Wide Difference

Among the strange differences between our ancestors and their descendants of latter days is the wide difference between the feelings and language of commentators on great classical works. At the restoration of letters, when men discovered the manuscripts of the great Ancients, as some long hidden treasure, the editors of even the most trivial work were exuberant in phrases of panegyric, and superlatives of praise seemed to be almost their only terms. In the editing of modern writers, on the contrary, we find the commentator everywhere assuming a sort of critical superiority over the author he edits. Which of the two is to be blamed? I must confess that the former (even admitting him more deficient in judgment, which I am by no means prepared to allow) is more congenial with the ...

Every day's experience confirms more and more the opinion that the central heat doctrine has less foundation than formerly it was supposed to possess. Its great supporters have gradually increased the necessary thickness of the solid crust in proportion to the internal supposed fluid core from forty to eight hundred miles at least: rather a wide difference in itself, but not perhaps so very great in respect to the absolute diameter of the earth, to which such a relationship would be about in proportion to the thickness of a sheet of cartridge-paper round a 12-inch globe. We know nothing, however, so perfectly a non-conductor that so thin would resist the heat of the internal molten mass. Moreover, upon the alleged increase of temperature with depth in coal and other mines, much doubt has been thrown by the subsequently ascertained facts that in many instances the higher temperatures have disappeared after the mines had ceased to be worked. The necessity, if the interior were fluid, for internal tides below the supposed solid crust, also militates against the existence of a fluid core, because we can detect no such tides at the surface of our earth; and if they existed, it is difficult to conceive the rigidity and strength of so thin a crust to be equal to restraining them entirely; and if the crust were in the least degree yielding or elastic, we must have evidence of such tides in the heavings of the surface.

The Right

The constitution of man is tripartite; his well-being depends upon the soundness of his physical, mental, and moral condition. These three conditions are quite distinct, though they do not exist separately; a combination of them all in their different degrees and relations is necessary to the right exercise of their respective functions. They are all material, that is, they are essential conditions of the structures which represent them, and on the integrity of which their existence depends. There may be some hesitation in admitting this statement as regards the moral qualities, at the same time there is a wide difference between the feelings and passions which man possesses as a creature, and the principles of justice, mercy, and truth which are the attributes of the Creator. Mere feelings and passions belong to animals as well as to man. It is the association of these with the higher principles of which man's nature is capable that constitutes the emotions. The distinction between his moral qualities and the higher principles with which man has been endowed in order to guide them is, that the former move him in so much as they affect his physical condition, the latter simply raise and elevate his whole character. Thus, the passion of anger may excite a man and flush his face, disappointment may depress him, and fear blanch his features, but the exercise of justice, mercy, and truth do not disturb him; in proportion as he possesses these qualities he rises above his natural condition, and in proportion as he is deficient in them is his tendency to become degraded.

Margin Of Exposure

The present study investigated the dietary and urinary OTA occurrence among 44 Lebanese children. Relying on HPLC-FLD analysis, OTA was found in all the urine samples and in 46.5% and 25% of the 24 h duplicate diet and dinner samples, respectively. The means of OTA levels in positive samples were 0.32 ± 0.1 ng/g in 24 h diet, 0.32 ± 0.18 ng/g in dinner and 0.022 ± 0.012 ng/mL in urines. These values corresponded to margin of exposure (MOE) means of 7907 ± 5922 (neoplastic) and 2579 ± 1932 (non-neoplastic) calculated from positive 24 h diet, while 961 ± 599 (neoplastic) and 313 ± 195 (non-neoplastic) calculated from the urine. Since the MOE levels for the neoplastic effect were below the limit (10,000), a major health threat was detected and must be addressed as a health institutions’ priority. Besides, the wide difference between PDIs and MOEs calculated from food and urine suggests conducting further OTA’s toxicokinetics studies before using urine to measure OTA exposure.

The following description of life in a children's hospital appeared in The Children's Sunday Album, published in London in 1881.1 The wide difference between the rich and the poor child was usually accepted in the Victorian era as part of the Divine order of things. Look at this picture well, you little, bright, happy children, who are well and strong, or even any afflicted like these, and be grateful for the cheerful homes, the loving friends, the comforts which surround you! Good generous people, pitying and loving little children, have sent enough money to support them, and have them taught trades to enable them to lead useful lives, though they are cripples. See how busily at work this big girl is at the end of the form; but her crutches lying beside her tell only too plainly of her misfortune. Bad nursing in their babyhood, joyless unchildlike lives in crowded dirty streets, cause the children of the London poor to be wretched sufferers; and it is a piteous, touching sight to visit the hospitals which have been built for these poor little creatures. Everything is done for them that skill and kindness can do; but it is not like you at home in your beautiful nurseries, with your toys and books, your loving mother, and healthy little brothers and sisters making merry round. In each little bed is some poor, suffering child, tended by kind nurses certainly, but no mothers. Think of this, little ones, when inclined to be fractious and cross, and troublesome, and bless God who has made your lot so bright.

1. To determine the upper limit of the abomasal worm infestation of healthy lambs was the main object of the investigation. The results show that a lamb slaughtered fat before or shortly after weaning and therefore presumably a healthy lamb, may contain up to 2,100 Haemonchus and up to 4,670 Ostertagia.2. Infestation with Haemonchus conlortus is negligible until August.3. Infestation with Ostertagia remains almost steady from early May until mid-September.4. Infestation with Trichostrongylus axei occurs from May until mid-September, but is never a heavy one.5. The evidence suggests, but does not prove, that in mid-summer there is a wide difference in the infestation of single and twin lambs.6. The results, so far as they affect the seasonality of infestation are, strictly speaking, applicable only to the flock of the Duthie Experimental Stock Farm, but are probably true for the North-East area of Scotland.

Difference Of Opinion

As every part of the crust of the earth has at one time been the surface, it follows that all questions connected with the origin of the present “form of the ground” must be very impotant, and that on their issue the progress of Geology must in a great measure depend. But on this subject a very wide difference of opinion at present exists. According to one party, consisting of Professor Ramsay, Mr. Jukes, Mr. Geikie, Colonel Greenwood, Dr. Foster, and others, the more abrupt inequalities of the earth's surface have been produced by subaërial or atmospheric causes. According to the other school, embracing Sir Charles Lyell, Sir Roderick Murchison, Professors Sedgwick and Phillips, Mr.Edward Hull, etc., the sea has been the principal denuding or excavating agent.
