Стр. 67 - Notes" on the chinch bug, says that it "attained the maximum of its development in the summer of 1864, in the extensive wheat and corn fields of the valley of the Mississippi ; and in that single year three-fourths of the wheat and one-half of the corn crop were destroyed throughout many extensive districts, comprising almost the entire North-west, with an estimated loss of more than one hundred millions of dollars in the currency that then prevailed,

Стр. 221 - Let us make this addition to our assumption; that, at the commencement, the density of the nebulous matter was a vanishing quantity, as compared with the present density of the sun and planets ; we can then calculate how much work has been performed by the condensation ; we can further calculate how much of this work still exists in the form of mechanical force, as attraction of the planets towards the sun, and as vis viva of their motion, and find by this how much of the force has been converted...
Стр. 69 - I examined the condition of a host of these chinch bugs that had chosen for their winter covering cord-wood sticks, lying on the ground, entirely surrounded by frost and ice ; of these, 20 per cent, were living ; those that were more fortunate in their selection of winter quarters fared much better.

Стр. 222 - ... sun, we can form no conjecture, and the store of heat there existing can only be determined by very uncertain estimations. If, however, we adopt the very probable view, that the remarkably small density of so large a body is caused by its high temperature, and may become greater in time, it may be calculated that if the diameter of the sun were diminished only the ten-thousandth part of its present length, by this act a sufficient quantity of heat would be generated to cover the total emission...
