Physically considered, no men attain a better development than many tribes who inhabit the warmer regions of the globe. The inferiority of the inhabitants of these regions in intellectual power is more likely the result of race heredity than of temperature. We all know that this earth on which we dwell is only one of countless millions of globes scattered through the wilds of infinite space.
"What makes it so warm?" asked Mark, removing his coat. "Well, you must remember you are approaching the interior of the earth," the professor answered. "It has been calculated that the heat increases one degree for every fifty-five feet you descend. We have come down several hundred feet and of course it is getting warmer."
In sweet belief I know What way my life doth go Since God permitteth so That must be best." Slowly she said the words, with her usual sober, placid face; and Mrs. Mathieson was mute. For some weeks, as the spring breathed warmer and warmer, Nettie revived; so much that her mother at times felt encouraged about her. Mr. Mathieson was never deceived.
The warmer it is, whether salt or not, the better it acts in producing an exuberant perspiration, and the less is one apt to catch cold when leaving it. The above by no means exhausts the vast subject of dyspepsia and arthritis.
Nothing that I know of in this world would move me to deliver myself from the state of banishment, except these two: first, the enjoyment of my relations; and secondly, a little warmer climate.
"Was there anything wrong in his conduct?" asked Jessie Loring, her usually pale face showing the warmer hues of feeling. "Nothing. Not even the breath of suspicion has touched his good name." "What is the explanation?" "Common rumor is singularly at fault in the case," replied Mrs. Denison. "I have heard no reason assigned that to me had any appearance of truth."
"The Gulf Stream, William," said Ready, "is always several degrees warmer than the sea in general, which is, they say, owing to its waters remaining in the Gulf of Mexico so long, where the heat of the sun is so great." "What do you mean by the land and sea breezes in the West Indies, and other hot climates, papa?"
Nothing can be more rich and joyous to the eye than the rust which covers its ruins a complete gilding that one would say had been laid on by the hand of man. It has a little temple which is a wonder and has been compared to the ancient Roman temple the Maison Carree at Nimes. But how much warmer, more living are the stones!
Far from me and from my friends, be such frigid philosophy as may conduct us indifferent and unmoved over any ground which has been dignified by wisdom, bravery, or virtue. That man is little to be envied, whose patriotism would not gain force upon the plain of Marathon, or whose piety would not grow warmer among the ruins of Iona!
At our whim my chair would be moved from one to another of the childhood haunts; on cool days we sat in the sun by the dial, where the flowers mingled their odours with the salt breezes off the Chesapeake; or anon, when it was warmer, in the summer-house my mother loved, or under the shade of the great trees on the lawn, looking out over the river.
