... serpents. "His body," says Gomera, "was beset with pearls, precious stones, gold, and strange ornaments, and lard for a girdle a great smike of gold, and for collars and chains around his neck ten hearts of men, made also of gold. It had also a counterfeit vizard, with eyes of glass, and in its neck death painted; all of which things," he continues, "had their considerations and meanings." (Gomera in Purchas, vol. ii., p. 1134-) It was to him in his divine character of the Destroyer that the bloodiest sacrifices of Mexico were performed. His wife, ...
322. The Ring of Truth by Isaac Vail [Books]
... a part of that planet's annular system. And more, that annular system must fall by grand installments upon the planet's surface and add enormously to the bulk of its oceans and to the depth of its sedimentary crust. To conclude otherwise is to assert that that orb is not following in the trend of orderly progression. When I direct my glass to Jupiter, that king of planets, and see it covered all over with bands, belts and striated, flickered and mottled vapors, I cannot do otherwise than conclude that away back, perhaps not very remote, these vapors were a part of Jupiter's ring system. The presence of one band upon that planet must be an unassailable ...
323. Uniformitarian Or Catastrophist? Ice Age Theory [Journals] [Velikovskian]
... fog over all Europe and a great part of North America. This fog was of a permanent nature; it was dry and the rays of the sun seemed to have little effect towards dissipating it...." They were indeed rendered so faint in passing through it that when collected in the focus of a burning [magnifying] glass, they would scarce kindle brown paper. Of course, their summer effect in heating the Earth was exceedingly diminished. "Hence, the surface was early frozen. "Hence, the first snows remained on it unmelted. "Hence, perhaps, the winter of 1783-84 was more severe than any that had happened for many years. ...
324. Applying the Revised Chronology [Journals] [Pensee]
... a courtyard (Fig. 5: 13), one reaches the palace (Fig. 5: 14). "Along one side of the porch of the large megaron [the throne room and perhaps cult center of the palace] at Tiryns was found a curious series of seven interlocking blocks of alabaster .. . inlaid with blue glass paste" forming "two elongated half-rosettes with inner patterns." The blocks' "resemblance to Doric triglyphs and metopes is very striking" (86). The bench formed by these blocks is "strikingly close to the triglyph and metope pattern of the later Doric order of architecture" (87). One source sees the Doric ...
... conclude, that the range of intensity of light to which living plants can accommodate themselves is far wider than that of heat. No palms or tree ferns can live in our temperate latitudes without protection from the cold ; but when placed in hot-houses they grow luxuriantly, even under a cloudy sky, and where much light is intercepted by the glass and frame-work. At St. Petersburg, in lat. 60 N., these plants have been successfully cultivated in hot-houses, although there they must exchange the perpetual equinox of their native regions, for days and nights which are alternately protracted to nineteen hours and shortened to five. How much farther towards the pole they might continue to ...
326. The Life of Flavius Josephus - Autobiography [Books]
... for the charges of his journey; and when he took the money, and said that he thanked me for it, I perceived that he loved money, and that he was to be caught chiefly by that means; and I said to him," If thou wilt but drink with us, thou shalt have a drachma for every glass thou drinkest." So he gladly embraced this proposal, and drank a great deal of wine, in order to get the more money, and was so drunk, that at last he could not keep the secrets he was intrusted with, but discovered them without my putting questions to him, viz. That a treacherous design was ...
327. Beneath Bauer [Books]
... As Bauer himself has written, philosophical debates about science, such as are carried out by philosophers or sociologists, are "seen by most scientists as irrelevant.") (112) They simply believe what they are told, and that includes Bauer. We may deduce, therefore, that Bauer simply sees the world of science through Merton-colored glasses and recites the dogma dutifully like a catechism. Merton's theoretical construct, with which Bauer the scientist is "enamored," is the origin of most of his erroneous perceptions. This is all that Bauer's attempt to describe science comes to. Bauer's mere parroting of the dogma, however, exhibits his most disastrous weakness regarding science, which ...

329. Evidence of Careenings of the Globe [Books]
... "luminous blue, towering more than two miles high and extending 100 miles along this coast." Others have described it as rising sharply from the ocean depth. It now blocks off the flow of the ice to the sea, increasing the weight of the Ice Cap. "Luminous blue" signifies deep glacial ice. Placed in a glass of water, it gives off air bubbles as the ice melts, the effervescence being due to the air having been under pressure. Deep glacial ice, now high up in a mountain, can only be accounted for by the theory of underground rock movements and coastal up-thrusts. Ice volcanoes, or "ice bowls" -which pockmark ...
330. Night of the Gods: The Pillar [Books]
... issues forth to Ivan. Another Russian heavens-palace is the shrine of princess Helena the Fair, built on 12 columns, and with 12 rows of beams. Therein she sits upon a high throne, 9 and up to her lips prince Ivan has to jump (on the back of the Enchanted Horse). One Indian princess lives in a glass palace surrounded by a wide river, another in a house circled by 7 hedges of spears and 7 great ditches, yet another in a garden hedged round with 7 hedges of bayonets.10 In all these cases also the hero has to leap to the princess's arms. This leap is clearly another way of getting to heaven, besides ...
