A little later in 1808 he might have witnessed the discovery made by Malus of polarization by reflexion, and would have been able to note, no doubt with stupefaction, that under certain conditions a ray of light loses the property of being reflected.
VIRGINIAN POKEWEED. The leaves and berries produce a beautiful rose-colour, but it is very fugacious. PRUNUS domestica. PLUM. The bark is used by the country people to dye cloth yellow. PYRUS Malus. APPLE,-The bark of this plant, also, produces a yellow colour. QUERCUS Robur. OAK. The juice of the oak mixed with vitriol forms a black ink; the galls ar employed for the same purpose.
The oldest book I possess on the apple is "Vinetum Britannicum: or, a Treatise of Cider," published in London in 1676; it treats also of other beverages made from fruits and of "the newly-invented ingenio or mill, for the more expeditious and better making of cider." It is the custom to call the apple Pyrus Malus.
The wood of the Peartree is in great esteem for picture frames, it receiving a stain better than almost any other timber known. PYRUS Malus. CRAB-TREE. A tree of great account, as being the parent of all our varieties of apples, and is the stock on which the fine varieties are usually grafted.
The great Republican General started upon his campaign in the Low Countries as fully satisfied as under the circumstances he could hope to be. Malus and Petit-Jean were not only enlarged but reinstated, he was promised abundant supplies of all descriptions, and he was assured that the Republic approved and endorsed his plan of campaign.
Tested by experiment, it was found competent to explain many facts, and with transcendent ingenuity its author sought to make it account for all. He so far succeeded, that men so celebrated as Laplace and Malus, who lived till 1812, and Biot and Brewster, who lived till our own time, were found among his disciples. The Undulatory Theory of Light.
Who could blame me for having maintained with energy the election of Malus, considering that his competitor, M. Girard, unknown as a physicist, obtained twenty-two votes out of fifty-three, and that an addition of five votes would have given him the victory over the savant who had just discovered the phenomenon of polarization by reflection, over the savant whom Europe would have named by acclamation?
This is the name given by the great Linnaeus, with whom the modern accurate naming of plants and animals begins. The nomenclature of plants starts with his "Species Plantarum," 1753. Pyrus is the genus or group comprising the pears and apples, and Linnaeus included the quince; Malus is Latin for the apple-tree. Together the names represent genus and species, the malus Pyrus.
"Hell's cure to you! the devil's luck to you! high hanging to you! hard feeling to you! a short coorse to you!" are all pretty intense, and generally used under provocation and passion. In these cases the curses just mentioned are directed immediately to the offensive object, and there certainly is no want of the malus animus to give them energy.
But once convict a man of bribery in any instance, and once by direct evidence, and you are furnished with a rule of irresistible presumption that every other irregular act by which unlawful gain may arise is done upon the same corrupt motive. Semel malus præsumitur semper malus.
