 FOOTNOTES:
1 It is well known that ants, by touching the skin of aphides,
extract therefrom a secretion of viscous matter, which nourishes
them. They will frequently carry off the aphides to their
habitations, and keep them there; thus one may say they keep a
cow in their stable.
2 The preservation of insects, and their preparation for
collections, necessitates some precaution. Entomologists are in
the habit of spreading them out on a small board, and arranging
the legs and antennæ by means of large pins. The wings should
be dried by placing them on strips of paper, which preserves
them. These precautions are indispensable if it is wished that the
insects in a collection should retain their distinctive characters.
Worms and caterpillars can be raised in pots filled with earth, if
carefully covered over with muslin or wire gauze with very fine
meshes. The process of hatching may give rise to many
interesting observations.
3 It frequently happens that in a small aquarium, constructed
after this fashion, the animals escape. This is avoided by covering
the vase with a net.
4 The infusion of parsley has the advantage of not sensibly
obscuring the water.
5 Detailed accounts in Vol. lxxxiii., pp. 243 and 292 of “La
Nature.”
6 See “La Nature,” 4th year, 1876, 2nd half-year, p. 167. M. A.
Guillemin mentions, in connection with the phenomenon of July
12th, 1876, the presence of light masses of cloud of a greyish-
blue colour, similar to those perceived in the phenomena just
described.
7 M. A. G. has written us an interesting letter on the subject of
similar experiments, which we here transcribe:—
“When a siphon of seltzer water has been opened some little
time, and the equilibrium of tension is nearly established between
the escaped gas and the dissolved gas, a vertical stream of
bubbles is seen to rise from the bottom of the apparatus, which
present a very clear example of the law of ascension of bubbles;
that is to say (putting out of the question the expansion of the
bubbles in their passage upwards), it is an inverse representation
of the law of gravity affecting falling bodies. The bubbles, in fact,
detach themselves from their starting point with perfect
regularity; and as the interval varies in one file from another, we
have before us a multiplied representation of that terrible law
which Attwood’s machine made such a bugbear to the
commercial world. I believe it is possible, by counting the number
of bubbles that detach themselves in a second, in each file, and
the number which the whole stream contains at a given instant,
to carry the verification further; but I must confess that I have
not done so myself.”
8 The experiment we have just described is a very old one. M. V.
Sircoulon has told us that it was described at length in the works
of Rabelais. The following remarks are in “Pantagruel,” book II.,
chap. xvii.
“Panuræ then took two glasses of the same size, filled them with
water, and put one on one stool, and the other on another, about
five feet apart, and placed the staff of a javelin about five-and-a-
half feet long across, so that the ends of the staff just touched
the brim of the glasses. That done, he took a stout piece of
wood, and said to the others: “Gentlemen, this is how we shall
conquer our enemies; for in the same way that I shall break this
staff between these two glasses, without the glasses being
broken or injured, or spilling a single drop of water, so shall we
break the head of our Dipsodes, without any injury to ourselves,
and without getting wounded. But that you may not think there is
magic in it, you, Eusthenes, strike with this stick as hard as you
can in the centre.” This Eusthenes did, and the staff broke in two
pieces, without a drop of water being spilt.

“meniscus,” from the Greek word meniskos, meaning “a little
lens.”

19 It is the same with a number of other common products, such
as clay, sandstone, etc., the composition of which chemistry has
revealed. Argil, or clay, slate, and schist all contain a metal—
aluminium, which has become most valuable for industrial
purposes. Stones for building are composed of a metal combined
with carbon and oxygen—calcium; sandstone is composed of
silicium, a metallic body united with oxygen; and sulphate of
magnesia, which enters into the composition of a purgative drink,
also contains a metal—magnesium.

sectors of the lower disc; and it appears red, if, on the contrary, the blue sectors are
covered with the black;” [red] has been added.

considerable effort to identify, do copyright research on,
transcribe and proofread works not protected by U.S. copyright
law in creating the Project Gutenberg™ collection. Despite these
efforts, Project Gutenberg™ electronic works, and the medium
on which they may be stored, may contain “Defects,” such as,
but not limited to, incomplete, inaccurate or corrupt data,
transcription errors, a copyright or other intellectual property
infringement, a defective or damaged disk or other medium, a
computer virus, or computer codes that damage or cannot be
read by your equipment.

1.F.2. LIMITED WARRANTY, DISCLAIMER OF DAMAGES - Except

for the “Right of Replacement or Refund” described in
paragraph 1.F.3, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation, the owner of the Project Gutenberg™ trademark,

arise directly or indirectly from any of the following which you
do or cause to occur: (a) distribution of this or any Project
Gutenberg™ work, (b) alteration, modification, or additions or
deletions to any Project Gutenberg™ work, and (c) any Defect
you cause.

Section 2. Information about the Mission

of Project Gutenberg™
Project Gutenberg™ is synonymous with the free distribution of
electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new
computers. It exists because of the efforts of hundreds of
volunteers and donations from people in all walks of life.

Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the

assistance they need are critical to reaching Project
Gutenberg™’s goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg™
collection will remain freely available for generations to come. In
2001, the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was
created to provide a secure and permanent future for Project
Gutenberg™ and future generations. To learn more about the
Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation and how your
efforts and donations can help, see Sections 3 and 4 and the
Foundation information page at www.gutenberg.org.

Section 3. Information about the Project

Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation
The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation is a non-
profit 501(c)(3) educational corporation organized under the
laws of the state of Mississippi and granted tax exempt status
by the Internal Revenue Service. The Foundation’s EIN or
federal tax identification number is 64-6221541. Contributions
to the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation are tax
deductible to the full extent permitted by U.S. federal laws and
your state’s laws.

The Foundation’s business office is located at 809 North 1500

West, Salt Lake City, UT 84116, (801) 596-1887. Email contact
links and up to date contact information can be found at the
Foundation’s website and official page at
www.gutenberg.org/contact
 Section 4. Information about Donations to
the Project Gutenberg Literary Archive
Foundation
Project Gutenberg™ depends upon and cannot survive without
widespread public support and donations to carry out its mission
of increasing the number of public domain and licensed works
that can be freely distributed in machine-readable form
accessible by the widest array of equipment including outdated
equipment. Many small donations ($1 to $5,000) are particularly
important to maintaining tax exempt status with the IRS.

The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws

regulating charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of
the United States. Compliance requirements are not uniform
and it takes a considerable effort, much paperwork and many
fees to meet and keep up with these requirements. We do not
solicit donations in locations where we have not received written
confirmation of compliance. To SEND DONATIONS or determine
the status of compliance for any particular state visit
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states

where we have not met the solicitation requirements, we know
of no prohibition against accepting unsolicited donations from
donors in such states who approach us with offers to donate.

International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot

make any statements concerning tax treatment of donations
received from outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp
our small staff.

Please check the Project Gutenberg web pages for current

donation methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a
number of other ways including checks, online payments and
credit card donations. To donate, please visit:
www.gutenberg.org/donate.

Section 5. General Information About

Project Gutenberg™ electronic works
Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project
Gutenberg™ concept of a library of electronic works that could
be freely shared with anyone. For forty years, he produced and
distributed Project Gutenberg™ eBooks with only a loose
network of volunteer support.

Project Gutenberg™ eBooks are often created from several

printed editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by
