The source of Energy A summary of the physical and chemical nature of life must begin, not on the Earth, but in the Sun; in fact, at the Sun’s very center. It is here that is to be found the source of the energy that the Sun constantly pours out into space as light and heat. This energy is librated at the center of the Sun as billions upon billions of nuclei of hydroge...
The origin of Refrigerators By the mid-nineteenth century, the term “icebox” had entered the American language, but ice was still only beginning to affect the diet of ordinary citizens in the United States. The ice trade grew with the growth of cities. Ice was used in hotels, taverns, and hospitals, and by some forward-looking city dealers in fresh meat, fresh fi...

Starry starry night paint your palette blue and grey lookout on a summer's day with eyes that know the darkness in my soul Shadows on the hills sketch the trees and daffodils catch the breeze and the winter chills in colors on the snowy linen land 繁星点点的夜晚 你的画板上只调制了蓝与灰 用你那双看得见我灵魂污—秽的眼睛 在炎夏之日向外望 山坡上的暗影 勾勒出树木与水仙的轮廓 ...
Icebergs Icebergs are among nature’s most spectacular creations, and yet most people have never seen one. A vague air of mystery envelops them. They come into being —– somewhere ——in faraway, frigid waters, amid thunderous noise and splashing turbulence, which in most cases no one hears or sees. They exist only a short time and then slowly wast...

Black bears are the smallest of all American bears, ranging in l...
A Rare Fossil Record The preservation of embryos and juveniles is a rate occurrence in the fossil record.
