Excerpt from The Normal Course in Reading: Fifth Reader; Advanced Readings in Literature; Scientific, Geographical, Historical, Patriotic and Miscellaneous, With Analyses of Authors
As surely as the force which moves a clock's hands is derived from the arm which Winds up the clock, so surely is all terrestrial power drawn from the sun. Leaving out of account the eruptions of volcanoes, and the ebb and flow of the tides, every mechanical action on the earth's surface, every manifestation Of power, organic and inorganic, vital and physical, is produced by the sun. His warmth keeps the sea liquid, and the atmosphere a gas, and all the storms which agitate both are blown by the mechanical force of the sun. He lifts the rivers and the glaciers up to the mountains: and thus the cataract and the avalanche shoot with an energy derived immediately from him.
Thunder and lightning are also his transmitted strength. Every fire that burns and every flame that glows, dispenses light and heat which origi nally belonged to the sun. In these days, nu happily, the news of battle is familiar to us, but every shock and every charge is an application or misapplication of the mechanical force of the min. He blows the trumpet, he urges the projectile, he bursts the bomb. And, remember, this is not poetry, but rigid mechanical truth.
