The condition of other stars warrants the conclusion that this obscuring envelope is the product of a process of refrigeration which will gradually make the sun more and more variable until its history ends in extinction. Looking backward, we see a time when the sun must have been more brilliant than it is now.
The problem is further complicated through the fact that private color- associations are formed obscuring the aesthetic meanings, which can be rediscovered only through the elimination of the former.
Weather cloudy and gloomy-looking, and the wind moaning and whistling through the rigging enough to give one the blues. These are some of the comforts of sea-going, and we have had our share of them in the Alabama. Thursday, December 18th. The gale continues, with dense clouds in every direction obscuring the heavens so that we get no meridian altitude.
With Bazin literary life does not become a mirage obscuring the vision of real life. Before being an author Rene Bazin is a man, with a family attached to the country, rooted in the soil; a guaranty of the dignity of his work as well as of the writer, and a safeguard against many extravagances.

"Storm," he observed shortly. "That's my opinion," said Grey definitely.
That there must be both purpose and object could not be doubted; yet nothing remained but to watt for their revelation. An obscuring mist hung over the canyon, stretching from wall to wall. Beneath the revealing starlight it was like looking down upon a restless, silent expanse of gray sea.
From one of the only two windows on the ground floor which were not boarded up came rays of light, no shutter or curtain obscuring the room from the eyes of a passer on the outside. So few walked that way after nightfall that any such means to secure secrecy were probably deemed unnecessary.
Hour after hour, the wind and rain and lightning held fierce revelry, and not until near the completion of the voyage did the clouds hold back their watery treasures, and the sunbeams force themselves through the storm's dark barriers. When the stars came out that evening, studding the heavens with light, there was no obscuring spot on all the o'erarching sky.
