Excerpt from Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, Vol. 3 The great cold which exists in the upper air sufficiently shows that the rays from the sun do not produce any sensible rise in the temperature of the atmosphere, and that it is chie y when the rays of light approach the surface of the earth that heat becomes developed, first in the objects against which the light strikes, then indirectly in the air by contact with those substances which have been heated by the sun's rays. Air also may be artificially heated. N o doubt can enter the mind but that heat is developed by the action of the direct rays, and man and beast alike seek shelter from its effects in the cooler shades.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, Vol. 3: Bulletins XI to XV, 1893-1897 Climate may be shortly defined as the condition of a place in relation to the various phenomena of the atmosphere, as temperature, moisture, winds, etc. These vary with the geographical position, the altitude and other conditions. We are familiar with these climatic peculiarities upon the land, but in a similar way the surrounding conditions impress themselves upon submarine tracts in the ocean, affecting the distribution of life beneath its waters. Thus there are sub marine climates as well as terrestrial ones, and these some times very diverse from each other, in closely contiguous regions.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, Vol. 5 of 21 It afforded the writer great pleasure to be made the medium of the presentation of an interesting historical relic, obtained by our corresponding member at Tracadie, Dr. A. C. Smith, and by him presented to this Society. The object was thought to be of such interest that the writer was directed by the Society to prepare a note for publication in the Bulletin.

Excerpt from Bulletin of the Natural History Society of New Brunswick, Vol. 4 A few words to define what is meant by law, before entering upon my subject. The term law is understood to mean or infer a force which causes similar results under similar conditions. In calling it a law we, however, merely state a fact, we do not reach nor explain the source of the fact. This principle is manifested or acknowledged in the realm of matter, in organic life, in intellectual and moral phenomena. Thus in matter we accept the fact that liquids ever tend to take a level position. Numerous observations establish the fact, and we regard it as one law of their condition. In calling it a law, however, we do not explain the source of that fact. Looking into it further, we find that owing to gravity, or, in other words, the attraction of a large mass of matter, the earth for instance, every molecule of a liquid is virtually acted upon equally and is forced to take its place until each molecule of the upper layer occupies the same distance from the attracting body. This is, however, a mere statement of a fact. So also it is with the law of gravity. Gravity is a term only, it signifies the result of observations upon matter. We are led by many observations to recognize the sense of weight, and this eventually drives us to the conclusion that the idea of weight arises from an unseen force which draws matter towards matter. Further observations lead us to conclude that attraction is in relative proportion to the masses and their distance.
