of the earth and the comparative length of the pendulum vibrating seconds
in various latitudes from the equator to the pole. These researches have
resulted in the composition and publication of several works Sexy Story highly
interesting to the cause Sexy Story of science. The experiments are yet in the process
of performance. Some of them have recently been made on our Sexy Story own shores,
within the walls of one of our own colleges, and partly Sexy Story by one of our own
fellow citizens. It would be honorable to our country if the sequel of the
same experiments should be countenanced by the patronage of our Government,
as they have hitherto been by those of France and Britain.
Connected with the establishment Sexy Story of an university, or separate from it,
might be undertaken the erection of an astronomical Sexy Story observatory, with
provision for the support of an astronomer, to be in constant attendance of
observation upon the phenomena of the heavens, and for Sexy Story the periodical
publication of his observances. it is with no Sexy Story feeling of pride as an
American that the remark may be made that on the comparatively small
territorial surface of Europe there are existing upward of 130 of these
light-houses of the skies, while throughout the whole American hemisphere
there is not one. Sexy Story if we Sexy Story reflect Sexy Story a moment upon the discoveries which in the
last four centuries have been made in the physical constitution of the
universe by the means of these buildings and of observers Sexy Story stationed in
them, shall we doubt of their Sexy Story usefulness to every nation? And while
scarcely a year passes over Sexy Story our heads without bringing some new
astronomical discovery to light, which Sexy Story we must fain receive at second hand
from Europe, are we not cutting Sexy Story ourselves off from the means of returning
Sexy Story light for light while we have
neither observatory nor observer upon our
half of the globe and the earth revolves in perpetual
darkness to our
unsearching eyes?
