute earth into gold?
5273What are these probabilities?
5273What better evidence for such hypothesis could we have than the variations and grades which connect these species with each other?
5273What is now to be thought of the ordinary glandular hairs which render the surface of many and the most various plants extremely viscid?
5273What is the bearing of these remarkable adaptations and operations upon doctrines of evolution?
5273What more than this could be said for such an hypothesis?
5273What work will this hypothesis do to establish a claim to be adopted in its completeness?
5273What would come of it?
5273What, then, are organs not adapted to use marks of?
5273When plants are seen to move and to devour, what faculties are left that are distinctively animal?
5273Whence comes that of which all we see and know is the outcome?
5273Who shall decide between such extreme views so ably maintained on either hand, and say how much of truth there may be in each?
5273Why do all hypotheses of derivation converge so inevitably to one ultimate point?
5273Why is this, but that the link of generation has been sundered?
5273Why may not the new species, or some of them, be designed diversifications of the old?
5273Why not?
5273Why should these plants take to organic food more than others?
5273Why should time be lost by this preliminary and incomplete closing?
5273Why these two stages?
5273Why this continual striving after"the unattained and dim?"
5273Why, but because, by their complete extinction in South America, the line of descent was there utterly broken?
5273Would they doubt, or deny my intention, on that account?
5273XII DURATION AND ORIGINATION OF RACE AND SPECIES-- IMPORT OF SEXUAL REPRODUCTION I Do Varieties wear out, or tend to wear out?
5273[ VIII-1] The Nation, May 28, 1874) The question which Dr. Hodge asks he promptly and decisively answers:"What is Darwinism?
5273and if not, why not?
5273and if they varied it by other arrangements of the balls or of the blow, and these were followed by analogous results?
5273and"How far will he carry it?"
5273or, does it tend to atheism or pantheism?

2088How can water injure the leaves if indeed this is at all the case?
2088Lord Mayor.--Probably the clergyman of the parish might exert some influence over them? 2088 MUST YOU NOT ASSUME A PRIMEVAL CREATIVE POWER WHICH DOES NOT ACT WITH UNIFORMITY, OR HOW COULD MAN SUPERVENE?"
2088Will England play this part? 2088 ( Do you mean LIVING naturalists?) 2088 ( In a letter to Mr. Huxley my father wrote:Have you seen the last"Saturday Review"?
2088), and I like it much; but did you ever see a book so badly arranged?
2088); is the paging right, namely, 1, 2, 3?

2088Again, are bloo- protected plants common on your DRY western plains?
2088All that you say seems very sensible, but could a review in the strict sense of the word be filled with readable matter?
2088Also do you know from your own observation that the limbs of sheep imported into the West Indies change colour?
2088And now, can you advise me how to make soil approximately free of all the substances which plants naturally absorb?
2088Are such plants commoner in warm than in colder climates?
2088Are the IMPERFECT flowers of your Specularia the early or the later ones?
2088Are there any bloo- protected leaves or fruit in the Arctic regions?
2088Are they brightly coloured kinds?
2088Are you inclined to aid me on the mere chance of success, for without your aid I could do hardly anything?"]
2088Are you sure that the Hive- bee is the cutter?
2088As an account of the movement, I shall allude to what I suppose is Oncidium, to make CERTAIN,--is the enclosed flower with crumpled petals this genus?
2088But does not the difficulty rest much on our silently assuming that we know more than we do?
2088But how is it in the conjugation of Confervae-- is not one of the two individuals here in fact male, and the other female?
2088But of what avail is his honest speech, if ignorance is the assessor of the judge, and prejudice the foreman of the jury?
2088CARD PLAYING?
2088CHESS?
2088COLOURING?
2088COMPLETENESS?
2088Can aquatic plants, being confined to a small area or small community of individuals, require more free crossing, and therefore have separate sexes?
2088Can you give me any light?
2088Can you let me have it soon, with those confounded dashes over the vowels put in carefully?
2088Can you pay us a visit, early in December?...
2088Can you spare time for a line to our dear Mrs. Cameron?
2088Can you suggest any plan?
2088Can you tell me whether you believe further or more firmly than you did at first?
2088Can you throw any light on this?
2088Chief omissions?
2088Colour of hair?
2088Conducive to health or otherwise?
2088Conducive to or restrictive of habits of observation?
2088Could you spare me a photograph of yourself?
2088Could you tell me pretty soon what plants you can give me; and then I shall know what to order?
2088DEFINITION?
2088Development is a better word, because more close to the cause of the fact?
2088Did you ever hear of her?
2088Did you perceive the argumentum ad hominem Huxley about kangaroo and bear?
2088Did you read a review in a late''Edinburgh?''
2088Do n''t you think so?
2088Do the Tineina or other small Moths suck Flowers, and if so what Flowers?
2088Do the introduced hive- bees replace any other insect?
2088Do they belong to the same species?
2088Do you intend to follow out your views, and if so, would you like at some future time to have my few references and notes?
2088Do you know who?"
2088Do you know''Silas Marner''?
2088Do you not think you ought to have the age of the answerer?
2088Do your scientific tastes appear to have been innate?
2088Does Bentham progress at all?
2088Does it not hurt your Yankee pride that we thrash you so confoundedly?
2088Does not Lyell give some argument about varieties being difficult to keep[ true] on account of pollen from other plants?

2088Farewell, shall you be at Oxford?
2088For do you not now begin to doubt whether you can conquer and hold them?
2088For how could you influence Jupiter Olympius and make him give three and a half columns to pure science?
2088GEOGRAPHY?
2088GEOMETRY?
2088HEALTH?
2088HEIGHT, ETC?
2088Has he a copy?
2088Has the problem of the later stages of reduction of useless structures ever perplexed you?
2088Has the religious creed taught in your youth had any deterrent effect on the freedom of your researches?
2088Has this been observed?
2088Has this fact been observed with more than one species?
2088Have not some Australian extinct forms been lately found in Australia?
2088Have you begun it?...
2088Have you ever read Huxley''s little book of Lectures?
2088Have you finished it?
2088Have you had time for any Natural History?...
2088Have you had time to read poor dear Henslow''s life?
2088Have you kept them tame?
2088Have you read the''Woman in White''?
2088Have you seen Wollaston''s attack in the''Annals''?
2088Have you seen the"Reader"?
2088He adds that in the case of the author"the restless curiosity of the child to know the''what for?''
2088Here is another point; have you any toucans?
2088Hooker says you did; where is it?
2088Hooker:] Dear Sir, Will you excuse my venturing to ask you a question, to which no one''s answer but your own would be quite satisfactory?
2088How about photographs?
2088How absurd that logical quibble--"if species do not exist, how can they vary?"
2088How could a complex organisation profit a monad?
2088How could the wind, which is the agent of fertilisation, with Plantago, fertilise"reciprocally dimorphic"flowers like Primula?
2088How does your book on plants brew in your mind?
2088How gets on your book?
2088How is your health?
2088How shall you manage to allude to your New Zealand and Tierra del Fuego work?
2088How taught?
2088I constantly asked myself, would a stranger care for this?
2088I dare say I have not been guarded enough, but might not the term inferiority include less perfect adaptation to physical conditions?
2088I find my old results about the astonishing sensitiveness of the nervous system(!?
2088I have been trying a good many experiments with heated water... Should you not call the following case one of heat rigor?
2088I never knew that he wrote in the"Saturday"; and was it not an odd chance?"
2088I suppose that there are no organic fluids which plants would absorb, and which I could procure?
2088I suppose white silver sand, sold for cleaning harness, etc., is nearly pure silica, but what am I to do for alumina?
2088ILLUMINATION?
2088INDEPENDENCE OF JUDGMENT?
2088If you should happen to be ACQUAINTED with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is?
2088In the first place, at page 480, it can not surely be said that the most eminent naturalists have rejected the view of the mutability of species?
2088Indeed, any dried dimorphic plants would be gratefully received... Did my Lythrum paper interest you?
2088Is a shudder akin to the rigor or shivering before fever?
2088Is it not also a difficulty that quadrupeds appear to recognise plants more by their[ scent] than their appearance?
2088Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body?
2088Is it not humiliating to be thus killed by a man of eighty- six, who evidently never dreamed that he was killing me?
2088Is not this latter case heat rigor?
2088Is not this marvellous?
2088Is not your feeling a remnant of the deeply impressed one on all our minds, that a species is an entity, something quite distinct from a variety?
2088Is she aught but a pestilent abstraction, like dust cast in our eyes to obscure the workings of an Intelligent First Cause of all?"
2088Is there any analogous term used by German breeders of animals?
2088Is there any truth in this fact generally?
2088Is this not curious?

2088Might I ask, if you succeed in discovering what the creatures are, you would have the great kindness to inform me?
2088Moreover, as you say, higher forms might be occasionally degraded, the snake Typhlops SEEMS(?!)
2088My dear Hooker, What is the good of having a friend, if one may not boast to him?
2088My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully and artistically coloured?
2088My question is-- Do you know of any solid substance in the cells of plants which glycerine and water dissolves?
2088NUMERALS?
2088Now can you tell me, does S. perfoliata close its flower like S. speculum, with angular inward folds?
2088Now will you grant me this favour?
2088Now, with your ease in writing, and with knowledge at your fingers''ends, do you not think you could write a popular Treatise on Zoology?

2088ORIGINALITY OR ECCENTRICITY?
2088Or is this all rubbish?

2088TEMPERAMENT?
2088Talking of medals, has Falconer had the Royal?
2088Tell me, was Lyell pleased?
2088The following strongly expressed opinion about it may be worth quoting:--"Have you read Buckle''s second volume?
2088The public may well say, if such a man dare not or will not speak out his mind, how can we who are ignorant form even a guess on the subject?
2088Through what trials and sore contests the civilised world will have to pass in the course of this new reformation, who can tell?
2088WILL YOU DO ME THE GREAT KINDNESS TO CONSIDER THIS WELL?
2088Was Wallace pleased?
2088Was it Cycas pectinata?
2088Was there ever such a monster seen before?
2088We all admit development as a fact of history: but how came it about?
2088Were they determined by any and what events?
2088What am I to think of this.?...
2088What are her image and attributes, when dragged from her wordy lurking- place?
2088What makes a tuft of feathers come on a cock''s head, or moss on a moss- rose?
2088What sexual differences are there in monkeys?
2088What was the date of publication: December 1859, or January 1860?
2088When will peace come?
2088Who can it be?
2088Who can say to which of these causes to attribute the several plants with heath- like foliage at the Cape of Good Hope?
2088Who can the author be?
2088Who is she?
2088Will he read my book?
2088Will you give me one for this purpose?
2088Will you give us one line about the whales?
2088Will you have the kindness to turn this in your mind?
2088Will you provisionally give me permission to reprint your article as a shilling pamphlet?
2088Will you think over this, and some time, either by letter or when we meet, tell me what you think?
2088Would it do to send my tax- cart early in the morning, on a day that was not frosty, lining the cart with mats, and arriving here before night?
2088Would not the Zoological Society be the best place?
2088Yet why do deaf men generally keep their mouths open?

2088published?
2088so that some of the difficulty is removed; and is it not satisfactory that my hypothetical notions should have led to pretty discoveries?
2088the''why?''
2088very early or very late?
2088will one male impregnate more than one female?
42845And why not be thus_ permeated_?
42845But what do I see now? 42845 But what need of other animals?
42845Madame, why is it that you prefer this tree of a dubious red, to all the precious stones?
42845That being which we call the Sea,--is it a parasite of the vast animal which we call the Earth? 42845 What are those wild waves saying?"
42845A grave point is the choice of a house; and who shall direct you as to that?
42845An art not merely to survive the Tempest but even to make it useful?
42845And from that Italy how often have we had great and beautiful tidings?
42845And how many are sent from America, from France, from Holland-- from everywhere?
42845And in what proportion?
42845And the learned M. Forbes who has so deeply studied them, very aptly asks, what is there astonishing in that?
42845And the stranger says to them,"Shall you not have bad weather, think you?"
42845And what are our present tidings from Florence?
42845And what can one get to eat?
42845And what has been the consequence?
42845And what have they brought back?
42845And who shall teach us to quicken and obey that sense?
42845And why so?
42845And why?
42845And will she not speedily fulfil her threat?
42845And, for the matter of that, why need we depend upon the State to do this great thing?
42845And, in fact, is it not from her that life primitively sprang?
42845And, in fact, why should not water be the safety of man?
42845And, in truth, he was a bold man who conceived the notion of erecting a beacon here, amidst the waters; what say I?
42845And, the inference?
42845And, then, in fact, what does it matter about the length of the task?
42845And,"what are those wild waves saying?"
42845Are her tides ruled only by the sun and moon?
42845Are its lowest depths peopled?
42845Are there any marshes in the neighborhood?
42845Are these mere forms of style, simple comparisons?
42845Are they gelatinous or fleecy?
42845Are we then to suppose that death preceded life?
42845Are ye not surfeited with wrecked ships and slain men?
42845But are they, in feet, entirely Dreams?
42845But at what cost are we doing all this?
42845But do there now exist any remains, any whole, or even partial, skeletons of these creatures?
42845But do you therefore suppose that they are utterly inert?
42845But how does the globe act?
42845But how is it possible that such a mistake could be made?
42845But how is organization to pass from creatures of the sea to creatures of both sea and land?
42845But how long?
42845But how?
42845But is this saying enough?
42845But it will be asked--"If these creatures really existed, how is it that we do not see them now?"
42845But still, who had overcome the great obstacle of religious repugnance?
42845But under what law do they produce this effect?
42845But what could man do against the enormous fecundity of the cod?
42845But what does it now proceed to exhibit?
42845But what has he done with the first, with his mother, and his nurse?
42845But what is their relative proportion?
42845But what is to be done?
42845But who knows if the captive and slumbering life which you, for instance, despise in the oyster or the snail, or the slug, be not in truth a progress?
42845But who knows?
42845But who shall be their interpreter; who shall give us the keynote to their harmony, mysterious harmony-- but Harmony doubtless?
42845But why was it so difficult to discover the already discovered America?
42845But you ask, what does she want with you?
42845Can we prudently take to the sea- bath until the sea breeze shall have trained our physical frame?
42845Can we, safely, without preparation, without alteration of diet and of habits, be suddenly removed from an inland to a maritime abode?
42845Come nightfall, he asks himself whether he will be quite safe in a wide open lodging?
42845Could I have written that book in any other place?
42845Do they know what they thus swallow?
42845Do they reply to her?
42845Do we give our children any of these?
42845Do we love them?
42845Do we not from all sides hear of your horrid triumphs?
42845Do you ask why her instinct so quickly reveals creation to her; why she enters as one so thoroughly at home, into the great mystery of Nature?
42845Do you fancy, then, that this Russian or that Backwoodsman, can replace, at need, a mechanic of London or an optician of Paris?
42845Does it thunder?
42845Does not our earth feel the attraction of yet other globes?
42845Does some gentle patient ask us on what people live, in those marine solitudes?
42845Dogs and wolves, do I say?
42845Elephants?
42845For creatures so elementary, would nature go to the expense of a complicated generation?
42845For what was to be done with so many of those huge creatures, each of which had so much blood and so much oil?
42845For, in very truth, what are man''s best works, but the realization of the Almighty will and the great directing mercy?
42845Great and terrible servitudes those; how were they to be remedied?
42845Had he seen, in the possession of his master, the king of Portugal, a chart which had it so laid down?
42845Have the Medusæ this same sense?
42845Have the Missionaries, whether Catholic or Protestant, made any converts?
42845Have we really seen it, this lovely scene?
42845Her anchor once tripped, who can tell whither the good ship may be urged by some sudden wind, or some unsuspected but irresistible current?
42845How are we to imagine that the creative power which we observe in every being on the globe can be denied to the globe itself?"
42845How at the present time does it obtain accretion?
42845How between this great and salutary, but somewhat rude, strength and our weakness, can there be any connection?
42845How has the imprudent creature set out?
42845How is that to be?
42845How know we that, do you ask?
42845How ready we were to exclaim:"Cordouan, Cordouan, pale phantom, can you show yourself only to conjure up the storm, and the storm fiend?"
42845How would it be if the human hand could hear and smell?
42845How, without sails, or oars, or helm, has she left her port?
42845If Beatrice of Florence could influence her father to found such a home, such a saving refuge, can not we women of France do as much?
42845If only the stature and bulk of man were given to them, who, who, and by what means, could engage with them?
42845Imaginary?
42845In brief, if the Tempest has its_ science_, can we not create and use an_ art_?
42845In throwing up that column towards the sky the_ panting blower_ seems to say,"Oh, nature, why hast thou made me a serf?"
42845Is it a caprice, as with so many beings that throw out their sparkles and flashes of a vain and inconstant joy?
42845Is it an effect of Heat?
42845Is it animal warmth that you lack?
42845Is it in part a physical effect like that which gives their serpentine motion to the Salpas, injected with fire?
42845Is it not the universal element of life?
42845Is it that we are less beautiful, or are you less truly in Love?"
42845Is it the fault of the sea, if this beach is treacherous?
42845Is it the result of the numberless deaths which furnish forth materials for new lives?
42845Is it true that Magellan, before his great enterprise, had seen the Pacific laid down upon a globe by the German, Behaim?
42845Is it, as others think, and as some observations would lead us to believe, an act of aspiration?
42845Is not the land large enough?
42845Is that a freak of nature?
42845Is the Whale, therefore, a terrestrial animal?
42845Is the sea very pure, or mixed?
42845Is this to affirm that these creatures might have ascended to us?
42845Kill them afterwards?
42845Life, at those times, seems to borrow human voice, and to ask,--"Can I possibly last?"
42845Might you not, now that you are thus sheltered, fancy yourself a hundred leagues from the sea?
42845Millions, tens of millions, tens of thousands of millions;--who can even guess at the number of those hosts upon hosts?
42845More productive than the land?
42845Must such people come to the Sea to martyrize the sick and to vulgarize the majesty of the Sea, that wild and true grandeur?
42845Nature?
42845No sooner has he landed in Haiti, than he enquires,"where is the gold?
42845Of some benevolent thing which at certain hours returns to refresh and nourish them?
42845On what?
42845Or an appeal to that rapture of love which alone consoles us here below?
42845Or do they spring up spontaneously, and, in vulgar phrase,"like mushrooms?"
42845Or should it not rather suggest to us some melancholy dream of an impossible destiny which is never to attain its end?
42845Or that we have descended from them?
42845Or were the reality and the impression alike true?
42845Or, is it the silent but undying memory of the persecuted Protestants?
42845Our voyages, upon which we moderns, and more especially the learned, so plume ourselves, have they been really, or at all, servicable to the savages?
42845Ritter and Lyell say:"The Earth labors herself; can she be impotent to organise herself?
42845Shall I give you my opinion?
42845Should they not be the grand moving powers which have created the currents of the sea, put the immense machine into motion?
42845Should we not far rather imagine that in these masses there is a mixture of animality?
42845So much nursing gentleness and so much destroying fury; have we not here a great contradiction?
42845That they have no confused idea of Love and the Unknown?
42845That viscuousness which water in general presents?
42845The devourers and the devoured, were they two nations of different origin?
42845They beg, they pray, they insist-- and who is to resist them?
42845They must be enormously expensive; and who pays the cost?
42845Upon land, we take care of our_ Horses_; why not PRESERVE THE SEA?
42845Was all this attributable to my worn brain and wearied eyes?
42845Was he a lunatic?
42845Was he late in displaying his guiding light?
42845Was it an entity, or a delusion?
42845Was it at our antipodes?
42845Was she dying or already dead?
42845Was this land of gold, Paradise, or was it not?
42845We have spoken of mere atomies; but are there, in reality, any such?
42845Whales?
42845What became of the crew?
42845What can the creature there do with his strength?
42845What has caused this great change, created the terrestrial Dugong, and his brother the Walrus?
42845What if the rotifer could conceive, for instance, the superb, the colossal starred sponge, which one may see in the Museum at Paris?
42845What is her point of departure?
42845What is it that makes amends for so much of inferiority in the means of the man?
42845What is it?
42845What is the nature of their amours?
42845What is the precise exposition?
42845What is the real extent of the ocean?
42845What is the use of merely seeing that desert, when, in the very act of seeing it you make it either depopulated or hostile?
42845What more could be required?
42845What more, I ask, do ye demand?
42845What most tempts man?
42845What precautions have been taken?
42845What the result?
42845What union can there be between elements so greatly disproportioned?
42845What was the meaning of all this cruel slaughter?
42845What was the original idea?
42845What would become of you if we should die?
42845What, then, is that other power?
42845What?
42845What_ is_ that?
42845Whatever may be your choice, Madame, between these two kinds of house, do you know what I heartily wish for you?
42845Where are these first sketches of animality made?
42845Where are we to look for the primitive scene of organization?
42845Where do these wonders commence?
42845Where lived it?
42845Which will it first produce, the vegetable- animal, or the animal- vegetable?
42845Who can even imagine how many ships and how many men are saved by these beneficent beacons?
42845Who can foresee or guess the history of this drop of water?
42845Who can forget that for ten years Ramon, in vain, sought to reach Mount Perdu, though often within sight of it?
42845Who discovered the secrets of the Globe?
42845Who does not know that Roscoff raises fruit and vegetables in such profusion as to sell them cheaply, even in Normandy?
42845Who first saw America?
42845Who has developed the currents, those regular fluctuation of the abysses into which we never descend?
42845Who has got gold?"
42845Who has not noted with pity the painful efforts of the shell- less mollusc, as he grovels along on his unguarded belly?
42845Who has summoned him?
42845Who has taught us the geography of those dark waters?
42845Who is it that tells us this?
42845Who is really dead?
42845Who knows whether this vital_ circulus_ of the marine animality is not the starting point of all physical_ circulus_?
42845Who opened up to men the great distant navigation?
42845Who revealed the Ocean, and marked out its zones and its liquid highways?
42845Whose eloquence, tact, and perseverance, in fact set the expedition fairly afloat?
42845Why can not I, with a single word, build you just such a villa as I have in my mind?
42845Why has that name of terror been given to a creature so charming?
42845Why have I been permitted to see for a moment that immense flood of light?
42845Why is it that in this matter America, so young, has outstripped Europe, so old?
42845Why is that?
42845Why not make that bay sacred to it?
42845Why not_ protect the breeding Season of the Ocean_?
42845Why, then, when we feel ourselves sinking, do we not repair for restoration to the abounding source of life?
42845Why?
42845Why?
42845Why?
42845Will not some inquisitives intrude a look-- who knows-- may not some one find the way in with claw and tooth as well as glance?
42845Will that warm sea be found again?
42845Would not one month be enough?
42845Yet among those animal mountains, where will you find the vivacity, the ardor of vitality, displayed by the rotifer?
42845_ Have_ they any amours?
42845_ Laughably_, said I?
42845_ Nothing?_ Say, rather, everything.
42845and, in fact, have we any antipodes?
42845de Saint Vincent; viz: What is the_ mucus_ of the Sea?
42845may we venture to call it so?
42845what more do ye require?
18335Life is a wave,says Tyndall, but does not one conceive of something, some force or impulse in the wave that is not of the wave?
18335A philosopher can not well afford to assume the air of lofty indifference that the poet Whitman does when he asks,"Do I contradict myself?
18335A straight line has direction, that is mechanics; what direction has the circle?
18335After we have got the spark of life kindled, how are we going to get all the myriad forms of life that swarm upon the earth?
18335All individual life begins with the egg, but where did we get the egg?
18335Are biophysics and geophysics one and the same?
18335Are morphological processes identical with chemical ones?
18335Are the darting electrons any more vital than the shooting- stars?
18335Are we as wide of the mark as they were?
18335Are we not also certain that the pump sucks the water up through the pipe, and that we suck our iced drinks through a straw?
18335Are we not thinking of the far cry it is from man to inorganic nature?
18335Are you likely to extract Homer out of the rattling of dice, or the Differential Calculus out of the clash of billiard balls?"
18335As we go down the scale toward the inorganic, can we find the point where the living and the non- living meet and become one?
18335Before there was any protoplasm, what brought about the stupendous change of the dead into the living?
18335Biology, then, is only mechanics and chemistry engaged in a new rôle without any change of character; but what put them up to this new rôle?
18335But can atomic energy be translated into the motion of ponderable bodies, or mass energy?
18335But can we think of the atoms in a chemical compound as being next one another, or merely in juxtaposition?
18335But even in this case can we not say that the mainspring of the energy of living bodies is the life that is in them?
18335But if a body loses its vitality, its life, can we by the power of chemistry, or any other power within our reach, bring the vitality back to it?
18335But if life, with all that has come out of it, did not come by way of matter and energy, by what way did it come?
18335But is not this molecular force itself a form of solar energy, and can it differ in kind from any other form of physical force?
18335But is there not a previous question?
18335But living force is what we are trying to differentiate from mechanical force, and what do we gain by confounding the two?
18335But only the green leaf can produce chlorophyll; and yet, which was first, the leaf or the chlorophyll?
18335But what is life?
18335But what is science but a kind of anthropomorphism?
18335But what is the secret of the cell itself?
18335But without some indwelling principle of development and progress, how could the new wants arise?
18335But would these accidental peculiarities be constant?
18335Can a flash of radium emanations on a zinc- sulphide plate kindle the precious spark?
18335Can a part be greater than the whole?
18335Can our faith in the divinity of matter measure up to this standard?
18335Can oxygen be anything but oxygen, or carbon anything but carbon?
18335Can soul arise out of a soulless universe?
18335Can the psychic dominate the physical out of which it came?
18335Can there be any halfway house between something and nothing?
18335Can we do any better than to call it the Spirit of the Body?
18335Can we evoke life from the omnipotent ether, or see it arise in the whirling stream of atoms and electrons?
18335Can we make the dead live?
18335Can we on any better philosophical grounds say that there is a principle of vitality, though the earth swarms with living beings?
18335Can we see where the tremendous change from the non- living to the living takes place?
18335Chemical changes, undoubtedly, but what brings about the chemical changes?
18335Clay is certainly the physical basis of the potter''s art, but would there be any pottery in the world if it contained only clay?
18335Could any vitalist, or Bergsonian idealist have stated his case better?
18335Could one by analyzing a hive of bees find out the secret of its organization-- its unity as an aggregate of living insects?
18335Could we have foretold the future of any form of life from its remote beginnings?
18335Did it arise spontaneously out of dead matter?
18335Did not Emerson in his first poem,"The Sphinx,"sing of Journeying atoms, Primordial wholes?
18335Did the earth itself bring forth a man, or did something breathe upon the inert clay till it became a living spirit?
18335Do accidents happen millions of times in the same way?
18335Do we not have to think of the potter?
18335Do we not rather have to think of them as identified with one another to an extent that has no parallel in the world of ponderable bodies?
18335Do we not then have to supply a non- chemical, a non- physical force or factor to account for the living body?
18335Do we not want inheritance and adaptation accounted for?
18335Does any chemical process give the mind any separate reality to take hold of?
18335Does not a bird possess a higher degree of life than a mollusk, or a turtle?
18335Does not a man imply a cooler planet and a greater depth and refinement of soil than a dinosaur?
18335Does the river- bed account for the river?
18335Does the sequence of life have no end?
18335Force was certainly expended in doing this, and if the life in the sprouting nut did not exert it or expend it, what did?
18335Had the air been differently constituted, would not our lungs have been different?
18335Had we known any of the animal forms in his line of ascent, could we have foretold man as we know him to- day?
18335Has the"fitness of the environment"ever been questioned?
18335Has this"ultimate molecule of life"any more scientific or philosophical validity than the old conception of a vital force?
18335How are we going to get man with physics and chemistry alone?
18335How are we going to get these things out of the old physics and chemistry without some new factor or agent or force?
18335How are we going to get this tremendous drama of evolution out of mere protoplasm from the bottom of the old geologic seas?
18335How can a body adapt itself to its environment unless it possess an inherent, plastic, changing, and adaptive principle?
18335How can they be any other?
18335How could it be otherwise?
18335How else could it come?
18335How is it that a million muscle cells remain alike, collectively ready to respond to a nerve impulse?"
18335How many millions or trillions of times does the rose divide its heart in the perfume it sheds so freely upon the air?
18335II Where, then, shall we look for the key to this mysterious thing we call life?
18335III When we are bold enough to ask the question, Is life an addition to matter or an evolution from matter?
18335If I question the forces about me, what answer do I get?
18335If evolution pursued a course equally fortuitous, would it not still be wandering in the wilderness of the chaotic nebulà ¦?
18335If it was not life which exerted this force, what was it?
18335If so, by what?
18335If so, what made them diverge and develop into such totally different forms?
18335If the forces are purely automatic, why not?
18335If the gods of the inorganic elements are neither for nor against us, but utterly indifferent to us, how came we here?
18335If we limit the natural to the inorganic order, then are living bodies supernatural?
18335If we say it was nature, do we mean by nature a physical force or an immaterial principle?
18335If we say the particular essence of life is chemical, do we mean any more than that life is inseparable from chemical reactions?
18335If we were to see and hear it for the first time, should we not think that the Judgment Day had really come?
18335In every machine, properly so called, all the factors are known; but do we know all the factors in a living body?
18335In like manner can, or does, this potential life of the world of atoms and electrons give rise to organized living beings?
18335In the presence of a rudimentary intelligence, do they still follow that law, or do they now obey another law-- the law of a die that is loaded?"
18335Is biology to be interpreted in the same physical and chemical terms as geology?
18335Is it any more or any less?
18335Is it not like accounting for a baby in terms of its breathing and eating?
18335Is life outside this circle?
18335Is magnetism or gravitation a real thing?
18335Is not a brook trout more alive than a mud- sucker?
18335Is not geology also applied physics and chemistry?
18335Is not the peristaltic movement of the bowels, by which the solid matter is removed, also a vital phenomenon?
18335Is not this conceding to the vitalists all that they claim?
18335Is radio- active matter any nearer living matter than is the clod under foot?
18335Is that a hard proposition?
18335Is the spirit of a race or a nation, or of the times in which we live, another illustration of the same mysterious entity?
18335Is there a spirit of fire, or of decay, or of disease, or of health?
18335Is there any chance that they will hit upon a combination of things and forces that will make a machine-- a watch, a gun, or even a row of pins?
18335Is there any room for the moral law in a world of mechanical determinism?
18335Is there no difference between the growth of a plant or an animal, and the increase in size of a sand- bank or a snow- bank, or a river delta?
18335Is there not molecular attraction and repulsion in a steam- engine also?
18335Is there not room here for something besides blind, indifferent forces?
18335Is what we call life the result of their various new combinations?
18335It is certain that this circle does not always include life, but can life exist outside this circle?
18335It is some living thing; but what is a living thing, and how does it differ from a mechanical and non- living thing?
18335Life accounts for protoplasm, but what accounts for life?
18335Little wonder that the good people are asking, Have we lost faith?
18335May not life be spontaneous in the same sense?
18335May not life itself be the outcome of a peculiar whirl of the ultimate atoms of matter?
18335Must he not bring a new force, an alien power?
18335Must we go outside of matter itself, and of chemical reactions, to account for it?
18335Nearly nine tenths of a living body is water; is not this water the same as the water we get at the spring or the brook?
18335No doubt at all that if these processes were arrested, life would speedily end, but do they alone account for its origin?
18335Now, what keeps up the constant interchange-- this seesaw?
18335Of course the man of science is also a philosopher-- may I not even say he is also a prophet and poet?
18335Other still smaller organisms?
18335Protoplasm makes more protoplasm, as fire makes more fire, but what kindled the first spark of this living flame?
18335Shall we praise the fitness of the air for breathing, or of the water for drinking, or of the winds for filling our sails?
18335Should we be justified, then, in saying that there is no difference between them?
18335Soddy makes the suggestive inquiry:"If life begins in a single cell, does intelligence?
18335Sufficient heat kills the germs, but what disintegrates the germs and reduces them to dust?
18335The body is a machine and a laboratory combined, but that which coördinates them and makes them work together-- what is that?
18335The final question of the cabbage and the man still remains-- Where did you get them?
18335The force is as mechanical as the squeezing of the bulb of a syringe by the hand, but in the case of the intestines, what does the squeezing?
18335The germ makes an"effort"to restore it( why does it make an effort?
18335The living cell is a wonderful machine, but if we ask which is first, life or the cell, where are we?
18335The nose of the pig is fitted for rooting; shall we say, then, that the soil was made friable that pigs might root in it?
18335The psychic arises out of the organic and the organic arises out of the inorganic, and the inorganic arises out of-- what?
18335The vital force?
18335The webbed foot is fitted to the water; shall we say, then, that water is liquid in order that geese and ducks may swim in it?
18335There is more wit than science in Huxley''s question,"What better philosophical status has vitality than aquosity?"
18335There is no ethics in the physical order, and if humanity is entirely in the grip of that order, where do moral obligations come in?
18335These"chemical reaction complexes"in living cells, as the biochemists call them, are they the cause of life, or only the effect of life?
18335This may be only my anthropomorphic way of looking at things, but are not all our ways of looking at things anthropomorphic?
18335To ask which is first is to call up the old puzzle, Which is first, the egg, or the hen that laid it?
18335Unless we consider them as potential in all matter( and who shall say that they are not?)
18335V Is gravity or chemical affinity any more real to the mind than vitality?
18335VII Without metaphysics we can do nothing; without mental concepts, where are we?
18335Was Nature getting ready for man?
18335Was it a miraculous or a natural event?
18335Was it, or is it, a visitation-- something_ ab extra_ that implies super- mundane, or supernatural, powers?
18335We call it burdock, but what is burdock, and why does it not change into yellow dock, or into a cabbage?
18335We know, do we not?
18335We may or we may not have lost faith, but can we not see that our faith does not give us a key to the problem?
18335What can science see or find in the brain of man that answers to the soul?
18335What did Spencer mean by it?
18335What difference does it find between inert matter and a living organism?
18335What do vital changes involve?
18335What force is there in inert matter that can build a machine by the adjustment of parts to each other?
18335What has happened to them?
18335What has science done to clear up this mystery of vitality?
18335What has to supplement the mechanical and the chemical to make matter alive?
18335What is it in the body that struggles against poisons and seeks to neutralize their effects?
18335What is it that determines this new mode and end of their activities?
18335What is it that prevents the local whirl in this unstable stream from changing its form?
18335What is it that protects the body against a second attack of certain diseases, making it immune?
18335What is it that travels along lifting new water each moment up into waves?
18335What is it?
18335What must be added to them to set up the reaction we call life?
18335What prompted the elements to this new and extraordinary behavior?
18335What was it in the first instance that gathered their elements from the earth and built them up into such wonderful mechanisms?
18335When we get down to the lowest organism, is the gulf so impressive?
18335When we have learned all that science can tell us about the earth, is it not more rather than less wonderful?
18335Whether the evolution of the human mind from the animal was by insensible gradations, or by a few sudden leaps, who knows?
18335Who knows upon what physical conditions of the earth''s elements the brain of man was dependent?
18335Who or what decides who shall stay and who shall go?
18335Who or what issues the regicide order?
18335Who shall reconcile these contradictions?
18335Why consciousness should be born of cell structure in one form of life and not in another, who shall tell us?
18335Why did it not keep on the same level, and go through the cycle of change, as the inorganic does, without attaining to higher forms?
18335Why did not unicellular life always remain unicellular?
18335Why has it risen?
18335Why may we not think of life as a vital force traveling through matter and lifting up into organic life waves in the same way?
18335Why not in the form of a cabbage, or a donkey, or a clam?
18335Why should matter be gathered in at all in a mechanical struggle between inorganic elements?
18335Will your formulas and equations apply here?
18335Would our mathematics and our chemistry have been of any avail in our dealing with such a problem?
18335X When we speak of the gulf that separates the living from the non- living, are we not thinking of the higher forms of life only?
18335Yet can we conceive of the end of the physical order?
18335Yet it must have lived before it had them, else how would the necessity arise?
18335You assume vitality to start with-- how did you get it?
18335You can treat mechanical principles mathematically, but can you treat life mathematically?
18335a machine?
18335and so on_ ad infinitum_?
18335does the physical distinction between living and dead matter begin in the jostling molecular crowd?
18335does water undergo any chemical change in the body?
18335is it any more alive?
18335is it anything more than a solvent, than a current that carries the other elements to all parts of the body?
18335may we look upon them as of cosmic rank?
18335or between the wear and repair of a working- man''s body and the wear and repair of the machine he drives?
18335or could we foresee his affinities and combinations as we do that of a chemical body?
18335or in the development of the nervous system, or the circulatory system, or the digestive system, or of the eye, or of the ear?
18335or of cohesion?
18335or why one is an herbivorous feeder, and the other a carnivorous?
18335or, in the moral world, is love, charity, or consciousness itself?
18335that the great seals of the Book of Fate were being broken?
18335the end of gravity?
14834And Pilate said unto him, Art thou a king then? 14834 But where shall wisdom be found?
14834But,you will object,"does religion always broaden?"
14834If God is for us who is against us?
14834Shall not the judge of all the earth do right?
14834Slave,said the old Roman, Marius, to the barbarian who had been sent into the dungeon to despatch him,"slave, wouldst thou kill Cains Marius?"
14834You a king,says Pilate in astonishment;"where is your power to enforce your authority?"
14834?
14834?
14834Above all, why should the embryos of bird and perch form their tails by such a roundabout method?
14834And Pilate would not wait for the answer to his question, What is truth?
14834And does not man modify his environment?
14834And does not the same law of advance or extinction apply to man?
14834And how about the spread of knowledge?
14834And how did appetite develop?
14834And how does social life aid man morally?
14834And how has any and every advance to higher capabilities been attained in the animal kingdom?
14834And if so, how is this to be accomplished?
14834And if they have found safe resting- places, can not higher forms turn back and join them?
14834And if this has been the history of thousands of other species, why should it not be true of man also?
14834And in our study of man are we not prone to forget that he stands in certain very definite and close relations with surrounding nature?
14834And is not the creation of the seed of a violet or rose something infinitely grander than the decking of a flowerless plant with newly created roses?
14834And is there any more natural solution of the question than that given in the Bible?
14834And shall God do less?
14834And shall not the same be true of God though he be king of all worlds and ages?
14834And the questions arise, Is one mode and line of mental action just as much the goal of man''s development as another?
14834And what do we mean by environment?
14834And what is all advance of knowledge but a perception of ever subtler relations?
14834And what is all this but the survival in a very degenerate form of the old tribal conscience of primitive man?
14834And what is conformity to the personal element in our environment but likeness to him?
14834And what of God?
14834And what of faith?
14834And what of prayer?
14834And what of the church?
14834And what was the effect on their characters?
14834And where is the place of understanding?
14834And who are our antagonists?
14834And who was Peter but a rough, hardy fisherman?
14834And why does it help you to associate with a hero?
14834And why should they move?
14834And will environment ever manifest itself to man as the seat or instrument of a power possessing higher faculties other than these?
14834And will not the ear become more delicate, a better instrument for responding to the finest harmonies, and better gateway to our highest feelings?
14834And yet what a power there is in the appetite for truth and righteousness?
14834And yet what is our vaunted Christendom but a vast assemblage of believing but disobedient men?
14834Are there older and lower powers and modes of action, which, though once supreme, must now be rigidly kept down in their proper lower place?
14834Are these and similar actions reflex or instinctive?
14834Are these lower powers merely the foundation on which the higher motives and powers are to rise in their transcendent glory?
14834Are these wrong and injurious?
14834Are we not eminently"penny- wise and pound- foolish?"
14834Are we not too much like such dismantled hulks, or ships sailing with priceless cargoes but with mad captains?
14834As being capable of an endless development and without a rival, may we not,_ must_ we not, consider them as ends in themselves?
14834Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me?
14834But a greater problem confronts it; can it rise above self?
14834But are our systems of education an unmixed good?
14834But could not all these things be brought about without a single prayer?
14834But does not man make his own surroundings in social life?
14834But does not the grouping of colors in the flower appeal to some æsthetic standard in the mind of the insect?
14834But does the highest worm fear?
14834But have we found the faintest sign of any such?
14834But have we yet sufficient knowledge to justify such an attempt?
14834But how did these two germ- plasms come to be different?
14834But how far do we utilize the highest faculties of the mind, which have to do with character, the crowning glory of human development?
14834But how is an adult worm or vertebrate formed out of such a gastrula?
14834But how much has our scholar advanced the morality of the community?
14834But if the germ- plasm has this constitution and relation to the rest of the body, how is any variation possible?
14834But is man any less a man for having arisen from something lower, and being in a fair way to become something higher?
14834But is not man to be independent and free?
14834But is the amoeba really structureless?
14834But is there any limit to the possible development of the three mental activities mentioned above?
14834But is this the whole truth?
14834But some of you may ask, How can any theory of evolution guarantee that anything of the present shall survive in the future?
14834But supposing that there is in environment something more and other than material, can we possibly know anything about it?
14834But what has been the effect of his life on the moral, social capital of the community?
14834But what has been the history of Abraham''s descendants?
14834But what if it is all true?
14834But what if the army contains a multitude of men who will not obey orders or submit to discipline?
14834But what if you or I try to block the thoroughfare?
14834But what is all human science but the clearer vision, and farther search into, and tracing of these same relations?
14834But what kind of fish, what species of amphibian, what form of reptiles most closely resembles the old ancestor?
14834But what of our tendencies to specialization in education and business?
14834But what of the appetite, if you will pardon the expression, for truth and right?
14834But what shall we say of an environment which unmasks itself at last as a power making for intelligence, unselfishness, and righteousness?
14834But what would he say if you asked him to rebuild a locomotive, while it was running even twenty miles an hour?
14834But when and where was the dawn of fear?
14834But where did the notochord come from?
14834But where is the limit to man''s mental or moral powers?
14834But which vertebrate is heir to the future?
14834But who will compose this future race?
14834But why do we so strenuously object to the application to ourselves of the theory of evolution?
14834But why should the generalized comprehensive forms stand at the bottom rather than the top of the systematic arrangement of their classes?
14834But you will naturally ask,"Is there not, after all, a vast difference between the brain of man and that of the ape?"
14834But, granting the force of these criticisms, the question still remains, Is the special effect of use or disuse transmissible?
14834Can Science also give an answer, and is this in the main in accord with the answer of Scripture?
14834Can he do less?
14834Can he even partially rise superior to prudential considerations, as he has to some extent to the claims of appetite?
14834Can such a thing be the ancestor of a thinking, moral, religious person, like man?
14834Can the unselfish be developed out of the selfish?
14834Can the will emancipate itself from appetite and control it?
14834Can thus natural selection, acting upon fortuitous variations, be the sole guiding process concerned in progress?
14834Can we call it less than"Him, in whom we live and move and have our being?"
14834Can we call the ultimate power which makes for righteousness"it?"
14834Can you find anywhere a more profound or scientific philosophy of history than that of Paul in the first chapter of Romans?
14834Can you talk of self- denial to such a Christian?
14834Could it ever have been executed upon the stage of the world, and perhaps of the universe, without an executing will?
14834Did it live to eat, or to move, or to think?
14834Did they receive nothing?
14834Do form and grouping minister to pure sense gratification?
14834Do the children of the defaulter and drunkard and debauchee suffer because of the sins of their father, or do they not?
14834Do we?
14834Does it look as if the animal had begun to learn the first rudiments of the great science of rights, of his own rights and those of others?
14834Does it not look as if God loved a heroic soul as much as men worship one, and as if he intended that man should attain to it?
14834Does not the same reasoning hold true, only with added force?
14834Does the plot of this grander drama of evolution demand no intelligence in its ultimate cause and producer?
14834For how can neighboring cells direct others placed in a new position?
14834Has it felt fear?
14834Has no attempt been made to prove that all human actions are due to selfishness more or less refined?
14834Has the emancipation yet become complete in man?
14834Have you never watched a cat train her kittens?
14834Have you no hero whom you admire and strive to resemble?
14834Hence, when we ask,"Who will survive?"
14834Here the mind can not stop to ask, Will it pay?
14834How can it be answered in a universe of law?
14834How can it be otherwise?
14834How can the brain in its infancy develop until it gains supremacy over muscle, or muscle have done the same with digestion?
14834How can this use of special muscles stamp itself upon the germ- cells in such a way that the offspring will have these special muscles enlarged?
14834How did each of these ancestors look?
14834How do you become like a friend?
14834How do you explain the"instinctive"fear of man on the part of wild and fierce animals?
14834How does it come about that there are any more and less fit individuals?
14834How is it to be answered?
14834How many of our schools and colleges are places where men are stuffed with facts until they have no time nor inclination to think?
14834How was the variation started?
14834If it fails of this, can it be any longer the church of God?
14834If so, out of what and how did it develop?
14834If the blessings won by parental virtue go down to the thousandth generation, must not the evil consequences of sin go down to the third or fourth?
14834If there is no intelligence or love of truth in the cause, how can there be anything higher in the effect?
14834If we can not tell exactly how it looked, can we tell what it lived for and what it contributed to the evolution of man?
14834If you put to the two the time- honored question, Which is first, the owl or the egg?
14834If_ this_ is the highest visible result of ages on ages of development, what hope is there for the future?
14834In other words, is not degeneration easier than advance and just as safe?
14834Is Nature and environment only a huge divine loom to weave man and something higher yet?
14834Is he teaching you to conform to environment, or leading you to be ground in pieces by its forces all arrayed against you?
14834Is human history to prove a story told by an idiot, or does it"signify"something?
14834Is it anything else or other than a means of aiding man to conform to environment?
14834Is it not a spread of information?
14834Is it possible to develop the unselfish out of the purely selfish?
14834Is it too much to say that he put himself into them?
14834Is it, after all, possible that our clear- eyed scientific man has altogether misunderstood the game?
14834Is man to cultivate the appetite for food and sense gratification just as much as the hunger for righteousness?
14834Is man''s life at present as long as it should or can be?
14834Is not the one development just as improbable or inconceivable as the other?
14834Is not the same true of God?
14834Is not the"calm, strong angel"more probably our partner?
14834Is not this perhaps the clew to our Lord''s use of natural imagery?
14834Is not this the answering of a personality in the animal to the personality in man; a recognition of something deeper than bone and muscle?
14834Is not this the often unrecognized kern of our eagerness for some mark or stamp that shall prove to all that we are no apes, but men?
14834Is protoplasm itself the result of a long development?
14834Is the great march of humanity, which Carlyle so vividly depicts,"from the inane to the inane, or from God to God?"
14834Is the world better or worse for his life?
14834Is there in the development of the mental powers or functions just as really a sequence of dominance as in that of the bodily functions?
14834Is there then no will in the animal until it has become intelligent?
14834Is, after all, the attachment of a dog to his master something far deeper than an appetite for bones or pats, or a fear of kicks?
14834It elevates our views of the living beings, must it not give a higher conception of Him who formed them?
14834It gives us a far higher opinion of the ground- pine; does it disgrace the rose?
14834It is terrible; but the question is, Does the Bible speak the truth about nature?
14834Jesus saith unto him,"Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip?
14834Knowledge of environment is good, but of what real and permanent use is such knowledge without conformity?
14834Let us suppose for a moment that every rose and violet required a special act of immediate creation, would the springtime be as wonderful as now?
14834Must man be a religious being also?
14834Must there not be some combining power to produce the higher individuals which are prerequisites to the working of natural selection?
14834Now has Science any answer to this vital question?
14834Now our only question is, How does social life enable and aid man to conform to environment?
14834Now what is the scriptural idea of man?
14834Now which two of all shall survive?
14834Or is appetite in the mind like digestion in the body, a function, necessary indeed and once dominant, but no longer fitted for supreme control?
14834Or is it to remain the slave of the body?
14834Or must there be in or behind it something spiritual?
14834Shall we best call environment, in its highest manifestation,"it"or"him?"
14834That is very true, but is it the whole truth?
14834The great question is, What did they contribute to human progress?
14834The man who is governed by prudential considerations, and is always asking, Will it pay?
14834The question remains, What makes the organs vary simultaneously so as to always correspond to each other?
14834The question,"What is it?"
14834The swimming life gave rise to higher and stronger forms; but did its maintenance give immediate advantage in the struggle for existence?
14834The thinking man must ask, How did it come about, and why is it that all these forces work together for such high moral and intelligent ends?
14834Then must we not expect that environment will always make for these?
14834Then said Christian, May we go in thither?
14834They may turn out learned men; do they produce thinkers?
14834To answer the question,"Which stratum or class in the community or world at large is heir to the future?"
14834Vices, beginning in the soul, seem to become at last bodily diseases; why may not virtues follow the same law?
14834Was Jackson any the less for being the right arm to deal, as only he could, the crushing blows planned by the great strategist?
14834Was there ever a nation of grander promise than Greece or Rome?
14834We are just awakening to the question,"Why this progressive system of forms, and what does it all mean?"
14834We may not have so many molar teeth for chewing food, but may not our mouths become ever finer instruments for speech and song?
14834Were they giants or are we dwarfed?
14834What has social life done for man intellectually?
14834What hindered and stopped them?
14834What if the animal kingdom is continually blossoming in ever higher forms?
14834What if, as some think, our millionth cousin, the tiger or cat, is anatomically a better mammal than I?
14834What is even the knowledge of right but the perception of the subtlest and deepest and widest relations of man to his environment?
14834What is it?
14834What is the crowning faculty of the human mind and how is its fuller development to be attained?
14834What is the record of successive civilizations but its verification?
14834What is the result if an animal tries to return to a lower plane of life or refuses to take the next upward step?
14834What made them such invincible heroes?
14834What made them thus change?
14834What made them turn about?
14834What of the mind of the amoeba?
14834What of the song of the thrush?
14834What of the tail of the peacock?
14834What would happen to us if we tried to stop bare- handed the current of a huge dynamo, or to hold back the torrent of Niagara?
14834What, as yet only partially developed, faculty remains to supersede them?
14834What, then, is the biblical idea of Nature?
14834Where are the high ideals of truth and goodness in the savage?
14834Which of the two lives is normal?
14834Who knows that the game was, or could be, at first taught without talking across the board?
14834Who knows the possibilities of your little church in the hilltown of Smyrna?
14834Why did he run away?
14834Why did the vertebrate take a new and strange, and, at first sight, disadvantageous mode of breathing?
14834Why does the animal hunger for just the food suited to its digestion and needs?
14834Why does the artist see so much more in every fence- corner and on every hill- side than we, set face to face with the grandest landscapes?
14834Why is a mixture of two protoplasms better than one?
14834Why sacrifice a good thing and make yourself ridiculous scrambling after what in the end may prove unattainable?"
14834Why should the embryo of the bird have the tail of a lizard?
14834Why should the system of classification coincide with the order of geologic occurrence, and this with the series of embryonic stages?
14834Will we invest freely or will we wait to have that which we call our own wrested from us?
14834Would it not be contrary to the whole course of past history, if you can properly call such a record a history, if he could advance at all?
14834Would the blacksmith''s son have a stronger right arm?
14834Would the rose or violet be any more beautiful, or are they any less flowers because developed out of that which might have remained a common branch?

2740In such cases what outline do you give to the upper surface of the lava in the dike connecting them?
2740In the summer, could I persuade you to pay us a visit of a day or two, and I would try and get Bates and some others to come down?
2740Is Sphaenium corneum a synonym of Cyclas?
2740Is expense of living high at Darjeeling?
2740Is he as good a workman as he appears?
2740Is it a common yellow cowslip?
2740Is it not a very remarkable fact?
2740Is it not curious that there should be such diversified sensitiveness in allied plants?
2740Is it not monstrous for a professed conchologist?
2740Is it your brother Harrison W., whom I know?
2740Is not this making Geology nice and simple for beginners?
2740Is not this most extraordinary, and a puzzler?
2740Is the male Macacus silenus furnished with longer hair than the female about the neck and face?
2740Is the scar on your son''s leg on the same side and on exactly the same spot where you were wounded?
2740Is there any place in London where parcels are received for you, or shall I send it by post?
2740Is this not so?
2740Is this not very curious, and opposed to the morphological idea that a flower is a condensed continuous spire of leaves?
2740It was in Park Street; but what brought us together?

2740Lastly, have you any seaside plants with bloom?

2740May I say it is healthy?
2740May not a volcano be likened to a protruding and cracked portion on a vast natural high- pressure boiler, formed by the surrounding area of country?
2740May there be some sexual relation between A. Loddigesii and luteola; they seem very close?
2740Muller wrote:"Are the three which grow near each other seedlings from the same mother- plant or perhaps from seeds of the same capsule?
2740Now is not this structure a good argument that I interpret the homologies of the sides of clinandrum rightly?
2740Now the question is, what think you of the offer?
2740Now, can you tell me whether each spine has likewise an oblique unstriped or striped muscle, as figured by Lister?
2740Now, could you open the stomachs of these ants and examine the contents, so as to prove or disprove this remarkable hypothesis?
2740Now, if in your power, would you observe the position of the pistil in different plants, in lately opened flowers of the same age?
2740Now, is this not odd?
2740Now, some persons can move the skin of their hairy heads; and is this not effected by the panniculus?
2740On what kind of coast or land could the plants have lived?
2740One of this name has made a splendid medical discovery of nicotine counteracting strychnine and tetanus?
2740Or in extreme prostration from any illness?
2740P.S.--Do you happen to know, when there are only four stamens, whether it is the petal or sepal- facers which are preserved?
2740P.S.--I may give as instance of[ this] class of facts, that Barrow asserts that a male Emberiza(?)
2740Please to tell me where I can find any account of the auditory organs in the orthoptera?
2740Prof. Haughtons at Dublin?
2740Queries: Does any female bird regularly sing?
2740Secondly, may I quote you that you have often(?)
2740Secondly: Have you any white and yellow varieties of Verbascum which you could give me, or propagate for me, or LEND me for a year?
2740Shall I call on Friday morning at 9.30 and sit half an hour with you?
2740Shall you do any levelling?
2740Should you care to see an elaborate German pamphlet by Hermann Muller on the gradation and distinction of the forms of Epipactis and of Platanthera?
2740The map of Etna, which I have been just looking at, looks like a sudden falling in, does it not?
2740These notions are at least possible, and would they not vitiate your argument?
2740Thirdly: Can you give me seeds of any Rubiaceae of the sub- order Cinchoneae, as Spermacoce, Diodia, Mitchella, Oldenlandia?
2740Thursday[ 1874?].
2740To return again to subject of crossing: I have been inclined to speculate so far, as to think( my!?)
2740Was the latter point put in in a hurry to round the sentence, or do you really know of cases?
2740Was there ever such an enigma?
2740What a curious case your Gongora must be: could you spare me one of the largest capsules?
2740What can the explanation be?
2740What do you think about it?
2740What do you think of having Scott there for a year or two to work and experiment?
2740What do you think of this notion?
2740What is the character or colour of the first plumage of bright yellow or mealy canaries which breed true to these tints?
2740What is the difference in flowers of the rue?
2740What is the meaning of the mucus so copiously emitted from the moistened seeds of Iberis, and of at least some species of Linum?
2740What kind of birds were these twenty?
2740What kinds of seeds have the plants which are common to the distant mountain- summits in Africa?
2740What other mode of transit is conceivable?
2740What species is it?
2740What think you?
2740What will Sir William say?
2740When the Callithrix sciureus screams violently, does it wrinkle up the skin round the eyes like a baby always does?
2740When the elephants in the garden are turned out and are excited so as to move quickly, do they carry their tails aloft?
2740When the heart beats hard and quick, and the head becomes somewhat congested with blood in any illness, does the pupil contract?
2740When thus screaming do the eyes become suffused with moisture?
2740When will you come here again?
2740Who will say what this rate and what this duration is?
2740Why not sprinkle fresh plaster of Paris and make impenetrable crust?
2740Will he find the opportunity for experimental observations, which are a passion with him?
2740Will it not be possible to give enlarged drawings of some leading forms of trees?
2740Will not that be a hard nut for you when you come to treat in detail on geographical distribution?
2740Will you advise me for him?
2740Will you ask Sutton to observe carefully?
2740Will you have the kindness to look occasionally at your bee- Ophrys near Torquay, and see whether pollinia are ever removed?
2740Will you have the kindness to tell me whether the birds prefer one colour to another?
2740Will you look to this?
2740Will you not be puzzled when you come to the orchids?
2740Will you suggest to Oliver to review this paper?
2740Would a comparison of the ashes of terrestrial peat and coal give any clue?
2740Would it be worth while to send a corrected copy of the"Courant"to the"Gardeners''Chronicle?"
2740Would it not be better to dye the tail alone and crown of head, so as not to make too great difference?
2740Would it not be truer to say that Nature cares only for the superior individuals and then makes her new and better races?
2740Would it not be worth while to borrow one of these from Sir H. James as a curiosity to hang up?
2740Would not the Atlantic and Antarctic volcanoes be the best examples for you, as there then can be no coral mud to depress the bottom?
2740Would not tubes protrude if placed on parts of column or base of petals, etc., near to the stigma?
2740Would the Royal Agricultural Society be a fitting place?
2740Would there be any chance of your coming to luncheon then?
2740Would you have the kindness to send me word which end of the ovarium is meant by apex( that nearest the flower?

26009And are we really going to rest after a trifle like that? 26009 And did n''t you aim at it?"
26009And pray why not?
26009And so you risk his breaking his bones?
26009And the birds?
26009And we shall have to go without dessert?
26009And what should you have done if they had sprung at us?
26009And what takes place then?
26009And what would have happened if the water- spout had reached the ship?
26009And what''s the name of this plant?
26009And whence did the meteor come which passed so close to us?
26009And where is l''Encuerado?
26009And where is l''Encuerado?
26009And who is Juan?
26009And you did n''t repeat any words?
26009Are armadillos very scarce?
26009Are not morning and night dews the same thing?
26009Are not you ashamed to attack a child?
26009Are otters really relations of Gringalet?
26009Are peccaries carnivorous?
26009Are the pods eatable?
26009Are there such things as opossum- fishes?
26009Are there such things as wild dogs?
26009Are these stones luminous?
26009Are they venomous?
26009Are we going to cross that great plain? 26009 Are we going to eat these animals?"
26009Are we in a savage country?
26009Are we liable to catch these fevers?
26009Are we lost?
26009Are we now in a virgin forest?
26009Are we to consider ourselves your guests?
26009Are you all alone?
26009Are you also a sportsman? 26009 Are you going to make as long a journey as you did last month?"
26009Are you going to tie me?
26009Are you speaking the truth?
26009Are you the chief of the village?
26009At a fox, which I missed; were you chasing it?
26009At all events, it is n''t another relation of the rat-- is it?
26009But I see thousands of holes; does each termite have a separate chamber?
26009But eagles are much stronger than falcons?
26009But from whence does all this moisture come?
26009But how do they manage,asked Lucien,"to obtain from a plant those dark- blue stones that I have seen sold in the market?"
26009But how many ants does it take to satisfy it?
26009But if no one can discover our bivouac,remarked Lucien, casting a glance behind him,"how shall we manage to find it again?"
26009But if they always lived in the shade?
26009But was it really you that shot?
26009But what are they composed of?
26009But what do they say?
26009But where are they?
26009But where do these hungry wretches come from?
26009But where''s the sugar?
26009But why did n''t you offer him the instrument directly?
26009But you are armed?
26009But you have just told us that he stripped off all his clothes?
26009But, papa, have n''t I heard you tell the Mexicans that in France they make sugar with beet- root?
26009Ca n''t you understand that the evil spirit which you have in your body will be certain to make you commit some folly?
26009Can any one understand the use of these horrible trees?
26009Can he have discovered water?
26009Can he have met with a stream?
26009Can these animals fly for any length of time?
26009Can they run as fast as squirrels?
26009Can we be still in Mexico?
26009Can we get water from this shrub by merely pressing it?
26009Can you live without eating and drinking?
26009Can you take us in for one night?
26009Could n''t you have chosen a tree that was not so tall?
26009Did n''t I tell you its tongue is poisonous? 26009 Did n''t those wolves frighten you?"
26009Did n''t you know that lizards were harmless?
26009Did n''t you know that some Indians are ant- eaters? 26009 Did you ever see one, papa?"
26009Did you see that great insect that flew buzzing past us?
26009Do n''t they say the same of the bats and swallows? 26009 Do n''t you find that the mosquitoes in the_ Terre- Chaude_ bite much sharper than those in the_ Terre- Tempérée_?"
26009Do n''t you know that you must not trust to appearances? 26009 Do n''t you see that it is mounted upon long legs like stilts?"
26009Do n''t you think it is nice, Tatita?
26009Do n''t you wish Chanito to learn to climb? 26009 Do n''t young alligators know how to swim?"
26009Do squirrels feed on flesh?
26009Do streams often go under the ground like this?
26009Do they always travel in flocks like this?
26009Do you believe that they can understand you?
26009Do you know the family of the animal we are going to have for breakfast?
26009Do you know, then, why toucans have such exaggerated beaks?
26009Do you mean crossing the_ Terre- Froide_?
26009Do you notice, papa, those white specks one of the earwigs is covering with its body?
26009Do you really think that I have done it enough?
26009Do you see the long pods which hang on that tree?
26009Do you speak Spanish, venerable father?
26009Do you think any one will hurt us?
26009Do you think that they will first devour l''Encuerado, and then attack us?
26009Do you think we shall often have to go a whole day without eating?
26009Do you think you are still in the town?
26009Do you understand that phenomenon?
26009Do you wish to persuade me that stones rain down from the sky?
26009Do your legs feel like mine?
26009Do_ jaquaretes_ ever attack men?
26009Does he intend to eat them?
26009Does it eat any thing but ants?
26009Does it produce any fruit good to eat?
26009Does the tick only attack dogs?
26009For what reason do you wish for daylight?
26009Have n''t these Indians any meat? 26009 Have we finished our day''s journey, then?"
26009Have you been bitten by a serpent?
26009Have you discovered any men?
26009Have you killed any of them?
26009Have you killed one?
26009Have you lost your senses?
26009Have you searched well under the stones? 26009 Have you suddenly gone mad?"
26009He was not able to find his way back to the spot?
26009Hours? 26009 How are they all to be recognized?"
26009How came you not to think,I said,"that by struggling in this way you would only the more entangle yourself?"
26009How can mountains like these be measured?
26009How can they bear the weight of such an enormous beak?
26009How could such a great mass as this fall down?
26009How did it manage to eat with its mouth all awry?
26009How did you kill this animal?
26009How did you lose your left arm, pobricito?
26009How did you suppose you would descend?
26009How do the termites manage to build their dwellings?
26009How do they manage to perch on a tree with feet of that kind?
26009How do you explain Lucien''s having followed the trail so readily?
26009How far off is it?
26009How is it that the serpent does not poison itself?
26009How is your arm now, l''Encuerado?
26009How long will they take to carry away all the leaves off that great tree?
26009How many hours shall we be in doing it?
26009How much do they give you for watching this filtering- bag from morning till night?
26009How shall we fasten it?
26009How shall you feed them?
26009How was it that that great bird allowed itself to be conquered by such a small adversary?
26009How will it be then?
26009How will you behave when you cross the savannahs?
26009I hope so; do n''t you like the idea of it?
26009I never thought of all that,said Lucien, shaking his head, and looking convinced;"but what shall we have to eat this evening?"
26009I say, papa, did the woodpecker really want to pierce this big tree?
26009I say,cried my friend,"what does this joke mean?"
26009I say,said Lucien, archly, just as the Indian was hoisting his basket on to his back;"how would it have been if I had been perched on it?"
26009I thought the lion was a beast by itself; but, at all events, it is the king of mammals?
26009If I did, would the animal spring upon us?
26009If I had eaten or drunk,he said, simply,"I should have wanted to go to sleep, and then what would have become of you?
26009If it was n''t for that,I urged on him,"do you think I would permit Lucien to sleep in so dangerous a neighborhood?"
26009If we happened to be caught in one of these whirlwinds would it carry us away?
26009Is Gringalet a digitigrade?
26009Is it a rattle- snake?
26009Is it good to eat?
26009Is it the smallest of the three?
26009Is l''Encuerado asleep?
26009Is n''t M. Sumichrast wrong in that, father?
26009Is that true, father?
26009Is that true?
26009Is their flesh good to eat?
26009Is this intended as an emblem of strength and courage?
26009Is this tantalus going to fish?
26009May I catch it?
26009Nothing broken?
26009Now do_ you_ understand this?
26009Now what do you imagine the sun and moon really are?
26009Of course, because of your white skin; what else should it be? 26009 Shall I walk first?"
26009Shall we cross that great plain?
26009Shall we see any people there?
26009Shall we see any snow fall, now that we are in the_ Terre- Froide_?
26009Shall we take our little captive with us?
26009Should I die if I were stung?
26009So these miserable brutes think they are going to frighten us?
26009Suppose the charcoal went on burning?
26009Suppose the fire went out?
26009Surely your husband will not refuse the shelter of his roof to weary travellers?
26009Take care it does not bite you,said I to the boy;"how did you manage to catch it?"
26009That''s not at all generous,said I to him;"if Sumichrast did not carry the basket sometimes, what would become of us?"
26009The Egyptian bird which devours serpents?
26009The beast is justly mine, is n''t it, Tatita, and I am still the tiger- hunter?
26009The flock just now surprised must have cried out:''What is this animal?'' 26009 The mouth sewn up?"
26009The pigment?
26009Then Europeans have no pigment?
26009Then all Vulcanian rocks can be melted?
26009Then do stones proceed from water?
26009Then it can not eat any thing hard?
26009Then shall we find nothing to shoot here?
26009Then the centre of the earth has been once in a liquid state?
26009Then the forests of the_ Terre- Tempérée_ are more beautiful than those of the_ Terre- Chaude_?
26009Then the wind must be much stronger in forests than in towns?
26009Then they do n''t bite?
26009Then water- bugs are really able to fly, swim, and walk?
26009Then we are not on any road?
26009Then you do n''t love me?
26009Then you''ve had some experience of them?
26009There is no wind,observed Lucien;"how is it that the dust rises so high?"
26009They are excellent; what family do they belong to?
26009They are not Christians, then?
26009They think it so very ridiculous?
26009They will be sure to get within reach of Gringalet; are you sure that he will leave them alone?
26009Till we meet again? 26009 To eat us?"
26009To what order of insects do they belong?
26009Was it a lion?
26009Was it your own fault?
26009Well done; but how did you recognize it to be so?
26009Well, Lucien,asked Sumichrast,"what do you think now of rat''s flesh?"
26009Well, Master''Sunbeam,''in what class will you place this mammal?
26009Well, what happened to him?
26009Well, will one of you sell us some maize- cakes, and give us some water?
26009Were n''t you afraid of him?
26009Were you much frightened?
26009What are its good properties?
26009What are meteors?
26009What are these switches for?
26009What are you asking the birds to do?
26009What are you going to do with these poor orphans?
26009What are you thinking of?
26009What became of the mother?
26009What birds are wild- ducks related to?
26009What can you be thinking of? 26009 What could be made of these stalks, which are so delicate that they break if I merely touch them?"
26009What could you give me?
26009What did the cross matter to him?
26009What did you expect to meet with?
26009What did you fire at?
26009What do they find to eat under the bark, in which they must lead a very gloomy life?
26009What do you think of these little ogres?
26009What do you think, shall we take Gringalet for our guide?
26009What do you want?
26009What does the name armadillo mean?
26009What good are horses, then?
26009What good is its great mouth?
26009What has caused this nasty smell on my fingers?
26009What is all this about a journey, for which my consent is the only requisite?
26009What is that moving down below there?
26009What is that?
26009What is the good of killing a poor creature which would be of no use to us?
26009What is the matter? 26009 What is the name of this wonderful plant?"
26009What is the nearest town to this?
26009What is the use of having forty- four feet,he cried,"if the centipede can not get on faster than a_ carabus_, which only has six?"
26009What is the use of their wings?
26009What is this molten matter composed of which is burning under our feet?
26009What on earth has possessed you to chase useless game at this hour of the night?
26009What on earth have you put in the saucepan?
26009What part did you take in it?
26009What precautions?
26009What was it for?
26009What would be the good, my boy? 26009 What would mamma say, if she was here?
26009What''s the matter?
26009What?
26009When you are speaking of a bird, why do you often say it belongs to Brazil, Guiana, or Peru, when you actually find it in Mexico?
26009Where are all the wild cattle and horses?
26009Where are their feet, then?
26009Where did you turn out this fellow, Gringalet?
26009Where does the thread come from?
26009Where is Popocatepetl?
26009Where is the filter?
26009Where''s my parrot?
26009Whom are you calling to?
26009Why are they trying to bury that mouse?
26009Why are we not to continue to keep straight on?
26009Why are you collecting this fat? 26009 Why ca n''t they keep their leaves to themselves?
26009Why did M. Sumichrast call l''Encuerado?
26009Why did n''t Torribio say at once that he was willing to exchange his powder for the telescope?
26009Why did n''t you let me shoot at the_ tlacuache_?
26009Why did you hang the shoes round your neck instead of putting them away in a corner?
26009Why did you start without letting us know?
26009Why do n''t the Mexicans live in such a varied and beautiful country as the_ Terre- Chaude_?
26009Why do n''t they fly away, instead of running or tumbling over on the ground?
26009Why do n''t they make an order for them by themselves?
26009Why do n''t they serve the meat first?
26009Why do n''t you ask for a cup and saucer as well?
26009Why do they laugh so when they look at me?
26009Why do they turn round and round like that?
26009Why do you bend those poor plants like that? 26009 Why does n''t it grow in every forest?"
26009Why not take him, dear? 26009 Why not?"
26009Why should n''t we?
26009Why,said Lucien, who came up to us just as the discussion began,"are not all men the same color?
26009Why? 26009 Why?"
26009Will a butterfly come from this caterpillar?
26009Will he go alone?
26009Will it come near us?
26009Will spiders eat one another?
26009Will they attack live creatures?
26009Will you never be prudent?
26009Will you really give the glass to me?
26009Will you skin it?
26009Wo n''t he open the gate for us? 26009 Yes,"I replied;"do n''t you feel tired?"
26009Yet, surely the eagle is the king of birds; is it not able to look straight at the sun?
26009You are not alone, I see; from whom do you come?
26009You ca n''t mean that we have n''t walked far? 26009 You do n''t intend to take it away with you, I hope?"
26009You do n''t mean to say,said Sumichrast,"that l''Encuerado ever wore blue slippers?"
26009You do? 26009 You have seen them before, then?"
26009You mean the forest which we can see from here?
26009You quite forget the_ cochlearia_, or scurvy- grass, so useful to sailors as a remedy for scurvy?
26009You see this animal, Chanito?
26009You would like to find yourself at Orizava?
26009You would rather, then, that I staid at Orizava?
26009And taking the lad between my knees, I said,"You see that bright band of light which looks almost as if the horizon was on fire?
26009Are they dead, then, for they do not move?"
26009Are your boots well greased?
26009But shall we live on beans the whole of our journey?"
26009But what about Gringalet?
26009But, Chanito, do you know what these mosquitoes are?"
26009Did n''t you know that?"
26009Did n''t you shoot a squirrel yesterday?
26009Did n''t you sleep well?"
26009Do cicindelas live in woods?"
26009Do n''t you recollect that when we were walking over the mountain of Borrego, he often spied out insects that you had missed seeing?"
26009Do they bite with those powerful jaws?"
26009Do you see that beautiful large bird with a tuft on its forehead?
26009Do you see that tree that stands in front of us?
26009Don Luciano, where are you off to with all that train?"
26009Had he then really understood us?
26009Had it a mane?"
26009Have we walked very far?"
26009Have you forgotten our dinner yesterday?"
26009How do you like the_ timbirichis_?"
26009How should we make our way over it?
26009How will they dine, then?"
26009I answered,"you ought to have taken something to restore your strength; for if it had failed, what would have become of us?"
26009I cried,"do n''t you hear the cock crowing, telling us we ought to be on our road?
26009I cried,"what have you done with your provisions?"
26009I cried;"how did you manage to get your trowsers in that state?"
26009I cried;"will you sell us some?"
26009I jumped up-- was it the fall of a tree?
26009Is it Chéma?"
26009Is it a prophet of some new dish in preparation?"
26009Is it not a shame that so many of us sleep through the hour when this lovely prospect can only be enjoyed?"
26009Just as we were going to start, an unforeseen difficulty arose-- how to cross the ravine and ford the river?
26009M. Sumichrast, then you can never have examined their wings?
26009Master''Sunbeam,''"cried Sumichrast, while helping me to construct our hut,"do n''t you recollect you are the one to provide the fire?"
26009Seeing that we left behind us all our baggage, Lucien exclaimed,"Suppose any one came and stole our provisions?"
26009Shall I be wrong?"
26009Shall we be obliged to go home again?
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Sumichrast?"
26009Surely you were not ignorant of all these transformations?"
26009Swift did not first form his idea of''Gulliver''s Travels''from looking at the world from the top of a high mountain?"
26009Was it Chanito you wanted to devour?"
26009What do your legs say?"
26009What was to be done?
26009What would a Parisian say if he saw this_ viznaga_?"
26009Why did you let it escape?"
26009Wo n''t they die?"
26009Would you like me to do it again?"
26009You will think of me sometimes, will you not?"
26009[ Illustration]"But why does it call the animals?"
26009[ Illustration]"What is it?"
26009asked Lucien;"what is that?"
26009but is the young gentleman going with you?"
26009but why?"
26009cried Lucien,"are we in a cemetery?"
26009cried Lucien,"are you going to break your word to me?"
26009cried Lucien;"it looks as if it carried a garden on its back; what use are all these bushes?"
26009cried Lucien;"why did n''t you take it alive?"
26009cried Sumichrast,"are those beasts going to join in the concert made by the grasshoppers and mosquitoes?"
26009cried Sumichrast,"lengthen your strides a little, if you please; do n''t you hear the murmur of a stream?"
26009cried my friend;"is your beast come to life again?"
26009did you remark its sudden movement?
26009do n''t you know that the squirrel and the rat are very near relations, and that they both belong to the Rodent family?"
26009do_ you_ take his part?"
26009does the dragon- fly begin its life by living in water like a fish?"
26009exclaimed Sumichrast, fatigued and cramped with his exertions;"but how am I to reach you, now that I have two guns and two bags to carry?"
26009exclaimed Sumichrast,"does this wretch intend to give us a present to her children?"
26009my fault?"
26009my young scholar; you''ve heard that fable?"
26009or was it a signal from one of our companions?
26009repeated Lucien;"the knots are not seed?"
26009said I to him;"do n''t you remember the noise made by the fall of a tree?"
26009said Sumichrast;"does this fellow want to prove that a cougar will attack a man?"
26009what are these horrid creatures?"
26009what do you think of hurricanes?"
26009what is that dreadful noise?"
26009what is the matter?"
26009what''s that?''
26009why did you disturb me?
54612Where are the facts proving the inheritance of acquired characters?
54612[ 135] But if the production of one or other form from the same germ does not result from speciality of feeding, what does it result from? 54612 Again, what is to be thought of the fact that the immense majority of these supposed special creations took place before mankind existed? 54612 Am I called upon to abandon my own supported belief and accept Mr. Wallace''s unsupported belief? 54612 Among the several types of individuals forming the existing ant community, to which, then, did the ancestral ants bear the greatest resemblance? 54612 And does our ignorance of the manner in which they arose warrant us in asserting that they arose by special creation? 54612 And first of all, what are we to understand by co- operative parts? 54612 And how are the conquering determinants to find they ways out of the_ mêlée_ to the places where they are to fulfil their organizing functions? 54612 And if not, how far do differences between the surpluses determine differences between the limits of growth? 54612 And if otherwise, which are the directly adaptive and which are not? 54612 And now what about the other term of the antithesis-- the alleged inherent mortality of the somatic cells? 54612 And now, in presence of these facts, what are we to say? 54612 And then, how long will it take for the rest to be brought into adjustment? 54612 And what are the leading structural traits of these_ Amphibia_? 54612 And why, if typical uniformity was to be maintained, does the number of sacral vertebræ vary within the same order of birds? 54612 Answers to the questions-- Why do these adaptive modifications in an individual animal soon reach a limit? 54612 Are all the modifications that serve to re- fit organisms to their environments, directly adaptive modifications? 54612 Are not these traits also results of arrested nutrition? 54612 At what stage does it become an individual? 54612 Bearing in mind this requirement, is any one now prepared to say that survival of the fittest can cause this decline of the self- feeding faculty? 54612 But are we justified in speaking of cells at all in this case? 54612 But having abandoned this crude belief, what belief is he prepared to substitute? 54612 But how can we conceive an inactive activity? 54612 But how come these animals while young and small to have surplus assimilative powers? 54612 But how does the extreme discriminativeness of the tongue- tip aid these functions? 54612 But how happens the mean state of the organ to be changed? 54612 But if this distribution of tactual perceptiveness can not be explained by survival of the fittest, how can it be explained? 54612 But let us make a large admission, and suppose these muscles to vary together; what further muscular change is next required? 54612 But now what are the conditions under which alone, direct equilibration can occur? 54612 But now what are we to say when, instead of being cut off transversely, the tail is divided longitudinally and each half becomes a complete tail? 54612 But now what must follow from the destruction of the least- resisting individuals and survival of the most- resisting individuals? 54612 But what about speech? 54612 But what are we to say when three, four, and even five sets ofids"or bundles of"determinants"are present?
54612But what has meanwhile happened to the outer digits?
54612But what if the incident energy, falling on the system from without, proved insufficient to overthrow it?
54612But what is the evidence for this?
54612But what shall we say on finding innumerable cases in which the suffering inflicted brings no compensating benefit?
54612But why should the growth of every organism be finally arrested?
54612But why will the disused organs vary in the direction of decrease more than in the direction of increase?
54612By what series of variations shall we say that it is reduced from full power to entire incapacity?
54612Can this greater power be shown to have any advantage?
54612Can this, or anything like this, be shown?
54612Can we assume it to be solved by unconscious units?
54612Can we with any propriety assume that these many enlargements duly proportioned will be simultaneously effected by spontaneous variations?
54612Could we more truly say of anything,''it is unrepresentable in thought?''"
54612Did the Unknowable thus demonstrate his power to himself?
54612Do these continue their fissiparous multiplications without end?
54612Do they differ in extension?
54612Do they differ otherwise than in amount?
54612Do they vary together?
54612Does Structure originate Function, or does Function originate Structure?
54612Does any one think he can show this?
54612For if all such as are deficient of power in a certain direction are destroyed, what must be the effect on posterity?
54612For if these single- celled organisms which multiply so rapidly be supposed to lose some of their separative tendency, what must be the result?
54612For what has the trusted process of panmixia been doing ever since the human being began to evolve from the ape?
54612For whence did he get the doctrine of special creations?
54612HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED?
54612HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED?
54612Have all animals equal surpluses of assimilative powers?
54612Have we any ground for concluding that species were specially created, except the ground that we have no immediate knowledge of their origin?
54612Have we any reason to think that the parts spontaneously increase or decrease together?
54612Have we not here a solution of these facts?
54612How about the back of the trunk and its face?
54612How are the Cretaceous Ichthyosauria, Plesiosauria, or Pterosauria less embryonic or more differentiated species than those of the Lias?"
54612How are these transformations brought about?
54612How are we to account for this fact?
54612How are we to conceive that genesis of a vital principle which must go along with the genesis of an organism?
54612How are we to distinguish between them?
54612How came this contrast to arise in the course of evolution, if there was the equality of variation supposed?
54612How can its all- sufficiency be alleged when its action can neither be demonstrated nor easily imagined?
54612How changed?
54612How comes there a wish to perform an action not before performed?
54612How distinguished?
54612How does it happen that among those moths of which the female has but rudimentary wings, she continues to endow the males of her species with wings?
54612How does it happen that some organisms multiply by homogenesis and others by heterogenesis?
54612How formed?
54612How happened it then to awaken at the time when the supply of water enabled the tissues to resume their functions?
54612How happens it that animals were so designed as to render this bloodshed necessary?
54612How is it that the children of a widow by a second husband do not bear traceable resemblances to the first husband?
54612How is such proclivity obtainable?
54612How is this to be explained?
54612How long, then, will it be before there takes place that particular alteration which will make the bone fitter for its new action?
54612How made?
54612How shall we explain the reparative and reproductive powers thus exemplified?
54612How shall we range these facts with the ordinary facts of inheritance?
54612How so?
54612How then comes the organ to augment in size and power?
54612How would it be possible for creatures subject to so violent a change of habitat to survive?
54612How, by any process of direct equilibration, could it come to have the required thickness?
54612How, in the course of evolution, have they been established?
54612How, then, did M. Nouel succeed in obtaining a desirable combination of a fine English breed with the relatively poor French breeds?
54612How, then, is this balance to be maintained?
54612How, then, is this remarkable trait of the tongue- tip to be accounted for?
54612How, then, will a diminution of this separative tendency first show itself?
54612If a new organism is not thus produced, then in what way is one produced?
54612If he has to surrender the hypothesis of_ panmixia_, what results?
54612If so, how have there arisen the unlikenesses between the hind legs of the kangaroo and those of the elephant?
54612If so, we are met by the question-- how is the re- arrangement effected?
54612If so, why did it come back at the right moment?
54612If these facts do not disprove absolutely Professor Weismann''s hypothesis, we may wonderingly ask what facts would disprove it?
54612If they are not inheritable, what must happen?
54612In passing from its wholly unorganized state to an organized state, what will be the first step?
54612In the second place there arises the question-- whence comes the nitrogen required for the compounding of the carbo- hydrates into proteids?
54612In what way does he treat this argument?
54612In what way, then, is the required co- adaptation to be effected?
54612Is any advantage derived from possession of greater tactual discriminativeness by the last than the first?
54612Is it by the agency of the nucleus?
54612Is it created afresh for every plant and animal?
54612Is it not probable that the process of differentiation has been similar?
54612Is it replied that the Creator was able to make individuals arise from one another in a natural succession, but not to make species thus arise?
54612Is it some other vital principle external to it, or some materials out of which more vital principle is formed?
54612Is it supposed that a new organism, when specially created, is created out of nothing?
54612Is not the growth of an organism an essentially similar process?
54612Is the protoplasm then the active agent?
54612Is there one kind of vital principle for all kinds of organisms, or is there a separate kind for each?
54612Is this a credible conclusion?
54612Is this principle of activity inherent in organic matter, or is it something superadded?
54612It takes for its subject- matter such general questions as-- What is the end subserved by the union of sperm- cell and germ- cell?
54612Let us, then, ask how, by natural selection, this complex apparatus of bones and muscles can have been developed,_ pari passu_ with the horns?
54612Looking at the evidence thus brought together, do we not get an insight into the actions of nitrogenous matter as a worker of organic changes?
54612May we not expect that it will show itself in the divided portions_ not_ flying apart, but remaining near each other, and forming a group?
54612May we not suspect that it is connected( partially though not wholly) with the contrast between their amounts of locomotive exertion?
54612Must we conclude that God went out of his way to devise an animal for these places?
54612Must we then think, like Von Baer, that the distribution of kindred organisms through different media presents an insurmountable difficulty?
54612Nay, indeed, would not this be much the easier?
54612Now what is the process by which the moving equilibrium in any species becomes adapted to some additional external factor furthering its maintenance?
54612Omitting sundry minor generalizations, the exposition of which would involve too much detail, what is to be said of these major generalizations?
54612Passing from the evidence that evolution has taken place, to the question-- How has it taken place?
54612Relations between what things?
54612Shall we regard all the growing axes thus resulting from slips and grafts and buds, as parts of one individual or as distinct individuals?
54612Shall we say five?
54612Shall we say that these amount to one- tenth of the central ganglion?
54612Shall we say that these degraded creatures, incapable of thought or enjoyment, were created that they might cause human misery?
54612Shall we say that"the head and crown of things,"was provided as a habitat for these parasites?
54612Such being the necessities of the case, what will happen on any successive or simultaneous fertilizations?
54612Suppose that the head of a bison becomes much heavier, what must be the indirect results?
54612The above induction is an approximate answer to the question--_When_ does gamogenesis recur?
54612The question arises, then,--do variations of the appropriate kinds occur simultaneously in all these co- operative parts?
54612The question is: Are the differences between species differences of adaptation?
54612The ultimate mystery is as great as ever: seeing that there remains unsolved the question-- What_ determines_ the co- ordination of actions?
54612There naturally arises the question-- How does it happen that parallel results are not observed in other cases?
54612These proceedings have reference to constitutional needs; but how are they prompted?
54612This answer to the question--_when_ does gamogenesis recur?
54612This goes on with children and grandchildren for a few millions of years, and at last who can be astonished that the fins become feet?
54612Those who think that divine power is demonstrated by special creations, have to answer the question-- to whom demonstrated?
54612Though there may arise the question-- Why could they not have been avoided?
54612To my immediate inquiry--"Was the male a wild pig?"
54612To what end is this construction and re- construction?
54612Under what circumstances do such modes of agamic multiplication, variously modified among parasites, occur?
54612Under what form are we to conceive this dynamic element?
54612Under what form has the vital principle existed during these long intervals?
54612Under what influence is this action initiated and guided?
54612Under what play of forces do these zoospores arrange themselves into this strange structure?
54612Until some beneficial result has been felt from going through certain movements, what can suggest the execution of such movements?
54612Was it all along present in the rotifer though asleep?
54612Was the vital principle elsewhere during these years of absolute quiescence?
54612We are concerned with the previous question-- What variations will arise?
54612Well, in the first place, there might be asked the counter- question-- Where are the facts which disprove it?
54612Were its structure and the accompanying instinct divinely planned to fit it to this particular habitat?
54612What are the causes of variation?
54612What are the conditions under which Genesis takes place?
54612What are the laws of hereditary transmission?
54612What are the probabilities that these two anomalous results should have arisen, under these exceptional conditions, as a matter of chance?
54612What are the variations required?
54612What are we to say of a laugh?
54612What are we to say of the repeated cell- fissions by which in some types a blastula, or mulberry- mass, is formed, and in other types a blastoderm?
54612What can be more widely contrasted than a newly- born child and the small, semi- transparent, gelatinous spherule constituting the human ovum?
54612What do we find?
54612What does the vital principle incorporate?
54612What follows?
54612What function does the nucleus discharge; and, more especially, what is the function discharged by the chromatin?
54612What further modifications of habits were probably then acquired?
54612What generates in the cow a desire to bite a substance so unlike in character to her ordinary food?
54612What happens if instead of one organ we consider all the organs?
54612What happens with the blow fly?
54612What happens?
54612What interpretation is to be put on these facts by those who espouse the hypothesis of special creations?
54612What interpretation is to be put on these truths of classification?
54612What is an individual?
54612What is the generalization implied by these two groups of facts?
54612What is the implication?
54612What is the meaning of these differences?
54612What is the most common trait in the development of the sexes?
54612What is the physiological interpretation of these structures and changes?
54612What is the relation between growth and expenditure of energy?
54612What is to be thought of this creature?
54612What kind of life does a crocodile lead?
54612What kinds of individuals were the ancestral ants-- at first solitary, and then semi- social?
54612What made them simultaneously vary in the requisite ways?
54612What must be their properties?
54612What must happen?
54612What must have been the proximate causes of their variations?
54612What must result?
54612What must we say of the ability an organism has to re- complete itself when one of its parts has been cut off?
54612What now happens when they are mixed?
54612What observer has watched for forty years to see whether the fissiparous multiplication of_ Protozoa_ does not cease?
54612What observer has watched for one year, or one month, or one week?
54612What of its divided state?
54612What reason have we for assuming that the inconveniently small tongues occur more frequently than the inconveniently large ones?
54612What results?
54612What shall we say of these leading truths when taken together?
54612What shall we say to this arrangement?
54612What shall we say when we see the inferior destroying the superior?
54612What then are we to say-- what are we to think?
54612What then has disappeared?
54612What was the next step?
54612What will be the characters of the developed insects?
54612What will be the consequence?
54612What will happen?
54612What, again, is the meaning of extinction of types?
54612What, however, are we to say of a multiaxial plant?
54612What, in these cases, must the female do that she may rear members of the next generation?
54612What, now, do we find among the organisms thus subject to various regular and irregular alterations of media?
54612What, now, is the implication?
54612What, then, is the meaning of these peculiar relations of organic forms?
54612What, then, is the only defensible interpretation?
54612What, then, is the probability that there will be two nearly blind ones, and that these will be thus carried?
54612What, then, must happen with the queen- ant, which, through countless generations, has ceased to use certain structures and has lost them from disuse?
54612What, then, must this division be?
54612What, then, remains as the only possible interpretation?
54612What, then, shall we say of the fore limbs and hind limbs of terrestrial mammals, which co- operate closely and perpetually?
54612What, then, will in some cases happen, supposing there is an arrested development consequent on innutrition?
54612Whence arises, then, their striking unlikeness of bulk?
54612Whence comes that vital principle which determines the organizing process?
54612Where is the_ exchange of services_ between somatic cells and reproductive cells?
54612Where now are the facts supporting this assertion?
54612Where, before life commenced, were the superior organisms from which these lowest organisms obtained their organic matter?
54612Which alternative does he prefer?--to cast an imputation on the divine character or to assert a limitation of the divine power?
54612Which do they prefer?
54612Why can not all multiplication be carried on after the asexual method?
54612Why does there not exist a bird of the size of an elephant?
54612Why during thousands of generations has not the nervous structure giving this extreme discriminativeness dwindled away?
54612Why is it that where agamogenesis prevails it is usually from time to time interrupted by gamogenesis?
54612Why is this?
54612Why is this?
54612Why not assume"a fortuitous concourse of atoms"in its broad, simple form?
54612Why should not all organisms, when supplied with sufficient materials, continue to grow as long as they live?
54612Why should not omnipotence have been proved by the supernatural production of plants and animals everywhere throughout the world from hour to hour?
54612Why should the inert_ Aphis_ and the swift- flying Emperor- butterfly be constructed on the same fundamental plan?
54612Why should the thigh near the knee be twice as perceptive as the middle of the thigh?
54612Why should there be no more somites in the Stick- insect, or other Phasmid a foot long, than there are in a small creature like the louse?
54612Why should there exist this process of natural genesis?
54612Why should they not have enlarged by deposit in them of superfluous materials?
54612Why then do most of them run up during many preceding months?
54612Why this unparalleled perceptiveness?
54612Why under the down- covered body of a moth and under the hard wing- cases of a beetle, should there be discovered the same number of divisions?
54612Why, then, should we suppose these rudiments to have become smaller?
54612Will any one who contends that organisms were specially designed, assert that they could not have been so designed as to prevent suffering?
54612With what other contrast between these classes, is this contrast connected?
54612[ 26] What, now, are the implications?

54612or again:--How can the_ dynamical_ phenomena constituting perception correspond with the_ statical_ phenomena of the solid body perceived?
54612or rather-- in what way does he conceive a new organism to be produced?
54612or, if not, where and how did it pre- exist?
54612or, indeed, how could it come to exist at all?
54612still left unanswered the question--_why_ does gamogenesis recur?
54612there does not arise the question-- Why were they deliberately inflicted?
54612why were not their rates of multiplication, their degrees of intelligence, and their propensities, so adjusted that these sufferings might be escaped?

2739I have not seen the Duke''s( or Dukelet''s?
2739I perfectly understand and feel the force of your argument in reference to birds per se, but why do these not apply to insects and plants?
2739I presume he made fine sections: if you are accustomed to such histological work, would it not be worth while to examine hairs of tail of mice?
2739I quite agree that the Government ought to have made him long ago, but what does the Government know or care for Science?
2739I really think the formation is in some places( it varies much) nearly 2,000 feet thick, it occurs often with a green( epidote?)
2739I should extremely like to see your reasons published in detail, for it''riles''me( this is a proper expression, is it not?)
2739I should like to hear whether this does not occur with widely ranging insect- genera?
2739I trust you will work out the New Zealand flora, as you have commenced at end of letter: is it not quite an original plan?
2739I wish he had tabulated his results; could you not suggest to him to draw up a paper of such results, comparing these Islands with Madeira?
2739I wonder whether two varieties of wheat could be similarly treated?

2739If the view does not apply to animals, will it suffice for man?

2739Is it not grand the way in which the Bishop asserts that all such facts are explained by ideas in God''s mind?
2739Is it not opposed quite to the case of Teneriffe and Madeira, and Mediterranean Islands?
2739Is it not probable that guest- flies were aboriginally gall- makers, and bear the same relation to them which Apathus probably does to Bombus?
2739Is it true that female Primula plants always produce females by parthenogenesis?
2739Is not Verbenaceae very closely allied to Labiatae?
2739Is not a very clever man a grade above a very dull one?

6441But, Uncle Robert,said Donald,"what if wagon tires, apples, and air do swell up when they are hot?
6441But, uncle, is it all solid rock for eight thousand miles?
6441But, uncle,asked Donald,"why do we see so many colors in the rainbow?
6441But, uncle,said Donald,"how can the air be weighed if it presses the same in all directions?
6441Buttercups so early?
6441By the way,he said,"is there anything in this bottle?
6441Ca n''t some one show me on paper how it is?
6441Ca n''t you draw your garden to- morrow?
6441Ca n''t you extend your map, Frank, so as to put in the river to the village, showing the milldam and the island?
6441Can we read about that in the Big Book?
6441Can you find one that is exactly round?
6441Can you spare us a little time this morning? 6441 Can you tell a tree by its shape when you look at it from a distance?"
6441Can you tell the direction of the winds that blow the strongest and longest by the shape of the trees?
6441Could n''t we make a sun dial?
6441Did it come from away up the river-- a long way?
6441Did it last all day?
6441Did it?
6441Did the ice make these pebbles?
6441Did these boulders come down the river too?
6441Did those clouds we had this morning come all the way from the ocean?
6441Did you ever hear the story the poet Longfellow tells about how the corn came to the Indians? 6441 Do all seeds grow in the same way?"
6441Do many trains stop here?
6441Do n''t they look like it?
6441Do n''t you know sometimes if the bread does n''t rise, mother says it is because it is too cold?
6441Do n''t you know you have to thank the worms for keeping it so?
6441Do n''t you remember that fog we had early last spring? 6441 Do n''t you remember, Frank,"said Susie,"two or three sheds came down, too?"
6441Do n''t you see it-- there?
6441Do n''t you think this baby had better go back to bed?
6441Do n''t you want to see Susie''s garden, Robert?
6441Do the birds know when it is Sunday?
6441Do they always go that way?
6441Do they stay all summer?
6441Do we need to do anything to the ground,asked Uncle Robert,"before the seeds are put in?"
6441Do you always keep the horses in the barn when they are not in use?
6441Do you go on the river much?
6441Do you keep many cows?
6441Do you know how much a quart or gallon is, Susie?
6441Do you know how the end of a log looks when it is sawed off straight?
6441Do you know the names of all the flowers in your bouquet?
6441Do you know the names of all these trees?
6441Do you know,said Uncle Robert,"there are places all over the United States where such records are kept?
6441Do you mean if it had stayed on the ground where it fell it would have been that deep all over?
6441Do you mean moccasin flower, father?
6441Do you really mean, uncle,cried Susie, with shining eyes,"that the sweet peas I have planted in that bed are the children of those I had last year?"
6441Do you remember that day last winter when Peter froze his ears driving to town?
6441Do you remember what I told you about the bowlders on the island?
6441Do you remember, Robert, what a quantity of sap it took to make just a little sugar?
6441Do you think I have enough, uncle?
6441Do you want a drink?
6441Do you want some company, boys?
6441Does any one know how large the garden is?
6441Does any one know how much land they cover?
6441Does it all go into the air?
6441Does it always stay at the same height in the tube?
6441Does it always?
6441Does it dry up?
6441Does it go outdoors?
6441Does that come out of the inside of the earth?
6441Does that mean,asked Susie,"that if the rain had stayed on the ground it would be an inch and a half deep all over?"
6441Does the air in the bottle pull the rubber in with it?
6441Does the sun paint them then?
6441Does your father sell the milk there now?
6441Drops of water; but that is dew, is n''t it?
6441Especially when you think of the weeds,said Uncle Robert, smiling,"How many square inches would that be, Frank?"
6441Expecting some one to- day, sir? 6441 Father, ca n''t we have a picnic on the river?"
6441Has Susie a calf too?
6441Have both wells the same depth?
6441Have some of my candy, Jennie?
6441Have you any now Jennie?
6441Have you any poppies?
6441Have you ducks and geese, too?
6441Have you never been in a cloud?
6441How big is the garden?
6441How can it be farther away?
6441How can it be?
6441How can that be?
6441How can we make it go to the bottom?
6441How can we tell just how warm it is at any time?
6441How can we?
6441How can we?
6441How cold, uncle?
6441How could I? 6441 How could the river make the flood- plain?"
6441How deep do you have to dig to find water-- to China?
6441How deep do you think the water will dig into the path if we do not fill it up?
6441How deep down into the ground?
6441How deep is the ocean?
6441How did it go away?
6441How did they get here? 6441 How do we know that the atmosphere is so deep?"
6441How do you know that is so, uncle?
6441How do you know when a tree is dying?
6441How do you know when it is noon?
6441How do you know when it is noon?
6441How does it get into the ground?
6441How far down does it go?
6441How far down does some of it go?
6441How high is it, father?
6441How high is the bank?
6441How is it out of doors?
6441How is it when you have a long wet spell?
6441How is that?
6441How large an island is it?
6441How large is the earth, uncle?
6441How long will it be before it gets as big as these trees, uncle?
6441How long will the stove stay hot?
6441How many birds do you know?
6441How many does that make in all?
6441How many have you?
6441How many kinds of apples have you?
6441How many little chickens are there?
6441How much colder is it than it was in the house?
6441How much in the clover field?
6441How shall we find out?
6441How was it made?
6441How?
6441I do n''t see how they could come so far?
6441I know,was the reply,"but have you never seen anything near the ground that looked at all like a cloud?"
6441I think it''s ever so much more fun, do n''t you, uncle?
6441I think that was a very wonderful discovery, do n''t you?
6441I wonder if it has risen much to- day?
6441I wonder what makes it warm?
6441I wonder what they are doing? 6441 If I should call the bottom land a flood- plain,"said Uncle Robert,"would you know why?"
6441If it''s air,said Donald,"why did n''t it go down before the glass was put over it?
6441If the glass was longer would the water stay in it just the same?
6441If these seed leaves are real leaves, uncle,asked Donald,"what feeds the baby morning glories?"
6441If you put an axe or scythe on a dry grindstone and turn the crank, what do you see?
6441If you were going to water the garden with the new two- gallon pail,said Uncle Robert,"how many times would you have to fill it?"
6441If you were to bring a pail of water from the spring,said Uncle Robert,"would you say you had so many inches of water?"
6441Is it always soft like this?
6441Is it of any use?
6441Is it right to shoot the pretty squirrels, Uncle Robert?
6441Is n''t it fun? 6441 Is n''t it nice that it takes such a long time to make a rain- gauge?"
6441Is n''t it strange how everything changes, and how all the changes help us?
6441Is n''t it too early for them?
6441Is n''t that wonderful? 6441 Is n''t that wonderful?"
6441Is n''t this a tiny tree?
6441Is that the way the nice white sand is made?
6441Is that what a barometer is?
6441Is there one at the mouth of our creek?
6441Islands?
6441It is heat that makes the bread rise, is n''t it?
6441It makes quite a delta, does n''t it?
6441It wo n''t hurt the thermometer, will it?
6441It''s always there, is n''t it?
6441Jane,asked Uncle Robert,"have you a candle?"
6441Most of the dirt or-- what did you call it-- silt goes down the river, does n''t it?
6441Now what made that flood- plain?
6441Now,said Uncle Robert,"can you find how many two hundred thirty- one cubic inches there are in two hundred and sixteen thousand cubic inches?"
6441Oh, did you, Don? 6441 Oh, uncle, when are you going to tell it to us?
6441Oh? 6441 Shall we go to see them?
6441Shall we go to the cornfield?
6441Shall we have time to get dinner?
6441Shall we take a walk now?
6441Shall we take the boat?
6441So soon?
6441So we might think of it as a row across the garden of forty square feet, might we not?
6441Susie, while these other people are busy tomorrow, shall we drive to the village and see if we can get the tinsmith to help us make a rain- gauge? 6441 Susie, would you know one if you saw it?"
6441That is because the mercury goes up when it is hot, and down when it is cold, is n''t it?
6441That is n''t cold, is it, uncle?
6441That showed that the weight on it was less, did n''t it, uncle?
6441That would make it rise, would n''t it?
6441That would spoil the creek, would n''t it, father?
6441That''s a wild geranium,said Susie;"but do you think it looks- much like a geranium?
6441That''s when the wind blows, is n''t it, uncle?
6441The house faces east, does n''t it?
6441The house might do,said Uncle Robert;"but would n''t it be better to have a shadow stick?"
6441The violets are just as pretty as when I came, are n''t they?
6441The wind brings the clouds, does n''t it, uncle?
6441Then it was winter, was n''t it?
6441Then the great pieces of rock rub against the air when they whiz through it, and that makes the sparks?
6441Then the watches do n''t tell the true time, do they?
6441Then,said Frank,"when it gets cooler here in the fall it is growing warmer there, and that would make their spring come in September, would n''t it?
6441Then,said Uncle Robert,"if there are one hundred forty- four square inches in one foot, how many in one thousand feet?"
6441Then,said Uncle Robert,"if you call them rows of twelve square inches, how many rows would there be?"
6441There are twenty acres in the wood lot, are n''t there, father?
6441They march pretty well, do n''t they?
6441Uncle,asked Donald,"is n''t the room full of air already?"
6441Uncle,asked Donald,"when it is winter here, is it summer in some other part of the world?"
6441Uncle,said Frank,"is it truly the air that holds the paper on and keeps the water in the glass?
6441Vapor?
6441Was n''t it always there?
6441Was n''t it dreadful? 6441 We might measure a gallon,"said Donald,"and then if we could empty it into a flat pan could n''t we measure that?"
6441Well, then, where has the water gone that fell to- day?
6441Well,said Uncle Robert,"can you find out how many inches there are in all?"
6441Well,said Uncle Robert,"the house, the cornfield, and the woods-- is that all of the farm?"
6441What are clouds made of, uncle?
6441What are you fellows doing?
6441What becomes of all the heat?
6441What becomes of the rest of the seed?
6441What becomes of the stuff that is worn off from them?
6441What book?
6441What did you think it meant?
6441What difference would that make?
6441What do you mean by drying up?
6441What do you mean by mi- grat- ing birds?
6441What do you raise besides corn?
6441What do you suppose made the freshet?
6441What do you think makes the pebbles round?
6441What do you think, Susie?
6441What does it do then?
6441What does it say?
6441What goes here?
6441What happens to the apples when they bake?
6441What is a barometer, uncle? 6441 What is it made of?"
6441What is it that moves up and down in the thermometer?
6441What is our earth made of?
6441What is sap?
6441What is that hole for?
6441What is that in the west now?
6441What is the color of the potato sprouts in the cellar?
6441What is the difference in degrees between the cold and the hot water?
6441What is this?
6441What kind of inches did we call them, Donald?
6441What kind of weather was it when you had to jump to it?
6441What lies between the house and the river?
6441What makes it do that?
6441What makes it warm?
6441What makes the corn such a beautiful green?
6441What makes the difference in degrees?
6441What makes the leaves green?
6441What makes the water boil?
6441What makes the water boil?
6441What makes the water swift?
6441What makes us know that it is spring?
6441What makes you think it will go up by the stove?
6441What makes you think they will be different?
6441What makes you think you''ll have mignonette there?
6441What raises the lid?
6441What shall it be?
6441What shall we do now?
6441What time of the year do the trees grow the most?
6441What was it?
6441What will make it break?
6441What''s back of the barn?
6441When and where does it come out of the ground?
6441When does it come out of the ground?
6441When is it coolest?
6441When is it warmest?
6441When is your shadow the longest?
6441When is your shadow the shortest?
6441When may we begin?
6441When was the first one made?
6441When would it be that time in Denver?
6441When you take up a board that has lain on the grass, what is the color of the grass?
6441Where are the mills?
6441Where are you going to get poppies?
6441Where can we get one?
6441Where do they come from, and where do they go?
6441Where do you suppose this little white pebble came from?
6441Where do you think the weight of the wood would be the greater? 6441 Where does all the rain come from?"
6441Where does it go after it reaches the leaves?
6441Where does that dirt come from?
6441Where does the creek come from?
6441Where does the water in the wells come from?
6441Where does this water come from?
6441Where is the current down there?
6441Where is the deepest part of the river?
6441Where would the cattle drink in the summer?
6441Where''s the bean?
6441Why did n''t the water run over when it was cold?
6441Why do n''t they go around by the path?
6441Why do n''t we call it that?
6441Why do n''t you make it stand up straight?
6441Why do you put grease or oil upon the axles of your buggy?
6441Why do you suppose the current is over there?
6441Why does Jane set the kettle of cold water on the stove?
6441Why does the water run along the path?
6441Why is mercury used, uncle?
6441Why not?
6441Why would n''t this gray stuff in the thermometer get bigger when it''s hot, if everything else does?
6441Why, father,exclaimed Susie,"how could you tell?"
6441Why?
6441Why?
6441Will the gully get deeper every time it rains?
6441Would it be the same in New York, Frank?
6441Would n''t it be green in the ground?
6441Would n''t it he funny,he said,"if father made us follow him that way?"
6441Would that be very much?
6441Would that have been very much?
6441Would the air pressing on the water around the glass make it do so, uncle?
6441Would the corn more than pay for the loss of the water?
6441Would the weather make any difference?
6441Would there be very many more worms than there are now,asked Susie,"if the birds should go away?"
6441Would you like to know?
6441Yes, do n''t you remember when the wells all dried up last summer,said Frank,"that the spring was all right?"
6441Yes,replied Uncle Robert,"but where are your nasturtiums?"
6441Yes,said Frank;"and if we do that there will be twenty- five rows just like it, wo n''t there?"
6441Yes,said Uncle Robert,"shadows are queer, but, if we take one that does n''t jump as yours does, do n''t you think we can measure it?"
6441Yes,said his uncle;"but how shall we make this stand up?"
6441You know how strong the current is over on your side? 6441 You know why we put our plants in the south window in winter?"
6441You saw the limestone down by the spring?
6441You thought of draining off the water and turning the pond into a cornfield, did n''t you, father?
6441A pupil of his thought he would try the same thing with the heaviest liquid known----""That was mercury, was n''t it, uncle?"
6441And the buttercups, did n''t you see them in the glass, too?"
6441Are n''t the clouds lovely sometimes, uncle?
6441Are n''t they cunning?
6441Are these cars ice boxes, uncle?"
6441Are they any good that way, uncle?"
6441Are you, mother?"
6441As they looked at the bright and perfect arch that lay against the dark mass of clouds, Susie asked,"What makes rainbows, uncle?"
6441As they sat around the dinner table Uncle Robert asked:"Do you find it hot in the meadow to- day?"
6441But I want to know what makes the bottom land richer than the land up on the prairie?"
6441But how do you think people told the time before they had clocks?"
6441But you have other fruits besides apples, have n''t you?"
6441But, uncle, what makes them look just like fire?"
6441Could I lift it clear out that way?"
6441Do n''t they look like funny little faces in bonnets?"
6441Do n''t those tomato plants look nice?"
6441Do n''t you know how yellow the grass gets if a board lies on it, and what yellow stalks the potatoes have when they sprout in the cellar?
6441Do n''t you remember about the pebbles?"
6441Do n''t you think they''ll grow, uncle?"
6441Do n''t you think, uncle, it will be nice to have the mignonette in with them?"
6441Do you feel it pressing on your hand?"
6441Do you see, Susie?"
6441Do you think it will grow, uncle?"
6441Does it feel any heavier now?"
6441Donald soon returned, and when Susie saw what he had in his hand she exclaimed:"Is that a thermometer?
6441Frank, will you get a pail of water?
6441Franklin looked straight at the forked lightning and asked,''What are you?''
6441Have you ever noticed when you were eating corn the little hard bud that grows in each grain close to the cob?"
6441How can people know them by their names?"
6441How can they tell when it is so little?"
6441How could it get up here?"
6441How did it look then?"
6441How do they ever get through all these leaves?
6441How do you explain that?"
6441How much would one and one- half cubic inches be?"
6441How will that do?
6441If it presses that way everywhere, why do n''t we feel it?"
6441Is it like a thermometer?"
6441Is n''t it big and white?
6441Is n''t that right?"
6441Is that it?"
6441Is that so, uncle?"
6441Is there a tinsmith in the village?"
6441Now shall I draw it again and make the lines straighter?"
6441On the ground or halfway to the top?"
6441See?"
6441Should we not read what He says there?"
6441So we would expect his to be nearer like this than yours, would n''t we?"
6441Susie, did those violets on my table grow in your garden?"
6441That is what your book says, does it not?"
6441That took a long time, did n''t it, uncle?
6441They do n''t look like it, that''s a fact, but they surely would n''t grow if they were dead, would they?"
6441To- night?"
6441Were they truly red, or just yellow?"
6441What are they for?
6441What do you see on the corn leaves in the early morning?"
6441What do you think they will do when the sun goes down and the air gets cool?"
6441What does that mean?"
6441Where are all these other fields?"
6441Where did you find it?"
6441Where would the noon shadow fall, Susie?"
6441Who can tell how many acres there are in each of these lots?"
6441Why is n''t it straight, uncle?"
6441Why, uncle, air does n''t weigh anything, does it?"
6441You have read about volcanoes, and of the lava that is thrown out of them?"
6441You have seen falling stars, have n''t you?"
6441You see the work this bit of a stream has done in the path?
6441[ Illustration]"Are they very wild?"
6441[ Illustration]"In the middle, would n''t it?"
6441asked Uncle Robert--"large enough to have a picnic there while I am here?"
6441said Uncle Robert,"how many quarts are there in one gallon?"
6441that river away down there?
33994A wise and patriotic decision,said Captain Bruce,"but how did you get out of the Pixie quarters?"
33994And give me-- that?
33994And has it come to this, my good friends?
33994And set me free?
33994And the last part of the conversation--?
33994And what has he to say about it?
33994And you will not be ready to help us before eleven or twelve, then?
33994Any name on her?
33994Are n''t we being gulled by these Pixies? 33994 Are they sending boats ashore?"
33994Are we all ready?
33994Are you Raft Dolomede?
33994Asleep? 33994 Aye; but how shall we bring that about?"
33994But Dodge, pray tell us how you saw all this from your inner prison?
33994But have you any opinion at all about it? 33994 But he has been out in the summer, has n''t he?"
33994But how came you here?
33994But is the news true, comrade?
33994But tell me, what strange fancy could have turned yon insect into an amateur grave digger?
33994But what about Fort Spinder? 33994 But what became of Proud?"
33994But what do the Natties mean?
33994But what is this? 33994 But when is it to be done,"asked Heady,"and how are we to make a landing in face of the enemy''s camp?
33994But where is he?
33994Can not you come without the Governor?
33994Can you make her out, Captain?
33994Captain,said Hide,"would n''t Bruce compromise by simply letting our folks retire from the fort unmolested?
33994Come, lads,cried Pipe,"can not we have a song?"
33994Could our troops break through or climb over it? 33994 Did n''t I wait, just to make sure of that?"
33994Did n''t we batter them, though?
33994Did you observe the position of the men?
33994Do n''t you see? 33994 Do n''t you think you were a little too severe with the boys, father?"
33994Do you know the condition of the Old Bridge?
33994Do you know them?
33994Do you see them?
33994Do you see?
33994Do you think you are old enough to measure strength with the Pixies?
33994Do? 33994 Do?
33994Do?
33994Dodge? 33994 Get out of this trouble?"
33994Go? 33994 Gone-- what do you mean?"
33994Gone? 33994 Has any one a cruse of Lily Balm?"
33994Has your Majesty any orders or counsel? 33994 Have they returned?"
33994Have you done anything?
33994Have you seen Scaly the Sprite down below?
33994Have your old foes driven you from your homestead, and shut you out from the mansion and from me? 33994 How are the ponies, Blythe?
33994How can I bring back the poor lasses? 33994 How did they know of our movements?
33994How did you come here? 33994 How did you find out all this?"
33994How does the creature manage it? 33994 How far away, Sir?"
33994How goes it with the prisoners; are they well?
33994How is this, Sergeant? 33994 How is this,"they cried,"do you mean to leave off a work so well begun?
33994How many names have been drawn?
33994How shall we get off?
33994I followed your venture,continued Hide,"will you risk mine?"
33994If we could abandon the fort,he muttered;"if we could quietly steal out and leave the enemy watching an empty camp?
33994Is it a night attack?
33994Is it possible that we have been mistaken, and that pirates have done this outrage after all? 33994 Is it possible?
33994Is it the Captain?
33994Is n''t it just as easy to call folks by their proper names? 33994 Is n''t this a grand celebration of our victory?"
33994Is she dead?
33994Is that all, Sir?
33994Is the Captain there?
33994Is there no deliverance?
33994Is there no escape then? 33994 Is there no trace at all?"
33994It''s the Pixie navy, then?
33994Lead on? 33994 May I go in with the Fairy?"
33994Must we give it up?
33994Need fresh horses? 33994 No use?
33994Now the question is, what shall we do? 33994 Now, Dan, it''s your turn,"I said;"what say you?"
33994Oh, Faith, you do n''t believe they would do that?
33994Old enough?
33994Outward? 33994 Ready?"
33994Shall we place another picket?
33994Shall we, inclined to sadness, Strike melancholy''s string? 33994 Sharpsight gone?"
33994So my brave little Captain,said the Elf,"you''ve been whistling for the Breeze at last, have you?
33994The fact is, Cap''n?
33994This is what I want,continued Madam Breeze;"to- morrow morning-- wheeze!--do you hear me?
33994Three, did you say?
33994To be sure,said Joe,"why not, Sir?
33994Ugly? 33994 W''at do you know aboout Brownies, Sary Ann, I''d jes''like to know?
33994We are safe this time,whispered MacWhirlie to Vigilant,"but what shall we do?
33994Well, Hide, what is it?
33994Well, Hide, what shall we do?
33994Well, lads,said the Lieutenant, looking around with brightened face,"Is that little unpleasantness settled?
33994Well, what is it? 33994 Well, what then, Sir?"
33994Well,continued the boatswain,"have you nothing to say?
33994Well,said Bruce,"what have you to tell?"
33994Well,she said at last,"now you have me, what''ll you do with me?"
33994Well?
33994Well?
33994What are they doing?
33994What are we to do with these, now?
33994What became of your Pixie?
33994What can I do for you, or what will you do for me?
33994What can it be?
33994What can it be?
33994What can it be?
33994What can it mean?
33994What can this mean?
33994What do you bring me, brothers?
33994What do you make her out?
33994What do you make it out?
33994What do you make of it all?
33994What do you mean, fellow? 33994 What do you think of that?"
33994What do you think, wife? 33994 What has happened?
33994What have you done with the Nurses?
33994What have you to gain by it, Cap''n? 33994 What is Lawe about?"
33994What is it? 33994 What is it?"
33994What is it?
33994What is that?
33994What is that?
33994What is the matter now?
33994What is the news?
33994What is this? 33994 What of the Ram?
33994What sage starts that question?
33994What say you, Captain?
33994What say you, Hide?
33994What shall be done?
33994What shall it be?
33994What shall we do to support you?
33994What was it-- that terrible cry?
33994What will come of all this, Captain?
33994What''s in the wind now?
33994What''s in the wind, now?
33994What''s the matter now?
33994What, is n''t the giantess dead?
33994When do you breakfast?
33994Where away?
33994Where away?
33994Where have the Pixies assaulted the line?
33994Where is our Sophia?
33994Where is the Captain?
33994Where is the Captain?
33994Where is the Lieutenant, then?
33994Where next?
33994Where, where? 33994 Whither now?"
33994Who are they?
33994Who are you and whence do you come?
33994Who ever heard of Pixies hanging a serpent?
33994Who ever heard the like?
33994Who goes there?
33994Who has it?
33994Who is here?
33994Who is it?
33994Who is that?
33994Who will report as to the river front and interior?
33994Who''ll go with me into the hole?
33994Why not print them?
33994Why, Sophie,exclaimed the youth,"what has possessed you?
33994Why, what can I do?
33994Will the Cloud Elves be at home?
33994Will you print the papers?
33994With their prisoners?
33994Yes, yes,said Spite gruffly,"we all see that; but how does the machine work?
33994You are sure you understand your father aright?
33994You can not mean that?
33994You do n''t mean that seriously, do you?
33994You have changed your opinion about some of the inferior creatures, have you not?
33994You have come at last, have you? 33994 You know me, do you?
33994You mean that a Pixie in a bush is worth two in a fort, do n''t you?
33994You will stop your nonsense, return to duty and obey orders, will you?
33994[ BO]But if we fail to discover anything on the foot of the island?"
33994[ L]Did you venture into it?"
33994[ S]But Rodney?
33994*****"Oh Faith, do you hear that?"
33994A little hop- toad, disturbed by the commotion, leaped from beneath a cool leaf to ask"What''s the matter?"
33994A night attack?"
33994Again the voice came, stronger than before, saying,"who is there?"
33994Among these was Gear, who, while he floundered about and ducked his head, said,"Wh-- wh-- what''s become of the brute''s armor?
33994An old Pixie, large and gaunt, thrust out her head, and cried,"What do you want?
33994An''d''ye think I''d trust those fellows on the Point to cut these cables and set me free?
33994An''w''y not here as well as other places?
33994And Rodney?
33994And how could they heave the roof upward with a great log lying on it?
33994And how''s Spite the Spy?
33994And so these horrid Pixies have worried the life out of you?
33994And then, was their noble Lieutenant, their leader now, to risk his life in that cave with so few to support him?
33994And what bird could have built it?"
33994And what have you to say about the whole affair?"
33994And what is this?
33994And what would become of the Pixie cause in that case?
33994And you did n''t go to my gentle Lady Zephyr this time, hey?
33994And you have come to the little fat lady at last, hey?
33994And-- who knows?
33994Another victim?
33994Any Brownies about?
33994Are we sure that our lost ones are at the fort yet?
33994Are you frozen up?
33994Are you ready for trial?"
33994Are you ready to accept it without more ado?"
33994Are you satisfied?
33994Are you sure that is Ensign Lawe?
33994Are you sure that you are not badly hurt, True?
33994Are you sure-- it''s-- only you?"
33994As he sat there, awaiting their return, he queried again and again,"What can it be?"
33994Asleep, I hope?"
33994Assassinate Bruce?
33994At last a low, timid voice squeaked forth the question,"Who''s there?"
33994Blythe sprang forward, grasped Tigrina by the arm until she fairly winced under the pressure, and exclaimed,"are they alive?--are they safe?
33994But can you be sure that the slaveholder scout will not be back again, with a host of its fellows, and do its work more surely?"
33994But could the devoted officers and their little band escape destruction?
33994But es for them Pixies-- w''at''s the use uv sech critters, anyhow?
33994But how?
33994But is Mr. Hoox Lee in earnest do you think?"
33994But pray, whence came the spider?
33994But to marry him?
33994But what could I say?
33994But what could you do even if I were to tell you?
33994But what else did you observe?"
33994But what if Spite should manage to get his great log anchor on it?
33994But what were they to think of this last movement of the Pixie?
33994But where will he land?"
33994But, can I manage it?"
33994Ca n''t we cross the south channel?
33994Ca n''t we get that boat adrift?
33994Ca n''t you hear?"
33994Call that seamanship?
33994Can it be?
33994Can not they awake?
33994Can you read the Order?]
33994Captain, what say you?
33994Come, what say you?"
33994Commodore, have there been any boats or ships off shore lately?"
33994Could it be possible?
33994Could n''t you keep them out, wife?"
33994Could they hold it until Governor Wille came to their help?
33994Cousin Faith gone?
33994Did n''t know that Faith and Sophia are safe in the Brownie camp, hey?
33994Did they mean to test their new machine on me?
33994Did you notice the shaking of the earth?
33994Do n''t you know me?"
33994Do n''t you remember that they told us of Hide''s plans?
33994Do n''t you see?
33994Do you all understand?"
33994Do you believe it?"
33994Do you blame her?
33994Do you know anything?
33994Do you know that yacht?"
33994Do you mean our poor boatswain who was lost this morning?"
33994Do you see now?
33994Do you see them putting up a new tent?"
33994Do you see them?
33994Do you see, Boatswain?
33994Ensign?"
33994Faith ally herself with you?
33994Faith, had n''t you better leave off distilling, and help us for a while with the dressing?"
33994Faith?
33994Gone!--where?
33994Gone?
33994Has his breath improved any?
33994Has the Assembly any advice?"
33994Have you lint and balm in your satchel?
33994Have you taken summer lodgings?
33994Her balmy breath would n''t quite suit your present purpose?
33994Her eyes flashed as she answered:"Spite, chief, Pixie, fiend!--whatever you call yourself, what evil spirit could have devised such an unholy scheme?
33994Hey, Raft?"
33994Hey, mother?"
33994Hey, my boy, do n''t you know Sophie''s daddy?"
33994How are we to get back?
33994How are your new boarders?
33994How came he into their hands?"
33994How came he therein?
33994How came we here?"
33994How can one tell?
33994How could he have got off unnoticed?
33994How d''ye tink dem insecks an''bugs and tings w''at Mars Mayfiel''tole us aboout, done foun''out how to do dar peert tricks?
33994How did he get it?"
33994How did it come about?"
33994How do the lads manage to escape the darts from the--?"
33994How does it look on your side?"
33994How is the thing done?
33994How much better to be free upon the Fringe, than imprisoned in Dame Tigrina''s halls?
33994How shall I find fitting duty and engagement for these eager hearts, restless hands, and busy brains?"
33994How should he do that without being discovered?
33994How with yours?"
33994I am delighted and honored by your action, Madam-- Madam?
33994I wonder the sages did n''t think of that question?"
33994If he failed again, what should they do?
33994If she should speak out her whole heart, would he not turn against her and Faith with bitterness?
33994If you ca n''t marry Halfway, what do you say to Raft?
33994In a pinch are you?
33994In the meantime how fared it with Faith and Sophia?
33994In the meanwhile how fared it with Twadeils and his party?
33994Indeed, it had well nigh come to such a pass with the Brownies that they ceased to ask: How shall we beat back the Pixies?
33994Is Man an Automaton?
33994Is all in order for the assault?"
33994Is he only seeking to turn her attention from his friends?
33994Is it a dream?
33994Is it all chance?
33994Is it so?"
33994Is it the vision of a nightmare?
33994Is that your husband?"
33994Is there a traitor among us?
33994It''s you, is it?
33994Labyrinthea ran down her trap line, pushed her head between the bars of a window and called out,"Who''s there?"
33994March out with arms, banners, and all the honors, and leave the Brownies to occupy the old shell, and destroy it at their leisure?
33994May we not find some other traces of them that will enable us to go to work more intelligently?
33994More forts to smash?
33994Moreover, for why should we keep it a secret?
33994Not fit for the journey back?
33994Now, whar dey gwine to fin''out all dat, I ax agin, an''how is dey gwine to do it, unless de Fairies helps''em?
33994Now-- wheeze!--rest there a moment, will you?
33994On the ponies, hey?
33994Or has this something to do with the loss of my poor child?
33994Or stop and pick up some of the fellows imprisoned here in the towers?"
33994Or, would anything interfere to hinder him from keeping his promise?
33994Ought she not to make the sacrifice, and save dear Faith?
33994Pray, how chanced you to come across this waterman and his boat?"
33994Pretty well done out, hey?
33994Queer, is n''t it?
33994Ready, Captain?
33994Ready, my hearties?"
33994Scarcely an hour had passed ere Captain Bruce heard the sharp challenge of the sentinel before his tent door:"Who goes there?"
33994See those lights on the Emma?
33994Shall I keep her so?"
33994Shall I slip out now or not?
33994Shall we have''Woodmen, Boatmen, Sailors and Horsemen?''
33994Shall we print the Brownie book?"
33994Shall we push our raft right over the barricade to the gate of the fort?
33994She spoke in a dreamy way, as though talking to herself:"Carried off by the Pixies?
33994She stretched up an arm to-- seize the Brownies?
33994Silence-- do you hear?
33994Sophia gone?"
33994Sophia?
33994Speak, ca n''t you?"
33994Speak, girl, what do you mean?"
33994Spite''s voice was trembling with-- fear, shall we say?
33994That was very mean, to be sure; but what better could you expect from Spite the Spy?
33994That''s the plan; what say you?"
33994The Brownies jumped to their feet and MacWhirlie exclaimed:"What is that?
33994The Mistress interrupted the reading:"Well, what has interested you?
33994The Mistress waited a moment or two and then in her quiet way replied,"Pray, how should I know?
33994The point under discussion was this:"Shall we make another appeal to Governor Wille, or shall we first try an assault upon the new Pixie fort?"
33994The suggestion to visit the other towers and bag all the Pixies therein was a strong temptation; but ought they not now to push straight to camp?
33994The warmth of the sun was pleasant, for I was chilled by the water, and was so exhausted that, would you believe it?
33994Then he saw Wille and Dido go off wearily to their bed- chamber, and wondered,"Shall I disturb them?
33994Then they began to clamor for orders:"What shall we do, Captain?"
33994There is an opening then in your solid shell?
33994There''s nothing to hinder you from following up what you have already found out yourselves, is there?"
33994There, do you see?
33994Think they can carry us back?"
33994Think''s I, ca n''t I lay hold of the old lady, and get her to tow me out of this, and may be ashore?
33994This; I found myself unconsciously asking,"What will destroy the Wasp, in its turn?"
33994Tigrina at last broke the silence:"You will give me my life?"
33994True looked in amazement upon him, and asked half angrily:"What reason, even according to Pixie policy, could you have had for telling us such lies?"
33994True therefore questioned the returning searchers:"Have you seen anything?"
33994True turned to his captive and asked,"Are you the captain of that yacht?"
33994Under water a whole day?"
33994W''at''s de good?
33994W''at''s people goin''to say about sech goins- on, any way?
33994Want proof of it, do you?"
33994Was n''t the creature dead?
33994Was the Sergeant in a merry humor, and planning some trick upon the party?
33994Was there any chance for them to return to the fort?
33994We ca n''t do much to- day, and-- but will to- morrow be clear?"
33994We have heard the reports of the scouts; shall we make an attack?"
33994Well, what is it?"
33994Were they lost?
33994Wh-- what do you think he has d-- d-- done with it?"
33994What about Pipe?
33994What are the defences of the front walls?"
33994What can we expect from our terrible foes?
33994What could I do against those dreadful creatures?
33994What could be done?
33994What could that mean?
33994What could that portend?
33994What could the strange interruption mean?
33994What do you make her out to be?"
33994What do you say to that?"
33994What had I to say about this incident?
33994What had become of Spite?
33994What has become of them?
33994What has the sage to say on that point?"
33994What has troubled them?
33994What have you to rely upon for them all?
33994What have you to say to that?"
33994What interest have you in the silly things?"
33994What is he doing?
33994What is that to you?
33994What is the cause of this?"
33994What is the mysterious ligature that binds in this sympathy of movements the sovereign will of immortal man and the automatic brain cell of a spider?
33994What is to be done with us?
33994What is wanted now, pray?"
33994What is wrong with Rodney?
33994What say you, lads?"
33994What say you, lads?"
33994What say you, my pretty?
33994What say you?
33994What say you?
33994What say you?"
33994What say you?"
33994What say you?"
33994What shall I do about it?
33994What shall I do?
33994What shall be our policy?
33994What shall it be?"
33994What shall we do?
33994What should I do?
33994What should they do?
33994What should they do?
33994What should we do?
33994What sort of hidden machinery has that Pixie within himself to enable him to go contrary to the current into the bushes on yonder shore?"
33994What troubles you?"
33994What''s i''the wind, that you all run from your old comrade, and stand staring at me as though I were a ghost?
33994What?
33994When did Abby write it?"
33994When the Assembly had been called to order, the King of the Brownies asked,"Who will volunteer to go to America with our dear friends, the Willes?"
33994Whence does it arise?
33994Where are they?
33994Where are we?
33994Where could the others be?
33994Where does he keep his yacht?"
33994Where is Dodge''s Jail?]
33994Where is the next pier?"
33994Where shall we find the fellow''s laboratory?
33994Whirlit, Keener, you rogues, where are you?
33994Whirlit, Whisk, Keener and all the rest of you, do you hear?
33994Whither?"
33994Whither?"
33994Who else could it be?
33994Who goes there?"
33994Who knows?
33994Who made her?
33994Who was on guard over there, to the north?"
33994Who was the sentinel?"
33994Who will volunteer?
33994Who would have thought it of the old hag?
33994Why are n''t they here now?"
33994Why had such a sorrow come upon them?
33994Why should she, too, have come back with a tear upon her cheek?
33994Why should this instinctive sympathy of children with Automata and their clumsy tricks, be so deep- seated and wide- spread?
33994Why should we dwell upon what followed?
33994Why, comrades, what has possessed you?
33994Why, do n''t you see?
33994Why, when did Brownies ever give up to Pixies?
33994Why-- in Heaven''s name, Vigilant, what''s the matter?"
33994Will it hold out, I wonder?"
33994Will she remember, think you?
33994Will you believe that among the Tenants of our Old Farm is a nation of Fairies?
33994Would he ever get it up?
33994Would it not be right for her to save Faith, at least, by complying?
33994Would you go down to the bottom of the lake to speak to her?
33994Would you like to know who we are?
33994Wounded, nearly exhausted, overpowered by numbers, what could I do?
33994Yes, it''s Pipe-- who else?
33994Yes?
33994Yes?
33994You are quite sure of that?"
33994You did n''t know that the Brownies had been here, hey?
33994You know where that is?"
33994You want to know my opinion of the matter?
33994You''d make a fine base ball, now, would n''t you?
33994[ AC]"How shall I put her head now?"
33994[ AD] What could control them when the absence of their two chief officers should be discovered?
33994and were beginning to wonder, How shall we escape with our lives?
33994asked Policy,"and would you kindly tell us where she may be found?"
33994asked the chief,"shall we go on?"
33994ca n''t you wake?
33994cried Policy,"and now, when will you begin operations, and how many of us will you want to help you?"
33994cried the Brownie sentinel,"What boat is that?"
33994do n''t you see he has stripped it off?
33994do you see that?"
33994echoed the unseen Brownie Queen,"unnatural?
33994exclaimed Tigrina,"and will it sing for me, too?
33994friend Steadypace,"was the reply,"do n''t you know me?
33994he cried,"where is the door of the old hag''s cave?"
33994he muttered at last,"would you risk the discovery of all for the sake of one miserable Brownie more or less in the world?
33994how could she listen to such a proposal?
33994if their beloved leader should come to this end?
33994or any other way to prevent the catastrophe which they dreaded?
33994or was it only the grass rocking in the wind?"
33994or, seize Faith?
33994said Hide,"or-- what?"
33994said Spite in his rough way,"Where''s old Hyp this morning?"
33994said he,"is it that you are after?
33994she cried,"I-- I-- and so it''s not Bruce this time?
33994that''s the way the wind blows, hey?
33994what are you putting her head down the lake for?"
33994what can that mean?
33994what is this?"
33994what shall I call you?"
33994what shall we do?"
33994who is there?
33994who?
33994will she not venture?
43200But why do we prune?
43200Did you hear this cricket chirp? 43200 From Paris to Rome?"
43200From Rome to Constantinople?
43200How did you tame them?
