Rosse of Washington mentions an instance in which after burial the hair turned from dark brown to red, and also cites a case in a Washington cemetery of a girl, twelve or thirteen years old, who when exhumed was found to have a new growth of hair all over her body. The Ephemerides contains an account of hair suddenly turning gray after death.
Other interesting objects in Taurus are sigma, divisible with the naked eye, magnitudes five and five and a half, distance 7'; Sigma 674, double, magnitudes six and nine, distance 10.5", p. 147°; Sigma 716, double, magnitudes six and seven, distance 5", p. 200° a pleasing sight; tau, triple, magnitudes four, ten and a half, and eleven, distances 36", p. 249°, and 36", p. 60° the ten-and-a-half-magnitude star is itself double, as discovered by Burnham; star cluster No. 1030, not quite as broad as the moon, and containing some stars as large as the eleventh magnitude; and nebula No. 1157, the so-called "Crab nebula" of Lord Rosse, which our glasses will show only as a misty patch of faint light, although large telescopes reveal in it a very curious structure.
Many amateurs have thus been able to make telescopes by following the instructions so clearly laid down by Lord Rosse and the other authorities. Indeed, it would seem that any one who has a little mechanical skill and a good deal of patience ought now to experience no great difficulty in constructing a telescope quite as powerful as that which first brought Herschel into fame.
The great Rosse telescope, of his own fabrication, is certainly the most extraordinary instrument of the kind that has yet been constructed. But it is principally in the departments of politics and literature that we find the most energetic labourers amongst our higher classes.
For speculum metal when cold is excessively brittle, and were the casting permitted to cool like an ordinary copper or iron casting, the mirror would inevitably fly into pieces. Lord Rosse, therefore, found it necessary to anneal the casting with extreme care by allowing it to cool very slowly.
Among such cases in older literature Blanchard and Marcellus Donatus speak of green hair; Rosse saw two instances of the same, for one of which he could find no cause; the other patient worked in a brass foundry. Many curious causes are given for alopecia.
The original is in the library of the Duke of Buckingham. Claverhouse, it may be observed, spells like a chambermaid. "Glaskow, Jun. the 1, 1679. "My Lord, Upon Saturday's night, when my Lord Rosse came into this place, I marched out, and because of the insolency that had been done tue nights before at Ruglen, I went thither and inquyred for the names.
Since my going out of town, there is one Alexander Rosse taken and sent to the Counter by Sir Thomas Allen, for counterfeiting my hand to a ticket, and we this day at the office have given order to Mr. Smith to prosecute him. To bed. 13th. To Whitehall by water from Towre-wharf, where we could not pass the ordinary way, because they were mending of the great stone steps against the Coronacion.
The general feeling of refinement, of serenity, that so strongly characterizes the interior is due to the able work of Hermann Rosse, a capable decorator-painter, who designed and supervised the entire color scheme. The color scheme inside the Holland building, while daring, is most original in using an unusual combination of steel-blue and warm grey silver tones.
"Elle etait de ce monde ou coucous et carrosses Ont le meme destin; Et, rosse, elle a vecu ce que vivant les rosses, L'espace d'un matin!" "Poor horse!" sighed Fantine. And Dahlia exclaimed: "There is Fantine on the point of crying over horses. How can one be such a pitiful fool as that!"
