2923 | And the second is: How has it been perpetuated? |
2923 | But 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? |
2923 | How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night? |
2923 | How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons? |
2923 | The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence? |
2923 | What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis? |
2923 | Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?" |
2923 | said his opponents;"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way? |

28471 | Carrying this consideration farther, it may be asked, Of what use are the five toes to man? |
28471 | If man has gone through such an extended course of development, why has he left no remains? |
28471 | Shall we offer a suggestion as to this new use? |
28471 | These considerations bring us to an important question: Why did the man- ape gain a length of arm not the best suited to its arboreal habitat? |
28471 | Why, in fact, do changes in physical structure ever take place? |
28471 | Would not a solid foot have answered the purpose of walking quite as well? |

2089 | Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents? |
2089 | Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance? |
2089 | But 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"? |
2089 | Do they believe that anything in this universe happens without reason or without a cause? |
2089 | Or are the species so created produced without parents? |
2089 | Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?... |
22408 | Swan,exclaimed the latter, halting,"I can scarcely comprehend Why I never hear you talking: Are you really dumb, my friend?" |
22408 | What do you mean, Herbert? |
22408 | What is that, mother? |

35413 | Nonetheless, the question is raised: Do the five species herein placed in the genus_ Ptychohyla_ constitute a natural assemblage? |
34368 | If the normal allelomorph is thought of as the positive character, which one of the mutants is due to its loss or to its absence? |
34368 | It may be asked what will happen when two factors whose loci are more than 50 units apart in the same chromosome are used in the same experiment? |

35968 | _ Melanitta fusca_ subsp.?. |
2925 | Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties? |
2925 | But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals? |
2925 | But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature? |
2925 | Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock? |
2925 | Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species? |
2925 | Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature? |
2925 | Now, what is the result of all this? |
2925 | The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock? |
2925 | What will be the result, then? |
2925 | What, then, takes place? |
2925 | is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature? |
16136 | But 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? |
16136 | Did things so happen or did they not? |
16136 | Now that we have arrived at the origin of this word"Biology,"the next point to consider is: What ground does it cover? |
16136 | The 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? |
16136 | To this my reply is, Why should I, when that statement was made seven years ago? |
16136 | What has become of the bones of all these animals? |
16136 | What is the object of medical education? |
16136 | What is to be the end to which these are to be the means? |
16136 | What we desire to know is, is it a fact that evolution took place? |
18227 | APRIL-- BUDS AND BIRD SONGS_"Has she not shown us all? |
18227 | And why are the drops at the beginning of the shower much larger than those which follow? |
18227 | By the way, ought not the poet to have made it"her"house? |
18227 | Did you ever stop long enough to listen to the full song of the catbird? |
18227 | Did you ever try to take the young minks from their nest in the latter part of April and did Mrs. Mink fight? |

23742 | I do n''t think of any other, uncle? |
23742 | Is it not, uncle, because the people there need these warm furs to keep out the terrible cold? |
23742 | Now, Charley, do you think you had better read books, that can have such an effect as that? |
23742 | Oh uncle,cried Charley,"what wonderful and nice things you have told me? |
23742 | Oh yes, yes, dear uncle, why did n''t I think of that? |
23742 | What is the reason, uncle? 23742 Why, Charley, do n''t these animals want this nice, thick fur to keep themselves warm?" |
23742 | But is n''t there another reason?" |
23742 | Do n''t you think our Charley was pleased, that his father was so kind to him? |
23742 | Do you know, Charley, what a Diary is?" |
23742 | Do you think you have resolution and perseverance enough for all these things?" |
23742 | Do you think, uncle, father will be willing, that I should study and go to college, like our minister Edward?" |

21111 | Does she understand? |
21111 | How could I watch the process of incubation? |
21111 | I 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? |
21111 | I was asked"if it was a very rare bird?" |
21111 | Nothing 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?" |
21111 | The bell was rung, the servants came in, and whispered consultations were held as to what could be done, and"What would mistress say?" |
25888 | Mon,he would say to a shirking, shrinking coolie second- story man,"mon, do you t''ink dis the time to sleep? |

37894 | How can the birds ever get where they are going if they are dependent upon the whim of the winds? |
39396 | What is the meaning of predation? |
2929 | But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature? |
2929 | Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter? |
2929 | Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection? |
2929 | Is there any test of a physiological species? |
2929 | Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain? |
2929 | Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences? |
2929 | What if species should offer residual phenomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection? |
2929 | What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular? |
2929 | that none of the phenomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way? |
2929 | that there is such a thing as natural selection? |
36270 | And who is to say positively whether an alloy of copper and zinc is to be regarded as a mixture or as a compound of the two metals? |
36270 | The old parental habit of asking of the school- boy or the school- girl:"What prizes have you gained?" |
36270 | The question is not,"What prizes have you?" |
36270 | What is, then, this Evolution? |
36270 | but"What have you learned?" |
2926 | But has this been done? |
2926 | But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature? |
2926 | But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result? |
2926 | In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature? |
2926 | So what is the use of what you have done?" |
2926 | What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis? |
2926 | What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is? |
2926 | What is this very speech that we are talking about? |
2926 | What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification? |

20934 | Can this difference be accounted for from evaporation alone, which certainly is more prevalent in bottoms? |
20934 | Do these different dates, in such distant districts, prove anything for or against migration? |
20934 | Now, if they pursue the sun into lower latitudes, as some suppose, in order to enjoy a perpetual summer, why do they not return bleached? |
20934 | Say, what retards, amidst the summer''s blaze, Th''autumnal bulb, till pale, declining days? |
20934 | Were they watery particles of the air frozen as they floated, or were they evaporations from the snow frozen as they mounted? |

30701 | If it can not produce anything new, is there any other way in which selection becomes an agent in evolution? |
30701 | If then selection does not bring about transgressive variation in a general population, how can selection produce anything new? |
30701 | Is it not rather an empty generalization to say that any kind of change is a process of evolution? |
30701 | Is it not then more probable that the mammal and bird possess this stage in their development simply because it has never been lost? |

37221 | But how can the doctrine of determinants be applied to it? |
37221 | But how does this fabric, endowed with an architecture so complicated, actually produce the development of the adult from the egg? |
37221 | Does it imply preformation or epigenesis? |
37221 | How does Weismann attempt to reconcile his hypothesis of differentiating division with these facts? |
37221 | In fact, the deepest consideration leads us again to the original question: Is embryonic development epigenesis or evolution? |
37221 | Is it the new formation of complexity, or is it the becoming visible of complexity previously invisible to us?'' |
37221 | Is there no choice left for the naturalist? |
37221 | What is development? |

37221 | Would it not spoil her of her beauty? |
37221 | Would not this change for us the presence of Nature? |

21019 | Is there any reason to believe that new species may originate by the accumulation of fluctuating individual variations? |
21019 | It does indeed meet with approval, but the question is, from whom? |
21019 | It may be asked: What bearing has this principle of multiple origins? |
21019 | On the contrary, is there not convincing proof that many, and presumably most, adaptations can not be thus accounted for? |
21019 | The reader may now ask, What, then, is your idea of evolution? |
21019 | What conclusions did he reach? |
21019 | What then is there in the whole phenomenon worthy of notice with regard to the theory of Descent? |
21019 | Why does Schmidt not mention here the names of Ruetimeyer, His, and Semper? |
21019 | Why not? |
21019 | Will Haeckel, in his usual manner try to cast suspicion on Hertwig also? |
45084 | Do they live here? |
45084 | Another point which must be taken into consideration is this: What use is to be made of the specimens after they are prepared? |
45084 | Are not those their ends just peeping above the mud?" |
45084 | Are they for purposes of real study, or simply as curious objects to look at? |
45084 | But it may be asked, Where is the game to be found? |
45084 | Shall I take off my shoes and socks and wade for them?" |
45084 | The question, How are skeletons to be prepared? |
45084 | To begin at the beginning, How rarely do we find the embryo of any species represented in a collection of dried plants? |
45084 | What do we find? |
45084 | What, then, is the cause of this? |
45084 | Where are the pleasant hunting- grounds in which they most do congregate? |
45084 | Why is it that the students of Osteology are so few in number? |
45084 | You examine the sides, and what do you see? |
45084 | how can I get them? |
40448 | Cuckoo, cuckoo, How do you? 40448 Yes, yes, yes,"you say,"but what do you do? |
40448 | And that is a jolly piece of news, is it not? |
40448 | And we drag something behind us: can you guess what it is? |
40448 | Can you guess why they are not? |
40448 | Do you know I never met a little boy yet, who did not want to be a farmer when the hay is being cut? |
40448 | Do you know how to thunder on a door? |
40448 | Do you remember in the fairy stories about the people who lived near the forests? |
40448 | Do you remember the Autumn fairy story? |
40448 | Do you remember the haymaking and what the hay was carted away for? |
40448 | I asked the Elf what we do do in Summer time, and her eyes grew bigger and bigger, and she clapped her hands and said,"Do? |
40448 | I shouted out to them as they went past the window,"Where did you get all that mistletoe?" |
40448 | I wonder if you know why? |
40448 | II SUMMER And what are the things we know the Summer by? |
40448 | In Autumn we pick blackberries, and is not that the finest fun of all the year? |
40448 | Ready for what, you want to know? |
40448 | Shall I tell you? |
40448 | The Imp says,"It''s old King Frost freezing the rain, is n''t it, Ogre?" |
40448 | Well, and what do they mean but the heat? |
40448 | What do you think they really are? |
40448 | What do you think? |
40448 | You can make a tremendous noise that way, And then suddenly I jump up and roar out,"Who''s there?" |
40448 | You know thistles and dandelions, of course, but I wonder if you know an orchid when you see one? |
47579 | Missed what? |
47579 | But you are interested in the reason given? |
47579 | Is not the world brighter and better for their being? |
47579 | Looks very much like a little Pig, does''nt he, children? |
47579 | To see us spreading our wings in the sun, and preening our ruby and emerald and topaz and amethyst tinted plumes, ribbons, and streamers? |
47579 | Who knows? |
47579 | Why must we be_ taught_ to see the beauties around us? |
40919 | Are your chipmunks still alive? |
40919 | Did he die? |
40919 | Does aught lie on it? |
40919 | How big do they grow? |
40919 | Is n''t it possible,he demanded bitterly,"that a well- behaved meadow mouse may make a neighborly call on a marsh wren?" |
40919 | Not Chippy- Nipmunk? |
40919 | Well, how about my friend? |
40919 | Well, how was it? |
40919 | What about James? |
40919 | What makes your arm shake so? |
40919 | What time does the train start? |
40919 | Whiskey? |
40919 | You are n''t afraid of an old screech- owl, are you? |
40919 | You''re not scared, are you? |
40919 | ***** Sweetest of all the singers, the thrush- folk-- what shall I say of them? |
40919 | *****"Can you go to Maryland to- day on a bird- trip?" |
40919 | How would a few fried cakes and some cider go?" |
40919 | It is a far cry to Ephesus, and whether the Seven still sleep there, who may say? |
40919 | Perhaps it was the wind; but why did not the tree- tops sway instead of standing in frozen rows? |
40919 | So what do you suppose he did?" |
40919 | Who keeps them open? |
40919 | Who made them? |
40919 | Why may they not meet on some common plane? |
44820 | But where are the leaves? |
44820 | But why does the strawberry develop this large mass of apparently useless matter? |
44820 | Can I account for these peculiarities on mere natural grounds as well as for the others? |
44820 | Have two original organs coalesced in the young ascidian, or has one organ split up into a couple with the rest of the class? |
44820 | How am I to account for these peculiarities? |
44820 | How does it come, though, that slugs and snails now live together in the self- same districts? |
44820 | How is it, then, that naturalists had so long overlooked this distinction? |
44820 | Must we not conclude that there are elements in the butterfly''s feeble brain exactly answering to the blank picture of its specific type? |
44820 | Nothing could be simpler and prettier than this alternation of dark and light belts; but how is it produced? |
44820 | Now which of us most nearly represents the old mud- loving vertebrate ancestor in this respect? |
44820 | Now why has this kind of galium yellow flowers, while its near kinsman yonder has them snowy white? |
44820 | So, 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? |
44820 | What can be the raw material on which that pin''s head of a brain sets itself working? |
44820 | What makes the strawberry stalk grow out into this odd and brightly coloured lump, bearing its small fruits embedded on its swollen surface? |
44820 | What, however, forms the thinkable universe of these little ants running to and fro so eagerly at my feet? |
44820 | Why are there still potentilla fruit- clusters which consist of groups of dry seed- like nuts? |
44820 | Why is this? |
44820 | Why, again, are the petals green? |
18629 | Am I mistaken, or are kingfishers less numerous than they were only a few seasons since? |
18629 | And may I say a word for the Thames otter? |
18629 | Are young oaks ever seen in those grounds so often described as park- like? |
18629 | But does it move? |
18629 | But may not the ordinary conditions of suburban improvement often account for the decay of such trees without occult causes? |
18629 | But, then, what would be the pleasure of securing him, the fleeting pleasure of an hour, compared to the delight of seeing him almost day by day? |
18629 | Can not you see them? |
18629 | Can you not almost grasp the odour- laden air and hold it in the hollow of the hand? |
18629 | Did any one ever see a plane or a laurel look like that? |
18629 | Do they not in their little compass contain the potentialities, the past and the future, of human life itself? |
18629 | Had they, then, flown westwards? |
18629 | How could I arrange for you next autumn to see the sprays of the horse- chestnut, scarlet from frost, reflected in the dark water of the brook? |
18629 | How many foot- pounds, then, of human energy do these grains in my hand represent? |
18629 | How many times has the morning star shone yonder in the East? |
18629 | I have threshed out in my hand three ears of the ripe wheat: how many foot- pounds of human energy do these few light grains represent? |
18629 | In strictness the term will not, of course, be accurate, yet by what other word can this appearance in the atmosphere be described but as a bloom? |
18629 | Is it just possible that they may not even have known that a trout was there at all; but have merely hoped for perch, or tench, or eels? |
18629 | Is it possible that he could have escaped? |
18629 | Is it possible that he may have almost miraculously made his way down the stream into other pools? |
18629 | Is it possible that the severe frosts we sometimes have split oak trees? |
18629 | Is there any difference in the taste of London honey and in that of the country? |
18629 | Is there no shadow? |
18629 | Might they even, if they did find him, have mercifully taken him and placed him alive in some other water nearer their homes? |
18629 | Now the river fox is, we know, extremely destructive to fish, but what are a basketful of"bait"compared to one otter? |
18629 | Or is it the buff leaves, the grey stalks, the dun grasses, the ripe fruit, the mist which hides the distance that makes the day so brown? |
18629 | Stand back; the sea there goes out and out, to the left and to the right, and how far is it to the blue overhead? |
18629 | The fleck of cloud yonder, does it part it in two, or is it but a third of the way? |
18629 | The green mist thickens in one spot almost at the horizon; or is it the dark nebulous sails of a vessel? |
18629 | The pool was deep and the fish quick-- they did not bale it, might he have escaped? |
18629 | The question may be asked: Why have you not indicated in every case the precise locality where you were so pleased? |
18629 | Then there is the"cock- pin,"the"road- bat"( a crooked piece of wood), the"sherve- wright"( so pronounced)--shelvewright(?) |
18629 | There were fish I felt sure as I left the spot and returned along the dusty road, but where were they? |
18629 | Were there any fish? |
18629 | What can the world produce equal to the June rose? |
18629 | What wonder could surprise us coming from the wonderful sea? |
18629 | What would the haymakers say to such a sight? |
18629 | Where do these pebbles come from? |
18629 | Where is the foreign evergreen in the competition? |
18629 | Who could have supposed that such a downpour as occurred that summer would have had the effect it had upon flowers? |
18629 | Why not mention the exact hedge, the particular meadow? |
18629 | Will no one break through the practice, and try the effect of English trees? |
18629 | Will these fragments, after a process of trituration, ultimately become sand? |
47728 | But suppose the case were otherwise, what would it avail? |
47728 | Do they ever think of the cost? |
47728 | If 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? |
47728 | She understood how to make an umbrella, did n''t she? |
47728 | The question is not, Can they_ reason_? |
47728 | What was to be done, an onward move against such a portent, or a calm withdrawal when everything was in their favor? |
47728 | nor, Can they_ talk_? |
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? |
47580 | My friend entering, I asked:''What is your bird doing?'' |
44849 | But what is habit? |
44849 | Had 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? |
44849 | In attacking this problem we must ask ourselves, What are the purposes that colouration, and, especially, decoration, can alone subserve? |
44849 | In other words, How does colour affect the sensibility of its possessor? |
44849 | Is it any explanation to say a creature performs a given action by habit? |
44849 | See, it has pitched upon a slender twig, and notice how instinctively( shall we say?) |
44849 | The wings close, and where is its beauty now? |
44849 | What country- bred child forgets the strange smell of the city he first visits? |
44849 | Who, that has seen a peacock spread his glorious plumes like a radiant glory, can doubt its fascination? |
44849 | Whoever is or can be? |
44849 | Why are night- blooming flowers white, or pale yellows and pinks, but to render them conspicuous? |
44849 | Why are so many flowers striped in the direction of the nectary, but to point the painted way to the honey- treasures below? |
44849 | Why have plants their tinted flowers, but to entice the insects there? |
44849 | and how does it affect the sense organs of others? |
44849 | or is it not rather playing with a word which expresses a phenomenon without explaining it? |
44849 | |? |
44849 | |? |
34077 | And that later dark scales shall appear at the exact spots to which the midrib must be prolonged? |
34077 | But is it on that account necessarily wrong? |
34077 | But it may be that Spencer''s assumption is the_ simpler_ one? |
34077 | But the question remains, Why is this the fact? |
34077 | Can not its fundamental ideas still be quite correct, and it itself therefore perfectly justified as a means of further progress? |
34077 | Following the precedent of Waagen and Neumayr, Scott sharply discriminates between the inconstant vacillating variations which it is supposed[?] |
34077 | For who can say precisely how large this number is? |
34077 | How is it that the useful variations were always present here? |
34077 | Now in what shall this process consist, if not in a modification of the constitution of the germ? |
34077 | Now what does this mean? |
34077 | Now 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? |
34077 | Or whether it is on the increase or on the decrease? |
34077 | Or, suppose that they had really appeared, but occurred only in individuals, or in a small percentage of individuals? |
34077 | Suppose that the useful colors had not{ 27} appeared at all, or had not appeared at the right places? |
34077 | Surely my critics can not be ignorant of the prominent part which imagination has recently played in the exactest of all natural sciences-- physics? |
34077 | The question arises, therefore, Have the principles just developed any claim to validity in the explanation of_ qualitative_ modifications? |
34077 | Was it directive formative laws? |
34077 | Where are the formative laws in such cases? |
34077 | Where, for example, are the fossil remains{ 76} of the rejected individuals in the line of the Horses? |
34077 | Why? |

47578 | Animals of lower degree as regards every other disposition of life, why should they not participate in this one? |
47578 | Besides, what would it advantage us to substitute really English names for them? |
47578 | How can this be? |
47578 | Of these submerged things the question has been asked perhaps more frequently than of any others, What use are they? |
47578 | So rich a shade, so green a sod, Our English fairies never trod; Yet who in Indian bower has stood, But thought on England''s"good green wood?" |
47578 | The poet asks,"Who can paint like nature?" |
47578 | To gaze upon her oaks again? |
47578 | What has the ingenuity of man ever devised that has not its prototype somewhere in nature? |
47578 | When at length we arrive at Seal Bark, who shall mistake it? |
47578 | Where is that? |
47578 | Why can not they have plain English names? |

47840 | Where did you hide it, Jay? |
47840 | Why do you keep that little corner swept? |
47840 | But where are the petals? |
47840 | Can it be that the spirit of our industrial age is so pervasive that even the birds are unable to escape its influence? |
47840 | In that childish game does not the one who is to secrete the article insist that the"finder"close his eyes till the object sought is carefully hidden? |
47840 | Is not this a strange honey- cup with the horn concealed under the silky flower- hood? |
47840 | Or is the adder better than the eel, Because his painted skin contents the eye? |
47840 | What amusement would be afforded the jay, or the mockingbird, should he attempt to secrete an article while you are looking? |
47840 | is the jay more precious than the lark, Because his feathers are more beautiful? |
38584 | Although difficult to investigate in their precise economy, it is extremely probable( may I not say, certain?) |
38584 | And hence we arrive at the question, is this so? |
38584 | But how, it may be asked, does this_ primary adaptation_ to external conditions affect the question of specific development? |
38584 | But how, it will be asked, can this be? |
38584 | But what do these facts indicate? |
38584 | But what does this prove, except that their capacity for advancement has a slightly wider compass than that of their allies? |
38584 | But what, it may be inquired, is this great primary truth which the monomial system tends to violate? |
38584 | But, what are the differences displayed? |
38584 | But, what would be the many results of a diminution in the level of our imaginary range? |
38584 | Can we therefore do so? |
38584 | Hence our first stipulation, that of_ sufficient time_, is satisfied; and what is the result? |
38584 | Taking the preceding considerations into account, the question will perhaps arise,--How then is a genus to be defined? |
38584 | The only questions which would then appear immediately to suggest themselves, are: Under what circumstances do they principally fluctuate? |
38584 | The question therefore arises,--Is it possible for them to_ be_ so joined? |
38584 | The question therefore naturally suggests itself,--Is this in harmony with what we see; or, in other words, is it consistent with experience, or not? |
38584 | The whole problem, in that case, does in effect resolve itself to this,--Where, and how, are the lines of demarcation to be drawn? |
38584 | and how can they be so well acknowledged, either in principle or practice, as through the medium of a binomial nomenclature? |
38584 | and why should it happen that organs which are apparently so necessary as a medium of subsistence, should be subject to inconstancy? |
38584 | obscuroguttatus_ has adopted, since its first arrival from more northern latitudes over an unbroken[38] continent? |
38584 | yet what naturalist_ now_ can draw an exact line of demarcation between them? |
14108 | Are there any scholars from above here? |
14108 | But could we not,said my facetious companion,"go it on that?" |
14108 | For riches are not forever; and doth the crown endure to every generation? 14108 I hope we have no haunted valleys to cross?" |
14108 | Is the way very difficult,we inquired,"across from the Neversink into the head of the Beaverkill?" |
14108 | Sure? |
14108 | What are blunder- heads? |
14108 | What is your teacher''s name? |
14108 | Where do you suppose he is? |
14108 | Why does he make that noise? |
14108 | And are not the rarest and most exquisite songsters wood- birds? |
14108 | And what is a bird without its song? |
14108 | But how else could he have acquired his delightful intimacy with the woods and fields and streams, and with wild life in all its moods? |
14108 | But how is this? |
14108 | But what is that black speck creeping across that cleared field near the top of the mountain at the head of the valley, three quarters of a mile away? |
14108 | Could he ever have an impure or an unwholesome wish afterward? |
14108 | Cruel? |
14108 | Do we not wait for the stranger to speak? |
14108 | Does his voice come across the valley from the spur off against us, or is it on our side down under the mountain? |
14108 | How came it in the water? |
14108 | How can a man take root and thrive without land? |
14108 | How did he know there was wheat there? |
14108 | How did he know where to dig? |
14108 | How far is it to the valley of the Neversink?" |
14108 | How shall I describe that wild, beautiful stream, with features so like those of all other mountain streams? |
14108 | How shall we see the fox if the hound drives him through this white obscurity? |
14108 | Is a deer''s track like a sheep''s or a goat''s? |
14108 | Is that the hound, or doth expectation mock the eager ear? |
14108 | Is there any proper country life in Spain, in Mexico, in the South American States? |
14108 | It seems easy to grant that environment helped make the one; but what effect, if any, did that beautiful Catskill country have on the other? |
14108 | Orville heard it also, and, raising up on his elbow, asked,"What is that?" |
14108 | The Goths and Vandals from the woods and the farms,--what would Rome do without them, after all? |
14108 | The old loom became a hen- roost in an out- building; and the crackle upon which the flax was broken,--where, oh, where is it? |
14108 | This bird is a warbler, plainly enough, from his habits and manner; but what kind of warbler? |
14108 | Was it Slide? |
14108 | We can take another slice or two of the Catskills, can we not, without being sated with kills and dividing ridges?" |
14108 | We occasionally light upon it, but who, unaided by the movements of the bird, could find it out? |

58118 | _ CHARR_( Salmo alpinus?) |
47755 | As I went upstairs I called,"Where is my Little Billee?" |
47755 | Did he steal her heart away? |
47755 | Has he truant played With a sad, coquettish brow From some simple maid? |
47755 | Have you caught him at your nest By the ones you love the best? |
47755 | If this were true, would not the earlier accounts preserve this diction for us? |
47755 | Is he some scamp full of fun That is straying near? |
47755 | What farm boy has not heard this birdless voice echoing from the ghostly shades of the thicket close at hand, or scarcely audible in the distance? |
47755 | What has Will been doing now? |
47755 | What is this? |
47755 | Who''s to whip him, dear? |
47755 | _ Heph._--"Are you trying me or are you insane? |
47755 | _ Heph._--"I am unwilling, but still I shall strike, for what must I do when you bid? |
47755 | _ Hephæstus._--"What must I do, O Zeus? |
47755 | hast thou ever stood to see The Holly tree? |
47755 | why? |
31292 | Ilk 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?" |
31292 | Are there not more births in the spring and more deaths in the fall? |
31292 | But what can not a cow''s tongue stand? |
31292 | But why bear to the left at all, if the lake was directly opposite? |
31292 | Come here, my fairy, and tell me whence you come and whither you go? |
31292 | Could they not see the spawn of the blow- flies? |
31292 | Do honey- bees injure the grape and other fruits by puncturing the skin for the juice? |
31292 | Do nettles and thistles bite so sharply in any other country? |
31292 | Does it indicate a severe winter approaching? |
31292 | From what fact or event shall one really date the beginning of spring? |
31292 | Had some accident befallen him, or had he wandered away to fresh fields, following some siren of his species? |
31292 | How comes the witch- hazel to be the one exception, and to celebrate its floral nuptials on the funeral day of its foliage? |
31292 | Is it not because a full supply of clear spring water can be counted on at that season more than at any other? |
31292 | Is there not something in our soil and climate exceptionally favorable to weeds,--something harsh, ungenial, sharp- toothed, that is akin to them? |
31292 | The grass hatches out under the snow, and why should not the grasshopper? |
31292 | Then is there anything like a perfect April morning? |
31292 | Then who would not have a garden in April? |
31292 | They sought to account for such things without stopping to ask, Are they true? |
31292 | Was he out on a lark, I said, the spring fever working in his blood? |
31292 | Was this a kind of intelligence? |
31292 | We cease to fear, perhaps, but how can one cease to marvel and to love? |
31292 | Were the poems true to their last word? |
31292 | What brings you to port here, you gossamer ship sailing the great sea? |
31292 | What crop have I sowed in Florida or in California, that I should go there to reap? |
31292 | What secret of hers has she buttoned in so securely? |
31292 | What was it? |
31292 | Where do they get it? |
31292 | Where wilt thou cow''r thy chittering wing, And close thy ee?" |
31292 | Which are our sweet- scented wild flowers? |
31292 | Why has Nature taken such particular pains to keep these balls hanging to the parent tree intact till spring? |
31292 | Why is the thrasher so stealthy? |
31292 | Will 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?" |
31292 | and the eagle flapping by, or floating along on a raft of ice, does not he bring the mountain? |
31292 | or that on windy days they carried little stones for ballast? |
31292 | or that two hostile swarms fought each other in the air? |
47801 | But what about the worms? |
47801 | How could you rob the birds of their nest? 47801 But why should the sap ascend the tree? 47801 Can we not arouse it? 47801 Could they appreciate her beauties, and did they evince an interest in her creations? 47801 Did Lincoln and Washington love nature? 47801 How can this love for animals exist in a child who has never known the joy of possessing a household pet? 47801 In whose presence an intrusive dog or cat is ever met with a blow, or angry command toget out?" |
47801 | It might be asked, what is the significance of this character as regards feeding- habits? |
47801 | To what source, then, must we look for an explanation of this process? |
47801 | Who has not heard of ginger- bread? |
47801 | You have guessed these are birds? |
45867 | But what is a prodigy of nature, except an event which happens more rarely than some others? |
45867 | But why are these definitions and general terms, which seem to be the master- piece of invention, so exceedingly defective? |
45867 | Could they be able to excite his memory by impressions sufficiently reiterated? |
45867 | Could they even modify or unfold their organs of speech? |
45867 | Does the ape imitate the human species from inclination, or from possessing an innate capacity of performing those actions without choice or exertion? |
45867 | Have we not an example of a like variety in the human species? |
45867 | Is this error the defect of human understanding? |
45867 | The long and hanging ear, which is the most general and certain mark of domestic slavery, is it not common to almost every dog? |
45867 | What comparison can be made between a statue and an organised body? |
45867 | What difference there consequently is in the result? |
45867 | Who will ever be able to tell in what the organization of an idiot differs from that of another man? |
45867 | or rather, is it not an incapacity, or pure inability, of combining, and perceiving a number of objects at one view? |
45867 | or, in other words, by a soul to direct its operations? |
13370 | 4:3)? |
13370 | All living things vary from one generation to another; the question was, Why do they vary? |
13370 | And if the latter be our answer, can we hope to settle the problem objectively and so conclusively that it will stay settled? |
13370 | And so, where is the evolution? |
13370 | And why? |
13370 | But if ye believe not his writings, how shall ye believe my words?" |
13370 | But would not this be a real Creation in the old- fashioned sense of this term? |
13370 | Do we, then, begin to understand the real composition of matter? |
13370 | Does it have component parts, in the materialistic sense; or is what we call_ matter_ only a mysterious manifestation of energy? |
13370 | For if a Being saw fit to create life at all, why should He stop with one or two bits of protoplasmic units? |
13370 | How can these primordial units of which matter is composed behave so differently, if they are really alike, mere duplicates of one another? |
13370 | How can we deal with such a large subject in a brief way? |
13370 | How can we deny that this"persistence"of these unicellular forms constitutes a very strong argument in favor of the"fixity"of these forms? |
13370 | How shall we distinguish the living from the not- living? |
13370 | How then are we better off than before without any such theory? |
13370 | How then shall we reconcile these conflicting views? |
13370 | II In view of such facts as these, what possible chance is there for a scheme of organic evolution? |
13370 | III 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? |
13370 | III Where then are we? |
13370 | In other words, would we really solve anything after all? |
13370 | It seems best to confine our attention in this chapter to an attempt to answer the question, What is a species? |
13370 | Must we not say that every possible form of the development theory is hereby ruled out of court? |
13370 | THE CELL AND THE LESSONS IT TEACHES 57 V. WHAT IS A"SPECIES"? |
13370 | This geological series is still on our hands; what are we to do with it? |
13370 | V WHAT IS A"SPECIES"? |
13370 | What essentially is involved in saying that there is no spontaneous generation of life? |
13370 | What is it to be alive? |
13370 | What is the present situation of the controversy? |
13370 | and are"species"natural groups clearly delimited by nature? |
13370 | and do these variations really represent new characters comparable to new species in the making? |
45820 | Can a stronger proof be given that the impression of their form is not unalterable? |
45820 | If the young elephant had once been used to suck with his mouth, how could he lose that habit the remainder of his life? |
45820 | If this continent is in reality as ancient as the other, why did so few men exist on it? |
45820 | If this species of the goschis ever existed, especially as described by Father Charlevoix, why have other authors never mentioned it? |
45820 | Is not modesty then a physical virtue of which animals are susceptible? |
45820 | Is not this adding fable to absurdity? |
45820 | Why change terms merely to form classes? |
45820 | Why does he constantly employ two actions, where one would be sufficient? |
45820 | Why does he never take any thing with his mouth, but what is thrown in when it is open? |
45820 | Why does he never use the mouth to take water within his reach? |
45820 | Why introduce an unintelligible jargon, when we may be understood by pronouncing a simple name? |
45820 | or if in existence, by what means has it lost all its beautiful peculiarities? |
45820 | that their nature, less permanent than that of man, may in time be varied, and even absolutely changed? |
45820 | why did the Mexicans and Peruvians, who alone had entered into society, reckon only 200 or 300 years from the first man who taught them to assemble? |
45820 | why does it no longer exist? |
45820 | why had they not reduced the lama, pacos, and other animals, by which they were surrounded, into a domestic state? |
45820 | why were the most of that few wandering savages? |
47602 | Nor the Red- eyed Vireo''s? |
47602 | So are you-- what? |
47602 | What business is it of yours? |
47602 | What is a knot, mamma? |
47602 | But mice are nuisances anyway, do n''t you think? |
47602 | I imitated Mr. Catbird very well, did n''t I?" |
47602 | I should like very much to be in a ship and see him walking on the water, would n''t you?" |
47602 | I wish Mr. Blue Jay_ would_ come over here and----""Come over here?" |
47602 | I''d like to know because? |
47602 | Listen, ca n''t you?" |
47602 | Mrs. John last year, though, had ten in one brood, did she not?" |
47602 | My nest? |
47602 | Well, I think that is reason enough, do n''t you? |
47602 | What can be the matter, I wonder?" |
47602 | What could the little creature want? |
47602 | What''s in a name anyway? |
47602 | Why may not a similar experiment be made with the Silver Pheasant? |
47602 | Would n''t a rose smell just as sweet if it were named Blue Peter, too? |

47603 | 179 CAN ANIMALS COUNT? |
47603 | And the birds, why rob them of nests or eggs? |
47603 | But does loving and wishing for things which are not ours make it right to take them? |
47603 | CAN ANIMALS COUNT? |
47603 | Can not the moral growth and the mental growth of the child develop together? |
47603 | Do n''t you think, dear children, God is very good to us to let us have such beautiful birds in the world? |
47603 | Do you see what a bright eye it has? |
47603 | Here are a few questions that give the children little pleasure and less opportunity for expression: Is n''t this a very pretty bird? |
47603 | How do I know? |
47603 | How many of you have seen a bird like this? |
47603 | How would you like to own him, and have him at your house? |
47603 | How? |
47603 | I think that was too much to ask of any Dog, do n''t you? |
47603 | If the teacher can develop the love of nature, can she not develop the sense of honor also? |
47603 | Was he indeed hearing the bird of his youth? |
47603 | Where are the flowers, the fair young flowers, that lately sprang and stood In brighter light, and softer airs, a beauteous sisterhood? |
47603 | Why should I care to flaunt My feathered beauty on a bare November bough? |
47603 | You would scarcely think to look at these lively little animals that they could be tamed and become strongly attached to their masters, would you? |
47603 | and who told me? |
28897 | Among animals of good blood, are there not always some which are superior to the rest?" |
28897 | And secondly, if they so differ, how have they become thus adapted? |
28897 | But can it be safely maintained that such changed conditions, if acting during a long series of generations, would not produce a marked effect? |
28897 | But is this the case with smaller changes? |
28897 | By what links can the Cochin fowl be closely united with others? |
28897 | Can our prize- cattle and sheep be still further improved? |
28897 | Can this parallelism be accidental? |
28897 | Did 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? |
28897 | Do you take care about breeding and pairing them? |
28897 | Does it not rather indicate some real bond of connection? |
28897 | How can we account for these facts? |
28897 | How then could these admirably co- ordinated modifications of structure have been acquired? |
28897 | How, again, can we explain to ourselves the inherited effects of the use or disuse of particular organs? |
28897 | Is it an illusion that these recently improved animals safely transmit their excellent qualities even when crossed with other breeds? |
28897 | May 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? |
28897 | Now is it possible to conceive external conditions more closely alike than those to which the buds on the same tree are exposed? |
28897 | There are two distinct questions: Do varieties descended from the same species differ in their power of living under different climates? |
28897 | They might ask whether the half- wild Arabs were led by theoretical notions to keep pedigrees of their horses? |
28897 | To 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? |
28897 | What would the floriculturist care for any change in the structure of the ovarium or of the ovules? |
28897 | Where can Flora''s Garland be found equal to those at Slough? |
28897 | Where do high- coloured flowers revel better than at Woolwich and Birmingham? |
28897 | Why have pedigrees been scrupulously kept and published of the Shorthorn cattle, and more recently of the Hereford breed? |
28897 | Will a gooseberry ever weigh more than that produced by"London"in 1852? |
28897 | Will a race- horse ever be reared fleeter than Eclipse? |
28897 | Will future varieties of wheat and other grain produce heavier crops than our present varieties? |
28897 | Will the beet- root in France yield a greater percentage of sugar? |
28897 | unicorne, pubes_(_?_), and in two other unnamed species. |
48606 | Indeed,said cousin Swift,"and what do you think of having a bill three or four times as long as any of your neighbors?" |
48606 | Well, have you decided to move? |
48606 | ''Why do yo''sing?'' |
48606 | If there were no great and universal interest at stake in this question, How much do we owe to the birds? |
48606 | Misteh Gol''Wing, why yo''drum Up yandah in de tree? |
48606 | The first question will then be, How may we secure the passage of laws such as we need? |
48606 | What, now, of the enforcement of these laws? |
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? |
16487 | Are physical and chemical forces together sufficient to explain life? |
16487 | Are the laws and forces of chemistry sufficient to explain digestion? |
16487 | Are the laws of electricity applicable to an understanding of nervous phenomena? |
16487 | Are there any forces in nature which are of a sort as to enable us to use them to explain the building of machines? |
16487 | Are there limits to the application of natural law to explain life? |
16487 | Are we any nearer to understanding how these vital processes arise? |
16487 | But have we thus reduced these fundamental phenomena to an intelligible explanation? |
16487 | But wherein does this knowledge of cells help us? |
16487 | But who can doubt that the watch, as well as the water- wheel, is governed by the law of the correlation of forces? |
16487 | Can the animal body be properly regarded as a machine controlled by mechanical laws? |
16487 | Can the motion of the body, for example, be made as intelligible as the motion of the steam engine? |
16487 | Can there be found something connected with living beings which is force but not correlated with the ordinary forms of energy? |
16487 | Can this phase of living activity be included within the conception of the body as a machine? |
16487 | Can we find a mechanical or chemical explanation of the origin of protoplasm? |
16487 | Can we, by the use of these same chemical and physical forces, explain the activities taking place in the living organism? |
16487 | Does nature, apart from human intelligence, possess forces which can achieve such results? |
16487 | Has nature any forces for machine building? |
16487 | Have we then any suggestion as to the method of the origin of this protoplasmic machine? |
16487 | How could any changes in the environment of the individual have any effect upon this dormant material stored within it? |
16487 | How were they built? |
16487 | How, then, can biology be called a new science When it is older than all the others? |
16487 | IS THE BODY A MACHINE? |
16487 | IS THE BODY A MACHINE? |
16487 | If the present is a key to the past in interpreting geological history, should not the same be true of this history of life? |
16487 | In the first place, what are these properties? |
16487 | Is 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? |
16487 | Is it possible to discover these forces and comprehend their action? |
16487 | Is the difference between what we have called the secondary processes and the primary ones only one of degree? |
16487 | Is 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? |
16487 | Is there any method by which we can approach these fundamental problems of muscle action, heart beat, gland secretion, etc.? |
16487 | Now what is the significance of all these facts for our discussion? |
16487 | Or, on the other hand, are there some phases of life which the forces of chemistry and physics can not account for? |
16487 | Shall it be the linin, or the liquids, or the microsomes, or the chromatin threads, or the centrosomes? |
16487 | The germ material is derived from the parents, and, if it is simply stored in the individual, how could an acquired variation affect it? |
16487 | What can we say in regard to these fundamental vital powers of the active tissues? |
16487 | What has been its history? |
16487 | What, then, is reproduction? |
16487 | When 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? |
16487 | Which of these is the actual physical basis of life? |
16487 | Which of these various bodies shall we continue to call protoplasm? |
16487 | Who could look upon the adaptation of the eye to light without seeing in It the result of intelligent design? |
16487 | Why should they occur in living organisms, and here alone? |
48298 | Well, then,reasoned Mrs. Flicker,"if it is not a stump,_ what is it_?" |
48298 | What do you propose to do for me_ this_ year? 48298 What does she carry?" |
48298 | What is she? |
48298 | Whoever heard of a stump, old and gray and moss- covered, appearing in one night? |
48298 | But, alas, and alas, Who will think as I pass, I was once gay and bold?" |
48298 | But,"she added coaxingly,"it really is more like a stump than a person, now is n''t it? |
48298 | How are these things related that such deep union should exist between them all? |
48298 | How many of us ever think of the so- called isinglass of our stove doors as a mineral substance? |
48298 | How much help can I rely upon from you?" |
48298 | Is it chance? |
48298 | Or, are they not all the fine branches of one trunk, whose sap flows through us all? |
48298 | P. 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? |
48298 | The cedar waxwings were also interested in the gray stump-- but afraid of it? |
48298 | The 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? |
48298 | What does he miss? |
48298 | What the wisdom from the dove? |
48540 | A waltz,I thought;"grouse waltzing; whoever heard of such a thing?" |
48540 | But where are we going? |
48540 | Where is the ruffed grouse? |
48540 | Bird wing and flower stem, Break them who would? |
48540 | Bird wing and flower stem, Make them who could? |
48540 | Can we provide any such safe retreats? |
48540 | He''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? |
48540 | I had said to my brother that I wished I could see such a wonderful jubilee, when he replied:"Can you keep a secret?" |
48540 | What are a hundred years in the history of our family who lived in England and northern Europe thousands of years ago? |
48540 | Who knows the joy a bird knows, When it goes fleetly? |
48540 | Who knows the joy a flower knows, When it blows sweetly? |
48540 | Who''s whistling so cheerfully down in the clover, When the meadows are wet with the sweet morning dew? |
48540 | You all know about the Queen''s Diamond Jubilee over in England? |
22165 | _ Waiow!_ Wha- a- ar are ye? |
22165 | And to what insect might we assume this invitation of color, fragrance, nectar, and threshold to be extended? |
22165 | And what is an orchid? |
22165 | And what is the almost certain doom of the bird- home thus contaminated by the cow- bird? |
22165 | And what is the deep- laid plan by which this end is assured? |
22165 | And what is this? |
22165 | And what_ is_ this cuckoo which has thus bewitched all the poets? |
22165 | But could he have solved the riddle of the orchid''s persistent refusal to set a pod in the conservatory? |
22165 | But have we fully examined this nest of our yellow warbler? |
22165 | Can we not trace still another faint outline of a transverse division in the fabric, about an inch below the one already separated? |
22165 | For what are they all but the divinely imposed conditions of interassociation? |
22165 | Has our warbler, then, come back to his last year''s home and fitted it up anew for this summer''s brood? |
22165 | Here is a hole evidently some inches in depth; what, then, has become of the earth removed? |
22165 | How are we to know that this blossom which we plucked is an orchid? |
22165 | How many thousands are the bird homes which are blasted in her"annual visit?" |
22165 | I have pictured my picnic, and the question naturally arises, what was it all about-- what the occasion for this celebration? |
22165 | In what respect did the one selected differ from the others? |
22165 | Indeed, did he not"know"it to the core of its physical, if not of its physiological, being? |
22165 | Is it not rather a whole covey of quail, mother and young creeping along the vine? |
22165 | Is the American species a degenerate or a progressive nest- builder? |
22165 | Shall we not discriminate in our employment of the superlative? |
22165 | The family of the heath, cranberry, pyrola, Andromeda, and mountain- laurel-- how do these blossoms welcome their insect friends? |
22165 | There on a clover blossom he sits-- sipping honey? |
22165 | Was ever thorn so deciduous? |
22165 | What could it say to me now in my more questioning mood? |
22165 | What insect has a tongue five inches long, and sufficiently slender to probe this nectary? |
22165 | What insect, then, is here implied? |
22165 | What is the personality behind that"wandering voice?" |
22165 | What is to be the ultimate outcome of it all? |
22165 | What of the throstle and the lark? |
22165 | What the distinguishing trait which has made this wily attendant on the spring notorious from the times of Aristotle and Pliny? |
22165 | What, then, are the conditions embodied? |
22165 | What, then, can be the attraction on my table? |
22165 | What, then, was the flaw in Sprengel''s work? |
22165 | Where under trees and sky shall you find it? |
22165 | Who shall claim to_ know_ his orchid who knows not its insect sponsor? |
22165 | Why this peculiar formation of the long curved arm pivoted on its stalk? |
22165 | Why, then, this remarkable divergence? |
22165 | Why? |
22165 | Why? |
22165 | [ Illustration] Now what is the object of this frothy pavilion? |
22165 | [ Illustration][ Illustration] Who can tell what the future may develop in the nests of other birds whose homes are similarly invaded? |
48085 | How long has that picture been hanging there? |
48085 | And again, why are the wolves of different countries unlike, and which species of wolf is the true and only one? |
48085 | And what do we love more than tone and color, music and pictures? |
48085 | Did you ever place a large shell to your ear and listen to its roar? |
48085 | Leaves whirl, white flakes about me blow-- Are they spring blossoms or the snow? |
48085 | Mr. Aima B. Morton puts it in this way: Why do children like colored pictures to abstraction? |
48085 | Or is it that its white breast, thickly spotted with dusky, resembles the thrush''s? |
48085 | Plover, thou lover Of moorlands Drained by the surfing sea-- Lover of marshy tourlands, What is the world to thee? |
48085 | Possibly the brave little housekeeper divined the situation; or did she presume upon a previous acquaintance with the friendly farmer? |
48085 | The old farmer interprets their colloquy thus:--"Bob White, Bob White, Pease ripe, pease ripe?" |
48085 | There 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? |
48085 | There 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? |
48085 | What chance have boys and girls with a dead- alive teacher in a school- house whose blank walls are eloquent of poverty? |
48085 | Where are you?_"and a sort of duet between male and female at nesting time. |
48085 | Who does not love the beauty of shells? |
48085 | Who, when visiting the sea- shore, has not sought them with eagerness? |
48085 | Why not everywhere also upon schoolroom walls bare of these choice educational influences? |
48085 | but this order, too, goes unheeded, as our Will has no widow, and if he had why should we chuck her? |
48331 | Is the tenement you speak of in a stump, fence hole, or tree cavity? |
48331 | What do they eat? |
48331 | What''s that? |
48331 | A monument to Washington? |
48331 | A tablet graven with his name? |
48331 | Could it be Mr. Bluebird, I questioned as I hastened to the window opera- glass in hand? |
48331 | How many of the boys and girls who read BIRDS AND ALL NATURE ever saw a baby heron? |
48331 | Is it not a little strange Once in four years you should change, That the sun should shine and give You another day to live? |
48331 | Now, is n''t that a little baby? |
48331 | Shall I tell you about his dress? |
48331 | She was cold and distant, whether from maidenly coyness or a laudable desire to check his too confident, proprietorship sort of air, who can say? |
48331 | The two understood each other at once, and why should they not? |
48331 | Was n''t that a fine breakfast? |
48331 | Why do you go by so fast? |
48331 | said Mr. Mole Cricket from under his horny skin,"What do you think of that?" |
48141 | A kindergarten,echoed Jim,"what''s that?" |
48141 | Have you heard that Mr. Grizzle Prairie Dog has been found? |
48141 | Have you told Mrs. Grizzle the sad news? |
48141 | No, where? |
48141 | O, where have you been all night, Wish- ton- wish? |
48141 | Where can my birdie be? |
48141 | Where can she be? |
48141 | Where do you suppose we are? |
48141 | A good husband? |
48141 | All one family? |
48141 | Are there to be no more of them?" |
48141 | Do n''t you think so, too? |
48141 | For are they not a symbol of our own death and resurrection when we shall awake in His glorious likeness?" |
48141 | Presently he called out again and this time with greater tact:"How are your charming daughters this morning?" |
48141 | Since the different teas are all from the same species of plant why should there be such a difference in price? |
48141 | Sorry? |
48141 | What should I do? |
48141 | Would n''t the little readers of BIRDS AND ALL NATURE enjoy a talk with a mother- bird? |
48141 | Yet still there must be Some sweet mission for me, For have I not warmed you and cheered you to- night?" |

16442 | Are we not too busy with the ordering of our immediate affairs to concern ourselves with such remote matters? |
16442 | Are we to forget all of these things when we try to put in order our ideas belonging to the categories of higher thought? |
16442 | Birds, 44; have they descended from gill- breathing ancestors? |
16442 | But are the difficulties insuperable? |
16442 | But is this conception really justified by the facts of animal structure and physiology? |
16442 | But why does this view seem justified? |
16442 | Can we hope to find the truth if we fail to employ the methods of scientific common- sense which only yield sure results? |
16442 | Can we look upon the living thing as a mechanism in the proper sense of the word? |
16442 | Can we reasonably regard these resemblances as indications of anything else but a community of ancestry of the forms that exhibit them? |
16442 | Do the rules of nature''s order control the lives of men? |
16442 | Does any one of us do all of these things for himself? |
16442 | Does palæontology throw any light on the antiquity of man? |
16442 | Does this mean that even birds have descended from gill- breathing ancestors? |
16442 | Does this mean that man and all the other higher forms have evolved from protozoa in the course of long ages? |
16442 | Does this mean that the essential process of what we call life is a chemical one? |
16442 | How are we to regard the material things of the earth? |
16442 | How can we be independent of the environment when we are interlocked in so many ways with inorganic nature? |
16442 | How does the human body develop? |
16442 | How does the matter stand when the general structural plan of a human being is examined? |
16442 | In brief, is life physics and chemistry? |
16442 | Is it entirely different from everything else? |
16442 | Is the human species a unique kind of vertebrate, or does it find a place in one of these classes? |
16442 | Life, what is it? |
16442 | Organisms, living, 14; analysis of, 16; 17, 18, 19, 26, 28, 29, 31, 32; characteristic early stages, 55; are they adapted by circumstances? |
16442 | Science, what is it? |
16442 | These facts being as they are, what must we do? |
16442 | Unless the coccyx is a tail, what can it be? |

48579 | Big one said,"Why do n''t you take their picture?" |

48579 | But how was she to get that big body across a crack that could swallow them both? |

48388 | A brief bird life-- is this its end? |
48388 | ANTS.--Would you like to get a clean skeleton of any small animal? |
48388 | Do we care What the feathers women wear Cost the world? |
48388 | Does it matter? |
48388 | Have you ever thought how sad a tree must feel when it is transplanted from the forest to the city or town? |
48388 | Is the love of a bonnet supreme over all, In a lady so faultlessly fair? |
48388 | May they never, never fly Safely through their native air? |
48388 | Must all birds die? |
48388 | Ought not one to consider, and carefully study the tree, as a whole, before venturing to remove any of its branches? |

36844 | Are you not content to see what you see, hear what you hear, and kill nothing but time? |
36844 | Are you not glad they are going as safely as their uncaught shadows that sweep swiftly across the shadowy meshes of the forest floor? |
36844 | Are 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? |
36844 | At 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? |
36844 | But what is that? |
36844 | But why not let the poor fellow go? |
36844 | Did 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? |
36844 | For what he preserves for us of the almost extinct wildness, shall we begrudge him the meagre compensation of an occasional turkey? |
36844 | Has he, like many of his biggers and betters, gone a- wooing in winter nights? |
36844 | Have not you, too, wrought havoc among harmless broods and brought sorrow to feathered mothers and woodland homes? |
36844 | How long ago did death''s inevitable dart pierce his heart? |
36844 | How many of those merry voices are stilled forever, from how many of those happy faces has the light of life faded? |
36844 | How many of you will ever meet again? |
36844 | If jacking deer is right, how can jacking fish be wrong? |
36844 | Is he worse than you, or are you better than he? |
36844 | It 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? |
36844 | Or is it an inward fire and no outward warmth that has thawed him into this sudden activity? |
36844 | Shall he beguile the tediousness of a wet day in camp with books and papers? |
36844 | Was there ever such a shot? |
36844 | What can be sweeter than the wholesome fragrance of the fallen leaves? |
36844 | What 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? |
36844 | What is their right to this stream, these woods, compared with mine? |
36844 | What to the usurpers of our rights are these woods and waters but a place for the killing of game and fish? |
36844 | Who 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? |
36844 | Who knows what was their method of tapping? |
36844 | Who lighted this camp- fire? |
36844 | Why should sportsmen be less provident of the stock they prize so dearly; stock that has so few care- takers, so many enemies? |
36844 | With such a home and such bountiful provision for his larder close at hand, what more could the heart and stomach of mink desire? |
36844 | Would that all the world were here to see, for who can believe it just for the telling? |
36844 | Yet who shall say that you had a better right to the partridges than he to the eggs? |
36844 | or if jacking fish be wrong, how can jacking deer be right? |
6710 | But how can we reconcile this view with the known facts of evolution? |
6710 | This probably occurred in the Platode ancestors of most( or all?) |
6710 | What can we deduce from this with regard to our own genealogy? |
48030 | Do n''t you think the worms are as fond of their life as you are of yours? |
48030 | No luck, my boy? |
48030 | Not hungry to- day, eh? |

48030 | Does a man bare his head in some old church? |
48030 | How and when did I myself acquire my love for her? |
48030 | How many of us can define the phrase"collecting for scientific purposes,"which, like liberty, is the excuse for many crimes? |
48030 | How shall we instil this love into them? |
48030 | In 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?" |
48030 | Is it any wonder that so few ever go on with this geology, mineralogy, botany, or zoölogy, after they leave school? |
48030 | Is there any other place, except the seaside, where hours are so short and moments so swift as in the forest? |
48030 | What had she in those dreary hours, Within her ice- rimmed bay, In common with the wild- wood flowers, The first sweet smiles of May? |
48030 | What is our object as teachers? |
48030 | What was I in its presence but a grasshopper? |
48030 | Where in the world are we to stow away all these creatures on one little town lot? |
44194 | But, 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?" |
44194 | Is 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?" |
44194 | What is the good? |
44194 | And as he protested, he added,"You remember your promise? |
44194 | And what road should we take when we left it? |
44194 | Avdotia Maximovna would then rush to soothe him and soundly rate the servant girl,"Are you not ashamed to leave a noble child all alone?" |
44194 | But did I ever tell you that they had the same for me? |
44194 | But directly after he was gone Elie turned to me with an anxious look and said,"Well, what do you think of my idea?" |
44194 | But how is the fear of death to be explained, since it is a general and inevitable phenomenon? |
44194 | But why had he given his words that jesting form which must have misled M. Roux? |
44194 | Could it have been otherwise? |
44194 | Elie said to him:"Salimbeni, you are a friend; tell me, is it the end?" |
44194 | He said to himself:"Why live? |
44194 | How can I describe those last three days? |
44194 | How could life be possible there? |
44194 | How could that unforeseen result be explained? |
44194 | How is it that we have no_ natural instinct_ for death? |
44194 | How long should we remain? |
44194 | How many times have I not availed myself of it? |
44194 | If I really am reasonable, why fear a blind impulse? |
44194 | Is this a life? |
44194 | More even than your science, your kindliness attracts; who amongst us has not experienced it? |
44194 | My heart breaking, I asked him why he said that; was he feeling very weak? |
44194 | My private life is ended; my eyes are going; when I am blind I can no longer work, then why live?" |
44194 | She has faults which must seem graver to me than to you, but what is to be done? |
44194 | The lively Emilia Lvovna often said to him,"But why do you never talk, Mitienka?" |
44194 | We were already very good friends, and have now drawn nearer together; who knows? |
44194 | What is it that provokes it? |
44194 | What is the good of making me last? |
44194 | What is to be done to avoid it? |
44194 | What was happening? |
44194 | What, then, is the mechanism of phagocytic digestion? |
44194 | When his condition grew worse and he felt no hope whatever of his recovery, he often used to say,"What is to be done? |
44194 | You will do my post- mortem? |
44194 | You will hold my hand, will you not?" |
44194 | after a terrible night, saying to me afterwards in explanation,"Why grieve them, since it can not be helped?" |
44194 | or suffering very much? |

26438 | ( 4) If use- inheritance has tamed the rabbit, why are the bucks still so mischievous and unruly? |
26438 | And 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? |
26438 | Are we to suppose that the effect of the_ adult_ practice of parents was inherited at this early age? |
26438 | Are 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? |
26438 | But as artificial selection has lengthened the wings in some instances, why may it not have shortened them in others? |
26438 | But could we rely upon the aid of use- inheritance if it really were a universal law and not a mere simulation of one? |
26438 | Does individual improvement transmit itself to descendants independently of personal teaching and example? |
26438 | Does it only transfer the newly- acquired weakness, and not the previous long- continued vigour? |
26438 | How could the transmission of these varied effects to offspring be accounted for? |
26438 | How is it that the subsequent inheritance of these effects has not been more satisfactorily observed and investigated? |
26438 | How then can we rely upon use- inheritance for the improvement of the race? |
26438 | If disuse has shortened them, as Darwin supposes, why has it also thickened them? |
26438 | If injuries are inherited, why has the repeated rupture of the hymen produced no inherited effect? |
26438 | If use- inheritance was not necessary in the case of Handel, whose father was a surgeon, why is it needed to account for Bach? |
26438 | Is it not a significant fact that the alleged instances of use- inheritance so often prove to be self- conflicting in their details? |
26438 | Is it not probable that permanent domestication was rendered possible by the inevitable selection of spontaneous variations in this direction? |
26438 | Is use- inheritance, then, only effective for evil? |
26438 | Under these circumstances how can we be sure of the actual efficacy of use- inheritance? |

26438 | Where is the necessity for even the remains of the Lamarckian doctrine of inherited habit? |
26438 | Which effect of use does use- inheritance transmit in such cases-- the increased rate of growth, or the dilapidation of the worn- out parts? |
26438 | Why are not the effects of this disuse inherited by the labourer''s infant? |
26438 | Why is the Angora breed the only one in which the males show no desire to destroy the young? |
26438 | Why is there not simultaneous variation in teeth and jaws, if disuse is the governing factor? |
26438 | Why should it be thought incapable of reducing a pigeon''s wing or enlarging a duck''s leg? |
26438 | Why should the non- transmission of that which was not transmitted be surprising? |
26438 | Why then may not the ungainly hind- legs have been shortened by human preference independently of the inherited effects of disuse? |

48503 | Are there rights of any other sort in the world? |
48503 | Did the rivers make the valleys or did the valleys make the rivers? |
48503 | Did 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? |
48503 | Do 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? |
48503 | Has the bird a right to live? |
48503 | How does the value of the bird''s body used for food compare with the good the bird would do if allowed to live? |
48503 | How have the various types of bird life come into existence? |
48503 | Sharp little twitters near by us we heard; Where was the haunt of the dear little bird? |
48503 | So, what do you suppose she did? |
48503 | We might properly discuss the question, What do we owe to the birds? |
48503 | What do we mean by a"natural right?" |
48503 | What kind of food does the camel like best, anyhow? |
48503 | What shall we say about the bird''s right to liberty? |

36949 | Are they endeavouring to drive her away that she may not lay her egg in either of their nests? |
36949 | Are you afraid? |
36949 | But how did it get into the mind of an illiterate old woman in an out- of- the- way village? |
36949 | But where does it go? |
36949 | Could any system of notation ever express the number of these creatures that have existed in the past? |
36949 | Do they, then, intermarry year after year? |
36949 | Does the May bloom, which is almost proverbial for its sweetness, occasionally turn sour, as it were, before a thunderstorm? |

36949 | Is not` velt''a Northern word for field?) |
36949 | Is this adopted for ease? |
36949 | On the other hand, the doctrine of heredity hardly explains the facts, because how few birds''ancestors can have had experience in cuckoo- rearing? |
36949 | Or what do you say to the meadow by the brook? |
36949 | Several such paths debouch here-- which is the right one to follow? |
36949 | Still irresolute? |
36949 | Surely infallible instinct could have carried them across the space of three inches without any trouble of investigation? |
36949 | Was it not because an old and acquired habit was suddenly uprooted? |
36949 | Was there any kind of feeling that this particular wagtail was more likely to take care of the offspring than others? |
36949 | What is more pleasant than the jingling of the tiny bells on the harness of the cart- horses? |
36949 | What would be the result if this Watling- street of the ants were interrupted? |
36949 | Where had all these birds gone to? |
36949 | Where, then, are they in winter, if the flocks of chaffinches at that period consist almost exclusively of female birds? |
36949 | Who can stay indoors when the goldfinches are busy among the bloom on the apple trees? |
36949 | Why do not blackbirds, and thrushes, go in flocks? |
36949 | Why do they make an aperture so many times larger than they can possibly require? |
36949 | Why is it that they never seem to learn wisdom in placing their nests? |
36949 | Why not go forth to the west, or to the south, where there are hills and meadows and streams in equal number? |

36949 | Why, to go still further, do rooks manoeuvre in such immense numbers, and crows fly only in pairs? |
36949 | Will you or will you not? |

36949 | what is that clattering? |
47951 | Ah, is that you, Mr. Britisher? 47951 Build our nest?" |

47951 | He, too, dresses up for courting; and how do you think he does it? |
47951 | I answered,"is that thy only meditation? |
47951 | I approached the woman, and, saluting her with reverence, said:"O mother of us all, on what dost thou meditate? |
47951 | In one place he asks:"What is the earliest sign of spring? |

47951 | She is not in a hurry to leave her poor mamma, is she?" |
47951 | The flow of sap in trees and the swelling of buds? |
47951 | The motions of worms and insects? |

47951 | When, if ever, do our closet naturalists inspect these lovely objects in their elevated cradle? |
47951 | Who was it that promised me that if I would marry him I should not have a care in the world?" |

42591 | Did the anemones shut their doors or open them wider in view of a feast? |
42591 | Does not the bayberry revive and exhilarate the walker, as smelling- salts restore fainting women? |

42591 | Has not the wind whispered daily to it as its silken sail was spread? |
42591 | Here he sat, regarding me in a gentle friendly way and talking to himself in an undertone-- or was he talking to me? |
42591 | How can the impoverished dust of the roadside sustain these burdocks with their incredible leaves? |
42591 | How is it the ancients did not metamorphose the fairest of all nymphs into this tree, so distinctly feminine is its beauty? |
42591 | Is there anywhere a more audacious beauty than the pokeweed in autumn? |
42591 | One can be alone on the mountains and find them friendly, but who would choose to be alone in mid- ocean? |
42591 | Perhaps the birds have not what we call_ feeling_, but if not, why do they express themselves? |
42591 | So 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? |
42591 | Tell me, is there not something heroic in the life of the queen bumblebee? |
42591 | The twinkling dance of the innocent waves-- who can recall the tragedies now? |
42591 | Was this a second exodus or had the move to the walk been merely an expedient until they should find a more suitable place? |

42591 | What, then, becomes of all the young? |
42591 | Whence has the bluebird his power, that by the mere_ quality_ of tone he can exert this spell? |
42591 | Where do the birds go in August? |
42591 | Where is the ancient sea which mothered the Rockies? |
42591 | Who can doubt they have some pleasure in this preparation, that they have bird- plans and bird- hopes? |
42591 | Who can hear the wild song of the ouzel and not feel an answering thrill? |
42591 | Who can recall those impressions of the sea which were his as a child-- a relish, a vividness, perhaps never experienced in after life? |
42591 | Who would guess the treasure within these grotesque pods with their long beaks, their spines and wrinkles? |
42591 | Who would imagine now that the swamp was capable of producing anything so exquisite, that it held beneath the ice the seeds of such beauty? |
42591 | Why are not roses weeds as they stand all forlorn before this voluptuous child of the people? |
42591 | Why not tolerate an occasional fox if only to hear him yap, and to have the assurance that there is still this much untamed? |
42591 | Why should not a rabbit gossip with a woodchuck, for instance? |
42591 | Why should not the gods have dwelt on Olympus-- and here in the Rockies as well? |

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

43396 | Without Bacon, Locke, Newton, and Stuart Mill, what were modern England? |
45731 | Are not liberty, health, and strength, preferable to effeminacy, sensuality, and voluptuousness, accompanied with slavery? |
45731 | But how can they guard against beings who can seize without seeing, and can destroy without approaching them? |
45731 | But what, in this case, is the use and functions of this very noble and principal part of the body? |
45731 | But, instead of discussing, let us advert to facts: Is the savage inhabitant of the desart a tranquil animal? |
45731 | Can the loss of our savage nature merit regret? |
45731 | Can virtue have subsisted before society? |
45731 | Did this state of ideal innocence, of perfect temperance, of entire abstinence from flesh, of profound peace and tranquillity ever exist? |
45731 | Does not every action cease? |
45731 | Have those animals which we call_ savage_, because they are not subjected to our will, need of aught more to make them happy? |
45731 | How many are there whose existence is, as it were, anticipated? |
45731 | How many flowers are cut down in the spring? |
45731 | How many seeds are annihilated before their development? |
45731 | If prodigious numbers of them were not destroyed, what would be the effects of their prodigious multiplication? |
45731 | If this part is not the principal of motion, why is it so essentially necessary to it? |
45731 | In fact, can it be doubted that those animals, whose organization is similar to ours, must experience similar sensations? |
45731 | In this respect how great is the difference between the civilized man and the savage? |
45731 | In what manner can those men be better employed who, from their situations, are constantly fatigued with company, than in hunting? |
45731 | Is he a happy man? |
45731 | Is it not a fable in which man, like an animal, has been employed to convey moral lessons? |
45731 | Is not the brain to be found in every animal? |
45731 | When compressed, is not all motion suspended? |
45731 | Who can say, if the human species were annihilated, to which of the animals would the sceptre of the earth belong? |
45731 | Why is it proportioned, in every species of animals, to the quantity of sentiment with which they are endowed? |
45731 | Would it be sufficient to recompense the waste by perspiration? |
45731 | and those who are defective in any organ of sense, must they not also be defective in all the sensations which have any affinity thereto? |
45731 | or can man, in a wild state, be considered as a more worthy being than the civilized citizen? |
45731 | what exercise can be more beneficial to the body? |
45731 | what relaxation more agreeable to the mind? |
44582 | Apart from interferences of this class, are there any that may be reasonably invoked as modifying the course of inheritance? |
44582 | Are we not then on safer ground in regarding the fixity of our species as a property inherent in its own nature and constitution? |
44582 | As the collector passes from the plains to the Alpine region, how will he find the transition from one form to the other effected? |
44582 | But is that what we do find? |
44582 | But whence come the new dominants? |
44582 | But will such analysis cover all or even most of the ordinary cases of specific diversity between near allies? |
44582 | First came the broad question, were the facts of distribution consistent with the Doctrine of Descent? |
44582 | First how did the form under consideration come into existence, and secondly, how did it succeed in maintaining itself so as to become a race? |
44582 | How do they become integral parts of the organism? |
44582 | How is it possible to reconcile these facts with the view that specific distinction has no natural basis apart from environmental exigency? |
44582 | How then does it happen that the body of one of a pair of twins does not show a transposition of viscera? |
44582 | If so, may we again make the same supposition in all similar cases? |
44582 | In its most concrete form this problem is expressed in the question, how does a cell divide? |
44582 | Is it itself a plant of hybrid origin? |
44582 | Is it not time to abandon these fanciful expectations which are never realised? |
44582 | May we suppose that some extinct wild species had them? |
44582 | The first question is what is_ Oenothera Lamarckiana_? |
44582 | The problem would remain, how is the distinctness of the two types maintained in the region of overlapping? |
44582 | To do so is little gain, for we are left with the further problem, whence did those lost wild species acquire those dominants? |
44582 | What is a living thing? |
44582 | What more natural than to suppose that the permanent adaptations have been achieved by inherited summation of such responses? |
44582 | What then are the factors themselves? |
44582 | Whence came all these? |
44582 | Whence do they come? |
44582 | Whence, for example, came the power which is present in a White Leghorn of destroying-- probably reducing-- the pigment in its feathers? |
10513 | Are those little eyes of much use in helping the creature to find its dinner? |
10513 | But what are those little moving things which bend this way and that, as if feeling for something? |
10513 | But what does it do in the sea? |
10513 | Can it turn over and crawl away? |
10513 | Can you guess why some sea- weeds are green and others red? |
10513 | Crustaceans have a funny way of growing, have they not? |
10513 | Evidently 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? |
10513 | Has it a mouth? |
10513 | Have you ever caught a glimpse of the animal living inside? |
10513 | Have you ever opened an Oyster? |
10513 | Have you ever watched him there? |
10513 | Have you ever watched them in a glass tank, or aquarium? |
10513 | Have you noticed how the Mussel anchors himself? |
10513 | How are Lobsters caught? |
10513 | How can it live without a head? |
10513 | How can you tell a live Shrimp from a live Prawn? |
10513 | How do the Starfish and Sea- urchin keep themselves clean? |
10513 | How do you know which is the Black- headed Gull in the summer months? |
10513 | How does it move without legs or fins? |

10513 | How does the Starfish feed on the oyster? |
10513 | How does the Whelk obtain its food? |
10513 | How is the sand formed? |
10513 | If the Mussel is such a stay- at- home, how does he find his food? |
10513 | If you were asked to open an oyster you would need tools, would you not? |
10513 | In what way are sea plants most useful? |
10513 | In what way are the grasses growing on the sand so useful? |
10513 | In what way does the Anemone catch the small animals on which it feeds? |
10513 | In what way might the Anemone be of use to its partner, the hermit crab? |
10513 | Of what use are Shore Crabs? |
10513 | Of what use are Shrimps and Prawns in the sea? |
10513 | Of what use are these strange little pincers or rods? |
10513 | Of what use is the"beard"of the Oyster? |
10513 | Prawns and shore- crabs are not easily seen; why is this? |
10513 | Some are Shrimps, and some are Prawns; how can we tell the difference? |
10513 | The puzzle is, how do they live among so many enemies? |
10513 | Then how do these little creatures grow? |
10513 | This is a strange habit, is it not? |
10513 | Were we not right to call this wonderful mouth the mouth of an ogre? |
10513 | What are those thin ropes of sand coiled up into little mounds? |
10513 | What does it eat, and how does it find food? |
10513 | What does it eat, and how does it find its food? |

10513 | Where do these animals hide? |
10513 | Where is the mouth of the Anemone? |
10513 | Where is the mouth of the Jelly- fish placed? |
10513 | Where is the mouth of the Starfish placed? |
10513 | Where would you look for the Stone- crop and Penny- wort? |
10513 | Where would you look for the eggs of the Ringed Plover and of the Black- headed Gull? |
10513 | Who would expect to find millions of poisoned darts in a Jelly- fish? |
10513 | Who would guess that these weapons are coiled up, ready to spring out at their prey? |
10513 | Why can not Sea- weed grow in very deep water? |
10513 | Why do plants which grow in sand have such long roots? |
10513 | Why do these two plants have such thin roots? |
10513 | Why does it hide away at that time? |
10513 | Why does the Crab have to change its shell? |
10513 | Why have marsh birds such long beaks? |
10513 | Why is it difficult to see the Ringed Plover on the stones of the shore? |
10513 | Why is the Oyster called a bi- valve? |
10513 | Why is the Oyster sometimes unfit for use as food? |
10513 | Why is the_ Brittle_ Star given that name? |
10513 | Why is this? |
48106 | But,I persisted,"you may not be alive to- morrow, and I only desire to know why you roosters invariably crow at midnight?" |
48106 | Crow? |
48106 | Did n''t I play that trick cleverly? |
48106 | First, I should like to know-- why, do you intend to come out? |
48106 | Get out of here,screamed the young Shanghai, whom the handsome hen admired,"How dare you come over in my yard?" |
48106 | Have n''t you,I asked, to hide my mirth,"a preference for some of your wives over others?" |
48106 | How many wives have you? |
48106 | Interview me? |
48106 | Is 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?" |
48106 | Now? |
48106 | Trick? |
48106 | Trouble-- how? |
48106 | What business is it of yours what the intentions of this intrusive person may be? 48106 What was that?" |
48106 | Why, how else, I''d like to know, could I have been torn up so? 48106 Will you be quiet, you cackling old hens?" |
48106 | About what do you want to interview me?" |
48106 | But are we so certain about that? |
48106 | But where and how are these three kinds of raw material manufactured into plant food? |
48106 | Does he bathe evermore in the miracle springs, That his wings and his heart are in rhythm when he sings? |
48106 | Does the thrush drink wild honey? |
48106 | How does he find where the young grubs grow-- I''d like to know? |
48106 | How does he know what kind of a limb To use for a drum, or to burrow in? |
48106 | How does he know where to dig his hole, The woodpecker there, on the elm tree bole? |
48106 | How should people brought up in cities know anything of the sacred lives of birds? |
48106 | Of the two evils which confronted me, or rather the baby, which would prove the less? |
48106 | So you intend to turn me out on the cold, cold world some day, do you? |
48106 | Those who have a continual grudge against the English sparrow will say,"Why all this fuss over a miserable little nuisance of a sparrow?" |
48106 | What do females know about war, anyway, especially hens? |
48106 | a nectar distilled From the flowers of the field, that his message is filled With such sweetness? |
7020 | ''Do you perhaps mean,''I asked,''that the fish has symmetrical sides with paired organs?'' |
7020 | ''When do you wish to begin?'' |
7020 | And is not this intellectual and spiritual connection with the Almighty worthy of our deepest consideration? |
7020 | And what are thoughts but specific acts of the mind? |
7020 | At length, on the seventh day, came the question,''Well?'' |
7020 | But who is the truly humble? |
7020 | Have those who object to repeated acts of creation ever considered that no progress can be made in knowledge without repeated acts of thinking? |
7020 | He who, penetrating into the secrets of creation, arranges them under a formula, which he proudly calls his scientific system? |
7020 | The afternoon passed quickly; and when, toward its close, the Professor inquired:''Do you see it yet?'' |
7020 | To my inquiry,''What shall I do?'' |
7020 | What of it, if it were true? |
7020 | With these encouraging words, he added:''Well, what is it like?'' |
7020 | Would our great artists have succeeded equally well in Greek or calculus? |
48523 | Are you the best singer among birds? |
48523 | Are you the most graceful and highest flyer among birds? 48523 Are you the most graceful and the highest flyer among birds?" |
48523 | But, my dear,said the snowdrop,"ca n''t you see That summer can do very well without me? |
48523 | Do you know,she said, solemnly,"what kind of a tree this is in which we have put our nest?" |
48523 | Our enemy, the Boa, also hath an eye with a cold stare; is he therefore also a metamorphosed Koko? 48523 Well, and what of that?" |
48523 | What about? |
48523 | What is it, my love; what is it? |
48523 | 71 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? |
48523 | Are the returned warmth and the green vegetation all that make the summer months more pleasant than the winter season? |
48523 | Are you still the best vocalist among birds? |
48523 | Can you imagine a world without birds? |
48523 | He says:"Have you heard the song of the Field- Sparrow? |
48523 | How can you tell the age of a fish? |
48523 | How shall we go to work? |
48523 | If the birds take a little for themselves have they not earned it? |
48523 | In a measured and stentorian voice the king asked the following questions of the culprit:"Are you the handsomest of birds?" |
48523 | In studying any flower there are three questions that should be asked:( 1) How does it hinder self- pollination? |
48523 | The eagle once more turned to the Koko- bird and in a terrible voice demanded:"Are you still the handsomest among birds? |
48523 | The 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? |
48523 | WHAT DO WE OWE THE BIRDS? |
48523 | What is this?" |
48523 | What right have they any more than you, To live in the summer when skies are blue And bright with sunshine the whole long day? |
48523 | What shall we do?" |
48523 | Who knows? |
48523 | Why kill these birds that are so useful to us and so beautify nature? |
48523 | what may not happen next?" |
880 | Did the wind back round, or go about with the sun? |
880 | Do_ 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? |
880 | As 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? |
880 | But what would you have? |
880 | By what right of primogeniture? |
880 | Can I sign his death- warrant who has tolerated me about his grounds so long? |
880 | Can such an open bosom cover such depravity? |
880 | Could I tax them with want of taste? |
880 | How do they settle their claim to the homestead? |
880 | Or did the nearness of a human dwelling perhaps give the birds a greater feeling of security? |
880 | Would the same thing have happened in the woods? |
22428 | 201- 210 How Instinct may be best Studied Definition of Instinct Does Man possess Instincts? |
22428 | 211- 230 Instinct or Reason in the Construction of Birds''Nests Do Men build by Reason or by Imitation? |
22428 | And what do most of us do at the present day but imitate the buildings of those that have gone before us? |
22428 | Are not improved Steam Engines or Clocks the lineal descendants of some existing Steam Engine or Clock? |
22428 | But do these figures at all approximately represent the relative intellect of the three groups? |
22428 | But what proof is given or suggested that this was the mode by which the adjustment took place? |
22428 | Do Birds sing by Instinct or by Imitation? |
22428 | Do they fall in with any other groups of natural phenomena? |
22428 | Do they not teach us something of the system of Nature? |
22428 | Does Nature descend to imposture or masquerade? |
22428 | For are not all inventions of the same kind directly affiliated to a common ancestor? |
22428 | How did such an extraordinary organ come to be developed? |
22428 | How did this arise? |
22428 | How do young Birds learn to build their first Nest? |
22428 | How else, in fact, should they make it? |
22428 | How 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? |
22428 | How, then, could they inlay, or weave, or twist the materials of a nest? |
22428 | If any modifications of structure could be the result of law, why not all? |
22428 | If any varieties of colour, why not all the varieties we see? |
22428 | If some self- adaptations could arise, why not others? |
22428 | Is not the_ à priori_ evidence in favour of an identity of the causes that have produced such similar results? |
22428 | Is the savage really no farther removed from the philosopher, and so much removed from the ape, as these figures would indicate? |
22428 | Is there ever a new Creation in Art or Science any more than in Nature? |
22428 | Now, if the Creator''s mind is like ours, whence this ugliness? |
22428 | The question forces itself upon every thinking mind,--why are these things so? |
22428 | To every thoughtful naturalist the question must arise, What are these for? |
22428 | Was this single island selected for a fantastic display of creative power, merely to excite a childlike and unreasoning admiration? |
22428 | What have the houses of most savage tribes improved from, each as invariable as the nest of a species of bird? |
22428 | What have they to do with the great laws of creation? |
22428 | What is the meaning of this strange travestie? |
22428 | What is there in the life of the savage, but the satisfying of the cravings of appetite in the simplest and easiest way? |
22428 | What thoughts, ideas, or actions are there, that raise him many grades above the elephant or the ape? |
22428 | What 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? |
22428 | What, I would ask, are we to do with phenomena such as these? |
22428 | What, then, can he use but mud? |
22428 | Why are the Macaws and the Cockatoos similarly restricted? |
22428 | Why are the closely allied species of brown- backed Trogons all found in the East, and the green- backed in the West? |
22428 | Why are the genera of Palms and of Orchids in almost every case confined to one hemisphere? |
22428 | Why does each Bird build a peculiar kind of Nest? |
22428 | Why is this bird so extraordinarily abundant, while others producing two or three times as many young are much less plentiful? |
22428 | Why, as a general rule, are aquatic, and especially sea birds, very numerous in individuals? |
22428 | Wild cats are prolific and have few enemies; why then are they never as abundant as rabbits? |
22428 | Would 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. |
45729 | Are they distinct and separate parts? |
45729 | Are they merely wrinkles of the vagina? |
45729 | But in what manner is this important sense developed? |
45729 | But why quote barbarous nations, when we have similar examples so much nearer home? |
45729 | Can the pain he suffers last longer than a moment? |
45729 | Do they belong to the membrane of the hymen? |
45729 | Even in attempting thus to trace them, is there not presumption? |
45729 | From what cause should such pain arise? |
45729 | Has 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? |
45729 | Have we not forgot every thing that passed during the cloud of infancy? |
45729 | How many cease to be men, or who at least cease to enjoy the faculty of manhood, before the age of thirty? |
45729 | How shall we trace our thoughts back to their origin? |
45729 | How then can such vigilance, such care, be expected from a mercenary groveling nurse? |
45729 | How various are the dispositions, manners, and opinions of different nations? |
45729 | In what manner are our first ideas attained? |
45729 | Is 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? |
45729 | Is their number certain? |
45729 | Is there only one, or are there many, in the state of virginity? |
45729 | Might it not be in some measure as follows? |
45729 | Of a man thus circumstanced what would be the first emotions, the first sensations, the first opinions? |
45729 | Shall a man have more genius because he has a better- shaped nose? |
45729 | Shall he have less wisdom because his eyes are little, and his mouth is large? |
45729 | Shall we fix its residence in the soul, or in the body? |
45729 | Should it be asked why females in every climate are capable of engendering more early than men? |
45729 | Should it be asked, why, in the early ages, men lived to 900, 930, and even 960 years? |
45729 | The skin is a substance similar to that of the prepuce; but what relation, in point of growth, can subsist between two so distant parts? |
45729 | Were he himself to give us a detail of his conceptions at this period, how would he express them? |
45729 | What reason then can we have to suppose that the separation of the soul from that body may not be effected without pain? |
45729 | When the soul is originally united to our body, do we experience any extraordinary joy, which delights and transports us? |
45729 | Whence then, shall we trace the origin of these people? |
45729 | Why are the Chinese whiter than the Tartars, whom they resemble in all their features? |
45729 | Why be afraid of that moment which is preceded by an infinity of others of the same kind? |
45729 | Why suffer to be interred with precipitation those persons whose lives we ardently wished to prolong? |
45729 | Why, then, be afraid of death, if our lives have been such as not to make us apprehend the consequences of futurity? |
45729 | Why, though all men are equally interested in the abolition of it, does the practice still subsist? |
45729 | Women who eat much, and exercise little, have the most copious discharge? |
45729 | and whence proceeds the cause of the difference of colour in the human species, since the influence of climate is, in this case, entirely overthrown? |
20818 | Admitting then the existence of species, and of their successive evolution, is there anything in these ideas hostile to Christian belief? |
20818 | Again, how explain the external position of the male sexual glands in certain mammals? |
20818 | And even if one was so, what chance was there of the perpetuation of such a variation? |
20818 | Are new species now evolving, as they have been from time to time evolved? |
20818 | But are there any theological authorities to justify this view of the matter? |
20818 | But how to obtain the beginning of such useful development? |
20818 | But the question is, how have the highest kinds of animals and plants arisen? |
20818 | But what conceptions does he offer us? |
20818 | But why should not these changes take place suddenly in a state of nature? |
20818 | For how can gemmules attach themselves to others to which they do not normally or generally succeed? |
20818 | How, for example, does it explain the peculiar reproduction which is{ 211} found to take place in certain marine worms-- certain annelids? |
20818 | How, once more, can we conceive the peculiar actions of the tendrils of some climbing plants to have been produced by minute modifications? |
20818 | If it was that of the carinate birds, how did the struthious birds and Dinosauria independently agree to differ? |
20818 | If it was that of the struthious birds, how did the pterodactyles and carinate birds independently arrive at the very same divergent structure? |
20818 | If not, can anything that is positive, and if anything, what, be said as to the question of specific origination? |
20818 | If so, in what way and by what conceivable means? |
20818 | If, then, new species are and have been evolved from pre- existing material, must that material have been organic or inorganic? |
20818 | In face of such a spirit, can it be wondered at that disputants have grown warm? |
20818 | Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending intelligence and will, as these transcend mechanical motion?" |
20818 | Need we point out the contradictions which this position involves? |
20818 | Now even if it were demonstrated that such is really the case, it may be asked, what is"slow and gradual"? |
20818 | Now, if so,"how long would it take to obtain an elephant from a protozoon, or even from a tadpole- like fish? |
20818 | Ought it not to take much more than a million times as long? |
20818 | The one_ modus operandi_ yet suggested having been found insufficient, the question arises, Can another be substituted in its place? |
20818 | The problem then is,"by what combination of natural laws does a new''common nature''appear upon the scene of realized existence?" |
20818 | The question is, what is the cause of this"nutritional balancing"? |
20818 | What do we not owe, for example, to the labours of the Alchemists? |
20818 | What explanation can be offered of these phenomena? |
20818 | What 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? |
20818 | and if individuals alone exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of species?" |
22150 | And who would have dared to suggest the further doctrine: matter can also feel and get a consciousness of things? |
22150 | Finally, who would have dared even to say: matter can also become a self- conscious and free personality? |
22150 | For where we are no longer able to find secondary causes, who can assert that God no longer uses any? |
22150 | For{ 145} whence does the whole richness of the appearances in the world come? |
22150 | Have they originated from illusions, and do they lead to illusions? |
22150 | He that formed the eye, shall he not see?" |
22150 | How does the material become something that is felt? |
22150 | How therefore, can we look upon such an organ, when finally it is perfect, as a product of selection in the sense of Darwin?" |
22150 | Is it not just possible that there is a mode of being as much transcending Intelligence and Will, as these transcend mechanical motion? |
22150 | Is there even a single scientific description conceivable without its being full of anthropomorphisms? |
22150 | Now, we ask: Is this biogenetic maxim correct? |
22150 | Now, what is this end? |
22150 | Should, then, the highest instincts of the highest creature on earth alone make an exception? |
22150 | Such a diligent work can certainly not be without gain; but wherein will this gain consist? |
22150 | The three questions are: How has the living sprung from that which is without life? |
22150 | We 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? |
22150 | What difference in rank, for instance, is there between an oyster and a cuttle- fish? |
22150 | What else set free those active causes, at the right time and in the right place? |
22150 | What is the demonstrable cause( not the condition, but the cause) of a sentient subject? |
22150 | Where the realm of visible causes ceases and that of the invisible begins, who can exclude secondary causes? |
22150 | Wherein lies the real necessity that there should be sensation? |
22150 | While, therefore, Strauss, to the question,"Are we still Christians?" |
22150 | Why not? |
22150 | Would not a_ beginning_ of mankind be really lost, in case that theory of evolution should gain authority? |
22150 | between a cochineal and a bee or ant? |
22150 | gives an emphatic"No,"he answers the question,"Have we still a religion?" |
22150 | or have we to look for the answer to these questions, which natural science can no longer give, in another science-- namely, philosophy? |
22150 | the sentient( and conscious) being from that which is without sensation? |
22150 | which will more probably be preserved and procreate offspring? |
6321 | But what is the use of killing one when they are in myriads? |
6321 | He, 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? |
6321 | How is it that vegetation is not eaten off the face of the earth? |
6321 | How was such a spot first chosen for settlement? |
6321 | The ceaseless, toiling hosts impress one with their power, and one asks-- What forests can stand before such invaders? |
6321 | Was it Atlantis, or was it a submerged country in the Pacific? |
6321 | Was that country to the east or the west of the present continent? |
6321 | We would shout to one another,"Do you see this or that?" |
6321 | Why should the one have varied so much and the other so little? |
6321 | how the Spaniards got all their information about heaven; who brought it to them, and if the messenger came down on a rainbow? |
15998 | ''Then why,''I asked again,''do you ever wear them?'' |
15998 | ''Why,''I asked,''do you sometimes take off your spectacles to read the paper?'' |
15998 | 17"Is Mars Habitable?" |

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

44479 | Which is the more noble, the more satisfying to our desires for a high and divine origin as well as high and divine destiny? |

45868 | Aided by such instruments, how can the operations of Nature be limited? |
45868 | Besides, what a peculiar magnificence from Nature does the earth enjoy? |
45868 | But even in this sense, is not the cause of attraction most evident, and that motion, in all cases, belongs more to attraction than impulsion? |
45868 | If it be asked, how we can then assert that the heat in summer is 66 times grater than that in winter in our climate? |
45868 | In short, if these drops of water could produce this effect why should not the dew- drops, which are also spherical, produce the same? |
45868 | Is 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? |
45868 | Is there any thing which comes nearer to extreme pleasure than grief? |
45868 | Now where shall we be able to discover this great quantity of heat if it be not in the source itself, in the sun alone? |
45868 | Ought we then to consider these two effects whose results are so contrary, as effects of the same nature? |
45868 | Since 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? |
45868 | That this sappy part suffered greatly from the frost is an incontestible fact, but has it been entirely disorganized? |
45868 | To the question, how can animated nature, which you suppose every where established, exist in planets of iron, emery, or pumice stone? |
45868 | What then would be the consequence if these sanguinary animals came in numbers, like wolves or jackals, to commit their depredations? |
45868 | What, 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? |
45868 | Why has there not hitherto been made objective glasses of 243 feet diameter? |
45868 | and who can assign the distance between the lively irritation by which we are moved with delight, and the friction which gives us pain? |
45868 | between the fire which warms and that which burns? |
45868 | between the light which is agreeable to our sight and that which blinds us? |
45868 | between the savour which pleases our taste and that which is disagreeable? |
45868 | between the smell of which a small quantity will at first be agreeable and yet soon after create nausea? |

20556 | De toute part on acclame le grand naturaliste, et''il n''y a pas même une rue portant son nom aux environs du Jardin des Plantes? |
20556 | Did Buffon''s guarded suggestions have no influence on the young Lamarck? |
20556 | Do you not confound the seminary with the ancient college of Rue Poste de Paris, college now destroyed?" |
20556 | Does not botany, which considers the other series, comprising the plants, offer us, in its different parts, a state of things perfectly similar? |
20556 | How 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?" |
20556 | How, he asks, can they reappear? |
20556 | In which of these views did Buffon really believe? |
20556 | Is it not more likely that these simple organisms are themselves regenerated? |
20556 | Is it not the same as regards a number of animals which domestication has changed or considerably modified? |
20556 | Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection? |
20556 | Is not wheat(_ Triticum sativum_) a plant brought by man to the state wherein we actually see it, which otherwise I could not believe? |
20556 | Qu''étaient nos connaissances à l''époque de De Lamarck sur les Polypiers? |
20556 | WHEN DID LAMARCK CHANGE HIS VIEWS REGARDING THE 226 MUTABILITY OF SPECIES? |
20556 | Was it negligence, was it the jealousy of his colleagues, was it the result of the troubles of 1830? |
20556 | Was this period of six years, between 1794 and 1800, given to a reconsideration of the subject resulting in favor of the doctrine of descent? |
20556 | What are the natural consequences of the influence and the movements of the waters on the surface of the globe? |

20556 | [ 254]"Does Natural Selection play any Part in the Origin of Species among Plants?" |

7280 | Saw me do what? |
7280 | And does a bee really work? |
7280 | As he lay groaning and rubbing himself he heard his wife call,"John, did you break the pitcher?" |
7280 | At each one of the four houses we passed on the way I asked,"Who lives there?" |
7280 | Did you row in the races? |
7280 | Does it fall back again into nature as the wave falls back into the ocean, to be gathered up and focussed in other minds? |
7280 | Does it have to keep on doing what it dislikes to do long after it is tired out? |
7280 | Does it have to make any conscious effort to fare forth among the flowers? |
7280 | Every night at supper Father would say to him,"Well, Jonathan, how many shock today?" |

2300 | ); Erithacus(? |
2300 | ; but who can say at what age this occurs in our young children? |
2300 | A friend of his asked one of these men,"How is it that every one whom I meet is so fine looking, not only your men but your women?" |
2300 | Are partridges, as they are now coloured, better protected than if they had resembled quails? |
2300 | Are we not justified in believing that the female exerts a choice, and that she receives the addresses of the male who pleases her most? |
2300 | Are we to suppose that these black marks and the crimson colour of the eyes have been preserved or augmented through sexual selection in the males? |
2300 | At what age does the new- born infant possess the power of abstraction, or become self- conscious, and reflect on its own existence? |
2300 | But can this be so confidently said of sexual selection? |
2300 | But what are we to conclude with respect to certain birds in which, for instance, the eyes differ slightly in colour in the two sexes? |
2300 | But what are we to say about the rudimentary and variable vertebrae of the terminal portion of the tail, forming the os coccyx? |
2300 | Can it be believed that they would thus act to no purpose during their courtship? |
2300 | Do the races or species of men, whichever term may be applied, encroach on and replace one another, so that some finally become extinct? |
2300 | Does the male parade his charms with so much pomp and rivalry for no purpose? |
2300 | Foetus of an Orang(?). |
2300 | How are such races distributed over the world; and how, when crossed, do they react on each other in the first and succeeding generations? |
2300 | How is it that there are birds enough ready to replace immediately a lost mate of either sex? |
2300 | How often do we see birds which fly easily, gliding and sailing through the air obviously for pleasure? |
2300 | How then are we to account for male mammals possessing mammae? |
2300 | How, then, are we to account for the beautiful or even gorgeous colours of many animals in the lowest classes? |
2300 | It may well be asked, could such artistically shaded ornaments have been formed by means of sexual selection? |
2300 | It 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? |
2300 | May we then infer that man became divested of hair from having aboriginally inhabited some tropical land? |
2300 | Must we attribute all these appendages of hair or skin to mere purposeless variability in the male? |
2300 | Now do not these actions clearly shew that she had in her mind a general idea or concept that some animal is to be discovered and hunted? |
2300 | Now, what is the difference between such actions, when performed by an uncultivated man, and by one of the higher animals? |
2300 | Now, what must we conclude with respect to such sexual differences as these? |
2300 | On the eastern coast, the negro boys when they saw Burton, cried out,"Look at the white man; does he not look like a white ape?" |
2300 | On the west coast of Africa the little black- weavers( Ploceus?) |
2300 | Or are we to suppose that the females of these several species especially require spurs for their defence? |
2300 | Or does she exert a choice, and prefer certain males? |
2300 | We are naturally led to enquire, where was the birthplace of man at that stage of descent when our progenitors diverged from the Catarrhine stock? |
2300 | What ancient nation, as the same author asks, can be named that was originally monogamous? |
2300 | What is this but energy and perseverance?) |
2300 | What kind of a person would she be without the pelele? |
2300 | What then are we to conclude from these facts and considerations? |
2300 | What, then, are we to conclude in regard to the many fishes, both sexes of which are splendidly coloured? |
2300 | When I say to my terrier, in an eager voice( and I have made the trial many times),"Hi, hi, where is it?" |
2300 | Who can doubt that the refusal to fight a duel through fear has caused many men an agony of shame? |
2300 | Why do not such spare birds immediately pair together? |
2300 | Why should a man feel that he ought to obey one instinctive desire rather than another? |

22764 | And what are varieties but groups of forms, unequally related to each other, and clustered round certain forms-- that is, round their parent- species? |
22764 | As man can produce and certainly has produced a great result by his methodical and unconscious means of selection, what may not Nature effect? |
22764 | But have we any right to assume that things have thus remained from the beginning of this world? |
22764 | But how, it may be asked, can any analogous principle apply in nature? |
22764 | But in the intermediate region, having intermediate conditions of life, why do we not now find closely- linking intermediate varieties? |
22764 | But may not this inference be presumptuous? |
22764 | But what is meant by this system? |
22764 | Can 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? |
22764 | Can the principle of selection, which we have seen is so potent in the hands of man, apply in nature? |
22764 | Do they believe that at each supposed act of creation one individual or many were produced? |
22764 | Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man? |
22764 | How will the struggle for existence, discussed too briefly in the last chapter, act in regard to variation? |
22764 | How, then, comes it that such a vast number of the seedlings are mongrelized? |
22764 | How, then, does the lesser difference between varieties become augmented into the greater difference between species? |
22764 | It may well be asked how is it possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection? |
22764 | Look at a plant in the midst of its range, why does it not double or quadruple its numbers? |
22764 | Now do these complex and singular rules indicate that species have been endowed with sterility simply to prevent their becoming confounded in nature? |
22764 | Now what does this remarkable law of the succession of the same types within the same areas mean? |
22764 | Thirdly, can instincts be acquired and modified through natural selection? |
22764 | Were all the infinitely numerous kinds of animals and plants created as eggs or seed, or as full grown? |
22764 | What can be more extraordinary than these well- ascertained facts? |
22764 | What can be plainer than that the webbed feet of ducks and geese are formed for swimming? |
22764 | What now are we to say to these several facts? |
22764 | What reason, it may be asked, is there for supposing in these cases that two individuals ever concur in reproduction? |
22764 | Who can explain why one species ranges widely and is very numerous, and why another allied species has a narrow range and is rare? |
22764 | Why are not all organic beings blended together in an inextricable chaos? |
22764 | Why 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? |
22764 | Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life? |
22764 | Why is not all nature in confusion instead of the species being, as we see them, well defined? |
22764 | Why should not Nature have taken a leap from structure to structure? |
22764 | Why 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? |
22764 | Why should the brain be enclosed in a box composed of such numerous and such extraordinary shaped pieces of bone? |
22764 | Why should the degree of sterility be innately variable in the individuals of the same species? |
22764 | Why should there often be so great a difference in the result of a reciprocal cross between the same two species? |
22764 | Why should this be so? |
22764 | Why should this be so? |
22764 | Why then is not every geological formation and every stratum full of such intermediate links? |
22764 | Why, it may be asked, has the supposed creative force produced bats and no other mammals on remote islands? |
22764 | Why, it may be asked, have all the most eminent living naturalists and geologists rejected this view of the mutability of species? |
22764 | Why, it may even be asked, has the production of hybrids been permitted? |
22764 | Why, on the theory of Creation, should this be so? |
22764 | Would the just- hatched young occasionally crawl on and adhere to the feet of birds roosting on the ground, and thus get transported? |
22764 | and in the case of mammals, were they created bearing the false marks of nourishment from the mother''s womb? |

45602 | Air and water, are they rectangular and equilateral triangles? |
45602 | Are not we dependent on our sensations? |
45602 | Are 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? |
45602 | Are we less certain of being always affected in the same manner by the same causes? |
45602 | Besides, from whence does this juice proceed? |
45602 | Besides, is it certain that this mixture is made? |
45602 | Besides, what can be more false than such suppositions? |
45602 | But if this is true, why, in whole provinces, does this crystalline juice form only stone, and in others nothing but flint? |
45602 | But of what nature is this matter which the animal or vegetable assimilates with its own substance? |
45602 | But this idea is only a project, and if properly founded, have we the means of performing it? |
45602 | But what do they explain to us by this answer? |
45602 | Can a triangular harmony form the substance of the elements? |
45602 | Can we receive this as a solution? |
45602 | Do the male and female embrace only to complete the triangle of generation? |
45602 | From hence is it not plain that abstractions can never become principles, neither of existence nor real knowledge? |
45602 | From whence do they arise? |
45602 | Has it not been pretended that the female did not furnish any fluid of this kind? |
45602 | Have not our sensations an invariable order of existence, and a necessary relation between them and the objects? |
45602 | If it is asked, why animals and vegetables reproduce? |
45602 | If it produces stone and flints, what is it that produces this juice? |
45602 | Is fire, as Plato affirms, an acute triangle, and light and heat properties of this triangle? |
45602 | Is it difficult to discover that our ideas proceed only from our senses? |
45602 | It has often been asked, why volcanos are all met with at the top of mountains? |
45602 | Must not the winds and the natural current of the waters towards the Bosphorus, convey thither a part of these matters? |
45602 | The question is asked, how one body produces its like? |
45602 | The second question, What can be the active power which causes this organic matter to penetrate and incorporate itself with this internal mould? |
45602 | The second question, Whether the female has really a seminal liquor similar to the male? |
45602 | The third question, Is it not by a similar power the internal mould itself is reproduced? |
45602 | This sea receives eight or ten great rivers, and as most of them bring sand and mud, must it not gradually be choaked up? |
45602 | What do they represent? |
45602 | What is this sufficient reason? |
45602 | What properties, what harmony, and what correspondence between the various parts? |
45602 | What variety of springs, what forces, and what mechanical motions are enclosed in this small part of matter which composes the body of an animal? |
45602 | When we ask how beings are multiplied? |
45602 | Why do trees, dogs,& c. exist? |
45602 | Why should we be confined to employ only the power of impulsion? |
45602 | Why should we exclude them from the explanations of effects, which we are convinced they produce? |
45602 | Will 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? |
45602 | Would not this be one mode by which reproduction may be performed? |
45602 | and for the same reason similar beings in the female? |
45602 | and if such a power does exist, must it not be similar to that by which the internal mould itself would be produced? |
45602 | are they not arbitrary relations which we have generalized? |
45602 | are they not moral beings created by intellects purely human? |
45602 | but how void and destitute for speculation? |
45602 | on what are they founded? |
45602 | shall we ever discover any thing by this mode of explanation? |
45602 | that the things we look on as real and existing are those of which our senses have always rendered us the same testimony? |
45602 | that those which we conceive to have certain existence are those which ever present themselves in the same order? |
45602 | what can be the nature of that power which gives it the activity and necessary motion to penetrate the internal mould? |
45602 | what is this perfection? |
19192 | And where are the Egyptians? |

19192 | He who fashioned the eye, shall not He see? 19192 What is that?" |
19192 | [ 23] Ought not this to settle the matter? 19192 [ 60] We have thus arrived at the answer to our question, What is Darwinism? |
19192 | And which of you by taking thought can add to his stature one cubit? |
19192 | As the question, What is matter? |
19192 | But do he and his associates let metaphysics and religion alone? |
19192 | But may not this inference be presumptuous? |
19192 | But what is life but one form of the organizing efficiency of God? |
19192 | But what is to be thought of the special relation of Mr. Darwin''s theory to the truths of natural and revealed religion? |
19192 | But who can believe that all the plants and animals which have ever existed upon the face of the earth, have been evolved from one such germ? |
19192 | FOOTNOTES:[ 16] The question is not, as Mr. Wallace says,"How has the Creator worked?" |
19192 | Have we any right to assume that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man? |
19192 | Have we not here the manifestation of a mind as powerful as prolific? |
19192 | He asks the question, What is Matter? |
19192 | He set before himself a single problem, namely, How are the fauna and flora of our earth to be accounted for? |
19192 | He starts the question, What is it that thinks? |
19192 | He that formed the ear shall not He hear?" |
19192 | How does Haeckel know that his senses do not deceive him? |
19192 | How does he know that he can trust to the operations of his intellect? |
19192 | How does he know that the universe is not a great phantasmagoria, as so many men have regarded it, and man the mere sport of chimeras? |
19192 | How does he know that things are as they appear? |
19192 | How then is it, that what was scientifically false in 1844 is scientifically true in 1864? |
19192 | If any modification of structure could be the result of law, why not all? |
19192 | If any varieties of color, why not all the varieties we see? |
19192 | If life owes its origin to creative power, why not species? |
19192 | If some self- adaptations should arise, why not others? |
19192 | If we admit the similarity of structure in all vertebrates, must we admit the evolution of one from another, and all from a primordial germ? |
19192 | If, then, the object perceived is self, what is the subject that perceives? |
19192 | In this same article Mr. Huxley says:"Elijah''s great question, Will ye serve God or Baal? |
19192 | Indeed, is not the whole faculty of reproduction intended to introduce a new life- process? |
19192 | Is it not in its nature in the highest degree teleological? |
19192 | Is it satisfactorily proved that species may[20] be originated by selection? |
19192 | Is this all chance work? |
19192 | It should be premised that this paper was written for the single purpose of answering the question, What is Darwinism? |
19192 | Must we also admit their explanations and inferences? |
19192 | Now, I ask Mr. Darwin himself, what interest has he in maintaining that natural selection is not guided-- not directed? |
19192 | Now, 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? |
19192 | Or if it is the true self which thinks, what other self can it be that is thought of? |
19192 | Ought not this to satisfy scientific men? |
19192 | So it has been asked, if man can make a telescope, why can not God make a telescope which produces others like itself? |
19192 | That is one thing; but the next thing is, does such a doctrine as that accord either with revelation or with the facts of science? |
19192 | The question is, How are the contrivances in nature to be accounted for? |
19192 | The question, therefore, What is Darwinism? |
19192 | The whole question is, How are we to account for the innumerable varieties, kinds, and genera of plants and animals, including man? |
19192 | This is simply asking, whether matter can be made to do the work of mind? |
19192 | To what causes are the changes we witness around us to be referred? |
19192 | Were they intended? |
19192 | What are the origin, nature, and destiny of man? |
19192 | What does he give us in exchange? |
19192 | What interest has he in substituting accidental causes for every final cause? |
19192 | What is attraction without molecules attracting each other? |
19192 | What is contractibility without muscular fibre, or secretion without a secreting gland? |
19192 | What is electricity without an electrified body? |
19192 | What is his law of heredity? |
19192 | What physical law, or uniformly acting force, operated to make the axe float at the command of the prophet? |
19192 | What then are the earliest known vertebrates? |
19192 | What was its origin? |
19192 | What, it is asked, is motion without something moving? |
19192 | When a man looks at a dissected insect and examines its strings of eggs, and asks, Whence are they? |
19192 | When asked, Where are the immediate predecessors of these new species? |
19192 | When asked, Where are their immediate successors? |
19192 | When asked, what kind of evidence would satisfy him? |
19192 | When it is further asked, Why are they there? |

19192 | the most palpable demonstration of the existence of a personal God, author of all this; ruler of the universe, and the dispenser of all good? |
45730 | Have animals, it may be said, no knowledge, no consciousness of their existence? 45730 After a youth like this, what is there left for a man? 45730 And does not all this prove that memory proceeds not from the power of reflection? |
45730 | Are fear, rage, horror, love, and jealousy, the only durable affections they are capable of experiencing? |
45730 | As they were all created without his participation, is it not reasonable to believe that Nature enabled them to exist and multiply without his aid? |
45730 | But are animals confined merely to those passions we have described? |
45730 | But how shall we comprehend the action of objects creating desire or aversion? |
45730 | Can it require a vessel capable of containing several cubic feet to receive three or four pints of water? |
45730 | Can man, who has conquered so many millions of individuals, boast of having subdued an entire species? |
45730 | Do men despise, even among animals, those which serve them best and at the smallest expence? |
45730 | Do they not recollect the punishments, the caresses, the lessons they had received? |
45730 | Do you deprive them of sentiment? |
45730 | Does not this suppose a comparison of seasons, a rational inquietude concerning their future support? |
45730 | Have animals no memory? |
45730 | Having considered man in himself, ought we not to derive every assistance, by comparing him with the other parts of the animal creation? |
45730 | How are we to distinguish the effects produced by the influence of the climate, food,& c.? |
45730 | How could he discover, hunt, and destroy noxious and savage beasts? |
45730 | How discover the changes which have resulted from an intermixture among themselves, either in a wild or domestic state? |
45730 | How many animals are deficient both in senses and members? |
45730 | In pretending to explain their actions upon mechanical principles, do you not in fact render them mere machines, or insensible automatons?" |
45730 | In what does the morality of love consist? |
45730 | Is it certain, or probable, that the latter have passions? |
45730 | Is it not sufficient that they are found together, that they are not hurtful, can grow without hindrance, and unfold without obliterating each other? |
45730 | Is it not unreasonable to attribute their source to mechanical laws, established, like all the other laws of Nature, by the will of the Creator? |
45730 | Is it not, on the contrary, allowed, that every passion is an emotion of the soul? |
45730 | Is not the Creator sufficiently great by his works; and do we believe we can render him more so by our weakness? |
45730 | Is there any thing exceeds the attachment of the dog to its master? |
45730 | Shall we consider this as an error in nature, and that these two toes so concealed ought not to be reckoned? |
45730 | Should it still be said,"Do not the idiot and the brute often act as if they were determined by the knowledge of things past? |
45730 | Should we not reflect on this singular conformation of the hog? |
45730 | Then why, on such slight grounds, invest them with a quality so sublime? |
45730 | Upon the ground of this supposition we might ask, what is become of these intermediate beings? |
45730 | What can we think of the excess to which the eulogiums on this animal have been carried? |
45730 | Why do they eat equally of all kinds of flesh? |
45730 | Why do we not see their representatives, their descendants? |
45730 | Why have old men a more distinct remembrance of what happened in their prime of life than what occurred in their more advanced years? |
45730 | Why is almost every thing forgotten that passed during our infancy? |
45730 | Why should birds build nests if they did not know that they should have occasion for them to deposit their eggs, and to rear their young? |
45730 | Why should we suppose, that in each individual every part is useful to others, and necessary to the whole? |
45730 | Why then has the male, which never produces, usually the same number of teats as the female? |
45730 | Why then is there so much contempt for an animal so good, so patient, so steady, and so useful? |
45730 | Why, without necessity degrade the human species? |
45730 | Without the assistance of the dog how could man have been able to tame and reduce other animals to slavery? |
45730 | and have they not always been different animals? |
45730 | and what joy when he returns!--From all these circumstances it is possible not to distinguish true marks of friendship? |
45730 | and why do the two extremes alone remain? |

45708 | And how would elderly people live through long evenings if there were no exhilaration in the odd trick? |
45708 | And the next morning, when an enterprising, bright- faced white boy ran up to me with a"''Times,''sir? |
45708 | And was there any reasonable way of living there? |
45708 | But what is bad weather when the time is past? |
45708 | But_ was_ it new? |
45708 | Comparison as between birds so dissimilar is useless and out of place; but how shall a man avoid it? |
45708 | Could he not spare a day to take me about? |
45708 | Could that bird have also a note like the rose- breast''s? |
45708 | Did any one ever suspect the chickadee of such providence? |
45708 | Did he know another redbird, with black wings and tail? |
45708 | Did he mistake them for so many dead trees still standing on their own roots? |
45708 | Do n''t you hear''em?" |
45708 | Does she never remind him, I wonder, that there are some things whose price is far above rubies? |

45708 | Men cut in a rock!--three of''em? |
45708 | Now, for the sake of being neighborly, I asked,"How''s the pig to- day?" |
45708 | Oh yes, there was a creek; but had I anything to drink out of? |
45708 | One day a ragged, bright- faced boy met me at the right moment, and I asked,"Did some one use to live in that house?" |
45708 | Pennsylvany?" |
45708 | Persimmons? |
45708 | Then, addressing General Gordon Granger, he said,''Did you order them up, Granger?'' |
45708 | There must be some wrennish quality about the Bewick''s song, it would seem: else how did I recognize it so promptly? |
45708 | Was it accessible? |
45708 | Was there a spring near by, where I could drink? |
45708 | Was there ever a man who did not take it as a matter of course that he should be wiser than the"lower animals"? |
45708 | What could_ he_ be fussing about in so unlikely a quarter? |
45708 | What did it look like?" |
45708 | What did she think of me, who had come all the way from Massachusetts? |
45708 | What dog would hunt if there were no excitement in overhauling the game? |
45708 | What had they to do with weather that makes a man hurry? |
45708 | What mattered it that all these men had perished, as it seemed, before their time?--that so many of them were lying in nameless graves? |
45708 | What more need be said? |
45708 | Where could the fellow have picked up such a ditty? |

45708 | Whether is better, to read two good books once, or one good book twice? |
45708 | Who says that life is an old story? |
45708 | Who would not love to hear the music of all our birds a few millions of years hence? |
45708 | Would he tell me something about the country, especially about the roads, so that I might improve my scanty time to the best advantage? |
45708 | Yet she had but a vague idea of where Massachusetts was, I fancy; for pretty soon she asked,"Where did you say you was from? |
58867 | Are you an entomologist? |
58867 | ''Well,''he exclaimed as I entered,''what do you think of this great event? |
58867 | Are species fixed in nature? |
58867 | Are species realities in nature? |
58867 | Can we by actual observation determine the particular part of the protoplasmic substance that carries the hereditary qualities? |
58867 | Did the rats of Egypt come, as the ancients believed, from the mud of the Nile, and do frogs and toads have a similar origin? |
58867 | Do insects spring from the dew on plants? |
58867 | Does it also contain some characteristics inherited from grandparents and previous generations? |
58867 | Does life always arise from previously existing life, or under certain conditions is it developed spontaneously? |
58867 | Has the great variety of forms existed unchanged from the days of their creation to the present? |
58867 | Have the functions remained the same through the series? |
58867 | Have they preserved their identity through all time, or have they undergone changes? |
58867 | How is it possible to conceive of all the hereditary qualities being contained within the microscopic germ of the future being? |
58867 | How shall this great diversity of life be accounted for? |
58867 | If so, how far back in the history of the race does unbroken continuity extend? |
58867 | If this position be admitted, the next question would be, What are the factors which have been operative to bring this about? |
58867 | In reply to the question,"Why is the offspring like the parent?" |
58867 | May it not be that all the intermediate stages are also inheritances, and, therefore, represent phases in ancestral history? |
58867 | Schleiden''s Contribution.--Schleiden''s paper was particularly directed to the question, How does the cell originate? |
58867 | The Biblia Naturæ.--It is time to ask, What, with all his talents and prodigious application, did he leave to science? |
58867 | The critical question is, Have these all an individual ancestral form in nature? |
58867 | The discovery of oxygen raises another question: Does prolonged heat change its vitalizing properties? |
58867 | The question is, Are any acquired characters, physical or mental, transmitted by inheritance? |
58867 | Under what conditions did they work, and what was their chief aim? |
58867 | We may well inquire, Why did not his views take hold? |
58867 | What becomes of the immense number of fishes that die? |
58867 | What matter? |
58867 | What were they like in appearance? |
58867 | Why then should I contend with you?" |
58867 | and what takes place within the parts that are actually alive? |
58867 | or have they undergone a series of modifications, differentiations, and improvements more or less parallel with the morphological series?" |
19321 | Then 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? |
19321 | And did those paws gradually become enlarged, till, after some generations, they were real wings? |
19321 | And how could these organs serve their purpose while the complex instincts required for their functioning were only in course of development? |
19321 | And was not that ancestor probably a wingless, though not a legless mammal? |
19321 | And what becomes of the"ages"of speculative geology? |
19321 | Are 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? |
19321 | But do they? |
19321 | But how could a spur be evolved in either sex? |
19321 | But how did Cromwell, Lincoln, Bismarck arise? |

19321 | Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? |
19321 | Civilization[ tr note: sic] have risen, civilizations have perished: is there in this traceable the working of natural law? |
19321 | Compare all that has been said by scientists themselves about the evolutionary theory, and what remains? |
19321 | Did he attempt to spring into the air and seize a passing insect, and reach out his paws to catch it? |
19321 | Do we find that scientists, though forced to surrender this prop, have given up atheistic evolution? |
19321 | Does it account for the origin of the universe, of life, and of the various forms of life? |
19321 | Does it conform to this scheme? |
19321 | Does orderliness and plan argue for development? |
19321 | For, indeed, what natural law can account for the rise of human institutions, so infinitely diversified in their structure? |
19321 | Has religion so developed? |
19321 | Have we not here a perfect case of what logicians call"reasoning in a circle,"or"begging the question?" |
19321 | He asks, concerning the heavenly bodies:"Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? |
19321 | How could they arise through natural selection( which is simply_ accident,_ of course), at all? |
19321 | How could they have been produced by evolution? |
19321 | How have they come to be what they are? |
19321 | How then explain the origin and rise of religion? |
19321 | If a special fiat was necessary at this point, why may it not have been at others? |
19321 | In a recent book,_"Creation or Evolution? |
19321 | Is it able to account for those things which it is set forth by its spokesmen to account for? |
19321 | Is it not clear that the same result can not be produced by causes so dissimilar? |
19321 | Is there a demonstrable development, by inherent forces, of human society, from lower to higher ranges of culture? |
19321 | It is an attempt to answer the old question, suggested to the thinking mind by a contemplation of nature:_ Whence_ these things? |
19321 | It is not extremely likely, assuming the development theory to be true, that both the mole and the bat sprang from a common ancestor? |
19321 | Now, how came the bat to acquire his wings? |
19321 | Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?" |
19321 | The question arises: Can such characteristics be transmitted? |
19321 | The question suggests itself, do scientists to- day believe as Darwin did? |
19321 | The questions insistently call for an answer: How could these instincts preserve the animal when they were still in an incipient, undeveloped state? |
19321 | The real question is, What is the nature and the cause of the prevailing order? |
19321 | We now turn to the geologist and ask: How do you determine the age of the strata? |
19321 | We repeat it,--is not this a very, very extraordinary situation? |
19321 | We shall try to answer the question: Is the evolutionary theory entitled to the name of a working hypothesis? |

19321 | What, in view of this situation, becomes of the evolutionist''s argument from fossils? |

8517 | ( 2) By what means are these effects brought about, what is the physiological explanation of the influence of the gonads on the soma? |
8517 | And then how should we account for the recessive white? |
8517 | Are we to suppose that the upper half of the body or eye had a positive heliotropism and the lower half a negative heliotropism? |
8517 | But how do we know that feathers in their origin were connected with flight? |
8517 | But if this is the case, what is the male condition? |
8517 | But it may be asked, What objection is there to the theory of natural selection as an explanation of adaptations? |
8517 | But 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? |
8517 | But this leaves the question, what is lutein and why is it secreted? |
8517 | But what determines the end of the pregnancy? |
8517 | But what is sex but the difference between ovum and spermatozoon, between megagamete and microgamete? |
8517 | Does this metamorphosis take place in the blind_ Drosophila_ of the milk- bottle? |
8517 | He then asks, Through what agency is the environment enabled to act on the germ- plasm? |
8517 | Here arises an interesting question-- namely, how does the hormone theory explain the phenomenon of metamorphosis any better than the mutation theory? |
8517 | How can we suppose that the divisions shall be exactly equal or the growth always the same? |
8517 | How comes it then that the female quality entirely disappears? |
8517 | How then was it evolved? |
8517 | If so, why should not antlers equally develop in the stallion or in the buck rabbit, or indeed in man? |
8517 | In what sense then, can an ovum be male? |
8517 | Is it merely the increasing distension of the uterus by the developing foetus? |
8517 | Mais est- il impossible que malgré la différence de constitution physico- chimiques il soit influencé de la même façon?'' |
8517 | Moreover, if it is a mutation, why has it never occurred in any other class of Vertebrates except Mammals? |
8517 | The consideration of the subject involves two questions:( 1) What are the exact effects of the removal of the gonads in male and female? |
8517 | The problem then is, How did these distinct species arise? |
8517 | The question is, what were the unit characters in the parent species? |
8517 | The question remains, therefore, where are the factors of the somatic sex- characters? |
8517 | The question then is, how did these factors arise? |
8517 | The question then to be considered is, what determines parturition and menstruation? |
8517 | They conclude that the interstitial cells supply a nutritive material( hormone? |
8517 | What meaning are we to attach to the words''male ovum''or even''male producing ovum''? |
8517 | What, then, is heredity? |
8517 | Would the fish be any worse off if the lower side were coloured like the upper? |
47990 | But surely,I said,"you must know these that are so common-- these little blue flowers, for instance, what do you call them?" |
47990 | Do you mean that? |

47990 | How far is it to Zennor? |
47990 | I wonder,he wrote,"did you see much of the marvellous migration scene which took place here on Friday morning? |

47990 | But what are the facts of the case as to the condition of Cornwall, with regard to drunkenness, before its conversion to Methodism? |
47990 | But who was Mr. Ebblethwaite, and what was it he did about the gulls? |
47990 | But who, beyond the line or two, has ever in verse or prose said anything in praise of the furze? |
47990 | But you ca n''t have something for nothing, can you? |
47990 | Did any of them town idlers, them that worked a day or two once a week or month-- did they knaw what the land gave? |
47990 | Did 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? |
47990 | Here there are great blocks and slabs of granite which have been artificially hollowed into basins-- for what purpose, who shall say? |
47990 | I wonder if it''s some very old pilchards they''ve found stowed away in some corner?" |
47990 | Now can you tell me what bird was that?" |
47990 | Shall they refuse to take any good thing he chooses to send them? |
47990 | The 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?" |
47990 | The question, Did the Cornish people have a sense of humour? |
47990 | They may appear equally inconsistent-- the Somerset man and the Cornishman-- but can we say that one is morally worse than the other? |
47990 | To live without work? |
47990 | Was there a particle of truth in it? |
47990 | What are they, these other islands, and what do we know of them? |
47990 | What did they think they''d get? |
47990 | What do they mean, then, by saying the land will pay? |
47990 | What is the reason of this? |
47990 | What will happen now? |
47990 | What, then, did they expect? |
47990 | Who''s to pay for it then? |
47990 | Why are the Cornish more temperate than others? |
47990 | Will it? |
47990 | With regard to honesty it is one I always hear with surprise; for can it be said that we are as a people honest? |
47990 | what are those fellows making such a to- do about-- down there on that chimney- pot? |
60041 | And which place do you like best? |
60041 | Ca n''t you tell''em how to get to it? |
60041 | What are you going to do with the fruit? |
60041 | A 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?" |
60041 | And the wheat bread you gits from the shop, what''s it good for? |
60041 | And 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? |
60041 | And what''s the good of doing it if the wine''s not good enough for people to drink? |
60041 | And what, we should like to ask of our masters, is a British wild flower? |
60041 | And whom are we to ask? |
60041 | Are there mental characteristics, too, that are"mutually exclusive"? |
60041 | As old Langland wisely says: For by luthere men know the good; And whereby wiste men which were white If all things black were? |
60041 | But how does the fact of pre- natal suggestion help us to get the true meaning of such a phenomenon as fascination? |
60041 | But how long after White''s time did that flower run wild in Hampshire? |
60041 | But when was it introduced, and what is its range? |
60041 | Can we call him a singer at all? |
60041 | For how had they got there? |
60041 | Has it not been said that love itself is an argument in favour of immortality? |
60041 | He says he were passing and felt a sort of smell about-- would you mind letting him come in just to have a sniff round? |
60041 | He turned up two spadefuls of earth, then asked again,"Priors Dean?" |
60041 | How many hundreds of times, I wonder, must this lesson be repeated before the young grebe finds out how to keep and to kill? |
60041 | If the insects named as our best are rare and local, or at all events not common, what shall we say of our cicada? |
60041 | In a letter to Procter, from Milan, 1824, he wrote: And what else have I seen? |
60041 | Is it not amazing that these familiar, large, showy, and striking- looking insects have no common specific names with us? |
60041 | Is it possible to believe, they say, that this beautiful sacred flame can be darkened for ever when soul and body fall asunder? |
60041 | It may be a poor unspiritual sort of religion, based on old traditions and associations, mostly local; but shall we scorn it on that account? |
60041 | One was the presence, very close to the nest, of the ejected nestling-- what would the parents do in the case? |
60041 | These iron ranges and stoves we have now-- what''s the good o''they? |
60041 | What 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? |
60041 | What is the reason of this leanness? |
60041 | What was it now? |
60041 | What, one asks, is the jay doing in such company? |
60041 | What_ do_ they think? |
60041 | When he had had his long gaze, he said,"Priors Dean?" |
60041 | Why 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? |
60041 | Yet 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? |
60041 | or 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? |
60041 | why did they look so unwholesome generally? |
60041 | why 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? |
45639 | And if any individual possessed a superior genius, would it not take an opportunity to manifest that superiority in its actions? |
45639 | And why does not one individual perform them better or worse than another? |
45639 | And with regard to our internal sense, has it any thing similar or in common with these external organs? |
45639 | And would not super- foetation be as frequent as they now are scarce, or as natural as they appear to be accidental? |
45639 | Besides why should the calmar alone have machines in its seed, whereas every other animal has spermatic worms, and real animals? |
45639 | Besides, continue they, have we not very frequent examples of transformation in insects? |
45639 | But how shall we give it its full activity and extent? |
45639 | But, 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? |
45639 | Can it be said, the active machines which Mr. Needham perceived in the milt of the calmar were animals? |
45639 | Can it be thought that eggs, which are active machines of another kind, are also animals? |
45639 | Can there be a stronger proof that their operations are merely the effects of mechanism and materiality? |
45639 | Can we then imagine these bodies to be real animals? |
45639 | Dic coaluisse tubas post partum: quomodo i d nosti? |
45639 | Dic concepisse tubis clausis; quomodo ovulum ingredi tubam potuit? |
45639 | Dic igitur tubas ab incunabulis clausas sterilitatem inducere: quare hæc nostra femina peperit? |
45639 | Do not then those nations act more wisely than we who cover or clothe their children without shackling them in swathing- bands? |
45639 | How could this contact take place upon a remote object or abstracted subjects? |
45639 | How could this movement be accomplished in an indivisible instant? |
45639 | How shall the soul, in which it resides, be disengaged from all the illusions of the mind? |
45639 | I. p. 7,"Quid fiet de omnibus illis particulis seu corpusculis præter illa animalcula semini virili hominum inhærentibus? |
45639 | If these are animals, why have they not all life? |
45639 | If 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? |
45639 | Is it possible to have a conception of motion without having a conception of space and time? |
45639 | Is not that a sufficient proof, that the nature of the soul is different from that of matter? |
45639 | Is will then nothing more than a corporeal movement; and is contemplation but a simple contact? |
45639 | It might here be asked Hippocrates what would happen when the one furnished its weak semen and the other its strong? |
45639 | Must 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? |
45639 | Now, 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? |
45639 | Quomodo adeo evanescere in utroque latere fimbriæ possunt, tanquam nunquam adfuissent? |
45639 | The famous Boerhaave having asked Leeuwenhoek, if he had not observed in spermatic animals different degrees of growth and size? |
45639 | The question is, Why each individual, male and female, does not produce of itself an animal of its own sex? |
45639 | The same circumstance must occur in the other system, and therefore I ask if there is the smallest appearance of probability in these suppositions? |
45639 | To 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? |
45639 | What a curious assemblage of figures would be seen if all the whimsical desires of the mother were written on the skin of the child? |
45639 | What are even the material organs of those senses, but so many conformities with the objects that affect them? |
45639 | What can result from this commotion? |
45639 | What knowledge is to be acquired from this mode of negation? |
45639 | What must we conclude therefrom? |
45639 | What would it be if we were to carry it to ten generations? |
45639 | Whence can arise the uniformity that is in all the works of animals? |
45639 | Why does each species invariably perform the same actions in the same manner? |
45639 | Why is a servile imitation more troublesome to us than an original design? |
45639 | Why retrench from the Natural History of Man the history of his noblest part? |
45639 | Why should that be impossible, since hens form eggs without communication with the cock? |
45639 | Why then does it occur, that in miscarriages of the first and second month this ball never escapes without a great effusion of blood? |
45639 | Why then is not this organized being formed? |
45639 | Why, on the other hand, are the productions and performances of men so various, and so diversified? |
45639 | Would not those which were the most happily organized, build their nests and contrive their cells in a manner more solid, elegant, and commodious? |
45639 | and in the cicatrice of these eggs we perceive a mole, with appendages, instead of a chicken? |
45639 | and may not spermatic animals, by a similar transformation, become perfect animals? |
45639 | and when women have two or three children, why do they all come into the world at one time? |
45639 | and why is not the chicken perfectly formed in those eggs which are fecundated twenty- one days before the hen lays them? |
45639 | and why, in almost every animal, is a mixture of the liquors of the two sexes required to produce an animal? |
45639 | do we not see small aquatic worms become winged animals, by only throwing off their coats, which were their apparent and external forms? |
45639 | why are not some of them produced in nine months, and others at distant periods? |
45639 | why are they in the most fluid part of the liquor alive, while those in the thickest are not so? |
7234 | And what is it that makes us familiar with them? |
7234 | Are all mutations to be considered as limited to such periods? |
7234 | Are the older ones now in a better condition than at the outset? |
7234 | Are these types to be considered as elementary species, or only as individual differences? |
7234 | Are 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? |
7234 | Are we to conclude therefore that the main strain has died out? |
7234 | But what is a prototype? |
7234 | But why should they have done so, especially in cases of recent changes? |
7234 | Could it be affected to such a degree as to gradually lose the inactive quality, and cease to be a double race? |
7234 | Could not the plants of the second locality have arisen from seeds transported from the first? |
7234 | Could the mutation be repeated? |
7234 | ELEMENTARY SPECIES LECTURE II ELEMENTARY SPECIES IN NATURE What are species? |
7234 | Had it been present, though dormant in the original sample of seed? |
7234 | Had it commenced to mutate after its introduction into Europe, some time ago, or was it already previously in this state? |
7234 | Had the germ of the mutation lain hidden through all this time? |
7234 | Have they done so? |
7234 | Have they really been gradually improved during the centuries of their existence? |
7234 | How long had it been so? |
7234 | How many different conceptions are conveyed by the terms constancy and variability? |
7234 | How may this character have originated? |
7234 | How[ 568] great is the chance for a single individual to be destroyed in the struggle for life? |
7234 | If a distinct mutation from a given species is once possible, why should it not occur twice or thrice? |
7234 | If 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? |
7234 | In other words, would it have been possible to attain an average of 20 rows in a single experiment? |
7234 | Is it the minute inspection of the features of the process in the case of the evening- primroses? |
7234 | Is it the systematic study of species and varieties, and the biologic inquiry into their real hereditary units? |
7234 | Is the mutability of our evening- primroses temporary, or is it a permanent condition? |
7234 | Is the number of such germs to be supposed to be limited or unlimited? |
7234 | It has frequently succeeded for practical purposes, why should it not succeed as well for purely scientific investigation? |
7234 | Now who can assure us that the single root of a given beet is an average representative of the partial variability? |
7234 | Or are we to base our hopes and our methods on broader conceptions of nature''s laws? |
7234 | Or can the same mutation have been repeated at different times and in distant localities? |
7234 | Or had an entirely new creation taken place during my continuous endeavors? |
7234 | Or is it perhaps concealed among the throng, being distinguished by no peculiar character? |
7234 | Or is the theory of descent to be our starting- point? |
7234 | Perhaps as their more or less immediate result? |
7234 | The first point, is the question, which seeds become double- flowered and which single- flowered plants? |
7234 | Was it to be ascribed to some latent cause which might be operative more than once? |
7234 | Was the observed mutation to be explained by a common cause with the other cases recorded by field- observations? |
7234 | Was there some hidden tendency to mutation, which, ordinarily weak, was strengthened in my cultures by some unknown influence? |
7234 | What are species and what are varieties? |
7234 | What are the links which bind them together? |
7234 | What has to be ascertained on such occasions to give them scientific value? |
7234 | What is to guide us in the choice of the material? |
7234 | What is to guide us in this new line of work? |
7234 | When and how did it originate? |
7234 | Why then are they not met with more often? |
7234 | Will all of them do so, or only part of them, and how large a part? |
7234 | Will they keep true to the reverted character, or return to the characters of the plant which bears the retrograde branch? |
7234 | Would it be possible to obtain any imaginable deviation from the original type, and to reach independency from further selection? |
7234 | Would the race become changed thereby? |

32800 | And what enormous mass is suddenly thrust up out of the quiet water of yonder igaripé? |
32800 | And_ why did_ it remain there so quietly, while the bark gradually grew over its prison- house? |
32800 | Are not these insects entirely gratuitous? |
32800 | Are the Grasses worthy of mention for their beauty? |
32800 | But have we nothing better for this conclusion than an assumption of the possibility, and a more or less probable conjecture? |
32800 | But how? |
32800 | But in either case the question arises, why are they torpid during these the hottest months of the year? |
32800 | But is it likely that the Peacock and the Pheasant(_ vide supra_) were imported from the East so early? |
32800 | But of this sort of beauty, perhaps nothing can excel the gemmeous green, changing to azure, of_ Papilio Ulysses_, or that of_ Apatura(?) |
32800 | But what is the value of a hypothesis,--so far as its claims to solve this question are concerned,--which will not touch these cases? |
32800 | But what of our own land? |
32800 | Can this be called hybernation, as it is usually understood? |
32800 | Can_ these_ live for years shut up from light and food and air? |

32800 | May the word refer to two of these bearing the same name, but the one distinguished by the term_ fleet_? |
32800 | My informant measured the diameter[_ qu._ circumference?] |
32800 | No doubt, however, they do migrate; but is this true of the entire body, or only of a portion? |
32800 | Once more,--Is there any substratum of truth underlying these fancies? |
32800 | Or are lizards included in the category of"soft insects and annelides?" |
32800 | Or 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? |
32800 | Or 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? |
32800 | Or is there some other cause of torpidity besides mere cold? |
32800 | Or the squirrel mentioned by Kalm? |
32800 | Perhaps both: but if the latter, what are those circumstances? |
32800 | Quis enim eximiam earum pulchritudinem et varietatem contemplans mira voluptate non afficiatur? |
32800 | Seba''s Museum-- His"Thesaurus"-- Figures of Curious Serpents-- What could they have been? |
32800 | The question now arises, Was the Toad_ young_ when it got into the hollow? |
32800 | Was the mythological symbol the origin of the persuasion? |
32800 | We certainly see them only occasionally: where are they on the days on which they do not appear,--days extending to several consecutive weeks? |
32800 | We may therefore ask, when are these sleepers to awake? |
32800 | We 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?" |
32800 | Were these Bisons? |
32800 | What becomes of our swallows in the winter? |
32800 | What becomes of them? |
32800 | What did they find here? |
32800 | What has become of the terrible Uri which lived in Europe at the commencement of the Christian era? |
32800 | What have we parallel to this in the whole range of natural history? |
32800 | What shall we say to the Argus Pheasant, the bird of Malacca with the magnificent pinions? |
32800 | What should he do in such a case? |
32800 | What, then, shall we say to an indefinite prolongation of life under like dreary conditions in--_Bats_? |
32800 | When did their life-- their species- life-- terminate? |
32800 | Whence did the kings of Toluca obtain the young tree, or the seed? |
32800 | Where, in each case, was the excrement corresponding to such an augmentation? |
32800 | Who knows what might be found if a clever insect- hunter were to go stone- turning on the peaks of Ararat? |
32800 | Who that has seen a pet fawn coming to be caressed by a fair girl, but must have had his sense of the beautiful gratified? |
32800 | Who will undertake to decide the point in this manner? |
32800 | Why have these late appearances been more remarked this year than other years? |
32800 | Why is there only one tree of the kind? |
32800 | Why not, however, if it rains snails, frogs, fishes, and feathers? |
32800 | Why 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? |
32800 | Would 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? |

32800 | and so indefinitely-- under circumstances peculiarly favouring? |
32800 | he rears himself up against the tree; is he about to essay the scaling? |
32800 | or 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? |
32800 | or is this limit left, so to speak, to be determined by accidental circumstances? |
32800 | or must they be unhesitatingly dismissed to the region of fable? |
32800 | or the eel in the drain? |
32800 | or the mouse seen by Le Vaillant? |
32800 | these great- chested, well- lunged, warm- blooded, aerial quadrupeds? |
23667 | And this hath the shape of a goose foot? |
23667 | And where do you sleep? |
23667 | Go to the South? |
23667 | In the house? |
23667 | Is not a goose foot very strong, so it never catcheth cold in the icy water? |
23667 | Now,said the All- Mother,"do you wish to go back and be ugly again?" |
23667 | Well, my Beauty- crawlers,she said,"what would you?" |
23667 | What hast thou now, Monapini? |
23667 | What is it, little one? |
23667 | Who are you, oh radiant princess? 23667 Will you?" |
23667 | Would_ you_? |
23667 | Yes, and your nights? |
23667 | Yet what about it,you say,"if the Brownie happens to be there?" |
23667 | You silly little green crawler, do n''t you think I know better than you what is good for you? 23667 And Mother Carey, she was there, for were they not her peers? 23667 And now what is going to happen? 23667 Are You Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you Alive? 23667 Are you quick as a cat? 23667 But are you happy? |
23667 | But he said,"May I not see you again?" |
23667 | But how many of us have found the Mecha- meck? |
23667 | But what enemy? |
23667 | But which owl? |
23667 | Can you see it? |
23667 | Can you see like a hawk, feel like a blind man, hear like an owl? |
23667 | Crawl into some hole or bird- house, maybe? |
23667 | Crinkleroot; or Who Hid the Salad? |
23667 | Did they not drink of the double goblet? |
23667 | Did you ever meet a Hickory Horn- devil? |
23667 | Do you know that just such transformations and happy weddings are going on about us all the time? |
23667 | Do you know the difference between a Butterfly and a Moth? |
23667 | Do you know the lovely shade called Robin''s- egg blue? |
23667 | Do you know the soft trilling whistle of the common Hoptoad in May? |
23667 | Fearlessly now he flew to overtake her; for was she not of his own kind? |
23667 | Had she not heard her people talking and planning? |
23667 | Have you got wise fingers like a blind man? |
23667 | Have you the eyes of a hunter? |
23667 | He said,"Please, Ma''am, I am lost and very hungry, will you give me something to eat?" |
23667 | Hid away in our house, Hid his brother in the cellar, Was n''t he a silly feller? |
23667 | How Beauty had to marry the Beast to save her father''s life? |
23667 | How and when are we then to find this strange creature? |
23667 | How are they to get this? |
23667 | How could it do so much, when it was so simple? |
23667 | How many signs can you add to these two lists? |
23667 | How many? |
23667 | How shall we know the deadly Amanita among its kindly cousins, the good mushrooms? |
23667 | How? |
23667 | I know a''Possum has a tail to hang on a limb with, and a Fish can swim with his tail, but why is a Gray Squirrel''s tail so bushy and soft?" |
23667 | If the Daisy says"He loves me,"they take a second Daisy and ask the next question,"Will he marry me?" |
23667 | Is your spirit strong, or angry?" |
23667 | Just as alive as an Indian? |
23667 | Know you the Twelfth Secret of the Woods? |
23667 | Know you what walked around your tent on that thirtieth night of your camp out? |
23667 | Little boy or girl, are you all alive? |
23667 | Mother Carey said gravely,"Do you think you could stand it, little worm? |
23667 | Nana- bo- jou said:"Little voice, where are you? |
23667 | Now what is the Sky Medicine? |
23667 | Now what would ye?" |
23667 | Now who will be strike- breakers and volunteer to supply the music till the birds get once more in a good humour?" |
23667 | One morning a sly old Brownie, really making fun of him, said:"Why do n''t you catch that Phoebe- bird? |
23667 | Our Department of Agriculture may declare war on the Sparrow; but what is the use? |
23667 | TALE 12 Butterflies and Moths Do you remember the dear old fairy tale of Beauty and the Beast? |
23667 | TALE 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? |
23667 | TALE 22 Crinkleroot; or Who Hid the Salad? |
23667 | TALE 54 Stoutheart and His Black Cravat Do you know the bird that wears a black cravat, which he changes once a year? |
23667 | TALE 87 Hearing Can you hear like an owl? |
23667 | TALE 9 The Woolly- bear[ Illustration: The Woolly- bear( the moth is 1- 1/4 life size)] Do you know the Woolly- bear Caterpillar? |
23667 | Tell me, my child, can you see the pappoose?" |
23667 | That pussy- willow?" |
23667 | The Dragon looked puzzled, and the Toad said,"Have you?" |
23667 | The last test is: Can you lace your shoes in the dark, or blind- folded, finishing with a neat double bow knot? |
23667 | The little ugly creatures whispered together, then one said:"Mother Carey, if we drink, will it give us beauty?" |
23667 | The 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?" |
23667 | The wise old Indian said,"Oh, white man, where do you spend your days?" |
23667 | The"red"part of the name is right, but why"Admiral"? |
23667 | The_ tuk- ut- e- ah- tuk_ means,"Bless my soul, what is that?" |
23667 | Then as the Cicada ceased, Mother Carey said to the Green Hopper, whose name was Katy,"Now, Katy, what can you do?" |
23667 | Then he met the Medicine Man and said to him,"Can you help me?" |
23667 | Then, after a pause he added,"Mother, what is its tail for? |
23667 | There they prayed,"Dear Mother Carey, we are not of an ugly race, why should we be so ugly as caterpillars? |
23667 | Turning to one, he says:"Who are you and what can you dance?" |
23667 | Was n''t he crazy?" |
23667 | What do you expect but evil? |
23667 | Where are you?" |
23667 | Where did the Woolly- bear come from? |
23667 | Which happens to be true; and makes us ask: Why does a Dog wag his tail to mean friendship? |
23667 | Why does the Quaking Asp do this? |
23667 | Why is it so big and fluffy? |
23667 | Why should we quarrel? |
23667 | Why? |
23667 | Why? |
23667 | Will you marry me? |
23667 | Will you not make us beautiful, for beauty is one of the best things of all?" |
23667 | Will you not protect us?" |
23667 | Wo n''t you give me a job? |
23667 | Wo n''t you give me some little power?" |
23667 | Wo n''t you give us a little job all our own, our very own, for we long to be doing something?" |
23667 | Would n''t you like to have wings so you could fly over the tree- tops, like the Eagle?" |
23667 | Would you like there to be no rain?" |
23667 | You will know this the twelfth secret of the woods: What walked around your tent that thirtieth night? |
23667 | [ Illustration: The Crinkleroot; or Who Hid the Salad?] |
23667 | little Yellow Dragon,"he said,"you are very wonderful to see, and you must be very clever; but you have n''t got everything you want, have you?" |
23667 | or dive into a snowdrift? |
3704 | Any 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? |
3704 | A question often occurred to me-- how long does any vestige of a fallen tree remain? |
3704 | Again, on what have the reef- building corals, which can not live at great depths, based their encircling structures? |
3704 | Amongst many other questions, he asked me,"Now that George Rex is dead, how many more of the family of Rexes are yet alive?" |
3704 | And what are the boasted glories of the illimitable ocean? |
3704 | And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt? |
3704 | And will not the manner of its descent proclaim throughout the district to the whole family of carrion- feeders, that their prey is at hand? |
3704 | But it may yet be asked, how has the solid basalt been removed? |
3704 | But what has caused these reefs to spring up at such great distances from the shores of the included islands? |
3704 | Can we believe that any power, acting for a time short of infinity, could have denuded the granite over so many thousand square leagues? |
3704 | Captain Sulivan, who, since his voyage in the"Beagle,"has been employed on the survey of the Falkland Islands, heard from a sealer in( 1842? |
3704 | Did man, after his first inroad into South America, destroy, as has been suggested, the unwieldy Megatherium and the other Edentata? |
3704 | Do the very numerous spiders and rapacious Hymenoptera supply the place of the carnivorous beetles? |
3704 | Do they mistake a man in the distance for their chief enemy the puma? |
3704 | Does it not arise from the difficulty of several females associating together, and finding a male ready to undertake the office of incubation? |
3704 | Does the black fetid mud, abounding with organic matter, yield the sulphur and ultimately the sulphuric acid? |
3704 | Does this not partly explain the circumstance? |
3704 | Have the subsequently introduced species consumed the food of the great antecedent races? |
3704 | Have the succulent, salt- loving plants, which are well known to contain much soda, the power of decomposing the muriate? |
3704 | He added,"I have one other question: Do ladies in any other part of the world wear such large combs?" |
3704 | His brother said( York imitating his manner),"What that?" |
3704 | How can this faculty be explained? |
3704 | I asked,"Are they Indians?" |
3704 | I 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?" |
3704 | I suggested this; but all the answer I could extort was,"Quien sabe?" |
3704 | In another elegant little coralline( Crisia?) |
3704 | Is it not an uncommon case, thus to find a remarkable degree of aerial transparency with such a state of weather? |
3704 | Is it not most wonderful that men should have attempted such operations, without the use of iron or gunpowder? |
3704 | Is it not possible that the mixture of large bodies of fresh and salt water may disturb the electrical equilibrium? |
3704 | Is this owing to the state of the body during sleep, or to a greater abundance of miasma at such times? |
3704 | It was laughable, but almost pitiable, to hear him speak to his wild brother in English, and then ask him in Spanish("no sabe?") |
3704 | Might it not thus readily be overlooked? |
3704 | Mr. 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?" |
3704 | Must we believe that it was fairly pitched up in the air, and thus turned? |
3704 | My companions knew nothing about them, and only answered my queries by their imperturbable"quien sabe?" |
3704 | On what then, I repeat, are these barrier reefs based? |
3704 | Or does curiosity overcome their timidity? |
3704 | Secondly, what causes the length and narrowness of the bands? |
3704 | Sir 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?" |
3704 | They asked me,"Why do you not become a Christian-- for our religion is certain?" |
3704 | Was he at a loss how to classify them, and did he consequently think that silence was the more prudent course? |
3704 | Was this effect produced beneath the depths of a profound ocean? |
3704 | We here have the puzzle that so frequently occurs in the case of musquitoes-- on the blood of what animals do these insects commonly feed? |
3704 | Well may one be allowed to ask, What is an individual? |
3704 | What can be more singular than these structures? |
3704 | What cause can have altered, in a wide, uninhabited, and rarely- visited country, the range of an animal like this? |
3704 | What is the cause of this difference in their shyness? |
3704 | What other troops in the world are so independent? |
3704 | What shall we say of the extinction of the horse? |
3704 | What 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? |
3704 | What would become of the lofty houses, thickly packed cities, great manufactories, the beautiful public and private edifices? |
3704 | What, it may naturally be asked, was the character of the vegetation at that period; was the country as wretchedly sterile as it now is? |
3704 | What, then, has exterminated so many species and whole genera? |
3704 | When I exclaimed that this appeared rather inhuman, he answered,"Why, what can be done? |
3704 | When 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? |
3704 | Where 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? |
3704 | Which of us, for instance, could follow an American Indian through a sentence of more than three words? |
3704 | Whilst beholding these savages, one asks, Whence have they come? |
3704 | Who 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? |
3704 | Who from seeing choice plants in a hothouse can magnify some into the dimensions of forest trees, and crowd others into an entangled jungle? |
3704 | Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilised country? |
3704 | Who would ever have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark? |
3704 | Why have not the still more level, the greener and more fertile Pampas, which are serviceable to mankind, produced an equal impression? |
3704 | Why, then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have these arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory? |
3704 | Why, with their wide and deep moat- like channels, do they stand so far from the included land? |
3704 | Would he not attribute it to a flood having swept over the surface of the land, rather than to the common order of things? |
3704 | Yet 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? |
3704 | or did a covering of strata formerly extend over it, which has since been removed? |
6164 | A shifting of the plane of the wings would, however, in all probability, give some impetus: the question is, would it be sufficient? |
6164 | Almost too idle to rise, they arch their backs, and stretch their legs, as much as to say, Why trouble us? |
6164 | And thunder-- how does thunder sound under the surface? |
6164 | And what, oh blindest of the blind, do you imagine has become of the remaining four hundred and fifty? |
6164 | Angles and wheels, cranks and cogs, where are they? |
6164 | Are they dead? |
6164 | Are"horse- stepple"and"stabbling"purely provincial, or known in towns? |
6164 | At what price? |
6164 | But see-- can it be? |
6164 | Did he conclude he had a right to take what others only asked or worked for? |
6164 | Did he dimly claim the rights of strength in his mind, and arrogate to himself the prerogatives of arbitrary kings? |
6164 | Do the particles of water, as they brush his sides and fins, cause a sound, as the wind by us? |
6164 | Does any one sorrow for the rook, shot, and hung up as a scarecrow? |
6164 | Does he hear the stream running past him? |
6164 | Does this reverie of flowers and waterfall and song form an ideal, a human ideal, in the mind? |
6164 | Had they left her alone, would it have been any different? |
6164 | Has your precious folly extinguished them? |
6164 | Her brother Bill talked and threatened-- of what avail was it? |
6164 | How are these people to be got at? |
6164 | How are you going to capture people who blow themselves into atoms in order to shatter the frame of a Czar? |
6164 | How is it to be distributed and placed in the hands of the people? |
6164 | How should he sell any, pray, when he does not put the right sort into his window? |
6164 | I wonder whether the man ever thought, as he reposed at noontide on a couch of grass under the hedge? |
6164 | IV PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION When you have got your village library ready, how is it to be sold? |
6164 | If so, why should not other books adapted to the villager''s wishes be on sale at a similar price in the country? |
6164 | Is not theirs the preferable portion? |
6164 | Is not this the most seductive of all characters in women? |
6164 | Now, has not the farmer, even if covered by insurance, good reason to dread this horrible incendiarism? |
6164 | Of course in winter it often happens that a flock of wild- fowl alight in passing; but how long do they stay? |
6164 | Presently some one will ask,"Have you found a wicker''s nest?" |
6164 | Put suddenly face to face with the transparent material which repelled him, what was he to think? |
6164 | So, 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? |
6164 | That was all he knew of the Caesars: the apples were in fine bloom now, were n''t they? |
6164 | The barrack- like Hotel des Invalides, the tomb of Napoleon-- was ever a tomb so miserably lacking in all that should inspire a reverential feeling? |
6164 | The little lawn beside the strawberry bed, burned brown there, and green towards the house shadow, holds how many myriad grass- blades? |
6164 | The marble tub in which the urn is sunk, the gilded chapel, and the yellow windows-- could anything be more artificial and less appropriate? |
6164 | The next point is, Where does he hover? |
6164 | The petty ripples of the Adriatic, what were they? |
6164 | The real question is, how many breed? |
6164 | The stoop, the dress which clothed, but responded to no curve, the sunken breast, and the sightless eye, how should he recognise these? |
6164 | Three words, and where is the thought? |
6164 | Venice has been made human by poet, painter, and dramatist, yet what was Venice to this-- this the Fact of our own day? |
6164 | Was he not satisfied even yet? |
6164 | What can be more explicit, and at the same time so aggravating, as to be told that you are a"mix- muddle"? |
6164 | What have the sober mass of the working class to do with it? |
6164 | What then is the cause? |
6164 | What was the use of compelling him to do that? |
6164 | What was there in Venice to arouse thoughts such as spring from the sight of this red bowsprit? |
6164 | Where are the water- fowl? |
6164 | Where is the kingfisher? |
6164 | Where soon will be the water- lilies? |
6164 | Who can doubt that the wild fowl come south because the north is frozen over? |
6164 | Who knows what big processes of reasoning, dim and big, passed through his mind in the summer days? |
6164 | Why are the rooks afraid of the little boy with the clapper? |
6164 | Why did not the father interfere? |
6164 | Why does not a painter come here and place the real romance of these things upon canvas, as Venice has been placed? |
6164 | Why is the basking jack off the instant he hears the light step of a man? |
6164 | Why omit fifty years from the picture? |
6164 | Why, then, does the crow live on? |
44000 | 106, C and D) alone of all the nerves in the body take the peculiar position it always does take? |
44000 | 108.--_Phrynus sp._(?). |
44000 | But if the infundibulum was the old oesophagus, what then? |
44000 | Can we obtain any clear conception of the original function of this whole system of sense- organs? |
44000 | Do the advocates of the origin of vertebrates from Balanoglossus give the slightest reason for it? |
44000 | Does the history of evolution pick out any particular organ or group of organs as more necessary than another for upward progress? |
44000 | For what purpose might such a tube have been formed? |
44000 | How are the nervous elements grouped round this tube when it is first formed? |
44000 | How can we identify it when it first arises? |
44000 | How does an excretory organ change its character when it ceases{ 419}to excrete to the exterior? |
44000 | How does it terminate ventrally? |
44000 | How is it, then, that this theory has been discredited and lost ground? |
44000 | How, then, did the vertebrate heart arise? |
44000 | If the germ- layer theory is no longer credited, upon what fundamental laws is embryology based? |
44000 | If, then, these cells were not retained for digestive purposes, what was their function? |
44000 | If, then, this tissue of Pteraspis is not to be looked upon as chitin, how can we imagine its formation? |
44000 | In the first place, have we any right to attribute segmental value to the mandibular nerve? |
44000 | Is it possible for embryology to recapitulate such a phylogenetic history more clearly than is here the case? |
44000 | Is it possible from their structure to obtain any clue as to the actual passage from the palæostracan to the vertebrate? |
44000 | Is it possible to find out its function in Ammocoetes? |
44000 | Is it possible to lay down any laws of evolution? |
44000 | Is there anatomical evidence that the ganglia of origin of the oculomotor and trochlear nerves represent many ganglia? |
44000 | Is there no significance in this statement of Shipley? |
44000 | Is there really evidence of any part of either retina or optic nerve being formed from the epithelial lining of the tube? |
44000 | Next comes the question, why was the pronephros not repeated in the meristic repetition that took place during the early vertebrate stage? |
44000 | The decision does not rest upon the answer to the question, Are these cells in reality the invaginated cells of a single- celled blastula? |
44000 | To which category does its lining membrane belong? |
44000 | We can, however, go further than this, and ask how this cartilage itself is formed in Ammocoetes? |
44000 | What about the infundibulum? |
44000 | What about the seventh pair, the chilaria of Limulus? |
44000 | What are its characteristics? |
44000 | What are the guiding principles in this investigation? |
44000 | What are the lines of investigation most likely to meet with success? |
44000 | What can be said as to the shape of these ancient forms of fishes? |
44000 | What conclusion can we form as to the probable origin of the upper lip of Ammocoetes? |
44000 | What evidence is there as to the origin of the bony skeleton in the vertebrate phylum itself? |
44000 | What evidence is there of segments in this region in Ammocoetes? |
44000 | What information is there of the nature of the earliest vertebrate? |
44000 | What is the evidence as to its nature in these vertebrate median eyes? |
44000 | What is the interpretation of this appearance? |
44000 | What is the morphological criterion by which hypoblast can be distinguished from epiblast, or mesoblast from either? |
44000 | What is the nature of this transformation process as described by Kupffer? |
44000 | What is the structure of this head- shield? |
44000 | What is the teaching of the vertebrate? |
44000 | What kind of fishes were they, and what was the predominant race at the time? |
44000 | What should we look for in our search after the lost coxal glands? |
44000 | What vertebrate must be chosen for investigation? |
44000 | What, in fact, caused the disappearance of the metasomatic appendages, and the formation of the smooth body- surface of the fish? |
44000 | What, then, are the optic diverticula? |
44000 | What, then, are these tubular muscles in the velar folds? |
44000 | What, then, are these two groups of muscles? |
44000 | What, then, are these velar folds, and how is it that the tubular muscles of these two segments become the velar muscles? |
44000 | What, then, is a germinal layer? |
44000 | What, then, is its topographical position? |
44000 | What, then, is the interpretation of these various embryological and anatomical facts? |
44000 | What, then, is the nature of the coxal gland in the scorpions and Limulus? |
44000 | What, then, is the nature of the median eyes in the vertebrate? |
44000 | What, then, is the nature of the thyroid gland in Ammocoetes? |
44000 | What, then, is the notochord? |
44000 | What, then, is the opinion of morphologists as to the meaning of these external genital ducts? |
44000 | What, then, is the record of the rocks at the time of the first appearance of fish- like forms? |
44000 | What, then, is the thymus? |
44000 | What, then, is this muscular group? |
44000 | What, then, represents the olfactory antennæ in the scorpions? |
44000 | Where is the auditory organ? |
44000 | Where is there anything like it? |
44000 | Where, then, is the lens in these pineal eyes? |
44000 | Where, then, is this starting- point, this germ- band from which the whole embryo grows? |
44000 | Where, then, must we look for the palæostoma, or original mouth? |
44000 | Why should it be more well- marked? |
44000 | Why should the tube take this peculiar shape at its first formation? |
44000 | Why should there be this striking difference between the formation of the infra- infundibular region of the brain and that of the spinal cord? |
44000 | and further, also, What is the origin of these free cells? |
44000 | and( 2){ 462}Does it become a certain part of the definitive epithelial lining of the gut?" |
44000 | but to the question, Do these cells ultimately form the definitive alimentary canal? |
44000 | { 313}Is this prophecy borne out by the examination of Limulus? |
38629 | Lord 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?'' |
38629 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
38629 | But 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? |
38629 | By the way, would you object to send this and your answer to Hooker to be forwarded to me? |
38629 | Could I have a clean proof to send to Wallace? |
38629 | Could you tell me pretty soon what plants you can give me; and then I shall know what to order? |
38629 | D. to J. D. Hooker._ Down[ 1849- 50?]. |
38629 | Darwin to L. Jenyns._[138] Down[ 1845?]. |
38629 | Darwin?" |
38629 | Development is a better word, because more close to the cause of the fact? |
38629 | Do n''t you think so?... |
38629 | Do you believe( and I really should like to hear) that God_ designedly_ killed this man? |
38629 | Do you intend to follow out your views, and if so, would you like at some future time to have my few references and notes? |
38629 | Do you not think his having sent me this sketch ties my hands?... |
38629 | Do you recollect how you all tormented me about his beautiful tail?" |
38629 | Do you think any diamond beetle will ever give me so much pleasure as our old friend_ crux- major_?... |
38629 | Does he know at all of the subject of the book? |
38629 | Does not Lyell give some argument about varieties being difficult to keep[ true] on account of pollen from other plants? |
38629 | For how could you influence Jupiter Olympus and make him give three and a half columns to pure science? |
38629 | Have not some men a nice notion of experimentising? |
38629 | He adds that in the case of the author"the restless curiosity of the child to know the''what for?'' |
38629 | He 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?" |
38629 | He asked me at once,''Shall you bear being told that I want the cabin to myself-- when I want to be alone? |
38629 | He 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?" |
38629 | Here I enjoyed five[?] |
38629 | How gets on your book? |
38629 | How is your health? |
38629 | How much time have I lost by illness?" |
38629 | How soon shall I come to you in the morning? |
38629 | I find my old results about the astonishing sensitiveness of the nervous system(!?) |
38629 | I have had a letter telling me that seeds_ must_ have_ great_ power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands''? |
38629 | I 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? |
38629 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
38629 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
38629 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |
38629 | If you do refer to me at any length, can you send me a proof and I will return it to you at once? |
38629 | If you should happen to be_ acquainted_ with the author, for Heaven- sake tell me who he is? |
38629 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
38629 | In 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? |
38629 | Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?" |
38629 | Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body? |
38629 | Is it on his grandfather''s or his grandmother''s side that the ape ancestry comes in?'' |
38629 | Is it so? |
38629 | Is she ought but a pestilent abstraction, like dust cast in our eyes to obscure the workings of an Intelligent First Cause of all?" |
38629 | Is this not curious? |
38629 | It may well be asked how is it possible to reconcile this case with the theory of natural selection?" |
38629 | MY DEAR HOOKER,--What is the good of having a friend, if one may not boast to him? |
38629 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I inquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
38629 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
38629 | My difficulty is, why are caterpillars sometimes so beautifully and artistically coloured? |
38629 | Now what think you? |
38629 | Ought not these cases to make one very cautious when one doubts about the use of all parts? |
38629 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
38629 | Rice and peas and_ calavanses_ are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
38629 | Secondly, can you advise me whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |
38629 | Share profits, or what? |
38629 | This is the true way to solve a problem? |
38629 | Thus he wrote to Sir J. D. Hooker( 1847? |
38629 | Two questions naturally occur to one:( 1)--When and how did Darwin become convinced that species are mutable? |
38629 | We all admit development as a fact of history: but how came it about? |
38629 | We all laughed heartily over some of the sentences.... Who can it be? |
38629 | What are her image and attributes, when dragged from her wordy lurking- place? |
38629 | What is Erasmus''s direction? |
38629 | What is the dose? |
38629 | What makes a tuft of feathers come on a cock''s head, or moss on a moss- rose? |
38629 | What on earth shall you do with your boys? |
38629 | What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon? |
38629 | When a sentence became hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what_ do_ you want to say?" |
38629 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
38629 | Who can the author be? |
38629 | Who is she? |
38629 | Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by_ return of post_, saying whether you are now at Cambridge? |
38629 | Will you think over this, and some time, either by letter or when we meet, tell me what you think?... |
38629 | Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? |
38629 | Would 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? |
38629 | Would it not be better at least to share the £ 72 8s.? |
38629 | Would not the Zoological Society be the best place? |
38629 | Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness, existed in the moon? |
38629 | You 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?] |
38629 | and the''how?'' |
38629 | the''why?'' |
31710 | ''How far will it throw a ball?'' |
31710 | ''Mind opening the gate, you?'' |
31710 | ''Who''s that?'' |
31710 | ''Why is it,''he asks,''that this cry arises that agriculture will not pay?... |
31710 | ''Will you come on and take a glass?'' |
31710 | ''You want a good, useful gun, sir, I presume?'' |
31710 | A farmer may say,''But suppose the man who has my cottage will not work for me?'' |
31710 | Accustomed to bite and eat its way through hard leaves, why did not the insect snip off and destroy its rope? |
31710 | An exact dose of poison may be administered, but what comfort is it to the victim to assure him that it was accurately measured to a minim? |
31710 | And why not? |
31710 | And, further, will they do so sufficiently to enable the agriculturist to meet the ever- increasing weight which presses on him? |
31710 | Anyone by good fortune and labour may acquire wealth, and would naturally wish to purchase land: is he then guilty? |
31710 | Are not these few pictures sufficient to show beyond a cavil that the agriculture of this country exhibits the strangest inequalities? |
31710 | Are not these striking pictures, remarkable contrasts? |
31710 | Are you and I anxious that ten thousand other persons should shoot with guns exactly, precisely like ours in every single particular? |
31710 | At present, who, pray, has the power of so much as convening a meeting of the parishioners, or of taking the sense of the village? |
31710 | At the present moment, what interest has an ordinary agricultural labourer in the affairs of his own village? |
31710 | Beyond the star- stratum, what? |
31710 | But how manage without the poor- law system? |
31710 | But is slaughter everything? |
31710 | But set to work at what? |
31710 | But that''s very cheap, is n''t it?'' |
31710 | But why can not the squire step in and do all that is wanted? |
31710 | But why should there not be a tank, the public property of the village, and why should not teams take it in turn? |
31710 | By- the- by, where is your shooting, sir?'' |
31710 | CHOOSING 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? |
31710 | Can an owner of this kind of property be permitted to refuse to sell? |
31710 | Can anything be substituted for wages? |
31710 | Did anyone ever see such a helpless set as that yonder? |
31710 | Do not gentlemen on the Exchange use technical terms? |
31710 | Does it not seem a very serious matter that so large a piece of land should remain idle for that length of time? |
31710 | Does it not, in great measure, arise from this very desultory life-- from this procrastinating dislike to active exertion? |
31710 | For ever anxious and labouring for perfection, shall the soul, convinced of the divinity of its work, halt and turn aside to fall into imperfection? |
31710 | For instance, to the population of an inland village, what would be more delightful than a few hours on the sea- beach? |
31710 | Has he got that bit of money that was coming to him? |
31710 | He can always test the value of their object by the question of wages and food--''How will it affect my wages and food?'' |
31710 | He will go further and say,''Why should I not settle these things at home? |
31710 | He 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?'' |
31710 | How can it be otherwise? |
31710 | How 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? |
31710 | How is livelihood--_i.e._, wages-- to be found for it? |
31710 | How many may there be in this herd? |
31710 | How many prosecutions have taken place under it? |
31710 | How many turtle- doves in spring in the hedges and outlying thickets, in summer among the shocks of corn? |
31710 | How many villages have so much as a reading- room? |
31710 | How many wood- pigeons are there in the South Wood alone, besides the copses and the fir- plantations? |
31710 | How then? |
31710 | If that great interest, the children of the parish, can be administered at home, why not the other and much less important interests? |
31710 | Is it all? |
31710 | Is it really so? |
31710 | Is 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? |
31710 | Is there a little vanity in that wanton flight? |
31710 | Is there anything so delicious as the first exploration of a great library-- alone-- unwatched? |
31710 | It is but a crumb tasted and gone: who should remember a crumb? |
31710 | Machinery and steam- power to drive it is, no doubt, a very heavy item; but are we so anxious for machinery and machine- made guns? |
31710 | May there not be light we can not see? |
31710 | Must he be compelled to sell? |
31710 | Must he be compelled to sell?'' |
31710 | Nerves out of order-- eh?'' |
31710 | Now, is not a large estate a living picture? |
31710 | Now, is there anything so aggravating as to be asked about your nerves? |
31710 | Now, why is Bartholomew doing his land better this year? |
31710 | Now, why is it that this cry arises that agriculture will not pay? |
31710 | On the cessation of the twelve shillings where is the labourer to find a substitute for it? |
31710 | On the oak- tree yonder, how many leaves are doing the same? |
31710 | Or rather, is it not formed of a hundred living pictures? |
31710 | Put the mind of man within the body of the caterpillar-- what more could it have done? |
31710 | Query, what colour is that? |
31710 | Shall the bitterness of the workhouse at last pass away? |
31710 | So the goldfinches rejoice in the sunshine, and who can sit within doors when they sing? |
31710 | Some farmer is likely to exclaim,''How can this be, when I can not get enough men when I want them?'' |
31710 | The leaf was folded in the tiny red- tipped bud-- now it has come forth how long must one ponder to fully appreciate it? |
31710 | The poor rate is no longer made at the Vestry; the church rate is a thing of the past; and what is then left? |
31710 | The question is, Will they do so to an extent sufficient to repay the outlay? |
31710 | The question will have to be asked: Is it better for this population to be practically nomad or settled? |
31710 | There is reason now, is there not, to dread the appearance of the money- lender? |
31710 | They are only material-- the sun sinks, darkness covers the hills, and where is their beauty then? |
31710 | Throughout the country there is an undoubted conviction that such extension is extremely desirable, but who is to take the initiative? |
31710 | We now govern our village ourselves; why should we not possess our village? |
31710 | What are those strange, clattering noises, like the sound of men fighting with wooden''backswords''? |
31710 | What did they know of the beam of light that shone on the sonorous lap of their statue Memnon? |
31710 | What has become of them? |
31710 | What has he before him? |
31710 | What is the meaning of this hieroglyph, which is repeated in a thousand thousand other ways and shapes, which meets us at every turn? |
31710 | What is the value of informing me that the''paupers''are properly looked after when I do not want any''paupers''? |
31710 | What is there in the present condition of agriculture to make farmer or landowner anxious that the existing system of things should continue? |
31710 | What is there that the landowner is not expected to do? |
31710 | What more easy than to run a hose from it right to a stone trough, or dipping- place, in the centre of the village? |
31710 | What price shall I pay? |
31710 | What scope is there for work upon a stagnant dairy farm of one hundred and fifty acres? |
31710 | What then? |
31710 | What would any manufacturer think of a business in which he was compelled to let his engines rest for a third of the year? |
31710 | When ten or fifteen thousand acres of land fall out of cultivation, and farmers leave, what is to become of the labouring families they kept? |
31710 | Where can I get it? |
31710 | Why does a cabinet minister labour the year through as hard as a miner? |
31710 | Why does a lawyer work as no navvy works? |
31710 | Why have not these cottages and allotments produced their expected effect? |
31710 | Why is this? |
31710 | Why not, when the country is nothing but land? |
31710 | Why 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? |
31710 | Why should he not be supplied with a motive for united action? |
31710 | Why should not the agricultural labourers have a trip? |
31710 | Why should not the labourer be made to feel an interest in the welfare, the prosperity, and progress of his own village? |
31710 | Why should they not be? |
31710 | Why should we not have a little share in the land, as much, at least, as we can pay for? |
31710 | Why should we not have a little share in the land, as much, at least, as we can pay for?... |
31710 | Why should we not live in our own houses? |
31710 | Why should we not live in our own houses? |
31710 | Why was it that for so many hundreds of years the population of England remained nearly stationary? |
31710 | Without homes, how can its ranks ever become firm and solid again? |
31710 | Wonder how much the trainer pocketed over that transaction? |
31710 | Wonder if a gang of American labourers could make anything out of our farms? |
31710 | Would he be eager to sink his capital in such an enterprise? |
31710 | Yet even this almost immortal sun had a beginning-- perhaps emerging as a ball of incandescent gas from chaos: how long ago was that? |
31710 | Yet 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? |
31710 | and why has it so marvellously increased in this last forty years? |
31710 | and why is it that the farmer only picks up 8 per cent.? |
31710 | and, if he did so, would it be tolerated for an instant? |
15997 | Have you put them all right? |
15997 | Look at that one-- is it set out evenly? |

15997 | *****_ 5 Westbourne Grove Terrace, W. January 31,[ 1865? |
15997 | *****_ Holly House, Barking, E. May 14, 1871._ Dear Darwin,--Have you read that very remarkable book"The Fuel of the Sun"? |
15997 | After stating a number of practical examples he continues: The question forces itself upon every thinking mind-- Why are these things so? |
15997 | Again, as to the saline solution without nitrogen, would not the air supply what was required? |
15997 | Also, I want to know whether your_ female_ mimetic butterfly is more beautiful and brighter than the male? |
15997 | Am I not right in inferring that this must have been introduced and run wild? |
15997 | Are either of these more worthy of reward on that account than the others? |
15997 | Are not you mistaken about the Sphagnum? |
15997 | August 16,[ 1868? |
15997 | August 30,[ 1868? |
15997 | But can you account for the males not having been rendered equally brilliant and equally protected? |
15997 | But do you think these things are of much importance? |
15997 | But suppose beforehand they all know or suspect that those who say"Not guilty"will be punished and the rest rewarded: what is likely to be the result? |
15997 | By the way, did Mr. Youmans, of the United States, apply to you to write a popular sketch of Natural Selection? |
15997 | By the way, have you read Tylor and Lecky? |
15997 | By what means, then, did illegitimate unions ever become sterile? |
15997 | Can he draw( not copy)? |
15997 | Can he make anything? |
15997 | Can he saw a piece of board straight? |
15997 | Can he saw a piece of wood straight? |
15997 | Can he speak French? |
15997 | Can he walk twenty miles a day? |
15997 | Can you really change your opinion and belief, for the hope of reward or the fear of punishment? |
15997 | Can you tell me positively that black jaguars or leopards are believed generally or always to pair with black? |
15997 | Did you think they were too obvious? |
15997 | Do they not teach us something of the system of nature? |
15997 | Do you intend to follow out your views, and if so would you like at some future time to have my few references and notes? |
15997 | Do you make any progress with your Journal of travels? |
15997 | Do you not admire our friend Miss Buckley''s admirable article in_ Macmillan_? |

15997 | I suppose you have read Lubbock? |

31708 | And so you''re only going to love me for the summer? |
31708 | And what about me? |
31708 | And what about your own conscience, as the father of such an enormous progeny? |

31708 | But how did you escape from him? |
31708 | But will you admit that I was right? 31708 But you wo n''t hurt me, will you?" |

31708 | Dear me, is that you, Goody Cray- Fish? |
31708 | Did you ever see anything like it? |
31708 | Did you hear? |
31708 | Did your husband help you build the parlour? |
31708 | Do n''t you hatch them? |

31708 | How can you say that life is not delightful? |

31708 | How long does it last with you? 31708 How on earth did they come up here from the sea?" |
31708 | How on earth did you escape? |
31708 | If you''re tired of it, why did you do it? |
31708 | Is he no longer with you, then?... 31708 Is it true, Goody Cray- Fish?" |
31708 | Is n''t it charming? |
31708 | Is n''t it lovely? |
31708 | Is that my leg? |
31708 | May I ask, were there no reed- warblers? |
31708 | May I look at you a little? |
31708 | Oh, are you? |
31708 | Oh, have you pearls? 31708 Oh, really?" |
31708 | Oh, really? |

31708 | So you can eat two hundred water- mites at a time? |
31708 | The mussel? |
31708 | The what?... |
31708 | Then how did you come here? |
31708 | Well, what is it? |
31708 | Well? |
31708 | Were you caught? 31708 What am I to say?" |
31708 | What are we to do now? |
31708 | What are we to do with the poor little wretch? |
31708 | What are you thinking of? |
31708 | What did they say? |
31708 | What did you do then? |
31708 | What do you propose, then? |
31708 | What do you want, you ugly cray- fish? |
31708 | What good would it do if I thought of you? 31708 What harm can happen to you?" |
31708 | What''s going to happen now? |

31708 | Would you mind telling me, ma''am? |
31708 | Yes, why not, if they taste good? |
31708 | Yes... is n''t that a child too? |
31708 | You do n''t surely imagine that you''re a bird? |
31708 | You never saw your wife? |
31708 | You were looking down at me, were n''t you? |
31708 | _ Was?_asked Mrs. Reed- Warbler. |
31708 | And how have you done?" |
31708 | And what need have I to meddle with women''s work? |
31708 | And what was I to do with him? |
31708 | And why, pray, madam?" |
31708 | Are n''t you almost ready?" |
31708 | But Mrs. Reed- Warbler ran down the reed and peered into the dark water:"Are you there, my little grub?" |

31708 | Can you fly?" |
31708 | Did you hear anything about well- bred people in this place expressing such a wish?" |
31708 | Did you notice the eel the other day? |
31708 | Do you really believe she eats her children?" |
31708 | Do you think it''s to be depended on?" |
31708 | Do you want one of your little legs amputated, eh?" |
31708 | How can any one care to look at a beggar like you? |
31708 | I do n''t know if I told you that I possess that peculiarity?" |
31708 | I find it so difficult to understand the domestic conditions of the lower classes.... Perhaps you do n''t even know where he is?" |
31708 | I have quite a nice place, have n''t I? |
31708 | I have twenty- one pairs of legs and he knows it: how many has he?" |
31708 | I presume you go away in the autumn?" |
31708 | Meanwhile, may I ask you if you would kindly try to remove the brute with your beak? |
31708 | Mrs. Reed- Warbler glanced at him kindly:"What''s your name, you pretty flower?" |
31708 | She ran to the reed and looked into the water:"Are you there, my little grub?" |
31708 | Surely, ma''am, you do n''t believe that mean carp who was here the other day? |
31708 | The 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?" |
31708 | Then I become furious and I pinch.... Hullo, are you there again, Goody Cray- Fish? |
31708 | They 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?" |
31708 | Well, did she taste nice?" |
31708 | Well, madam, what did I tell you?" |
31708 | Were you about to be skinned?" |
31708 | What about the eel, ma''am, for instance?" |
31708 | What did you do that for, dear friend? |
31708 | What is a stickleback, I ask you? |
31708 | What shall I do? |
31708 | What shall I do?" |
31708 | Where are they? |
31708 | Would you care to see?..." |
31708 | Would you like to see it?" |
31708 | Would 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?" |
31708 | asked the cray- fish,"do n''t you think a body might get away from the pond?" |
31708 | said Mrs. Reed- Warbler--"tell me, did you really eat your children?" |
5792 | Do? |
5792 | Why do n''t you come out of them, and travel about to see the world? |
5792 | --"Out of myself?" |
5792 | A thousand such, had they not said? |
5792 | And have you ever noticed how gracefully these great companies are arranged? |
5792 | And 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? |
5792 | And now can you tell me what Alba''s rustic cradle was, and who were his cousins Rubra and Coccinea? |
5792 | And now shall we see where the dwarf led him, and where the fairy, and what was actually done in the underground tour? |
5792 | And now should you like to see how little May Warner helps them in even a better way? |
5792 | And then how could they show their gratitude to the dear father who had taken such pains to prepare this wonderful house for them? |
5792 | And what are the pretty green islands, with their clusters of trees and grassy slopes, but the summits of hills lifted out of the water? |
5792 | And, now, who is Nannie? |
5792 | Are n''t your feet fed? |
5792 | Are we all ready for our little game? |
5792 | But do you imagine that sensible children, after one such discovery, would rest satisfied? |
5792 | But what are these two strange articles of food? |
5792 | But what should he build with? |
5792 | Can you think how tenderly and carefully they are taken on board, fed with broth and wine, and nursed back into health and strength? |
5792 | Come, Mary, what has Philadelphia for San Francisco? |
5792 | Did you ever fall asleep on the floor, and, waking, find yourself aching and stiff because it was so hard? |
5792 | Did you notice the great pillars of coal that are left to uphold the roof? |
5792 | Do n''t you remember how we used to go out last summer every morning before breakfast to bring in the corn? |
5792 | Do n''t you see how many uses we have found for this refuse coal- tar? |
5792 | Do you know what buttresses are? |
5792 | Do you remember our old friend the star- fish? |
5792 | Do you see how the good Father teaches all his creatures to help each other? |
5792 | Do you think now that you know how the pond looks in the sunshine of this May morning? |
5792 | Do you think the kingdoms of air and water can send her a pair? |
5792 | Do you think there are any children who would have made the people less happy by being there? |
5792 | Do you understand now how the asters live in communities? |
5792 | Do you want to know what kind of a tree? |
5792 | Do you wonder that the men and women are watching eagerly? |
5792 | Do you wonder when I say the foot must be fed? |
5792 | Do you wonder? |
5792 | GOLDEN- ROD AND ASTERS Do you know that flowers, as well as people, live in families? |
5792 | Have 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? |
5792 | Have you seen already that it is only coal, and do you wonder that I think it is so precious? |
5792 | Here the little feet answered promptly,"You want to build, do you? |
5792 | How did it happen, and what does it mean? |
5792 | How do you like this little circular town seen in the picture? |
5792 | My foot, did you say? |
5792 | NANNIE''S RUN Can you imagine a beautiful oval- shaped bay, almost encircled by a long arm of sand stretching out from the mainland? |
5792 | No feet, does he say? |
5792 | No, do you say? |
5792 | Now, are you curious to know what this treasure is? |
5792 | Now, where do you suppose they came from, and how did little Scotch Jeanie come into possession of such a treasure? |
5792 | Poor little things, their useless lives had ended, and what good had they done in the world? |
5792 | Pulling off his wisp of a cap, and making a grotesque little bow, he asked,"Will you take a guide for the under- world tour?" |
5792 | Shall we leave the feet to travel their own way for a while, and see where the fairy has led the little hand? |
5792 | Should you like to know? |
5792 | Should you think the black coal could ever undergo such a change as to come out in the form of these white candles? |
5792 | THE CARRYING TRADE Who wants to engage in the carrying trade? |
5792 | THE INDIANS What will Nannie do now? |
5792 | Then 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?" |
5792 | This served for a hint to curious men, to make them ask"What is this?" |
5792 | WHAT THE FROST GIANTS DID TO NANNIE''S RUN THE FROST GIANTS Do you believe in giants? |
5792 | What are they watching for? |
5792 | What did my father mean this for? |
5792 | What does the peach- tree regard as most precious? |
5792 | What hangs there so soft and gray? |
5792 | What is that little rocky ledge, where the lighthouse stands, but the stony top of a hill rising from the bottom of the sea? |
5792 | What land have they discovered? |
5792 | What should we have done, if everybody had kept on burning wood to this day? |
5792 | What will the stream do now? |
5792 | When your hands or lips are cracked and rough from the cold, does your mother ever put on glycerin to heal them? |
5792 | Where is Roncador Bank, and who are the little settlers there? |
5792 | Where were the others? |
5792 | Who 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? |
5792 | Why did he give that so odd a shape, or so strange a covering? |
5792 | Why does n''t he begin to enjoy himself? |
5792 | Yes, but does Ruth want to eat earth?--do you?--does anybody? |
5792 | You know the roadside asters, purple and white, that bloom so plenteously all through the early autumn? |
5792 | and"What is it good for?" |
5792 | do n''t you see that all would begin to be discouraged? |
5792 | else how do they grow? |

38954 | And what does Harris say about him? |
38954 | And what was this travelling wheel called? |
38954 | And who shall say that our pretty fay is a myth, or her magic wand a wild creation of the fancy? |

38954 | But what on''t? |
38954 | But 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? |

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

6322 | Must it on this account be admitted, that the Caribbees are an entirely distinct race? |
6322 | Must 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? |

944 | And what becomes of these worms when, during the long summer, the surface is hardened into a solid layer of salt? |
944 | And will not the manner of its descend proclaim throughout the district to the whole family of carrion- feeders, that their prey is at hand? |
944 | But it may yet be asked, how has the solid basalt been moved? |
944 | But what has caused these reefs to spring up at such great distances from the shores of the included islands? |
944 | Can we believe that any power, acting for a time short of infinity, could have denuded the granite over so many thousand square leagues? |
944 | Did man, after his first inroad into South America, destroy, as has been suggested, the unwieldy Megatherium and the other Edentata? |

944 | Does it not arise from the difficulty of several females associating together, and finding a male ready to undertake the office of incubation? |

944 | I asked him if he had ever heard of the Avestruz Petise? |
944 | I asked,"Are they Indians?" |
944 | I 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?" |

944 | Is it not most wonderful that men should have attempted such operations, without the use of iron or gunpowder? |
944 | Is it not possible that the mixture of large bodies of fresh and salt water may disturb the electrical equilibrium? |
944 | Is this owing to the state of the body during sleep, or to a greater abundance of miasma at such times? |
944 | It was laughable, but almost pitiable, to hear him speak to his wild brother in English, and then ask him in Spanish("no sabe?") |
944 | Might it not thus readily be overlooked? |
944 | Mr. 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?" |

944 | Sir 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?" |
944 | They asked me,"Why do you not become a Christian-- for our religion is certain?" |
944 | Was he at a loss how to classify them, and did he consequently think that silence was the more prudent course? |
944 | Was this effect produced beneath the depths of a profound ocean? |

944 | What, it may naturally be asked, was the character of the vegetation at that period; was the country as wretchedly sterile as it now is? |

944 | Whilst beholding these savages, one asks, whence have they come? |
944 | Who 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? |

944 | Who would believe in this age that such atrocities could be committed in a Christian civilized country? |
944 | Who would ever have imagined that a little soft fish could have destroyed the great and savage shark? |
944 | Why have not the still more level, the greener and more fertile Pampas, which are serviceable to mankind, produced an equal impression? |
944 | Why, then, and the case is not peculiar to myself, have these arid wastes taken so firm a hold on my memory? |

39910 | And would not its presence there bear testimony to the lengthened ovipositor of the well- known brisk and busy fly, and to its remarkable habits? |
39910 | And yet what are the coal deposits, and what the oldest sandstone, compared to the entire mass of the strata? |
39910 | Are her efforts ineffectual? |
39910 | At his fiat it appears; but in what condition? |
39910 | At what stage of existence, then, could a bird, by possibility, have been created, which did not present distinct records of prochronic development? |
39910 | But how do you know that either of these organisms was created in this mature stage? |
39910 | But is it so? |
39910 | But is the case otherwise in the animal world? |
39910 | But is the life of_ the species_ a circle returning into itself? |
39910 | But is there no other alternative? |
39910 | But let us look at this strange cloth: what is it? |
39910 | But perhaps you may say, What evidence is there that these ever had any predecessors? |
39910 | But the red swimming atom;--whence came that? |
39910 | But what former conditions? |
39910 | But what is creation? |
39910 | But when did you ever see the gorgeous- eyed Peacock feeding on a nettle, or the White on a cabbage? |
39910 | But where was this flower? |
39910 | But, finding it so, the question naturally arises,--Why here, and not elsewhere? |
39910 | Can I do this? |
39910 | Can we find any clue to his age? |
39910 | Can you detect a flaw in this reasoning? |
39910 | Did you see him suddenly bow down his head and lay a brick on the top of the last course? |
39910 | Do you notice the frequent gulpings of the throat? |
39910 | Do you observe these two round fleshy leaves, just peeping from the sandy earth? |
39910 | Has not the physiologist irrefragable grounds for it, founded on universal experience? |
39910 | Has the combined experience of mankind ever seen a solitary exception to this law? |
39910 | Have they succeeded? |
39910 | Have 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? |
39910 | Have we here any clue to the past history of the plant? |
39910 | Have we, then, got rid of the evidence of past time, which we deduced from the successive changes through which the adult had passed? |
39910 | Here, then, are no dead leaf- bases; here are no old historical scars:--have we any evidence of past time here? |
39910 | How can they be accounted for? |
39910 | How far can we ascertain its chronology? |
39910 | How many years have these tusks occupied in attaining their present diameter and length? |
39910 | In the first pair of developed leaves? |
39910 | Is not this a case of surgical instruments enough to make you shudder? |
39910 | Is not this an awful array of knives and lancets? |
39910 | Is not this an evidence of age? |
39910 | Is there not? |
39910 | May they not have been entire?" |
39910 | May we say six thousand years? |
39910 | Now 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? |
39910 | Now, where shall we find it? |
39910 | Shall we accept the_ antediluvian_, or the_ diluvian_ stratification? |
39910 | Shall we multiply it by 100? |
39910 | Shall we trace it back a little farther? |
39910 | Shall we try to estimate the number of polypes that have been occupied in building this tree? |
39910 | So far, then, we can with certainty trace back the history of this being, as an independent organism; but did his history then commence? |
39910 | So says the physiologist; but is he not most egregiously in error, since this is the day of these lovely beings''creation? |
39910 | The latter we have seen to be a fact: is the former an impossibility? |
39910 | The_ 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? |
39910 | There are certainly no concentric cylinders of timber here: can we trace a previous history of this? |
39910 | This single infolding leaf, that is just shooting from the soil, so small and feeble,--what of this? |
39910 | Very true: but what if the tramp had locked up his clock- work, and would not let you look at it? |
39910 | Was a given drop of water created as a component particle of a running stream? |
39910 | Was it called into being in the spring? |
39910 | Was it created in the cloud? |
39910 | Was it created in the lake? |
39910 | Was it formed on the surface? |
39910 | Was the navel of the created Man intended to deceive him into the persuasion that he had had a parent? |
39910 | Was this the commencement of its existence? |
39910 | Were the concentric timber- rings of a created tree formed merely to deceive? |
39910 | Were the growth lines of a created shell intended to deceive? |
39910 | What can be more irresistible than such evidence as this? |
39910 | What can we make of his dentition? |
39910 | What else could good men do? |
39910 | What has made this tube? |

39910 | What is it? |
39910 | What is the explanation of these marks? |
39910 | What is the glorious train of the Peacock, all filled with eyes, but a false witness of the same kind? |

39910 | What period of time was requisite for the aggregation of coral structure to the perpendicular thickness of 2,500 feet? |
39910 | What says the physiologist, who is able to read off these autographic records? |

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

1909 | Intelligent missionaries of bygone days used to ply savages with questions such as these: Had they any belief in God? |
1909 | Is it possible that the significant deviations which we know as"individual variations"can form the beginning of a process of selection? |
1909 | Is not, then, the problem of knowledge solved by the evolution hypothesis? |
1909 | Is religion then entirely a delusion? |
1909 | Is 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? |
1909 | Is there not a word"bad"in English and a word"bad"in Persian which mean the same thing? |
1909 | Is this the last word of human thought? |
1909 | It is more important to ask, Why do these two worlds join? |
1909 | It is not enough to hope( or fear?) |
1909 | It is quite true that a similar substance covered the scales of the Reptiles, but why should it not have arisen among them through selection? |
1909 | It 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? |
1909 | May not our present ideas of the universality and precision of Adaptation be greatly exaggerated? |
1909 | Of what use to the diamond is its high specific gravity and high refrangibility, and to gold of its yellow colour and great weight? |
1909 | Old men will reproach young men saying"Why do you not go to work?" |
1909 | Or have we chanced upon an eddy in a backwater, opposed to the main stream of advance? |

1909 | So Wangi climbed up the tree to ask Wailan Wangko,"How now? |
1909 | That question was,''What is a species?'' |
1909 | The question is brought home to us when we ask what is a bud- sport, such as a nectarine appearing on a peach- tree? |
1909 | The question is sometimes asked, Do the new lights on Variation and Heredity make the process of Evolution easier to understand? |
1909 | The question is, then, if it has forms in which there is room for the new matter? |
1909 | The real question is, Do they ever produce sterile offspring? |
1909 | They are based on instinctive foundations ingrained in the nervous constitution through natural( or may we not say sexual?) |
1909 | They belong to four different genera and three sub- families, and we have to inquire: Whence came this resemblance and what end does it serve? |
1909 | This at once raises the much discussed question, how far garden- cultivation has led to the creation of new races? |
1909 | This is unmistakably apparent from a letter to Fritz Muller dated February 22( 1869? |
1909 | This life- power IS something; does it live in his heart or his lungs or his midriff? |
1909 | To Darwin the question, What is a variation? |
1909 | To quote a single example; I may put the question, what internal changes produce a transition from vegetative growth to sexual reproduction? |
1909 | To this we must agree; but, it may be asked, do the general means of plant dispersal violate so obvious a principle? |
1909 | To use a phrase of Romanes, can they have SELECTION- VALUE? |
1909 | To what extent have the results of this vast activity fulfilled the expectations of the workers who have achieved them? |
1909 | Turning to the other end of the radium series we are led to ask what becomes of radium- F when in turn it disintegrates? |
1909 | Vaguely 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? |
1909 | Was it his breath? |
1909 | What are the forms which surround them? |
1909 | What are these variations in structure which succeed one another in the life- history of an organism? |

1909 | Whence comes the idea that all measures inspired by the sentiment of solidarity are contrary to Nature''s trend? |
1909 | Who is here the breeder, making the selection, choosing out one individual to bring forth offspring and rejecting others? |
1909 | Why then is it so often entirely restricted to the female? |
1909 | Why then should we feel content with the first hypothesis and not with the second? |
1909 | Why was the migration of northern creatures southwards of far- reaching and most significant importance? |
1909 | Why were the necessary variations always present? |
1909 | Why, then, was it, that Darwin succeeded where the rest had failed? |
1909 | Would those whom such conclusions repelled be content to oppose to nature''s imperatives only the protests of the heart? |
1909 | about 40 years no rays Radium- E? |

7030 | Have they begun where human civilisation may be said to have ended, with a diligent study of parasitic life? |
7030 | Have they worn out all the hopes and fears of the human heart in tens of thousands of years, and do they merely live, acquiescent to fate? |

7030 | If any one asks, is the application of Art to the chase really so old, so very very old, as this? |
7030 | If so, how did the swallows know beforehand, without coming, that there were no insects for them? |
7030 | Is it really blue, or an illusion? |
7030 | Is not the swallow''s eye a miracle? |

5226 | or the pure Irish? |
23427 | ''Habit,''says the proverb,''is a second nature''; what possible meaning can this proverb have, if descent with modification is unfounded? 23427 Are we then to recognize no opinions as well founded but those which are generally received? |
23427 | Beats not the bell again?--Heavens, do I wake? 23427 But what are we to say of instinct? |
23427 | Did this cold hand, unasking Want relieve, Or wake the lyre to every rapturous sound? 23427 From those cold lips did softest accents flow? |
23427 | How many animals are there not which lack sense and limbs? 23427 I ask by what means are the anthers in many flowers and stigmas in other flowers directed to find their paramours? |
23427 | Shall we then say that the vegetable living filament was originally different from that of each tribe of animals above described? 23427 To speak seriously,"( au réel) he says( and why this, if he had always spoken seriously? |
23427 | What author,he asks,"has ever pronounced more decidedly than Buffon in favour of the invariability of species? |
23427 | Where can our many domestic breeds of dogs be found in a wild state? 23427 Which,"asks Mr. Spencer,"is the most rational theory about these ten millions of species? |
23427 | [ 200] Who can tell what ideas a worm does or does not form? 23427 [ 229]"What, then,"continues Lamarck,"can be the cause of all this? |
23427 | [ 320] How, let me ask again, isthe case of neuter insects""demonstrative"against the"well- known"theory put forward in the foregoing chapter? |
23427 | [ 42] Can we suppose that Buffon really saw no more connection than this? 23427 [ 81] Does it not look as if Dr. Darwin had in his mind the very passage of Buffon which I have been last quoting? |
23427 | [ 96] What, then, asks Buffon,_ is_ the use of the brain? 23427 _ Is there only one living principle? |
23427 | ''Nay, Madam,''was the answer,''what are fifteen years on the right side?'' |
23427 | ..."How then can we detect the characters of the original race? |
23427 | : a slit in one tendon to let another tendon pass through it? |
23427 | And does not your favourite dog expect you should give him his daily food for his services and attention to you? |
23427 | And that the productive living filament of each of those tribes was different from the other? |
23427 | And those in which, after having admitted variability and declared in favour of it, he proceeds to limit it? |
23427 | And thus barters his love for your protection? |
23427 | And what is that situation? |
23427 | And where, again, is your designer of beasts and birds, of fishes, and of plants?" |
23427 | Are they the diverging ramifications of the living principle under modification of circumstance? |
23427 | As all our ideas are originally received by our senses, the question may be changed to whether vegetables possess any organs of sense? |
23427 | Assuredly, 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? |
23427 | But assuredly if this theory[ the theory of descent with modification or that of"natural selection"?] |
23427 | But how about plants? |
23427 | But if he does not mean this, what becomes of natural selection? |
23427 | But may not this inference be presumptuous? |
23427 | But who objects to an author speaking of the attraction of gravity? |
23427 | Can this be effected by any specific attraction? |
23427 | Can we suppose that all the tricks, cunning, artifices, precautions, patience, and skill of animals are due to evolution only? |
23427 | Can you show him more than I can? |
23427 | Come, doctor, whither must we go; what must we investigate to- morrow, and the next day, and the next? |
23427 | Concede what you please to these arbitrary and unattested superstitions, how will they help you? |
23427 | Darwin?" |
23427 | Does not such a consequence, I ask,_ prove repugnant alike to religion and common sense_? |
23427 | Does not this involve the power of comparing dates, and the idea of a coming future, an''_ inquiétude raisonnée_''? |
23427 | For how can a part which can not feel-- a soft inactive substance like the brain-- be the very organ of perception and movement? |
23427 | For, what real knowledge can be drawn from an isolated pursuit? |
23427 | Have they been narrated by men of intelligence and philosophers, or are they popular fables only?" |
23427 | Have we any right to declare that the Creator works by intellectual powers like those of man? |
23427 | Hence, when Mr. Darwin continues,"Who ever objected to chemists speaking of the elective affinities of the various elements? |
23427 | How do either of them know that the other exists in their vicinity? |
23427 | How many millions of germs has he not committed to the earth, before she has rewarded him by producing them? |
23427 | How much natural history is likely to be found in such a lumber room? |
23427 | How recognize the effects produced by climate, food,& c.? |
23427 | How will our philosopher get at vision or make an eye? |
23427 | How, again, distinguish these from those other effects which come from the intermixture of races, either when wild or in a state of domestication? |
23427 | I dare not, lest--''''Emma, will you? |
23427 | If the conditions of life have not varied, why should the species subjected to those conditions have done so? |
23427 | If this part is not the source of our powers of motion, why is it so necessary and so essential? |
23427 | In"Life and Habit,"I said:"To the end of time, if the question be asked,''Who taught people to believe in Evolution?'' |
23427 | Is Pantheism to absorb Rome, and, if so, what sort of a religious formula is to be the result? |
23427 | Is he a man of letters making fun of science? |
23427 | Is he a teleological theologian making fun of evolution? |
23427 | Is he an evolutionist making fun of teleology? |
23427 | Is he to be taken at his word? |
23427 | Is it most likely that there have been ten millions of special creations? |
23427 | Is it possible that Lamarck was in some measure misled by believing Buffon to be in earnest when he advanced propositions little less monstrous? |
23427 | Is it so very much to hope that ere many years are over the approximation will become closer still? |
23427 | Is not this to praise with faint damnation? |
23427 | Is the mere power of feeling sensations sufficient to make them garner up food during the summer, on which food they may subsist in winter? |
23427 | Is this curious kind of storge produced by mechanic attraction, or by the sensation of love? |
23427 | Is this merely through want of training? |
23427 | It may be asked, Why have a Church at all? |
23427 | Must we not see here the design of an all- powerful Creator? |
23427 | Of what date are those in which Buffon declares for variability? |
23427 | On this account it may be well to ask the question, what, after all,_ is_''Natural Selection''? |
23427 | On this dull cheek the rose of beauty blow, And those dim eyes diffuse celestial day? |
23427 | Or is he a master of pure irony making fun of all three, and of his audience as well? |
23427 | Or of the subtilty of owls, which husband their store of mice by biting off their feet, so that they can not run away? |
23427 | Or, suppose the eye formed, would the perception follow? |
23427 | Round that pale mouth did sweetest dimples play? |
23427 | Should it not be enough that they do not injure each other nor stand in the way of each other''s fair development? |
23427 | The fact has long been familiar; how has it been reconciled with infinite wisdom? |
23427 | The horse, for example-- what can at first sight seem more unlike mankind? |
23427 | Then 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"? |
23427 | This discourse is entirely devoted to the consideration of the question,"What is Species?" |
23427 | This leads us to a curious inquiry, whether vegetables have ideas of external things? |
23427 | What can be more widely contrasted than a newly- born child, and the small, semi- transparent gelatinous spherule constituting the human ovum? |
23427 | What difference can we not see in this respect between civilized and uncivilized races, between the peasant girl, and the woman of the world? |
23427 | What does the fact imply? |
23427 | What induces the bee, who lives on honey, to lay up vegetable powder for its young? |
23427 | What induces the butterfly to lay its eggs on leaves when itself feeds on honey?... |
23427 | What inference could be more aptly drawn? |
23427 | What was it that repelled him in Buffon''s system? |
23427 | When it arrives, what is to happen? |
23427 | When puppies and kittens play together is there not a tacit contract that they will not hurt each other? |
23427 | Where are our bulldogs, greyhounds, spaniels, and lapdogs, breeds presenting differences which, in wild animals, would be certainly called specific? |
23427 | Where are our cauliflowers, our lettuces, to be found wild, with the same characters as they possess in our kitchen gardens? |
23427 | Where are the passages in which Buffon affirms the immutability of species? |
23427 | Where can we find a more decided expression of opinion than the following? |
23427 | Where can wheat be found as a wild plant, unless it have escaped from some neighbouring cultivation? |
23427 | Where is he? |
23427 | Where is this your designer? |
23427 | Where, then, is your designer of man? |
23427 | Which, I would ask, is the pessimist? |
23427 | Who can doubt but that there will be a split even in the Church of England ere so many years are over? |
23427 | Who led these vessels by a road so defended and secured? |
23427 | Who made him? |
23427 | Why do ants store food? |
23427 | Why do we find in the hole of the field- mouse enough acorns to keep him until the following summer? |
23427 | Why do we find such an abundant store of honey and wax within the bee- hive? |
23427 | Why heave my sighs, why gush my tears anew? |
23427 | Why is it considered so necessary that every part in an individual should be useful to the other parts and to the whole animal? |
23427 | Why is it not as admissible in the second case as in the first? |
23427 | Why not have said nothing about it? |
23427 | Why not unite in community of negation rather than of assertion? |
23427 | Why remind us here that the species which come nearest to the lion are so hard to distinguish? |
23427 | Why should birds make nests if they do not know that they will have need of them? |
23427 | Why should she not sometimes add superabundant parts, seeing she so often omits essential ones?" |
23427 | Why, again, does it seem so proportionate in each animal to the amount of perceiving power which that animal possesses? |
23427 | Yet, 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? |
23427 | and how is one to lay one''s hand upon the little that there may actually be? |
23427 | or have they resulted from the combined agency of both? |
23427 | or is Rome so to modify her dogmas that the Pantheist can join her without doing too much violence to his convictions? |
23427 | or may it not be through wrong comparison on our own parts? |
23427 | would have produced in course of generations a cat, or a cat a lion? |
6919 | 0 solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?" |
6919 | And is disapprobation a pleasure or a pain? |
6919 | And the second is: How has it been perpetuated? |
6919 | And, after all, is it quite so certain that a genetic relation may not underlie the classification of minerals? |
6919 | Are natural causes competent to play the part of selection in perpetuating varieties? |
6919 | Are these truths ultimate and irresolvable facts, or are their complexities and perplexities the mere expressions of a higher law? |
6919 | But are there any theological authorities to justify this view of the matter? |
6919 | But can we go no further than that? |
6919 | But has this been done? |
6919 | But how does this come about? |
6919 | But in the next place comes a much more difficult inquiry:--Are the causes indicated competent to give rise to the phenomena of organic nature? |
6919 | But is it not possible to apply a test whereby a true species may be known from a mere variety? |
6919 | But is the analogy a real one? |
6919 | But is the like true of the physiological characteristics of animals? |
6919 | But suppose we prefer to admit our ignorance rather than adopt a hypothesis at variance with all the teachings of Nature? |
6919 | But the question now is:--Does selection take place in nature? |
6919 | But then, what do they mean by this last much- abused term? |
6919 | But to how much has man really access? |
6919 | But what does this attempt to construct a universal history of the globe imply? |
6919 | But what if it is? |
6919 | But 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? |
6919 | But what proportion is there between the structural alteration and the functional result? |
6919 | But where does the grass, or the oat, or any other plant obtain this nourishing food- producing material? |
6919 | Can we find any approximation to this in the different races known to be produced by selective breeding from a common stock? |
6919 | Did M. Flourens ever visit one of the prettiest watering- places of"la belle France,"the Baie d''Arcachon? |
6919 | Do the physiological differences of varieties amount in degree to those observed between forms which naturalists call distinct species? |
6919 | Do they cease to be so when the man ceases to be conscious of them? |
6919 | Does that make it less virtue? |
6919 | Does the Quarterly Reviewer really think that the"sensation"is the"agent"by which the other two phenomena are wrought out? |
6919 | Elijah''s great question,"Will you serve God or Baal? |
6919 | Finally, what are the mental powers which he reserves as the especial prerogative of man? |
6919 | For what are the phænomena of Agamogenesis, stated generally? |
6919 | Has it been created? |
6919 | Has not his Paley told him that that seemingly useless organ, the spleen, is beautifully adjusted as so much packing between the other organs? |
6919 | How do you know that the laws of Nature are not suspended during the night? |
6919 | How do you know that the man who really made the marks took the spoons? |
6919 | How then is the production of new species to be rendered intelligible by the analogy of Agamogenesis? |
6919 | How, then, is mud formed? |
6919 | If they are capable of sensation, emotion, and volition, why are they to be denied thought( in the sense of predication)? |
6919 | If you find any record of changes taking place at_ b_, did they occur before any events which took place while_ a_ was being deposited? |
6919 | In the first place, do these supposed causes of the phenomena exist in nature? |
6919 | In the first place, what is a species? |
6919 | In what manner can we conceive that the_ vis viva_ of the first ball passes into the second? |
6919 | Is it any more than a grandiloquent way of announcing the fact, that we really know nothing about the matter? |
6919 | Is it satisfactorily proved, in fact, that species may be originated by selection? |
6919 | Is it then still profitable to the male organism to retain it? |
6919 | Is there among the plants the same primitive form of organisation, and is that identical with that of the animal kingdom? |
6919 | Is there any test of a physiological species? |
6919 | Is there anything like the operation of man in exercising selective breeding, taking place in nature? |
6919 | Is there no criterion of species? |
6919 | Is this sound reasoning? |
6919 | Nay, what becomes of an average country squire or parson? |
6919 | Now, how many of those are absolutely extinct? |
6919 | Now, is approbation a pleasure or a pain? |
6919 | Now, the next problem that lies before us-- and it is an extremely important one-- is this: Does this selective breeding occur in nature? |
6919 | Now, what is the effect of this oscillation? |
6919 | Now, what is the result of all this? |
6919 | O solidité de l''esprit Français, que devenez- vous?" |
6919 | Or, suppose for a moment we admit the explanation, and then seriously ask ourselves how much the wiser are we; what does the explanation explain? |
6919 | Or, to put it to the common sense of mankind, is the gratification of affection a pleasure or a pain? |
6919 | Sed quis absconditos ejus recessus aut subterraneas abyssos pervestigavit? |
6919 | Shall Biology alone remain out of harmony with her sister sciences? |
6919 | So what is the use of what you have done?" |
6919 | That 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? |
6919 | The first is: How has organic or living matter commenced its existence? |
6919 | The first question of course is, Do they thus return to the primitive stock? |
6919 | What are these"dunes"? |
6919 | What are those inductions and deductions, and how have you got at this hypothesis? |
6919 | What if species should offer residual phænomena, here and there, not explicable by natural selection? |
6919 | What if the orbit of Darwinism should be a little too circular? |
6919 | What is Mr. Darwin''s hypothesis? |
6919 | What is he doing? |
6919 | What is it that constitutes and makes man what he is? |
6919 | What is the value of the evidence which leads one to believe that one''s fellow- man feels? |
6919 | What is this very speech that we are talking about? |
6919 | What meaning has this fact upon any other hypothesis or supposition than one of successive modification? |
6919 | What shall a man desire more than this? |
6919 | What thoughts, idea, or actions are there that raise him many grades above the elephant or the ape?" |
6919 | What was the state of matters in 1859? |
6919 | What will be the result, then? |
6919 | What will come of a variation when you breed from it, when Atavism comes, if I may say so, to intersect variation? |
6919 | What, then, takes place? |
6919 | Why are the animals and plants of the Galapagos Archipelago so like those of South America and yet different from them? |
6919 | Why are those of the several islets more or less different from one another? |
6919 | Why do species present certain relations in space and in time? |
6919 | Why does not every collection of fossil remains afford plain evidence of the gradation and mutation of the forms of life? |
6919 | Your friend says to you,"But how do you know that?" |
6919 | or has it arisen by the power of natural causation? |
6919 | or what is really the state of the case? |
6919 | quam multa nobis animalia antea ignota offert novus orbis? |
6919 | said his opponents;"but what do you know you may be doing when you heat the air over the water in this way? |
6919 | that none of the phænomena exhibited by species are inconsistent with the origin of species in this way? |
6919 | that there is such a thing as natural selection? |
6078 | Am I then to go without you,he writes;"is this irrevocable? |
6078 | And what would be the expense of each one? |
6078 | But suppose some one offered you a scientific assistant, all expenses paid, what would you say? |
6078 | Have you no forbidden books? |
6078 | How many assistants could you employ? |
6078 | Where is its home, and what its origin? 6078 Why so sad?" |
6078 | Yes, and you, Louis Agassiz? |
6078 | You may ask what this question of drift has to do with deep- sea dredging? 6078 .But what kind of fish was it? 6078 .Will you have the kindness, when occasion offers, to say a word to M. Ancillon about it?. 6078 .You ask me how I intend to finish my Fossil Fishes? 6078 Am I then wholly forgotten in your pleasant circle while my thoughts are every day constantly with my Neuchatel friends?. 6078 And when are we to have astand- up fight"on the erratics of the Alps? |
6078 | Are the present fishes superior to the older ones? |
6078 | But how obtain a professorship, you will say,--that is the important point? |
6078 | But should we not always listen to a friendly voice like yours? |
6078 | But since these men are so worthy to soar on their own wings, why not help them to take flight? |
6078 | But what am I saying? |
6078 | But where is the time to be taken for the necessary investigations involved in these inquiries? |
6078 | But where to go and what to do? |
6078 | Can it be a persistent race here where pure blacks are represented by 2, and the whites by 20- 24? |
6078 | Can it not be done by order of the British government? |
6078 | Can not you conquer yourself so far as to finish what you have in your possession at present? |
6078 | Can the fishes of the Old Red be considered the embryos of those of later epochs? |
6078 | Can you devise a scheme to rescue the Spaniards of Mexico from their degradation? |
6078 | Can you not find me a place where they might be spread out? |
6078 | Can you procure for me Glarus fishes in any considerable number? |
6078 | Can you tell me anything about the human skeletons at the Rio St. Antonio in St. Paul? |
6078 | Could one desire a better occasion to make known a projected work? |
6078 | Do not the physicists begin to think of explaining to us the probable cause of changes so remarkable and so well established? |
6078 | Do these so graduate into crustaceans as to form anything like such an organic link that one could, by generation, come naturally from the other? |
6078 | Do you discover in your results any connection between such facts and the present distribution of crustacea? |
6078 | Do you intend to publish an account of your journey, or shall you confine yourself entirely to a report on your observations on Natural History? |
6078 | Does it float, a rootless wanderer on the deep, or has it broken away from some submarine attachment?" |
6078 | Does the gentleman in Geneva intend to read it before sending it to us, or has he perhaps not received the package? |
6078 | Has he been prevented from writing by business, or illness perhaps? |
6078 | Have fishes descended from a primitive type? |
6078 | Have you finished your essay on the physiology of plants, and what do you make of it?. |
6078 | Have you reflected seriously before setting aside this profession? |
6078 | Have your superb original drawings remained in your possession, or are they included in the sale of your collection?. |
6078 | How dictate a letter to a scholar for whom one has a real regard? |
6078 | How do you explain the origin of those leaves on the stem which, not arising from distinct geniculi, are placed spirally or scattered around the stem? |
6078 | How exhaust an ocean in which the species are indefinitely increasing? |
6078 | How is Dr. Hermann Hagen pleased with his new position? |
6078 | How then refuse such an opportunity for one among them, and that one so gifted? |
6078 | How to prevent the whites from securing the lion''s share of the labor of the blacks? |
6078 | I am afraid you work too much, and( shall I say it frankly?) |
6078 | I should say that before we insist upon making people read we must begin by preparing them to read usefully?. |
6078 | If I were to defer my departure till September would it then be possible for you to leave Rome? |
6078 | If not, who shall go?. |
6078 | If so, what companions will you take? |
6078 | If so, will not the proportion of mulattoes become greater and that of the pure blacks less? |
6078 | If they are autochthones, from what germs did they start into existence? |
6078 | If you succeed( and did you ever fail!?) |
6078 | In what succession does the development of the organs of the flower take place?--and their formation in the bud? |
6078 | In what words shall I tell you how greatly our admiration is increased by this new work of yours on the Fresh- Water Fishes? |
6078 | Is it not true that in the Northern States at least the mulatto is unfertile, leaving but few children, and those mainly lymphatic and scrofulous? |
6078 | Is the organic type of fish higher now than it was during the carboniferous period, when the Sauroids so much abounded? |
6078 | Is there any real connection between the coast tribes of the northwest coast, the mound builders, the Aztec civilization, the Inca, and the Gueranis? |
6078 | Is this not better evidence of their independent origin, than is the fancied lineage with the Indo- Germanic family of their Oriental descent? |
6078 | Is this not quite a parallel case with the monkeys and pachyderms? |
6078 | Lastly: Is there any reason to believe that the Ichthyosaurians are descendants of the Sauroid fishes which preceded the appearance of these reptiles? |
6078 | May we not say the same of crocodiles when compared with the ancient gigantic saurians? |
6078 | Of what persons is it composed? |
6078 | On whom the nomination to the professorship depends? |
6078 | Or is it wine? |
6078 | Ought I to devote myself to the study of medicine? |
6078 | Pray tell me, did you learn German, which you write with such purity, as a child? |
6078 | Shall I tell you anything of my own poor and superannuated works? |
6078 | Shall we again house together in one room, or shall we have separate cells in one comb, namely, under the same roof? |
6078 | The question at once arises, do our smaller rivers present similar differences? |
6078 | There was a prophecy in Lowell''s memorial lines:--"He was a Teacher: why be grieved for him Whose living word still stimulates the air? |

6078 | What do you say to that for a work which is to cost six hundred francs a copy, and of which nothing has as yet appeared? |
6078 | What do you think of the idea? |

6078 | What more can be said? |
6078 | What signify the many fins of fishes? |
6078 | What the gill blades? |
6078 | What you think I should do with reference to both? |
6078 | When are we to meet again? |
6078 | Whence, then, do their inhabitants( animals as well as plants) come? |
6078 | Where are their facts on which to form an inductive truth? |
6078 | Where is the first diverging point of the stems and roots in plants, that is to say, the first geniculum? |
6078 | Why could you not send me, as secretary of the mathematical and physical section, a short report of your principal results? |
6078 | Why do some plants, especially trees( contrary to the ordinary course of development in plants), blossom before they have put forth leaves? |
6078 | Why do you not write to me? |
6078 | Will it not be as good as to see his prescription at the apothecary''s? |
6078 | Will it not seem strange when the largest and finest book in papa''s library is one written by his Louis? |
6078 | Will not the general practical amalgamation fostered by slavery become more general after its abolition? |
6078 | Will not the practical amalgamation fostered by slavery become more general after its abolition? |
6078 | Will you give me, in a few general words, your views of the scale occupied by the fish of the Old Red, considered as a natural group? |
6078 | Will you have the kindness to deliver it for me to Mr. Murchison? |
6078 | With whom the purchase of the collection would rest? |
6078 | Would you go in her, and do deep- sea dredging all the way round? |
6078 | Would you have the great kindness to give me your most valuable opinion on one or two points? |
6078 | You think that I wish to renounce entirely the study of medicine? |
6078 | not that the zoological school grows too fast, but that the others do not grow fast enough? |
6078 | or are the crocodiles, as an order, distinct from the other saurians, and really higher than the turtles? |
6078 | or, rather, what have they to tell in reference to it? |

2087 | And what do you think would be fair terms for an edition? |
2087 | And where you got it? |
2087 | And why can not you come here afterward and WORK?... |
2087 | Are Arctic plants often apetalous? |
2087 | Are not these a jolly lot of assumptions? |
2087 | Are these new species created by the production, at long intervals, of an offspring different in species from the parents? |
2087 | Are they gradually evolved from some embryo substance? |
2087 | Are you not acting unfairly towards yourself? |
2087 | As for Christ''s, did you ever see such a college for producing Captains and Apostles? |
2087 | As you live on sandy soil, have you lizards at all common? |
2087 | 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?''" |
2087 | But as I had not intended to publish any sketch, can I do so honourably, because Wallace has sent me an outline of his doctrine? |
2087 | But have we nowhere any last wreck of a continent, in the midst of the ocean? |
2087 | But 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? |
2087 | But 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"? |
2087 | But would you like for me to send the last and perfect revises of the sheets as I correct them? |
2087 | By the way, have you read the article, in the''Edinburgh Review,''on M. Comte,''Cours de la Philosophie''( or some such title)? |
2087 | Can St. Helena be classed, though remotely, either with Africa or S. America? |

2087 | How soon shall I come to you in the morning? |
2087 | I dare say you will have thought of measuring exactly the width of any dikes at the top and bottom of any great cliff( which was done by Mr. Searle[?] |
2087 | I had formerly some wild cabbage seeds, which I gave to some one, was it to you? |
2087 | I have almost made up my mind to reject the rule of priority in this case; would you grudge the trouble to send me your opinion? |
2087 | I have had a good deal of correspondence about this matter[ with Henslow? |
2087 | I have had a letter telling me that seeds MUST have GREAT power of resisting salt water, for otherwise how could they get to islands? |
2087 | I have one question to ask: Would it be any good to send a copy of my book to Decaisne? |
2087 | I in one haul of my net took five distinct species; is this not quite extraordinary?... |
2087 | I must get you to introduce me to him; would he be a good and sociable man for Dropmore? |
2087 | I never perceived anything of it, have you? |
2087 | I ought to be ashamed to trouble you so much, but will you SEND ONE LINE to inform me? |
2087 | I quite agree on the little occasional intermigration between lands[ islands?] |
2087 | I read and re- read Humboldt; do you do the same? |
2087 | I remember how strongly I answered, and I presume you wanted to know what I should feel; whoever would have dreamed of your being so crafty? |
2087 | I 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? |
2087 | I shall order Bentham; is it not a pity that you should waste time in tabulating varieties? |
2087 | I should EXTREMELY like to see your reasons published in detail, for it"riles"me( this is a proper expression, is it not?) |
2087 | I suppose you do not know Sir J. Mackintosh''s direction? |
2087 | I then asked him, perhaps with a sneer, whether he thought that the answer of slaves in the presence of their master was worth anything? |
2087 | I was so ignorant I do not even know there were three varieties of Dorking fowl: how do they differ?... |
2087 | If I did publish a short sketch, where on earth should I publish it? |
2087 | If not, why should we believe that the variations of domestic animals or plants are preordained for the sake of the breeder? |

2087 | In the absence of so accomplished a naturalist, is there any person whom you could strongly recommend? |
2087 | Is it fair to take advantage of my having freely, though unasked, communicated to you my ideas, and thus prevent me forestalling you?" |
2087 | Is it not possible that the same circumstances which have preserved the vegetation in situ, should have preserved drifted plants? |
2087 | Is it not so with Cryptogamic plants; have not most of the species wide ranges, in those genera which are mundane? |
2087 | Is it not the case that sailors are prone to settle in domestic and quiet habits? |
2087 | Is it not the only island in the Atlantic which is not volcanic? |
2087 | Is it so? |

2087 | Moor Park, Farnham[ April(?) |
2087 | Mr. Leighton goes on,"This greatly roused my attention and curiosity, and I enquired of him repeatedly how this could be done?" |
2087 | My chief puzzle is about the geological specimens-- who will have the charity to help me in describing their mineralogical nature? |
2087 | My old Gyp, Impey, was astounded to hear that he was my son, and very simply asked,"Why, has he been long married?" |
2087 | Now what think you? |
2087 | One other question: You used to keep hawks; do you at all know, after eating a bird, how soon after they throw up the pellet? |
2087 | Or are the species so created produced without parents? |
2087 | Or do they suddenly start from the ground, as in the creation of the poet?... |
2087 | Or would the tendency be to record the varieties about equally in genera of all sizes? |
2087 | P.S.--When will you return to Kew? |
2087 | Perhaps Darwin told you when at the Cape what he considers the true cause? |
2087 | Pray tell me what you think? |
2087 | Rice and peas and calavanses are excellent vegetables, and, with good bread, who could want more? |
2087 | SOMETIME( when you are better) I should like very much to hear a little about your"Little Call Duck"; why so- called? |
2087 | Secondly, can you advise me, whether I had better state what terms of publication I should prefer, or first ask him to propose terms? |
2087 | Share profits, or what? |
2087 | Shrewsbury[ 1845?]. |
2087 | Sir P. Egerton has, I believe, some quite thoroughbred chestnut horses; have any of them the spinal stripe? |
2087 | There have been shot also five Waxen Chatterers, three of which Shaw has for sale; would you like to purchase a specimen? |
2087 | To a NON- BOTANIST the chalk has the most peculiar aspect of any flora in England; why will you not come here to make your observations? |
2087 | Urge the use of the dredge in the Tropics; how little or nothing we know of the limit of life downward in the hot seas? |
2087 | Was it through final causes to keep the plants warm? |
2087 | What do you say to the peculiar Felis there? |
2087 | What is Erasmus''s direction? |
2087 | What is the dose? |
2087 | What on earth shall you do with your boys? |
2087 | What think you? |
2087 | What was the reason that a Naturalist was not long ago fixed upon? |
2087 | When a sentence got hopelessly involved, he would ask himself,"now what DO you want to say?" |
2087 | Where did you go, and what did you do and are doing? |
2087 | Why should Naturalists append their own names to new species, when Mineralogists and Chemists do not do so to new substances? |
2087 | Why? |
2087 | Will not this account for the odd genera with few species which stand between great groups, which we are bound to consider the increasing ones?" |
2087 | Will you be kind enough to write to me one line by RETURN OF POST, saying whether you are now at Cambridge? |
2087 | Will you keep this address? |
2087 | Will you perfect your assistance by further considering, for a little, the subject this way? |
2087 | Will you so far oblige me by occasionally thinking over this? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your head when, if ever, you have leisure? |
2087 | Will you turn this in your mind? |
2087 | Would any one trust in the convictions of a monkey''s mind, if there are any convictions in such a mind? |
2087 | Would it not be better at least to share the 72 pounds 8 shillings? |
2087 | Would it not be well in the Alpine plants to append the very same addition which you have now sent me in MS.? |
2087 | Would not this have been a fine excursion, and in sixteen months I should have been with you all? |
2087 | Would there be purpose if the lowest organisms alone, destitute of consciousness existed in the moon? |
2087 | Would you believe it credible? |
2087 | Would you give such men medals? |
2087 | You idle old wretch, why have you not answered my last letter, which I am sure I forwarded to Clifton nearly three weeks ago? |
2087 | Your remarks on the distinctness( so unpleasant to me) of the Himalayan Rubi, willows, etc., compared with those of northern[ Europe? |
2087 | and all other good friends of dear Cambridge? |
2087 | and do you know any philosophical botanists on the Continent, who read English and care for such subjects? |
2087 | and what it is like?... |
2087 | at the door, and he got together quite a party-- Robert Brown, who is gone to Paris and Auvergne, Macleay[?] |
2087 | or"?." |
2087 | published several years ago the view of distribution of animals in the Malay Archipelago, in relation to the depth of the sea between the islands? |
30249 | Surely,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?" |
30249 | A 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? |
30249 | Am I guilty, then, as has been charged, of preferring the deductive method of reasoning to the more modern and more scientific inductive method? |
30249 | Because man, then, is half animal, shall we say that the animal is half man? |
30249 | Behold the tumble- bug with her ball of dung by the roadside; where is she going with it? |
30249 | Bring it to the hermit for his breakfast? |
30249 | But I shall have more to say upon this point in another chapter, entitled"What do Animals Know?" |
30249 | But do you suppose the fond creature ever comes to know why you do not want his feet upon you? |
30249 | But how did they know of the destruction of their young, and how can we account for their concerted action? |
30249 | But 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? |
30249 | But if we mean by interpretation an answer to the inquiry,"What does this scene or incident suggest to you? |
30249 | But would she not root if she had no pigs, and would not the pigs root if they had no mother? |
30249 | Can it meet new conditions? |
30249 | Can it solve a new problem? |
30249 | Can we believe that the hermit crab thinks and reasons? |
30249 | Can we find any other word for his act? |
30249 | Could any person who knows the birds credit such a tale? |
30249 | DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT? |
30249 | Did it reflect and say, Now is the time for me to bend down and thrust my tip into the ground? |
30249 | Did its parent not try to teach it? |
30249 | Did not its act imply something more than instinct? |
30249 | Did 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? |
30249 | Did she make up her mind? |
30249 | Did she think, compare, weigh? |
30249 | Did the drouth destroy all their eggs and young, and did they know this and so come back to try again? |
30249 | Did the raspberry bush think, or choose what it should do? |
30249 | Did the wife tell him, or the husband? |
30249 | Did they receive any parental instruction? |
30249 | Do they know winter is coming? |
30249 | Do we draw the right inference? |
30249 | Do we get at the true meaning of the facts? |
30249 | Do we mean the communication of knowledge, or the communication of emotion? |
30249 | Do you think the germs from the first knot knew where to find the other plum trees? |
30249 | Does he ring true? |
30249 | Does he see out of the back of his head?--that is, does he see on more than one side of a thing? |
30249 | Does it ever take to the fields and woods, and live on fruit and land- insects, and nest in trees like other thrushes? |
30249 | Does man know his proper food in the same way? |
30249 | Does not even an old trout know more about hooks than a young one? |
30249 | Does 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? |
30249 | Does not solitude bring out a man''s peculiarities and differentiate him from others? |
30249 | Does not some clue to them reach his senses? |
30249 | Flying and walking are both modes of locomotion, and yet may we not fairly say they differ in kind? |
30249 | Has a cat ever been known to bait a rat with a piece of cheese? |
30249 | Has he not been struck by the thought,"I do not know which way my master is going: I will wait and see"? |
30249 | How could a crow tell his fellows of some future event, or of some experience of the day? |
30249 | How could a fox or a wolf instruct its young in such matters as traps? |
30249 | How could an animal know that a man will protect it on special occasions, when ordinarily it has exactly the opposite feeling? |
30249 | How could he tell him this thing is dangerous, this is harmless, save by his actions in the presence of those things? |
30249 | How 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? |
30249 | How could the bird obtain this knowledge? |
30249 | How could the bird with its beak tear out a broad piece of paper? |
30249 | How could the crow gain the knowledge or the experience which this trick implies? |
30249 | How could the mare have known her companion was blind? |
30249 | How could they do it? |
30249 | How did she acquire all this knowledge? |
30249 | How did she know where to drill? |
30249 | How did they know we had had a beech- nut year? |
30249 | How does every individual come to share in the common purpose? |
30249 | How does he know which is the thinnest side? |
30249 | How else shall one explain their second appearance in the marshes? |
30249 | How it arose, what its genesis was, who can tell? |
30249 | How should it know that there are such things as crabs? |
30249 | How should it know that they can be taken with bait and line or by fishing for them? |
30249 | How would the mother duck get her young up out of that well and down to the ground? |
30249 | I 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? |
30249 | I have taken persons to hear the hermit thrush, and I have fancied that they were all the time saying to themselves,"Is that all?" |
30249 | IX DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT? |
30249 | If a fox would bait poultry with corn, why should he not, in his wild state, bait mice and squirrels with nuts and seeds? |
30249 | If 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? |
30249 | If nature study is only to exploit your own individuality, why bother about what other people have or have not seen or heard? |
30249 | If not, where were they? |
30249 | If so, how did they communicate the intelligence and set the whole mighty army in motion? |
30249 | If so, how does it differ from free intelligence or judgment? |
30249 | If the dog in such cases does not reflect, what does he do? |
30249 | In fact, that they would die as soon in the air as in the fresh water? |
30249 | Indeed, what is there about the wood thrush that is not pleasing? |
30249 | Is a change of habits to meet new conditions, or the taking advantage of accidental circumstances, an evidence of sense? |
30249 | Is he in love with the truth, or with the strange, the bizarre? |
30249 | Is his eye single? |
30249 | Is instinct resourceful? |
30249 | Is it a real fit? |
30249 | Is it because his foot would leave a scent that would give his secret away, while his nose does not? |
30249 | Is 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? |
30249 | Is it fear? |
30249 | Is it himself, then, and not the truth that he is seeking to exploit? |
30249 | Is it not the same in a degree among men? |
30249 | Is it probable that a mere animal reflects upon the future any more than it does upon the past? |
30249 | Is it solicitous about the future well- being of its offspring any more than it is curious about its ancestry? |
30249 | Is she thinking about it? |
30249 | Is there any other animal that would act as the collie did under like circumstances? |
30249 | Is there anything which, without great violence to language, may be called a school of the woods? |
30249 | Is this act the result of knowledge or of experience? |
30249 | It is not afraid of the skin itself; why should it infer that squirrels, for instance, are? |
30249 | Many of the shells upon the beach are very showy; to what end? |
30249 | Many of the toadstools are highly colored also; how do they profit by it? |
30249 | May it not be because the wasps are solitary? |
30249 | Newspaper reading tends to make one cautious-- and who does not read newspapers in these days? |
30249 | Now am I to accept this story without question because I find it printed in a book? |
30249 | Now, can the action of the plover in this case be explained on the theory of instinct alone? |
30249 | Now, how did the fox know that the trap was sprung and was now harmless? |
30249 | Now, if by interpretation we mean an answer to the question,"What does this mean?" |
30249 | Now, what is the interpretation? |
30249 | Or how tell of a newly found food supply save by flying eagerly to it? |
30249 | Or were these restless spirits unable to fold their wings even in sleep? |
30249 | Poisonous fruits are also highly colored; to what end? |
30249 | Reason and instinct are both manifestations of intelligence, yet do they not belong to different planes? |
30249 | Reason heeds the points of the compass and takes note of the topography of the country, but what can animals know of these things? |
30249 | Shall we deny anything to a bird or beast that makes it more interesting, and more worthy of our study and admiration? |
30249 | Shall we say these horses deliberately committed suicide? |
30249 | That birds and beasts do communicate with each other, who can doubt? |
30249 | That lusty_ caw- aw, caw- aw_ that one hears in spring and summer, like the voice of authority or command, what does it mean? |
30249 | The bird had learned to be unafraid in the cage, and why should it be afraid out of the cage? |
30249 | The hickory nut is almost white; why does it not seek concealment also? |
30249 | The puzzle is, how did this masterly observer know that this state of affairs existed between this couple? |
30249 | The songless birds-- why has Nature denied them this gift? |
30249 | The sparrow''s song meant nothing to her at all, and how could she share the enthusiasm of the poet? |
30249 | The 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? |
30249 | They are mostly down, and why should they not fall without any danger to life or limb? |
30249 | They could not carry it with their feet, and how could they manage it with their beaks? |
30249 | This may be all right in fiction or romance or fable, but why call the outcome natural history? |
30249 | This moth feeds upon the nectar of flowers like the hummingbird, and why should it not have the hummingbird''s form and manner? |
30249 | Unless the seed itself is digested, what is there to tempt the bird to devour it, or to reward it for so doing? |
30249 | V FACTORS IN ANIMAL LIFE The question that the Californian schoolchildren put to me,"Have the birds got sense?" |
30249 | VIII WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW? |
30249 | WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW? |
30249 | Was he indeed hearing the bird of his youth? |
30249 | Was the act an act of judgment, or simply an unreasoning impulse, like so much else in the lives of the wild creatures? |
30249 | Was 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? |
30249 | Was the spot agreed upon beforehand and notice served upon all the members of the tribe? |
30249 | Was this of itself an act of intelligence? |
30249 | What benefit to the tree, directly or indirectly, is all this wealth of color of the autumn? |
30249 | What can a calf or a cow know about sharpened nails, and the use of a rock to dull them? |
30249 | What can be more unsuitable, untractable, for a nest in a hole or cavity than the twigs the house wren uses? |
30249 | What could any horse know about such a disability? |
30249 | What do Ruskin''s writings upon nature interpret? |
30249 | What does he know about maple trees and the spring flow of sap? |
30249 | What does it all mean? |
30249 | What does it mean? |
30249 | What does or can a horse know about death, or about self- destruction? |
30249 | What experience has the race of orioles had with cloth, that any member of it should know how to unravel it in that way? |
30249 | What is the meaning of the fossils in the rocks? |
30249 | What should he do now? |
30249 | What their various calls mean, who shall tell? |
30249 | What was she going to do with the egg? |
30249 | What was the meaning of it? |
30249 | What were they saying? |
30249 | When a fowl eats gravel or sand, is it probable that the fowl knows what the practice is for, or has any notion at all about the matter? |
30249 | When and how did it get this experience? |
30249 | When this happens, does the tree start a new bud and then develop a new shoot to take the place of the lost leader? |
30249 | Where was her experience of its supposed truth obtained? |
30249 | Wherefore, then, are they so brightly colored? |
30249 | Who ever saw a trained animal, unless it be the elephant, do anything that betrayed the least spark of conscious intelligence? |
30249 | Who ever saw any of our common birds display any sense or judgment in the handling of strings? |
30249 | Who knows? |
30249 | Who would have him more human or less canine? |
30249 | Why are robins so abundant? |
30249 | Why are these parasitical birds found the world over? |
30249 | Why does not the fox take a stick and spring the trap he is so afraid of? |
30249 | Why does the cowbird lay its egg in another bird''s nest? |
30249 | Why does the dog, the world over, use his nose in covering the bone he is hiding, and not his paw? |
30249 | Why does the wild flower, as we chance upon it in the woods or bogs, give us more pleasure than the more elaborate flower of the garden or lawn? |
30249 | Why is corn so bright colored, and wheat and barley so dull, and rice so white? |
30249 | Why is the Canada jay so much tamer than are other jays? |
30249 | Why is the Canada jay so tame and familiar about your camp in the northern woods or in the Rockies, and the other jays so wary? |
30249 | Why is the fox so cunning? |
30249 | Why is the porcupine so tame and stupid? |
30249 | Why is the spruce grouse so stupid compared with most other species? |
30249 | Why not sit in your study and invent your facts to suit your fancyings? |
30249 | Why set it down as a record of actual observation? |
30249 | Why should he not? |
30249 | Why should not Nature repeat herself in this way? |
30249 | Why should the crow be afraid of a gun, if it had learned not to be afraid of the gunner? |
30249 | Why, in fact, go to the woods at all? |
30249 | Why, then, has not this resemblance been brought about? |
30249 | Why, then, should it not take on these alluring colors to help along this end? |
30249 | Why? |
30249 | Why? |
30249 | Will her failure in this case cause her to lose faith in the protective influence of the shadow of a human dwelling? |
30249 | With one on each side, how could they fly with the nest between them? |
30249 | Wolves reared with dogs learn to bark, and who has not seen a dog draw its face as if trying to laugh as its master does? |
30249 | Would not any serious student of nature in our day know in advance of experiment that all this was childish and absurd? |
30249 | Would the same mice share their last crumb with their fellow if he were starving? |
30249 | Would they not at once identify the harmless one with their real enemy and thus fear them both alike? |
30249 | _ Have_ the birds and our other wild neighbors sense, as distinguished from instinct? |
30249 | how do you feel about it?" |
30249 | or of a thousand and one other things in the organic and inorganic world about us? |
30249 | or of the carving and sculpturing of the landscape? |
30249 | or,"What is the exact truth about it?" |
30249 | that little squeaky thing?" |
30249 | then, how could it weave it into the wires of its cage? |
38066 | Am I seeing double? |
38066 | And what about all those nuts? 38066 And who has a better right?" |
38066 | But does he hold his breath all this time? 38066 But how on earth do the roots do this? |
38066 | But 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? |
38066 | But what starts the movement? |
38066 | But, what are you going to do about it? |
38066 | For goodness sake, where_ did_ you learn your trade? |
38066 | Horns and hoofs? 38066 Well,"you say,"is there anything left that these farmers_ do n''t_ do?" |
38066 | Where can I get a man like that? |
38066 | Yes, 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?) |
38066 | ( What kind do you see in the picture of the beaver dam?) |
38066 | 12 came out beautifully, did n''t it? |
38066 | A LITTLE NAP Queer notion, sleeping on one leg like that, is n''t it? |
38066 | A fish or a lizard? |
38066 | A foot? |
38066 | And did you ever count an earthworm''s rings? |
38066 | And do you know how she opens the flowers for the bees on sunshiny days? |
38066 | And 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? |
38066 | And how Mrs. P. puts a stone roof on her house? |
38066 | And how are the little folks?" |
38066 | And how many kinds of earthworms do you suppose there are? |
38066 | And how much work do you suppose these farmers do in grinding up and fertilizing the soil? |
38066 | And how the phoebes that make green nests keep them green? |
38066 | And how the sun acts as a pump for the plant world? |
38066 | And how? |
38066 | And 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? |
38066 | And what for, do you suppose? |
38066 | And what have you been doing? |
38066 | And when these two motions-- the up and down and right and left-- are put together, do n''t you see what you get? |
38066 | And 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? |
38066 | And why swamps are such poor producers? |
38066 | Anyhow, whoever it was, I think he was more than half right, do n''t you? |
38066 | Because of this hinge he could open his mouth wider without putting anything out of place, do n''t you see? |
38066 | But do you know what_ I_ think? |
38066 | But how did it learn it? |
38066 | But how does the tip send back word?" |
38066 | But if a breath of wind would carry them away so easily, how could they_ stay_ on a rock, these tiny lichen travellers? |
38066 | But is there anything in that old weather saw? |
38066 | But it''s queer, is n''t it, what different ways people have of looking at things? |
38066 | But what did Mrs. M. B. do for ground- up stone in the long ages before man came along with his carts? |
38066 | But, speaking of Papa Ostrich''s parental duties, did you know that it''s_ Mr._ Puffin, and not_ Mrs._ Puffin, who digs the family burrow? |
38066 | But, speaking of the way swallows take to human society, do you know where our barn- swallows came from? |
38066 | By the way, do you know who that man is? |
38066 | Can you guess why? |
38066 | Can you guess, when I tell you it''s from a French word meaning"honeycomb"? |
38066 | Canst work i''the earth so fast? |
38066 | Could you do it? |
38066 | DO EARTHWORMS COME DOWN WITH THE RAIN? |
38066 | Did anybody ever tell you how the volcanoes help the winds to help the plants to get their breath? |
38066 | Did the brownies or the gnomes tell it; or was it some of the spirits of the wind that go everywhere and see everything? |
38066 | Did you ever notice how big boulders in a field are frequently sunk into the ground as if dropped from a great height? |
38066 | Did you ever try it? |
38066 | Do n''t you see, he''s getting his dinner? |
38066 | Do n''t you think he looks it? |
38066 | Do n''t you think so? |
38066 | Do n''t you think so? |
38066 | Do you know how men dig subways; like those under New York City and Boston, for instance? |
38066 | Do you know how the rains help to get the mineral food up into the plant? |
38066 | Do you know what a gold mill is? |
38066 | Do you know what a human nitrogen factory is like? |
38066 | Do you know why the phoebe bird so often uses moss in building her nest? |
38066 | Do you know why? |

5273 | Do we consider the deficiency of this sixth sense in man as the slightest evidence against design? 5273 What Is Darwinism? |
5273 | Why 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? |
5273 | And who that is convinced of this can long undoubtingly hold the original distinctness of turnips from cabbages as an article of faith? |
5273 | And why not suppose that the finder of the watch, or of the watch- wheel, infers both design and human workmanship? |
5273 | And would an explanation of the mode in which those woodpeckers came to be green, however complete, convince him that the color was undesigned? |
5273 | Are they veritable Melchizedeks, without pedigree or early relationship, and possibly fated to be without descent? |
5273 | As the intellectual connection here is realized through the material connection, why may it not be so in the case of species and genera? |
5273 | As to the latter, is the common apprehension and sense of mankind in this regard well grounded? |
5273 | Because natural, that is,"stated, fixed, or settled,"is it any the less designed on that account? |
5273 | But does the one really exclude the other? |
5273 | But how would it be if you saw the men doing the same thing over and over? |
5273 | But how? |
5273 | But is it a teleology, or rather-- to use the new- fangled term-- a dysteleology? |
5273 | But now, as the genus and the species have no material existence, how can they vary? |
5273 | But what is the position of the reviewer upon his own interpretation of these passages? |
5273 | But what of the vast majority that perish? |
5273 | But where is there the slightest evidence of a common progenitor? |
5273 | But why not say the same of the aurochs, contemporary both of the old man and of the new? |
5273 | But would any of them be preserved and carried to an equal degree of deviation? |
5273 | But you will ask me,''Do you, then, reject the doctrine of evolution? |
5273 | But, this being proved is it now very improbable that both were derived from the almond, or from some common amygdaline progenitor? |
5273 | Can it be that there was no design, no designer, directing the powers of life in the formation of this wonderful organ? |
5273 | Can the derivative hypothesis be maintained and carried out into a system on similar grounds? |
5273 | Can we rightly reason from our own intelligence and powers to a higher or a supreme intelligence ordering and shaping the system of Nature? |
5273 | Could she accomplish similar results when left to herself? |
5273 | Do order and useful- working collocation, pervading a system throughout all its parts, prove design? |
5273 | Do you accept the creation of species directly and without secondary agencies and processes?'' |
5273 | Does the investigation of physical causes stand opposed to the theological view and the study of the harmonies between mind and Nature? |
5273 | First, Do they die out as a matter of fact? |
5273 | For it is still to ask: whence this rich endowment of matter? |
5273 | Have these changes modified in the slightest degree the supposed evidence of design?" |
5273 | Have 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? |
5273 | Have 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? |
5273 | He set before himself a single problem-- namely, How are the fauna and flora of our earth to be accounted for? |
5273 | How came they to be applied to natural selection by a divine who professes that God ordained whatsoever cometh to pass? |
5273 | How could he know whether the blow was intentional or not? |
5273 | How if you at length discovered a profitable end of the operation, say the winning of a wager? |
5273 | How many of the land animals and plants which are enumerated in the Massachusetts official reports would it be likely to contain? |
5273 | How moving them? |
5273 | How, then, can we suppose Chance to be the author of a system in which everything is as regular as clockwork? |
5273 | II Do Species wear out? |
5273 | If 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? |
5273 | If only individual chairs exist, how can the differences which may be observed among them prove the variability of the species? |
5273 | If species do not exist at all, as the supporters of the transmutation theory maintain, how can they vary? |
5273 | If that does not refer the efficiency of physical causes to the First Cause, what form of words could do so? |
5273 | Is it compatible with our seemingly inbore conception of Nature as an ordered system? |
5273 | Is there anything in Nature which in the long- run may answer to artificial selection? |
5273 | It 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? |
5273 | More than this, is it not most presumable that an intellectual conception realized in Nature would be realized through natural agencies? |
5273 | Now, if the eye as it is, or has become, so convincingly argued design why not each particular step or part of this result? |
5273 | Now, is not all this a question of degree, of mere gradation of difference? |
5273 | Now, the question is, Does this involve the destruction or only the reconstruction of our consecrated ideas of teleology? |
5273 | Now, where is the design in all this? |
5273 | Or are they now coming upon the stage-- or rather were they coming but for man''s interference-- to play a part in the future? |
5273 | Or 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? |
5273 | Or, pourquoi la reproduction est- elle possible, habituelle, feconde indefiniment, entre des etres organises que nous dirons de la meme espece? |
5273 | Rather does not the proof extend to the intermediate species, and go to show that all four were equally designed? |
5273 | Shall we quarrel with Science if she should show how these words are true? |
5273 | Should we be less apt to infer creative wisdom if we had only four senses instead of five, or three instead of four? |
5273 | So in the counterpart case of natural selection: must we not infer intention from the arrangements and the results? |
5273 | So it has been asked, If a man can make a telescope, why can not God make a telescope which produces others like itself? |
5273 | So the question comes to this: What will an hypothesis of the derivation of species explain which the opposing view leaves unexplained? |
5273 | Such being the results of the want of adequate knowledge, how is it likely to be when our knowledge is largely increased? |
5273 | The practical question will only be, How much difference between two sets of individuals entitles them to rank under distinct species? |
5273 | The questions,"What will he do with it?" |
5273 | This raises the question, Why does Darwin press his theory to these extreme conclusions? |
5273 | To the triumphant outcry,"How can an organ, such as an eye, be formed under Nature?" |
5273 | To which we reply by asking, Which does the question refer to, the category of thought, or the individual embodiment? |
5273 | VIII WHAT IS DARWINISM? |
5273 | Viewed philosophically, the question only is, Which is the better supported hypothesis of the two? |
5273 | Was this the result of a mere Epicurean or Lucretian"fortuitous concourse"of living"atoms"? |
5273 | Well, if this be so, why denounce the modern man of science so severely upon the other page merely for accepting the permission? |
5273 | Were the old alchemists atheists as well as dreamers in their attempts to transmute earth into gold? |
5273 | What are these probabilities? |
5273 | What better evidence for such hypothesis could we have than the variations and grades which connect these species with each other? |
5273 | What is now to be thought of the ordinary glandular hairs which render the surface of many and the most various plants extremely viscid? |
5273 | What is the bearing of these remarkable adaptations and operations upon doctrines of evolution? |
5273 | What more than this could be said for such an hypothesis? |
5273 | What work will this hypothesis do to establish a claim to be adopted in its completeness? |
5273 | What would come of it? |
5273 | What, then, are organs not adapted to use marks of? |
5273 | When plants are seen to move and to devour, what faculties are left that are distinctively animal? |
5273 | Whence comes that of which all we see and know is the outcome? |
5273 | Who shall decide between such extreme views so ably maintained on either hand, and say how much of truth there may be in each? |
5273 | Why do all hypotheses of derivation converge so inevitably to one ultimate point? |
5273 | Why is this, but that the link of generation has been sundered? |
5273 | Why may not the new species, or some of them, be designed diversifications of the old? |
5273 | Why not? |
5273 | Why should these plants take to organic food more than others? |
5273 | Why should time be lost by this preliminary and incomplete closing? |
5273 | Why these two stages? |
5273 | Why this continual striving after"the unattained and dim?" |
5273 | Why, but because, by their complete extinction in South America, the line of descent was there utterly broken? |
5273 | Would they doubt, or deny my intention, on that account? |
5273 | XII 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? |
5273 | and if not, why not? |
5273 | and if they varied it by other arrangements of the balls or of the blow, and these were followed by analogous results? |
5273 | and"How far will he carry it?" |
5273 | or, does it tend to atheism or pantheism? |
5273 | use of sexual reproduction? |
5273 | we would respond with a parallel question, How can a complex and elaborate organ, such as a nettle- sting, be formed under Nature? |
42845 | And why not be thus_ permeated_? |
42845 | But what do I see now? 42845 But what need of other animals? |
42845 | Madame, why is it that you prefer this tree of a dubious red, to all the precious stones? |
42845 | That 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?" |
42845 | A grave point is the choice of a house; and who shall direct you as to that? |
42845 | An art not merely to survive the Tempest but even to make it useful? |
42845 | And from that Italy how often have we had great and beautiful tidings? |
42845 | And how many are sent from America, from France, from Holland-- from everywhere? |
42845 | And in what proportion? |
42845 | And the learned M. Forbes who has so deeply studied them, very aptly asks, what is there astonishing in that? |
42845 | And the stranger says to them,"Shall you not have bad weather, think you?" |
42845 | And what are our present tidings from Florence? |
42845 | And what can one get to eat? |
42845 | And what has been the consequence? |
42845 | And what have they brought back? |
42845 | And who shall teach us to quicken and obey that sense? |
42845 | And why so? |
42845 | And why? |
42845 | And will she not speedily fulfil her threat? |
42845 | And, for the matter of that, why need we depend upon the State to do this great thing? |
42845 | And, in fact, is it not from her that life primitively sprang? |
42845 | And, in fact, why should not water be the safety of man? |
42845 | And, in truth, he was a bold man who conceived the notion of erecting a beacon here, amidst the waters; what say I? |
42845 | And, the inference? |
42845 | And, then, in fact, what does it matter about the length of the task? |
42845 | And,"what are those wild waves saying?" |
42845 | Are her tides ruled only by the sun and moon? |
42845 | Are its lowest depths peopled? |
42845 | Are there any marshes in the neighborhood? |
42845 | Are these mere forms of style, simple comparisons? |
42845 | Are they gelatinous or fleecy? |
42845 | Are we then to suppose that death preceded life? |
42845 | Are ye not surfeited with wrecked ships and slain men? |
42845 | But are they, in feet, entirely Dreams? |
42845 | But at what cost are we doing all this? |
42845 | But do there now exist any remains, any whole, or even partial, skeletons of these creatures? |
42845 | But do you therefore suppose that they are utterly inert? |
42845 | But how does the globe act? |
42845 | But how is it possible that such a mistake could be made? |
42845 | But how is organization to pass from creatures of the sea to creatures of both sea and land? |
42845 | But how long? |
42845 | But how? |
42845 | But is this saying enough? |
42845 | But it will be asked--"If these creatures really existed, how is it that we do not see them now?" |
42845 | But still, who had overcome the great obstacle of religious repugnance? |
42845 | But under what law do they produce this effect? |
42845 | But what could man do against the enormous fecundity of the cod? |
42845 | But what does it now proceed to exhibit? |
42845 | But what has he done with the first, with his mother, and his nurse? |
42845 | But what is their relative proportion? |
42845 | But what is to be done? |
42845 | But 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? |
42845 | But who knows? |
42845 | But who shall be their interpreter; who shall give us the keynote to their harmony, mysterious harmony-- but Harmony doubtless? |
42845 | But why was it so difficult to discover the already discovered America? |
42845 | But you ask, what does she want with you? |
42845 | Can we prudently take to the sea- bath until the sea breeze shall have trained our physical frame? |
42845 | Can we, safely, without preparation, without alteration of diet and of habits, be suddenly removed from an inland to a maritime abode? |
42845 | Come nightfall, he asks himself whether he will be quite safe in a wide open lodging? |
42845 | Could I have written that book in any other place? |
42845 | Do they know what they thus swallow? |
42845 | Do they reply to her? |
42845 | Do we give our children any of these? |
42845 | Do we love them? |
42845 | Do we not from all sides hear of your horrid triumphs? |
42845 | Do 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? |
42845 | Do you fancy, then, that this Russian or that Backwoodsman, can replace, at need, a mechanic of London or an optician of Paris? |
42845 | Does it thunder? |
42845 | Does not our earth feel the attraction of yet other globes? |
42845 | Does some gentle patient ask us on what people live, in those marine solitudes? |
42845 | Dogs and wolves, do I say? |
42845 | Elephants? |
42845 | For creatures so elementary, would nature go to the expense of a complicated generation? |
42845 | For what was to be done with so many of those huge creatures, each of which had so much blood and so much oil? |
42845 | For, in very truth, what are man''s best works, but the realization of the Almighty will and the great directing mercy? |
42845 | Great and terrible servitudes those; how were they to be remedied? |
42845 | Had he seen, in the possession of his master, the king of Portugal, a chart which had it so laid down? |
42845 | Have the Medusæ this same sense? |
42845 | Have the Missionaries, whether Catholic or Protestant, made any converts? |
42845 | Have we really seen it, this lovely scene? |
42845 | Her anchor once tripped, who can tell whither the good ship may be urged by some sudden wind, or some unsuspected but irresistible current? |
42845 | How are we to imagine that the creative power which we observe in every being on the globe can be denied to the globe itself?" |
42845 | How at the present time does it obtain accretion? |
42845 | How between this great and salutary, but somewhat rude, strength and our weakness, can there be any connection? |
42845 | How has the imprudent creature set out? |
42845 | How is that to be? |
42845 | How know we that, do you ask? |
42845 | How ready we were to exclaim:"Cordouan, Cordouan, pale phantom, can you show yourself only to conjure up the storm, and the storm fiend?" |
42845 | How would it be if the human hand could hear and smell? |
42845 | How, without sails, or oars, or helm, has she left her port? |
42845 | If 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? |
42845 | If only the stature and bulk of man were given to them, who, who, and by what means, could engage with them? |
42845 | Imaginary? |
42845 | In brief, if the Tempest has its_ science_, can we not create and use an_ art_? |
42845 | In throwing up that column towards the sky the_ panting blower_ seems to say,"Oh, nature, why hast thou made me a serf?" |
42845 | Is it a caprice, as with so many beings that throw out their sparkles and flashes of a vain and inconstant joy? |
42845 | Is it an effect of Heat? |
42845 | Is it animal warmth that you lack? |
42845 | Is it in part a physical effect like that which gives their serpentine motion to the Salpas, injected with fire? |
42845 | Is it not the universal element of life? |
42845 | Is it that we are less beautiful, or are you less truly in Love?" |
42845 | Is it the fault of the sea, if this beach is treacherous? |
42845 | Is it the result of the numberless deaths which furnish forth materials for new lives? |
42845 | Is it true that Magellan, before his great enterprise, had seen the Pacific laid down upon a globe by the German, Behaim? |
42845 | Is it, as others think, and as some observations would lead us to believe, an act of aspiration? |
42845 | Is not the land large enough? |
42845 | Is that a freak of nature? |
42845 | Is the Whale, therefore, a terrestrial animal? |
42845 | Is the sea very pure, or mixed? |
42845 | Is this to affirm that these creatures might have ascended to us? |
42845 | Kill them afterwards? |
42845 | Life, at those times, seems to borrow human voice, and to ask,--"Can I possibly last?" |
42845 | Might you not, now that you are thus sheltered, fancy yourself a hundred leagues from the sea? |
42845 | Millions, tens of millions, tens of thousands of millions;--who can even guess at the number of those hosts upon hosts? |
42845 | More productive than the land? |
42845 | Must such people come to the Sea to martyrize the sick and to vulgarize the majesty of the Sea, that wild and true grandeur? |
42845 | Nature? |
42845 | No sooner has he landed in Haiti, than he enquires,"where is the gold? |
42845 | Of some benevolent thing which at certain hours returns to refresh and nourish them? |
42845 | On what? |
42845 | Or an appeal to that rapture of love which alone consoles us here below? |
42845 | Or do they spring up spontaneously, and, in vulgar phrase,"like mushrooms?" |
42845 | Or should it not rather suggest to us some melancholy dream of an impossible destiny which is never to attain its end? |
42845 | Or that we have descended from them? |
42845 | Or were the reality and the impression alike true? |
42845 | Or, is it the silent but undying memory of the persecuted Protestants? |
42845 | Our voyages, upon which we moderns, and more especially the learned, so plume ourselves, have they been really, or at all, servicable to the savages? |
42845 | Ritter and Lyell say:"The Earth labors herself; can she be impotent to organise herself? |
42845 | Shall I give you my opinion? |
42845 | Should they not be the grand moving powers which have created the currents of the sea, put the immense machine into motion? |
42845 | Should we not far rather imagine that in these masses there is a mixture of animality? |
42845 | So much nursing gentleness and so much destroying fury; have we not here a great contradiction? |
42845 | That they have no confused idea of Love and the Unknown? |
42845 | That viscuousness which water in general presents? |
42845 | The devourers and the devoured, were they two nations of different origin? |
42845 | They beg, they pray, they insist-- and who is to resist them? |
42845 | They must be enormously expensive; and who pays the cost? |
42845 | Upon land, we take care of our_ Horses_; why not PRESERVE THE SEA? |
42845 | Was all this attributable to my worn brain and wearied eyes? |
42845 | Was he a lunatic? |
42845 | Was he late in displaying his guiding light? |
42845 | Was it an entity, or a delusion? |
42845 | Was it at our antipodes? |
42845 | Was she dying or already dead? |
42845 | Was this land of gold, Paradise, or was it not? |
42845 | We have spoken of mere atomies; but are there, in reality, any such? |
42845 | Whales? |
42845 | What became of the crew? |
42845 | What can the creature there do with his strength? |
42845 | What has caused this great change, created the terrestrial Dugong, and his brother the Walrus? |
42845 | What if the rotifer could conceive, for instance, the superb, the colossal starred sponge, which one may see in the Museum at Paris? |
42845 | What is her point of departure? |
42845 | What is it that makes amends for so much of inferiority in the means of the man? |
42845 | What is it? |
42845 | What is the nature of their amours? |
42845 | What is the precise exposition? |
42845 | What is the real extent of the ocean? |
42845 | What is the use of merely seeing that desert, when, in the very act of seeing it you make it either depopulated or hostile? |
42845 | What more could be required? |
42845 | What more, I ask, do ye demand? |
42845 | What most tempts man? |
42845 | What precautions have been taken? |
42845 | What the result? |
42845 | What union can there be between elements so greatly disproportioned? |
42845 | What was the meaning of all this cruel slaughter? |
42845 | What was the original idea? |
42845 | What would become of you if we should die? |
42845 | What, then, is that other power? |
42845 | What? |
42845 | What_ is_ that? |
42845 | Whatever may be your choice, Madame, between these two kinds of house, do you know what I heartily wish for you? |
42845 | Where are these first sketches of animality made? |
42845 | Where are we to look for the primitive scene of organization? |
42845 | Where do these wonders commence? |
42845 | Where lived it? |
42845 | Which will it first produce, the vegetable- animal, or the animal- vegetable? |
42845 | Who can even imagine how many ships and how many men are saved by these beneficent beacons? |
42845 | Who can foresee or guess the history of this drop of water? |
42845 | Who can forget that for ten years Ramon, in vain, sought to reach Mount Perdu, though often within sight of it? |
42845 | Who discovered the secrets of the Globe? |
42845 | Who does not know that Roscoff raises fruit and vegetables in such profusion as to sell them cheaply, even in Normandy? |
42845 | Who first saw America? |
42845 | Who has developed the currents, those regular fluctuation of the abysses into which we never descend? |
42845 | Who has got gold?" |
42845 | Who has not noted with pity the painful efforts of the shell- less mollusc, as he grovels along on his unguarded belly? |
42845 | Who has summoned him? |
42845 | Who has taught us the geography of those dark waters? |
42845 | Who is it that tells us this? |
42845 | Who is really dead? |
42845 | Who knows whether this vital_ circulus_ of the marine animality is not the starting point of all physical_ circulus_? |
42845 | Who opened up to men the great distant navigation? |
42845 | Who revealed the Ocean, and marked out its zones and its liquid highways? |
42845 | Whose eloquence, tact, and perseverance, in fact set the expedition fairly afloat? |
42845 | Why can not I, with a single word, build you just such a villa as I have in my mind? |
42845 | Why has that name of terror been given to a creature so charming? |
42845 | Why have I been permitted to see for a moment that immense flood of light? |
42845 | Why is it that in this matter America, so young, has outstripped Europe, so old? |
42845 | Why is that? |
42845 | Why not make that bay sacred to it? |
42845 | Why not_ protect the breeding Season of the Ocean_? |
42845 | Why, then, when we feel ourselves sinking, do we not repair for restoration to the abounding source of life? |
42845 | Why? |
42845 | Why? |
42845 | Why? |
42845 | Will not some inquisitives intrude a look-- who knows-- may not some one find the way in with claw and tooth as well as glance? |
42845 | Will that warm sea be found again? |
42845 | Would not one month be enough? |
42845 | Yet 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. |
42845 | and, in fact, have we any antipodes? |
42845 | de Saint Vincent; viz: What is the_ mucus_ of the Sea? |
42845 | may we venture to call it so? |
42845 | what more do ye require? |
18335 | Life 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? |
18335 | A philosopher can not well afford to assume the air of lofty indifference that the poet Whitman does when he asks,"Do I contradict myself? |
18335 | A straight line has direction, that is mechanics; what direction has the circle? |
18335 | After 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? |
18335 | All individual life begins with the egg, but where did we get the egg? |
18335 | Are biophysics and geophysics one and the same? |
18335 | Are morphological processes identical with chemical ones? |
18335 | Are the darting electrons any more vital than the shooting- stars? |
18335 | Are we as wide of the mark as they were? |
18335 | Are we not also certain that the pump sucks the water up through the pipe, and that we suck our iced drinks through a straw? |
18335 | Are we not thinking of the far cry it is from man to inorganic nature? |
18335 | Are you likely to extract Homer out of the rattling of dice, or the Differential Calculus out of the clash of billiard balls?" |
18335 | As we go down the scale toward the inorganic, can we find the point where the living and the non- living meet and become one? |
18335 | Before there was any protoplasm, what brought about the stupendous change of the dead into the living? |
18335 | Biology, 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? |
18335 | But can atomic energy be translated into the motion of ponderable bodies, or mass energy? |
18335 | But can we think of the atoms in a chemical compound as being next one another, or merely in juxtaposition? |
18335 | But even in this case can we not say that the mainspring of the energy of living bodies is the life that is in them? |
18335 | But 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? |
18335 | But 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? |
18335 | But is not this molecular force itself a form of solar energy, and can it differ in kind from any other form of physical force? |
18335 | But is there not a previous question? |
18335 | But living force is what we are trying to differentiate from mechanical force, and what do we gain by confounding the two? |
18335 | But only the green leaf can produce chlorophyll; and yet, which was first, the leaf or the chlorophyll? |
18335 | But what is life? |
18335 | But what is science but a kind of anthropomorphism? |
18335 | But what is the secret of the cell itself? |
18335 | But without some indwelling principle of development and progress, how could the new wants arise? |
18335 | But would these accidental peculiarities be constant? |
18335 | Can a flash of radium emanations on a zinc- sulphide plate kindle the precious spark? |
18335 | Can a part be greater than the whole? |
18335 | Can our faith in the divinity of matter measure up to this standard? |
18335 | Can oxygen be anything but oxygen, or carbon anything but carbon? |
18335 | Can soul arise out of a soulless universe? |
18335 | Can the psychic dominate the physical out of which it came? |
18335 | Can there be any halfway house between something and nothing? |
18335 | Can we do any better than to call it the Spirit of the Body? |
18335 | Can we evoke life from the omnipotent ether, or see it arise in the whirling stream of atoms and electrons? |
18335 | Can we make the dead live? |
18335 | Can we on any better philosophical grounds say that there is a principle of vitality, though the earth swarms with living beings? |
18335 | Can we see where the tremendous change from the non- living to the living takes place? |
18335 | Chemical changes, undoubtedly, but what brings about the chemical changes? |
18335 | Clay is certainly the physical basis of the potter''s art, but would there be any pottery in the world if it contained only clay? |
18335 | Could any vitalist, or Bergsonian idealist have stated his case better? |
18335 | Could one by analyzing a hive of bees find out the secret of its organization-- its unity as an aggregate of living insects? |
18335 | Could we have foretold the future of any form of life from its remote beginnings? |
18335 | Did it arise spontaneously out of dead matter? |
18335 | Did not Emerson in his first poem,"The Sphinx,"sing of Journeying atoms, Primordial wholes? |
18335 | Did the earth itself bring forth a man, or did something breathe upon the inert clay till it became a living spirit? |
18335 | Do accidents happen millions of times in the same way? |
18335 | Do we not have to think of the potter? |
18335 | Do 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? |
18335 | Do we not then have to supply a non- chemical, a non- physical force or factor to account for the living body? |
18335 | Do we not want inheritance and adaptation accounted for? |
18335 | Does any chemical process give the mind any separate reality to take hold of? |
18335 | Does not a bird possess a higher degree of life than a mollusk, or a turtle? |
18335 | Does not a man imply a cooler planet and a greater depth and refinement of soil than a dinosaur? |
18335 | Does the river- bed account for the river? |
18335 | Does the sequence of life have no end? |
18335 | Force was certainly expended in doing this, and if the life in the sprouting nut did not exert it or expend it, what did? |
18335 | Had the air been differently constituted, would not our lungs have been different? |
18335 | Had we known any of the animal forms in his line of ascent, could we have foretold man as we know him to- day? |
18335 | Has the"fitness of the environment"ever been questioned? |
18335 | Has this"ultimate molecule of life"any more scientific or philosophical validity than the old conception of a vital force? |
18335 | How are we going to get man with physics and chemistry alone? |
18335 | How are we going to get these things out of the old physics and chemistry without some new factor or agent or force? |
18335 | How are we going to get this tremendous drama of evolution out of mere protoplasm from the bottom of the old geologic seas? |
18335 | How can a body adapt itself to its environment unless it possess an inherent, plastic, changing, and adaptive principle? |
18335 | How can they be any other? |
18335 | How could it be otherwise? |
18335 | How else could it come? |
18335 | How is it that a million muscle cells remain alike, collectively ready to respond to a nerve impulse?" |
18335 | How many millions or trillions of times does the rose divide its heart in the perfume it sheds so freely upon the air? |
18335 | II Where, then, shall we look for the key to this mysterious thing we call life? |
18335 | III When we are bold enough to ask the question, Is life an addition to matter or an evolution from matter? |
18335 | If I question the forces about me, what answer do I get? |
18335 | If evolution pursued a course equally fortuitous, would it not still be wandering in the wilderness of the chaotic nebulà ¦? |
18335 | If it was not life which exerted this force, what was it? |
18335 | If so, by what? |
18335 | If so, what made them diverge and develop into such totally different forms? |
18335 | If the forces are purely automatic, why not? |
18335 | If the gods of the inorganic elements are neither for nor against us, but utterly indifferent to us, how came we here? |
18335 | If we limit the natural to the inorganic order, then are living bodies supernatural? |
18335 | If we say it was nature, do we mean by nature a physical force or an immaterial principle? |
18335 | If we say the particular essence of life is chemical, do we mean any more than that life is inseparable from chemical reactions? |
18335 | If we were to see and hear it for the first time, should we not think that the Judgment Day had really come? |
18335 | In every machine, properly so called, all the factors are known; but do we know all the factors in a living body? |
18335 | In like manner can, or does, this potential life of the world of atoms and electrons give rise to organized living beings? |
18335 | In 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?" |
18335 | Is biology to be interpreted in the same physical and chemical terms as geology? |
18335 | Is it any more or any less? |
18335 | Is it not like accounting for a baby in terms of its breathing and eating? |
18335 | Is life outside this circle? |
18335 | Is magnetism or gravitation a real thing? |
18335 | Is not a brook trout more alive than a mud- sucker? |
18335 | Is not geology also applied physics and chemistry? |
18335 | Is not the peristaltic movement of the bowels, by which the solid matter is removed, also a vital phenomenon? |
18335 | Is not this conceding to the vitalists all that they claim? |
18335 | Is radio- active matter any nearer living matter than is the clod under foot? |
18335 | Is that a hard proposition? |
18335 | Is the spirit of a race or a nation, or of the times in which we live, another illustration of the same mysterious entity? |
18335 | Is there a spirit of fire, or of decay, or of disease, or of health? |
18335 | Is 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? |
18335 | Is there any room for the moral law in a world of mechanical determinism? |
18335 | Is 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? |
18335 | Is there not molecular attraction and repulsion in a steam- engine also? |
18335 | Is there not room here for something besides blind, indifferent forces? |
18335 | Is what we call life the result of their various new combinations? |
18335 | It is certain that this circle does not always include life, but can life exist outside this circle? |
18335 | It is some living thing; but what is a living thing, and how does it differ from a mechanical and non- living thing? |
18335 | Life accounts for protoplasm, but what accounts for life? |
18335 | Little wonder that the good people are asking, Have we lost faith? |
18335 | May not life be spontaneous in the same sense? |
18335 | May not life itself be the outcome of a peculiar whirl of the ultimate atoms of matter? |
18335 | Must he not bring a new force, an alien power? |
18335 | Must we go outside of matter itself, and of chemical reactions, to account for it? |
18335 | Nearly 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? |
18335 | No doubt at all that if these processes were arrested, life would speedily end, but do they alone account for its origin? |
18335 | Now, what keeps up the constant interchange-- this seesaw? |
18335 | Of course the man of science is also a philosopher-- may I not even say he is also a prophet and poet? |
18335 | Other still smaller organisms? |
18335 | Protoplasm makes more protoplasm, as fire makes more fire, but what kindled the first spark of this living flame? |
18335 | Shall we praise the fitness of the air for breathing, or of the water for drinking, or of the winds for filling our sails? |
18335 | Should we be justified, then, in saying that there is no difference between them? |
18335 | Soddy makes the suggestive inquiry:"If life begins in a single cell, does intelligence? |
18335 | Sufficient heat kills the germs, but what disintegrates the germs and reduces them to dust? |
18335 | The body is a machine and a laboratory combined, but that which coördinates them and makes them work together-- what is that? |
18335 | The final question of the cabbage and the man still remains-- Where did you get them? |
18335 | The 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? |
18335 | The germ makes an"effort"to restore it( why does it make an effort? |
18335 | The living cell is a wonderful machine, but if we ask which is first, life or the cell, where are we? |
18335 | The nose of the pig is fitted for rooting; shall we say, then, that the soil was made friable that pigs might root in it? |
18335 | The psychic arises out of the organic and the organic arises out of the inorganic, and the inorganic arises out of-- what? |
18335 | The vital force? |
18335 | The 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? |
18335 | There is more wit than science in Huxley''s question,"What better philosophical status has vitality than aquosity?" |
18335 | There is no ethics in the physical order, and if humanity is entirely in the grip of that order, where do moral obligations come in? |
18335 | These"chemical reaction complexes"in living cells, as the biochemists call them, are they the cause of life, or only the effect of life? |
18335 | This may be only my anthropomorphic way of looking at things, but are not all our ways of looking at things anthropomorphic? |
18335 | To ask which is first is to call up the old puzzle, Which is first, the egg, or the hen that laid it? |
18335 | Unless we consider them as potential in all matter( and who shall say that they are not?) |
18335 | V Is gravity or chemical affinity any more real to the mind than vitality? |
18335 | VII Without metaphysics we can do nothing; without mental concepts, where are we? |
18335 | Was Nature getting ready for man? |
18335 | Was it a miraculous or a natural event? |
18335 | Was it, or is it, a visitation-- something_ ab extra_ that implies super- mundane, or supernatural, powers? |
18335 | We call it burdock, but what is burdock, and why does it not change into yellow dock, or into a cabbage? |
18335 | We know, do we not? |
18335 | We 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? |
18335 | What can science see or find in the brain of man that answers to the soul? |
18335 | What did Spencer mean by it? |
18335 | What difference does it find between inert matter and a living organism? |
18335 | What do vital changes involve? |
18335 | What force is there in inert matter that can build a machine by the adjustment of parts to each other? |
18335 | What has happened to them? |
18335 | What has science done to clear up this mystery of vitality? |
18335 | What has to supplement the mechanical and the chemical to make matter alive? |
18335 | What is it in the body that struggles against poisons and seeks to neutralize their effects? |
18335 | What is it that determines this new mode and end of their activities? |
18335 | What is it that prevents the local whirl in this unstable stream from changing its form? |
18335 | What is it that protects the body against a second attack of certain diseases, making it immune? |
18335 | What is it that travels along lifting new water each moment up into waves? |
18335 | What is it? |
18335 | What must be added to them to set up the reaction we call life? |
18335 | What prompted the elements to this new and extraordinary behavior? |
18335 | What was it in the first instance that gathered their elements from the earth and built them up into such wonderful mechanisms? |
18335 | When we get down to the lowest organism, is the gulf so impressive? |
18335 | When we have learned all that science can tell us about the earth, is it not more rather than less wonderful? |
18335 | Whether the evolution of the human mind from the animal was by insensible gradations, or by a few sudden leaps, who knows? |
18335 | Who knows upon what physical conditions of the earth''s elements the brain of man was dependent? |
18335 | Who or what decides who shall stay and who shall go? |
18335 | Who or what issues the regicide order? |
18335 | Who shall reconcile these contradictions? |
18335 | Why consciousness should be born of cell structure in one form of life and not in another, who shall tell us? |
18335 | Why did it not keep on the same level, and go through the cycle of change, as the inorganic does, without attaining to higher forms? |
18335 | Why did not unicellular life always remain unicellular? |
18335 | Why has it risen? |
18335 | Why may we not think of life as a vital force traveling through matter and lifting up into organic life waves in the same way? |
18335 | Why not in the form of a cabbage, or a donkey, or a clam? |
18335 | Why should matter be gathered in at all in a mechanical struggle between inorganic elements? |
18335 | Will your formulas and equations apply here? |
18335 | Would our mathematics and our chemistry have been of any avail in our dealing with such a problem? |

2088 | Is a shudder akin to the rigor or shivering before fever? |
2088 | Is it not also a difficulty that quadrupeds appear to recognise plants more by their[ scent] than their appearance? |
2088 | Is it not curious that a plant should be far more sensitive to the touch than any nerve in the human body? |
2088 | Is it not humiliating to be thus killed by a man of eighty- six, who evidently never dreamed that he was killing me? |
2088 | Is not this latter case heat rigor? |
2088 | Is not this marvellous? |
2088 | Is 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? |

14834 | Shall not the judge of all the earth do right? |
14834 | Slave,said the old Roman, Marius, to the barbarian who had been sent into the dungeon to despatch him,"slave, wouldst thou kill Cains Marius?" |
14834 | You a king,says Pilate in astonishment;"where is your power to enforce your authority?" |
14834 | ? |
14834 | ? |
14834 | Above all, why should the embryos of bird and perch form their tails by such a roundabout method? |
14834 | And Pilate would not wait for the answer to his question, What is truth? |
14834 | And does not man modify his environment? |
14834 | And does not the same law of advance or extinction apply to man? |
14834 | And how about the spread of knowledge? |
14834 | And how did appetite develop? |
14834 | And how does social life aid man morally? |
14834 | And how has any and every advance to higher capabilities been attained in the animal kingdom? |
14834 | And if so, how is this to be accomplished? |
14834 | And if they have found safe resting- places, can not higher forms turn back and join them? |
14834 | And if this has been the history of thousands of other species, why should it not be true of man also? |
14834 | And in our study of man are we not prone to forget that he stands in certain very definite and close relations with surrounding nature? |
14834 | And 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? |
14834 | And is there any more natural solution of the question than that given in the Bible? |
14834 | And shall God do less? |
14834 | And shall not the same be true of God though he be king of all worlds and ages? |
14834 | And the questions arise, Is one mode and line of mental action just as much the goal of man''s development as another? |
14834 | And what do we mean by environment? |
14834 | And what is all advance of knowledge but a perception of ever subtler relations? |
14834 | And what is all this but the survival in a very degenerate form of the old tribal conscience of primitive man? |
14834 | And what is conformity to the personal element in our environment but likeness to him? |
14834 | And what of God? |
14834 | And what of faith? |
14834 | And what of prayer? |
14834 | And what of the church? |

14834 | And where is the place of understanding? |
14834 | And who are our antagonists? |
14834 | And who was Peter but a rough, hardy fisherman? |
14834 | And why does it help you to associate with a hero? |
14834 | And why should they move? |
14834 | And will environment ever manifest itself to man as the seat or instrument of a power possessing higher faculties other than these? |
14834 | And will not the ear become more delicate, a better instrument for responding to the finest harmonies, and better gateway to our highest feelings? |
14834 | And yet what a power there is in the appetite for truth and righteousness? |
14834 | And yet what is our vaunted Christendom but a vast assemblage of believing but disobedient men? |
14834 | Are there older and lower powers and modes of action, which, though once supreme, must now be rigidly kept down in their proper lower place? |
14834 | Are these and similar actions reflex or instinctive? |
14834 | Are these lower powers merely the foundation on which the higher motives and powers are to rise in their transcendent glory? |
14834 | Are these wrong and injurious? |
14834 | Are we not eminently"penny- wise and pound- foolish?" |
14834 | Are we not too much like such dismantled hulks, or ships sailing with priceless cargoes but with mad captains? |
14834 | As being capable of an endless development and without a rival, may we not,_ must_ we not, consider them as ends in themselves? |
14834 | Believest thou not that I am in the Father and the Father in me? |
14834 | But a greater problem confronts it; can it rise above self? |
14834 | But are our systems of education an unmixed good? |
14834 | But could not all these things be brought about without a single prayer? |
14834 | But does not man make his own surroundings in social life? |
14834 | But does not the grouping of colors in the flower appeal to some æsthetic standard in the mind of the insect? |
14834 | But does the highest worm fear? |
14834 | But have we found the faintest sign of any such? |
14834 | But have we yet sufficient knowledge to justify such an attempt? |
14834 | But how did these two germ- plasms come to be different? |
14834 | But how far do we utilize the highest faculties of the mind, which have to do with character, the crowning glory of human development? |
14834 | But how is an adult worm or vertebrate formed out of such a gastrula? |
14834 | But how much has our scholar advanced the morality of the community? |
14834 | But if the germ- plasm has this constitution and relation to the rest of the body, how is any variation possible? |
14834 | But is man any less a man for having arisen from something lower, and being in a fair way to become something higher? |
14834 | But is not man to be independent and free? |
14834 | But is the amoeba really structureless? |
14834 | But is there any limit to the possible development of the three mental activities mentioned above? |
14834 | But is this the whole truth? |
14834 | But some of you may ask, How can any theory of evolution guarantee that anything of the present shall survive in the future? |
14834 | But supposing that there is in environment something more and other than material, can we possibly know anything about it? |
14834 | But what has been the effect of his life on the moral, social capital of the community? |
14834 | But what has been the history of Abraham''s descendants? |
14834 | But what if it is all true? |
14834 | But what if the army contains a multitude of men who will not obey orders or submit to discipline? |
14834 | But what if you or I try to block the thoroughfare? |
14834 | But what is all human science but the clearer vision, and farther search into, and tracing of these same relations? |
14834 | But what kind of fish, what species of amphibian, what form of reptiles most closely resembles the old ancestor? |
14834 | But what of our tendencies to specialization in education and business? |
14834 | But what of the appetite, if you will pardon the expression, for truth and right? |
14834 | But what shall we say of an environment which unmasks itself at last as a power making for intelligence, unselfishness, and righteousness? |
14834 | But what would he say if you asked him to rebuild a locomotive, while it was running even twenty miles an hour? |
14834 | But when and where was the dawn of fear? |
14834 | But where did the notochord come from? |
14834 | But where is the limit to man''s mental or moral powers? |
14834 | But which vertebrate is heir to the future? |
14834 | But who will compose this future race? |
14834 | But why do we so strenuously object to the application to ourselves of the theory of evolution? |
14834 | But why should the generalized comprehensive forms stand at the bottom rather than the top of the systematic arrangement of their classes? |
14834 | But you will naturally ask,"Is there not, after all, a vast difference between the brain of man and that of the ape?" |
14834 | But, granting the force of these criticisms, the question still remains, Is the special effect of use or disuse transmissible? |
14834 | Can Science also give an answer, and is this in the main in accord with the answer of Scripture? |
14834 | Can he do less? |
14834 | Can he even partially rise superior to prudential considerations, as he has to some extent to the claims of appetite? |
14834 | Can such a thing be the ancestor of a thinking, moral, religious person, like man? |
14834 | Can the unselfish be developed out of the selfish? |
14834 | Can the will emancipate itself from appetite and control it? |
14834 | Can thus natural selection, acting upon fortuitous variations, be the sole guiding process concerned in progress? |
14834 | Can we call it less than"Him, in whom we live and move and have our being?" |
14834 | Can we call the ultimate power which makes for righteousness"it?" |
14834 | Can you find anywhere a more profound or scientific philosophy of history than that of Paul in the first chapter of Romans? |
14834 | Can you talk of self- denial to such a Christian? |
14834 | Could it ever have been executed upon the stage of the world, and perhaps of the universe, without an executing will? |
14834 | Did it live to eat, or to move, or to think? |
14834 | Did they receive nothing? |
14834 | Do form and grouping minister to pure sense gratification? |
14834 | Do the children of the defaulter and drunkard and debauchee suffer because of the sins of their father, or do they not? |
14834 | Do we? |
14834 | Does 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? |
14834 | Does 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? |
14834 | Does not the same reasoning hold true, only with added force? |
14834 | Does the plot of this grander drama of evolution demand no intelligence in its ultimate cause and producer? |
14834 | For how can neighboring cells direct others placed in a new position? |
14834 | Has it felt fear? |
14834 | Has no attempt been made to prove that all human actions are due to selfishness more or less refined? |
14834 | Has the emancipation yet become complete in man? |
14834 | Have you never watched a cat train her kittens? |
14834 | Have you no hero whom you admire and strive to resemble? |
14834 | Hence, when we ask,"Who will survive?" |
14834 | Here the mind can not stop to ask, Will it pay? |
14834 | How can it be answered in a universe of law? |
14834 | How can it be otherwise? |
14834 | How can the brain in its infancy develop until it gains supremacy over muscle, or muscle have done the same with digestion? |
14834 | How 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? |
14834 | How did each of these ancestors look? |
14834 | How do you become like a friend? |
14834 | How do you explain the"instinctive"fear of man on the part of wild and fierce animals? |
14834 | How does it come about that there are any more and less fit individuals? |
14834 | How is it to be answered? |
14834 | How many of our schools and colleges are places where men are stuffed with facts until they have no time nor inclination to think? |
14834 | How was the variation started? |
14834 | If it fails of this, can it be any longer the church of God? |
14834 | If so, out of what and how did it develop? |
14834 | If 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? |
14834 | If there is no intelligence or love of truth in the cause, how can there be anything higher in the effect? |
14834 | If we can not tell exactly how it looked, can we tell what it lived for and what it contributed to the evolution of man? |
14834 | If you put to the two the time- honored question, Which is first, the owl or the egg? |
14834 | If_ this_ is the highest visible result of ages on ages of development, what hope is there for the future? |
14834 | In other words, is not degeneration easier than advance and just as safe? |
14834 | Is Nature and environment only a huge divine loom to weave man and something higher yet? |
14834 | Is he teaching you to conform to environment, or leading you to be ground in pieces by its forces all arrayed against you? |
14834 | Is human history to prove a story told by an idiot, or does it"signify"something? |
14834 | Is it anything else or other than a means of aiding man to conform to environment? |
14834 | Is it not a spread of information? |
14834 | Is it possible to develop the unselfish out of the purely selfish? |
14834 | Is it too much to say that he put himself into them? |
14834 | Is it, after all, possible that our clear- eyed scientific man has altogether misunderstood the game? |
14834 | Is man to cultivate the appetite for food and sense gratification just as much as the hunger for righteousness? |
14834 | Is man''s life at present as long as it should or can be? |
14834 | Is not the one development just as improbable or inconceivable as the other? |
14834 | Is not the same true of God? |
14834 | Is not the"calm, strong angel"more probably our partner? |
14834 | Is not this perhaps the clew to our Lord''s use of natural imagery? |
14834 | Is not this the answering of a personality in the animal to the personality in man; a recognition of something deeper than bone and muscle? |
14834 | Is 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? |
14834 | Is protoplasm itself the result of a long development? |
14834 | Is the great march of humanity, which Carlyle so vividly depicts,"from the inane to the inane, or from God to God?" |
14834 | Is the world better or worse for his life? |
14834 | Is there in the development of the mental powers or functions just as really a sequence of dominance as in that of the bodily functions? |
14834 | Is there then no will in the animal until it has become intelligent? |
14834 | Is, 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? |
14834 | It elevates our views of the living beings, must it not give a higher conception of Him who formed them? |
14834 | It gives us a far higher opinion of the ground- pine; does it disgrace the rose? |
14834 | It is terrible; but the question is, Does the Bible speak the truth about nature? |
14834 | Jesus saith unto him,"Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? |
14834 | Knowledge of environment is good, but of what real and permanent use is such knowledge without conformity? |
14834 | Let 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? |
14834 | Must man be a religious being also? |
14834 | Must there not be some combining power to produce the higher individuals which are prerequisites to the working of natural selection? |
14834 | Now has Science any answer to this vital question? |
14834 | Now our only question is, How does social life enable and aid man to conform to environment? |
14834 | Now what is the scriptural idea of man? |
14834 | Now which two of all shall survive? |
14834 | Or is appetite in the mind like digestion in the body, a function, necessary indeed and once dominant, but no longer fitted for supreme control? |
14834 | Or is it to remain the slave of the body? |
14834 | Or must there be in or behind it something spiritual? |
14834 | Shall we best call environment, in its highest manifestation,"it"or"him?" |
14834 | That is very true, but is it the whole truth? |
14834 | The great question is, What did they contribute to human progress? |
14834 | The man who is governed by prudential considerations, and is always asking, Will it pay? |
14834 | The question remains, What makes the organs vary simultaneously so as to always correspond to each other? |
14834 | The question,"What is it?" |
14834 | The swimming life gave rise to higher and stronger forms; but did its maintenance give immediate advantage in the struggle for existence? |
14834 | The 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? |
14834 | Then must we not expect that environment will always make for these? |
14834 | Then said Christian, May we go in thither? |
14834 | They may turn out learned men; do they produce thinkers? |

14834 | Vices, beginning in the soul, seem to become at last bodily diseases; why may not virtues follow the same law? |
14834 | Was Jackson any the less for being the right arm to deal, as only he could, the crushing blows planned by the great strategist? |
14834 | Was there ever a nation of grander promise than Greece or Rome? |
14834 | We are just awakening to the question,"Why this progressive system of forms, and what does it all mean?" |
14834 | We may not have so many molar teeth for chewing food, but may not our mouths become ever finer instruments for speech and song? |
14834 | Were they giants or are we dwarfed? |
14834 | What has social life done for man intellectually? |
14834 | What hindered and stopped them? |
14834 | What if the animal kingdom is continually blossoming in ever higher forms? |
14834 | What if, as some think, our millionth cousin, the tiger or cat, is anatomically a better mammal than I? |

14834 | Why is a mixture of two protoplasms better than one? |
14834 | Why sacrifice a good thing and make yourself ridiculous scrambling after what in the end may prove unattainable?" |
14834 | Why should the embryo of the bird have the tail of a lizard? |

2740 | Is it your brother Harrison W., whom I know? |
2740 | Is not this making Geology nice and simple for beginners? |
2740 | Is not this most extraordinary, and a puzzler? |
2740 | Is the male Macacus silenus furnished with longer hair than the female about the neck and face? |
2740 | Is the scar on your son''s leg on the same side and on exactly the same spot where you were wounded? |
2740 | Is there any place in London where parcels are received for you, or shall I send it by post? |
2740 | Is this not so? |
2740 | Is this not very curious, and opposed to the morphological idea that a flower is a condensed continuous spire of leaves? |

2740 | March 21st[ 1871?]. |
2740 | May I say it is healthy? |
2740 | May 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? |
2740 | May there be some sexual relation between A. Loddigesii and luteola; they seem very close? |
2740 | Muller wrote:"Are the three which grow near each other seedlings from the same mother- plant or perhaps from seeds of the same capsule? |
2740 | Now is not this structure a good argument that I interpret the homologies of the sides of clinandrum rightly? |
2740 | Now the question is, what think you of the offer? |
2740 | Now, can you tell me whether each spine has likewise an oblique unstriped or striped muscle, as figured by Lister? |
2740 | Now, could you open the stomachs of these ants and examine the contents, so as to prove or disprove this remarkable hypothesis? |
2740 | Now, if in your power, would you observe the position of the pistil in different plants, in lately opened flowers of the same age? |
2740 | Now, is this not odd? |
2740 | Now, some persons can move the skin of their hairy heads; and is this not effected by the panniculus? |
2740 | On what kind of coast or land could the plants have lived? |
2740 | One of this name has made a splendid medical discovery of nicotine counteracting strychnine and tetanus? |

2740 | P.S.--Do you happen to know, when there are only four stamens, whether it is the petal or sepal- facers which are preserved? |
2740 | P.S.--I may give as instance of[ this] class of facts, that Barrow asserts that a male Emberiza(?) |
2740 | Please to tell me where I can find any account of the auditory organs in the orthoptera? |

2740 | Secondly, may I quote you that you have often(?) |
2740 | Secondly: Have you any white and yellow varieties of Verbascum which you could give me, or propagate for me, or LEND me for a year? |
2740 | Shall I call on Friday morning at 9.30 and sit half an hour with you? |
2740 | Shall you do any levelling? |
2740 | Should you care to see an elaborate German pamphlet by Hermann Muller on the gradation and distinction of the forms of Epipactis and of Platanthera? |
2740 | The map of Etna, which I have been just looking at, looks like a sudden falling in, does it not? |
2740 | These notions are at least possible, and would they not vitiate your argument? |
2740 | Thirdly: Can you give me seeds of any Rubiaceae of the sub- order Cinchoneae, as Spermacoce, Diodia, Mitchella, Oldenlandia? |
2740 | Thursday[ 1874?]. |
2740 | To return again to subject of crossing: I have been inclined to speculate so far, as to think( my!?) |
2740 | Was the latter point put in in a hurry to round the sentence, or do you really know of cases? |
2740 | Was there ever such an enigma? |
2740 | What a curious case your Gongora must be: could you spare me one of the largest capsules? |
2740 | What can the explanation be? |

2740 | What will Sir William say? |
2740 | When the Callithrix sciureus screams violently, does it wrinkle up the skin round the eyes like a baby always does? |
2740 | When the elephants in the garden are turned out and are excited so as to move quickly, do they carry their tails aloft? |
2740 | When the heart beats hard and quick, and the head becomes somewhat congested with blood in any illness, does the pupil contract? |

2740 | Will you advise me for him? |
2740 | Will you ask Sutton to observe carefully? |
2740 | Will you have the kindness to look occasionally at your bee- Ophrys near Torquay, and see whether pollinia are ever removed? |

2740 | Will you look to this? |
2740 | Will you not be puzzled when you come to the orchids? |
2740 | Will you suggest to Oliver to review this paper? |
2740 | Would a comparison of the ashes of terrestrial peat and coal give any clue? |
2740 | Would it be worth while to send a corrected copy of the"Courant"to the"Gardeners''Chronicle?" |
2740 | Would it not be better to dye the tail alone and crown of head, so as not to make too great difference? |
2740 | Would it not be truer to say that Nature cares only for the superior individuals and then makes her new and better races? |
2740 | Would it not be worth while to borrow one of these from Sir H. James as a curiosity to hang up? |
2740 | Would not the Atlantic and Antarctic volcanoes be the best examples for you, as there then can be no coral mud to depress the bottom? |
2740 | Would not tubes protrude if placed on parts of column or base of petals, etc., near to the stigma? |
2740 | Would the Royal Agricultural Society be a fitting place? |

54612 | Where 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? |
54612 | But what has meanwhile happened to the outer digits? |
54612 | But what if the incident energy, falling on the system from without, proved insufficient to overthrow it? |
54612 | But what is the evidence for this? |
54612 | But what shall we say on finding innumerable cases in which the suffering inflicted brings no compensating benefit? |
54612 | But why should the growth of every organism be finally arrested? |
54612 | But why will the disused organs vary in the direction of decrease more than in the direction of increase? |
54612 | By what series of variations shall we say that it is reduced from full power to entire incapacity? |
54612 | Can this greater power be shown to have any advantage? |
54612 | Can this, or anything like this, be shown? |
54612 | Can we assume it to be solved by unconscious units? |
54612 | Can we with any propriety assume that these many enlargements duly proportioned will be simultaneously effected by spontaneous variations? |
54612 | Could we more truly say of anything,''it is unrepresentable in thought?''" |
54612 | Did the Unknowable thus demonstrate his power to himself? |
54612 | Do these continue their fissiparous multiplications without end? |
54612 | Do they differ in extension? |
54612 | Do they differ otherwise than in amount? |
54612 | Do they vary together? |
54612 | Does Structure originate Function, or does Function originate Structure? |
54612 | Does any one think he can show this? |
54612 | For if all such as are deficient of power in a certain direction are destroyed, what must be the effect on posterity? |
54612 | For if these single- celled organisms which multiply so rapidly be supposed to lose some of their separative tendency, what must be the result? |
54612 | For what has the trusted process of panmixia been doing ever since the human being began to evolve from the ape? |
54612 | For whence did he get the doctrine of special creations? |
54612 | HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED? |
54612 | HOW IS ORGANIC EVOLUTION CAUSED? |
54612 | Have all animals equal surpluses of assimilative powers? |
54612 | Have we any ground for concluding that species were specially created, except the ground that we have no immediate knowledge of their origin? |
54612 | Have we any reason to think that the parts spontaneously increase or decrease together? |
54612 | Have we not here a solution of these facts? |
54612 | How about the back of the trunk and its face? |
54612 | How are the Cretaceous Ichthyosauria, Plesiosauria, or Pterosauria less embryonic or more differentiated species than those of the Lias?" |
54612 | How are these transformations brought about? |
54612 | How are we to account for this fact? |
54612 | How are we to conceive that genesis of a vital principle which must go along with the genesis of an organism? |
54612 | How are we to distinguish between them? |
54612 | How came this contrast to arise in the course of evolution, if there was the equality of variation supposed? |
54612 | How can its all- sufficiency be alleged when its action can neither be demonstrated nor easily imagined? |
54612 | How changed? |
54612 | How comes there a wish to perform an action not before performed? |
54612 | How distinguished? |
54612 | How 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? |
54612 | How does it happen that some organisms multiply by homogenesis and others by heterogenesis? |
54612 | How formed? |
54612 | How happened it then to awaken at the time when the supply of water enabled the tissues to resume their functions? |
54612 | How happens it that animals were so designed as to render this bloodshed necessary? |
54612 | How is it that the children of a widow by a second husband do not bear traceable resemblances to the first husband? |
54612 | How is such proclivity obtainable? |
54612 | How is this to be explained? |
54612 | How long, then, will it be before there takes place that particular alteration which will make the bone fitter for its new action? |
54612 | How made? |
54612 | How shall we explain the reparative and reproductive powers thus exemplified? |
54612 | How shall we range these facts with the ordinary facts of inheritance? |
54612 | How so? |
54612 | How then comes the organ to augment in size and power? |
54612 | How would it be possible for creatures subject to so violent a change of habitat to survive? |
54612 | How, by any process of direct equilibration, could it come to have the required thickness? |
54612 | How, in the course of evolution, have they been established? |
54612 | How, then, did M. Nouel succeed in obtaining a desirable combination of a fine English breed with the relatively poor French breeds? |
54612 | How, then, is this balance to be maintained? |
54612 | How, then, is this remarkable trait of the tongue- tip to be accounted for? |
54612 | How, then, will a diminution of this separative tendency first show itself? |
54612 | If a new organism is not thus produced, then in what way is one produced? |
54612 | If he has to surrender the hypothesis of_ panmixia_, what results? |
54612 | If so, how have there arisen the unlikenesses between the hind legs of the kangaroo and those of the elephant? |
54612 | If so, we are met by the question-- how is the re- arrangement effected? |
54612 | If so, why did it come back at the right moment? |
54612 | If these facts do not disprove absolutely Professor Weismann''s hypothesis, we may wonderingly ask what facts would disprove it? |
54612 | If they are not inheritable, what must happen? |
54612 | In passing from its wholly unorganized state to an organized state, what will be the first step? |
54612 | In the second place there arises the question-- whence comes the nitrogen required for the compounding of the carbo- hydrates into proteids? |
54612 | In what way does he treat this argument? |
54612 | In what way, then, is the required co- adaptation to be effected? |
54612 | Is any advantage derived from possession of greater tactual discriminativeness by the last than the first? |
54612 | Is it by the agency of the nucleus? |
54612 | Is it created afresh for every plant and animal? |
54612 | Is it not probable that the process of differentiation has been similar? |
54612 | Is 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? |
54612 | Is it some other vital principle external to it, or some materials out of which more vital principle is formed? |
54612 | Is it supposed that a new organism, when specially created, is created out of nothing? |
54612 | Is not the growth of an organism an essentially similar process? |
54612 | Is the protoplasm then the active agent? |
54612 | Is there one kind of vital principle for all kinds of organisms, or is there a separate kind for each? |
54612 | Is this a credible conclusion? |
54612 | Is this principle of activity inherent in organic matter, or is it something superadded? |
54612 | It takes for its subject- matter such general questions as-- What is the end subserved by the union of sperm- cell and germ- cell? |
54612 | Let us, then, ask how, by natural selection, this complex apparatus of bones and muscles can have been developed,_ pari passu_ with the horns? |
54612 | Looking at the evidence thus brought together, do we not get an insight into the actions of nitrogenous matter as a worker of organic changes? |
54612 | May we not expect that it will show itself in the divided portions_ not_ flying apart, but remaining near each other, and forming a group? |
54612 | May we not suspect that it is connected( partially though not wholly) with the contrast between their amounts of locomotive exertion? |
54612 | Must we conclude that God went out of his way to devise an animal for these places? |
54612 | Must we then think, like Von Baer, that the distribution of kindred organisms through different media presents an insurmountable difficulty? |
54612 | Nay, indeed, would not this be much the easier? |
54612 | Now what is the process by which the moving equilibrium in any species becomes adapted to some additional external factor furthering its maintenance? |
54612 | Omitting sundry minor generalizations, the exposition of which would involve too much detail, what is to be said of these major generalizations? |
54612 | Passing from the evidence that evolution has taken place, to the question-- How has it taken place? |
54612 | Relations between what things? |
54612 | Shall we regard all the growing axes thus resulting from slips and grafts and buds, as parts of one individual or as distinct individuals? |
54612 | Shall we say five? |
54612 | Shall we say that these amount to one- tenth of the central ganglion? |
54612 | Shall we say that these degraded creatures, incapable of thought or enjoyment, were created that they might cause human misery? |
54612 | Shall we say that"the head and crown of things,"was provided as a habitat for these parasites? |
54612 | Such being the necessities of the case, what will happen on any successive or simultaneous fertilizations? |
54612 | Suppose that the head of a bison becomes much heavier, what must be the indirect results? |
54612 | The above induction is an approximate answer to the question--_When_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | The question arises, then,--do variations of the appropriate kinds occur simultaneously in all these co- operative parts? |
54612 | The question is: Are the differences between species differences of adaptation? |
54612 | The ultimate mystery is as great as ever: seeing that there remains unsolved the question-- What_ determines_ the co- ordination of actions? |
54612 | There naturally arises the question-- How does it happen that parallel results are not observed in other cases? |
54612 | These proceedings have reference to constitutional needs; but how are they prompted? |
54612 | This answer to the question--_when_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | This goes on with children and grandchildren for a few millions of years, and at last who can be astonished that the fins become feet? |
54612 | Those who think that divine power is demonstrated by special creations, have to answer the question-- to whom demonstrated? |
54612 | Though there may arise the question-- Why could they not have been avoided? |
54612 | To my immediate inquiry--"Was the male a wild pig?" |
54612 | To what end is this construction and re- construction? |
54612 | Under what circumstances do such modes of agamic multiplication, variously modified among parasites, occur? |
54612 | Under what form are we to conceive this dynamic element? |
54612 | Under what form has the vital principle existed during these long intervals? |
54612 | Under what influence is this action initiated and guided? |
54612 | Under what play of forces do these zoospores arrange themselves into this strange structure? |
54612 | Until some beneficial result has been felt from going through certain movements, what can suggest the execution of such movements? |
54612 | Was it all along present in the rotifer though asleep? |
54612 | Was the vital principle elsewhere during these years of absolute quiescence? |
54612 | We are concerned with the previous question-- What variations will arise? |
54612 | Well, in the first place, there might be asked the counter- question-- Where are the facts which disprove it? |
54612 | Were its structure and the accompanying instinct divinely planned to fit it to this particular habitat? |
54612 | What are the causes of variation? |
54612 | What are the conditions under which Genesis takes place? |
54612 | What are the laws of hereditary transmission? |
54612 | What are the probabilities that these two anomalous results should have arisen, under these exceptional conditions, as a matter of chance? |
54612 | What are the variations required? |
54612 | What are we to say of a laugh? |
54612 | What 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? |
54612 | What can be more widely contrasted than a newly- born child and the small, semi- transparent, gelatinous spherule constituting the human ovum? |
54612 | What do we find? |
54612 | What does the vital principle incorporate? |
54612 | What follows? |
54612 | What function does the nucleus discharge; and, more especially, what is the function discharged by the chromatin? |
54612 | What further modifications of habits were probably then acquired? |
54612 | What generates in the cow a desire to bite a substance so unlike in character to her ordinary food? |
54612 | What happens if instead of one organ we consider all the organs? |
54612 | What happens with the blow fly? |
54612 | What happens? |
54612 | What interpretation is to be put on these facts by those who espouse the hypothesis of special creations? |
54612 | What interpretation is to be put on these truths of classification? |
54612 | What is an individual? |
54612 | What is the generalization implied by these two groups of facts? |
54612 | What is the implication? |
54612 | What is the meaning of these differences? |
54612 | What is the most common trait in the development of the sexes? |
54612 | What is the physiological interpretation of these structures and changes? |
54612 | What is the relation between growth and expenditure of energy? |
54612 | What is to be thought of this creature? |
54612 | What kind of life does a crocodile lead? |
54612 | What kinds of individuals were the ancestral ants-- at first solitary, and then semi- social? |
54612 | What made them simultaneously vary in the requisite ways? |
54612 | What must be their properties? |
54612 | What must happen? |
54612 | What must have been the proximate causes of their variations? |
54612 | What must result? |
54612 | What must we say of the ability an organism has to re- complete itself when one of its parts has been cut off? |
54612 | What now happens when they are mixed? |
54612 | What observer has watched for forty years to see whether the fissiparous multiplication of_ Protozoa_ does not cease? |
54612 | What observer has watched for one year, or one month, or one week? |
54612 | What of its divided state? |
54612 | What reason have we for assuming that the inconveniently small tongues occur more frequently than the inconveniently large ones? |
54612 | What results? |
54612 | What shall we say of these leading truths when taken together? |
54612 | What shall we say to this arrangement? |
54612 | What shall we say when we see the inferior destroying the superior? |
54612 | What then are we to say-- what are we to think? |
54612 | What then has disappeared? |
54612 | What was the next step? |
54612 | What will be the characters of the developed insects? |
54612 | What will be the consequence? |
54612 | What will happen? |
54612 | What, again, is the meaning of extinction of types? |
54612 | What, however, are we to say of a multiaxial plant? |
54612 | What, in these cases, must the female do that she may rear members of the next generation? |
54612 | What, now, do we find among the organisms thus subject to various regular and irregular alterations of media? |
54612 | What, now, is the implication? |
54612 | What, then, is the meaning of these peculiar relations of organic forms? |
54612 | What, then, is the only defensible interpretation? |
54612 | What, then, is the probability that there will be two nearly blind ones, and that these will be thus carried? |
54612 | What, then, must happen with the queen- ant, which, through countless generations, has ceased to use certain structures and has lost them from disuse? |
54612 | What, then, must this division be? |
54612 | What, then, remains as the only possible interpretation? |
54612 | What, then, shall we say of the fore limbs and hind limbs of terrestrial mammals, which co- operate closely and perpetually? |
54612 | What, then, will in some cases happen, supposing there is an arrested development consequent on innutrition? |
54612 | Whence arises, then, their striking unlikeness of bulk? |
54612 | Whence comes that vital principle which determines the organizing process? |
54612 | Where is the_ exchange of services_ between somatic cells and reproductive cells? |
54612 | Where now are the facts supporting this assertion? |
54612 | Where, before life commenced, were the superior organisms from which these lowest organisms obtained their organic matter? |
54612 | Which alternative does he prefer?--to cast an imputation on the divine character or to assert a limitation of the divine power? |
54612 | Which do they prefer? |
54612 | Why can not all multiplication be carried on after the asexual method? |
54612 | Why does there not exist a bird of the size of an elephant? |
54612 | Why during thousands of generations has not the nervous structure giving this extreme discriminativeness dwindled away? |
54612 | Why is it that where agamogenesis prevails it is usually from time to time interrupted by gamogenesis? |
54612 | Why is this? |
54612 | Why is this? |
54612 | Why not assume"a fortuitous concourse of atoms"in its broad, simple form? |
54612 | Why should not all organisms, when supplied with sufficient materials, continue to grow as long as they live? |
54612 | Why should not omnipotence have been proved by the supernatural production of plants and animals everywhere throughout the world from hour to hour? |
54612 | Why should the inert_ Aphis_ and the swift- flying Emperor- butterfly be constructed on the same fundamental plan? |
54612 | Why should the thigh near the knee be twice as perceptive as the middle of the thigh? |
54612 | Why 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? |
54612 | Why should there exist this process of natural genesis? |
54612 | Why should they not have enlarged by deposit in them of superfluous materials? |
54612 | Why then do most of them run up during many preceding months? |
54612 | Why this unparalleled perceptiveness? |
54612 | Why 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? |
54612 | Why, then, should we suppose these rudiments to have become smaller? |
54612 | Will any one who contends that organisms were specially designed, assert that they could not have been so designed as to prevent suffering? |
54612 | With what other contrast between these classes, is this contrast connected? |
54612 | [ 26] What, now, are the implications? |
54612 | [ 53] How can the civilized races have been benefited in the struggle for life, by the slight decrease in these comparatively- small bones? |
54612 | and why he presents these difficulties to me, more especially; deliberately ignoring my own hypothesis of physiological units? |
54612 | and why is it that where agamogenesis prevails it is usually, from time to time, interrupted by gamogenesis? |
54612 | or again:--How can the act of secreting some defensive fluid correspond with some external danger which may never occur? |
54612 | or again:--How can the_ dynamical_ phenomena constituting perception correspond with the_ statical_ phenomena of the solid body perceived? |
54612 | or rather-- in what way does he conceive a new organism to be produced? |
54612 | or, if not, where and how did it pre- exist? |
54612 | or, indeed, how could it come to exist at all? |
54612 | still left unanswered the question--_why_ does gamogenesis recur? |
54612 | there does not arise the question-- Why were they deliberately inflicted? |
54612 | why were not their rates of multiplication, their degrees of intelligence, and their propensities, so adjusted that these sufferings might be escaped? |
26009 | A council of turkeys? |
26009 | A dragon? |
26009 | And are the donkeys laden? |
26009 | And are we really going to rest after a trifle like that? 26009 And did n''t you aim at it?" |
26009 | And pray why not? |
26009 | And so you risk his breaking his bones? |
26009 | And the birds? |
26009 | And we shall have to go without dessert? |
26009 | And what should you have done if they had sprung at us? |
26009 | And what takes place then? |
26009 | And what would have happened if the water- spout had reached the ship? |
26009 | And what''s the name of this plant? |
26009 | And whence did the meteor come which passed so close to us? |
26009 | And where is l''Encuerado? |
26009 | And where is l''Encuerado? |
26009 | And who is Juan? |
26009 | And you did n''t repeat any words? |
26009 | Are armadillos very scarce? |
26009 | Are not morning and night dews the same thing? |
26009 | Are not you ashamed to attack a child? |
26009 | Are otters really relations of Gringalet? |
26009 | Are peccaries carnivorous? |
26009 | Are the pods eatable? |
26009 | Are there such things as opossum- fishes? |
26009 | Are there such things as wild dogs? |
26009 | Are these stones luminous? |
26009 | Are they venomous? |
26009 | Are we going to cross that great plain? 26009 Are we going to eat these animals?" |
26009 | Are we in a savage country? |
26009 | Are we liable to catch these fevers? |
26009 | Are we lost? |
26009 | Are we now in a virgin forest? |
26009 | Are we to consider ourselves your guests? |
26009 | Are you all alone? |
26009 | Are you also a sportsman? 26009 Are you going to make as long a journey as you did last month?" |
26009 | Are you going to tie me? |
26009 | Are you speaking the truth? |
26009 | Are you the chief of the village? |
26009 | At a fox, which I missed; were you chasing it? |
26009 | At all events, it is n''t another relation of the rat-- is it? |
26009 | But I see thousands of holes; does each termite have a separate chamber? |
26009 | But eagles are much stronger than falcons? |
26009 | But from whence does all this moisture come? |
26009 | But how do they manage,asked Lucien,"to obtain from a plant those dark- blue stones that I have seen sold in the market?" |
26009 | But how many ants does it take to satisfy it? |
26009 | But if no one can discover our bivouac,remarked Lucien, casting a glance behind him,"how shall we manage to find it again?" |
26009 | But if they always lived in the shade? |
26009 | But was it really you that shot? |
26009 | But what are they composed of? |
26009 | But what do they say? |
26009 | But where are they? |
26009 | But where do these hungry wretches come from? |
26009 | But where''s the sugar? |
26009 | But why did n''t you offer him the instrument directly? |
26009 | But you are armed? |
26009 | But you have just told us that he stripped off all his clothes? |
26009 | But, papa, have n''t I heard you tell the Mexicans that in France they make sugar with beet- root? |
26009 | Ca n''t you understand that the evil spirit which you have in your body will be certain to make you commit some folly? |
26009 | Can any one understand the use of these horrible trees? |
26009 | Can he have discovered water? |
26009 | Can he have met with a stream? |
26009 | Can these animals fly for any length of time? |
26009 | Can they run as fast as squirrels? |
26009 | Can we be still in Mexico? |
26009 | Can we get water from this shrub by merely pressing it? |
26009 | Can you live without eating and drinking? |
26009 | Can you take us in for one night? |
26009 | Could n''t you have chosen a tree that was not so tall? |
26009 | Did n''t I tell you its tongue is poisonous? 26009 Did n''t those wolves frighten you?" |
26009 | Did n''t you know that lizards were harmless? |
26009 | Did n''t you know that some Indians are ant- eaters? 26009 Did you ever see one, papa?" |
26009 | Did you see that great insect that flew buzzing past us? |
26009 | Do 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_?" |
26009 | Do 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?" |
26009 | Do n''t you think it is nice, Tatita? |
26009 | Do n''t you wish Chanito to learn to climb? 26009 Do n''t young alligators know how to swim?" |
26009 | Do squirrels feed on flesh? |
26009 | Do streams often go under the ground like this? |
26009 | Do they always travel in flocks like this? |
26009 | Do you believe that they can understand you? |
26009 | Do you know the family of the animal we are going to have for breakfast? |
26009 | Do you know, then, why toucans have such exaggerated beaks? |
26009 | Do you mean crossing the_ Terre- Froide_? |
26009 | Do you notice, papa, those white specks one of the earwigs is covering with its body? |
26009 | Do you really think that I have done it enough? |
26009 | Do you see the long pods which hang on that tree? |
26009 | Do you speak Spanish, venerable father? |
26009 | Do you think any one will hurt us? |
26009 | Do you think that they will first devour l''Encuerado, and then attack us? |
26009 | Do you think we shall often have to go a whole day without eating? |
26009 | Do you think you are still in the town? |
26009 | Do you understand that phenomenon? |
26009 | Do you wish to persuade me that stones rain down from the sky? |
26009 | Do your legs feel like mine? |
26009 | Do_ jaquaretes_ ever attack men? |
26009 | Does he intend to eat them? |
26009 | Does it eat any thing but ants? |
26009 | Does it produce any fruit good to eat? |
26009 | Does the tick only attack dogs? |
26009 | For what reason do you wish for daylight? |
26009 | Have n''t these Indians any meat? 26009 Have we finished our day''s journey, then?" |
26009 | Have you been bitten by a serpent? |
26009 | Have you discovered any men? |
26009 | Have you killed any of them? |
26009 | Have you killed one? |
26009 | Have you lost your senses? |
26009 | Have you searched well under the stones? 26009 Have you suddenly gone mad?" |
26009 | He was not able to find his way back to the spot? |
26009 | Hours? 26009 How are they all to be recognized?" |
26009 | How came you not to think,I said,"that by struggling in this way you would only the more entangle yourself?" |
26009 | How can mountains like these be measured? |
26009 | How can they bear the weight of such an enormous beak? |
26009 | How could such a great mass as this fall down? |
26009 | How did it manage to eat with its mouth all awry? |
26009 | How did you kill this animal? |
26009 | How did you lose your left arm, pobricito? |
26009 | How did you suppose you would descend? |
26009 | How do the termites manage to build their dwellings? |
26009 | How do they manage to perch on a tree with feet of that kind? |
26009 | How do you explain Lucien''s having followed the trail so readily? |
26009 | How far off is it? |
26009 | How is it that the serpent does not poison itself? |
26009 | How is your arm now, l''Encuerado? |
26009 | How long will they take to carry away all the leaves off that great tree? |
26009 | How many hours shall we be in doing it? |
26009 | How much do they give you for watching this filtering- bag from morning till night? |
26009 | How shall we fasten it? |
26009 | How shall you feed them? |
26009 | How was it that that great bird allowed itself to be conquered by such a small adversary? |
26009 | How will it be then? |
26009 | How will you behave when you cross the savannahs? |
26009 | I hope so; do n''t you like the idea of it? |
26009 | I never thought of all that,said Lucien, shaking his head, and looking convinced;"but what shall we have to eat this evening?" |
26009 | I say, papa, did the woodpecker really want to pierce this big tree? |
26009 | I say,cried my friend,"what does this joke mean?" |
26009 | I 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?" |
26009 | I thought the lion was a beast by itself; but, at all events, it is the king of mammals? |
26009 | If I did, would the animal spring upon us? |
26009 | If I had eaten or drunk,he said, simply,"I should have wanted to go to sleep, and then what would have become of you? |
26009 | If it was n''t for that,I urged on him,"do you think I would permit Lucien to sleep in so dangerous a neighborhood?" |
26009 | If we happened to be caught in one of these whirlwinds would it carry us away? |
26009 | Is Gringalet a digitigrade? |
26009 | Is it a rattle- snake? |
26009 | Is it good to eat? |
26009 | Is it the smallest of the three? |
26009 | Is l''Encuerado asleep? |
26009 | Is n''t M. Sumichrast wrong in that, father? |
26009 | Is that true, father? |
26009 | Is that true? |
26009 | Is their flesh good to eat? |
26009 | Is this intended as an emblem of strength and courage? |
26009 | Is this tantalus going to fish? |
26009 | May I catch it? |
26009 | Nothing broken? |
26009 | Now do_ you_ understand this? |
26009 | Now what do you imagine the sun and moon really are? |
26009 | Of course, because of your white skin; what else should it be? 26009 Shall I walk first?" |
26009 | Shall we cross that great plain? |
26009 | Shall we see any people there? |
26009 | Shall we see any snow fall, now that we are in the_ Terre- Froide_? |
26009 | Shall we take our little captive with us? |
26009 | Should I die if I were stung? |
26009 | So these miserable brutes think they are going to frighten us? |
26009 | Suppose the charcoal went on burning? |
26009 | Suppose the fire went out? |
26009 | Surely your husband will not refuse the shelter of his roof to weary travellers? |
26009 | Take care it does not bite you,said I to the boy;"how did you manage to catch it?" |
26009 | That''s not at all generous,said I to him;"if Sumichrast did not carry the basket sometimes, what would become of us?" |
26009 | The Egyptian bird which devours serpents? |
26009 | The beast is justly mine, is n''t it, Tatita, and I am still the tiger- hunter? |
26009 | The flock just now surprised must have cried out:''What is this animal?'' 26009 The mouth sewn up?" |
26009 | The pigment? |
26009 | Then Europeans have no pigment? |
26009 | Then all Vulcanian rocks can be melted? |
26009 | Then do stones proceed from water? |
26009 | Then it can not eat any thing hard? |
26009 | Then shall we find nothing to shoot here? |
26009 | Then the centre of the earth has been once in a liquid state? |
26009 | Then the forests of the_ Terre- Tempérée_ are more beautiful than those of the_ Terre- Chaude_? |
26009 | Then the wind must be much stronger in forests than in towns? |
26009 | Then they do n''t bite? |
26009 | Then water- bugs are really able to fly, swim, and walk? |
26009 | Then we are not on any road? |
26009 | Then you do n''t love me? |
26009 | Then you''ve had some experience of them? |
26009 | There is no wind,observed Lucien;"how is it that the dust rises so high?" |
26009 | They are excellent; what family do they belong to? |
26009 | They are not Christians, then? |
26009 | They think it so very ridiculous? |
26009 | They will be sure to get within reach of Gringalet; are you sure that he will leave them alone? |
26009 | Till we meet again? 26009 To eat us?" |
26009 | To what order of insects do they belong? |
26009 | Was it a lion? |
26009 | Was it your own fault? |
26009 | Well done; but how did you recognize it to be so? |
26009 | Well, Lucien,asked Sumichrast,"what do you think now of rat''s flesh?" |
26009 | Well, Master''Sunbeam,''in what class will you place this mammal? |
26009 | Well, what happened to him? |
26009 | Well, will one of you sell us some maize- cakes, and give us some water? |
26009 | Were n''t you afraid of him? |
26009 | Were you much frightened? |
26009 | What are its good properties? |
26009 | What are meteors? |
26009 | What are these switches for? |
26009 | What are you asking the birds to do? |
26009 | What are you going to do with these poor orphans? |
26009 | What are you thinking of? |
26009 | What became of the mother? |
26009 | What birds are wild- ducks related to? |
26009 | What 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?" |
26009 | What could you give me? |
26009 | What did the cross matter to him? |
26009 | What did you expect to meet with? |
26009 | What did you fire at? |
26009 | What do they find to eat under the bark, in which they must lead a very gloomy life? |
26009 | What do you think of these little ogres? |
26009 | What do you think, shall we take Gringalet for our guide? |
26009 | What do you want? |
26009 | What does the name armadillo mean? |
26009 | What good are horses, then? |
26009 | What good is its great mouth? |
26009 | What has caused this nasty smell on my fingers? |
26009 | What is all this about a journey, for which my consent is the only requisite? |
26009 | What is that moving down below there? |
26009 | What is that? |
26009 | What is the good of killing a poor creature which would be of no use to us? |
26009 | What is the matter? 26009 What is the name of this wonderful plant?" |
26009 | What is the nearest town to this? |
26009 | What 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?" |
26009 | What is the use of their wings? |
26009 | What is this molten matter composed of which is burning under our feet? |
26009 | What on earth has possessed you to chase useless game at this hour of the night? |
26009 | What on earth have you put in the saucepan? |
26009 | What part did you take in it? |
26009 | What precautions? |
26009 | What was it for? |
26009 | What would be the good, my boy? 26009 What would mamma say, if she was here? |
26009 | What''s the matter? |
26009 | What? |
26009 | When 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? |
26009 | Where are all the wild cattle and horses? |
26009 | Where are their feet, then? |
26009 | Where did you turn out this fellow, Gringalet? |
26009 | Where does the thread come from? |
26009 | Where is Popocatepetl? |
26009 | Where is the filter? |
26009 | Where''s my parrot? |
26009 | Whom are you calling to? |
26009 | Why are they trying to bury that mouse? |
26009 | Why are we not to continue to keep straight on? |
26009 | Why are you collecting this fat? 26009 Why ca n''t they keep their leaves to themselves? |
26009 | Why did M. Sumichrast call l''Encuerado? |
26009 | Why did n''t Torribio say at once that he was willing to exchange his powder for the telescope? |
26009 | Why did n''t you let me shoot at the_ tlacuache_? |
26009 | Why did you hang the shoes round your neck instead of putting them away in a corner? |
26009 | Why did you start without letting us know? |
26009 | Why do n''t the Mexicans live in such a varied and beautiful country as the_ Terre- Chaude_? |
26009 | Why do n''t they fly away, instead of running or tumbling over on the ground? |
26009 | Why do n''t they make an order for them by themselves? |
26009 | Why do n''t they serve the meat first? |
26009 | Why do n''t you ask for a cup and saucer as well? |
26009 | Why do they laugh so when they look at me? |
26009 | Why do they turn round and round like that? |
26009 | Why do you bend those poor plants like that? 26009 Why does n''t it grow in every forest?" |
26009 | Why not take him, dear? 26009 Why not?" |
26009 | Why should n''t we? |
26009 | Why,said Lucien, who came up to us just as the discussion began,"are not all men the same color? |
26009 | Why? 26009 Why?" |
26009 | Will a butterfly come from this caterpillar? |
26009 | Will he go alone? |
26009 | Will it come near us? |
26009 | Will spiders eat one another? |
26009 | Will they attack live creatures? |
26009 | Will you never be prudent? |
26009 | Will you really give the glass to me? |
26009 | Will you skin it? |
26009 | Wo n''t he open the gate for us? 26009 Yes,"I replied;"do n''t you feel tired?" |
26009 | Yet, surely the eagle is the king of birds; is it not able to look straight at the sun? |
26009 | You are not alone, I see; from whom do you come? |
26009 | You 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?" |
26009 | You do n''t mean to say,said Sumichrast,"that l''Encuerado ever wore blue slippers?" |
26009 | You do? 26009 You have seen them before, then?" |
26009 | You mean the forest which we can see from here? |
26009 | You quite forget the_ cochlearia_, or scurvy- grass, so useful to sailors as a remedy for scurvy? |
26009 | You see this animal, Chanito? |
26009 | You would like to find yourself at Orizava? |
26009 | You would rather, then, that I staid at Orizava? |
26009 | And 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? |
26009 | Are they dead, then, for they do not move?" |
26009 | Are your boots well greased? |
26009 | But shall we live on beans the whole of our journey?" |
26009 | But what about Gringalet? |
26009 | But, Chanito, do you know what these mosquitoes are?" |
26009 | Did n''t you know that?" |
26009 | Did n''t you shoot a squirrel yesterday? |
26009 | Did n''t you sleep well?" |
26009 | Do cicindelas live in woods?" |
26009 | Do n''t you recollect that when we were walking over the mountain of Borrego, he often spied out insects that you had missed seeing?" |
26009 | Do they bite with those powerful jaws?" |
26009 | Do you see that beautiful large bird with a tuft on its forehead? |
26009 | Do you see that tree that stands in front of us? |
26009 | Don Luciano, where are you off to with all that train?" |
26009 | Had he then really understood us? |
26009 | Had it a mane?" |
26009 | Have we walked very far?" |
26009 | Have you forgotten our dinner yesterday?" |

26009 | I answered,"you ought to have taken something to restore your strength; for if it had failed, what would have become of us?" |
26009 | I cried,"do n''t you hear the cock crowing, telling us we ought to be on our road? |
26009 | I cried,"what have you done with your provisions?" |
26009 | I cried;"how did you manage to get your trowsers in that state?" |
26009 | I cried;"will you sell us some?" |
26009 | I jumped up-- was it the fall of a tree? |
26009 | Is it Chéma?" |
26009 | Is it a prophet of some new dish in preparation?" |
26009 | Is it not a shame that so many of us sleep through the hour when this lovely prospect can only be enjoyed?" |
26009 | Just as we were going to start, an unforeseen difficulty arose-- how to cross the ravine and ford the river? |

26009 | Master''Sunbeam,''"cried Sumichrast, while helping me to construct our hut,"do n''t you recollect you are the one to provide the fire?" |
26009 | Seeing that we left behind us all our baggage, Lucien exclaimed,"Suppose any one came and stole our provisions?" |

26009 | cried Lucien,"are we in a cemetery?" |
26009 | cried Lucien,"are you going to break your word to me?" |
26009 | cried Lucien;"it looks as if it carried a garden on its back; what use are all these bushes?" |
26009 | cried Lucien;"why did n''t you take it alive?" |
26009 | cried Sumichrast,"are those beasts going to join in the concert made by the grasshoppers and mosquitoes?" |

26009 | exclaimed 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?" |
26009 | exclaimed Sumichrast,"does this wretch intend to give us a present to her children?" |
26009 | my fault?" |

26009 | or was it a signal from one of our companions? |

2739 | Without going into any details, is not this a strong general argument? |
2739 | Would Lindley hear of and dislike being proposed for the Copley and not succeeding? |
2739 | Would it not be a good rebuff to ask him how he knows there were trees at all on the leafless plains of La Plata for his Mylodons to tear down? |
2739 | Would it not be better on this view to propose him for the Royal? |
2739 | Would it not be very interesting to know how the gall- makers behaved with respect to these hybrids? |
2739 | Would it not be well for you to put yourself in communication with him, as otherwise something will perhaps be twice laboured over? |
2739 | Would it not pay for a collector to go there, especially if aided by any subscription? |
2739 | Would not my argument about wingless insular insects perhaps apply to truly Alpine insects? |
2739 | Would not the southern end of Chiloe make a good division for you? |
2739 | Would this be in time? |
2739 | Would you believe it? |
2739 | Would you kindly answer me two or three questions if in your power? |
2739 | Would you not call this theological pedantry or display? |
2739 | Yet who could discover it? |
2739 | You also forget an author who, by means of atolls, contrived to submerge archipelagoes( or continents? |
2739 | You ask about the skipping of the Zoea stage in fresh- water decapods: is this an illustration of acceleration? |
2739 | You have, however, Ranunculus repens, Ranunculus parviflorus, Papaver rhoeas,? |
2739 | You may say, Then why trouble me? |
2739 | You speak as if only land- shells differed in Madeira and Porto Santo: does my memory deceive me that there is a host of representative insects? |
2739 | You speak of evergreen vegetation as leading to few or confined conditions; but is not evergreen vegetation connected with humid and equable climate? |
2739 | Your fact of greater number of European plants( N.B.--But do you mean greater percentage?) |
2739 | Your oak and chestnut case seems very curious; is it not the more so as beeches have gone to, or come from the south? |

2739 | a large body of considerations on the other side, that this genus could not have been slowly accustomed to a cooler climate? |
2739 | and Java belong to the same botanical region-- i.e., that they have many non- littoral species in common? |
2739 | and is it not very surprising that New Zealand, so much nearer to Australia than South America, should have an intermediate flora? |
2739 | and would not the accumulation of a large number of slight differences of this kind lead to a great difference in the grade of organisation? |
2739 | for distant[?] |
2739 | for would it not be destruction to them to be blown from their proper home? |
2739 | has surprised me much; do you not think it odd, the fewness of peculiar species, and their rarity on the alpine heights? |
2739 | how at the first start of life, when there were only the simplest organisms, how did any complication of organisation profit them? |
2739 | how can you speak so of a living real Duke?) |
2739 | if not, perhaps I had better close with this proposal-- what do you think? |
2739 | if so, and the case is given briefly, would you have the great kindness to copy it? |

2739 | or can you explain in one or two sentences how I err? |
2739 | or is it because no chasms or boundaries can be drawn separating the many species? |
2739 | or is it one of the many utterly inexplicable problems in botanical geography? |

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

33994 | She spoke in a dreamy way, as though talking to herself:"Carried off by the Pixies? |
33994 | She stretched up an arm to-- seize the Brownies? |
33994 | Silence-- do you hear? |
33994 | Sophia gone?" |
33994 | Sophia? |
33994 | Speak, ca n''t you?" |
33994 | Speak, girl, what do you mean?" |
33994 | Spite''s voice was trembling with-- fear, shall we say? |
33994 | That was very mean, to be sure; but what better could you expect from Spite the Spy? |
33994 | That''s the plan; what say you?" |
33994 | The Brownies jumped to their feet and MacWhirlie exclaimed:"What is that? |
33994 | The Mistress interrupted the reading:"Well, what has interested you? |
33994 | The Mistress waited a moment or two and then in her quiet way replied,"Pray, how should I know? |

33994 | Then he saw Wille and Dido go off wearily to their bed- chamber, and wondered,"Shall I disturb them? |
33994 | Then they began to clamor for orders:"What shall we do, Captain?" |
33994 | There is an opening then in your solid shell? |
33994 | There''s nothing to hinder you from following up what you have already found out yourselves, is there?" |
33994 | There, do you see? |
33994 | Think they can carry us back?" |
33994 | Think''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? |
33994 | This; I found myself unconsciously asking,"What will destroy the Wasp, in its turn?" |
33994 | Tigrina at last broke the silence:"You will give me my life?" |
33994 | True 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?" |
33994 | True therefore questioned the returning searchers:"Have you seen anything?" |
33994 | True turned to his captive and asked,"Are you the captain of that yacht?" |
33994 | Under water a whole day?" |

33994 | Was there any chance for them to return to the fort? |
33994 | We ca n''t do much to- day, and-- but will to- morrow be clear?" |
33994 | We have heard the reports of the scouts; shall we make an attack?" |
