'Relying on this, we have now computed our mean refractions by diminishing those of Bessel's Fundamenta in the proportion of 1 to 0.99797.'The

[Footnote 1: "Preuve de la supposition que j'ay faite: Que la matiere subtile ou etheree est necessairement composee de PETITS TOURBILLONS; et qu'ils sont les causes naturelles de tous les changements qui arrivent a la matiere; ce que je confirme par i'explication des effets les plus generaux de la Physique, tels que sont la durete des corps, leur fluidite, leur pesanteur, legerete, la lumiere et la refraction et reflexion de ses rayons.

After suggesting that the refraction of the rays in the atmosphere may be due to what he calls its 'lenticular outline,' he defines refraction to be 'the bending of a ray passing obliquely from a rarer into a denser medium,'a good enough popular definition, but for its sad defectiveness.

The envelope of his spiritual nature was so tenuous that he seemed to respond to all the subtler influences of the universe; a sensitive chord attuned to poetic values, he appeared to exercise an almost mediumistic refraction and revelation of matters which lie only in the realm of the transcendental "Weaving about the commonplace of things The golden haze of morning's blushing glow.

In mathematics I find Chances, Figure of the Earth with variable density, Differential Equations, Partial Differentials, sketch for an instrument for shewing refraction, and Optical instruments with effects of chromatic aberration.

In all these cases the light suffers refraction in passing from a medium of one density into a medium of a different density, and the refracted rays are constantly changing their direction as the different currents rise in succession.

The glass of the left eye was much thicker and fortunately less damaged, so that I was able accurately to test its refraction.

On the hypothesis of believers, the percipients somehow behold 'Such refraction of events As often rises ere they rise.'

But all these suppositions were destined to undergo refractions through the medium of a new fact.
