"For the first time, the Web appears as a direct and violent competitor, not only of newspapers handicapped by their periodicity but also of radios or televisions." As these two examples show, the introduction of the Web in the press, and vice versa, created a new type of press on-line, which offers almost instantaneous information, or in any case much quicker than that given by TV and radio.
It would appear that in most men the decline of sexual feeling and potency is very gradual, and at first manifests itself in increased power of control. See, in vol. i, the study of "The Phenomena of Sexual Periodicity." Among animals, also, spring litters are often said to be the best. Bossi's results are summarized in Archives d'Anthropologie Criminelle, Sept., 1891.
In that case the periodicity of his devotion would justify a scientific investigation; for in such a man there ought to be no direct antagonism of thought and action.
It is unfortunate for you that things are so ordered that you must preach a new sermon every Sunday. The Saviour did not do it, nor did any of his personal followers. They taught when "the spirit moved them." I think none of the great preachers ever spoke with machine-like periodicity certainly Savonarola did not. He preached only when occasion demanded it. But that is neither here nor there.
The view of permanency represents life as being surrounded with unavoidable death, the principle of periodicity, on the contrary, follows the idea of resurrection, granting the possibility of future progression for all living beings. At the same time it yields a more hopeful prospect for experimental inquiry. Experience must decide between the two main theories.
Half-races and double-races are to be distinguished and isolated in all cases, and their hereditary qualities, the periodicity of the recurrence of the anomaly, the dependency on external circumstances and many other questions have to be answered.

The work in the cotton fields, the work of sailors, etc. requires something to give notice of the moment for beginning action. Rhythm would then have arisen as a social function. Against this it may be said that signals of this kind might assist common action without recurring at regular intervals, while periodicity is the fundamental quality of rhythm.
There is a normal respiration, circulation, and beating of the heart which are practically the same for everyone. Any variation from these regular rhythms is serious. This principle of periodicity applies to exercises as well as to anything else. Some men have the habit of going to a gymnasium once a week.
In order to derive the utmost emphasis from the terminal position, the great artist Guy de Maupassant, in his short-stories, developed a periodicity of structure by means of which he reserved the solution of the narrative, whenever possible, until the final sentences. It deals with a poor woman who loses a diamond necklace that she has borrowed from a rich friend in order to wear at a ball.
