(George Forrest) title: Ice-Caves of France and Switzerland date: None words: 103584 flesch: 64 summary: It is found that the hotter the day, the stronger is the current of cold air; in winter the direction of the current is changed, and it blows into the rock instead of out from it.[190] De Saussure's theory, as developed by M. Pictet, was no doubt satisfactory, so far as it was used to account for the phenomenon of 'cold-caves,' but it seems to be insufficient as an explanation of the existence of large masses of subterranean ice; of which, by the way, De Saussure must have been entirely ignorant, for he makes no allusion to such ice, and the temperatures of the coldest of his caves were considerably above the freezing point. Considering that his ideas were confined to his cattle and their requirements, and that water is often very difficult to find in that part of the Jura, a _hot_ summer would probably mean with him a _dry_ summer, that is, a summer which does not send down much water to thaw the columns in the cave. keywords: abbey;

In the tourist season the guides have not time during the day to bring out specimens to supply the demand, so on this account night trips are of frequent occurrence; and on these occasions the number of persons in all that vast space seldom exceeds half a dozen, but their voices and laughter, and the blows of their hammers, can be heard at greater distances than would seem possible, and give an agreeable sense of companionship; yet the voice does not travel by any means so far as in other caves. keywords: abundance; abundant; account; acid; action; active; advance; ancient; animal; appearance; arch; ascent; atmosphere; attention; attractions; auditorium; average; bad; base; basin; bats; beautiful; beauty; beds; beginning; black; blondy; blue; boat; body; box; bridge; bright; brilliant; broken; brown; calcite; candles; carbonate; careful; cause; cave; cave entrance; caverns; cañon; ceiling; center; central; chamber; chapter; character; charming; clay; clear; close; cold; color; column; common; conditions; connected; considerable; corn; county; course; crawl; creek; crevice; cross; crust; crystal cave; crystals; curious; curve; dakota; danger; dark; day; deep; degree; deposit; depth; descent; description; different; difficult; direction; distance; distant; dome; doubt; dripstone; drive; dry; early; earth; elevation; end; ends; entire; entrance; equal; eruption; evidence; existence; explored; extent; fact; fair; fallen; far; feet; feet deep; feet high; feet long; feet wide; find; fine; fissures; flat; floor; following; foot; force; forest; fork; form; formation; fresh; frost; galena; garden; general; geological; geyser; good; grand; grandeur; great; greater; greatest; green; grey; grotto; grounds; growth; guide; gulf; gypsum; half; hall; hand; handsome; head; heat; heavy; height; higher; highest; hills; hole; horse; hot; hotel; illustration; immense; important; inches; interesting; iron; irregular; journey; known; ladder; lake; land; large; large room; largest; lead; ledge; left; length; level; life; light; like; limestone; limited; line; little; long; looking; lost; lower; lowest; magnesian; magnificent; main; man; manner; marble cave; marvelous; masses; matter; means; measure; miles; mill; missouri; morning; mountain; mud; narrow; natural; nature; near; necessary; nephew; new; north; number; numerous; office; old; onyx; onyx cave; opening; opposite; order; outer; outside; ozark; page; park; party; passage; path; peculiar; perfect; period; perpendicular; persons; pine; place; pleasure; point; pop; portion; position; possible; powell; present; pressure; pure; quantities; quantity; reach; record; red; region; report; return; rise; river; road; rock; roof; room; rope; rough; route; sandstone; scenery; second; series; shallow; shaped; sharp; short; shows; sides; similar; situated; size; slope; sloping; slow; small; smooth; snow; soft; solid; solution; sound; south; southern; space; special; specimens; spot; spring; stairs; stairway; stalactites; standing; state; steam; steep; straight; strata; streams; study; subject; sufficient; summer; supply; surface; survey; temperature; theories; theory; thin; throne; time; town; train; travel; trip; true; tube; upper; usual; valley; vapor; varied; variety; vast; vegetation; view; visit; visitors; volume; waiting; wall; water; waterfall; way; weather; west; wet; white; width; wind cave; wonderful; work; world; worthy; yards; years; yellow; young cache: 17354.txt plain text: 17354.txt item: #4 of 10 id: 18562 author: Shaler, Nathaniel Southgate title: Outlines of the Earth's History: A Popular Study in Physiography date: None words: 146536 flesch: 59 summary: Moreover, this view does not provide any explanation of the fact that volcanoes are in some way connected with actions which go on on the floors of great water basins. In this condition not only is the excessive flow of surface water diminished, but the moisture which creeps down the slope from the wooded area tends to keep the lower-lying fields in a better state for tillage, and promotes the decay of the underlying rocks, and thus adds to the body and richness of the earth. keywords: accidents;

The translator of an almost forgotten tongue, the laborious compiler of unpublished history, requires that the musty chronicles, the splendid illuminated volumes bound in gold and velvet, the crabbed, ill-written works of antique lore, should be laid upon the table before him, so that, in the undisturbed silence of his study, surrounded with lexicons and modern books of reference, he may bit by bit extract the pith, and winnow off the chaff, from the venerable manuscripts of distant lands and other times. keywords: able; account; affairs; air; ancient; animals; antiquity; appearance; armenian; arms; army; assistance; attention; authority; aware; awful; bad; ball; bashi; bear; beautiful; beauty; bed; best; better; bey; birds; black; blood; blue; bodies; body; book; british; broken; brother; buildings; burning; business; byzantine; caliph; caravans; case; century; certain; chapter; character; chief; children; christian; christianity; church; churches; circumstances; citadel; city; climate; clock; coffee; cold; colonel; color; commander; commissioners; common; condition; constantinople; corn; countries; country; course; court; cows; crown; cup; curious; custom; cut; czar; dangerous; dark; day; days; dead; deal; death; deep; different; difficult; dignity; direction; distance; distant; divan; dog; dominions; door; dungeon; earth; east; effect; effendi; emperor; empire; end; enemy; england; english; enormous; entrance; enveri; erzeroom; escape; etchmiazin; euphrates; europe; evening; extent; extraordinary; extreme; eyes; face; fact; faith; family; famous; far; father; fear; feet; felt; ferhad; fine; fire; fish; flat; floor; flowers; followers; following; foot; form; france; frank; friends; frozen; fur; general; gentleman; glass; glorious; god; gold; golden; good; goose; goths; government; governor; gray; great; greater; greatest; greek; ground; guards; guns; half; hall; hands; hard; having; head; heavy; heron; high; higher; highest; hill; history; hold; holes; holy; home; honor; horses; hossein; hot; hour; house; human; hung; idea; immense; important; inches; independent; information; inhabitants; interesting; iron; journey; justice; kerbela; khan; kind; king; kingdom; koordish; koords; ladies; lake; land; language; large; law; leave; left; legs; length; leo; letters; level; library; life; like; line; list; little; lives; long; look; lord; magnificent; man; manner; manuscripts; march; means; middle; mighty; miles; mind; minister; mirza; modern; mohammedan; moment; monastery; months; morning; mountains; mouth; narrow; nation; nature; neighborhood; new; nobles; noise; number; numerous; object; occasion; oda; officers; old; open; opening; opposite; order; original; outside; oxen; page; particular; party; pasha; pashalik; pass; patriarch; peculiar; people; period; persian; person; piece; pipe; place; plain; plunder; poor; pope; population; position; possession; power; prayer; precipice; present; priests; prince; principal; prison; prodigious; production; prophet; province; purpose; race; ready; reason; red; regions; reign; religion; religious; remains; remarkable; rest; rich; rifle; right; river; road; robes; rocks; roman; rome; roof; rooms; royal; rule; russian; savior; sea; second; servants; set; severe; shah; sheep; sheikh; short; sides; silk; silver; singular; size; small; snow; society; soldiers; son; space; spot; square; stable; state; step; stone; strange; stream; strength; strong; style; subjects; sultan; summer; sun; sword; taking; takterawan; tea; tekee; tezek; thamir; thee; thick; thing; thou; throne; time; tomb; tortoom; towers; town; treaty; trebizond; trees; tremendous; tribes; troops; true; truth; turkey; turkish; turks; turn; unable; unfortunate; unknown; upper; usual; valley; value; view; village; volumes; walk; walls; want; war; water; way; wealth; white; wide; wife; wild; williams; windows; winter; women; wonderful; wooden; words; work; world; worth; yard; year; yezid; young cache: 58361.txt plain text: 58361.txt
