Pàgina 482 - For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts ; even one thing befalleth them : as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath ; so that a man hath no pre-eminence above a beast : for all is vanity. All go unto one place ; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.
Pàgina 124 - The late Mr. Bakewell was of opinion, that after May-Day, he could communicate the rot at pleasure, by flooding, and afterwards stocking his closes, while they were drenched and saturated with moisture.
Pàgina 219 - Thus far, then, it has been shown, that the amounts of food, or of its various constituents, consumed, both for a given liveweight of animal within a given time, and to produce a given amount of increase, were very much more dependent on the quantities of the non-nitrogenous, than on those of the nitrogenous constituents, which the food supplied. It has been said, that when the large requirement for...
Pàgina 215 - ... in which the subtle principle of animal life exerts its influence. Bearing then those points in mind, which must tend to modify the indications of the actual figures in the Tables, it will appear, we think, that the coincidences in the amounts of available respiratory and fat-forming constituents, consumed by a given weight of animal within a given time, or to produce a given amount of gross increase, are much more strikingly shown throughout the numerous results represented in these Tables,...
Pàgina 114 - Alternation of Generations^ is the remarkable phenomenon of an animal producing an offspring which at no time resembles its parent, but which, on the other hand, itself brings forth a progeny which returns in its form and nature to the parent animal, so that the maternal animal does not meet with its resemblance in its own brood, but in its descendants of the second, third, or fourth degree of generation. And this always takes place in the different animals which exhibit the phenomena in a determinate...
Pàgina 243 - Coleoptera in numbers ; whilst in the higher regions of the Alps, these last disappear long before the former; and amongst the insects and spiders which exist beyond the limits of eternal snow the Carnivora are more numerous than the Herbivora, this arrangement being evidently for the express purpose of protecting these last and scanty remnants of vegetation. The vegetable world is the base on which the higher orders of creation are built up. Without plants, animals cannot exist; for even the Carnivora...
Pàgina 121 - He gives the following instance, amongst others, of the danger of traversing badly drained roads. " A gentleman removed ninety sheep from a considerable distance to his own residence. On coming near to a bridge which is thrown over the Barling's river, one of the drove fell into a ditch and fractured its leg. The shepherd immediately took it in his arms to a neighbouring house, and set the limb. During this time, which did not occupy more than one hour, the remainder were left to graze in the ditches...
Pàgina 67 - ... the most general one, I believe, that has happened in the memory of man, because it rotted those deer, sheep, lambs, hares, and coneys, that fed on lands where rain-waters were retained on or near the surface of the earth for some time ; and as I have elsewhere observed, the dead bodies of rotten sheep were so numerous in roads, lanes, and fields, that their carrion stench and smell proved extremely offensive to the neighbouring parts and to passant travellers.
Pàgina 252 - ... (Falco rufus), are mischievous, for they slaughter indiscriminately the more diminutive useful birds, and even the smallest of their class devours as many birds as insects. Still the kestril falcon (Falco tinunculus), not at all a scarce bird with us, eats so many beetles, grasshoppers, and field-mice, that its utility in this respect amply repays the harm it may cause. The same description is applicable to the hobby falcon (Falco sabbutes). A flight of these last birds lately passed over the...
Pàgina 256 - Feed and protect these birds ; they will enliven your court-yards and gardens ; they will come to you in full confidence, and await the crumbs given by your hands ; they will build nests in your bushes, and amuse you by their activity and solicitude for their young; they will charm your ears with their songs of joy and gratitude ; and if throughout the land they find both protection and comfort, they will largely, and in a most striking manner, requite the benefits received by proving themselves...
