32545 | Mr. McWha, how soon can we be moving?" |
32545 | Or seeing, would he understand? |
32545 | The question was, how soon would a ship come along? |
32545 | There was no air stirring, so why should a leaf whisper? |
32545 | Were all the packages on me, all right?" |
32545 | What better guardian of the treasure than a god? |
32545 | What can I do for you?" |
32545 | What do you think?" |
32545 | What was it?" |
32545 | What would become of the cub if she were killed? |
32545 | Why should he be afraid of this clumsy little creature? |
32545 | Would the lookout on the steamer see? |
21007 | And what isolated spots could be more welcome to the birds than these places that hold so many sad memories for human beings? |
21007 | Furthermore, were there not numerous court decisions upholding the authority of the states in their declarations of ownership of the birds and game? |
21007 | Had the killing of wild fowl suddenly lost its attraction for those who had been accustomed to seek pleasure afield with gun and decoys? |
21007 | How many persons have ever tried to answer seriously the old conundrum:"How many straws go to make a bird''s nest?" |
21007 | Is it going too far to say that the gunmen and trappers had overdone their work? |
21007 | Therefore what had the Government to do with the subject? |
21007 | They used often to ask,''Is to- morrow Bird Day, Miss Beth?'' |
21007 | Was it not written in the statutes of nearly every state that the birds and game belong to the people of the state? |
21007 | What did this mean? |
21007 | What of its companions of the night before? |
21007 | What was the good of all the long years of unceasing effort to induce women to stop wearing bird feathers, if this was a fair example of results? |
21007 | Who can see a Wild Duck swimming, or a Gull flying, without at once referring it to the group of birds to which it belongs? |
21007 | Why do not more of the birds that pass in spring tarry in this quiet place for the summer? |
21007 | Why should we not make a bird sanctuary of every city park and cemetery in America? |
21007 | Why? |
21007 | _ Ostrich Feathers Are Desirable._--How is this deep- seated desire and demand for feathers to be met? |
21007 | { 174} What was the reason for this great change? |
37009 | Had it been riding around upon the body of the butterfly waiting for the time when she should lay the eggs? |
37009 | How did this tiny creature arrive at this particular place at the particular moment when from its own point of view it was most needed? |
37009 | How is it that the instinct to become lethargic lies dormant in the summer broods of caterpillars and shows itself only in the autumn brood? |
37009 | Is it perhaps due to a reaction to the colder nights of the later season? |
37009 | One of the most interesting questions in regard to these egg parasites is this: How does the tiny parasitic fly find the newly laid egg? |
37009 | Or was it attracted to them from somewhere in the immediate vicinity? |
37009 | Perhaps you ask what is the good of all this complicated arrangement? |
37009 | Who will find out? |
38032 | Very much,I answered,"but what are they? |
38032 | After I had tasted of one, Mr. Babcock asked:"How do you like my selection?" |
38032 | With many of these species(?) |

30677 | Did you ever see a flock of us in motion, in October or November, going to our winter home? |
30677 | Did you ever see one of our nests? |
30677 | Do we go north in the summer as so many other birds do? |
30677 | Do we swallow bones and all? |
30677 | Do you not fancy that Audubon was himself a_ rara avis_ and worthy of admiration and study? |
30677 | How many eggs? |
30677 | How many eggs? |

30677 | What are we noted for? |
30677 | What do we eat? |
30677 | Where do we build our nests? |
30677 | Where do we live in summer, and what do we eat? |
30677 | With a hook and line, as you do? |
30677 | Would you like to know how my mate and I go to housekeeping? |
30677 | You think you have seen me before? |
36677 | ''Are you sure, Tony,''I rejoined,''that there are such things in existence at all?'' |
36677 | He concludes with the question--"To which of the recognized classes of created beings can this huge rover of the ocean be referred?" |
36677 | It proved to be an octopus( query, squid?) |
36677 | What more could be required? |
36677 | What, then, are these mermaids and mermen, a belief in whose existence has prevailed in all ages, and amongst all the nations of the earth? |

33687 | ''What''s the matter?'' |
33687 | Are these your tricks? |
33687 | Could his comrades, then, have assisted him? |
33687 | Had these men any quarrel? |
33687 | Has he no master?" |
33687 | How then? |
33687 | Must we not, from the analogy of the works of God, look to a future state, to find the true end of human existence? |
33687 | On being asked if he would sell her,''What will you give me?'' |
33687 | The friend who presented it to him said,"Can you not convey him home in your chaise?" |
33687 | Why so? |
33687 | he would say;''must I be so unfortunate as to have thee sold to many masters, and not keep thee myself? |
33687 | said I, softly;''is any thing amiss?'' |

25983 | Can you think why we do not? |

25983 | Did you ever hear your mamma say when she could n''t get baby to sleep at night, that he is like a little owl? |
25983 | Do n''t you remember in the Bobolink family how differently Mr. and Mrs. Bobolink were dressed? |
25983 | Do n''t you think he looks some like the Canada Jay that you saw in April"BIRDS?" |
25983 | Do n''t you think he ought to have a prettier name? |
25983 | Do n''t you think she was very kind to let me take the nest out of the hedge where I found it, so you could see the pretty greenish blue eggs? |
25983 | Do n''t you think so? |
25983 | Hear you no mother- groan floating in air, Hear you no little moan-- birdling''s despair-- Somewhere for that? |

14226 | Is n''t this terribly cold? 14226 And why had such a notion never come till the Pussywillow Moon? 14226 But why sometimes alone? 14226 Could it be of any use? 14226 Could it be possible? 14226 Did every grave give up its little inmate at the magic word? 14226 Driven off thrice with gun- shots, would she make another try to feed or free her captive young one? 14226 For weeks afterward I was almost daily accosted by some anxious shepherd, who asked,Have you seen any stray OTO sheep lately?" |
14226 | Had she no head of game for this her only charge, or had she learned to trust his captors for his food? |
14226 | Had the keen huntress failed at last? |
14226 | Have the wild things no moral or legal rights? |
14226 | How came he to know that that would please? |
14226 | How was it to end? |
14226 | Was it the drumming, or the tell- tale tracks of their snowshoes on the omnipresent snow, that betrayed them to Cuddy? |
14226 | Was it the wild, clanging cry that moved them, or was it solely the inner prompting then come to the surface? |
14226 | Was she begging for mercy-- mercy from a bloodthirsty, cruel fox? |
14226 | What right has man to inflict such long and fearful agony on a fellow- creature, simply because that creature does not speak his language? |
14226 | Whence now came the strange wish for someone else to admire the plumes? |
14226 | Who can tell what his horror and his mourning were? |
14226 | Who does not know it and feel it? |
14226 | Why does a happy boy holla? |
14226 | Why does a lonesome youth sigh? |
14226 | Why not forever with his Brownie bride? |
14226 | Would she? |
17185 | And the herring, Uncle Thomas; does not it come every year from the Polar seas to spawn on our shores? 17185 But how are the nests eaten, Uncle Thomas? |
17185 | But, Uncle Thomas, do n''t you think it is very cruel to kill the beaver so? 17185 But, Uncle Thomas, what can be the use of such animals as white ants? |
17185 | Do they carry the spoil with them when they are thus disturbed, Uncle Thomas? |
17185 | Good evening, Uncle Thomas? 17185 Is it want of food which makes birds migrate, Uncle Thomas?" |
17185 | Is the beaver used for food, then, Uncle Thomas? |
17185 | Of what are they made, Uncle Thomas? 17185 That is enormous, Uncle Thomas?" |

28530 | Will you believe it, boys? 28530 An''what''s he goin''to eat, anyways, I''d like to know? |
28530 | But what was wanted of him? |
28530 | But where was his rifle? |
28530 | Could it be that they wanted him? |
28530 | Do you suppose that grizzly was goin''to be afraid o''_ me?_ He''d seen me afraid o''_ him_, all right. |
28530 | If not Brace Timmins''dog, as every one made prudent haste to acknowledge, then whose dog was it? |
28530 | Let me be now, wo n''t''ee, old mate?" |
28530 | See?" |
28530 | Should he bag this bear, or should he wait and sound his call again a little later, in the hope of yet summoning the great bull? |
28530 | The wolf cocked his ears slightly and looked about carelessly, as if to say,"What''s that?" |
28530 | Was he badly hurt? |
28530 | Was he to die of thirst and hunger on this high solitude before he could recover sufficiently to climb down? |
28530 | What dog indeed could have mastered Anderson''s"Dan"? |

28530 | Where was the rest of the pack? |
18214 | Are we going up to the north? |
18214 | Are we taking him to the south? |
18214 | But what is that? |
18214 | Did we seek out the poodle, the collie, or the mastiff from among the wolves and the jackals, or did he come spontaneously to us? |
18214 | Do we ask that he should drive our flocks? |
18214 | Do we intend him to watch and defend our house? |
18214 | Does our prey hide under wood? |
18214 | For how can a poor dog, loving, devoted, faithful, disgrace the name of a man or an imaginary hero? |
18214 | From the ears pricked up to catch the words of man? |
18214 | From the ingenuous and melting eyes? |
18214 | How are we to stand in the street, in the fields, in the market- place, in the shops? |
18214 | Is he intended only for us to play with, to amuse the leisure of our eyes, to adorn or enliven the home? |
18214 | Is he to aid us in the pursuit of game in the plains? |
18214 | What is it now? |
18214 | What is it? |
18214 | When was this recognition of man by beast, this extraordinary passage from darkness to light, effected? |
18214 | Whence exactly did that smile emanate? |
18214 | Whom are you to suffer, whom to stop?... |
18214 | Why rechristen him? |
18214 | Why? |
18214 | Would you have an example? |
38315 | Is it a preconceived idea which is the cause that one regards them in this manner? |
38315 | Is not the lamina of the claw comparable to the wall of the hoof? |
38315 | Let us, then, ask the question: Those artists whose eminence nobody would dare to question, did they study anatomy? |
38315 | Should we, then, in order to maintain the symmetry with human anatomy, first study the forearm in the position of supination? |
38315 | What has become of the other two, the sterno- cleido mastoid and the deltoid? |
38315 | Wherefore this preference? |
18767 | But is the story a true one? |
18767 | Well, then, Giotto, should you like to come and live with me, and learn how to draw, and paint sheep like this, and horses, and even men? |
18767 | What,says one of them,"brother, do you make a practice of hanging sheep?" |
18767 | Whose son are you? |
18767 | ''What do I see?'' |
18767 | And hast thou fixed my doom, kind master, say? |
18767 | And hast thou fixed my doom, sweet master, say? |
18767 | And wilt thou kill thy servant, old and poor? |
18767 | And wilt thou kill thy servant, old and poor? |
18767 | But what could they do? |
18767 | But where was the midnight musician? |
18767 | Did you ever hear of Giotto, the great painter Giotto? |
18767 | Did you ever hear them say any thing about meeting a single one of the heroes of the frightful stories you have heard? |
18767 | Did you ever see an old cat preparing to make a spring at a mouse or a bird? |
18767 | Friend reader, did you ever see the rabbit bounding along through the bushes, when you have been walking in the woods? |
18767 | His countenance was animated, bearing even an expression of joy; it was evident he had found the child-- but was he dead or alive? |
18767 | How knowing they must have looked, as they said one to another,"Was n''t that thing managed pretty nicely?" |
18767 | She was a heroine, was she not? |
18767 | The biter was bitten that time, was n''t he? |
18767 | Was not this act of the cat the result of something very nearly related to what we call reason, when exhibited in man? |
18767 | Well, if it is not the dark, what is it you are afraid of? |
18767 | What could the poor woman do? |
18767 | What could we do without the labor of this noble and faithful animal? |
18767 | What was to be done? |
18767 | Where shall I begin? |
18767 | With Rover, my old friend Rover-- my companion and play- fellow, when a little boy? |
18767 | Would it not be well for some of our fathers and mothers to attend school, a quarter or so, in one of their villages? |

26500 | ''Do you think,''said he,''I will allow my hounds to hunt a bag- fox? |
26500 | ''Is this your dog, my friend?'' |
26500 | ''Sir, how know ye that?'' |
26500 | ''What on earth is the matter with the dog?'' |
26500 | ''Why so? |

26500 | His first inquiry was, whether his dog had been seen? |
26500 | Indeed, where shall we find the man who is free from it? |
26500 | Is not this reasoning? |
26500 | Is the dog guided in acting thus by instinct or reason? |
26500 | May I beg of you the favour to tell me your name?" |
26500 | Was not this a kind of moral sense? |
26500 | What name shall be given To that faculty, Which thus made expectation A source of joy, Which thus made expectation A source of grief?''" |
26500 | Where shall we find dogs possessing such a combination of fine and noble qualities? |
26500 | Who knows for a certainty the true prototype of the goat, the sheep, or the ox? |
26500 | and is it possible that you are subjected to ill treatment, cruelty, and neglect by those who owe you a large debt of gratitude? |

38077 | All day long he is shuffling about on the ground picking up minute atoms, whether seeds or insects, who knows? |
38077 | But on what object is it intent all this while? |
38077 | But what, it may be asked, can a bird little larger than a Sparrow find to do with a filbert, or even a hazel- nut? |
38077 | If so, why should they hang about the''old house at home''so many days before they begin to set in order again the future nursery? |

33421 | If man derived his other faculties from such an ancestry, may not his speech have been acquired from such a source? |

33421 | If the prototype of man has survived through all the vicissitudes of time, may not his speech likewise have survived? |
33421 | If the races of mankind are the progeny of the Simian stock, may not their languages be the progeny of the Simian tongue? |
33421 | If the voluntary sounds they make do not mean something, why may those creatures not as well be dumb? |
33421 | If their sounds convey a fixed idea on a given subject from one mind to another, what more does human speech accomplish? |
33421 | If their sounds discharge all the functions of speech, in what respect are they not speech? |
33421 | If they do mean something, why may we not determine what that meaning is? |
33421 | In what respect would man be less god- like if it be shown that monkeys talk? |
33421 | The question has been asked,"Who is the progenitor of man?" |
33421 | Then why should the vocal powers alone be abnormal, except in a degree measured by the difference of place which they occupy in the scale of Nature? |
33421 | Was this instinct? |
33421 | What else but reason could have prompted this act? |
33421 | What less than reason could have prompted these dogs to such an act? |
33421 | Where shall the line be drawn which separates these attributes? |
33421 | Why are all forms of mammals endowed with vocal organs? |

34131 | A boy is often easily surprised by a playmate who approaches him stealthily from behind, but did you ever try the same game with a butterfly? |
34131 | Are we looking at a deformity?--a failure on the part of Nature to produce what she ought? |
34131 | But how is this to be done? |
34131 | But how many facets do we find in a single eye? |
34131 | But how will the caterpillar proceed if it is removed from its native tree and has no bark to gnaw? |
34131 | But what if you give it_ nothing_ with which to work, and so inclose it that nothing its jaws can pierce is within its reach? |
34131 | But why not call them legs, seeing that they are used in walking? |
34131 | Did we not say only a few minutes since, that a beautiful butterfly or moth was about to emerge? |
34131 | Does the female herself derive any benefit from the particular plant chosen for this purpose? |
34131 | Has the perfect insect any selfish motive in this apparently careful selection of a plant on which to lay its eggs? |
34131 | How shall we account for the fact that the specimens so kindly sent us by our friends are generally moths? |
34131 | How, then, is this? |
34131 | Is it because moths are more numerous and more frequently seen? |
34131 | Is it due to a poorness of the soil? |
34131 | Shall the boards be perfectly flat on the top, or shall the sides slope from the groove, or shall the surface be rounded? |
34131 | The mournful thought with them is,''Is life worth living?'' |

19850 | Again he speaks of"the land of darkness and the shadow of death,"and says:"Man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? |

19850 | Merely because we have a superior intellect which enables us to rule and enslave the animals, shall we deny them all intellect and all feeling? |
19850 | Nothing demonstrates plainer that they have a common language; otherwise, how could they understand that one of their number had been wounded? |
19850 | Or who could fail to interpret the glee when he has done a noble deed and been praised by his master? |
19850 | Suppose a wolf or a wild hog could not tell how many dogs were attacking it? |
19850 | Then why should he not consider the animals as only a little lower than himself? |
19850 | What more is there for us to learn of Nature''s secrets? |
19850 | Whence came that most preposterous idea? |
19850 | Who can be sure that he does n''t know it? |
19850 | Why should the animal be punished by death, if he has no soul to be forfeited? |
19850 | Why should we fall into the colossal ignorance and conceit of cataloging every human- like action of animals under the word"instinct"? |

1901 | What was it in the air? |

43713 | Kane, in his_ Catalogue of the Lepidoptera of Ireland_, mentions a specimen taken in Co. Kerry, July 21, 1865; one from near Belfast[ in 1875? |
43713 | Moths( Heterocera) also belong to the same order, and the first point to deal with is how may butterflies be distinguished from moths? |
26457 | But how do they become sensible of it? |
26457 | But how is it possible to conceive that their ovaries contain male eggs alone? |
26457 | But this expansion will be imperfect; why? |
26457 | But what is the secret means employed by nature to induce her departure? |
26457 | But what is the use of these laminæ? |
26457 | But what means does she use to excite their fury against them? |
26457 | But why do they lay male eggs only? |
26457 | But why does nature exact so great a sacrifice? |
26457 | But why has nature prohibited copulation within the hives? |
26457 | Do they by any secret means excite the fury of the combatants? |
26457 | Here then is the same result as M. Hattorf obtained? |
26457 | How do the bees on the surface of the comb discover that the queen is not on the next comb? |
26457 | Is it because after losing the antennæ, these queens have no more any characteristic which distinguishes the one from the other? |
26457 | Is it true, that it is unproductive unless fixed in this manner? |
26457 | Is their object to accelerate the combat? |
26457 | It may be asked whether that part we call the penis, is the sole part introduced into the female during copulation? |
26457 | May not the old mother be disgusted with her habitation? |
26457 | What influence has the size of the cells where the eggs are deposited on the bees produced? |
26457 | What is the physical cause of this difference? |
26457 | Why then can they no longer distinguish the worms of drones when deposited in the royal cells? |
26457 | Why therefore in this experiment did the workers allow their mutilated queen to depart alone? |
26457 | Why, after rendering the queen so much attention while she lived among them, did they abandon her now on her departure? |
26457 | Why, then, is this order inverted by retarded copulation? |
26457 | Why? |
26457 | Why? |
26457 | _ IS THE QUEEN OVIPAROUS? |
26457 | or may she not be influenced by some particular circumstances to abandon all her possessions to the young female? |

28077 | How do you know, mother? 28077 Mother, what is the world?" |
28077 | My dear son, what is the world like? |
28077 | Please, sir,asked the wee simple things,"are you a mouse?" |
28077 | Pray tell me why? |
28077 | What are mouse- traps? |
28077 | What do you mean by the goose taking her? |
28077 | What will you do? |
28077 | Where''s my brooch? |
28077 | Who will pipe? |
28077 | Who will play For us to- day? |
28077 | Who''ll be the bearers? |
28077 | Who''ll dig her grave? |
28077 | Why do you let the poor creature come all the way by herself, and across the bridge, too? 28077 Why not here?" |
28077 | Yes; but where? |
28077 | --"Who saw her die?" |
28077 | Ah, what am I to do?" |
28077 | And what do you think I saw? |
28077 | Did you ever see such a thing in your life As three blind mice? |
28077 | Do n''t you hear? |
28077 | Do n''t you see? |
28077 | Have you ever been there?" |
28077 | He rapped at the door, and asked of the woman who opened it,"Does the blind woman who comes to church every Sunday live here?" |
28077 | How came you here?" |
28077 | If she did not come down before the meal was begun, Polly would say, in the most piteous tone,"Where''s dear mother? |
28077 | In a little while they came up where the old cow was feeding; and White- paw, taking off his hat, said,"Please, are you a mouse?" |
28077 | Is not dear mother well?" |
28077 | Little Bo- peep said,"Why do you keep So near to me every day, sir? |
28077 | Next she will cry; and if you say,"Poor Poll, what is the matter?" |
28077 | Next they met a motherly old hen, who was busy in scratching up food for her chickens; and White- paw asked,"Please, ma''am, are you a mouse?" |
28077 | Now, do n''t you think my little bunny Must be kind as well as funny? |
28077 | Pertnose?" |
28077 | The mouse he caught, and then he cried:"What next am I to do? |
28077 | The rook he cawed, and he hummed and hawed, And muttered,"What matter, what matter?" |
28077 | What does this little blind animal, that can only creep along, do? |
28077 | Where shall I wander? |
28077 | With your very sharp beak, pray what do you seek, For you always seem just in my way, sir?" |
28077 | _ ALICE''S BUNNY._ Would you hear about my bunny, All his little ways so funny? |
28077 | and how does it get away from enemies? |

27933 | Do n''t you know that a beaver''s tail is supposed to be one of the finest delicacies in the woods? |
27933 | Put him back in the water? 27933 Say, Hulbert, what am I going to do?" |
27933 | Why do n''t you eat it? |
27933 | And is it likely that, even if he had tried for weeks and weeks, he could ever have found his wife of the previous summer? |
27933 | But how did his new friend feel about it? |
27933 | But was he hit hard? |
27933 | But was she the same wife who had helped him make the Glimmerglass ring with his shouting twelve months before? |
27933 | But what does that matter? |
27933 | But where was that gap in the fence? |
27933 | But you think he might have stayed with her, anyhow? |
27933 | Did you know that among all God''s creatures the birds are the only ones whose eyes close naturally in death? |
27933 | Do you blame him for not being more faithful to the memory of the bird who was shot at his side only a few months before? |
27933 | Do you suppose they recognized their mother? |
27933 | Do you think he was very inconstant? |
27933 | Do you want to know what they looked like? |
27933 | Does it make you wish you were a loon yourself? |
27933 | Had not she, too, put on a wedding- garment just like his? |
27933 | How could it have happened? |
27933 | Or shall we say the old love of work, and of using the powers and faculties that God had given him? |
27933 | Or, is there something deeper than that? |
27933 | Was it any wonder if he sometimes felt as if he would like to fight every other buck in Michigan, and all of them at once? |
27933 | Was it any wonder if in time the Porcupine came to think himself invulnerable? |
27933 | Was it to be reasonably expected that Mahng, when he was ready to return, would search every pond and stream from the Cumberland to the Gulf? |
27933 | Was not half of his right hand gone, and three toes from his left hind foot? |
27933 | What do you take me for?" |
27933 | Why should one live on rye- bread when one can have cake and ice- cream? |
27933 | Why should the thing that is called genius in a man be set down as instinct when we see it on a somewhat smaller scale in an animal? |

27933 | Would she go with him? |
27933 | in a triumphant tone;"who says mice are n''t good bait? |
40109 | And why should not heads be collected and made much of, as well as pelts and meat? |
40109 | Are the forelegs, and hind legs also, too close together? |
40109 | As the specimen gets old, and its circumference grows smaller by degrees, and beautifully(?) |
40109 | Do not the legs walk naturally? |
40109 | Is one of the front legs bent forward at the carpal joint? |
40109 | Is the animal coupled too short? |
40109 | Is the manikin now so secure that you can sit upon it without racking it? |
40109 | It certainly gives a better specimen, and if such tricks leave no visible trace upon the animal, where is the harm? |
40109 | Of course, if you care to travel with them and see to their handling at every transfer, that is another thing, but who can do that? |
40109 | What is a tiger worth with the top of his head blown off, or a deer with a great hole torn in his side by an explosive bullet? |
40109 | What is the matter? |

29839 | Ai n''t he the livin''image of Jim? |
29839 | And will you swear, too? |
29839 | But I thought as how ye would n''t kill anything? |
29839 | But how do you know there are sixteen or twenty beaver in my pond? |
29839 | But tell me, why did you bring me away out here to_ this_ pond, to tell me all this, when you could have done it just as well at_ my_ pond? |
29839 | But what do_ I_ care about_ trapping_ beaver? |
29839 | But why do n''t you_ shoot_ the poor little beggars? 29839 But, father,"protested his wife, in a doubtful voice,"how kin I leave Lidy an''Joe here alone?" |
29839 | But,continued Jabe,"what would ye say would most upset the beaver and make''em careless?" |
29839 | Did ever you see the likes of it, father? |
29839 | Hain''t I never set for hours in the wet ma''sh, never movin''a finger, waitin''for the geese? |
29839 | Hain''t I never sneaked up on a watchin''buck, or laid so still I''ve fooled a bear? |
29839 | Hardly seems fair to take them that way, does it? |
29839 | If we take away their guns, what''s the good of making them swear? |
29839 | So? |
29839 | The children? |
29839 | What are you going to do with them, Jabe? |
29839 | What do you mean by that? 29839 What do you mean?" |
29839 | What is it? |
29839 | What size do you use for the beaver? |
29839 | What''s it mean, Kid? 29839 Why-- where''ve they all gone to?" |
29839 | You do n''t, hey, sonny? |
29839 | You understand? 29839 An''what''s kep''you? 29839 And are you sure you could keep still long enough to see anything? |
29839 | And why did n''t Dave speak? |
29839 | And will you take oath, also, that you will never, in any way, try to get even with either him or me for having downed you this way?" |
29839 | But what''s wrong here? |
29839 | Can I have him, Unc''Joe?" |
29839 | Had he any special business with us, do you suppose?" |
29839 | How were they going to keep this unwelcome visitor from betraying them? |
29839 | IF ANYBODY WANTS TO SAY, WHY NOT? |
29839 | Now, supposin''you was goin''to trap, where would ye set the traps?" |
29839 | See?" |
29839 | That''s quicker for both, and just as easy for you, ai n''t it?" |
29839 | Then he said:"That was a mighty slick shot of yourn, d''ye know it? |
29839 | Then why had she not come? |
29839 | What could it mean? |
29839 | What will you show me?" |
29839 | What''s all this blood all over ye?" |
29839 | Where''s she gone to?" |
29839 | Where''s your camp, men?" |
29839 | Will you do as I ask you, or shall I go and get them?" |
29839 | what''s happened to him?" |
3031 | A what? |
3031 | How''s things on the Perico? |
3031 | Is n''t this terribly cold? 3031 Nigh about chuck time?" |
3031 | What, you did n''t shoot? |
3031 | Where did you run across him? |
3031 | You did n''t have no reefreshments along? |
3031 | And why had such a notion never come till the Pussywillow Moon? |
3031 | And yet when, long afterward, I told this to one skilled in the occult, he looked grave, and said,"Bingo always turned to you in a crisis?" |
3031 | But why sometimes alone? |
3031 | Could it be of any use? |
3031 | Could it be possible that he had really killed the widow''s sheep? |
3031 | Could it be possible? |
3031 | Did every grave give up its little inmate at the magic word? |
3031 | Driven off thrice with gunshots, would she make another try to feed or free her captive young one? |
3031 | For weeks afterward I was almost daily accosted by some anxious shepherd, who asked,"Have you seen any stray OTO sheep lately?" |
3031 | Had she no head of game for this her only charge, or had she learned to trust his captors for his food? |
3031 | Had the keen huntress failed at last? |
3031 | Have the wild things no moral or legal rights? |
3031 | How came he to know that that would please? |
3031 | How was it to end? |
3031 | I took charge of the horses, vastly relieved, and with an air of assumed unconcern, asked,"All right?" |
3031 | If we were to abandon a yaller dog, a greyhound, and a bulldog on a desert island, which of them after six months would be alive and well? |

3031 | Sometimes his inspection produced only an air of grave attention, as though he said to himself,"Dear me, who the deuce is this?" |
3031 | The scornful reply of his owner was,"Why do n''t you try to buy one of the children?" |
3031 | Was it the drumming, or the tell- tale tracks of their snow- shoes on the omnipresent snow, that betrayed them to Cuddy? |
3031 | Was it the wild, clanging cry that moved them, or was it solely the inner prompting then come to the surface? |
3031 | Was she begging for mercy-- mercy from a bloodthirsty, cruel fox? |
3031 | What did it all mean? |
3031 | What right has man to inflict such long and fearful agony on a fellow- creature, simply because that creature does not speak his language? |
3031 | What satisfaction would be derived from a ten- page sketch of the habits and customs of Man? |
3031 | What should he do? |
3031 | What sleepless angel is it watches over and cares for the wild animals? |
3031 | What would become of me now? |

3031 | Why does a happy boy holla? |
3031 | Why does a lonesome youth sigh? |
3031 | Why not forever with his Brownie bride? |
3031 | Without stirring I said,"Bing, do n''t you know me?" |
3031 | Would she? |

44729 | CHAPTER XIII What Became of the Wild Pigeon? |
44729 | If these flocks were pigeons, where have they been hiding all these years? |
44729 | Such being the case, can any blame be given an Emmett County jury if they required evidence direct and to the point before convicting? |
44729 | What are you hustling around so for with your old shot pouch and powder- flask? |
44729 | You may ask, What did you do with so many pigeons? |
38516 | What are they aiming at, what are they trying for? |
38516 | Are there the same differences among the bees, perhaps, as among ourselves, some of them being gossips, and others not given to talk? |
38516 | Has a council of bees been summoned to consider whether they really must go? |
38516 | Is she commanding or imploring? |
38516 | Is she hastening their departure, or trying to prevent it? |
38516 | Is she the cause of all this emotion, or merely its victim? |
38516 | Is this so certain? |
38516 | Need we wonder, then, if our knowledge is still somewhat limited? |
38516 | Oh bees, we wonder, why all this toil and suffering? |
38516 | Oh little city, so full of faith, and mystery, and hope, why do your thousands of workers sacrifice themselves so cheerfully? |
38516 | What happens then to the old queen? |
38516 | What is this"spirit of the hive"--where is it to be found? |
38516 | What would the bees do, if we, by force or by some trick, were to bring a second queen into the city? |
38516 | Who is it selects from the crowd those who shall stay behind, and dictates who are to go? |
38516 | Why, one asks, do they show this amazing zeal; what makes them so cheerfully abandon all their present happiness? |
38516 | Why, we ask ourselves, why do they give up their sleep, the delights of honey, the leisure that their winged brother, the butterfly, enjoys so gaily? |
38516 | Would the mere sight of our movements, our buildings, machines and canals, give him any very real idea of ourselves? |
38516 | You may ask, perhaps, what does it matter to us whether the bees have or have not a real intelligence of their own? |
38516 | You will wonder, can these be the same friendly, hard- working bees that you have so often watched in the past? |

38675 | How was it possible that such an awful sound should come from those unmoving wings? |
38675 | Or how long would those ravening watchers remain obedient to the authority that denied their hunger relief? |
38675 | Then he came and glared up at McLaggan, as much as to say:"Did you see that? |
38675 | What d''ye want fer her as she stands?" |
38675 | What d''ye want o''me, anyhow?" |
38675 | What if one of the misguided birds should foul his propeller or come blundering aboard and snap a stay or a control wire? |
38675 | What was the chill and lonely wilderness to him, a dog? |
38675 | What was the great owl trying to get at, when the precious fish were all spread out before her? |
38675 | What''ll ye take?" |
38675 | What, then, was in the basket? |
38675 | Why did not the fugitive stop and make ready some defense? |
38675 | Why should he not climb up and help himself? |
46416 | But what about the white breast of this bird, which marks it out at long distances against the dark rock or water? |
46066 | One can be interesting and easy even in writing on the driest scientific subject,--why not then give ease and grace to our museum specimens? |
46066 | This much being decided, it at once occurs to the beginner, What kind of a weapon shall I get? |
46066 | Thus if you are unable to determine the sex satisfactorily, say so by drawing a line through the sex mark and substituting a query(?). |

43496 | 804 Ptilophora 3 Notodontæ? |
43496 | 816 Arcturus 6 Lariæ? |
43496 | And again, may not minor centres typify those beings on whom HE has been pleased to bestow a marked superiority over those around them? |
43496 | From this position, then, a further and still more important question arises,--What is the type of Lepidoptera? |
43496 | Have we not already experienced the greatest difficulty in finding three good approaches, the smallest number which a sub- class can possess? |
43496 | Let us ask, To what does all the arrangement tend which has here been so lavishly bestowed? |
43496 | Now, is this applicable to Papilio? |
43496 | Such a heterogeneous group, then, is Neuroptera: its characters as given,[27] I believe, perfectly correct; and can any one say they are sufficient? |
43496 | The next species I am acquainted with seems to be Rumia cratægaria, and after it the Thorn moths, as they are termed( Crocallis? |
43496 | What term can then be applied to designate the real value of this species of approach? |
43496 | Where this is the case, what can definition avail? |

26014 | Is it real science-- or what is it-- which would label syenite a"Leicestershire"rock? |

38003 | INTRODUCTION HOW TO LEARN A BIRD''S NAME"How can I learn to know the birds?" |

38003 | The questions Why use all these Latin terms? |
38003 | What is the significance of this third name? |
38003 | Why not call Eastern, Western and Southern Robins by one name,_ Planesticus migratorius_, without regard to their climatic variations? |
38003 | Why not call the bird"Robin"and be done with it? |
38003 | With back always(?) |
38003 | _ Notes._ Call, a petulant, complaining_ whang_; song, a broken, rambling recitative"you see it-- you know it-- do you hear me?--do you believe it?" |
38003 | _ Notes._ Call, a scolding_ cack_; song like Red- eye''s but richer, more deliberate,_ see me_;_ I''m here_;_ where are you_? |
38003 | _ Notes._ Calls, varied, often harsh and scolding; song, an emphatic whistle_ who are you, eh_? |
38003 | or_ what''s that you say?_, and a low medley often including imitations of the notes of other birds. |
38003 | || WHAT BIRD IS THAT? |
45063 | And what is their reward? |
45063 | As this date is about the period of breeding in slightly lower latitudes, may not this writer have been somewhat hasty in expressing his opinion? |
45063 | But would the plan be feasible? |
45063 | Do you perceive the stately, deliberate gait, the sideward glance, the statue- like repose? |
45063 | Does she hesitate? |
45063 | Such being so, what is there to prevent the introduction of them into our yards? |
45063 | The sense of hearing being well- developed, may not this function be called into requisition at such times? |
45063 | Was this arrangement the result of blind chance, or were the rags placed there for some special purpose? |
45063 | What would our worthy friend say should he meet with another just like the one we have described? |
45063 | Whence come these birds? |
45063 | While this is going on, the male bird busies himself with the food- matters? |
46825 | I am quite prepared for the question, however,"But why did you not include such and such a bird?" |
46825 | I say this because I have been asked so often the question, Why do the Storks behave in this curious way? |
46825 | The question is asked and asked, but no very distinct answer comes, why are the birds so tame in Egypt? |
46825 | Was it ever common in ancient Egypt? |
46825 | What is it, then, that the Swallows and Martins do to make their nests adhere? |
45086 | What bird_ was_ that? 45086 But ask of anyone, How is it done? 45086 How are they fixed to the skeleton? 45086 How is it done with such incredible speed and accuracy? 45086 How is it that birds ever came to such a pass? 45086 How should one describe the wing of a bird, as one sees it in flight? 45086 What bird can beat him, or even match him, in the art of doubling back on his tracks? 45086 What were theirnobler traits"? |
45086 | Who could mistake the goldfinch for any one else but himself? |
45086 | Who needs to be told that birds fly? |
45086 | Why did that giant razor- bill known as the great auk become flightless? |
45086 | Why do they not fly all abreast? |
45086 | Why does the woodcock invariably drop after a charge of shot, even though not a pellet has touched it, while a snipe pursues its way? |
45086 | Why is it that ducks and geese commonly fly either in Indian file, or in a roughly V- shaped formation, with the apex of the V forward? |
45086 | Why then, did the penguin suffer the loss of the use of his wings for flight? |

42277 | What can it mean? |
42277 | What will Ben do? |
42277 | Why, Johnny and Jenny,I said,"why do you do this? |
42277 | A small boy instantly asked,"What do you do to be good to bears?" |
42277 | But is the grizzly bear ferocious? |
42277 | But what killed the cow? |
42277 | Did he intend to assault me, or was he overcome with curiosity because of my unusual actions and trying to discover what they were all about? |
42277 | Did the grizzly know we were unarmed? |
42277 | Did the grizzly know what this shadow- thing was, and was all this just jolly make- believe? |
42277 | Had these bears gone to explore, to see the opportunities of a new region? |
42277 | Let those so minded ask themselves the question, If promiscuous interbreeding were to take place, what would become of the species? |
42277 | Often his expression, his attitude, indicated that he was saying to himself:"What was that? |
42277 | Or had they returned to old territory which they knew, perhaps to obtain some particular kind of food, or just to have an outing? |
42277 | The topography of the country traveled had some bearing on the common route taken, but why were they traveling together? |
42277 | Were they, I wondered, heading for a new home, or was this an annual foraging affair? |
42277 | What are those strange shadows running from, and how can they move without a sound?" |
42277 | What caused it? |
42277 | What is the grizzly''s condition in the spring after months of fasting? |
42277 | What shall I do with you?" |
42277 | What were his intentions? |
42277 | What, too, are his feelings over the increased friendly interest in his species all over the nation? |
42277 | Where did that noise come from? |
42277 | Where does he make his first home? |
42277 | Why is the young grizzly so small? |
42277 | Will the Grizzly be Exterminated? |
42277 | thought Adams,"help me or join his own kind and also attack me?" |
40035 | And who knows but the mechanism of these creatures is set to respond to the swiftly traveling ions which make wireless telegraphy possible? |
40035 | Can there be an instinctive fear of anything that crawls, or is not this fear taught us by unthinking persons? |
40035 | Can you imagine a male and female calling to each other through the long and winding passageways beneath the ground? |
40035 | Can you imagine an insect daring enough to brave the stings of the thousands of workers in a bee''s nest? |
40035 | Did the Pharaohs, I wonder, or their wise men, seeing this, model their mummy cases after those which the butterflies make? |
40035 | Did they go as far as evolution could go when it leaves the male out of account? |
40035 | Does this picture represent, I wonder, one of the nightmare visions which haunt the dreams of baby flies? |
40035 | Have you ever found a butterfly hanging beneath a leaf on a cold summer morning drenched with dew and stiff with cold? |
40035 | Have you ever seen one trying to cross a field in a rain- storm and observed it vainly attempting to navigate the conflicting air currents? |
40035 | How comes it that these forms of life have changed so little in a million years? |
40035 | Is it any wonder then that men should be puzzled to know just what the true grasshopper hears? |
40035 | Is this, I wonder, an insect make- believe, a caterpillar mask, as it were, to frighten away enemies? |
40035 | The puzzle is, where do they come from so suddenly? |
40035 | There is something fascinatingly strange to me in the babies of the winged butterflies, and I wonder why so many people have an aversion for them? |
40035 | These long- horned wood borers do not themselves bore into the wood; how could they with their long antennæ? |
40035 | This is supposed to be its ear, but what it hears and what it does not hear, who can tell? |
40035 | Whence came our aversion to the spotless, winged grasshopper as food and our fondness for the flesh of the wallowing swine? |
40035 | Where are the males, those representatives of society, those voters of our human colonies? |
40035 | Where do they come from and what becomes of them? |
40035 | Where do they roost at night and on rainy days? |
40035 | Why did the ants, with their marvelous instincts, fail to conquer the world? |
40035 | Why have they stood still for thousands of years after they had perfected their social organization? |
40362 | Among a host of animals that present so many differences, how do we determine what shall be considered as belonging to one and the same kind? |
40362 | Are we to suppose that animals which possess a Trochosphere larva are all descended from one common ancestor? |
40362 | But how do we know when a number of animals are all of one kind? |
40362 | But how many, and how nearly related? |
40362 | But if they are skin- structures, how come they in the mouth and throat? |
40362 | But_ why_ do variations occur? |
40362 | Do they entirely resemble these, or is there a difference somewhere? |
40362 | Do we see a family of the poorest class clever, and industrious, and refined? |
40362 | Do we see young people rude and stupid? |
40362 | How does the Starfish know where it is going? |
40362 | How does the_ Murex_ get its living? |
40362 | How is this supplied? |
40362 | How often does the clerk, tied to his desk, fail in health and die? |
40362 | How often does the young mountaineer, less agile than his fellows, come by a violent death? |
40362 | How then do these adaptations take place? |
40362 | How, then, is the animal to be fed? |
40362 | Is each Hydroid of the colony an animal, and the jelly- fish another animal? |
40362 | It will naturally be asked, how does this living filter work? |
40362 | Now comes a puzzling question-- Which part of this family group shall we select and call it an"animal"? |
40362 | Of late years it has occurred to scientific men to apply this principle in the case of human beings, and to ask,"What can the baby teach us?" |
40362 | The name often puzzles the beginner, who asks, bewildered,"But do Bivalves ever have any teeth?" |
40362 | This is when the animal is lying quiet at the bottom of the water, but when it moves about what effect will the presence of the holes produce? |
40362 | What is the kind of degeneracy that overtakes the family of the brain- worker? |
40362 | What is the outcome of all this sorting of the animal kingdom? |
40362 | What name must we give to the units, so curiously connected with one another? |
40362 | When the specimens arrive, what is to be done with them? |
40362 | _ Firstly_, how does he obtain the raw material for his work? |
48031 | HAVE YOU HEARD OF REICHERT''S FLUORESCENT MICROSCOPE? |
48031 | Lumbriconereidæ_ Lumbriconereis erecta_(?) |
48031 | On July 28 two of the genus_ Hermissenda_ and one_ Spurilla_(?) |
48031 | This interesting form was taken from a large mass of the tubes of_ Vermetus_(_ squamigerus?_)( gasteropod). |
14701 | What authority have you? |
14701 | Afraid of a snake? |
14701 | And Mux? |
14701 | And did the squirrels_ remember_ that the nuts were in there, or did they_ smell_ them through the rubber? |
14701 | And the fish- hawks? |
14701 | And what mink would? |
14701 | And where do these millions sleep? |
14701 | And who was he but_ Procyon lotor_--_Procyon_"the washer"? |
14701 | As we went from cage to cage, he said he had read how boa- constrictors eat, and would n''t I show him how these snakes eat? |
14701 | But did he? |
14701 | But how could I feed them? |
14701 | But is it not perfectly legitimate and gentlemanly to shoot such a woodchuck to save one''s peaches? |
14701 | But suppose the tree does die? |
14701 | But the dragon in the swale-- ought I to tolerate him? |
14701 | But the redbirds, bluebirds, rabbits? |
14701 | But what were oysters for if not to be washed? |
14701 | But where will they go to escape the sparrows? |
14701 | But who could cast his pearls, or, to be scientifically and literally correct, his mothers of pearls, before such a swine? |
14701 | Can hate and fear show there? |
14701 | Can he? |
14701 | Can the leopard change his spots or the racoon his habits? |
14701 | Come; do you hear?" |
14701 | Could she be so love- blind as not to see what they were and not eat them? |
14701 | Dat a coon? |
14701 | Did he know a frog? |
14701 | Did they mark the light at Marblehead? |
14701 | Did you ever wait with a gun until a woodchuck came out of his hole? |
14701 | Do n''t you see this awful monster swelling, swelling into this hideous hump? |
14701 | Do the blackbirds nest here for the protection afforded by the presence of the hawks? |
14701 | Do they come for the crumbs which fall from these great people''s table? |
14701 | Do you mean out in Finsbury Moor, Father Chaucer? |
14701 | Even had they been the same size, did I think the old three- colored cat could be fooled? |
14701 | Had I seen or simply imagined something? |
14701 | How high would it rise? |
14701 | If the leaves go and the nights change, what of that? |
14701 | If they made trouble, whose fault was it? |
14701 | If we could happen upon the mud- turtle mad with love, I am sure we should find that he had a voice-- a"soft, sibilant croak,"who knows? |
14701 | Is he songless, sooty, uninteresting, vulgar? |
14701 | Is there even now a spot into which the bumptious, mannerless, ubiquitous little pleb has not pushed himself? |
14701 | It was during the days, I think, of my"probation,"and into his anxious heart had come the thought, Was I"running well"? |
14701 | Might not two of these be spirited away, far away; the two squirrels substituted, and the old cat be none the wiser? |
14701 | Now, why should the sparrows of the roost prefer King''s Chapel Burial Ground to the Old Granary, a stone''s throw up the street? |
14701 | Or did something get stuffed into the top of the boot after the nuts were dropped in? |
14701 | Or is it the excellent opportunity for social life offered by this convenient apartment- house that attracts? |
14701 | Shall he? |
14701 | Was it mischief that led them to gnaw through rather than go down the top? |
14701 | Was the shining dome of the State House a beacon? |
14701 | What did it matter that they had long tails and were squirrels? |
14701 | What suggestion of grace or swiftness about them upon the ground? |
14701 | What was I that dared remain abroad in the marsh after the rising of the moon? |
14701 | What was that? |
14701 | When the day''s hunt is over and he turns back to his bed, why not race it out with his neighbors? |
14701 | Would he sell his birthright? |
14701 | Would it let me through to the mainland if I waited for the flood? |
14701 | Would she be fishing again this morning? |
14701 | Yes, but what if other woodchucks should seek other roof- trees in the peach row? |
14701 | and how guided? |
14701 | little Hyla, are you still out? |
14701 | that dared invade this eery realm, this night- spread, tide- crept, half- sealand where he was king? |
14701 | that she might not know a kitten of hers from some other mother''s-- squirrel? |
14701 | with a snow- storm brewing and St. Nick due here to- morrow night?" |
47924 | Is she really gone?_[ Illustration:"A sidelong, inquiring posture of the head,... Is she gone?"] |

47924 | Sweet Science, this large riddle read me plain: How may the death of that dull insect be The life of yon trim Shakspere on the tree? |
48196 | But for what purpose? |
48196 | CHAPTER XX REPTILES-- MONARCHS OF THE MESOZOIC WORLD What is a reptile? |
48196 | How did these huge chelonians get to these islands? |
48196 | Is it to illuminate the surrounding water so as to perceive, or to attract prey, or is it to avoid foes? |
48196 | One judges from his observations that they are mainly the expression of fleeting emotions-- but who can read the emotions of a lizard? |
48196 | Whence came it? |
33434 | And what can he find to eat under ground, I should like to know? |
33434 | And where does this mole live? |
33434 | Be quiet children, will you? |
33434 | How could she? 33434 Now what harm can there possibly be in trying to jump on to this keg, I should like to know?" |
33434 | Well, lad,whispered Harvey,"what dost see now?" |
33434 | You impertinent young scamp,said he,"what do I care about your tusks, or whether they grow or not? |
33434 | And do n''t_ you_ lay up any store of provisions for the winter, then? |
33434 | And how did poor Harvey escape? |
33434 | And now, my dear kind mistress, will you not fulfil your promise, and give me my liberty? |
33434 | And so Mrs. Brush is confined, is she? |
33434 | And what do you live upon, when you_ are_ awake, if it is n''t an unfair question? |
33434 | And what else have you heard about me, Mr. Greateyes? |
33434 | But let me see, what were we talking about? |
33434 | But what are you laughing at, Bill Stacey? |
33434 | But what do you think Gotobed told me just now, as I came up the tree? |
33434 | But what has all this about soldiers to do with the poor prisoners in the oak tree? |
33434 | Did that wild cry of despair reach the ears of the hunters? |
33434 | Do you believe this? |
33434 | Do you suppose that Brush and his family spent the whole of the summer in frolicking and feasting? |
33434 | Do you think everybody is as deaf and as stupid as yourself? |
33434 | Do you think this book has been written for your_ amusement_ only? |
33434 | How can a day be passed more pleasantly? |
33434 | How could I write a tale about animals that could neither speak to each other, nor understand what was spoken to them? |
33434 | How many has she got? |
33434 | However, here the rascals are; and what do you think they have been endeavouring to do ever since they came? |
33434 | I believe you are called Mr. Touchmenot, are you not, Sir? |
33434 | Let me see, where was I? |
33434 | Never saw me before, eh? |
33434 | Now what other tales have you heard about my doings? |
33434 | So you have heard that ridiculous story, have you? |
33434 | So_ that''s_ the name they give me, is it? |
33434 | Tell you about the elephants again? |
33434 | That I_ think_ is an enemy? |
33434 | Well, Master Brush, what do you want with me now? |
33434 | Well, and what harm? |
33434 | Well, but as I was saying, what do you want with me this evening? |
33434 | Well, now you have examined me pretty well, who d''ye think I am, eh? |
33434 | What business has_ he_ got to be flying about now, I wonder?'' |
33434 | What d''ye want? |
33434 | What do you jump up into the tree for? |
33434 | What fool told you that? |
33434 | What has all this nonsense to do with the serious conversation you wished to have with me about the children?" |
33434 | Who was this adopted stranger? |
33434 | Will you believe it? |
33434 | a little addition to your family? |
33434 | and"whoever saw fruit growing on a beaten path?" |
33434 | having once seen them how could he possibly mistake their terrible glances? |
33434 | little fellow, is it only you? |
33434 | what d''ye stare at? |
33434 | what d''ye think of that, eh?" |
33434 | what''s the matter now? |
33434 | you are in a terrible rage now, are you? |

42739 | ***** CHAPTER V ORIENTATION AND ROUTE FINDING The question, How do birds find their way? |
42739 | Are the few passing stragglers noted all that go by this route in fair weather? |
42739 | Are we not merely guessing at the real aerial conditions by the movements near the earth at the time of the departure of the birds? |
42739 | Are we yet in a position to say that birds do not make direct use of certain winds? |
42739 | Birds marked at Tyrone have been found so far apart as Cornwall, Harrow and Inverness; what route for the Irish birds can be guessed at? |
42739 | But what does he mean? |
42739 | CHAPTER II CAUSE AND ORIGIN OF MIGRATION The question-- What makes Birds Migrate? |
42739 | Do we really know the force and direction of the winds at a high altitude during these movements? |
42739 | Even this reputed scarcity may be error, for how many reliable watchers are there compared with the immense length of this wave- indented coastline? |
42739 | Favourable to him as an observer or to the goldcrests? |
42739 | How did he observe the obscured sky? |
42739 | How else, is still asked, can weak- winged species cross the sea? |
42739 | Is it possible that some of these collapses of passing birds are due to more than mere physical fatigue? |
42739 | May they not actually have travelled on the"good side"of the cyclonic system, with these very winds carrying them towards Fair Island? |
42739 | What do we find? |
42739 | What is their normal course when no great migration wave or"rush"is observed? |
42739 | What then would happen to a bird leaving Brighton for say the Spanish Peninsula? |
42739 | Will our young July thrush remain in England or will it join one of these streams, and if so which? |

40459 | As the nest was perfectly full, how could the dam come at her litter respectively, so as to administer a teat to each? |
40459 | But to proceed: On one occasion, while investigating the nature of some large, transparent, spore- like elliptical cells( fungal?) |
40459 | But what did the next? |
40459 | But what way out of the difficulty was found by the clever insects? |
40459 | Can it be contended that such insects are not able to determine by reasoning powers which is the best way of doing a thing? |
40459 | Can one believe that no kind of reflection is here necessary?'' |
40459 | Can_ you_ approve of it?'' |
40459 | He adds,''How is it that members of this family have learned that all men, white and black, are fond of honey? |
40459 | How had the goose learned that the force of the rush was needful to give the hook a sufficient toss? |
40459 | Must there not have been something akin to the reasoning faculty in the breast of an animal who could thus for ten days carry on such a struggle? |
40459 | Need I interpret all this for the experienced sportsman? |
40459 | Next she must reason, by''the logic of feelings''--If a hand can do it, why not a paw? |
40459 | Now, in this mode of procedure what is the kind of activities which may be regarded as indicative of mind? |
40459 | The corn, of course, was the attraction, but in what manner did they mark the time? |
40459 | The question, of course, immediately arises, How is it conceivable that the fact, if it is a fact, can be explained? |
40459 | To what cause, then, may we attribute the singularities of the cuckoo? |
40459 | Was Leo suffering from hydrophobia? |
40459 | Was not this a case of reason and good sense_ overpowering_ natural instinct? |
40459 | Was not this something more than instinct? |
40459 | Was she to be a prisoner all day? |
40459 | Was this reason or instinct? |
40459 | What could be the matter with the dog? |
40459 | What did he do? |
40459 | What was Mori to do? |
40459 | Why? |
40459 | Would the animal fly at her throat? |
40459 | [ 135] The same naturalist says of the alligator, These little incidents show the timidity and cowardice(? |
40459 | mystacina_? |
40459 | xix., page 496, says:-- Can we conceive any human being reasoning more correctly than a dog did in the following instance? |
20426 | Can the organisation of vertebrated animals be referred to one uniform type? |
20426 | ? |
20426 | ? |
20426 | Again, how can a need be"felt"by a nervous fluid? |
20426 | All vertebrate skulls are originally alike; in all( save_ Amphioxus_?) |
20426 | And why, again, should the germs of the same kind of creature always go through the same stages? |
20426 | Are certain bones always developed primarily from cartilage, while certain others as constantly originate in membrane? |
20426 | But how does he reconcile this essentially vitalistic conception with his strictly materialistic philosophy? |
20426 | But if it is itself only a result of the movement of nervous fluids? |
20426 | But is the simplest explanation always the truest-- especially when dealing with living things? |
20426 | But what then is the true relation between the variety of development and the variety of adult structure? |
20426 | Does the ground of organic processes lie in the whole organism or in its elementary parts? |
20426 | Does the skull in its development show any signs of a composition out of several vertebræ? |
20426 | How does it happen that two individuals"degenerate"just in the right direction and to the right stage so as to be capable of breeding together? |
20426 | How else could there be a"natural method"of classification? |
20426 | How explain above all the fact that the centres are the same in number and relative position in all these groups? |
20426 | How is it that one does not find intermediate links between species? |
20426 | Is function the mechanical result of form, or is form merely the manifestation of function or activity? |
20426 | Is it conceivable, says Butler, that the embryo can do all these things without knowing how to do them, and without having done them before? |
20426 | Is it the cell rather than the organism that is the immediate agent of assimilatory processes? |
20426 | Or could you deduce from the existence of frontal horns that the animal ruminates? |
20426 | Such forms there may be, but in finding them the real problem is not even resolved a single stage; for from whence was their repetition derived? |
20426 | The bones developed in relation to these cranial elements can be classified as follows:--(1) the basioccipital, exoccipitals( paroccipitals? |
20426 | The relation of the invertebrate to the vertebrate nervous system being thus fixed, can the nervous system of Invertebrates be reduced to one plan? |
20426 | What general principle can be applied? |
20426 | What is the essence of life-- organisation or activity? |
20426 | What then does morphology owe to Aristotle? |
20426 | Which of the two conceptions is to be adopted in biology? |
20426 | Which of them is right? |
20426 | Why did most morphologists join with him in belittling the organism''s power of self- transformation? |
20426 | Why is this feature retained, and by what means has it been conserved through countless generations? |
20426 | Why then did he not go a step further and admit that the animal could by its own subconscious efforts form entirely new organs? |
20426 | [ 167]_ De formato foetu_,? |
20426 | [ 456] Why, we may ask, were morphologists so unwilling to admit the creative power of life? |

2284 | Did he turn? |
2284 | Everything had been fair so far, and who can say that what followed was unfair? |
2284 | He was in despair, when his eye lighted on the Chickens about the stable; but what''s the use? |

2284 | Why paint the despair of a brave little heart in sight of the home he had craved in vain? |
2284 | Why should a timid creature running for his life thus proclaim to all the world his name instead of trying to hide? |
2284 | Why should he do this? |
2284 | Why should he still cling to a place of endless tribulation? |
2284 | Why tell of the race that followed? |
2284 | Why this unkind change? |

44422 | How could the fondest mother love 100,000 little ones at once? |

44422 | Many of the profiles of quadrupeds have only one leg before and one behind: why, then, should they show two horns? |
44422 | May it not be, asks Mr. Sowerby, that they do not require an entomological bag- net? |
44422 | Might he not have given the name_ Pengwyn_ to the bird? |

17567 | A royal pair, eh? |
17567 | A thorn- bush-- what matter the precise name? |
17567 | And alone? |
17567 | And the bees? |
17567 | And then? |
17567 | And who should know it if not he, since it was the voice of his wife? |
17567 | And why had it touched up Prickles as if with a live wire? |
17567 | And why? |
17567 | And, anyway, who can blame her? |
17567 | And, by the way, you know the gnu, of course,_ alias_ wildebeest? |
17567 | Another trap? |
17567 | Anyway, the thrush on the lawn was a lady, and-- well, what would you? |
17567 | At least, she had n''t for an hour and a half; but, then, what''s an hour and a half to a cat? |
17567 | Besides, how about the squirrel overhead? |
17567 | But do you think that made any difference? |
17567 | But how was Blackie to know that, little owls being a comparatively new introduction into those parts? |
17567 | But what is size, anyway? |
17567 | But what the fangs and claws was she doing here? |
17567 | By what? |
17567 | Did she, indeed, ever love anything? |
17567 | Did that ratel quit quick? |
17567 | Did yer ever see th''like?" |
17567 | Do n''t you? |
17567 | Do ratels ever quit an unbeaten foe? |
17567 | Got in among the trees-- yes, but dead- beat, and-- to what end? |
17567 | He knew that it would hurt any one to attack him; the cat knew it; all rabbits in their senses knew it; but was that mother- rabbit in her senses? |
17567 | He would have outdistanced you or me easily in no time, but it was not you or I that came, and who could tell how fast that something might travel? |
17567 | His blood was up, and had not all who ever fought him allowed that he was the pluckiest beast on earth? |
17567 | How could one tell? |
17567 | No honey- guide? |
17567 | Now, what is one to make of such a bird? |
17567 | Now, what is one to say of such a cat? |
17567 | Perhaps he saw, too, the gleam of hunger, the wild, cruel gleam that forgets all else, in her eyes; but who am I to say whether he understood it? |
17567 | Pharaoh, old cat, are-- are you in there?" |
17567 | Probably, quite probably, he had met Gulo the Indomitable before, and-- was not that enough? |
17567 | Safe? |
17567 | She certainly did her duty by it; but what was the use of setting up to be a queen, anyway, if she could not do that? |
17567 | Sixteen feet to the ground he bounded, and twenty- two feet out from the bole of the tree he landed, and-- well, what d''you think of that? |
17567 | Something? |
17567 | That was all, but it was enough; was n''t it, boys? |
17567 | The only difficulty was, who was going out first, and who alive, and who dead? |
17567 | The wolf? |
17567 | Then what? |
17567 | Thousands upon thousands of wood- pigeons were asleep above his head, come from Heaven knows where, going to-- who could tell in the end? |
17567 | VIII THE WHERE IS IT? |
17567 | Was he ever anything else than on the war- path if he moved abroad at all? |
17567 | What else did you expect? |
17567 | What meant this unseemly disturbance of_ Phasianus''s_ domain? |
17567 | What''s in a name, anyway? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What''s that? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What? |
17567 | What_ could_ make any difference after_ that_? |
17567 | Where had the old"varmint"gone? |
17567 | Who can tell how much a cat sees, anyway? |
17567 | Who can tell? |
17567 | Who dares check the will of the king''s son?" |
17567 | Who knows? |
17567 | Why should they? |
17567 | You know the size of pythons? |
17567 | You know the ways of a pig? |
17567 | You think it was a battle of patience? |
17567 | from that of a gentleman of the same breed; or, perhaps-- but how do I know? |
17567 | he said very quietly, quickly, gratingly, and tersely; and then, as if expecting an answer, added,"Eh?" |
10962 | But how will it know,asked Beharilal,"by whose hand its mate died?" |
10962 | But,pleaded Beharilal,"is there no escape?--if a man goes away by the railway or by water?" |
10962 | How can a cobra not have a mate? |
10962 | How many times more true is all this in the case of the moral sense? 10962 The fort is a jungle, and where else should a''bag''take refuge but in a jungle?" |
10962 | Then what will it do? |
10962 | Why should I come? |
10962 | And I said,"Little Bird, what do you know of the coconut?" |
10962 | And how many confectioners and shop girls are there whose idea is no broader? |
10962 | And if he did not see these things which were on the surface, what could he know of matters that lie deeper? |
10962 | And what would he do without them? |
10962 | And whence did the profits come? |
10962 | And who can say that there is not a connection between this difference and other developments? |
10962 | And who shall recount a tithe of its other uses? |
10962 | And why do they not turn to meet the sounds that come from different quarters? |
10962 | And why go back so far? |
10962 | But how about scratching? |
10962 | But if you must go by wriggling, then what is the use of legs to knock against stems and stones? |
10962 | But what bearing has all this on the case of birds? |
10962 | But what four- footed thing can see like a bird? |
10962 | Does a lyre bird submit to its tail-- wear it under protest, so to speak? |
10962 | Has it a mate?" |
10962 | How does the_ Shamrock_ sail? |
10962 | How is it done? |
10962 | I have not seen them, and why should I look for them? |
10962 | If real toddy spirit can not be had, what of that? |
10962 | If you ask him where the Seth has gone, he replies,"Who knows?" |
10962 | In a word, why do the people chew betel nut? |
10962 | In short, what is the true inwardness of a tail? |
10962 | Is it any wonder that the coconut has become an emblem of fertility and prosperity and all good luck? |
10962 | Is that not so?" |
10962 | Nagoo replied with pious simplicity,"How can I tell by what means it knows? |
10962 | Neptune first struck his trident on the ground( or was it on the waves? |
10962 | The action was indescribably comical, but what would it have been if her nostrils had been situated among her ribs? |
10962 | The bird can not rebel, but does it not acquiesce? |
10962 | Then what did she intend? |
10962 | To these two occupations the snake- charmer adds that of a medicine man, for who should know the occult potencies of herbs and trees so well as he? |
10962 | Was the whole race in each of these cases subjugated, or exterminated, and that by uncivilised man with his primitive weapons? |
10962 | We have pounded its head properly, so it will not return to you,""But what of its mate?" |
10962 | What choice has a woman as to the style of her hat? |
10962 | What did these men mean by keeping their own counsel and setting an infernal machine for their enemy? |
10962 | What is a nose? |
10962 | What is the bill of a bird and what does it mean? |
10962 | What is the inwardness of the thing? |
10962 | What is the meaning of these repulsive instruments, and how does that strange beast catch sparrows? |
10962 | What place have they filled in the scheme of things? |
10962 | What should we do without them? |
10962 | What was their purpose and mission? |
10962 | What will happen now?" |
10962 | What would all the boats do that traverse the backwater, or lie at anchor in the bay, or line the sandy beach? |
10962 | What would be the gain of having higher susceptibilities and keener perceptions if they only aggravated the triumph of the insulting flea? |
10962 | Wherewith would he bind the rafters of his hut to the beams, or tether the cow, or let down the bucket into the well? |
10962 | Why does he send for me now?" |
10962 | Why have the seals hung back? |
10962 | Why should every schoolboy be taught that Watt was the inventor of the steam engine? |
10962 | Why should it be recorded that Cadmus invented letters? |
10962 | Why should we inquire who first made gunpowder and glass? |
10962 | Why? |
10962 | [ Illustration: WHO CAN CONSIDER THAT NOSE SERIOUSLY?] |
10962 | he cried,"for what demerit of mine has this ill- luck befallen me in my old age? |
10962 | treasures up and the Anglo- Indian hastens to throw away? |
31269 | Canst thou copy in verse one chime Of the wood bird''s peal and cry? |
31269 | Is that the veery? |
31269 | Oh, did you? |
31269 | And how did the terrible"brigand"treat his neighbors? |
31269 | And still more strange,--how can one leap squarely against the same fence, and run right up to the top? |
31269 | And was the trouble with their material or with their situation? |
31269 | But what excuse can there be for bringing the"Darling of the Spring"to this woeful end? |
31269 | But why are they so shy of exhibiting their talent? |
31269 | Can it be that they are just developing their musical abilities? |
31269 | Could it be because I knew their secret? |
31269 | Could the most bloodthirsty shrike desire a more commodious larder? |
31269 | Could these things be true? |
31269 | Could we not? |
31269 | Did I ever assert that the chat is shy? |
31269 | Did both belong to one pair, or was that little dame peeping into her neighbor''s house? |
31269 | Does he consider his brilliant ruby dangerous to the safety of the nest, and so deny himself the pleasure as well as the pain of family life? |
31269 | Does he selfishly desert outright, and return to bachelor ways, when his mate settles herself to her domestic duties? |
31269 | Has he reason to do so? |
31269 | Have we not seen her prototype in the human world? |
31269 | He rested on the bottom of the cage where he was placed, and looked at me with eyes that said,"What are_ you_ going to do with me?" |
31269 | How can one possibly walk several steps down a perpendicular board without falling headlong to the ground? |
31269 | How could he be satisfied with a slow manner, while thrushes and bluebirds took one at a gulp, and were ready for more? |
31269 | I began to be anxious; could it be too cool for song? |
31269 | I recognize the fact that, from his point of view, chipmunks must live, and why should they not have eggs for breakfast? |
31269 | I wonder what sort of a bugaboo he made me out to be? |
31269 | Now how should one interpret that little family interlude? |
31269 | Now, if the truth is what we are seeking, is it not desirable to see for ourselves, or, as Emerson puts it,"leave others''eyes, and bring your own"? |
31269 | One could heartily say with another bird- lover across the sea,"If he has not a soul, who will answer to me for the human soul?" |
31269 | One spoke in a complaining tone, as if it said,"Why do you treat me thus?" |
31269 | Or does the pugnacious little creature herself decline not only his advice and counsel, but even his presence? |
31269 | She did; she was most obliging,--may I venture to say friendly? |
31269 | Should I have to rescue them? |
31269 | Should I some day find the nest broken up or destroyed? |
31269 | Then the question that interested me was, Were there two nests, or one of two stories with babies of different ages? |
31269 | Was he the singer? |
31269 | Was it feathers or fur or a bit of old rag? |
31269 | What else could so quickly answer the mother''s purpose? |
31269 | Where was the"instinct"of the birds whose hopes thus perished? |
31269 | Where, then, could be those youngsters, less than a week old, who four days before were blind and bare of feathers? |
31269 | Where, then, was the larder of this family? |
31269 | Who can describe the song of a bird? |
31269 | Why do they make such a secret of it? |
31269 | Why is it that solitude in the depths of the forest has so mysterious an effect on the imagination? |
31269 | Would a fall kill the delicate birdlings? |
31269 | Would she tell? |
31269 | Would those short, wide, duck- like beaks ever become the needle- shaped probers of flowers? |
31269 | Would wings ever grow on those grub- like bodies? |
31269 | [ Sidenote:_ WHAT DID IT ALL MEAN?_] Occasionally my presence caused a domestic scene not easy to interpret. |
31269 | and so near a house that one could look into it from a window? |
31269 | or too late? |

11758 | Do n''t you think it would be easier for you outside, where there are not so many physical discomforts to be considered? |
11758 | Do you believe,said a low, faltering voice beside him,"that-- that Baldy could lead? |
11758 | Do you think she''ll ever learn,asked George rather hopelessly,"that a sled dog''s got no use for little stunts like that? |

11758 | What was he doing in the snow, in the bitter cold, soaked in blood, and with his team beside him? |

4203 | But how is this? |
4203 | But what are those two luminous spots? |
4203 | But why bear to the left at all, if the lake was directly opposite? |
4203 | Cruel? |
4203 | Do such books as mine give a wrong impression of Nature, and lead readers to expect more from a walk or a camp in the woods than they usually get? |
4203 | Do the males separate from the females at this time, and go by themselves? |
4203 | Do we not wait for the stranger to speak? |
4203 | Does he travel by easy stages from bush to bush and from wood to wood? |
4203 | For this I am duly grateful; why say more? |
4203 | Had the old pine- trees food delicate enough for him also? |
4203 | Have you heard the song of the field sparrow? |
4203 | I can not answer with much confidence the poet''s inquiry,--"Hast thou named all the birds without a gun?" |
4203 | Indeed, had I not committed some fatal mistake, and left that trusty servant behind, and had not some wizard of the night stepped into his place? |
4203 | Is a deer''s track like a sheep''s or a goat''s? |
4203 | Need the reader be told what they were? |
4203 | Only a few feathers and a half- musical note or two; why all this ado? |
4203 | Or but a wandering voice? |
4203 | This bird is a warbler, plainly enough, from his habits and manner; but what kind of warbler? |
4203 | Was he a prince in the olden time, and do the regal grace and mien still adhere to him in his transformation? |
4203 | Was he the same lithe, merry- hearted beau then as now? |
4203 | Was there ever any other fish so fastidious as this, requiring such sweet harmony and perfection of the elements for its production and sustenance? |
4203 | We occasionally light upon it, but who, unaided by the movements of the bird, could find it out? |
4203 | Were our eyes and ears so dull, then? |
4203 | When do these creatures travel here? |
4203 | Where did the bobolink disport himself before there were meadows in the North and rice fields in the South? |
4203 | Who has heard the snowbird sing? |
4203 | Who has seen the partridge drum? |
4203 | Who saw them come? |
4203 | Who saw them depart? |
4203 | Why build only where boys can climb? |
4203 | Why need wings be afraid of falling? |
4203 | or has that compact little body force and courage to brave the night and the upper air, and so achieve leagues at one pull? |
4203 | shall I call thee bird? |
4203 | what mystery is here? |
61981 | Is that a British butterfly? |
61981 | Are they like birds''eggs? |
61981 | Could it not evolve a method of securing its eggs so that the young caterpillars might have a fair chance of survival when ushered into the world? |
61981 | He could fly over it? |
61981 | I wonder what his name might have been had he been common north of the Tweed, and not known in the South? |
61981 | It''s clever, though, is n''t it? |
61981 | The Small Tortoiseshell is a hibernating species, but why does it not deposit its eggs in the autumn, and go the way of all flesh and butterflies? |
61981 | What would be the fate of these eggs if laid in the autumn? |
61981 | Who can tell? |
21266 | A family of birds may also be described, as if they were persons,--and are they not? |
21266 | But if our supposition were realized, if every fin and gill were to disappear from the waters of the globe, what would be the result? |
21266 | Can you tell why? |

21266 | Is any country too cold, or any too warm, for birds? |
21266 | Is it cheery, like the robin''s, or tuneful, like the thrush''s, or rollicking and rapturous, like the bobolink''s, or a Romanza, like the catbird''s? |
21266 | Is it inclined to fight? |
21266 | Is it not worth while to do something to protect the birds and prevent their destruction before it is too late? |
21266 | Is it quarrelsome? |
21266 | Is it selfish? |
21266 | Is its flight even and steady, or bounding? |
21266 | Is its tail square, or notched? |
21266 | Is the blue jay wicked? |
21266 | Is the woodpecker''s drumming, and apparent listening with the side of his head turned to the tree, all for fun, and nothing for reward? |
21266 | Is woman cruel or only thoughtless? |
21266 | Loved the wood- rose and left it on its stalk? |

21266 | What does the other bird do? |
21266 | What happens afterwards? |

47649 | Am I never to be rid of that stupid thing? |
47649 | How did it happen? |
47649 | I brought the first sticks, my dear,he answered mildly,"and did n''t I do all the house hunting? |
47649 | Of course, of course,assented her mate,"whoever heard of a Wren raising a second brood in the same nest? |
47649 | What is so rare as a day in June? 47649 You naughty boy,"exclaimed Mrs. Wren, turning to the crest- fallen Pierre,"did I not tell you to take care of your brothers and little sister? |
47649 | ---- Another Woodpecker? |
47649 | And is May much better? |
47649 | And why should they not be? |
47649 | But, still, what are perfect days? |
47649 | Can I drum? |
47649 | Can you repeat it?" |
47649 | Do you ask what his name is? |
47649 | Have you observed the Robin in the early spring? |
47649 | His wife is a beauty, he''s fond of her, too; He calls her his"Judy;"I like it, do n''t you? |

47649 | Is the love of a bonnet supreme over all, In a lady so faultlessly fair? |
47649 | Mr. E. P. Jaques, asks, in_ Field and Stream_,"What has become of our Waterfowl?" |

7404 | ''Is the master at home?'' 7404 _ Not see Sir Walter Scott_?" |
7404 | ''Pray, sir,''said the man of golden consequence,''is this a letter of business, or is it a mere letter of introduction?'' |

7404 | And why should the would- be murderers use a knife when they had guns? |
7404 | Did remote prairie cabins in those days have grindstones and carving knives? |
7404 | Had not his wondrous pen penetrated my soul with the consciousness that here was a genius from God''s hand? |
7404 | He retorted,''What the devil did I know about birds?'' |
7404 | With her was I not always rich?" |
25973 | How could you be led astray by so familiar a song? |
25973 | A recent writer, in describing"A Buzzards''Banquet,"asks a couple of pregnant questions:"Is there anything ugly out of doors? |
25973 | And what did they say? |
25973 | And who or what are Brewer''s blackbirds? |
25973 | And would the feathered visitor feel a constriction in his chest and be compelled to gasp for breath, as the human tourists invariably do? |
25973 | And would you believe it? |
25973 | Are such ways usual among birds, or did we chance to see and hear an unusual thing?" |
25973 | But poor Turpentine, what of him? |
25973 | But what could this minstrel be? |
25973 | But what was the bird which was singing so blithely a short distance up the slope? |
25973 | But what was the cause of this particular bird''s intense solicitude? |
25973 | But what was the meaning of a sharp, insect- like buzzing that fell at intervals on my ear? |
25973 | But where was that important personage, the little husband? |
25973 | But where were their nests? |
25973 | But would you believe it? |
25973 | Can the ardent, sympathetic lover of nature ever find her unlovely?" |
25973 | Could I ever drag myself up to the next bend in the track? |
25973 | Could a better hook be contrived for enabling the bird to clamber up the trunks and branches of trees? |
25973 | Did that bandit intend to rob her of both her husband and her children? |
25973 | Did the pipits accompany you to the summit of the peak? |
25973 | Do those on the western side of the mountains travel over the towering summits from the eastern plains? |
25973 | Does the avi- fauna of the Rocky Mountain district differ widely from that of the Eastern States? |
25973 | Does the bird- lover ask what species dwell on a treeless mesa like this? |
25973 | Does the lining of the juvenile green- tail''s mouth change from red to yellow as he advances in age? |
25973 | Had I mistaken some other bird for the mountain song- sparrow? |
25973 | Has mention been made of a few house- finches that were seen in Georgetown? |
25973 | Have other bird students observed it? |
25973 | Have you ever ridden a burro? |
25973 | How do they reach this immured Eden at the time of the spring migration? |
25973 | Must a peak be over fourteen thousand feet above sea- level to meet their physiological wants in the summery season? |
25973 | One of the signal- station men asked a friend who had just come up from the plain,"Is there anything green down below? |
25973 | Or do they come up from their southern winter homes by way of the valleys and plains west of the range? |
25973 | Or was the Buena Vista bird the common song- sparrow which had gone entirely beyond its Colorado range? |
25973 | Somewhere I had heard such minstrelsy-- but where? |
25973 | Suppose an eastern blue jay should be carried to the top of Pike''s Peak, or Gray''s, and then set free, how would he fare? |
25973 | That little feathered Sphinx-- what could he have been? |
25973 | Then what does he do? |
25973 | Was it a bird, or only one of those playful little chipmunks that abound in the Rockies? |
25973 | Was it fancy or was it really true? |
25973 | What birds select such steep places for a habitat? |
25973 | What could the gay little minstrel be? |
25973 | What could this wonderful haunter of the sky be? |
25973 | What do the birds find to eat in these treeless and shrubless altitudes? |
25973 | What is the tune they whistle? |
25973 | What regimen did they adopt in that exigency? |
25973 | What was the bird? |
25973 | What was there to keep him in a birdless place like this? |
25973 | What was this haunting song that rose from a thick copse fringing one of the babbling mountain brooks? |
25973 | What was this little square- shouldered bird that kept uttering a shrill scream, which he seemed to mistake for a song? |
25973 | What was this wonderful bird? |
25973 | What were these tenants of the dry and piney mountain side? |
25973 | Where did the robins build their nests? |
25973 | Who can deny the evidence of design in nature? |
25973 | Who can tell? |
25973 | Who was the little waif that had chosen this sky- invading summit for its summer habitat? |
25973 | Whose song was this ringing from one of the larger trees a little farther down the glade? |
25973 | Why did not this birdlet remain within the bounds set by the scientific guild? |
25973 | Why do not the magpie and the long- crested jay come east? |
25973 | Why does the hardy and almost ubiquitous blue jay studiously avoid the western plains and mountains? |
25973 | Why is the yellow- shafted flicker of the East replaced in the West by the red- shafted flicker? |
25973 | Why should a bird student tarry here? |
25973 | Why the Rocky Mountain region changes the lining of the flicker''s wings from gold to crimson-- who can tell? |
25973 | Would he give two way- worn travellers a place to sleep beneath his roof? |
25973 | Would the muscles and tendons of his wings have sufficient strength to bear him up in the rarefied atmosphere? |
25973 | or was that only imagination too? |
25973 | what were these active little birds, hopping about on the street and sipping from the pool by the village well? |
49206 | And I,said Lucy,"have much wished to ask whether the_ snake- stone_ ever was a shell? |
49206 | And are you quite sure that they are without a shell? 49206 Are you not students in those useful languages? |
49206 | Have not slugs the characteristics of the_ Mollusca_ class? |
49206 | How can that genus be mixed with the_ Conchifera_? |
49206 | Is not this genus reduced by other authors?'' 49206 Look carefully at those three shells: do you perceive much resemblance between them? |
49206 | Now, Charles,said Mr. Elliot,"do you clearly comprehend the verse that you have just repeated?" |
49206 | Oh, who gave you those nice shells? |
49206 | So the_ Pinna_ is a bivalve; but what has_ Venus_ to do with the matter? |
49206 | Tell me what genera remain to be noticed among the univalves of Linnæus? |
49206 | What can you want so many little shells for? |
49206 | Why do you both look so serious? |
49206 | *****"The family_ Macrostoma_ contains,_ Sigaretus__ Helix_? |
49206 | Charles is silent; what says Lucy?" |
49206 | I hope your purchase did not cost much, for they are not rare shells?" |
49206 | I know the difference between a cowry and a cone; but I am not yet acquainted with a multivalve shell-- will you show me one?" |
49206 | Lucy, do you know a univalve shell?" |
49206 | asked Lucy,"and how do you know the names?" |
37787 | And that''s what you died of? 37787 And when they were out of the drey did you teach them to run about in the tree, and jump from one branch to another, and pass from tree to tree?" |
37787 | Are you speaking seriously? 37787 Do you see a man sitting by the fire looking at us? |
37787 | There''s no one else-- what am I to do? 37787 What asketh man to have?" |
37787 | What do you mean, woodpecker? 37787 When was that, squirrel?" |
37787 | Where was that, squirrel? |
37787 | Who are you and what are you doing there? |
37787 | Why did they put us here? |
37787 | Why do you hate me, squirrel? |
37787 | Yes, are they not beautiful? |
37787 | ''And how are you? |
37787 | Answer me, why did they put us here? |
37787 | Are the hundred years over so soon?" |
37787 | But my critic dropped by chance into something better, when he went on to ask,"Why should n''t the heaven''s blue make us love flowers? |
37787 | But who that has any knowledge of what goes on in the collecting world does not know that the guarded birds would be the first to vanish? |
37787 | Could such a thing happen?" |
37787 | Did it hurt you, squirrel?" |
37787 | Did it hurt you?" |
37787 | Do n''t you see it coming, squirrel? |
37787 | Ha, ha, ha-- who''s the yaffler now? |
37787 | Have you got it up? |
37787 | He then asks:"What does blue suggest to a sailor? |
37787 | How does it taste?" |
37787 | How was I to disclose all this to him? |
37787 | Is n''t this a fine day? |
37787 | Say, was thy little mate unkind, And heard thee as the passing wind? |
37787 | That''s new, is n''t it? |
37787 | The question arises: Does he continue all his life long repeating this egregious blunder? |
37787 | The question is sometimes asked, What is the charm which you find, or say you find, in nature? |
37787 | Then he added:"A dozen, did I say? |
37787 | Well, when I was bidding good- bye to my friends at home I said,"Do n''t you envy me? |
37787 | What did he mean? |
37787 | What shall this dream be? |
37787 | What shall we do, what shall we do? |
37787 | What, I asked myself, could be the reason of their sudden alarm, when my previous visits to the wood had not excited them in the least? |
37787 | What, then, is the charm of the wood wren''s song? |
37787 | When will you come home, wild geese, in your thousand strong?... |
37787 | Where did you find red agarics? |
37787 | Who that ever listened to Carlotta Patti does not remember sounds like these from her lips? |
37787 | Why do n''t you answer me? |
37787 | Why do you hate me?" |
37787 | Why, then, I asked, if they were so destructive, did not his master go out and shoot them at once? |
37787 | Will this committee recommend the one and only way to put a stop to the continuous destruction of our rarer birds? |
37787 | squirrel, what are you doing there? |
40869 | How big is this ere brown bear, Squire? |
40869 | How do you know it is a grizzly? |
40869 | How much reward can I offer? |
40869 | Is that so? |
40869 | Where is it, Ed? |
40869 | Why do n''t you come on, I say, and help me catch him? |
40869 | Why do n''t you eat him? |
40869 | Would you undertake to get a genuine grizzly in this State? |
40869 | *****"Are there any true grizzly bears in California?" |
40869 | And do I know him? |
40869 | And what became of Sil Reese? |
40869 | And what became of the big black twin babies? |
40869 | And what became of the boy? |
40869 | And where is he now? |
40869 | But how does a bear die? |
40869 | Can you not see how it is? |
40869 | Could he? |
40869 | Do you know why a beast, a bear of all beasts, is so very much afraid of fire? |
40869 | Dog? |
40869 | He sat down on the grass, and, wearily wiping his forehead, he said to Monnehan,"Mr. Monnehan, how big was the bear that you saw?" |
40869 | How will you have him-- dead or alive?" |
40869 | Is he the representative of another genus? |
40869 | Lie down and be eaten up while you lie there and kick up your heels and enjoy yourself? |
40869 | Now, do you think you could find them?" |
40869 | Or is he the Sloth Bear,_ Prochilous_( or_ Melursus_)_ labiatus_? |
40869 | Pretty women are to be preferred; but pretty men? |
40869 | The boy? |
40869 | Were they running away from a thunder- storm? |
40869 | What did it all mean? |
40869 | What had become of this strange little army of silent brown boys? |
40869 | What made these ugly rows of scars on my left hand? |
40869 | What next? |
40869 | When he had completed his investigation and stood once more before Monarch''s cage, he was asked:"Well, what is he?" |
40869 | Where are they?" |
40869 | Where had they gone and what did all this silent mystery mean? |
40869 | Why ca n''t they live up in the chaparral, as they did before we came here to plant trees and try to make the world beautiful? |
40869 | Why do n''t you come, I say, and help me catch him?" |
40869 | Why do n''t you come? |
40869 | Why not have the little black fellows fight a duel also? |
40869 | Why not set the dog on him? |
40869 | Why, if they''re so blasted dangerous, how did your missionaries ever manage to drive them up here from Mexico, anyhow?" |
40869 | Will he? |
40869 | Would he come any farther? |
40869 | Would he? |
40869 | Would n''t that be a fix?" |
40869 | You like?" |
40869 | You want to know what the boy is doing? |
45873 | Do you see the Cranes of Ibycus? |
45873 | Accustomed to hear little more than the words,''I am ill,''when asked,''How are you, Parrot-- how are you?'' |
45873 | Are not these little republics models of peace and concord? |
45873 | But what is this object which catches his sight? |
45873 | Can we impose a like distribution on birds? |
45873 | Does this disturb him? |
45873 | For example, where is the link which unites the Crow to the Swallow or to the Humming- birds? |
45873 | How can the Quail, for instance, with its short wing and plump body, traverse the Mediterranean twice in the year? |
45873 | Is it, then, to be wondered at that these birds have been eagerly sought since their introduction into Europe? |
45873 | It continually repeated the cries which the poor child uttered when he saw his mother rush at him with the rod in her hand--''What for? |
45873 | It jumps on the table;--can it be the same? |
45873 | No doubt it is edible; but where is the consumer of such to be found? |
45873 | We have heard the same of a small Boa- like Serpent(_ Chilabothrus?_) in the West Indies, which is said to prey upon the formidable_ Crotalidæ_. |
45873 | What say the great philosophers to it, who refuse this faculty to animals? |
45873 | What, indeed, can surpass the brilliancy of the King- fisher as it suddenly darts along some murmuring brook, tracing a thread of azure and emerald? |
45873 | What, it will be asked, is there so characteristic about it? |
45873 | When will man make up his mind to understand his true interests? |
45873 | Who besieges him with its clamours? |
45873 | Who discovers the Owl during the day? |
45873 | Who pursues him with unintermitting blows of his bill? |
45873 | Who rouses the whole tribe of small birds against the nocturnal tyrant? |

41357 | Would the fusion of epiblast and mesoblast also receive its explanation on this hypothesis? 41357 ( 2) Is any part of it present in the ovum at the commencement of segmentation? 41357 ( 2) Part of the intermuscular connective tissue(?). 41357 ( 2) What meaning has it in the development of the ovum or the embryo? 41357 ( 2) where is it situated in relation to the embryo? 41357 7,_ r.st_? 41357 8,_ r.st_?). 41357 : How do these nuclei originate? 41357 And who can say whither he might not have reached had he lived, and his bright young life ripened as years went on? 41357 Are the hæmal arches, the ventral parts of which are thus formed by the coalescence of the ribs, homologous with the hæmal arches in Elasmobranchii? 41357 Are the roots in question to be regarded as proper roots of the vagus, or as ventral roots of spinal nerves whose dorsal roots have been lost? 41357 Are they formed by the division of the pre- existing nuclei, or by an independent formation? 41357 Close to the hindermost vas efferens is seen a body which resembles a rudimentary segmental tube(_ rst?_). 41357 Connected with the foremost one is seen a body which looks like the remnant of a segmental tube and its opening(_ rst?_). 41357 Does this larva retain the characters of an ancestral type of the Spongida, and if so what does its form mean? 41357 Does this layer come from an ingrowth from the thickened edge of the blastoderm, or does it arise from the formation of new cells in the yolk? 41357 Each of them is formed of( 1) a large, often angular, nucleus, filled with deeply staining bodies( nucleoli? 41357 How comes it then to be formed of lower layer cells in Elasmobranchii? 41357 How has it come about that there are nerves passing from the central nervous system to all parts of the skin, and also to the muscles? 41357 In Teleostei and Ganoidei(?) 41357 Is it credible that the mouth and anus have become changed, the one for the other? 41357 Is it the remains of the first formed vitelline membrane? 41357 It had ringed antennæ, seventeen(?) 41357 On each side of it are a pair of short papillæ( aborted feet?). |

41357 | The posterior opening formed from the blastopore is elongated, being dilated in front and continued back as a narrow slit(?) |
41357 | The question which first presents itself is, how far does this distinction hold good for other Fishes? |
41357 | The question which we propose to ourselves is the following:--What are the homologies of the parts of the Avian urinogenital system above enumerated? |
41357 | There is_ one_ outgrowth from the alimentary tract in Synapta;_ two_ in Echinoids, Asteroids and Ophiura;_ three_ in Comatula, and four(?) |
41357 | They have around them a dark contour line, which I can only interpret as the commencement of the membrane( zona radiata? |
41357 | This opacity is due in each case to a proliferation of cells of the hypoblast, and, perhaps, of the epiblast(?). |
41357 | Two questions about it obviously present themselves for solution:( 1) What are the conditions of its occurrence with reference to impregnation? |
41357 | What then becomes of the originally continuous outgrowth? |
41357 | What were the steps by which this remarkable process took place? |
41357 | What, then, is the explanation of the widespread derivation of the mesoblast, including the muscular system of the body, from the hypoblast? |
41357 | Whence does this layer arise? |
41357 | or is the protoplasm present_ throughout_, being simply_ more concentrated_ at the germinal pole than elsewhere? |

45596 | Why? |
45596 | Are all these three used to conduct the juice of flowers into the butterfly''s body? |
45596 | Are ants simply friends of the plant- lice, as thought the ancients? |
45596 | But how can it come out of the silky prison which it has itself built? |
45596 | But how can they drag out the dead body, which is often very heavy? |
45596 | But how do the ants manage to get the plant- lice to allow themselves to be, as we may say, milked? |
45596 | But how, one will ask, was it possible in a large public room to see this wonderful sight? |
45596 | But what could they want of the plant- lice? |
45596 | But with all this, where is the organ of song? |
45596 | How could we provide our horses and oxen with provender, if they required each day their own weight of hay and grass? |
45596 | How do these insects manage to make themselves understood in such various ways, asking for help, giving advice, giving invitations? |
45596 | How does it manage to bore through the often very solid walls of this second prison, so as to regain its liberty? |
45596 | How is it that small bumps arise on the part that is stung? |
45596 | How is it then that so small a wound does not heal at once? |
45596 | Is a man not as much a domestic animal as a dog? |
45596 | Is not the Empress Si- ling- chi a mythical person? |
45596 | Is there not here, in the first place, a true and excellent reasoning, then an act, an operation, a work, executed as the result of this reasoning? |
45596 | Man is proud of his works; but what are they, after all, in comparison with those of the ant, taking the relative heights into consideration? |
45596 | Of what use then can stemmata be to insects also provided with compound eyes? |
45596 | Of what use to it is this dirty and grotesque fancy dress? |
45596 | What becomes of its disguise, and how does it manage to walk? |
45596 | What do they do? |
45596 | What is the use of the antennæ, resembling as they do, feathers, saws, clubs,& c.? |
45596 | What parts produce the sound? |
45596 | Who does not admire the extraordinary splendour, the vivacity, the prodigious variety of colours of these brilliant inhabitants of the air? |
45596 | Who would suppose that one of the causes which render the centre of Africa difficult to be explored is a fly not larger than the house- fly? |

39979 | Are you hurt, sir? |
39979 | But how are we to get them out? |
39979 | How much? |
39979 | How, sir? |
39979 | My wife and I teach them all that is_ useful_ for them to know, and is not that enough? 39979 No?" |

26346 | Does the house wren always close its song with the rising inflection, as if it were asking a question? |
26346 | A few days later I made my way to the hilltop, and do you know that the shrewd bird played me the same trick? |
26346 | A query arises here: Did I see four different winter wrens during the winter, or only one in four different localities? |
26346 | A question that disturbs all bird lovers more or less is this: Does the fine white vest of the jay cover a bad heart? |
26346 | ARE BIRDS SINGERS OR WHISTLERS? |
26346 | An important question, therefore, from more than one point of view is: Should we ever kill the blue jay? |
26346 | And how do our feathered citizens solve this important problem in the cold weather? |
26346 | And what do you suppose was the tune he executed? |
26346 | And what was happening over in the field? |

26346 | Are all of them parasites? |
26346 | Are n''t you out of your proper latitude?" |
26346 | Are they manufactured far down in the trachea, or only at its anterior opening? |
26346 | Are they voice tones or flute tones? |
26346 | Beautiful, is it not? |
26346 | Besides, while still in the nest, they must have heard many other bird calls; why did they not acquire them? |
26346 | But do you know that my most strenuous efforts-- and they_ were_ strenuous on a hot day like that-- resulted only in disappointment? |
26346 | But have you never thought how many of the fine shot must wound some of the birds that fly away? |
26346 | But how are these birds to be treated? |
26346 | But how does he hold himself on his shaggy wall as he hitches head downward? |
26346 | But the sweet, silvery roulade-- could there be anything more charming in the world of outdoor music? |

26346 | But what is properly included in a bird''s foot? |
26346 | But what is to be said of the screaming cowbird? |
26346 | But what kind of nests do the rock nuthatches construct on their limestone walls? |
26346 | But where is that modest little personage, his wife? |
26346 | But who can blame him? |
26346 | But, now, suppose the wing is closed, will not this cord make a cumbersome fold, flapping loosely in the angle of the elbow? |
26346 | Did any one ever hear or read of such a performance in all the annals of birdland? |
26346 | Do n''t you know that the man prowling about yonder will shoot little birds who betray their presence by singing?" |
26346 | Do n''t you see how? |
26346 | Does he wish to chisel a grub out of the bark of a tree? |
26346 | Does it not look as if the forehanded nuthatch was laying by a supply of ants for a coming time of hunger? |
26346 | Had the storm driven them to other climes where bland winds prevailed? |
26346 | Have you ever been ill- mannered enough to watch the birds going to bed? |
26346 | Have you ever heard the jay''s brief musical roulade? |
26346 | How do the birds, in perching and roosting, retain their hold so long on a limb without becoming weary? |
26346 | How do you suppose he went about it? |
26346 | How does a bird produce the melodious notes that emanate from his throat? |
26346 | How does he do this? |
26346 | How may one study the birds intelligently? |
26346 | How would you feel, my friend, if, as you were going along the street, a lot of hoodlums should take to gibing and hooting at you? |
26346 | In such a case how could the parent birds distinguish between friend and foe? |
26346 | Is he really a thief, a nest robber, or even worse, a cannibal, in plumes? |
26346 | Is it not a wonderfully wise contrivance? |
26346 | Is n''t he a dandy? |
26346 | Is n''t that a stylish topknot, though? |
26346 | Is not that cruel? |
26346 | Is there such a thing as social ostracism in the bird world? |
26346 | It may be asked, Why? |
26346 | It was so large that he was choking; what should be done? |
26346 | Might his motto be,"Little birds should be heard and not seen"? |
26346 | Might the cause be physiological? |
26346 | Might these hilltop eremites have committed some crime or some breach of decorum that effected their banishment from respectable avicular society? |
26346 | Or were they simply of a sullen or retiring disposition, choosing seclusion rather than the company of their kind? |
26346 | Quite stuck- up, ai n''t he? |
26346 | Suppose we were compelled to be incessantly on the lookout for danger, should we ever have a moment of peace or joy? |
26346 | They seemed to be saying jeeringly:"Is n''t that a funny way for a bird to build a house? |
26346 | To begin at the beginning, let me ask: Who would expect to study the plants and flowers without a botany? |
26346 | Were there ever birds with more dulcet tones, with finer voice register, or with a greater variety of tunes in their repertoire? |
26346 | Were there ever such pesky, ill- mannered citizens as the English sparrows? |
26346 | Were they so badly frightened because I was returning to their nest? |
26346 | What are some of the proofs of his vandalism? |
26346 | What billsome morsels did they find on the snow? |
26346 | What did I discover? |
26346 | What do I mean by that? |
26346 | What had become of my feathered neighbors, my companions in every ramble throughout the winter? |
26346 | What if the whim should seize him to pipe a trill or a quaver to the water witches of the meadow, as Master Song Sparrow so often chooses to do? |
26346 | What in the world did it mean-- a man lying flat on the ground out there in the woods? |
26346 | What is the reason of this difference between the eastern and western birds? |
26346 | What more can the bird student desire for purposes of identification? |
26346 | What part of the grape did he eat? |
26346 | What tools are needed for acquiring bird lore? |
26346 | What were they doing? |
26346 | What were those two large black objects over yonder in the woods? |

27277 | Bobolinks? |
27277 | Oh, what have I to do with time? 27277 What bird is that?" |
27277 | What is it? |
27277 | Where did you find that stuff? |
27277 | ( What should one say to a squirrel?) |
27277 | A chapter, did I say? |
27277 | And where was that much needed personage? |
27277 | Are bobolinks always this jolly, delightful crowd? |
27277 | Are they never quarrelsome? |
27277 | But if one is not a poet, must he then suffer and enjoy in silence? |
27277 | But may there not be two sides to the story? |
27277 | But the bluejays? |
27277 | But where was the mother? |
27277 | But who was she? |
27277 | Can the goldfinch wooing be a sort of Comanche affair? |
27277 | Could it be a cuckoo baby we had heard? |
27277 | Could it be that the sons and daughters of this warbler family outrage all precedent by wearing their grown- up dress in the cradle? |
27277 | Could this bird, to his mate so thoughtful and polite, be to the rest of the world the bully he is pictured? |
27277 | Did he prefer to be on good terms with his peppery neighbor? |
27277 | Did he think her capable of managing her own affairs? |
27277 | Did he wish to experiment with some theory of his own on another''s baby? |
27277 | Did his heart fail him, or, perchance, his footing give way? |
27277 | Did, then, the daughters of the house meekly fly, without preliminary study of the world from the door? |
27277 | Do you know what it is to be under robin surveillance? |
27277 | Does he drop his part of poet, of reveler of the meadows, I wonder, and come down to the sober prose of stuffing baby mouths? |
27277 | Does not our own native poet say:--"Who speeds to the woodland walks? |
27277 | Had I unwittingly picked some of his special treasures, some rare exotic which he had cultivated with care? |
27277 | Had he driven her from his nest? |
27277 | Had he, perchance, been bereaved of his own younglings, and felt moved to bestow his parental care upon somebody? |
27277 | Had the poor birds carried off the babies? |
27277 | Had there been an accident and were these the survivors? |
27277 | Had, then, an owl paid a twilight visit, and could a redstart be surprised? |
27277 | How could I miss so good a chance to see that tawny youngster, when I knew I should not lay finger on it? |
27277 | How shall one put into words the delights of the woods in June without"dropping into poetry?" |
27277 | How should she know that it is wrong to eat chickens; or that robin babies were made to live and grow up, and crow babies to die of starvation? |
27277 | How were this pair distinguished from each other, since there is no difference in their dress? |
27277 | If he were a chestnut- sided infant, how did he come in a redstart nest, and what had the redstart to do with him? |
27277 | If he were a redstart, why did Mamma refuse help in her hard work, and why did the chestnut- sided insist on helping? |
27277 | Indeed, had more than one infant reached maturity? |
27277 | Is the little bride won by force? |
27277 | It had all the airs of ownership, and its colors were olive and yellow; had, then, the roguish redstart deceived me, after all? |
27277 | It was a redstart nest without doubt, but who owned the baby? |
27277 | Must we then conclude that the dignity of a bird depends upon the length of his tail? |
27277 | No doubt she could sing, and perhaps she does,--who knows? |
27277 | Of my shoes I will not speak; shall we not have souls above shoe- leather? |
27277 | Or could it be_ sotto voce_ remarks of the bird himself? |
27277 | Or could, perchance, a squirrel have stolen upon him unaware? |
27277 | Or had, perchance, another nest tragedy occurred? |
27277 | Or is she, perchance, like some of her sisters of larger growth, who require a"scene"of some sort to make them"name the day"? |
27277 | Peace from a kingbird? |
27277 | The water lapped softly against the shore; but who can"Write in a hook the morning''s prime, Or match with words that tender sky"? |
27277 | To birds and trees who talks? |
27277 | To whom, then, did the nest belong? |
27277 | Was anything worth while, indeed, except to dream and muse, lulled by the music of the"laughing water"? |
27277 | Was ever a pair so quiet? |
27277 | Was he a charity- mad personage, such as we sometimes see among bigger folk, determined to benefit his kind, whether they would or no? |
27277 | Was it a new bird with this unbird- like cry? |
27277 | Was it derision, complaint, or a mere neighborly call? |
27277 | Was it his aim to coax that young redstart to desert his family and follow after the traditions of the chestnut- sided? |
27277 | Was it his mate answering, or criticising his music? |
27277 | Was it the first note of his newly- fledged offspring? |
27277 | Was it worth while to go on? |
27277 | Was some tramp mother hidden behind the bushes? |
27277 | Was the troublesome brawler a spoiled"only child"? |
27277 | We can not have you in our fields;--but, after all, is n''t the morning delicious?" |
27277 | Were there, perchance, no daughters? |
27277 | Were they busy in the grass with bobolink babies? |
27277 | Were we the cause of the calamity? |
27277 | What ails the warbler? |
27277 | What business had I, an interloper in his dominion, to interfere with his rights, or to say whether he should dine off birds or berries? |
27277 | What can you make out of that?" |
27277 | What could be his motive? |
27277 | What could it be? |
27277 | What did it matter that I should find my bluejay? |
27277 | What sort of a father is the gay singer? |
27277 | When he puts aside the leafy portière and enters the cool green paradise of the trees, must he be dumb? |
27277 | Where shall we keep the holiday? |
27277 | Who can guess what mysteries shall be disclosed, what interesting episodes of life shall be seen about that charmed spot? |
27277 | Who could tell what the next turn might reveal? |
27277 | Who knows but he was experimenting to see if this simple, wide- open cradle would n''t do as well for oriole babies as for kingbirds? |
27277 | Who''s that?" |
27277 | Why can I not delight in a bird or flower, knowing it by what it is to me, without longing to know what it has been to some other person? |
27277 | Why have we such a rage for labeling and cataloguing the beautiful things of Nature? |
27277 | Why should he spend his time hunting insects? |
27277 | and did they enjoy the music as keenly as I did? |
27277 | and was she complaining? |
27277 | and where had they nested? |
27277 | as who should say,"Can such things be?" |
27277 | or was it because with her it would be a war of words, while if he entered the arena it must be a fight? |
27277 | said I, exultingly,"are your little folk in there? |
55583 | ''Whatever has happened to you?'' |
55583 | Above all, at what distance could he kill? |
55583 | And did men travel fast? |
55583 | And now her leg was utterly useless, here was Kahwa a helpless cub: what was she to do? |
55583 | And what of all the insects and smaller things that must be perishing by millions every minute? |
55583 | And what of all the living things that had died? |
55583 | And what should we find to eat in all this smoking wilderness? |
55583 | Besides, what else were we to do? |
55583 | But how about me? |
55583 | But how could you expect me to be friendly to man after all that I have suffered at his hands? |
55583 | But if she could not fight four men, could not we? |
55583 | But what could we do? |
55583 | But what was a bear doing abroad at high noon of such a day, and crashing through the bushes in that headlong fashion? |
55583 | But what was the use of climbing a tree, when we had just seen the osprey killed on the top of one much higher than any that we could climb? |
55583 | But what was the use, when it never got cold and my meals came every day? |
55583 | CHAPTER VIII ALONE IN THE WORLD Have you any idea how frightfully stiff one is after nearly five months''consecutive sleep? |
55583 | Could she not climb out? |
55583 | Had the animals and birds that had passed us earlier in the day escaped? |
55583 | How came man to be able to kill at such distances with it? |
55583 | How far away, we asked, were the men? |
55583 | If so, had they again, while we slept, dragged her off somewhere else? |
55583 | Is it hours or days or weeks since you were last awake? |
55583 | Kill him? |
55583 | Was it an animal, or a fungus, or only a mound of earth? |
55583 | We could easily have caught him had we wished to, but why should we? |
55583 | Were those the ropes with which they had dragged Kahwa the night before? |
55583 | What company were they to me? |
55583 | What could any dog expect who dared to face such a bear as Wooffa fighting for her children? |
55583 | What could it be? |
55583 | What more could I have done had I had my freedom longer? |
55583 | What was it? |
55583 | What was to be done now? |
55583 | Where should we go? |
55583 | Why could not men live in peace with us as we were willing to live in peace with them? |
55583 | Why does man do it? |
55583 | Would it not be glorious, I asked? |
59576 | But when? |
59576 | Do they eat the edge of the sunset also? |
59576 | How do you know that I am not a wolf? |
59576 | If I am not a wolf, what am I? |
59576 | Is the hunting better there than it is here? |
59576 | Is there more game? |
59576 | Today, or tomorrow, or when the moon is full? |
59576 | What is the smell in me that is n''t wolf? |
59576 | Where? |
59576 | Who are the folk? |
59576 | ******* Did he go back to his people later? |
59576 | Besides, were not his wolf- brothers all far out in the world? |
59576 | But in the dark the odd feeling was still questioning:"If I am not a wolf, what am I?" |
59576 | But what shapes were those coming down from the foothills-- those long, flowing shapes with tongues that lolled and eyes that shone? |
59576 | But what was that driving furiously up the long steeps of the dawn? |
59576 | Did he say good- bye to the wolf- folk for ever, and forget the ways of the Wild? |
59576 | How should she, since the Great Spirit of the Wild had not told her? |
59576 | If the wolf- brother went away and did not know that he was there, how would he carry a message to the rest of the pack? |
59576 | Suppose some leader gave the signal for the entire pack to sweep down upon him and tear him limb from limb? |
59576 | Suppose, after all, the Indians were able to hold their own? |
59576 | Then, if he was not a wolf, what was he? |
59576 | What was it? |
59576 | What would they do? |
59576 | Where had he smelt it before? |
59576 | Who can say? |
59576 | Why? |
59576 | Would the wolves win? |
59576 | Would they punish him for his impertinence? |
59576 | [ Illustration: VERY DELIBERATELY AND SLOWLY, HE CAME DOWN THE SLOPE TOWARDS SHASTA AND SAT DOWN ON HIS HAUNCHES]"Shall we be brothers, you and I?" |
59576 | [ Illustration: WHAT WAS THAT DRIVING FURIOUSLY UP THE LONG STEEPS OF THE DAWN?] |
60659 | And ca n''t they climb? |
60659 | Bully, ai n''t it? |
60659 | But look here; we''re_ in_ something, if we did lose some sugar; we''ve got a bear cub, and my, ai n''t he a dandy? |
60659 | Do you know where we are, Tom? |
60659 | Guess we''re partners on this sugar making, ai n''t we? |
60659 | It''s a panther, ai n''t it? |
60659 | Oh, Tony, what if these bad men shoot_ our_ angel birds? |
60659 | Oh, oh, what_ can_ we do? 60659 S''pose it climbs up_ before_ I get there?" |
60659 | Say, what if the old bear comes back for her cub? 60659 Think he''ll come back?" |
60659 | What for they get those angel bird feathers, Tony? |
60659 | What is it? |
60659 | What,_ that thing_? 60659 Where?" |
60659 | Wo n''t we surprise the folks when we lug all this sugar home, and a bear cub too? |
60659 | Ai n''t he just a corker?" |
60659 | But from where? |
60659 | Could it be that he had fallen down through the shaking beams to the floor below_ with_ the panther? |
60659 | Did you ever chance to see a bat when it attempted to walk? |
60659 | Had she been caught by the hounds? |
60659 | Methuselah had not been asleep, however, so he just raised one cold eye and stared after the boys insolently, as much as to say,"Who''s afraid?" |
60659 | My, ai n''t he the funniest little fellow?" |
60659 | Say, why in creation did n''t you wake a fellow up?" |
60659 | Then I wonder which one will come off the better, the badger or the hedgehog? |
60659 | We never strike off quite so far east as this, do we?" |
60659 | What could it be? |
60659 | What could it have been? |
60659 | What do you think of that?" |
60659 | What if a beam should slip, and let him down below? |
60659 | What would be their sad fate? |
60659 | Where had Ned vanished? |
60659 | Who is it that tells us the tortoise is so slow? |
60659 | Would Tom never get the gun loaded and fire? |
60659 | Would the great shell- fish never loosen its grip? |
33936 | , the answer 2, although I had expected the answer 1; at another time I asked,How much is 16 less 9? |
33936 | , twice in succession received the answer,3", and upon my question,"How much is 3 plus 4?" |
33936 | ,On which is the word''Stall''? |
33936 | 3 times 3 is 8? 33936 And how often is two contained in six? |
33936 | And there are always how many in each group? 33936 And where are your legs?" |
33936 | But now, you were to add not merely 1, but 5; how much have you still to add to the 10? |
33936 | How many are there? |
33936 | How many balls are there to the left? |
33936 | How many times two balls are there? |
33936 | How many, therefore, are two times two? |
33936 | There are now how many balls to the left? |
33936 | What are the factors of 28? |
33936 | What tone must be omitted to make it pleasant? |
33936 | : was there a mixture of instruction and of training to respond to cues? |
33936 | After Mr. Schillings had suffered this to occur three times he accosted the horse peremptorily:"And now are you going to answer correctly?". |
33936 | All of the horse''s responses were correct, even the one answering the question:"How much is 7 times 7? |
33936 | And now what was it that this wonderful horse could do? |
33936 | And why should he not be willing to sell even a thinking horse, since he had become convinced that any other could be instructed in the same way? |
33936 | At another time a picture of a horse standing at a manger was shown him and he was asked,"What does this represent?" |
33936 | Besitzen die Tiere, speziell Hunde, Verstand oder nicht? |
33936 | Busch? |
33936 | But by means of which sense organ was it received by the horse? |
33936 | C, d and e were given simultaneously and Hans was asked:"Does that sound pleasant?" |
33936 | CHAPTER III THE AUTHOR''S INTROSPECTIONS In the preceding chapter we asked: What is it that determines the horse''s movements? |
33936 | Do they call the blue, blue, and the red, red? |
33936 | ETTLINGER, M. Sind die Tiere vernünftig? |
33936 | FREUND, F. Der"kluge"Hans? |
33936 | Gradually it became unnecessary to touch the foot or to point to the pins, and instead the question was introduced:"How many are there? |
33936 | He could also answer such inquiries as this:"If the eighth day of a month comes on Tuesday, what is the date for the following Friday?" |
33936 | His master asked him:"In which place are there two cloths?". |
33936 | How many are still standing?" |
33936 | How much must you add to the 9 to have 10?" |
33936 | How was Mr. von Osten to know beforehand that every questioner, who might appear, would execute the same movements that he himself had used? |
33936 | I asked the horse aloud"Which direction is left? |
33936 | If an error entered into Hans''answer, he could nearly always correct it immediately upon being asked:"By how many units did you go wrong?" |
33936 | If he carefully refrained from any movement whatsoever, and looking straight before him asked the horse,"Which direction is right?" |
33936 | If we now ask:"What occurred in the mind of the questioners, while they were giving the signs? |
33936 | Is it possible that such a man, one who had all the pride of gentle birth, would become a trickster in his old age, all for the love of money? |
33936 | Later the cloth and pins were omitted and the question was asked:"How much is two and three?". |
33936 | Mr. von Osten asked:"What is the position, counting from left to right, of the placard which has the word''aber''inscribed upon it?". |
33936 | Mr. von Osten pointed to one of the men and asked:"On which of the slates is this gentleman''s name to be found?" |
33936 | On still another occasion Mr. Grabow sang two tones-- the second being the fourth of the first-- and asked Hans:"How many intervals lie between?" |
33936 | One time I received in response to the question,"What day of the week is Monday? |
33936 | Or one might ask:"Hans, where is your head? |
33936 | Pointing to the units of one group, the teacher asks:"There are always how many in the group?" |
33936 | Possibly he understood also"trois"and"quatre"? |
33936 | Stumpf? |
33936 | That it was possible to ask such questions as:"How many times is 100,000 contained in 654321? |
33936 | The command in this case was:"Jump", or the question was:"What do the horses do in the circus?". |
33936 | The following were typical responses: Three tones were played and the question was asked,"How many tones were played?" |
33936 | The horse was then asked:"Upon which placard is the word''Hans''? |
33936 | The most important of these questions is,"Does the animal possess consciousness, and is it like the human consciousness?" |
33936 | The opinion was expressed that"Hans was unable to answer the simplest question such as''What is two plus three?'' |
33936 | The test is: Do they, themselves, use them correctly? |
33936 | The tones c, e, g, a,( 1, 3, 5, 6) were struck and the question asked,"Which tone must be eliminated to make the complex a chord?" |
33936 | Then the question discussed was whether''tricks''were involved; now the question is: What is the mechanism of the process? |
33936 | Thus Hans answered my question:"How many angles has a hexagon? |
33936 | Thus I find in the record of the September- Commission that the question"How much is 3 plus 2?" |
33936 | Thus he asked, e. g.,"2 times 2 is 5, is it not?" |
33936 | Thus, Mr. von Osten in response to the question:"How much is 3 times 5? |
33936 | Thus, what is the influence of the visual image upon the gestures for"up,""down,"etc.? |
33936 | Thus, when I asked the horse:"How much is 2 plus 4? |
33936 | Thus, when Mr. Hahn asked the question:"What is one- half of 10? |
33936 | Thus, when to the question,"How many of the gentlemen present are wearing straw hats?" |
33936 | To the question"Which of the two is the black one?" |
33936 | To the question,"How much is 9 less 1?" |
33936 | Upon being asked"What is this woman holding in her hand?" |
33936 | What could have been his motive? |
33936 | What was the genesis of these unnatural forms of expression? |
33936 | What was the selective principle involved? |
33936 | What was to be done, with this mass of conflicting explanations? |
33936 | Who would work a child with such puzzling questions? |
33936 | Why did they wait so long, if they had convincing proof for their position? |
33936 | [ E]"How much is 2/5 plus 1/2?" |
33936 | he answered,"3", and to"How much is 2 times 6?" |
33936 | he tapped 6, and to"What is one- fourth of 36?" |
33936 | or"Which way is upward? |
33936 | or,"How many minutes has the large hand to travel between seven minutes after a quarter past the hour, and three quarters past?" |
33936 | page 95)? |
20547 | ''What is it?'' 20547 And what has my colour to do with my danger?" |
20547 | And what will happen if we choose the other pair of eggs? |
20547 | And where is your own nest, O Great Blue Heron? |
20547 | Are they-- good? |
20547 | Are you never still? |
20547 | But how do you find anything to eat in the winter- time? |
20547 | But where is your red cap, and where is your white vest, and where is your black coat? 20547 But which shall we choose?" |
20547 | But, chickadee, though you are so cheery and gay in winter, are you not really happier in the summer- time? |
20547 | Could you? |
20547 | Did you notice the little lane down which I returned to my tiny home? |
20547 | Did you observe the dark brown lines on my head? 20547 Do feathers make a warm dress, mother? |
20547 | Do n''t you see those black clouds above us? 20547 Do n''t your feet get very cold?" |
20547 | Do you not see that bird perched upon the fence? |
20547 | Do you stay here in the winter, then? |
20547 | Fear? |
20547 | How deep is it? |
20547 | How does it happen that you are so fearless? 20547 How many have you now?" |
20547 | I might have stepped on your nest? |
20547 | Looking for a vacant house? |
20547 | Must you go? |
20547 | Now what can I do for him? 20547 Oh, did you come to my bird feast?" |
20547 | On what shall you feed your little ones? |
20547 | So you store away food? |
20547 | That a bird''s nest? |
20547 | Then you will sing for me again? |
20547 | To- who? 20547 To- who? |
20547 | We had eggs and--"Eggs? |
20547 | Well, my friend,asked she,"where is your snow?" |
20547 | Were you sorry to leave your safe high nest? |
20547 | Wh- a- a- t--? |
20547 | What are they up to? |
20547 | What can be the matter? |
20547 | What can he be doing? |
20547 | What did you get for Christmas? |
20547 | What is he doing? |
20547 | What is that? |
20547 | What is this strange plume stick? |
20547 | What were you doing here? |
20547 | Where did you get them? |
20547 | Where did you spend the winter? |
20547 | Where do you sleep? |
20547 | Which eggs do you choose? |
20547 | Who are you? |
20547 | Who made it? |
20547 | Why did you go into that hole to eat? |
20547 | Why do you look toward the fence so often? |
20547 | Why should I not be merry? |
20547 | Will you build here in the apple- tree? |
20547 | Will you have some of my berries? |
20547 | Yes,Phyllis answered,"what is he doing there?" |
20547 | You do not think your babies pretty? |
20547 | You had eggs? |
20547 | You remember how we used to sing in the spring? 20547 You?" |
20547 | And the gray, greedy hawk said,"Where are you going, pretty lark?" |
20547 | And the king said to the queen,"What shall we do for this little lark who has sung so sweet a song to us?" |
20547 | And the sly fox said,"Where are you going, sweet lark?" |
20547 | Are n''t you rather early?" |
20547 | But that I do not mind, for will they not some day be as beautiful as I myself?" |
20547 | Ca n''t you find the road to go Where''tis always May? |
20547 | Did something tell him that his dear baby was in danger? |
20547 | Did you ever see it?" |
20547 | Did you not notice how I hovered near the grass- tops for a moment and then rose high into the air?" |
20547 | Did you notice the white spot above each eye?" |
20547 | Did your family leave you behind?" |
20547 | Do n''t you find it hard to get Anything to eat? |
20547 | Do n''t you know what a reaper is? |
20547 | Do they make a warm winter dress? |
20547 | Do you see how they are constantly dipping their bills into the water? |
20547 | Have you not seen us flying about among the trees in the winter- time?" |
20547 | How did you ever think of anything so lovely?" |
20547 | How do you chance to be here in the winter- time? |
20547 | Hungry little chickadees, Would you like some bread? |
20547 | I do not fear for thee, though wroth The tempest rushes through the sky; For are we not God''s children both, Thou, little sandpiper, and I? |
20547 | Jolly little chickadees, Have you had enough? |
20547 | Oh, who are so happy as we?" |
20547 | PREFACE Where can you find a lad who does not treasure among his secrets the nesting- place of some pair of birds? |
20547 | Robins all have found it out, Wrens and bluebirds too, Do n''t you wish you''d thought to ask Ere away they flew? |
20547 | Sorry little chickadees, Do n''t you know the way? |
20547 | Tell me, did this last fish also stick in your throat?" |
20547 | To what warm shelter canst thou fly? |
20547 | To- who- ooo- oo- oo?" |
20547 | To- who- whoo- oo- oo?" |
20547 | WHICH WAS THE WISER? |
20547 | What did you have for breakfast this morning?" |
20547 | What shall I do when the thick snow flies and the winter winds cut like knives?" |
20547 | What was it that made the farmer check his horses all at once? |
20547 | When did you arrive? |
20547 | Where can you find a child who does not watch for the first robin of spring- time? |
20547 | Where can you find one who does not know when the wild ducks in the wedge- shaped flocks fly southward? |
20547 | Which was the wiser, the raven or the robin? |
20547 | Who is he, Jackie?" |
20547 | Why do birds have feathers instead of fur?" |
20547 | Why do you build so near our homes? |
20547 | who was it called me short neck?'' |
48010 | And what name shall we give to those which, like the plover, render services which may be compared to medical attendance? |
48010 | Are they coleoptera, as was for a long time, and perhaps correctly, supposed, or do they form a distinct order by themselves? |
48010 | Are they parasites or messmates? |
48010 | Are they parasites, pseudo- parasites, or messmates? |
48010 | But what carnivore can habitually feed on the cheiroptera? |
48010 | But whence comes it? |
48010 | Can it be believed that such ideas were put forward by zoologists of the highest merit? |
48010 | Did they come from within the bodies of certain insects which they have quitted, on account of the rain which had fallen? |
48010 | Do not aphides also prevent the too rapid development of certain plants? |
48010 | Do the cetacea generally live on fish, and do they become the prey of some aquatic carnivora? |
48010 | Do we ever see her retrograde thus from a more 191 complicated organization to one more simple?" |
48010 | Do we not find medical men prescribing the employment of leeches, and consequently calling in the assistance of certain parasitical animals? |
48010 | Does not this animal fulfil in the egg of the sterlet, the same office as the histriobdella in the egg of the lobster? |
48010 | Had the Ichthyosauri and the Plesiosauri worms in their spiral coecum like plagiostomous fishes, which resemble them so much in the digestive tube? |
48010 | Has nature accustomed us to such profusion? |
48010 | Have they fallen from the sky completely formed? |
48010 | Have we not known the time when all maladies were supposed to yield to the action of leeches, and do we not see the good effects of their application? |
48010 | How is it introduced? |
48010 | Is it a mother and an enclosed daughter, as is the case with aphides, or is the ciliated envelope merely a cloak? |
48010 | Is it a worm which lives in freedom here, and parasitically elsewhere? |
48010 | Is it the same with worms and animals of other classes which are only known in the condition of parasites? |
48010 | Is it then merely a messmate? |
48010 | Is this a species of worm new to science? |
48010 | Is this difference the result of the different kinds of food taken from the roots and the leaves? |
48010 | Is this fish the messmate of the shark to which he is attached? |
48010 | May I be permitted to state by what means we have arrived at the knowledge of the transmigration of worms? |
48010 | Should an organ infested with worms be considered diseased, simply on account of their presence? |
48010 | Should this worm be placed among messmates? |
48010 | There exists also a river species; but have not different worms been confounded under this name? |
48010 | This worm is evidently a_ Rhabditis_, but is it that which lives in the earth, or an allied species? |
48010 | To whom do the manufacturers of Verviers or of Lyons, of Ghent or of Manchester, apply for their raw materials? |
48010 | Under what conditions do those crabs, called by naturalists Pinnotheres, and which we do not find elsewhere, inhabit mussels? |
48010 | We often ask ourselves what can be the use of these little creatures-- what good purpose can be effected by vermin which annoy everybody? |
48010 | Were there cysticerci of different kinds in the peritoneum of the rabbit? |
48010 | What is the part which it plays? |
48010 | Whence came these_ Tæniæ cucumerinæ_? |
48010 | Whence come they? |
48010 | Who has not admired the ingenious construction of the beehive or of the ant- hill, or the delicate and marvellous structure of the spider''s web? |
48010 | Who has not been annoyed by the flea, which abandons for an instant the dog, its natural host? |
48010 | Who is there that does not nourish some acari, of the genus_ Simonea_, in the membrane of the nose? |
48010 | and ought we to feel surprised that the theory of spontaneous generation was so long taught in the physiological schools? |
7446 | What does it matter? |
7446 | A long body, wonderfully slim at the waist, bright yellow legs and thorax, and a dark crimson abdomen,--what object can be prettier to look at? |
7446 | And yet, to one acquainted with these lovers of brief phrases, what more intelligible answer could have been returned? |
7446 | But how about the larger species, used as food, and which have had a longer and sadder experience of man''s destructive power? |
7446 | Can it be believed that these late visitors to the Falklands were breeders in Patagonia, and had migrated east to winter in so bleak a region? |
7446 | Can we not say as much of the horse? |
7446 | Do they really breed in Patagonia? |
7446 | Have all young birds a similarly discriminating instinct with regard to their enemies? |
7446 | How does nature protect the skunk itself from the injurious effects of its potent fluid? |
7446 | Is the female, then, without an instinct so common r-- has she no sudden fits of irrepressible gladness? |
7446 | It is plain that these birds have been drawn from over an immense area to one spot; and the question is how have they been drawn? |
7446 | It was not strange then that when I saw this small bird the question rose to my mind, what kind of nest does it build? |
7446 | The question then arises, how did this unnecessary fear, so universal in swallows, originate? |
7446 | The question then arises: Does the wild jungle fowl possess the same pernicious instinct? |
7446 | They offered me a skin-- what more could I want? |
7446 | What is the meaning of such an instinct? |
7446 | Who that has travelled for eighteen days on a dead level in a broiling sun can resist a hill? |
7446 | Why do these southern birds winter so far south? |
27285 | But did n''t your father go to sea? |
27285 | By this wing which I send you,she began,"can you tell me the name of the bird that owned it?" |
27285 | Did he come over when you did? |
27285 | Do you know why they call that Turkey Hill? |
27285 | How old do you think he is? |
27285 | Pigeons? |
27285 | Sha n''t I take your coat? |
27285 | The human nature of plants,--have I any reader so innocent as not to feel at this moment the appropriateness of the phrase? |
27285 | There are more than that in Provincetown? |
27285 | What do you call him? |
27285 | What on earth can this crazy thing be shooting about my ears in this style for? |
27285 | Who lives there? |
27285 | Why appear you with this ridiculous boldness? |
27285 | Why could n''t_ we_ have found those plovers, instead of that fellow? |
27285 | Why did n''t you take it? |
27285 | Your fathers, where are they? |
27285 | ), or the latest novelty in willows? |
27285 | And what was the object of the male''s watch? |
27285 | As I review what I have written, I am tempted to exclaim with Tennyson:--"And was the day of my delight As pure and perfect as I say?" |
27285 | But he forgot one thing, and when his mother asked him, as of course she did, for mothers are all alike,"Did you thank the gentleman?" |
27285 | But where? |
27285 | But who could ever feel toward it as toward the gentian? |
27285 | But who in New England has ever seen any grand army of them actually on the wing? |
27285 | But, if so, why did I hear nothing from her, as I passed up and down? |
27285 | Can the highest angel be as far above the lowest man? |
27285 | Can there be one so favored as not to have some unmistakable thistles among his Christian townsmen and acquaintance? |
27285 | Could anything be more characteristic of human nature than just such inconsistencies? |
27285 | Could such truancy be habitual with the male ruby- throat? |
27285 | Could that combination have been fortuitous? |
27285 | Discard the golden- rod for the gentian, and in turn forsake the gentian for the twin- flower? |
27285 | Do they straggle along so loosely as to escape particular notice? |
27285 | Does he like this dog- day morning, with its alternate shower and sunshine, and its constant stickiness and heat? |
27285 | For one instant I thought, Can it be the Philadelphia vireo? |
27285 | Had I stumbled upon a regular route of swallow migration? |
27285 | Had they moved away? |
27285 | Had this strange thing happened? |
27285 | Has the duty of non- resistance no exceptions nor abatements in the vegetable kingdom? |
27285 | He had heard of the roost, apparently( how and where? |
27285 | How can one expect to be famous unless he takes a little pains to keep himself before the public? |
27285 | How could I doubt that Providence itself had set me a summer lesson? |
27285 | How did it know I was to pass that way on Christmas afternoon, and by what sort of freemasonry did it attract my attention? |
27285 | How early in the season does this nightly flocking begin? |
27285 | How was it to be explained? |
27285 | If his mate and nest were not within view from his ash- tree perch, what could be the meaning of his conduct? |
27285 | If so, what mean congregations like that in the Ipswich dunes? |
27285 | Is it a mark of strength or of weakness? |
27285 | Is it a reminiscence merely, a final flickering of the candle, or is it rather a prophecy of life yet to come? |
27285 | Is it then an unpardonable misdemeanor for a plant to defend itself against attack and extermination? |
27285 | Is such a course of action habitual with male hummers? |
27285 | It may have been the recreant husband and father, unable longer to deny himself a look at his bairns,--who knows? |
27285 | Or are their grand concerted flights taken at such an altitude as to be invisible? |
27285 | Or had my eyes deceived me? |
27285 | Otherwise, how would the earth ever be clothed with verdure? |
27285 | Otherwise, why had they never sought admission to the more imposing and, as I take it, more fashionable orthodox sanctuary? |
27285 | That would be indeed a hard saying; for what would become of our universal favorite, the rose? |
27285 | The majority is wiser than the minority, of course; otherwise, what becomes of its divine and inalienable right to lay down the law? |
27285 | The thrushes have gone? |
27285 | They are impatient to be gone, I say; but who knows how many of them are gone already? |
27285 | Was I interested in humming- birds? |
27285 | Was it a mere coincidence that these swallows, bluebirds, and robins were all crossing the valley just at this point? |
27285 | Was the heron curious, as well as his pursuer? |
27285 | What could I make of all this? |
27285 | What could I say, having had an aching tooth before now myself? |
27285 | What is beauty for, if not to be admired? |
27285 | What knew he of the beauties of the picture at which I was gazing? |
27285 | What means this strange revival of youth in age? |
27285 | What shall we say of this habit of variability? |
27285 | What should a man do? |
27285 | What warbler could that be? |
27285 | What was he doing? |
27285 | What would winter be worth without the naked branches of maples and elms, beeches and oaks? |
27285 | Where are the blue golden- winged warblers that sang daily on the edge of the wood opposite my windows, so that I listened to them at my work? |
27285 | Where have you been so long? |
27285 | Where shall we hear better preaching, more searching comment upon life and death, than in this same cathedral? |
27285 | Where was his mate? |
27285 | Whether they have any less sensuous motive for loving to wander over such heights, who will presume to determine? |
27285 | Which is nobler,--to be true to one''s ideal in spite of circumstances, or to conquer circumstances by suiting one''s self to them? |
27285 | Who could ask a better stimulus for his imagination than the annual southing of this mighty host? |
27285 | Who knows but by lifelong fellowship with it I may absorb something of its virtue? |
27285 | Who knows, I say, how many such summer friends have already left us? |
27285 | Who shall decide? |
27285 | Who shall forbid us to hope that what is true of the violet will prove true also of the man? |
27285 | Who would have believed that an assembly of thousands could break up so quietly? |
27285 | Why go to a mountain- top to look at warblers and thrushes? |
27285 | Why not accept the pleasing invitation, which seemed meant on purpose for just such an idle pedestrian as myself? |
27285 | Why should he be imposed upon, simply because he was small? |
27285 | Why, then, should not here and there a man take up the business of walking, of wearing out shoes? |
27285 | Wood is one of the precious metals on Cape Cod, and if oars are used for fence- rails, and fish- nets for hen- coops, why not laths for bean- poles? |
27285 | Would he go back to his cradle for the night? |
27285 | Would smoking be offensive to me? |
27285 | Yet by what possibility could I have been so deceived? |

22129 | And are you aware of the amount of damage which you do to the poor, struggling farmer? |
22129 | And father? |
22129 | And you really like corn better than anything? |
22129 | But hawks would never come near the towns? |
22129 | But why on earth,I protested,"ca n''t you build a proper nest for yourself?" |
22129 | Can Life be Indefinitely Prolonged? 22129 Could there be better method of defence? |
22129 | Did you ever_ shriek_? |
22129 | Do you know anything about sparrows? |
22129 | Do you know what a_ clutch_ is? |
22129 | Do you like mice? |
22129 | Have you any clutches by you? |
22129 | Have you any nuts? |
22129 | Have you ever heard me sing? |
22129 | I see,said I;"but what about the entrance being plastered up?" |
22129 | Meaning? |
22129 | Suppose the martins got the pull over the sparrows, do you think it would be better for things in general? |
22129 | Well,_ one_ of you had to be the odd egg, I suppose? |

22129 | Rats had done such things before now, but it was only deferring the evil hour, and what time would he have to do it in? |
22129 | Should he make a rush for it before the enemy had regained courage? |
22129 | Sooner or later she would find her way inside-- and then? |
22129 | Suppose his leaf was torn from its socket and hurled a hundred yards into the field? |
22129 | The vole was not so far wrong after all, for could anything, whose intelligence was otherwise than laughable, be in his present plight? |
22129 | Was he likely to find an exit amid altogether strange surroundings? |
22129 | Was he not the intruder? |
22129 | What burrow is too small for it? |
22129 | What do the people who write books know about sparrows? |
22129 | What do you think of that?" |
22129 | What had he said to her? |
22129 | What is the one unfailing, all- sufficing trick? |
22129 | What is to be the end of it?" |
22129 | What made her change her mind at the eleventh tree? |
22129 | What made him quit the water altogether? |
22129 | What monster, think you, would an elephant, built for burrowing, be? |
22129 | What rodent has a chance against them? |
22129 | What says the water- rat?" |
22129 | What_ good_ do you do?" |
22129 | Whence had she come? |
22129 | Where can you find fiercer courage than mine; where, bulk for bulk, more mighty strength? |
22129 | Where would they come in against a hare?" |
22129 | Which of you defies the fox or terrier in the open? |
22129 | Who can thread the woods like me? |
22129 | Who was she? |
22129 | Why did that curved wire rattle about when he touched it? |
22129 | Why does a dog naturally go for a cat? |
22129 | Why is the spiral made? |
22129 | Why not fly like me?" |
22129 | Would you exterminate him because in your blindness you only note the debit side? |
22129 | Would you like to know the truth of the matter?" |
22129 | Would you pit yourself against me, hedgehog?" |

22129 | and when was ever mercy accorded to such among four- footed things? |
22129 | did they converge by design? |
22129 | he cried,"is it time?" |
22129 | or was the second made by some colossal rat, stretched at full length, and trusting his life to his superhuman hearing? |
22129 | that associations have been formed to exterminate sparrows? |
22129 | that laws innumerable have been passed concerning sparrows? |
22129 | what matter whose? |
35062 | And if so, where is it kept? |
35062 | And leave them where any pilfering jay would be able to pick them out at his ease? |
35062 | And what do we find? |
35062 | And where the evidence of design is so convincing must we not believe that there was a Designer?" |
35062 | Are chestnuts ever laid up for winter? |
35062 | But first, in how many ways is it possible for a bird to use his tail as a prop? |
35062 | But if a little is good, why are not all the pairs used as props? |
35062 | But what is the use of all this work? |
35062 | But where does so much tongue come from? |
35062 | But why does he spend so much time in making holes? |
35062 | Can the bird pick as well as he could with a sharp point? |
35062 | Can we estimate the amount of work required to lay up one day''s food? |
35062 | Did He wind it up like a watch to go till it should run down? |
35062 | Did he always pick out the poor little one that had none the time before, I wonder? |
35062 | Did not God make all kinds of creatures in the beginning? |
35062 | Did she promise him? |
35062 | Did you ever think what an inconvenience any tail at all must be in a woodpecker''s hole? |
35062 | Did you ever wonder why they are as large at the bottom as at the top? |
35062 | Do borers live in such straight little streets? |
35062 | Do they take turns of equal length? |
35062 | Do you say that a bird can not turn his toes about in this way? |
35062 | Does it stretch like a piece of elastic cord? |
35062 | Does one work more than the other? |
35062 | Does the taste of the sap affect the taste of the fruit? |
35062 | Does this look as if the bird were digging grubs? |
35062 | First, how many shapes can any bird''s tail have? |
35062 | For what? |
35062 | Has God gone on a visit because these living creatures are looking out for themselves? |
35062 | How can they go on being made without God? |
35062 | How do I know that it was a sapsucker''s work? |
35062 | How do songless birds express their emotions? |
35062 | How does the woodpecker know that winter will come this year? |
35062 | How far south is the habit kept up? |
35062 | How long could he live on ten acorns? |
35062 | How many kinds of birds have we that use their tails for a support? |
35062 | How many must he gather for his winter''s needs? |
35062 | How many must he lose by forgetting to come back to them? |
35062 | How, then, is the woodpecker to do what we can not do? |
35062 | II HOW THE WOODPECKER CATCHES A GRUB Did you ever see a hairy woodpecker strolling about a tree for what he could pick up? |
35062 | Is he not both in his works and ways of working-- with the one exception of the Californian woodpecker-- more of a miner? |
35062 | Is it observed beyond the limits of a regular and considerable snowfall? |
35062 | Is it probable that he tries to raise a fine crop of grubs in this way? |
35062 | Is the world a machine, or is it alive? |
35062 | Is there a difference in the taste of the sap? |
35062 | Is this theory true? |
35062 | Might it not be a foot equally divided without reference to the number of toes? |
35062 | Next, what variations in shapes do we observe among the woodpeckers themselves? |
35062 | One point we have left unexplained: What is the advantage, if there is any, in the sharper curve to the tails of the arboreal woodpeckers? |
35062 | Or did she find a gayer suitor? |
35062 | Or is a part hidden somewhere? |
35062 | Or is it merely a question of quantity? |
35062 | Or put them in the track of every wandering squirrel? |
35062 | Pick and drill, are they not? |
35062 | Shall we believe it less because we find in the creatures about us intelligence and the power to care for their own lives? |
35062 | Shall we grudge him a bone from our own abundance, or neglect to fasten it firmly out of reach of the cat and dog? |
35062 | Suppose the nippers had one short jaw and one long one, would they then take as firm hold as they do with jaws of equal length? |
35062 | That is, do the birds lay up their nuts in order to keep them out of the snow, or for some other reason? |
35062 | Then came the question, is there any similarity in their use? |
35062 | These are questions every one ought to ask, but-- did God leave his world after He had made it and go a long way off? |
35062 | Was this sound bark? |
35062 | Were they made less perfectly in the beginning because when new conditions surround them they are able to change to meet the strange requirements? |
35062 | What are the miner''s tools? |
35062 | What are the woodpecker''s? |
35062 | What are their habits and what sort of tails have they? |
35062 | What did he get? |
35062 | What have we proved? |
35062 | What is his object? |
35062 | What is it that especially fits it for climbing? |
35062 | What is the advantage of this compressed tip? |
35062 | What shall we do with him, the only black sheep in all the woodpecker flock? |
35062 | What should be the cause of such a remarkable change when all conditions of growth have remained the same? |
35062 | What was he doing? |
35062 | What was the essential point? |
35062 | Where could the bird find half- grown grasshoppers? |
35062 | Which positions bring most feathers into use? |
35062 | Which shall we call the woodpecker-- a carpenter or a miner? |
35062 | Who does not know how mice and chipmunks hide their food? |
35062 | Who does not remember the articles his pet Jim Crow stole and lost to him forever? |
35062 | Who has not watched the blue jay skulking off to hide an acorn where he will be sure to forget it? |
35062 | Who knows how long they work before resting? |
35062 | Who knows how many kinds of nuts the red- head eats? |
35062 | Why are not the tips of the feathers stiffer? |
35062 | Why did the bird dig these holes? |
35062 | Why do the drilling woodpeckers have a perfectly straight bill? |
35062 | Why is a flicker''s bill better for being curved also? |
35062 | Why is it so rounded? |
35062 | Why may not the two observed instances of the Lewis''s woodpecker be examples of a similar habit just beginning? |
35062 | Why may we not suppose as a basis and a spur to further investigation that the others also are acquiring ways new and strange? |
35062 | Why should it be strange if their minds were alike too? |
35062 | Why should there not be such individuals among birds? |
35062 | Would it not be better if the woodpecker''s tail had been cut square across and made of feathers equally rigid and ending in short stiff spines? |
35062 | XVI THE ARGUMENT FROM DESIGN But if the birds are making themselves into new species, where is the place for God in the universe? |
35062 | [ Illustration] How do I know that a bird caused it to fall? |
35062 | he laughed; or"Are you all right, children?" |
35062 | if they had a natural bent toward accumulativeness, and a natural desire to try new wrinkles? |
35062 | or that it showed a far more skillful one, since he could make a living, self- regulating, adaptive watch? |

9501 | And what more delightful word did ever Miss Repplier write than her description of a kitten? |
9501 | And who knows, if he had spoken, what light he might have shed on what seemed to mere mortals as mysterious, abstruse, and occult problems? |
9501 | Ca n''t you get me one?" |
9501 | Can it be that Richelieu has been given credit for Colbert''s virtues? |
9501 | Do you remember Arnold''s Scholar Gypsy? |

9501 | Have n''t you had breakfast enough?" |
9501 | How better than by applying it to our cats can we demonstrate the truth of Solomon''s maxim,"A merciful man is merciful to his beast"? |
9501 | How do cats tell the hour of day, anyway? |
9501 | I knew Zara and Selima( Selima was it, or Fatima? |
9501 | I was busy, and at first paid no attention to her; but she grew more persistent, so that I finally laid down my letters and asked:"What is it, Puss? |
9501 | In a house full of birds Muff never touched one, although he was an excellent mouser( who says cats have no conscience?). |
9501 | Is n''t this a truly horrible creature?" |
9501 | Is not a soft, white- breasted maltese or tabby as attractive? |
9501 | Lucifer seldom purrs-- I wonder if that is a characteristic of black cats?" |
9501 | Our Scot was his feline equivalent.... Have you counted in Prosper Merimà © e among the confirmed lovers of cats? |
9501 | Since long before Whittington became Lord Mayor of London, indeed, cats have been popular in England: for did not the law protect them? |
9501 | The parrot, seeing its danger, said in a bass voice as grave and deep as M. Prudhomme''s own,''As tu dà © jeunà ©, Jacquot?'' |
9501 | What ails that old cat, anyway?" |
9501 | What did she say? |
9501 | Who has not read Agnes Repplier''s fascinating essays on"Agrippina"and"A Kitten"? |
9501 | Who would not be a cat of Louis Wain''s, capable of creating ten minutes''sunshine in a childish heart?" |
9501 | Why do n''t you fix it?" |
9501 | Why, why was pigeon''s flesh so nice, That thoughtless cats should love it thus? |
9501 | Would your cat do as much for you, I''d like to know?'' |
9501 | Yet why should he? |
9501 | exclaimed one and another, until he sat up coyly and cocked his head one side as if to say:--"Oh, now, do you really think I look pretty?" |

8729 | Are green and red distinguishable? |
8729 | Are these statements true for the group of one hundred individuals whose distribution among the three classes of whirlers has been given? |
8729 | Are we therefore to infer that it is less intelligent, that it is less docile, than the cat, the raccoon, or the monkey? |
8729 | As might have been anticipated(? |
8729 | At this point we may very fittingly ask, what sense data are necessary for the guidance of the series of acts which constitutes the labyrinth habit? |
8729 | But what of the interpretation of the results in terms of Weber''s law? |
8729 | CHAPTER IX THE SENSE OF SIGHT: COLOR VISION Is the dancing mouse able to discriminate colors as we do? |
8729 | Can a dancer learn a given labyrinth path the more readily because it has previously had experience in another form of labyrinth? |
8729 | Can a habit be re- acquired with greater facility than it was originally acquired? |
8729 | Can the dancer distinguish white from black; light gray from dark gray; two grays which are almost of the same brightness? |
8729 | Can the dancer learn a regular labyrinth path more quickly than an irregular one? |
8729 | Cyon''s belief raises the interesting question, are the mice normal or abnormal, healthy or pathological? |
8729 | Does it possess anything which may properly be called color vision? |
8729 | Does the dancer follow the path by sight, touch, smell, by all, or by no one of them? |
8729 | Does the dancer transmit to its offspring the tendency to whirl in a definite manner? |
8729 | Does this law, in any form, hold for the brightness vision of the dancing mouse? |
8729 | He asks, therefore, does this mean that the males lack a voice or that they are less sensitive than the females? |
8729 | How shall we answer the question? |
8729 | If so, what is the nature of its ability in this sense field? |
8729 | If this were not true, how are the results of Table 16 to be accounted for? |
8729 | Is re- learning easier than learning? |
8729 | Is this to be accounted for in terms of inheritance? |
8729 | The question is, can they, under favorable conditions of illumination, be perceived by the dancer? |
8729 | The question which I asked was, can the dancer discriminate by means of this difference in visual form? |
8729 | The question which the experimenter asked in connection with this test really is, Can a dancer learn to go to the white box and thus avoid discomfort? |
8729 | Therefore we are still confronted with the question, can they see colors? |
8729 | Was this due to inability to learn so complex a path, or to the fact that the method is not adapted to their nature? |
8729 | What are we to conclude from this? |
8729 | What do these records indicate concerning the influence of individually acquired forms of behavior upon the behavior of the race? |
8729 | What does this mean? |
8729 | What further evidence is to be had? |

16255 | Do you remember that line, colonel? |
16255 | Do you suppose your father would know? |
16255 | Do you think it is so very wicked to keep-- that is, to-- to deprive a bird of its liberty? |
16255 | Fashion, what is that? |
16255 | Fit for a king, eh? 16255 Goodness, child, is that the piece you want to read?" |
16255 | Has he any men slaves? |
16255 | He does? |
16255 | His slaves are nearly always rich women, are n''t they? |

16255 | And what did I see? |
16255 | And what would her hat look like without that bird on it, I''d like to know? |
16255 | As she bowled along the friend asked enthusiastically:"Is it not splendid?" |
16255 | But who could study on a morning like this, with the delicious warbling of the birds sounding in one''s ears? |
16255 | Children, do you know there is a society whose members pledge themselves to protect the birds? |
16255 | Did not all this prove her to be sweet and tender and loving and gentle and kind? |
16255 | Did other people really prize squirrels and frogs and lightning bugs and such things? |
16255 | Did you ever notice those borers at work, colonel? |
16255 | Did you ever? |
16255 | Did you want it for any special purpose?" |
16255 | Do n''t you know that childish thoughtlessness on a subject as important as the needless taking of life argues tremendously against us? |
16255 | Do they want to be regarded as irresponsible children forever? |
16255 | Do you know papa pretends it''s wicked for women to wear birds on their hats or trim their gowns with feather trimming? |
16255 | Had they no compassion for the feathered mother who had been robbed of her young for the sake of a hat? |
16255 | How could they abuse it and take its life?" |
16255 | How many would they use in one week?" |
16255 | I notice that the Australian government is-- Do you girls know where Australia is?" |
16255 | I suppose she could n''t think of anything new to say, so she observed:"''It''s a nice warm day for the first of September, do n''t you think?'' |
16255 | I wonder if Miss Harper knows?" |

16255 | If women must have feathers, why ca n''t they content themselves with wearing ostrich tips and plumes? |
16255 | If you ate a carload of watermelons in nine days, what part of a carload would you eat in one day?" |
16255 | Instead of persisting, she only said reproachfully, as she put me back on my perch:"Dear Dickey Downy, why are you afraid of me? |
16255 | Is n''t that a horrible record for women?" |
16255 | Is that it, Jeannette?'' |
16255 | Might not one"as well be out of the world as out of the fashion"? |
16255 | My brother broke the silence by asking,"Are there any Christian women who wear birds, and are among the god''s worshipers?" |
16255 | Oh, girls, would n''t a row of ladybirds for buttons be pretty on my waist?" |
16255 | Was n''t he, aunty?" |
16255 | What d''ye ask for this bird?" |
16255 | What d''ye think of that?" |
16255 | What do you call your cats, Jeannette?'' |
16255 | What if it does hurt it?" |
16255 | What on earth did she let her take those big black wings for? |
16255 | What part of it will you eat in one day?" |
16255 | What would you think of a bird taking a bareback ride on a cow? |
16255 | Where do you suppose Johnny scraped up all these youngsters? |
16255 | Who''d''a thought of meeting company this far back in these mountains?" |
16255 | Why do they do this wicked thing?" |
16255 | Would not the forests be robbed of half their beauty and interest if the squirrels and chipmunks and birds and butterflies were killed off?" |
16255 | Would they deprive us of life?" |
16255 | Would you think the woman who wore that bunch of feathers on her bonnet could take much pleasure in it? |
16255 | You are familiar with their habits? |

25918 | [ 161]***** Mr McDougall? 25918 [ 282]***** A Scotch lady, who was discomposed by the introduction of gas, asked with much earnestness,"What''s to become o''the_ puir whales_?'' |
25918 | ''Can this,''he said to the physicians,''last long?'' |
25918 | ''Pray, sir, which of my estates should you like to have?''" |
25918 | ''What is to pay?'' |
25918 | --"And, pray, what is that?" |
25918 | --"Are you quite sure he never bites?" |
25918 | --"Did ye?" |
25918 | --"Does your lordship mean,"answered Lord Bradford,"a live sheep or a dead sheep?" |
25918 | --"Halves in what?" |
25918 | --"In my younger days, please your majesty, I was a great deal among them,"was the reply.--"What do you think of this, then?" |
25918 | --"Is it not the same thing?" |
25918 | --"Sure and do you not know, the Dun Cow-- the best of them all?" |
25918 | --"Wasn''t yer Riverence appaising the dogs?" |
25918 | --"Well, sir,"said the farmer,"what of that? |
25918 | --"Yes, that''s well, John; now, what do n''t you know?" |
25918 | --''How so?'' |
25918 | --''No horse? |
25918 | --''Pay, sir, for what?'' |
25918 | --''Well,''said Lord Sidmouth,''but why not be content with another? |
25918 | --''Your horse, sir? |
25918 | 295 SHEEP AND GOAT 295 How many Legs has a Sheep? |
25918 | A judge, joking a young barrister, said--"If you and I were turned into a horse and an ass, which would you prefer to be?" |
25918 | Are they th- v- ng all day long? |
25918 | As a good example of the Scottish variety, who is there that does not know Dean Ramsay''s"Reminiscences?" |
25918 | But was the latter made from calves''feet? |
25918 | But what old favourite dog or even bird is there that any one would part with? |
25918 | But what will you think when I tell you that it is the skull of_ Julius Cæsar_ when he was a little boy?" |
25918 | But who can bear his voice? |
25918 | Does n''t the place afford every convenience that_ a pig can require_? |
25918 | Dr Forbes Winslow asks,"Who has not seen Liston''s favourite cat Tom? |
25918 | HOW MANY LEGS HAS A SHEEP? |
25918 | He asked Mr Gilpin how he came to have so many cows when he had so little land? |
25918 | Highly enraged,"Sir,"says he to the farmer,"do you know, sir, that I have been at the two universities, and at two colleges in each university?" |
25918 | How is that poor little, red- saddled, long- eared creature to carry you? |
25918 | How many of their wranglers have ever distinguished themselves in the world? |
25918 | I am growing a great cat; pray how do you come on? |
25918 | Is not that cruel? |
25918 | Is that a dog or a fox?''" |
25918 | Is that cruelty to dowgs? |
25918 | Is there to be one for you and another for your legs? |
25918 | Mock I thee in wishing weal? |
25918 | Of modern describers of the very life and feelings of dogs, who can surpass Dr John Brown of Edinburgh? |
25918 | On another occasion, we passed some camels grazing at such a distance from the Nile, that I asked the Arab attending where they went to drink? |
25918 | On returning to his place, the clergyman, who was rather an absent man, asked the clerk,"Where was I a while ago?" |
25918 | Sergent, turning round, enraged and furious, exclaimed,''_ Madam, have you no humanity?_''"ARCTIC VOYAGER AND THE LEMMING. |
25918 | She instantly, conceiving I was thrown, if not killed, rushed down to the man, exclaiming,''Where is he?--where is your master?--is he hurt?'' |
25918 | Still more agitated by his silence, she exclaimed,''Is he hurt? |
25918 | The deposit was of such a singular nature, that we asked the quaint- looking gatherer how he supposed they came there? |
25918 | The gardener took Reynard to the doctor, when he exclaimed,"Why did you not call me up in the night, that I might have set the leg?" |
25918 | The master of the dog asked him why he had not rather struck the dog with the butt- end of his weapon? |
25918 | The poor raccoon, noticing the gun pointed at him, cried to the dead shot,"Air_ you_ General Scott?" |
25918 | The question was, on which side of the island was the rabbit''s hole? |
25918 | Weel, then, wha kens that the fox isna away snorin''happy afore the houn''s? |
25918 | What home landscape like that painted by Alfred Tennyson would be perfect without its cows? |
25918 | Where was the dog''s master? |
25918 | Who has not some faithful black Topsy, Tortoise- shell, or Tabby, or rather succession of them, whose biographies would afford many a curious story? |
25918 | _ North._ But the fox, James? |
25918 | _ North._ But the fox, James? |
25918 | _ North._ But the fox, James? |
25918 | _ North._ But the fox, James? |
25918 | _ North._ Is he a bit of a poet? |
25918 | _ North._ Think you, James, that he is a link? |
25918 | _ North._ Was ye ever in at a death? |
25918 | _ North._ Why, James, by this time he must be quite like one of the family? |
25918 | _ Shepherd._ A link in creation? |
25918 | _ Shepherd._ Isna he? |
25918 | _ Shepherd._ To wham? |
25918 | _ Tickler._ What fish, James, would you incline to be, if put into scales? |
25918 | _ Tickler._ Why do n''t you bring him to Ambrose''s? |
25918 | how are the children_ and your pigs_? |
25918 | rejoined Mr Newton, with some sarcasm in his tone,''do you suppose, sir, there will be fleas in heaven? |
25918 | said John;"wull ye haud my horse, sir?" |
25918 | said he;"Lisette, do you also present me petitions? |
25918 | she exclaimed;''does he really eat boys, Mr Smith?'' |
25918 | was his prompt question.--"Quite sure, sir,"rejoined the servant.--"Then,"rejoined the good- humoured doctor,"if he never_ bites_, how does he live?" |
25918 | was the first question;"where is my guardian angel?" |
25918 | what horse? |
25918 | what property can stand against such a depredation? |
25918 | you said the only thing this place wanted to make it perfect was deer; what do you say now? |
39975 | Had I any drawings to show? |
39975 | Pray, have you seen Mr. Audubon''s collections of birds? 39975 _ Not see Walter Scott?_"thought I;"I SHALL, if I have to crawl on all- fours for a mile!" |
39975 | A gentleman soon came to me, and asked if perchance my name was Audubon? |
39975 | Am I to lead this life long? |
39975 | And why, have I thought a thousand times, should I not have kept to that delicious mode of living? |
39975 | Are not we of America men? |
39975 | Bank Swallows in sight this moment, with the weather thick, foggy, and an east wind; where are these delicate pilgrims bound? |
39975 | Basil Hall think of a squatter''s hut in Mississippi in contrast with this? |
39975 | But this is not all,--who,_ now_, will deny the existence of the Labrador Falcon? |
39975 | But young heads are on young shoulders; it was not to be, and who cares? |
39975 | Cloud ten hours,--they told us fifty thousand(?) |
39975 | Comment va?" |
39975 | Did he forget to question the all- knowing police, or did the gentleman at the Messageries exaggerate? |
39975 | Did the ancient artists and colorists ever glaze their work? |
39975 | Do men forget, or do they not know how swiftly time moves on? |
39975 | Dost thou think I said"Yes"? |
39975 | Had not his wondrous pen penetrated my soul with the consciousness that here was a genius from God''s hand? |
39975 | Have we not the same nerves, sinews, and mental faculties which other nations possess? |
39975 | Have you seen Barons Vacher and La Brouillerie?" |
39975 | He said to me,"Why do not you write a little book telling what you have seen?" |
39975 | Here we were detained nearly an hour; how would this work in the States? |
39975 | How is it that our sages tell us our species is much improved? |
39975 | How many must the multitude of Mormons inhabiting this island destroy daily? |
39975 | I can not write at all, but if I could how could I make a_ little_ book, when I have seen enough to make a dozen_ large_ books? |
39975 | I could relate many curious anecdotes about him, but never mind them; he made out to grow rich, and what more could_ he_ wish for? |
39975 | I exclaimed,"why, who are they?" |
39975 | I had seen each individual when toasted, rise, and deliver a speech; that being the case, could I remain speechless like a fool? |
39975 | I heard the delightful song of the Ruby- crowned Wren again and again; what would I give to find the nest of this_ northern Humming- Bird_? |
39975 | I saw upwards of twelve of Harris''new Finch(?) |
39975 | I took my drawing of the Pheasant to Mr. Fanetti''s(?) |
39975 | If a boy, it was,''Well, my little man,''or a little girl,''Good morning, lassie, how are you to- day?'' |
39975 | In the evening I visited Mr. Howe, the editor of the"Courant"and then to the theatre with Mr. Bridges to see Wairner(?) |
39975 | Is it because the constant evidence of the contrast between the rich and the poor is a torment to me, or is it because of its size and crowd? |
39975 | Is it not shocking that while in England all is hospitality_ within_, all is so different_ without_? |
39975 | Is not this a curious story? |
39975 | It is both amusing and distressing to see how inimical to each other men of science are; and why are they so? |
39975 | It is dreadful to know of the want of bread here; will it not lead to the horrors of another revolution? |
39975 | It is wonderful to me; am I, or is my work, deserving of all this? |
39975 | Now is it not too bad that I can not do so, for want of talent? |
39975 | Now what will not man do to deceive his brother? |
39975 | Now, do those good gentlemen expect me to remain in Paris all my life? |
39975 | Now, my Lucy, who could have thought to make a thing like that? |
39975 | Now, my love, wouldst thou not believe me once more in the woods, hard at it? |
39975 | One of these pictures is from my sketch of an Eagle pouncing on a Lamb,[156] dost thou remember it? |
39975 | Query, is it the same which is found in Europe? |
39975 | Query: how many amongst my now long list of subscribers will continue the work throughout? |
39975 | Shall I ever again see and enjoy the vast forests in their calm purity, the beauties of America? |
39975 | The Captain wishes to write a book, and he spoke of it with as little concern as I should say,"I will draw a duck;"is it not surprising? |
39975 | The question presented was"Which was the more advantageous, the discovery of the compass, or that of the art of printing?" |
39975 | The service and sermon were long and tedious; often to myself I said,"Why is not Sydney Smith here?" |
39975 | To finish highly without destroying the general effect, or to give the general effect and care not about the finishing? |
39975 | To the great and good man himself I can never say this, therefore he can never know it, or my feelings towards him-- but if he did? |
39975 | Travelling wherever chance or circumstance may lead you? |
39975 | Very different, is it not, from looking up a large decaying tree, watching the movements of a Woodpecker? |
39975 | Was I inclined to cut my throat in foolish despair? |
39975 | Was I to repine because I had acted like an honest man? |
39975 | Was I to see my beloved Lucy and children suffer and want bread, in the abundant State of Kentucky? |
39975 | We had coffee, and the company increased rapidly; amongst them all I knew only Captain Parry, M. de Condolleot(? |
39975 | Well, is not this a long digression for thee? |
39975 | Were those talents to remain dormant under such exigencies? |
39975 | What brains he must have, and-- how long can he keep them? |
39975 | What has since taken place? |
39975 | What would I have been now if equally gifted by nature at that age? |
39975 | What would be said to a gang of Wild Turkeys,--several hundred trotting along a sand- bar of the Upper Mississippi? |
39975 | What would they say of a half- million of Robins about to take their departure for the North, making our woods fairly tremble with melodious harmony? |
39975 | When the president entered Mr. Combe said:"I have here two gentlemen of talent; will you please tell us in what their natural powers consist?" |
39975 | Where can I go now, and visit nature undisturbed? |
39975 | Where is the time gone when I was considered one of the best of players? |
39975 | Which way, pray, are you travelling? |
39975 | Whilst I looked at this mass I thought, What have_ I_ done, compared with what this man has done, and has to do? |
39975 | Who has not felt a sense of fear while trying to combine all this? |
39975 | Who would have expected such things from the woods of America?" |
39975 | Who, recalling her early married life, can wonder that she hesitated before leaving this home for the vicissitudes of an unknown city? |
39975 | Why did Mrs. Trollope not visit Halifax? |
39975 | Why do people make such errors with my simple name? |
39975 | Will the result repay the exertions? |
39975 | With her was I not always rich? |
39975 | With the exception of Mr. Harris, all were engaged by Audubon, who felt his time was short, his duties many, while the man of seventy(?) |
39975 | Yet, after all, who can say that it was not a material advantage, both to myself and to the world, that the Norway rats destroyed those drawings?" |
39975 | _ June 18._ Is it not strange I should suffer whole weeks to pass without writing down what happens to me? |
39975 | _ Why_ do I dislike London? |
39975 | and why should not mankind in general be more abstemious than mankind is? |
39975 | between us and them there existed a regular line of willows-- and who ever saw willows grow far from water? |
39975 | can not I return to America? |
39975 | canus_ as merely a straggler in North America, with the query,"accidental in Labrador?" |
39975 | how can I bear the loss of our truest friend? |
39975 | how dull I feel; how long am I to be confined in this immense jail? |
39975 | was this the way to use a man who paid you so amply and so punctually? |
39975 | what can I hope, my Lucy, for thee and for us all? |
39975 | what good work is here, but most of the painters of these beautiful pictures are no longer on this earth, and who is there to keep up their standing? |
533 | Abram Johnson, have you gone daft? |
533 | Abram Johnson,she solemnly demanded,"have you got the power?" |
533 | Abram,she asked, hesitatingly,"is there anything else I could do for-- your birds?" |
533 | An''if it had n''t a- compassed a matter o''breakin''your word, what''ud you want to kill the redbird for, anyhow? 533 An''you call yourself a decent man, Abram Johnson?" |
533 | D''you ever stop to think how full this world is o''things to love, if your heart''s jest big enough to let''em in? 533 Decent? |
533 | Decent? |
533 | Did you shoot at that redbird? |
533 | Does n''t that beat you? 533 Hit''i m?" |
533 | How d''you s''pose she''d feel if she knew there was a man here peekin''at her? 533 No? |
533 | Since you are on my premises, might I be privileged to ask if you have seen a few signs''at I have posted pertainin''to the use of a gun? |
533 | What on earth are you lookin''for? 533 ''Ud you mind tellin''me what was your idy in cookin''up that squirrel story? |
533 | Ai n''t she got a right to be lovin''and tender? |
533 | Ai n''t she got a right to pay him best she knows? |
533 | An''I look like your friend? |
533 | An''where are you, anyway?" |
533 | An''you want me to keep it up? |
533 | Are you tryin''to tell me` Howdy''? |
533 | But then you WARNED me, did n''t you, old fellow? |
533 | Come through by the special midnight flyer, did you? |
533 | Did not the gentle dove pause by the sumac, when she left brooding to take her morning dip in the dust, and gaze at him with unconcealed admiration? |
533 | Did you ever see jest quite such fine fringy willers? |
533 | Do n''t you know you ai n''t nothin''but jest a target? |
533 | Ever see anything so runnin''over with dainty, pretty, coaxin''ways? |
533 | Ever think o''that? |
533 | Feed you? |
533 | Hardly think now''at I''ve the reputation o''being a mighty quiet fellow, would you?" |
533 | Have you any to equal my grace? |
533 | Have you got a sick friend who is needin''squirrel broth?" |
533 | Have you seen any other of so great size? |
533 | How d''ye find yerself this evenin''? |
533 | How do you like it? |
533 | Is that your news?" |
533 | One night he said to his wife:"Maria, have you been noticin''the redbird of late? |
533 | Should he go there seeking a swamp mate among his kindred? |
533 | Should he, the proudest, most magnificent of cardinals, be compelled to go seeking a mate like any common bird? |
533 | So you really are a pet? |
533 | That was n''t true either? |
533 | They were unusually fine babies, but what chance has merely a fine baby in a family that possesses a prodigy? |
533 | Was it all to be wasted? |
533 | Was it of necessity to be the Limberlost then? |
533 | Was that broad full breast his? |
533 | What do you think o''that? |
533 | What matter that she took it with a snap, and plunged a quarter of a mile before eating it? |
533 | When d''you arrive? |
533 | Where had he seen any other cardinal with a crest so high it waved in the wind? |
533 | Who are you, to come''long an''wipe out his joy in life, an''our joy in him, for jest nothin''? |
533 | Who can whistle so loud, so clear, so compelling a note? |
533 | Who do you think made this world an''the things''at''s in it? |
533 | Who give you rights to go''round takin''such beauty an''joy out of the world? |
533 | Who was this flaming dashing stranger, flaunting himself in the faces of their females? |
533 | Who will come and be my mate?" |
533 | Who will fly to me for protection? |
533 | Why do n''t you keep out o''sight a little? |
533 | Wonder if he''s any willinger to feed you an''stand up for you''an I am?" |

18298 | After the nets have been withdrawn, what is it worth? |
18298 | Again, can the fact of the weir which had a wall of this bottom- ice three feet high in a single night, be accounted for by radiation? |
18298 | Again, why should the magistrates in quarter sessions( nine- tenths of whom know nothing of Salmon or Salmon rivers) choose the conservators? |
18298 | An intelligent friend of mine, now in India, says that the pod of cotton is overhung by a brown leaf( bractea? |
18298 | And if these objections really exist, then do they not equally exist in the rivers of Australia and Tasmania? |
18298 | And is not the Salmon question one of public policy? |
18298 | And why should not a man be allowed to fish with a rod and line below the weir, and as near to it as he chooses? |
18298 | Are either of these leisters? |
18298 | Are not gamekeepers as likely to need looking after as mill- owners? |
18298 | Are the parties who saw these eggs quite certain that the fish was an Eel and not a Lamprey? |
18298 | Are there any Salmon in North America, in any river( not a tributary of the St. Lawrence), south of that river? |
18298 | As the net would not take a fish of less than two pounds, how many had passed through it? |
18298 | Besides, did any one ever succeed in hatching the ova of a fish which had not been allowed to come in contact with milt after exclusion? |
18298 | Besides, what is your object? |
18298 | But how had they learnt the way? |
18298 | But would not the theory of the decomposition of carbon do quite as well? |
18298 | Can not the Royal Agricultural Society offer a premium for a short- strawed wheat of good quality? |
18298 | Can not this be prevented? |
18298 | Can you inform me what it is that causes the land to be clover- sick? |
18298 | Did you ever use woollen rags as manure? |
18298 | Do any of the rivers of China( not Chinese Tartary) contain Salmon? |
18298 | Do any of the rivers on the west coast of America below the latitude of 40 degrees N. contain Salmon? |
18298 | Do none of the great agriculturists themselves see how desirable such a wheat would be for the agriculture of this country? |
18298 | Do you mean to do away with these? |
18298 | Do you mean to prohibit the trammel, which is usually a treble and not a double net? |
18298 | Does Salmo Salar think that one ton and a tenth of Smolts go down the river Hodder to the sea on an average of years? |
18298 | Does it not directly or indirectly flow into a river or the sea? |
18298 | Does it throw any light upon the new manure for which he is said to be taking out a patent? |
18298 | Does not this include common Trout? |
18298 | Has it been observed by naturalists that spiders eat their own webs? |
18298 | Has it been tried? |
18298 | He says his pond is fifty miles from the sea;"therefore, how is it that these little Eels get no larger in their long and tedious journey? |
18298 | How could such hecks or grates be prevented from choking with leaves in the autumn and ice in the winter, thus stopping the wheels? |
18298 | How, then, are the repairs of shafting and machinery to be made? |
18298 | I mean, is the evaporation from its surface equal to the supply of water? |
18298 | I said,"John, did you never hear of a man gathering the stones off his field, and then having to lead them back again?" |
18298 | I said,"What does manuring land mean, but putting something into it of which it is deficient? |
18298 | I said,"What is your objection to it, John?" |
18298 | If it is the abstraction of something from the soil, what is that something? |
18298 | If neither a series of Scotch nets nor a single trammel is to be used, by what sort of net do you propose to catch the Salmon? |
18298 | If not, where does the surplus go to? |
18298 | If not, why not? |
18298 | If these precautions are unnecessary, why go to such expense? |
18298 | If they have, when, where, and how has this been accomplished, and where is it recorded? |
18298 | If this is doubted, I would ask how it happens that in the autumn they have fluid milt in them? |
18298 | If you are a believer in humus, what is it composed of, and how does it act in forwarding vegetation? |
18298 | If you had twenty shillings in your pocket, and I filled it up with these cobble- stones, how much poorer would you be? |
18298 | Is he sure they have taken none this season? |
18298 | Is it surprising that the upper proprietors are not satisfied with this state of things? |
18298 | Is there no escape of water from it? |
18298 | It is true we have had none this winter, but when shall we have such another? |
18298 | It is true, many Wrens''nests may be found in which there are no feathers; but did you ever find either eggs or young ones in them? |
18298 | It may be asked, Where can a short- strawed wheat of good quality be procured? |
18298 | It may be asked, who is the man who obtrudes his opinions on the colony unasked, and what can be his motives? |
18298 | It may be said, How do you know that one of the three or four varieties of Smolts which you describe further on, is not the fry of the Mort? |
18298 | Let this be applied to plants: are we to suppose that the plant assimilates all that is absorbed by its roots and leaves? |
18298 | Need we be surprised, then, if the breed decreases? |
18298 | No doubt he may have done so, but did he catch them of the thickness of a crow''s quill, and three inches long? |
18298 | Now, what takes place under such circumstances? |
18298 | Of what have I robbed this field by putting gravel into it?" |
18298 | On what subject is it? |
18298 | Or, what is the value of black fish full of spawn? |
18298 | P.S.--Am I to suppose that you have abandoned the idea of manuring an acre of wheat for thirteen shillings? |
18298 | Recurring again to the quantity of manure necessary to grow thirty- six bushels of wheat, I would ask, why limit yourself to so small a crop? |
18298 | Secondly, whether they offer a prize for the introduction of Salmon fry; and if so, what is the amount offered? |
18298 | T. says further there is also room for inquiry into another curious subject-- do Eels return to fresh water after having gone to the sea for spawning? |
18298 | Then how are the fisheries in the estuary and just above tideway to be valued? |
18298 | There is on my part no objection to this examination, but why are millowners stigmatized by being subjected to exceptional legislation? |
18298 | Thirdly, whether they offer a prize for the introduction of fertilized ova of Salmon or Trout, and what is the amount? |
18298 | True, but what are they worth? |
18298 | What did they give the upper proprietors on the Ribble and the Hodder last season? |
18298 | What do you understand by humus? |
18298 | What is this but an encouragement to do so again? |
18298 | What would become of all the spawn deposited there? |
18298 | What would they care about the matter? |
18298 | What, for instance, would the magistrates meeting at Wakefield know of the Ribble or the Hodder? |
18298 | Where are the originals of our wheat, barley, rye, beans, and peas? |
18298 | Where does the water flow to, and for what is this sill? |
18298 | Who beside Mr. Boccius ever saw Eel- fry in a pond which had no communication with a river? |
18298 | Who knows whether the_ Furia Infernalis_ is anything else than a murderous Mrs. Harris-- at all events, who has seen one, and what was it like? |
18298 | Who saw the eggs from which Mr. Boccius produced living Eels? |
18298 | Who saw the fish from which those thousands of eggs were extracted at the time this dissection was made? |
18298 | Whose authority have you for this? |
18298 | Why do you think that the water in pools is never still enough to allow it to get below 32 degrees without freezing on still clear nights? |
18298 | Will G. H. be kind enough to say whether he does not catch his about the same time? |
18298 | Will Mr. Rennie condescend to enlighten me? |
18298 | Will raising the average produce from twenty- five to fifty bushels per acre be the utmost limit to which improvement can be carried? |
18298 | Will you allow me to ask whether you ever personally saw ice at the bottom of a pond when there was none on the surface? |
18298 | Will you have the kindness to say what was the amount offered? |
18298 | Would a dissection of the Conger at various seasons throw any light on the propagation of Eels? |
18298 | Would it not be better to expressly insist upon all cruive fisheries being positively closed from sunset to sunrise? |
18298 | Would it not be better to limit your intentions to all migratory fish of the Salmon kind, to wit, Salmon, Grilse,& c.& c.? |
18298 | and if not, in what respect did it differ? |
18298 | and if so, under what circumstances? |
18298 | and if they are necessary for hares and birds, may they not be also for fish? |
18298 | and what time did they give within which they would pay for a successful attempt? |
18298 | and will he also state whether he does not catch them principally after heavy rains have increased the flow of water out of the pond? |
18298 | for as nature makes no unnecessary provisions, for what purpose is this, if not to provide for the possibility of a female Salmon coming alone? |
18298 | of the rate? |
18298 | washed down the drains by the rain, and so lost for ever? |
18298 | which did not enter into the composition of the plant? |
18298 | who were the parties who made themselves responsible for the payment? |
18298 | will he also say whether the Eels he catches are not Silver Eels? |
28019 | Do n''t you_ see_ he is? 28019 Hollow trees were good enough for our fathers; who are we that we should assume to know more than all the generations before us? |
28019 | Look at me,he says;"do I act like one on the watch for his prey? |

28019 | Who are_ you_, now? |
28019 | Who ever heard of th''Indian Peru? 28019 Why do you intrude?" |
28019 | All true enough; but do you call that a man''s biography? |
28019 | And doth he not cross the Common every day? |
28019 | And happiness, too,--is that something of which the scientific mind can render us a quite adequate description? |
28019 | And yet, who knows the heart of a bird? |
28019 | And yet, who that knows it does not love his earnest, long- drawn trill, dry and tuneless as it is? |
28019 | Are the smallest birds really the most courageous, or does an unconscious sympathy on our part inevitably give them odds in the comparison? |
28019 | Birds feeding in the street? |
28019 | But how should we like to be inventoried in such a style? |
28019 | But then came the inevitable second thought: had I really heard it? |
28019 | But then, what do we climb mountains for, if not to see something out of the common course? |
28019 | But what then? |
28019 | But who ever dreamed of calling the chipping sparrow a fine singer? |

28019 | Is it all a matter of instinct, inherited habit, or do they learn it? |
28019 | Is there any lover of birds in whose mind certain birds and certain places are not indissolubly joined? |
28019 | It is denied us to be great? |

28019 | No? |

28019 | The leaf is nothing extraordinary, perhaps, yet who knows but that the bloom may be of the rarest beauty? |
28019 | The waxwing and the vireo have the same vocal organs; why should the first do nothing but whisper, while the second is so loud and voluble? |

7353 | I caught the eye of the man nearest me and repeated the question,"Are there no badgers here?" |
7353 | I think of his lines to a butterfly: De donde alegre vienes Tan suelta y tan festiva, Las valles alegrando Veloz mariposilla? |
7353 | II DO STARLINGS PAIR FOR LIFE? |
7353 | In what, then, does its charm consist? |
7353 | What aerial chimes are those wafted from the leafy turret of every tree? |
7353 | What clear, choral songs-- so wild, so glad? |
7353 | What did this strange and terrible thing mean? |
7353 | What faint melodious murmurings that float around us, mysterious and tender as the lisping of leaves? |
7353 | What strange instruments, not made with hands, so deftly touched and soulfully breathed upon? |
7353 | What to see? |
7353 | What will he do with it? |
7353 | When shall we have symbols to express as perfectly our summer- feeling-- our dream? |
7353 | Where''s the bird got to? |
7353 | Who delights not in a bird? |
7353 | Who, for instance, would imagine that the sexes could be faithful in parasitical species like the cuckoo of Europe and the cow- birds of America? |
7353 | Why are these exquisite birds so rare, even in situations so favourable to them as the one I have described? |
7353 | Why are they always waiting, congregating as far from us as the depth of garden, lawn, or orchard will allow, yet always near as they dare to come? |
7353 | Why do they press so persistently around us; and not in London only, but in every town and village, every house and cottage in this country? |
7353 | Why? |
7353 | Will its marred harsh voice in the city street Make any heart of you glad? |
7353 | and on being answered affirmatively, exclaims,"What could they have seen in each other?" |
7353 | he exclaimed, coming to a stand,"you here to- day? |
7353 | no hall, or any place where you can meet and spend the long winter evenings? |
45369 | Can it be possible? |
45369 | Can it be that such is their function? |
45369 | A great many people, ought we to write? |
45369 | A large number also are_ carnivorous_ creatures: need we mention the spider- tribe? |
45369 | And if so, have they blood like ours? |
45369 | And is this all that we can mention about the structure of an egg? |
45369 | And so with me: God may order and arrange the great events in my life; but are not the little ones too small for Him to regard?" |
45369 | Are there then no anxious mothers concerned in the well- being of their eggs among insects also? |
45369 | But how do these indefatigable attendants ascertain precisely the moment when their aid is required? |
45369 | But how? |
45369 | But it may be asked, What of the colouring matter? |
45369 | But it may now be asked, What is a pupa, and what are the differences between it and a larva, and between it and the perfect insect? |
45369 | But it may perhaps be asked, where are its tools, and by what means does it succeed in casting up these loads of earth? |
45369 | But what then? |
45369 | But, it will be asked, how do they contrive so to keep the sides of the bag from flapping together as to prevent them from closing? |
45369 | By what hidden and mysterious power this has been effected who can tell? |
45369 | Can insects foretell the state of the weather? |
45369 | Can it be possible? |
45369 | Can it endure the penetrating tooth of frost, or the overwhelming shower of rain? |
45369 | Can we question that the merry grasshopper, chirping all day in the field, is heard by its mate? |
45369 | Does God take thought for these, and will He not much more care for and arrange well every event in the lives of his faithful children? |
45369 | From these necessary details let us turn to make the difficult, but important inquiry-- How are the wings expanded? |
45369 | How can it tell that its future progeny will eat this food, or that food? |
45369 | How can the poor blow- fly, when it leaves its eggs on our food, be certain that it is appointing a suitable place for the birth- spot of its progeny? |
45369 | How is it to disengage itself from its case, and be suspended in the air while it climbs up to take its place? |
45369 | How is it to get back to the hole at which it entered? |
45369 | How is it to reach the surface, even now? |
45369 | How is the moth to make its way through the dense mass of fibres all glued together, which walls her in on every side? |
45369 | How is this fresh difficulty to be overcome? |
45369 | How is this guarded against? |
45369 | How, then, it may be asked, does the larva acquire new hairs to take the place of the old ones? |
45369 | How, then, it may be asked? |
45369 | How, then, shall the insect know the exact place where its portal is situated? |
45369 | How, without a clue, shall it discover in its dark abode the precise circle which requires only a push to throw open its gate? |
45369 | In both cases, the_ vitality_ of the membranous or fleshy receptacle secures it from the action of the included fluid; but_ how_, who shall explain?" |
45369 | Is the egg of a spider the same in the number and nature of its parts as that of a butterfly, or the egg of a gnat as that of a beetle? |
45369 | Is there no striking and broad difference to mark the nature of the future insect? |
45369 | It may be asked, Are these all lost in the perfect insect; or are they still to be traced in it? |
45369 | Its eye, and probably ears, and means of touch, have all come before us; but where, it will be asked, is its tongue? |
45369 | Let us now ask what is the use of these singular organs of the insect? |
45369 | Need we say how it can be easily accounted for? |
45369 | Need we say these are the butterflies? |
45369 | On examining the body we see, indeed, a pair of shining horny plates on its back; but surely these are not wings? |
45369 | On watching her closely we find her busy at some self- imposed occupation; what is its nature? |
45369 | Or can it endure to be from week to week, from month to month, without a mouthful of food? |
45369 | Shall little haughty ignorance pronounce His works unwise, of which the smallest part Exceeds the narrow vision of her mind?" |
45369 | Some one perhaps will say,_ Breathe_?--do larvæ breathe? |
45369 | Surely, as we should imagine, there must be some important differences between these, otherwise why such immense differences in the perfect insect? |
45369 | Thus imperilled, what chance has the larva against foes so numerous, and in a contest so unequal? |
45369 | WHAT IS A PUPA? |
45369 | Was ever mother''s love more plainly manifested than this love? |
45369 | Were all the eggs produced by insects to be hatched and to bring forth living progeny, we may well ask what would become of mankind? |
45369 | Were they dead? |
45369 | What have either of these to do with an insect? |
45369 | What is it to do? |
45369 | What is to be done? |
45369 | What is to become of the larva? |
45369 | What should we think of a quadruped as large as a bull, whose eyes occupied great part of its head, its forehead, and the greater portion of its face? |
45369 | What, then, can this beating organ be which we behold? |
45369 | Whither, then, must we go to watch the awakening of life in the insect? |
45369 | Who has not himself performed, or been the subject of, the trick of causing a grain of barley to creep up the sleeve? |
45369 | Who would imagine that caterpillar, grub, maggot, and larva, signified one and the same stage of the life of an insect? |
45369 | Why does it not select the green surface of the leaf, or the warm corner of the window, or the bare earth, for this purpose? |
45369 | Why is this, we ask, that in all cases insects eat less when they are fully developed, than when in their infancy and youth? |
45369 | Why is this? |
45369 | Why, then, should the love- tap of an insignificant beetle have received such an interpretation? |
45369 | Yet how can this be, when the insect is under water the whole time up to its becoming a perfect moth? |
45369 | and if so, by what means? |
45369 | and, as we would also suggest, How could he ensure that the bird would not actually have eaten up the objects of his care? |
45369 | by what means do they, from being thick, soft, and moist, become thin, hard, and dry? |
45369 | could any one believe that these strange, and some of them awful looking larvæ ever became_ butterflies_? |
45369 | or does the tap of the death- tick beetle, formerly commemorated, draw forth no answering tap from its companion on the other side of the post? |
45369 | or that the cricket on the hearth sings for its fellows, or only to please_ our_ ears? |
6093 | And what is this? |
6093 | Do you know what it is to me to hear that date-- that fatal year? 6093 Have I not offered you enough? |
6093 | Oh no,I returned,"why should they? |
6093 | Oh, senor, will you not give it to me? |
6093 | Well, now, what story shall I tell you? |
6093 | What are you going to do with that cane? |
6093 | What did he mean-- how did he know? |
6093 | What do you want, then? |
6093 | Who is this black fellow, I wonder? |
6093 | Why not milk the cats? |
6093 | And I would ask myself: What does it mean? |
6093 | And the woman who did this unusual thing and in doing it unknowingly dropped a minute seed into a boy''s mind, who was she? |
6093 | And to the sad question:"How was it to be attained?" |
6093 | Besides, if he wanted small birds for any purpose, why did he try to get them by throwing pebbles at them? |
6093 | Black or brown or bay or chestnut, or what? |
6093 | But how could I climb the tree and get over the rim of the huge nest? |
6093 | But why was she glad, so innocently glad as it seemed to me, as if she had done some meritorious and no evil thing? |
6093 | Could you make a better exchange? |
6093 | Do n''t you know that they do no harm to any one, and it is wrong to hurt them?" |
6093 | Father or son-- who is it?" |
6093 | Had he never heard of Barboza, the celebrated fighter who had killed so many men in fights? |
6093 | Have not the cattle eyes to see and brains to think and remember too? |
6093 | How could I, not yet six, think otherwise than as she had told me to think, or have a doubt? |
6093 | How was this man with six wives regarded by his neighbours? |
6093 | How, he demanded, did I reconcile these ancient fabulous notions with the doctrine of evolution? |
6093 | I had heard something terrible-- too terrible to think of, incredible-- and yet-- and yet if it was not so, why had he said it? |
6093 | I pleaded still; and then, with sudden hope,"Are you going to sell it?" |
6093 | If he actually believed_ The Tin Box_ article was going to have that disastrous effect on him, who could blame him for destroying it? |
6093 | More than once during my life, when recalling that episode, I have asked myself if I did right in taking the shepherd''s advice? |
6093 | Naturally every one was astonished, and the first thought was, What will happen now? |
6093 | Nevertheless, I still ask myself:"Would it?" |
6093 | Now, how came it to be there? |
6093 | Or was it for me to do just what I wished, to shape my own destiny, as my elder brothers had done? |
6093 | Then she died, and what her loss was to me-- how can I say it?--how could you understand? |
6093 | Trigg?" |
6093 | Trigg?" |
6093 | Was it because he hated us, just because we were children and he had to teach us our lessons, and wanted to torture us? |
6093 | Was this, then, the horrible fate that awaited us all? |
6093 | Were you ever treated more generously? |
6093 | What I desire to know, said he, is, why eleven? |
6093 | What effect had Darwin produced on me? |
6093 | What explanation was possible but that of community of descent? |
6093 | What is a white mare to you-- to you, a poor man-- more than a mare of any other colour? |
6093 | What matter of tremendous importance had brought this crowd to our house? |
6093 | What shall we do without her?" |
6093 | What were these wonderful birds? |
6093 | What, then, did I want?-what did I ask to have? |
6093 | What, then, was I to do? |
6093 | Who are you?" |
6093 | Why do you say you know?" |
6093 | Why were they so tame? |
6093 | Why, I asked, were they made so much of?--- why was it said that He suffered as no man had suffered? |
6093 | Would he come? |
6093 | said I to myself, and just then he shouted to me in English,"Hullo, my boy, what are you doing here?" |
16077 | ''Anything more to say, ma''am?'' 16077 ''D''ye want to see baby et up afore yer eyes?" |
16077 | A-- whopper? |
16077 | And are they as big as Bill says? |
16077 | And did he ever get out of that deep hole? |
16077 | And does it hurt? |
16077 | And have n''t you got used to Billy''s fairy stories yet? |
16077 | And if a yellow- jacket lights on your sock and starts to crawl up under the leg of your knickers, you wo n''t stir? |
16077 | And what do you know about swordfish, then? |
16077 | And what would you do if a little, teeny, black- and- white striped skunk came at you? |
16077 | And which came_ this_ time-- her mother or the bear? |
16077 | And who ever heard of a snake''s eyes flaming? 16077 But do you suppose he really was? |
16077 | But how big are they when they''re little? |
16077 | But how did they hold on to him? |
16077 | But then, it_ is_ summer, for_ them_, is n''t it? |
16077 | But they live in the water, do n''t they? |
16077 | But what became of the snowhouse baby? |
16077 | But what became of the two Little Furry Ones after that? |
16077 | But what made the steam, Uncle Andy? |
16077 | But what would she do when the lumbermen came back? |
16077 | But what''s a barracouta? |
16077 | But why did it run at me that way? |
16077 | But why did n''t the rest of the bees follow him? 16077 But why does she carry them around with her that way?" |
16077 | But why was he called Little Silk Wing, Uncle Andy? |
16077 | But would he_ really_ have bitten me? |
16077 | But_ what_ could he know about_ cake_, Uncle Andy? |
16077 | Ca n''t you see that for yourself? |
16077 | Did he rob birds''nests? |
16077 | Did n''t it hurt her_ dreadfully_? |
16077 | Did n''t she feel_ dreadful_? |
16077 | Did you ever hear of any of the cow kind having sense enough for that? 16077 Did you know them?" |
16077 | Do you suppose a bear like that could be kept shut up long? 16077 Do_ crows_ eat_ mice_?" |
16077 | Hi, but is n''t he a whopper? |
16077 | How can I make a noise winking? |
16077 | How do you know that? |
16077 | How long''ll that be? |
16077 | Huh, what could_ he_ do to_ him_? |
16077 | I mean,he explained,"is n''t he a big one? |
16077 | If you were going to be caught out in a blizzard, would you rather be in dry clothes or in wet ones? |
16077 | Is anything the matter? |
16077 | Is it_ big_? |
16077 | No? 16077 Or from Jim Cringle?" |
16077 | So it depends on what kind of a bird, eh, what? |
16077 | Still, you know, the opinion of the prairie dogs would have been interesting, would n''t it? 16077 The_ cat_?" |
16077 | Then why are n''t they fish? |
16077 | Was he going to try a nibble at that, too? |
16077 | Was it a snake? |
16077 | Was it your mother, or a bear? |
16077 | Was that because she was so careless? |
16077 | What are the other reasons? |
16077 | What came? |
16077 | What could it have been? |
16077 | What could_ he_ do to a bear? |
16077 | What did he go and do_ that_ for? |
16077 | What do they do it for? |
16077 | What do you slide down hill for? |
16077 | What do you think it is? 16077 What does_ he_ do?" |
16077 | What else_ could_ it be? 16077 What on earth did you make those dreadful noises for?" |
16077 | What on earth''s the matter? |
16077 | What was it that drove them out of their own burrow in such a hurry? |
16077 | What was it that interrupted? |
16077 | What''s Arctic swells? |
16077 | What''s made them so awful mad, do you suppose? |
16077 | What''s that? |
16077 | What''s the matter? |
16077 | What''s_ impish_? |
16077 | Whatever has been putting swordfish into your head? |
16077 | Where did it come from? 16077 Who''d want to?" |
16077 | Who''re the Water Babies? |
16077 | Who''s_ he_? |
16077 | Why did he fall down out of the tree? |
16077 | Why do n''t you know_ that_? 16077 Why not for weasels?" |
16077 | Why so solemn all of a sudden? |
16077 | Why, do n''t you know what_ that_ is yet? |
16077 | Why, were n''t they afraid of_ her_? |
16077 | Why, what could get at them, away up there? |
16077 | Why, what_ could_ get at them in there? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Why? |
16077 | Will he bite? |
16077 | Would he run at you or Bill that way? |
16077 | You know that old rhyme about him:''How much wood would a woodchuck chuck, If a woodchuck could chuck wood? |
16077 | _ Why_ did they all fly away like that, as if they had just remembered something awfully important? 16077 _ Why_ do bats get themselves misunderstood, Uncle Andy?" |
16077 | _ Why_ were there only two young ones in the nest in the pine tree? |
16077 | ''They hain''t used yer right out here in the woods, have they? |
16077 | After a few seconds the Babe''s impatience got the better of him; and before he could stop himself he blurted out"Why?" |
16077 | And now are we going to catch some fish?" |
16077 | And now, who''s going to tell this story, you or I?" |
16077 | And then, to his horror, just as he was recording this sagacious resolution in his mind, he heard himself demanding:"But why after a rainy thaw?" |
16077 | And why did it take the whole flock that way to teach the young ones to fly? |
16077 | And why do they make fun of the stupid ones? |
16077 | And why would you like to be a wild goose? |
16077 | And why would you rather be a little tiny humming- bird than a crow? |
16077 | And-- and why are they afraid, when they are_ born_ to fly? |
16077 | But you saw for yourself how neat it was, eh?" |
16077 | But, remembering the Snowhouse Baby, he could not help inquiring:"Why did n''t she make herself a house in the snow?" |
16077 | CHAPTER XIV THE DARING OF STRIPES TERROR- TAIL"What would you do if a bear came at you, Uncle Andy?" |
16077 | CHAPTER XV DAGGER BILL AND THE WATER BABIES"What''s that?" |
16077 | Did you notice how quick it stopped? |
16077 | Do n''t you call that sly?" |
16077 | Do n''t you know what_ impish_ is?" |
16077 | Eh, what? |
16077 | Eh? |
16077 | Had he not routed all presumptuous enemies but the Boy? |
16077 | Had he not that very morning been rebuked by his uncle for asking too many of what he called"footy"questions? |
16077 | How had he ever forgotten it? |
16077 | I do n''t think Bill has ever been at all intimate with swordfish-- eh, what?" |
16077 | Is that quite clear?" |
16077 | Now, after we once get fixed, you wo n''t move a muscle, not even if two or three mosquitoes alight on you at once and begin to help themselves?" |
16077 | Now, if he''d got_ their_ opinion--""But how_ could_ he?" |
16077 | Sounds as if he was terribly amused, does n''t he? |
16077 | The Babe''s mouth opened for the natural question:"What''s capelin?" |
16077 | Then he whispered tensely--"What''s that?" |
16077 | Was it possible that Uncle Andy had merely adopted this base means of teaching him to keep still? |
16077 | Well, what was it like? |
16077 | What do you think?" |
16077 | What does it want? |
16077 | What is it, Uncle Andy?" |
16077 | What was the pain of his smarting muzzle to that ecstatic mouthful? |
16077 | What would_ they_ have a carrot for?" |
16077 | What''s that?" |
16077 | Why else, if not from some such sinister motive, had he come aboard her raft, when he had been traveling on a perfectly good tree? |
16077 | You heard that fellow fall down out of a tree, did n''t you?" |
16077 | _ Tremendous_?" |
16077 | continued the Babe, meaning to say--"But what on earth are they doing?" |
16077 | demanded Uncle Andy,"instead of simply calling for me, or Bill, to come and get you?" |
16077 | he exclaimed,"how could a cub do what a big, strong, grown- up bear could n''t manage?" |
16077 | why_ did n''t_ he stop to think?" |

38233 | ''Dear bird,''I said,''what is thy name?'' |
38233 | ...... Was ever a family so ill- assorted as the blackbird and oriole clan? |
38233 | A little boy once asked me this conundrum of his own making:"What is the difference between Martin Luther and a woodcock?" |
38233 | Because he has the good taste to like strawberries and cherries as well as we do, is he to be condemned on that account? |
38233 | But is his beauty only skin deep? |
38233 | But what had brought so able a young flyer to earth? |
38233 | But while we are watching her, what has become of the ten or a dozen little yellow balls we had almost stepped on? |
38233 | But who is clever enough to keep the crows out of the field in autumn? |
38233 | Ca n''t you see how nervous and fidgety you make me?" |
38233 | Can it be the same bird? |
38233 | Can you think of any other birds that work for him at night? |
38233 | Did you ever get lost? |
38233 | Did you ever hear a more ridiculous name? |
38233 | Did you ever know a family so puzzling and contradictory as the Warblers? |
38233 | Did you ever see it go through any of the queer motions that have earned for it so many names? |
38233 | Did you ever see the funny fellow spread his tail and dance when he goes courting? |
38233 | Did you ever see them gathering pellets of wet soil in their bills at some roadside puddle? |
38233 | Do n''t you prefer the birds when flower seeds cost only five cents a packet? |
38233 | Do n''t you think it is worth while to plant his favourites in your garden if only for the joy of seeing him about? |
38233 | Do n''t you wish all the members of the family were as adventurous as the scarlet tanager? |
38233 | Do n''t you wish every bird would introduce himself? |
38233 | Do n''t you wish you were as familiar with the map as these migrants must be? |
38233 | Do orioles generally take special delight in the music of a piano? |
38233 | Do you ever enjoy an egg for breakfast? |
38233 | Do you remember why the swifts, that sleep against the inside walls of our chimneys, do not fall down to the hearths below? |
38233 | Do you think the brown thrasher looks any more like a cuckoo than he does like a thrush? |
38233 | Does it cover, in reality, a multitude of sins? |
38233 | Does the teasing blue jay imitate the call for the fun of frightening little birds? |
38233 | Even the birds ought to have a"square deal"in free America: do n''t you think so? |
38233 | For what end is the slaughter of the innocents? |
38233 | Granted; but what about eating the farmer''s young chickens and turkeys as well as the eggs and babies of little song birds? |
38233 | How can the birds be sure they will not thrust their bills through the eyes of their blind, naked and helpless babies in so dark a hole? |
38233 | How could the seeds of many species be distributed over thousands of miles of land without their help? |
38233 | How does he do it? |
38233 | How does the grouse beat his deep, muffled, thump, thump, thumping, rolling tattoo? |
38233 | If he kills insects for us every waking hour from April to October, do n''t you think he is entitled to a little fruit in June? |
38233 | Is it any wonder that a bird so readily adaptable to all sorts of conditions should thrive like a weed and beat his way around the world? |
38233 | Is it any wonder that the baby flycatchers''hair stands on end? |
38233 | Is it any wonder that they are timid and shy? |
38233 | Is it not a shame that they can not? |
38233 | Is it not a wonder that the helpless heron babies do not tumble through the loose twigs? |
38233 | Is it not strange that such hardy parents should coddle their children so? |
38233 | Is n''t this a queer, Quakerly taste for a bird that spends half his life{ 171} in the tropics among gorgeously feathered friends? |
38233 | Is n''t this a tragic fate to overtake our joyous songsters? |
38233 | It was a pleasant shock to hear,_"Now, who are you, eh? |
38233 | Just a few differences suggested themselves, but I did not guess right the very first time; can you? |
38233 | Oh, do n''t you wish they would? |

38233 | Suppose the wicked cowbird comes back and lays still another egg in the two- storied nest: what then? |
38233 | THE BLUEBIRD Is there any sign of spring quite so welcome as the glint of the first bluebird unless it is his{ 10} softly whistled song? |
38233 | THE MOCKINGBIRD What child is there who does not know the mockingbird, caged or free? |
38233 | The little girl did n''t like to distress the birds, of course, but how could she resist the temptation to find their nest? |
38233 | The little sandpiper and I. Comrade, where wilt thou be to- night When the loosed storm breaks furiously? |
38233 | The red- head''s thrifty habit was only recently discovered: has it been only recently acquired? |
38233 | The sapsucker, the hairy and the downy woodpeckers also like beechnuts; the flicker prefers acorns; but do they store them for winter use? |
38233 | This instinct of returned direction is marvellous, is it not? |
38233 | Thou, little sandpiper, and I? |
38233 | To what warm shelter canst thou fly? |
38233 | WHITE- THROATED SPARROW_ Called also: Peabody- bird; Canada Sparrow_"What''s in a name?" |
38233 | Was ever a bird more contradictory? |
38233 | Was ever a sight so welcome? |
38233 | What do you think about protecting him by law? |
38233 | What does he find on the ground that keeps him there so much of the time? |
38233 | What is the secret of their triumphant numbers? |
38233 | What rent do the wrens pay for their little houses? |

38233 | What traits are common to every member of it? |
38233 | When you are eating ice cream, do n''t you wish your throat were as long as this heron''s? |
38233 | Where are they now? |
38233 | Where did they get so many hairs? |
38233 | Where do they get their glue? |
38233 | Who calls? |
38233 | Who first misled us by calling these birds warblers? |
38233 | Who gave them their queer name? |
38233 | Who knows whether other woodpeckers have hoarding places? |
38233 | Who that had not studied the books would recognise Mrs. Scarlet Tanager by her name? |
38233 | Whom can he be scolding so severely? |
38233 | Why are the birds so excited? |
38233 | Why do n''t they fall off? |
38233 | Why do you suppose they do it? |
38233 | Why does the cowardly cowbird always choose a victim smaller than herself? |
38233 | Why protect birds that are not fit for food and that kill no mice nor insects in the farmer''s fields? |
38233 | Why should he? |
38233 | Why? |
38233 | Why? |
38233 | Would it not be a pity for any would- be tenants to pass by your home because they could{ 34} not find a house to let? |
38233 | Would it not be cruel to touch a{ 239} nest which the outraged owners would at once desert? |
38233 | You have no need to meet him face to face in order to know him:_"You see it-- you know it-- do you hear me?--do you believe it? |

47500 | Could you call that an ordinary hunting story? 47500 Did they eat?" |
47500 | Did you give them any water to drink? |
47500 | For the Protection of Birds,is a most reasonable and tangible declaration of motive, but what next? |
47500 | How often do you feed them? 47500 Is n''t she tame?" |
47500 | What did you feed them? |
47500 | Why,he asks himself,"should certain birds have been allotted to certain gods and goddesses in the Greek and Roman mythology? |
47500 | A few were taken indoors and sheltered through the night, but''what were these among so many?'' |
47500 | A pathway? |
47500 | After all, is not this call for specialization something of a reproach to both home and school? |
47500 | And in place of the advice to kill all the birds"you can get,"what do we find? |
47500 | And now, where were those noisy little Chickadees who had been calling to us from the alder bushes for the last half- hour? |
47500 | And what bird expresses wild grandeur and poetry of motion in so great a degree as the Eagle? |
47500 | Are you wishing Jolly fishing? |
47500 | At the end of a row of your brothers''nests, as the Eave Swallows do? |
47500 | But what bird can fly so high or find so eery a resting place as to escape the''desire of the eye''of fashion? |
47500 | But why was he called Greedy? |
47500 | By reading to children? |
47500 | Color and marking of back? |
47500 | Color of head and throat? |
47500 | Color of under parts? |
47500 | Could there be something peculiar, we asked ourselves, in the_ quality_ of the first syllable, which made it carry beyond the others? |
47500 | Did you ever look into a Chippy''s nest? |
47500 | Did you feed them regularly about every hour?" |
47500 | Difference in markings of male and female? |
47500 | Do Robins raise more than one brood in a season? |
47500 | Do both carry material? |
47500 | Do n''t you think that will be nice? |
47500 | Do you hear? |
47500 | Do you know that birds are flying appetites? |
47500 | Does he bring food to her? |
47500 | Does he protect her from attack by birds or other enemies? |
47500 | Does he spend some time singing to her, as if he were trying to keep her cheerful? |
47500 | Does it trouble other birds? |
47500 | Does it utter notes indicating diverse feelings, as joy, anger? |
47500 | Does the male ever relieve his mate at this task? |
47500 | Does the male ever seem to be acting as escort or guard to his mate? |
47500 | For directing the young observer, write upon the board a scheme like this: ENGLISH SPARROW Length from tip of beak to end of tail? |
47500 | Gait upon the ground,--does it walk, hop or run? |
47500 | Have you seen and heard the Kinglet? |
47500 | He is alone, because, according to most authorities, he travels in advance of his mate; and when I ask with wonder,"Well Peter, where is Phoebe?" |
47500 | How can this best be done? |
47500 | How do they retire in the evening, and what is their conduct when they leave their night- quarters in the morning? |
47500 | How many toes? |
47500 | How shall they be taught about birds? |
47500 | I am frequently asked, after my lectures, the question:"Has your brother ever had a narrow escape from the rope nearly getting chafed in twain?" |
47500 | If so, do they use the same nest twice? |
47500 | If they raise two broods, what becomes of the first, while the mother is sitting upon the eggs for the second? |
47500 | If you could find a kind family fond of birds, do n''t you think it would be a good thing to build near them? |
47500 | If you were a bird and were going to build a nest, where would you put it? |
47500 | Is it brave? |
47500 | Is it not strange that they seem to think that this is the only place for Eaves to drink, though the lake is half a mile long? |
47500 | Is it pugnacious? |
47500 | Is it selfish? |
47500 | Is there no appeal from Fashion''s decree? |
47500 | Its situation-- sheltered or not? |
47500 | No more? |
47500 | Or would that be too much like living in a row of brick houses in the city? |
47500 | QUESTIONS ON NEST- BUILDING AND NESTING HABITS Which bird does most building, the male, or the female? |
47500 | Rare? |
47500 | The question arises: When do the old birds eat? |
47500 | The question is how can they ever find it unless they do live near a barn? |
47500 | The question is, do these birds-- and others which hoard-- really use their stores? |
47500 | Torrey?" |
47500 | Very good; science has need of you all, but do you know what scientific ornithology-- real ornithology-- is? |
47500 | What is the appearance of the nest? |
47500 | What is the color of legs and feet? |
47500 | What is the shape, color, and size of beak? |
47500 | What materials are used? |

4511 | Besides, of what is this consciousness composed, whereof we are so proud? 4511 What is the aim of their life, or its pivot? |
4511 | Whither do they tend, and what is it they do? |
4511 | And besides, are we, even in this little human parish of ours, such infallible judges of matters that pertain to the spirit? |
4511 | And further, can we tell how many of the things that we do would shock a being who might be watching us as we watch the bees? |
4511 | And if it seem more natural at first, is it not for the very simple reason that it really explains almost nothing? |
4511 | And if that be so, by whom shall this feebleness be set right? |
4511 | And if we imposed abnormal conditions upon the Panurgi, would these, in their turn, progress from a general corridor to general cells? |
4511 | And if you are not capable even of caring whether you be justly judged or not, of what value can your secret be? |
4511 | And in the case before us, which is right, in the end,--the insect, or nature? |
4511 | And who shall tell how many escape us? |
4511 | And yet may it not be that these questions are idle, and we who are putting them to you mere childish dreamers, hedged round with error and doubt? |
4511 | And yet, were we speaking of man in the manner wherein it were wise perhaps to speak of the bee, is there very much more we could say? |
4511 | Are these movements definitely, and for all time, arrested in each one of these species, and does the connecting- line exist in our imagination alone? |
4511 | But is there anything she does foresee, anything she does intend to preserve? |
4511 | But what becomes of the old sovereign? |
4511 | But who shall tell us how many others that we have not known have fallen victim to her restless and forgetful intellect? |
4511 | But why complete a picture with which all are familiar who have spent some years in the country? |
4511 | Can feebleness at times overcome that supreme reason, which we are apt to invoke when we have attained the limits of our own? |
4511 | Can you distinguish the song that blended so well with the whispering of the leaves? |
4511 | Could this quantity and quality be maintained by other means? |
4511 | Do they obey some God? |
4511 | Does a winged council debate the necessity of the departure? |
4511 | Does an analogous work on the bee exist? |
4511 | Does it only sustain and not raise? |
4511 | Does she command, or haply implore? |
4511 | Does this prodigious emotion issue from her, or is she its victim? |
4511 | Has a cloud that we can not see crept across the sky that the bees are watching; or is their intellect battling with a new regret? |
4511 | Has it not taken us thousands of years to invent a sufficiently plausible explanation for the thunderbolt? |
4511 | Have combs of foundation- wax been offered to the Meliponitae? |
4511 | How does she contrive, from among the myriad eggs her ovaries contain, to separate male from female, and lower them, at will, into the unique oviduct? |
4511 | How does this happen? |
4511 | How is it that if taken in a box to a spot two or three miles from their home, they will almost invariably succeed in finding their way back? |
4511 | How is it that one does not dig too deep, another not deep enough? |
4511 | If the mothers of the humble- bees were compelled to hibernate together, would they arrive at a mutual understanding, a mutual division of labour? |
4511 | Is it for this reason that they have lost sight of all the rest? |
4511 | Is it not possible that herein there may lie one of the perils of the human race? |
4511 | Is she hastening their departure, or trying to delay it? |
4511 | Is this so certain? |
4511 | Little city abounding in faith and mystery and hope, why do your myriad virgins consent to a task that no human slave has ever accepted? |
4511 | May this be a fortuitous music that fails to attain their inward silence? |
4511 | May we not say, too, of man that all his genius is comprised in his fashion of handling kindred necessities? |
4511 | Need we wonder if our knowledge be as scanty as our experience? |
4511 | Or is it merely an exaggerated reaction against the misfortune of the unfruitful queen? |
4511 | Reject it, and what can we set up against it, what can we put in its place? |
4511 | Shall we believe that in bees there exists the same difference of character as in men; that of them too some are gossips, and others prone to silence? |
4511 | Shall we on that account refuse to believe that these snares are pure accidents, occurring in accordance with a routine that is also incidental? |
4511 | Should we be more successful than they in preserving our presence of mind if some strange power were at every step to ensnare our reason? |
4511 | Was this mere chance, or had she followed instructions received? |
4511 | What are the bees to do when we, by force or by fraud, introduce a second queen into the city? |
4511 | What concern is it of ours whether this be a little less or a little more? |
4511 | What far- seeing fatality, taking the place of this one, do we ourselves obey? |
4511 | What is it tells the bees that at this point they must begin, and at that point stop? |
4511 | Whence do they derive the energy we ourselves never possess, whereby they break with the past as though with an enemy? |
4511 | Whence do they issue,--from the being itself, or from the force whence that being draws life? |
4511 | Whence the invariable magical coincidence between the angles of the lozenges? |
4511 | Where has this law been decreed, which, as we soon shall find, is by no means as blind and inevitable as one might believe? |
4511 | Where is the fatality here, save in the love of the race of to- day for the race of to- morrow? |
4511 | Who is it selects from the crowd those who shall go forth, and declares who shall remain? |
4511 | Who shall say where the wisdom resides that can thus balance present and future, and prefer what is not yet visible to that which already is seen? |
4511 | Why all this toil and distress, and whence comes this mighty assurance? |
4511 | Why endeavour to render too logical, or too human, the feelings of little creatures so different from ourselves? |
4511 | Why inquire as to whether this idea be conscious or not? |
4511 | Why try to depict the bees as more perfect than they are, by saying that which is not? |
4511 | Why weigh, with such infinite care, a minute fragment of almost invisible matter, as though it were a fluid whereon depended the destiny of man? |
4511 | Why will they not live as he lives? |
4511 | Would they accept them, would they make use of them, would they conform their habits to this unwonted architecture? |
4511 | Would they not risk the destruction of their species? |
4511 | { 10} What is this"spirit of the hive"--where does it reside? |
4511 | { 49} But what have we to do, some will ask, with the intelligence of the bees? |
4511 | { 62} And whom does the queen- bee obey? |
4511 | { 89}"But must we always, then,"the poet will wonder,"rejoice in regions that are loftier than the truth?" |
21948 | A cicada is three or four times as large as a wasp, is n''t it? |

21948 | And are n''t flies of any use? |
21948 | And are they all good, like the bee and the butterfly? |
21948 | And does the tree- hopper breathe the way the locust does-- through those pores on the side? |
21948 | And hunting, too? |
21948 | And now, children, what do you think? |
21948 | And what does the carpenter- bee do? |
21948 | And what else do we need? |
21948 | And what is the difference between the leaf- hoppers and the tree- hoppers? |
21948 | And, mother,asked Betty,"what does make everything so pretty?" |
21948 | Are there solitary wasps,asked Jimmie,"just as there are solitary bees?" |
21948 | Are they always pretty? |
21948 | Briers are n''t good for bare legs, are they? 21948 But are n''t the bees ever idle?" |
21948 | But do all caterpillars turn into moths or butterflies? |
21948 | But is a caterpillar an insect, and is a butterfly an insect? |
21948 | But then, after you caught it, how could you keep it, sir? |
21948 | But what kind of bee''s- nest did old Paw Bear get into? |
21948 | But, first, where do you suppose the crickets and katydids have their ears? |
21948 | Can you find their eggs? |
21948 | Can you swim this way? |
21948 | Could n''t you tell us something, sir? 21948 Could n''t? |
21948 | Dear me, where are we? 21948 Did stewed apricots, soda- biscuits, bacon, eggs, hot cakes, ever taste so good? |
21948 | Did they carry them all the way out, mother? |
21948 | Did you ever wonder how the little fat worms get inside of chestnuts and acorns? 21948 Did you leave something in the baggage- car for Max to eat?" |
21948 | Do any children here,called Ben Gile, for the third time,"know of a family nobody likes? |
21948 | Do bees always feed their children on nectar and pollen? |
21948 | Do n''t they breathe just the way we do? |
21948 | Do the birds eat katydids? |
21948 | Do you hear that? |
21948 | Do you know how it hurts to have your leg torn off, boy? 21948 Do you know of a family around here,"called the guide,"whom nobody likes?" |
21948 | Do you know what it is? |
21948 | Do you think you know where they are? 21948 Do you want to hear?" |
21948 | Does the caterpillar make the silk our dresses are made from? |
21948 | Eat one another? |
21948 | Has n''t it? 21948 Have you ever seen a big cicada which makes the long, rasping sound in the trees? |
21948 | How do they live when they are babies? |
21948 | How does it make its mouth move, sir? |
21948 | How far can you go, anyway? |
21948 | How many wings,asked Mrs. Reece,"has a fly?" |
21948 | I wonder whether any little girl here knows why flies should not be allowed in the house? |
21948 | Is n''t it? 21948 Is n''t there, my son? |
21948 | Is that what he does his beating with? |
21948 | Is that why it does n''t sing by day? |
21948 | Like the crickets? |
21948 | Listen, children, what does it say? |
21948 | Looks like a horse, does n''t it? |
21948 | Mother, what are the baddest ones? |
21948 | Mother, what''s a romance? |
21948 | Mother, what''s that word mean? |
21948 | Mother, when will it be lunch? |
21948 | Mother,said Betty, eating her second piece of chocolate cake--"mother, what will Ben Gile tell us this summer?" |
21948 | Not any more? 21948 Of course, you goose,"said Jimmie;"you do n''t expect to hatch a duck from a hen''s egg, do you?" |
21948 | Oh, mother,said Jimmie,"what does make things taste so good out- of- doors?" |
21948 | Oh,said Betty,"then it has n''t got any nose? |
21948 | Please, is it happy, then? |
21948 | Please, sir, do_ you_ eat grasshoppers? |
21948 | Please, sir, were they cousins? |
21948 | Please, sir,said Betty, coming right up to the bucket he was washing in the brook--"please, sir, do you know any stories about grasshoppers?" |
21948 | Please, sir,said Jack,"are we going to have something soon?" |
21948 | Selling them to what? |
21948 | That pretty little thing,exclaimed Betty,"with the gauzy wings?" |
21948 | That''s something like the ants, sir, is n''t it? |
21948 | Then does it live forever? |
21948 | Then how? |
21948 | Then that is what my nymph is doing,asked Jack,"when it wiggles its gills so?" |
21948 | Then, please, sir, wo n''t you tell us something else? |
21948 | Those are interesting elves I''ve been telling you about, are n''t they? |
21948 | Tired? |
21948 | Visiting- bees? |
21948 | Well, well, well,murmured the old man,"did she? |
21948 | Well, what is there about an old grasshopper, anyhow? |
21948 | Well,said the guide to Jim,"then how does it make its music, since you know?" |
21948 | What are we going to put the bugs in? |
21948 | What do you call it a worm for? |
21948 | What does Mamma Lace- Wing do with her eggs? |
21948 | What does pupate mean? |
21948 | What happens when it changes? |
21948 | What happens? |
21948 | What is it? |
21948 | What is it? |
21948 | What kind of a beetle do you suppose it was? |
21948 | What makes a fly bite? |
21948 | What makes a little fellow like this able to do so much damage? |
21948 | What makes them so big? |
21948 | What shall I do, sir? |
21948 | What was it? |
21948 | What''s that? |
21948 | What''s that? |
21948 | What''s this? |
21948 | When they hatch out, what do they look like? |
21948 | Where do mosquitoes lay eggs? |
21948 | Where is it? |
21948 | Who wants to know about a June- bug? |
21948 | Why did n''t we think of that? 21948 Why do n''t you sew on a dress for Belinda?" |
21948 | Will Mr. Burroughs hurt us? |
21948 | Yes,said Betty;"but do the workers have to work all the time?" |
21948 | You felt that? |
21948 | You mean woolly bears? |
21948 | You remember, I told you about the thousands of facets in the big eyes of the darning- needle? 21948 You''ll tell me a story, wo n''t you?" |
21948 | You''re having a good time before you can say Jack Robinson, are n''t you? |
21948 | And now, what else?" |
21948 | And we who wrote this book? |
21948 | Are all the beetles harmful?" |
21948 | Are four pans of cookies enough for five children?" |
21948 | Are n''t there any beetles that live in the water, Ben?" |
21948 | At last Jack ventured,"Was it a potato- bug, sir?" |
21948 | Betty came out from behind the tree and whispered,"You eat them_ both_?" |
21948 | But do you expect a child_ always_ to be good? |
21948 | By- and- by the guide put his head out of his cabin door and called,"How many have you?" |
21948 | Ca n''t you tell us something of the wasp? |
21948 | Did hot cakes and syrup ever make the butter fly so fast?" |
21948 | Do you know how he makes his music?" |
21948 | Do you know, children?" |
21948 | Do you remember the pansies mother had in the winter, and how they were all covered by green plant- lice? |
21948 | Do you remember what I told you about Mrs. Locust, Betty, and the way she lays her eggs?" |
21948 | Do you understand that?" |
21948 | Does n''t any one know? |
21948 | Does this seem a little bit like a sermon? |
21948 | Guess of what it was made? |
21948 | Guess what I saw lying cuddled down in many of these rooms? |
21948 | Have you ever seen the little baskets which working bees have for carrying pollen? |
21948 | How did you look?" |
21948 | Is it any wonder that these workers, who have so much to do and so many cares from morning until night, die very young? |
21948 | Is it time for supper yet?" |
21948 | It began,''Once upon a time,''did n''t it?" |
21948 | It''s one o''clock; ca n''t we have something now?" |
21948 | It''s very nice what, mother?" |
21948 | LITTLE BUSYBODIES I THE JOURNEY"It will be stories all summer, wo n''t it?" |
21948 | Mrs. Reece, what do you think?" |
21948 | No one? |
21948 | Perhaps you remember that insects have knots of nerve cells, connected by nerve threads, extending from one end of the body to the other? |
21948 | Please, sir, are they happy when they jump?" |
21948 | See here, Jack, what have you on your fingers?" |
21948 | See that damsel fly, the slender, smaller, pretty- colored darning- needle? |
21948 | See these three little leaf- shaped gills I''ve drawn?" |
21948 | Suppose some one said there was nothing to say about you except that you whistle?" |
21948 | They sat down around the fire, and Mrs. Reece continued,"Do n''t you think it would be fun to pop corn while we''re hearing about the brownies?" |
21948 | VI FISHING Have you ever started off on a bright, cool morning to fish? |
21948 | Very unlike the sweetened water in the flower- cups, is n''t it? |
21948 | Was n''t that a clever thing for a wasp to do? |
21948 | What book is it, children, that uses the''pit of destruction''so often as a figure?" |
21948 | What color?" |
21948 | What makes them bad?" |
21948 | Who is Isabella?" |
21948 | Who knows the difference between a butterfly and a moth? |
21948 | Why, see here, Pete, what have you got here?" |
21948 | Will they ever taste so good again? |
21948 | X A NAGGING FAMILY"Do you know of a family around here whom no one likes?" |
21948 | You have all seen moths and butterflies? |
21948 | You have all seen the rainbow of colors on a soap- bubble? |
21948 | You know how big a pound is, do n''t you? |
21948 | You know the old adage,''Haste makes waste''? |
21948 | You remember, do you not, that the locust has a pair of soft jaws covering over the dark, hard ones? |
21948 | [ Illustration: LEAF- CUTTER BEE]"Did you ever look closely at a bee? |
21948 | [ Illustration: Pit of the Ant- Lion]"Has it any cousins, like the locust?" |
21948 | are n''t its eyes big?" |
21948 | exclaimed the old man,"what have we here?" |
21948 | said Betty,"it does n''t use its mouth, then? |
21948 | said Jimmie,"if that is what a short- tongued bee can do, what can a long- tongued bee do?" |
21948 | she panted, catching up with them,"and what can you be doing without the victuals, I''d like to know?" |
50777 | And do you really think,said the sun,"that you, who have given life to others, have no life yourselves? |
50777 | Are we not alive? |
50777 | Are we not alive? |
50777 | Are we not alive? |
50777 | But_ may_ she not fall asleep? |
50777 | Do you envy them? |
50777 | Have you come to thaw me? |
50777 | What will the others say when they see me? |
50777 | What, only brown? |
50777 | ), its breast is white, but its throat-- oh, its throat!--what is it? |
50777 | Ah, was there ever such a sweet little gem- bird? |
50777 | And even if you can never see a living Bird of Paradise-- as I daresay you never will be able to-- what then?--what then? |
50777 | And is there any artist so great as the artist who made it, who made that bird or animal, that picture with a life inside it? |
50777 | And now, what would you say to a Black Bird of Paradise? |
50777 | Are there_ no_ feathers that can be worn in hats without its doing any harm at all-- without any bird being killed to get them? |
50777 | As softly as a snowflake falls upon snow? |
50777 | As softly as two gossamers are blown together in the air? |
50777 | As softly, then, as your mother kisses you when you are asleep, and she does not wish to wake you? |
50777 | But do you think the angels_ despise_ us? |
50777 | But does that save all the beautiful birds in the world? |
50777 | But have you not heard of a black diamond? |
50777 | But is it not curious that the"funny feathers"of_ this_ Bird of Paradise are in his head instead of in his tail? |
50777 | But is not that a funny way to love her-- to shoot her children? |
50777 | But is not that cruel? |
50777 | But is there any picture of a bird or animal, that is so beautiful or so wonderful as that bird or animal itself? |
50777 | But now is it not very strange that any bird should have a tail like that-- a tail that is shaped like Apollo''s lyre? |
50777 | But now, how are the birds to be saved-- for_ we_ want them_ all_ to escape-- and how are the women to be saved? |
50777 | But now, why do the Indians call the Humming- birds living sunbeams? |
50777 | But then, what would be the use of promising about thirteen when there are four hundred and more? |
50777 | But was it not horribly cruel? |
50777 | But why, then, are they called Birds of Paradise if they live here on the earth? |
50777 | But_ has_ he anything else-- any other kind of beauty_ besides_ what I have told you about? |
50777 | Can anything be happier than the life of a bird? |
50777 | Can you think of any other creatures that are quite so beautiful? |
50777 | Can you understand any one_ wanting_ to kill him? |
50777 | Could one think of a prettier little bird than he is-- unless one tried a good deal? |
50777 | Did I say,"Such a little fairy- bird"? |
50777 | Do they ever look at them after they have once bought them? |
50777 | Do you think it would be so_ very_ interesting for people to know how you broke a very handsome ornament in your mother''s drawing- room? |
50777 | Do you think your mother would make a promise about all the birds? |
50777 | Do you wonder at that? |
50777 | How could they dance and play about as they do, if they were? |
50777 | How did this one get those white patches, and are they really snowflakes that fell upon him? |
50777 | How would your dear mother like to be treated in such a way for being_ neat_ and_ tidy_, which I am sure she is? |
50777 | If you could, then some one would soon say to you:"Will you part with a few of your smiles? |
50777 | Is he to be killed and killed till he is gone for ever, and there is not one more beautiful Black Bird of Paradise in the whole world? |
50777 | Is it not shocking? |
50777 | Is it not terrible? |
50777 | Is there any way of explaining this, or, rather, do we know how to explain it? |
50777 | Is there anything so beautiful as they? |
50777 | It is not very wonderful that_ he_ knows nothing of them, is it? |
50777 | It is only asking, and what can be easier than to ask something of your mother? |
50777 | Now is not_ that_ a most cruel trick to play upon a bird who only wants to keep his drawing- room in proper order? |
50777 | Now what are things that you can not sell for money? |
50777 | Or the Chaffinch, or Greenfinch, or Linnet? |
50777 | Shall I tell you what such wings are like? |
50777 | So, now, what happened after the wicked little demon had behaved in this wicked way? |
50777 | That is different to being just brown like a sparrow, is it not? |
50777 | Then is he a Humming- bird at all? |
50777 | Then is there no way of saving them both, the poor birds and the poor women? |
50777 | Then the Robin with_ his_ crimson breast, and his little round ball of a body-- what bird could be prettier? |
50777 | Then which of the two are you to believe in? |
50777 | Then, when they come and find them, they kill them( could_ you_ kill a living sunbeam? |
50777 | Well, of course, there is an_ enormous_ amount of beauty and happiness at things of that kind; but is it_ all_ beauty and happiness? |
50777 | Well, then, but what is to be done? |
50777 | What beautiful bird is this that has come to dwell amongst us? |
50777 | What can it be called? |
50777 | What do the young ones do when the parent birds-- their own fathers and mothers-- have been shot? |
50777 | What two more beautiful birds could you see than they, as they hop about over the lawn of your garden in the early dewy morning? |
50777 | What would you think if you were to go out for a walk and see a bird flying about with a yellow plush or yellow velvet head? |
50777 | Where would be the beauty and the happiness now? |
50777 | Yes, and you might almost say,"Where is his head?" |
50777 | You will do this, will you not? |
50777 | _ When_ you have imagined him-- or before you have, if you are not able to-- you must make your mother promise-- now what? |
50777 | said the sunbeams;"and does nobody envy us on that account?" |
50777 | was it not? |
6052 | And how did it manage all that weaving with its beak only? |
6052 | And how does the pika survive? |
6052 | And is not that really about_ all_ that we do know? |
6052 | And then what? |
6052 | And what are we to conclude from all the foregoing? |
6052 | And what does he do to save himself, and insure the survival of the fittest? |
6052 | And who has not seen the same trait revealed in crowds of boys? |
6052 | Are they entitled to call chimpanzees, elephants, bears and dogs"lower animals?" |
6052 | But are they wise, and retiring, like the house- haunting gopher snake of the South? |
6052 | But did the grizzly cub cower and shrink? |
6052 | But does the wild jungle- fowl, the ancestor of our domestic chicken, indulge in all those noisy expressions of thought and feeling? |
6052 | But is it really free from fear? |
6052 | But what does it all matter on earth, if we keep to the straight path, and rest our faith upon the Great Unseen Power that we call God? |
6052 | But what is the case with the elephant? |
6052 | But would they accept it in a grateful spirit, and utilize it? |
6052 | By what do migrating birds guide their courses high in air on a pitch- dark night,--their busy time for flying? |
6052 | Can any animal below man be educated in the proper sense of the word? |
6052 | Can it be possible that any one of them really refuses to concede to the wild animal the possession of a mind, and a working intelligence? |
6052 | Did he go limping about over the landscape, to attract enemies from afar, and be quickly shot by a man or torn to pieces by wolves? |
6052 | Did they learn it by observing the ways of man? |
6052 | Did those little animals collect and place those joints because of their defensive stickers,--with deliberate forethought and intention? |
6052 | Do I hear any objections?" |
6052 | Do Snakes Swallow Their Young? |
6052 | Do Snakes"Charm"Birds? |
6052 | Do the big sea- lions and the walruses seek to drive away or exterminate the neighboring fur seals or the helpless hair seals? |
6052 | Do the brown bears and grizzlies of Alaska wage war upon each other, species against species? |
6052 | Do the moose and caribou of Alaska and Yukon Territory attack the mountain sheep and goats? |
6052 | Do they"think,"or"reason,"any more than the animals I have named? |
6052 | Do they, too, know about the mariner''s Southern Cross, and steer by it on starlit nights? |
6052 | Does any species of giraffe, zebra, antelope or buffalo attack any other species on the same crowded plains of British East Africa? |
6052 | Does the Indian elephant attack the gaur, the sambar, the axis deer or the muntjac? |
6052 | From many a palace there stands forth the perpetual question:"_ Why_ did he do it?" |
6052 | Has the dog learned from man the science of moral banditry, the best methods for the concealment of evidence, and how to dissemble? |
6052 | How do they know where to go, far into the heart of the South, to find rest, food and security? |
6052 | How long would it take a man to unravel that nest, wisp by wisp, and resolve it into a loose pile of materials? |
6052 | IV.--THE BASER PASSIONS XXII FEAR AS A RULING PASSION If we were asked,"Which one may be called the ruling passion of the wild animal?" |
6052 | If man possesses a soul of lofty stature, why not a soul of lowly stature for the chimpanzee? |
6052 | If the trainer does not know which are the brightest species of apes, baboons and monkeys, then who does? |
6052 | If there were not some kind of a hypnotic spell cast over the bird, would it not fly away? |
6052 | In one case it appears to mean"How do you do?" |
6052 | Instead of bowling away for two or three miles and getting clear out of the danger zone and hiding in the nearest timber, what do they do? |
6052 | Is it because you bear a charmed life? |
6052 | Is it not wonderful-- the mentality of the gray rabbit? |
6052 | Is it not wonderful? |
6052 | Is it the duty of the American people to stop all performances by animals? |
6052 | Is it true that captive animals in zoological parks and gardens are miserable and unhappy, and that all such institutions should be"abolished?" |
6052 | Is it true that in making animals perform on the stage, or in the circus ring, their rights are wickedly infringed? |
6052 | Is it true that trained wild animals are cruelly abused in the training, or in compelling them to perform? |
6052 | Is it wicked to make wild animals, or cats and dogs,_ work_ for a living, as men and women do? |
6052 | Is there anyone left who still believes the ancient and bizarre legend that mountain sheep rams jump off cliffs and alight upon their horns? |
6052 | Now, has he anything"on"the performing bear? |
6052 | Now, have those primitive creatures"immortal souls?" |
6052 | Now, is it not a wonder that_ any_ rabbits remain alive in Pennsylvania? |
6052 | Now, what is the truth of this matter? |
6052 | Now, what were the ideas and emotions of the bear? |
6052 | Now, why did not all the bears of North America share the fate of the lions and the tigers? |
6052 | Now_ what_ did it all mean?" |
6052 | Often is the question asked,"If a grizzly bear and a tiger should fight, which would whip the other?" |
6052 | Or did it come by heredity, just like walking? |
6052 | Perhaps the answer is-- instinct; but if so, how was it acquired? |
6052 | Said the Count to Julia in"The Hunchback,""Dost thou like the picture, dearest?" |
6052 | Some deer have far too much curiosity, too much desire to know"What is that?" |
6052 | The most serious question has been: What shall be left out? |
6052 | The only real question is: how far does their intelligence carry them? |
6052 | To the question,"Have wild animals souls?" |
6052 | To what else shall they be attributed than philosophic reasoning on the part of the elephant? |
6052 | Twice in my life all my traps and poisons have utterly failed, and left me faintly asking:_ Are_ rats possessed of occult powers? |
6052 | Uncountable pages of controversial letters have been expended upon the question:"Does the puma ever scream, like a woman in distress?" |
6052 | Very often the question is asked:"Is the African elephant equal in intelligence and training capacity to the Indian species?" |
6052 | Was it strategy? |
6052 | Was it the result of quail thought and reason? |
6052 | What animal will go farthest in daring and defying man, even the man with a gun, in foraging for food? |
6052 | What animals are the best exponents of animal intelligence? |
6052 | What are a thousand deer eyes compared with a twelve inch horn thrust through your stomach? |
6052 | What are you going to do next?" |
6052 | What did a wild buffalo do when he found himself with a broken leg, and unable to travel, but otherwise sound? |
6052 | What is the unsolved mystery of your tiny existence in this rough and cruel world?" |
6052 | What is truth? |
6052 | What will it do? |
6052 | When and where do they stop on the way to feed? |
6052 | When the lion found himself caught, did his capture trouble him? |
6052 | Who can say? |
6052 | Who gave to any warm- blooded animal that consumes food and requires shelter the right to live without work? |
6052 | Who has not seen squirrels at play? |
6052 | Who taught the oriole how to find and to weave those rare and hard- to- find materials? |
6052 | Why are those powerful and dangerous apes afraid of that absurd toy? |
6052 | Why experiment with stupid and nerveless white rats when pack rats are so cheap? |
6052 | Why is it that the golden plover feels that it is worth while to fly from the arctic coast to Argentina? |
6052 | Will we ever succeed in outwitting her, and in getting one of her babies alive into a baby incubator? |
6052 | and"What is it all about?" |
39206 | ''But how''ll they eat us up, Mr. Beasley? 39206 ''Hoppers is coming boy; see that sort o''shiny thin cloud up there jest off the edge o''the sun? |
39206 | Ah- um, real? 39206 And did my mother starve to death too?" |
39206 | And have only one day to live when I''m all grown up? |
39206 | And the little brown ants do all this so as to get honey- dew from the aphids? |
39206 | And will they ever evade Kansas again? |
39206 | Are they trying to bite her? |
39206 | But have the hoppers come back any time since 1876? |
39206 | But we''ve got to relieve the gloom of this tale someway, do n''t you think? 39206 But what are you going to do with the rake?" |
39206 | But what made them come to Kansas? 39206 But where is she then? |
39206 | But why should he shed his skin? 39206 But why,"asked Mary,"does Argiope wrap the fly up so carefully in silk? |
39206 | But you want to know the end of it Mary, do n''t you? 39206 But, then, why did n''t they stay there, where there were corn- fields and wheatfields and vegetables?" |
39206 | But_ what_ can I see to- morrow? |
39206 | Did n''t the book say that? |
39206 | Do n''t any of the poor May- flies live for more than one evening? |
39206 | Do the little black and blue wasps hunt the little spiders and the larger ones the big spiders? |
39206 | Do you know Professor Forbes? 39206 Does the mother lay the eggs in these little white cushions and then go away and leave them?" |
39206 | Fall in where? 39206 Further query: Does Argiope distinguish bees_ with stings_ from bees with_ stings extracted_? |
39206 | How can she run about on the sticky web without getting caught, too? |
39206 | How did they come from Australia? |
39206 | It_ is_ wonderful, is n''t it, Mary? 39206 Not all beautiful things in the world are good, are they?" |
39206 | Now, Mary, what was it you asked? |
39206 | Of course you know, Mary, that the web is made of two kinds of silk or rather two kinds of lines? 39206 Query: Does Argiope distinguish bees from flies? |
39206 | The new skin they have just got, with the wings and everything? |
39206 | Then what weapon shall I carry? |
39206 | Well,says Mary,"even if she wants him for her children to eat, it''s a real vendetta, is n''t it?" |
39206 | What can I see right away; to- morrow? |
39206 | What can I_ see_? |
39206 | What is that? |
39206 | What to do? 39206 Where did the little Thousand Islands May- flies come from, and why do the people there want to know about them?" |
39206 | Where did the red beetles come from? |
39206 | Where is its home? 39206 Where, Mary, do you think is the likeliest place for the dragon?" |
39206 | Why should he shed his old skin and get a new one? 39206 Why the animated honey- jars; did n''t I say what? |
39206 | Why, Mary, where did you learn that? |
39206 | Why, how absurd,replied the winged Orange- dweller,"do n''t you see I have nothing to eat with? |
39206 | With luncheon in? |
39206 | Yes, I see,said Mary, demurely, and-- can it be that Mary is slightly winking one eye? |
39206 | Yes, but were n''t you surprised that first time you saw them in the Sentinel year? |
39206 | ''Who are coming, Mr. Beasley? |
39206 | 2, and hence needing no attention? |
39206 | And an undaunted worker? |
39206 | And so I am trying to introduce a little jocularity into it, do n''t you see, Mary?" |
39206 | Are they dead? |
39206 | Because we think that other animals can not do what would be a very simple thing indeed for us? |
39206 | Bless me, what''s the use of going to Europe anyway, if you learn everything about everywhere in the grades? |
39206 | But how is this extraordinary condition brought about? |
39206 | But is a truthful man to be kept silent by criticism or abuse, or, on the other hand, is he to surrender, even for cash, to bad examples? |
39206 | But is that what those boys over there are doing? |
39206 | But one must live, and why not ant- lions as well as ants? |
39206 | But what of Eurypelma, the killer? |
39206 | But whence comes this sublime instinct? |
39206 | But where is Mary in all this digression of mine? |
39206 | But why should the loopers be only paralyzed instead of killed? |
39206 | But, no, it was an_ Aphænogaster_ that--"A feeno- gasser?" |
39206 | Can theories of atavism, of selection, of the struggle for life, interpret it reasonably?" |
39206 | Did you really guess it, or not guess it, but actually reason it out for yourself? |
39206 | Do n''t you call that clever, Mary?" |
39206 | Do n''t you?" |
39206 | Do they commit Baedeker to memory nowadays in the schools? |
39206 | Do you have any wasp in your neighborhood of the ferocity and strength and size of Pepsis? |
39206 | Do you know a handsomer? |
39206 | Do you want to hear about it?" |
39206 | Does it build a house out of wood? |
39206 | Does it seem wonderful to you? |
39206 | Does one stab suffice for such a giant caterpillar? |
39206 | Especially will it do so when the prey is small and weak? |
39206 | Get me out of what?" |
39206 | Has n''t he any skin now?" |
39206 | Have they come to settle and stay in Kansas and Nebraska and Iowa? |
39206 | Have you ever heard any one tell about this? |
39206 | How is that, Mary?" |
39206 | How long will they keep up this devastation? |
39206 | How would you like to be a May- fly?" |
39206 | I ask,"and shall I begin?" |
39206 | I go on, more slowly, but still without very much hesitation:"But, of course, we sha''n''t do that, shall we?" |
39206 | Is it memory which traces their aerial way across regions seen for the first time? |
39206 | Is that the way you lecture to your classes?" |
39206 | Is the new one different; a different color or shape or something?" |
39206 | Is this not a creature of wits, this Kansas wasp? |
39206 | It will be fine, wo n''t it?" |
39206 | It''s much more beautiful and interesting there than in Kansas, is n''t it?" |
39206 | It_ is_ catching, is n''t it? |
39206 | No? |
39206 | Oh, you did n''t know?" |
39206 | One morning a man stood among the trees and said,''Confound these bugs; they''ll ruin me; what shall I do?'' |
39206 | Or are you of those who have prejudices, and hold all spiders to be ugly, hateful things? |
39206 | Or would n''t they simply dig their way with their heavy jaws out of the hole and away? |
39206 | Or, indeed, could the slender- bodied mother wasp carry and handle successfully a strong squirming looper over an inch long? |
39206 | See?" |
39206 | Sha''n''t we go and see them?" |
39206 | So how could he live at all without a skin? |
39206 | Suddenly Mary called out:"Why, what has happened to Fuzzy? |
39206 | That is n''t exactly building, but it is at least a kind of carpentering, a sort of--""Is this one?" |
39206 | That seems quite certain, does n''t it? |
39206 | Then she said softly,"But how will he get anything to eat?" |
39206 | Then, what to do? |
39206 | Was it well with him? |
39206 | Was there any queen left in our hive? |
39206 | We do seem to have trouble keeping to Fuzzy and her life, do n''t we? |
39206 | Were Mary and I excited? |
39206 | What are the worms for? |
39206 | What are they? |
39206 | What determines which queen shall leave the hive with the swarm? |
39206 | What is it you take of her? |
39206 | What will the country do in the future for corn and wheat and pigs and fat cattle? |
39206 | What, then, shall the hungering baby aphids and their foster- mothers, the little brown ants, do? |
39206 | Who could be coming from the sun to eat us up? |
39206 | Why did n''t they stay in the Rocky Mountains? |
39206 | Why not just kill it by biting, and then leave it in the web until she wants it?" |
39206 | Why should n''t a dragon change his skin if a snake can? |
39206 | Why? |
39206 | Will she bring more? |
39206 | Will she fill the hole full of worms? |
39206 | Yes, before my little Orange- dweller children are born--""What,"cried Citrinus,"are you an Orange- dweller; you, who are so different from me?" |
39206 | You know what a wonderfully beautiful lake Lucerne is, of course, Mary?" |
39206 | You remember, do n''t you, Mary, how our dragons of Lagunita would snap up the young May- flies in Monday Pond? |
39206 | [ Illustration: A SUMMER INVASION] A SUMMER INVASION"Are you comfortable, Mary?" |
39206 | and beat on the table as I say this until the pens and paper hop, and Mary asks,"No what?" |
39206 | said Mary;"and were there horrible people in the bottom, and crows?" |

1887 | ''Has she finished her web? |
1887 | After this cannibal orgy, does the Lycosa go back home? |
1887 | All things considered, is not this charming edifice an animal fruit, a germ- casket, a capsule to be compared with that of the plants? |
1887 | And have we not the tarentella, a lively and nimble dance, bequeathed to us perhaps by the healing art of the Calabrian peasant? |
1887 | And how? |
1887 | And what does she do in there, under her arch of withered flowers and silk? |
1887 | And what does this cosy mass protect? |
1887 | And what? |
1887 | Are we face to face with a similar process? |
1887 | Are we to recognize a mere effect of organic structure in the Epeira''s art? |
1887 | As the technical name tells the reader nothing, how shall he be informed? |
1887 | Besides, is it really a corpse that the Epeira wants, she who feeds on blood much more than on flesh? |
1887 | But is that all? |
1887 | But on what? |
1887 | But the little things are at the mercy of the winds: where will they alight? |
1887 | But what shall we say of the Cricket, who is exposed to a thousand mishaps when away from home? |
1887 | But where? |
1887 | But why drag in''Clotho''? |
1887 | By what miracle is there room for such a family? |
1887 | Can dissymetry, that source of contrasts, be a general rule? |
1887 | Can he be unscathed, in spite of the sort of kiss which I saw given to him just now? |
1887 | Can it be that they derive sustenance from the silken wrapper? |
1887 | Can it be to protect themselves from the too- vivid light? |
1887 | Can it then be a premeditated design on the part of the Epeira? |
1887 | Can she be more clear- sighted than the Lycosa? |
1887 | Can something unusual be afoot? |
1887 | Can the animal be deceived by the soft contact of the cork? |
1887 | Can the expression_ onustus_ refer simply to her slow and sidelong walk? |
1887 | Can there be calculation, measurement of angles, gauging of the parallel by means of the eye or otherwise? |
1887 | Can this other mother have so great a need as that to eat? |
1887 | Did I guess aright when I judged that it was a fatty substance that preserved the Epeira from the snares of her sticky Catherine- wheel? |
1887 | Do they eat their house? |
1887 | Does it contain gleams that contrive, wishes that pursue a definite object? |
1887 | Does she come to their assistance and help them to regain their place on her back? |
1887 | Does she give up hunting during this period, of bright sunlight? |
1887 | Does she invite them to the banquet when she has secured a prize? |
1887 | Does she work imperturbably? |
1887 | Does the Epeira know the secret of fatty substances? |
1887 | Does the Lycosa at least feed the younglings who, for seven months, swarm upon her back? |
1887 | Does the Spider kill the patient with a view to avoiding unseasonable jerks, protests so disagreeable at dinner- time? |
1887 | Does the Spider possess the counterpart of this habit of clear thinking? |
1887 | Does the mother give them a thought? |
1887 | For what reason? |
1887 | Has she caught a Moth?'' |
1887 | How comes it that the Tarantula always has the upper hand and this moreover in a very short conflict, whence she emerges unscathed? |
1887 | How do they know? |
1887 | How do those thousands of legs manage to grow without straining themselves? |
1887 | How does she make her exits and her entrances? |
1887 | How does she obtain, at will, skeins of diverse hues and grades? |
1887 | How does she turn them out, first in this fashion, then in that? |
1887 | How does the Epeira come to succeed with her difficult problem, so strangely managed? |
1887 | How does the Spider direct an establishment of this kind? |
1887 | How does the bird proceed, in order to knit its stocking? |
1887 | How has he, in his distant corner, heard of the presence of the nymph ripe for marriage? |
1887 | How is she apprised? |
1887 | How is the silky matter moulded into a capillary tube? |
1887 | How is this brought about? |
1887 | How is this tube filled with glue and tightly twisted? |
1887 | How will they set to work to achieve this distant exodus, weaklings that they are, taking such very tiny steps? |
1887 | How will this living fruit, ripening in the heat beloved of the Cicadae, manage to burst? |
1887 | How, above all, will dissemination take place? |
1887 | How, with such simple implements as its beak and claws, does it manage to produce a fabric which our skilled fingers would fail to achieve? |
1887 | If I persuaded them to bite me, what would happen to me? |
1887 | If some giddy- pate allow himself to be caught, will the Spider, at the distance whereto she has retired, be unable to take advantage of the windfall? |
1887 | If we would carve an epitaph of some duration, what could we find better than a Beetle''s wing- case, a Snail''s shell or a Spider''s web? |
1887 | In case of such a disaster, would the Spider go back to the sandy stalactites, as a ready means of restoring stability? |
1887 | Instead of that, what do we find? |
1887 | Is disordered the word? |
1887 | Is it a dream, or the anticipation of a remote reality? |
1887 | Is it a mere dream in the night of the intricate, an abstract riddle flung out for our understanding to browse upon? |
1887 | Is it an animal, a fluff of wool, a cluster of small seeds fastened to one another? |
1887 | Is it the whim of a nomenclator, at a loss for words to denote the ever- swelling tide of beasts that require cataloguing? |
1887 | Is that all she can do? |
1887 | Is the animal, on its side, right- handed, left- handed, or unbiased? |
1887 | Is this the right moment? |
1887 | Is what I have just seen due to accident or to premeditation? |
1887 | Must we take these queer things seriously or laugh at them? |
1887 | Now what do the youngsters do, while their mother is being eaten? |
1887 | Now what does she do in her softly- wadded home? |
1887 | Now what does the Epeira do in the face of this disaster? |
1887 | Once more, with what do the little ones keep up their strength? |
1887 | One would say so; but does the Spider know how to patch her work, as a thrifty housewife darns her linen? |
1887 | Or are there neutrals, endowed with equal powers of skill and energy on both sides? |
1887 | Or does she need undisturbed quiet? |
1887 | Running the risk of being eaten alive, will he venture to plunge into his lady''s cave, into a lair whence flight would be impossible? |
1887 | Shall he go closer? |
1887 | Shall not hunger, which brings the wolf from the wood, also bring the Tarantula out of her hole? |
1887 | The question at once presents itself: Does the Spider possibly recognize her fabric by certain trademarks and distinguish it from that of her fellows? |
1887 | Then by what mechanism is the delivery effected? |
1887 | Then how comes it that, of the five mothers reared in my cages, not one has had recourse to the clay rampart? |
1887 | Then where are the digging- implements? |
1887 | Then where is the entrance? |
1887 | Then why should she collect those prizes, whose slimy flesh is probably not to her taste? |
1887 | Then with what are they sustained, during their seven months''upbringing on the mother''s back? |
1887 | To what shall we attribute the heat expended upon action, when the animal takes absolutely no nourishment? |
1887 | Up to what point are we to generalize? |
1887 | Well, what can this gem among Spiders do? |
1887 | Well, what has the Spider done to keep the gossamer stretched, to steady it and to make it retain its greatest capacity? |
1887 | What am I to do? |
1887 | What are the methods, what the wiles of atom contending with atom? |
1887 | What are they doing there, so quietly? |
1887 | What becomes of them when they have a fall? |
1887 | What bird- catcher could vie with the Garden Spider in the art of laying lime- snares? |
1887 | What can the Clotho do with a_ Pupa cinerea_, a_ Pupa quadridens_ and other narrow spirals wherein the animal retreats to an inaccessible depth? |
1887 | What do the little ones eat, on the maternal spine? |
1887 | What guides her? |
1887 | What has happened? |
1887 | What infinitely tiny Midges does she capture before possessing the strength to stab her Bee? |
1887 | What is it that she really wants? |
1887 | What is the object of this circular motion? |
1887 | What is the purpose of this turret? |
1887 | What is the withered thing waiting for, before expiring? |
1887 | What is this point? |
1887 | What is this? |
1887 | What reason can we allege for this neglect? |
1887 | What will happen if I procure her the visit of a Banded Epeira? |
1887 | What will posterity do in face of the rising tide of a barbarous vocabulary which, under the pretence of progress, stifles real knowledge? |
1887 | What will the Spiders do, when thus put to the test of the unknown? |
1887 | What will the homeless Spider do? |
1887 | What will the spider do in the presence of this grievous rent? |
1887 | What would happen if matters, instead of being brought about by my wiles, took place in the open fields? |
1887 | What would happen if one robbed an old dwelling, long since completed, of its outer covering? |
1887 | What would happen if the two belonged to the same species? |
1887 | When and how is the burrow obtained wherein the Lycosa, once a vagrant, now a stay- at- home, is to spend the remainder of her long life? |
1887 | When calm is restored, she resumes her attitude, ceaselessly pondering the harsh problem of life:''Shall I dine to- day, or not?'' |
1887 | When will this sublime metamorphosis be accomplished? |
1887 | Where are the eggs? |
1887 | Where could she store enough fuel to keep up mobility during so long a period? |
1887 | Where did the murderess strike her? |
1887 | Where do these glairy creatures pick up this science? |
1887 | Where is she to place the pockets of eggs, if the ruins of the previous laying remain in the way? |
1887 | Where shall I find again the wonderful spectacle which the Cross Spider offered me by chance? |
1887 | Where shall we find in the Penduline''s mattress aught to vie with the Epeira''s eiderdown, that teazled russet gossamer? |
1887 | Where will it be effected? |
1887 | Where would it stow the necessary reserves for such an amount of work? |
1887 | Which of the two bandits shall have the best of it? |
1887 | Who contrived this window, which was not there at first? |
1887 | Who shall tell us all the wiles employed by this clever and daring huntress? |
1887 | Why at a distance? |
1887 | Why not live on sun, seeing that, after all, we find naught but sun in the fruits which we consume? |
1887 | Why not? |
1887 | Why should I not to- day imitate that expert butcher, the Tarantula? |
1887 | Why should not physical science step in as well? |
1887 | Why should so many admirable lives be sacrificed to the greater prosperity of brigandage? |
1887 | Why should there be workers to feed idlers, why sweated to keep sweaters in luxury? |
1887 | Why these rambles? |
1887 | Why, moreover, does this line always start in the centre of the sticky network and nowhere else? |
1887 | Why? |
1887 | Why? |
1887 | Why? |
1887 | Why? |
1887 | Why? |
1887 | Will it never be given to us to probe reality in a simpler fashion? |
1887 | Will our intelligence be able one day to dispense with the heavy arsenal of formulae? |
1887 | Will the Spider be able to know the one that belongs to her? |
1887 | Will the Spider dare? |
1887 | Will they be accepted, if supplied by my stratagems? |
1887 | Will this vigilance frighten off the Ichneumon and other lovers of omelettes? |
1887 | Would it not be simpler to restore the old web, which might serve many times yet, if a few rents were just repaired? |
1887 | Would we make her acquaintance? |
1887 | Would we see this might triumphant in all its beauty? |
1887 | Would you care to bring her to the light of day from the depths of her well? |
1887 | Would you care to see the trap at work? |
1887 | { 24} Does the mother, feeling the brood quicken inside the satin wrapper, herself break open the vessel at the opportune moment? |
42414 | And the true horse, where did he arise? 42414 Another sort of barnacle,"you say you have found? |
42414 | Gluttonis rather an odd name for this creature, is n''t it? |
42414 | Is it any wonder, then, that decent men came to rebel against this savage slaughter? 42414 So having traveled over America, Europe, and Asia, was my quest ended? |
42414 | Then these little beetles are very mischievous? |
42414 | Was n''t it clever of them? 42414 Where have they all come from? |
42414 | Ah!--did you notice how that minnow turned and fairly flew as he felt a touch of one of those waving petals? |
42414 | And will not the deer hear the sound and take the alarm? |
42414 | And would you like to know why it is that the spider does not stick to the web as the flies do? |
42414 | Are n''t the canary- like form and black wings familiar? |
42414 | BARNACLES You would hardly think that barnacles were crustaceans, would you? |
42414 | But crabs and lobsters grow? |
42414 | But do you know how it swims? |
42414 | But do you see between those green fronds that roundish yellow object about as big as a filbert? |
42414 | But how do they manage to remain out of the water for so long? |
42414 | But how is it that all those tufts of seaweed are growing on the upper part of the shell? |
42414 | But the female narwhals require food just as much as the males do; how is it that they are not provided with tusks also? |
42414 | But what embroidered on the glistening snow- sheet this lovely chain that extends wavily from this tree to that stone wall? |
42414 | But what is the curious little creature clinging flat upon this rock among the weeds? |
42414 | But what is the difference between crocodiles and alligators? |
42414 | But, you say, you have heard of"hard- shell"and"soft- shell"crabs, and want to know the difference? |
42414 | CHAPTER II BABOONS How can we tell a baboon from an ape? |
42414 | Can you tell when and where they lay their eggs? |
42414 | Did you ever see a more beautiful creature? |
42414 | Did you know this was one of the distinctive marks of a butterfly? |
42414 | Did you see tiny jets of water squirt out of two little nozzles on its surface? |
42414 | Do n''t you know what happens if you lay a heavy weight, such as a big paving- stone, on the ground? |
42414 | Do n''t you think it would be interesting and delightful to study these exquisite creatures? |
42414 | Do you hear that continual popping under your feet? |
42414 | Do you know them? |
42414 | Do you know what causes them? |
42414 | Do you not know them? |
42414 | Do you not see that large brown tuft, quivering and moving like a chrysanthemum each petal of which was alive? |
42414 | Do you notice the delicious beeswax- like odor in the air? |
42414 | Do you remember how the diana monkey holds its beard with one hand while drinking, so as to keep it from touching the water? |
42414 | Do you see ahead of us those little jets of water come spouting up into the air as if squirted out of tiny syringes? |
42414 | Do you see how long his great claws are, and how his back is covered all over with tiny hooked spines? |
42414 | Do you see that bunch of long, twisted tubes, which seem to be fastened to one of those big stones? |
42414 | Do you see that double row of holes punched in the snow? |
42414 | Do you see that each one is closed, just a little way below the entrance, by a kind of scarlet stopper? |
42414 | Do you see that he holds it stretched out behind him, and keeps on turning it slightly first to one side and then to the other? |
42414 | Do you see that it is covered all over with little pimples? |
42414 | Do you see that scratch in the mud? |
42414 | Do you see that small olive- green bird sitting very erect on that fence- post? |
42414 | Do you see that there is a little hole in the top of the shell, which is made of several pieces? |
42414 | Do you see those twisted little coils of muddy sand scattered about on the mud? |
42414 | Do you see those two little round objects on short stems sticking half an inch out of the sand by that old winkle- shell? |
42414 | Do you see what great teeth it has? |
42414 | Do you see? |
42414 | Do you see? |
42414 | Do you think it is dull and dingy now? |
42414 | FRIEND OR FOE? |
42414 | HOW THEY ARE KEPT WARM But if the seal is a hot- blooded animal, how can it remain in the sea for days together without being chilled? |
42414 | Have n''t you noticed how often the leaves of rose- bushes are chipped round the edges, quite large pieces being frequently cut away? |
42414 | Have n''t you noticed how silent a cat''s tread is? |
42414 | Have n''t you noticed when a cat has licked your hand how very dry and rough her tongue feels? |
42414 | Have you ever noticed how wonderfully it is suited for a life which is almost entirely spent under the ground? |
42414 | Have you ever wondered why we so seldom find a dead mouse or a dead bird, although these creatures must die in thousands every day? |
42414 | Have you noticed among the May flowers how many are yellow? |
42414 | He does n''t look very blue, nor very appetizing, does he? |
42414 | How about the moles and the skunks? |
42414 | How do the insects make their noise-- for one can hardly call it singing? |
42414 | How do these creatures hop? |
42414 | How do you think it got out of the egg when the time came for it to be hatched? |
42414 | How does it find the worms and grubs? |
42414 | How is it that all the trees, bushes, and plants are covered with threads of spider''s silk, which often annoys us by getting on our hands or faces? |
42414 | How is this? |
42414 | How is this? |
42414 | How many eggs do you think an oil- beetle will lay? |
42414 | Is he not quite sure to brush up against a branch as he does so, causing the leaves to rustle? |
42414 | Is it a manly or an admirable thing? |
42414 | Is it not pleasanter to think of watching such innocent creatures, looking out for their own safety, than to think of hunting and killing them? |
42414 | Is n''t that a remarkable way of curing indigestion? |
42414 | Is n''t that exactly like monkeys? |
42414 | It does not look much like purple dye, does it? |
42414 | It is an egg, but you never would have suspected it, would you? |
42414 | It looks as if it were growing out of the rock, does n''t it? |
42414 | It looks like some sort of pill- bug half an inch long, does n''t it? |
42414 | It seems impossible, does n''t it? |
42414 | It would seem strange to earn one''s living just by picking up money on the sea- shore, would n''t it? |
42414 | Now what is the use of this singular weapon? |
42414 | Only three squirrels were found in this burrow; so that they were in no danger of starving during the winter, were they? |
42414 | That is an odd way of feeding, is n''t it? |
42414 | That is rather a big meal to take, is n''t it? |
42414 | That seems impossible, does n''t it? |
42414 | That seems impossible, does n''t it? |
42414 | That sounds rather strange, does n''t it? |
42414 | The air is filled with the droning and humming of other insects; how are these sounds produced? |
42414 | The bit of timber is certainly ruined-- but what has happened to it? |
42414 | Then what do you think the stranger does? |
42414 | They must be very stupid creatures, must n''t they? |
42414 | What are scallops? |
42414 | What do they find to eat? |
42414 | What do you think it feeds upon? |
42414 | What has become of the birds? |
42414 | What have you found now? |
42414 | What is it like? |
42414 | What is that greenish- gray object covered all over with spikes? |
42414 | What is that red squirrel doing under the chestnut- tree by the side of the lane? |
42414 | What possible justification in art or common sense is there in setting a dead animal on a hat? |
42414 | What will it do when it comes to a stone? |
42414 | What will it do when it comes to rock? |
42414 | Where is he aiming? |
42414 | Where shall we look for the= first= ancestors of these wild and graceful animals? |
42414 | Why does n''t the mud close in behind the animal? |
42414 | Why has so much of the bark fallen away from the wood? |
42414 | Why is it called the"diana"monkey? |
42414 | Why should they applaud useless slaughter, dictated by vanity and blood- lust, in the men over whom they have influence? |
42414 | Would you like to know why it is that flies stick to the web as soon as they touch it? |
42414 | Would you like to know why? |
42414 | Would you like to see a little of this dye? |
42414 | Yes? |
42414 | You have found"something pretty,"you say? |
42414 | You know what a millepede or thousand- legs looks like when it rolls itself up, do n''t you? |
42414 | You would say they were goldfinches if they were more yellow, would n''t you? |
42414 | You would think that a herd of elephants would be very conspicuous even in the thick forest, would n''t you? |
42414 | You would think that an animal, colored like the zebra would be very easily seen, even by night, would n''t you? |
42414 | You would think that as they are so constantly in use, these teeth would quickly be worn down to the gums, would n''t you? |
42414 | You would think that giraffes would be very easily seen, even in the forest, would n''t you? |
42414 | You would think that it would get badly stung by the bees, would n''t you, when it tore their nests open and robbed them of their sweet stores? |
42414 | You would think that the dogs would be very jealous of them, would n''t you, and that they would be very much afraid of the dogs? |
42414 | _ Why is it_ that American men and boys kill them so eagerly?... |
42414 | did you notice that it moved one of its rays? |
42414 | did you see the swoop of that gray shadow from the bulrushes? |
42414 | do you hear that sharp tapping? |
42414 | do you see how its arms at once come closing in? |
42414 | do you see? |
42414 | is it alive? |
42414 | some sort of crab, buried in the sand? |
42414 | you ca n''t, eh? |
42871 | ''No possum''? 42871 Am I going to have an invite, Uncle Jeth?" |
42871 | Calamity? 42871 Did you say you would n''t put any price on Calamity, Uncle Jethro?" |
42871 | Do n''t you sniff the''simmons, Uncle Jeth? |
42871 | Do you want to know how to shoot a skunk on your kitchen steps and never know it twenty- four hours after? |
42871 | Going to roast this possum, are n''t you? |
42871 | Is it Br''er Possum or Br''er Coon, Uncle Jethro? |
42871 | W''at dat owl say? |
42871 | W''at dat yo''mumblin'', boy? 42871 W''at yo''''xplodin''my cogitations lak dat fo''? |
42871 | What are you doing that for, Uncle Jeth? |
42871 | What fo''? 42871 What is it that makes the_ dreadful_ noise?" |
42871 | Where did Bobolink disport himself before there were meadows in the North and rice- fields in the South? 42871 Yhear dat? |
42871 | ''no possum''? |
42871 | ''no possum''? |
42871 | A BUZZARDS''BANQUET Is there anything ugly out of doors? |
42871 | A hammock for a winter bed? |
42871 | Ai n''t I done tol''yo''dat dog gwine talk possum by- um- bit? |
42871 | And if he hates, what need has he of words-- with such a countenance? |
42871 | And this fearless unconcern? |
42871 | And what could wake him? |
42871 | And what one of the birds will not? |
42871 | And what softest foot can fall without waking the woods? |
42871 | And what tender emotion has a buzzard too subtle for expression by a croak or hiss? |
42871 | And whence came their parents, and whither went they? |
42871 | And who can say he does not prosper-- that he does not roll in fat? |
42871 | As far as my observation goes, the supreme question with him is, Can this thing be swallowed? |
42871 | But does she always couple beauty with her utility? |
42871 | But need one''s love for things English include this pestiferous sparrow? |
42871 | But no deeper mystery, for--"dead,"did I call these stumps? |
42871 | But was n''t it beautifully done? |
42871 | But what about them during the dark? |
42871 | But what is a wood- pussy? |
42871 | But what was she calling us for? |
42871 | Can the ardent, sympathetic lover of nature ever find her unlovely? |
42871 | Dare he return to us in spring? |
42871 | Did they detect an odor miles away and follow the scent hither? |
42871 | Did you ever try to follow this path to its beginning or end, wondering who traveled it? |
42871 | Dispute the authority of a skunk? |
42871 | Do we more than barely endure them? |
42871 | Do we not take the deepest impressions when the plates of these sharpened senses are exposed in the dark? |
42871 | Do we shiver at them? |
42871 | Do you think they''ll walk up and toe that mark, while you knock''em over with a stick?" |
42871 | Does any one believe that exhibition to be an explosion of pure song-- the exaltation of unmixed joy? |
42871 | Does this winter- long sleep seem to him only as a nap overnight? |
42871 | For did not their motive justify the deed? |
42871 | Gwine ax yo''self a''invite? |
42871 | Had I gone daft so suddenly? |
42871 | Has anybody observed the feat? |
42871 | He rolls in fat; and how long has obesity been the peculiar accompaniment of nervousness? |
42871 | How could our imaginations, with a bent for superstition, fail to work upon a creature so often heard, so rarely seen, of habits so dark and uncanny? |
42871 | How did the bird from that altitude discover so tiny a thing? |
42871 | How did they find their way to this wet spot over the hills and across the acres of this wide pasture? |
42871 | How does it taste? |
42871 | How long before Columbus, and Leif, son of Eric? |
42871 | How we gwine yhear w''at dat dog say?" |
42871 | How would the casuist decide for so sweet, so big, so heroic a deception-- or the attempt? |
42871 | How, again, shall I explain this bit of observation? |
42871 | If it tried, say, the tanager''s, would we believe and accept it? |
42871 | If these were the fragments only, what would be a conservative estimate of the night''s entire catch? |
42871 | Is he listening to the chorus of the crickets, to the whippoorwills, or is it for supper he is planning? |
42871 | Is it astonishing that, when finished, they looked like a growth of the limb, like part and parcel of the very tree? |
42871 | Is it curiosity to see what goes on? |
42871 | Is it mere stupidity? |
42871 | Is there anything on record in the way of audacity better than that? |
42871 | Is there anything snug and warm about a hammock? |
42871 | Is there some safety here from enemies worse than boys and cats and dogs? |
42871 | Is this an epileptic, an unstrung, flighty creature? |
42871 | Is this nervousness? |
42871 | Long before the sun- baked mud began to crack these young ones had gone-- where? |
42871 | Meantime where and how do they live? |
42871 | Most things are curious, ai n''t they?" |
42871 | Or is it now instinctive? |
42871 | Or is it that these birds take this chance for human fellowship? |
42871 | Or who can keep his flesh from creeping when an owl bobs over him in the silence against a full moon? |
42871 | Possum, boy? |
42871 | Possum? |
42871 | Sell C''lamity? |
42871 | Shall the crows and cherry- birds be exterminated? |
42871 | Shall we measure all the out- of- doors by the linnet''s song, the cardinal- flower''s flame, and the hay- field''s odor? |
42871 | Still, why not raise skunks? |
42871 | Such thoughts as, What is it? |
42871 | Suppose they hunted only two evening hours a day? |
42871 | The cars drive High- hole away? |
42871 | The chickadees were never friendlier; and when, since last autumn, have so many flocks of goldfinches glittered along our paths? |
42871 | The lark that broke from the snow at my feet as I crossed the pasture this afternoon-- What comes o''thee? |
42871 | The possum was one of the first to find us, and when did he land, I wonder? |
42871 | They are more easily kept than pigs or pigeons; they multiply rapidly; their pelts make good(?) |
42871 | They go somewhere from the dew and cold; but where? |
42871 | W''at I done tol''yo''''bout dis? |
42871 | W''at I know''bout any possum? |

42871 | Was he the same lithe, merry- hearted beau then as now?" |
42871 | Was it a summons from--? |
42871 | Was it an ancient tortoise in the garden? |
42871 | Waves of herring, did I say? |
42871 | We see them sprinkled over the snow everywhere; but when have we seen the feet that left them? |
42871 | Whar wilt thou cow''r thy chittering wing, An''close thy e''e? |
42871 | What I take yo''possumin''des dozen winters fo'', en yo''dunno how to sight a gun in de moon yit? |
42871 | What about the snakes and frogs? |
42871 | What did it signify-- these squawking, scolding, garrulous birds suddenly gone silent and trustful? |
42871 | What does he think about? |
42871 | What four boys in the same time could clear the meadows of half that number? |
42871 | What other bird can take his place and fill his mission in the heavy, hopeful days of March? |
42871 | What other bird lines his nest with snake- skins? |
42871 | What then? |
42871 | What would the coons, the turkey- buzzards, and the owls do without them? |
42871 | What, indeed, looks less lovely, less nimble and buoyant, more chained to the earth, than a toad? |
42871 | What, then, is it-- stupidity or insolence? |
42871 | When on wing, where else, between the point of a beak and the tips of a tail, are there so many marvelous curves, such beautiful balance of parts? |
42871 | When will they return? |
42871 | When, in the highest noon, did every leaf, every breeze, seem so much a self, so full of ready life? |
42871 | Where are any to match them for curious, crazy coloring? |
42871 | Where did they all come from? |
42871 | Where do the birds sleep such nights as this? |
42871 | Where do they pass the long winter nights? |
42871 | Where do they spend their night? |
42871 | Where in this bitter cold, this darkness and storm, will they make their beds? |
42871 | Who can get used to the bats flitting and squeaking about him in the dusk? |
42871 | Who ever had a good look at a muskrat in the glare of day? |
42871 | Who has ever heard any noise from untamed animals at play? |
42871 | Who knows? |
42871 | Why do the wood- birds so persistently build their nests along the paths and roads? |
42871 | Why give the wide sea surface to the petrels, and screw the sea- urchins into the rocks on Grand Manan? |
42871 | Why leave an entire forest of green, live pines for a lonesome crow hermitage, and convert the rottenest old stump into a submerged- tenth tenement? |
42871 | Why should she be so lavish of interstellar space, and crowd a drop of stagnant water so? |
42871 | Why, did n''t you tell her to go home?" |
42871 | Will it digest? |
42871 | Will some one please explain? |
42871 | Will they get out? |
42871 | Yes; here I sit,--a man on a fence across the field,--and the lark turns toward me and calls out:"Did you see me?" |
42871 | You can take no vacation in the mountains? |
42871 | [ Illustration] Has anything been written about our swift showing as faithful and sympathetic observation as that? |
42871 | a brood of birds in the chimney? |

42871 | or hangs such gruesome things out for latch- strings? |

42871 | the owls and hawks put behind bars? |

42871 | the sparrows transported? |

23434 | Examine the large eyes; where are they found? |
23434 | From their point of view what difference does it make if they tear off most of the legs and break the wings? |

23434 | Have you ever seen a dull colored fly, which inhabits dry paths and which flies with a humming sound like a bee, feeding on grasshoppers? |

55097 | I see it, but what of it? |
55097 | Is that song French? |
55097 | It''s beautiful,said Winnie;"but where are you going?" |
55097 | More food, Bunny? |

55097 | One bite-- a snap behind-- and then where are you? |
55097 | Prudent? |
55097 | Run? |

55097 | Shall_ I_ come too? |
55097 | Should one run? |

55097 | THAT? |
55097 | The French Frog? |
55097 | The Rat? |

55097 | Viola? |

55097 | Where did you see him last? |
55097 | Where''s that? |
55097 | Who are you? |
55097 | Who are_ We_? |
55097 | Whoever ran from Badger but a rabbit? 55097 Why does it come in this get- up? |
55097 | Why is he called Admiral? |
55097 | Why lying in the open? |
55097 | Why not? |
55097 | Why should a toad fear me? 55097 Why, how is that?" |
55097 | Will this do? |
55097 | Would you mind asking him to come up? |
55097 | You can smell them if you go slow enough,said the Harvest Mouse,"but when do_ you_ go slow? |
55097 | You can smell them, ca n''t you? |
55097 | _ That?_said he,"that''s not French." |
55097 | _ We?_said the Stoat. |
55097 | _ You?_sneered the Fox Cub. |
55097 | ''Why, Sir, d''ye think I''ve lost my eyes?'' |
55097 | *****"Slept well, Bunny?" |
55097 | An æon hence-- who knows? |
55097 | And how many of you can tell me the number of different kinds of tadpoles which one can find in England in the springtime? |
55097 | And how would we act if our lives depended on not being caught? |
55097 | At length the Natterjack found words:"Can you tell me,"he said, politely,"where the French Frog has got to?" |
55097 | But how to get there? |
55097 | But if he crept along close to the water? |
55097 | But there is always a something, is n''t there? |
55097 | But where are you going?" |
55097 | Ca n''t you play more softly?" |
55097 | Could the expectant ring of mice be deaf? |
55097 | Do n''t you agree with me?" |
55097 | Do you really mean to tell me that you have never met any of them? |
55097 | Had he been bitten? |
55097 | Had he not sung against the wood- pecker, yaffle for yaffle, note for note? |
55097 | Had his eye seen? |
55097 | Had his nose smelt? |
55097 | Have you ever fancied a butterfly paint- box? |
55097 | Hungry, Bunny? |
55097 | I hear you ask at once,"What animal was it?" |
55097 | I wonder how many of you know these lines? |
55097 | I wonder how many of you know which is the_ largest_ of our British animals? |
55097 | Is there no one else who can drum?" |
55097 | It is not a pretty beginning, is it? |
55097 | It sounds rather horrible, does n''t it? |
55097 | Now how would we ourselves act, if our lives depended on catching things? |
55097 | Now what is the chief enemy of a fly? |
55097 | Should she be silenced? |
55097 | So for a mad five minutes; at last he got his answer, suave tones across the intervening grass:"Have I seen what?" |
55097 | Suppose we wanted a blue? |
55097 | That is a dreadful name, is n''t it? |
55097 | The grubs might be replaced in time-- what of her precious egg? |
55097 | The last sounds the nicest, does n''t it? |
55097 | Then why so frightened?" |
55097 | Think you can scratch him out?" |
55097 | This sounds queer, does n''t it? |
55097 | What do you play?" |
55097 | What do you think that is? |
55097 | What is the meaning of it?" |
55097 | What of the eggs? |
55097 | What''s to be done with you? |
55097 | Where has it left its furs?" |
55097 | Where was his tail? |
55097 | Why should he stand on ceremony with four fat, squirmy, wrinkled, hairless infants? |
55097 | Why should n''t he? |
55097 | You ask and ask with reason: How came two fire- toads in an English garden? |
55097 | You remember the eyes as big as tea- cups in"The Little Tin Soldier"? |
55097 | [ Illustration: AND IN DUE COURSE OF TIME, HIS WIFE] What happened next? |
55097 | [ Illustration: HIS LITTLE EYES WERE STARTING FROM THEIR SOCKETS AS HE SAT UP ENTRANCED]"Are you quite prudent?" |
55097 | [ Illustration: THE CRICKET WAS SITTING ON THE HEARTHSTONE WATCHING THE PEOPLE IN THE FIRE GOING TO CHURCH]"Forget who?" |
55097 | [ Illustration: THE HARVEST MOUSE DREW HERSELF UP INDIGNANT]"Did you find it?" |
55097 | [ Illustration: THE NATTERJACK SLOUCHED LOW INTO THE PRESENCE]"Of me?" |
55097 | [ Illustration: THE WATER SHREWMOUSE, WHO IS NEARLY HALF AS BIG AGAIN AS THE COMMON SHREWMOUSE] What does the great Blue Whale eat, you ask? |
55097 | [ Illustration:"AND PERHAPS YOU WILL BE GOOD ENOUGH TO GET HIGHER UP THE TREE, WHILE I COME UNDERNEATH"]"Polecats?" |
55097 | [ Illustration:"HAVE YOU SEEN THIS TRICK BEFORE?" |
55097 | [ Illustration]"How''s that?" |
55097 | [ Illustration]"_ Squirrel is living up to us?_"It was a cough and splutter from above and Stoat and Cub peered upwards. |
55097 | _ Wo n''t_ you now?" |
55097 | and what nice- minded English frog would listen to_ your_ love- song?" |
55097 | said the King Toad;"frightened of what?" |
55097 | she said;"the French Frog? |
55097 | what''s that?" |
2884 | ''And do you know the road they took?'' |
2884 | ''And me?'' |
2884 | ''And the Egyptians?'' |
2884 | ''Is it dead? |
2884 | ''That''s the Red Sea, right enough; but where are the Israelites?'' |
2884 | ''Then mimesis...?'' |
2884 | A smell? |
2884 | Above all, does it already contain an egg? |
2884 | Ah, fond illusions, what has come of you? |
2884 | All things considered, is ignoble the right epithet to apply to parasitism? |
2884 | And now a momentous question arises: is the egg really laid each time that the probe enters a cell? |
2884 | And, even if it does resist, will not the grubs, sheltered by too thin a wall, have to suffer from excess of heat in summer and of cold in winter? |
2884 | Are the line followed and the places visited engraved on her memory from the first? |
2884 | Are they able to change their line of conduct when faced with an emergency? |
2884 | Are they able to connect a''because''with a''why''and afterwards to regulate their behaviour accordingly? |
2884 | Are they thrown out of their latitude by this stratagem, are or they not? |
2884 | Are we so very sure that parasitic habits come from a love of inaction? |
2884 | Before calling upon it to speak, why should I not say what I have on my mind? |
2884 | Besides, while the cup was still empty, did she not instantly close the hole which I had made? |
2884 | But am I convinced? |
2884 | But does this concatenation of ideas, rudimentary though it be, really take place within the insect''s brain? |
2884 | But in what, if you please, does Parnopes carnea resemble the Bembex into whose home she penetrates in her presence? |
2884 | But then is it not a task of the utmost difficulty to introduce a hair into the thickness of a stone? |
2884 | But what insect was it that Erasmus Darwin saw? |
2884 | But why do first one out of two and then two out of five fail to join their fellows? |
2884 | Can it be that the lofty position of the edifice and the shaky support of the twig arouse distrust in the Dioxys and other malefactors? |
2884 | Can my appliance have thwarted the guiding influence of the terrestrial currents on her nervous system? |
2884 | Can one believe that odoriferous emanations diffused along the route are going to last for several days? |
2884 | Can the Mason- bees have lost their way in the maze of the forest? |
2884 | Can the bird, wonderful architect that it is, compare its work with that masterpiece of higher geometry, the edifice of the Bee? |
2884 | Can there be ill- conditioned characters among her, characters that delight in a neighbour''s ruin? |
2884 | Can they overcome this opposing current and cleave the aerial torrent with their wings? |
2884 | Can we say as much of the Chrysis or the Mutilla? |
2884 | Could not those inquisitive filaments, which seem to guide the insect when hunting, also guide it when travelling? |
2884 | Could our own memory always vie with hers? |
2884 | Did he have a bad time on the journey? |
2884 | Did memory, the memory of the stomach that once digested them? |
2884 | Did the parasite become what he is because he found it excellent to do nothing? |
2884 | Disappeared how? |
2884 | Do some eight grubs represent the Bee''s whole family? |
2884 | Do they perceive a sound? |
2884 | Do we possess a similar faculty? |
2884 | Does not the fact that this sense has not been handed down to us point to a flaw in the pedigree? |
2884 | Does that end the list? |
2884 | Does the Amazon require repeated journeys in order to learn her geography, or is a single expedition enough for her? |
2884 | Does the actual insect remember that childhood''s meal? |
2884 | For mercy''s sake, can not they show us transformations in the act? |
2884 | Had I not dug up a dead body, only a few days before? |
2884 | Had the Bee the least glimmer of reason would she lay her egg on the third, on the tenth part of the necessary provender? |
2884 | Had there been trouble with the carrier when he was caught? |
2884 | Has it faculties akin to ours, has it the power of thought? |
2884 | Has it no enemies? |
2884 | Have they succeeded? |
2884 | How could I do otherwise, not having the original text in front of me? |
2884 | How could I suspect that an entomologist of Lacordaire''s standing should be capable of such a blunder as to substitute a Sphex for a Common Wasp? |
2884 | How does the Bee know when the proper quantity is reached? |
2884 | How is it apprised whether the part below is empty or full? |
2884 | How will the Amazon behave when the locality is unknown to her? |
2884 | How will they escape from that labyrinth, where, in the early days, I needed a compass to find my way? |
2884 | How?'' |
2884 | However hard the cement may be, can it possibly resist all these agents of destruction? |
2884 | I was going in, was n''t I, with a splitting headache? |
2884 | If the former returns after being whirled, why should not the latter? |
2884 | If this swinging- process fails entirely when its object is to make the insect lose its bearings, what influence can it have upon the Cat? |
2884 | In what does it resemble ours? |
2884 | In what does the Melecta resemble the Anthophora, who stands aside on her threshold to let her pass? |
2884 | In what respect do the Mutilla, the Chrysis, the Leucopsis, the Anthrax and so many others differ, in their way of living, from the Scolia? |
2884 | In which is the heap of paste on which she had begun? |
2884 | Indifferent to mimicry, is he the less skilful Beetle- hunter on that account, is his race degenerating? |
2884 | Is it a tithe for her personal maintenance, or a sample tested for the benefit of her coming grub? |
2884 | Is it exercised by means of a special organ? |
2884 | Is it from weariness, from a distaste for work after a period of fierce activity? |
2884 | Is it here or somewhere else that the coveted larva lies? |
2884 | Is it really my Spider? |
2884 | Is it sight? |
2884 | Is it the vice of indolence? |
2884 | Is it through lack of intelligence that the Bee allows her honey to go to waste? |
2884 | Is repose so great an advantage to him that he abjured his ancient customs in order to obtain it? |
2884 | Is that all? |
2884 | Is that rapid glance enough to provide an exact recollection? |
2884 | Is the Osmia discreet enough not to put upon the good- natured Mason and to utilize only abandoned passages and waste cells? |
2884 | Is the insect capable of this? |
2884 | Is the method of whirling the animal round in a bag, to prevent its return, worthy of confidence? |
2884 | Is there a difference in the faculty that guides them over unknown ground? |
2884 | Is this unknown sense localized in a particular part of the Wasp and the Bee? |
2884 | Marked it? |
2884 | May it not rather be through helplessness? |
2884 | Mildewed honey, dust and rubbish, a shrivelled larva, or a larva in good condition? |
2884 | Must the facts of the past and the facts of the future necessarily exclude the facts of the present? |
2884 | Must we attribute this result to the difficulties to be overcome? |
2884 | Never have my eyes beheld the like; and then is it really the egg of the Leucopsis? |
2884 | No matter: was not my splendid income supposed to cover everything, food for the mind as well as food for the body? |
2884 | Novices, did I say? |
2884 | Now that the thread has reached its goal, what does the cell contain? |
2884 | Now what did she do before she took to parasitism? |
2884 | Of course it has: which of us, animals and men, has not? |
2884 | Of what prowess must not the mother be capable to determine the exact spot at which it lies and to lay her egg on its side or at least close by? |
2884 | Or does she afterwards go and establish a more numerous progeny on other boulders? |
2884 | Or does she take possession of the home of which the real owners could themselves have made use? |
2884 | Or is it not rather a difference in flying- power? |
2884 | Or was her distress merely the result of an unwonted harness? |
2884 | Shall we say then that reason directs it? |
2884 | She finds the stranger in the nest:''What''s this? |
2884 | Surprise on the part of the Pompilus, who goes forward and then suddenly steps back with a start:''Is it alive?'' |
2884 | Surprised at the statement, I interposed:''By what signs do you know her?'' |
2884 | The Stelis does something of the kind; but who would think of proclaiming a relationship between the Chalicodoma and her? |
2884 | The mandibles are pickaxes suitable for breaking through hard mortar: are they also scissors capable of cutting a thin membrane? |
2884 | Then how did my exiles return? |
2884 | Then how many ages does it take to form a parasite? |
2884 | Then what do those puzzling organs perceive? |
2884 | Then what guides her when she makes her estimate with such precision? |
2884 | Then what is the purpose of the Leucopsis''invisible implements? |
2884 | Then what value has this dissection as an argument in favour of the insect''s reasoning- powers when the wind blows? |
2884 | Then where is its seat? |
2884 | Then where is she? |
2884 | Then why does she not place the pellet on the rim of the cell? |
2884 | Thus endowed, will she be capable of meting out the future''s larva''s portion? |
2884 | To return to this memory for places whose tenacity and fidelity I have just recognized: to what degree does it consent to retain impressions? |
2884 | To which evidence shall we lend an ear? |
2884 | To which of them will the inheritance of the old nest revert? |
2884 | To which will the Pompilus go? |
2884 | Was it really necessary in the Dioxys''interest? |
2884 | Was it really the magnetic influence that disturbed my Bee so strangely? |
2884 | We are incapable of knowing ourselves; what will it be if we try to fathom the intellect of others? |
2884 | Well, does this superior, this privileged being reason? |
2884 | What about a dissolving fluid which would soften the mortar under the point of the ovipositor? |
2884 | What became of them? |
2884 | What becomes of the Mason''s egg confined in the same cell with the egg of the Dioxys? |
2884 | What better proof could be wished of the irresistible propensity which the insect obeys? |
2884 | What can be the function of those organs? |
2884 | What can that be? |
2884 | What cares she that the home is not deserted? |
2884 | What could the mystery be? |
2884 | What did they do with their spoil? |
2884 | What does it all mean? |
2884 | What does she covet for her offspring: the honey- cupboard, the stores of game, the larvae in their transformation- sleep? |
2884 | What guided them? |
2884 | What guides them on these long journeys? |
2884 | What have we done, we and the insects, to be ground with sovran indifference under the mill- stone of such wretchedness? |
2884 | What interest can anything have for us that does not fill our stomachs? |

38208 | You think it is he who steals the eggs? |
38208 | You will ask what the change of government had to do with my beasts? |

38208 | and----?'' |
38208 | did you actually say that?'' |
38208 | do you hear that?'' |
38208 | do you think Pritchard has a bad opinion of me?'' |
38208 | exclaimed Fan,''is this how my orders are obeyed? |
38208 | he has made friends with his rival in the affections of Mademoiselle Desgarcins?'' |
38208 | he roared to Double Mouth,''what are you about, standing there? |
38208 | my fault? |
38208 | not the worst?'' |
38208 | said I,''Portugo has n''t barked yet, has he?'' |
38208 | what are you about?'' |
38208 | where is he off to now?'' |
38208 | where is the beast?'' |
38208 | who has stolen them?'' |
38208 | why, is its chest delicate?'' |
38208 | yes-- but oh, so frightened!--and what made him smart so dreadfully? |
38208 | you do n''t know_ that_, gentlemen?'' |
38208 | you do n''t see a rabbit sitting? |
30249 | Surely,said a woman to me,"when a cat sits watching at a mouse- hole, she has some image in her mind of the mouse in its hole?" |
30249 | A red squirrel will chip up green apples and pears for the seeds at the core: can he know, on general principles, that these fruits contain seeds? |
30249 | Am I guilty, then, as has been charged, of preferring the deductive method of reasoning to the more modern and more scientific inductive method? |
30249 | Because man, then, is half animal, shall we say that the animal is half man? |
30249 | Behold the tumble- bug with her ball of dung by the roadside; where is she going with it? |
30249 | Bring it to the hermit for his breakfast? |
30249 | But I shall have more to say upon this point in another chapter, entitled"What do Animals Know?" |
30249 | But do you suppose the fond creature ever comes to know why you do not want his feet upon you? |
30249 | But how did they know of the destruction of their young, and how can we account for their concerted action? |
30249 | But if the two hawks look alike, would not the birds come to regard them both as bird- eaters, since one of them does eat birds? |
30249 | But if we mean by interpretation an answer to the inquiry,"What does this scene or incident suggest to you? |
30249 | But would she not root if she had no pigs, and would not the pigs root if they had no mother? |
30249 | Can it meet new conditions? |
30249 | Can it solve a new problem? |
30249 | Can we believe that the hermit crab thinks and reasons? |
30249 | Can we find any other word for his act? |
30249 | Could any person who knows the birds credit such a tale? |
30249 | DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT? |
30249 | Did it reflect and say, Now is the time for me to bend down and thrust my tip into the ground? |
30249 | Did its parent not try to teach it? |
30249 | Did not its act imply something more than instinct? |
30249 | Did she hear it gnawing the roots of the grasses, or did she see a movement in the turf beneath which the grub was at work? |
30249 | Did she make up her mind? |
30249 | Did she think, compare, weigh? |
30249 | Did the drouth destroy all their eggs and young, and did they know this and so come back to try again? |
30249 | Did the raspberry bush think, or choose what it should do? |
30249 | Did the wife tell him, or the husband? |
30249 | Did they receive any parental instruction? |
30249 | Do they know winter is coming? |
30249 | Do we draw the right inference? |
30249 | Do we get at the true meaning of the facts? |
30249 | Do we mean the communication of knowledge, or the communication of emotion? |
30249 | Do you think the germs from the first knot knew where to find the other plum trees? |
30249 | Does he ring true? |
30249 | Does he see out of the back of his head?--that is, does he see on more than one side of a thing? |
30249 | Does it ever take to the fields and woods, and live on fruit and land- insects, and nest in trees like other thrushes? |
30249 | Does man know his proper food in the same way? |
30249 | Does not even an old trout know more about hooks than a young one? |
30249 | Does not man wink, and dodge, and sneeze, and laugh, and cry, and blush, and fall in love, and do many other things without thought or will? |
30249 | Does not solitude bring out a man''s peculiarities and differentiate him from others? |
30249 | Does not some clue to them reach his senses? |
30249 | Flying and walking are both modes of locomotion, and yet may we not fairly say they differ in kind? |
30249 | Has a cat ever been known to bait a rat with a piece of cheese? |
30249 | Has he not been struck by the thought,"I do not know which way my master is going: I will wait and see"? |
30249 | How could a crow tell his fellows of some future event, or of some experience of the day? |
30249 | How could a fox or a wolf instruct its young in such matters as traps? |
30249 | How could an animal know that a man will protect it on special occasions, when ordinarily it has exactly the opposite feeling? |
30249 | How could he tell him this thing is dangerous, this is harmless, save by his actions in the presence of those things? |
30249 | How could she make so fine and far- seeing a judgment, wholly out of the range of brute affairs, and so purely philosophical and humanly ethical? |
30249 | How could the bird obtain this knowledge? |
30249 | How could the bird with its beak tear out a broad piece of paper? |
30249 | How could the crow gain the knowledge or the experience which this trick implies? |
30249 | How could the mare have known her companion was blind? |
30249 | How could they do it? |
30249 | How did she acquire all this knowledge? |
30249 | How did she know where to drill? |
30249 | How did they know we had had a beech- nut year? |
30249 | How does every individual come to share in the common purpose? |
30249 | How does he know which is the thinnest side? |
30249 | How else shall one explain their second appearance in the marshes? |
30249 | How it arose, what its genesis was, who can tell? |
30249 | How should it know that there are such things as crabs? |
30249 | How should it know that they can be taken with bait and line or by fishing for them? |
30249 | How would the mother duck get her young up out of that well and down to the ground? |
30249 | I am quite positive that mice will try to pull one of their fellows out of a trap, but what the motive is, who shall say? |
30249 | I have taken persons to hear the hermit thrush, and I have fancied that they were all the time saying to themselves,"Is that all?" |
30249 | IX DO ANIMALS THINK AND REFLECT? |
30249 | If a fox would bait poultry with corn, why should he not, in his wild state, bait mice and squirrels with nuts and seeds? |
30249 | If natural selection has developed and sharpened the claws of the cat and the scent of the fox, why should it not develop and sharpen their wits also? |
30249 | If nature study is only to exploit your own individuality, why bother about what other people have or have not seen or heard? |
30249 | If not, where were they? |
30249 | If so, how did they communicate the intelligence and set the whole mighty army in motion? |
30249 | If so, how does it differ from free intelligence or judgment? |
30249 | If the dog in such cases does not reflect, what does he do? |
30249 | In fact, that they would die as soon in the air as in the fresh water? |
30249 | Indeed, what is there about the wood thrush that is not pleasing? |
30249 | Is a change of habits to meet new conditions, or the taking advantage of accidental circumstances, an evidence of sense? |
30249 | Is he in love with the truth, or with the strange, the bizarre? |
30249 | Is his eye single? |
30249 | Is instinct resourceful? |
30249 | Is it a real fit? |
30249 | Is it because his foot would leave a scent that would give his secret away, while his nose does not? |
30249 | Is it equally true that the high color of most fruits is to attract some hungry creature to come and eat them and thus scatter the seeds? |
30249 | Is it fear? |
30249 | Is it himself, then, and not the truth that he is seeking to exploit? |
30249 | Is it not the same in a degree among men? |
30249 | Is it probable that a mere animal reflects upon the future any more than it does upon the past? |
30249 | Is it solicitous about the future well- being of its offspring any more than it is curious about its ancestry? |
30249 | Is she thinking about it? |
30249 | Is there any other animal that would act as the collie did under like circumstances? |
30249 | Is there anything which, without great violence to language, may be called a school of the woods? |
30249 | Is this act the result of knowledge or of experience? |
30249 | It is not afraid of the skin itself; why should it infer that squirrels, for instance, are? |
30249 | Many of the shells upon the beach are very showy; to what end? |
30249 | Many of the toadstools are highly colored also; how do they profit by it? |
30249 | May it not be because the wasps are solitary? |
30249 | Newspaper reading tends to make one cautious-- and who does not read newspapers in these days? |
30249 | Now am I to accept this story without question because I find it printed in a book? |
30249 | Now, can the action of the plover in this case be explained on the theory of instinct alone? |
30249 | Now, how did the fox know that the trap was sprung and was now harmless? |
30249 | Now, if by interpretation we mean an answer to the question,"What does this mean?" |
30249 | Now, what is the interpretation? |
30249 | Or how tell of a newly found food supply save by flying eagerly to it? |
30249 | Or were these restless spirits unable to fold their wings even in sleep? |
30249 | Poisonous fruits are also highly colored; to what end? |
30249 | Reason and instinct are both manifestations of intelligence, yet do they not belong to different planes? |
30249 | Reason heeds the points of the compass and takes note of the topography of the country, but what can animals know of these things? |
30249 | Shall we deny anything to a bird or beast that makes it more interesting, and more worthy of our study and admiration? |
30249 | Shall we say these horses deliberately committed suicide? |
30249 | That birds and beasts do communicate with each other, who can doubt? |
30249 | That lusty_ caw- aw, caw- aw_ that one hears in spring and summer, like the voice of authority or command, what does it mean? |
30249 | The bird had learned to be unafraid in the cage, and why should it be afraid out of the cage? |
30249 | The hickory nut is almost white; why does it not seek concealment also? |
30249 | The puzzle is, how did this masterly observer know that this state of affairs existed between this couple? |
30249 | The songless birds-- why has Nature denied them this gift? |
30249 | The sparrow''s song meant nothing to her at all, and how could she share the enthusiasm of the poet? |
30249 | The ways of nature,--who can map them, or fathom them, or interpret them, or do much more than read a hint correctly here and there? |
30249 | They are mostly down, and why should they not fall without any danger to life or limb? |
30249 | They could not carry it with their feet, and how could they manage it with their beaks? |
30249 | This may be all right in fiction or romance or fable, but why call the outcome natural history? |
30249 | This moth feeds upon the nectar of flowers like the hummingbird, and why should it not have the hummingbird''s form and manner? |
30249 | Unless the seed itself is digested, what is there to tempt the bird to devour it, or to reward it for so doing? |
30249 | V FACTORS IN ANIMAL LIFE The question that the Californian schoolchildren put to me,"Have the birds got sense?" |
30249 | VIII WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW? |
30249 | WHAT DO ANIMALS KNOW? |
30249 | Was he indeed hearing the bird of his youth? |
30249 | Was the act an act of judgment, or simply an unreasoning impulse, like so much else in the lives of the wild creatures? |
30249 | Was the press of birds so great that they needed to keep their wings moving to ventilate the shaft, as do certain of the bees in a crowded hive? |
30249 | Was the spot agreed upon beforehand and notice served upon all the members of the tribe? |
30249 | Was this of itself an act of intelligence? |
30249 | What benefit to the tree, directly or indirectly, is all this wealth of color of the autumn? |
30249 | What can a calf or a cow know about sharpened nails, and the use of a rock to dull them? |
30249 | What can be more unsuitable, untractable, for a nest in a hole or cavity than the twigs the house wren uses? |
30249 | What could any horse know about such a disability? |
30249 | What do Ruskin''s writings upon nature interpret? |
30249 | What does he know about maple trees and the spring flow of sap? |
30249 | What does it all mean? |
30249 | What does it mean? |
30249 | What does or can a horse know about death, or about self- destruction? |
30249 | What experience has the race of orioles had with cloth, that any member of it should know how to unravel it in that way? |
30249 | What is the meaning of the fossils in the rocks? |
30249 | What should he do now? |
30249 | What their various calls mean, who shall tell? |
30249 | What was she going to do with the egg? |
30249 | What was the meaning of it? |
30249 | What were they saying? |
30249 | When a fowl eats gravel or sand, is it probable that the fowl knows what the practice is for, or has any notion at all about the matter? |
30249 | When and how did it get this experience? |
30249 | When this happens, does the tree start a new bud and then develop a new shoot to take the place of the lost leader? |
30249 | Where was her experience of its supposed truth obtained? |
30249 | Wherefore, then, are they so brightly colored? |
30249 | Who ever saw a trained animal, unless it be the elephant, do anything that betrayed the least spark of conscious intelligence? |
30249 | Who ever saw any of our common birds display any sense or judgment in the handling of strings? |
30249 | Who knows? |
30249 | Who would have him more human or less canine? |
30249 | Why are robins so abundant? |
30249 | Why are these parasitical birds found the world over? |
30249 | Why does not the fox take a stick and spring the trap he is so afraid of? |
30249 | Why does the cowbird lay its egg in another bird''s nest? |
30249 | Why does the dog, the world over, use his nose in covering the bone he is hiding, and not his paw? |
30249 | Why does the wild flower, as we chance upon it in the woods or bogs, give us more pleasure than the more elaborate flower of the garden or lawn? |
30249 | Why is corn so bright colored, and wheat and barley so dull, and rice so white? |
30249 | Why is the Canada jay so much tamer than are other jays? |
30249 | Why is the Canada jay so tame and familiar about your camp in the northern woods or in the Rockies, and the other jays so wary? |
30249 | Why is the fox so cunning? |
30249 | Why is the porcupine so tame and stupid? |
30249 | Why is the spruce grouse so stupid compared with most other species? |
30249 | Why not sit in your study and invent your facts to suit your fancyings? |
30249 | Why set it down as a record of actual observation? |
30249 | Why should he not? |
30249 | Why should not Nature repeat herself in this way? |
30249 | Why should the crow be afraid of a gun, if it had learned not to be afraid of the gunner? |
30249 | Why, in fact, go to the woods at all? |
30249 | Why, then, has not this resemblance been brought about? |
30249 | Why, then, should it not take on these alluring colors to help along this end? |
30249 | Why? |
30249 | Why? |
30249 | Will her failure in this case cause her to lose faith in the protective influence of the shadow of a human dwelling? |
30249 | With one on each side, how could they fly with the nest between them? |
30249 | Wolves reared with dogs learn to bark, and who has not seen a dog draw its face as if trying to laugh as its master does? |
30249 | Would not any serious student of nature in our day know in advance of experiment that all this was childish and absurd? |
30249 | Would the same mice share their last crumb with their fellow if he were starving? |
30249 | Would they not at once identify the harmless one with their real enemy and thus fear them both alike? |
30249 | _ Have_ the birds and our other wild neighbors sense, as distinguished from instinct? |
30249 | how do you feel about it?" |
30249 | or of a thousand and one other things in the organic and inorganic world about us? |
30249 | or of the carving and sculpturing of the landscape? |
30249 | or,"What is the exact truth about it?" |
30249 | that little squeaky thing?" |
30249 | then, how could it weave it into the wires of its cage? |
3462 | A Spider, that is certain; but which? |
3462 | Able to keep fresh under the mandibles of the Sphex- larvae, why did they promptly go bad under the mandibles of the Scolia- larvae? |
3462 | Accustomed to the first, will she fail to know the second? |
3462 | Among the theorists of the day, is there one clear- sighted enough to solve the riddle for us? |
3462 | And does this cocoon, my precious booty, really belong to the Scoliae? |
3462 | And now please tell me, what did this prototype of the Sphegidae hunt? |
3462 | And the Dog: how is it that of all the domestic animals he alone is able to accompany us everywhere, even on the most arduous expeditions? |
3462 | Are the fangs actuated by a special ganglion? |
3462 | Are they actuated by fibres issuing from centres exercising further functions? |
3462 | Are we to class the two mechanisms together? |
3462 | At what spots should the egg now be laid? |
3462 | Besides, where would they lead us? |
3462 | Besides, who knows? |
3462 | Between the two opposite slants of the sting, which is itself very short, what can the distance be? |
3462 | But what are we to say of the Empusa? |
3462 | But what does she do there? |
3462 | But which of the Scarabaeidae? |
3462 | But... but... what is this? |
3462 | Can an accident ever happen in the Bee''s favour? |
3462 | Can it be that you are the Pompilus''Sheep? |
3462 | Can it be the only vulnerable point, which would necessarily determine the thrust of the lancet? |
3462 | Can the other have been stabbed? |
3462 | Can the poor wretch take comfort by relying on her trusty dagger? |
3462 | Can they have neglected to accommodate themselves to the demands of their environment? |
3462 | Conversely, is the mellivorous larva killed by animal food? |
3462 | Could she have taught you uniformity? |
3462 | Did I not say that its obstinacy in remaining rolled up was due to no acquired prudence but to the necessity of the moment? |
3462 | Did they fulfil the second? |
3462 | Do not the scientist''s theory and the insect''s practice agree most admirably? |
3462 | Do not these preparations for the nymphosis tell us plainly that the creature is not dead? |
3462 | Do they actually wound with their dirks the ganglion whose influence is to be done away with? |
3462 | Do they confine themselves to lodging their drop of poison on the ganglion, or at all events in its immediate neighbourhood? |
3462 | Does it not prove that there is a progressive dismemberment passing from the less essential to the indispensable? |
3462 | Does not this remnant of tenacious vitality in itself show that the organs of primary importance are the last to be attacked? |
3462 | Does she surprise the Spider outside her fortress? |
3462 | Does the Wasp enter the burrow to surprise the Tarantula at the bottom of her lair? |
3462 | Does the vegetable bird- limer, with its sticky rings, derive advantage from these death- struggles? |
3462 | During this fit of delirious joy, what is the wounded caterpillar doing? |
3462 | Food? |
3462 | For example: why has the tiger a coat streaked black and yellow? |
3462 | Has not the animal accomplished to perfection what anatomy and physiology enabled us to foretell? |
3462 | Have you ever seen the larder of a skilled Hunting Wasp, a Sphex for instance, a Scolia, an Ammophila? |
3462 | Have you had the curiosity to look through the pages in which I set forth the detailed results of my observations? |
3462 | How did the Cerceris manage to recognize in these jewels the Weevil, the near relative of the vulgar Phynotomus? |
3462 | How does she manage to recognize in this spectre the near relation of the Praying Mantis? |
3462 | How does the mother know that the syrup, a treat for her, is unwholesome for her young? |
3462 | How has a miserable grub learnt what our knowledge can not tell us? |
3462 | How indeed could I hope that a creature whose art is practised in the darkness of a heap of mould would decide to work in broad daylight? |
3462 | How is he to capture the imposing creature, how to avoid its sting? |
3462 | I repeat, who knows? |
3462 | If our observations were to cease here, could we say which of the two is the hunter and which the hunted? |
3462 | If the Pompilus has perfected her method of attack, why has not the Segestria perfected her method of defence? |
3462 | If the mother sets no value on the Grasshopper, what then can be the reason of her refusal? |
3462 | In front, behind, on the sides, the back or the belly? |
3462 | In this respect, what have the Brachyderes and the Balaninus in common in the eyes of the townsman, the peasant, the child or the Cerceris? |
3462 | In what fencing- school was the slayer taught her terrible upward blow under the chin? |
3462 | Instead of this unscrupulously omnivorous race, levying booty upon every kind of game, to its very great advantage, what do we see to- day? |
3462 | Is it not true that, before striking the adversary, you should take care not to get wounded yourself? |
3462 | Is it possible that centuries upon centuries should have modified the one to its advantage without succeeding in modifying the other? |
3462 | Is it the art practised by the tailor when cutting his stuff, with mandibles taking the place of scissors? |
3462 | Is it the colouring? |
3462 | Is it the general appearance that guides her? |
3462 | Is not man''s complaisant stomach, adapted to the largest variety of nourishment, one of his great zoological privileges? |
3462 | Is not the other there, facing her, ready to snap at the back of her head, inflicting a wound which would result in sudden death? |
3462 | Is not the world of living creatures ruled by the stomach? |
3462 | Is she a poacher, a pillager of other''s property, or a genuine huntress? |
3462 | Is she really invulnerable? |
3462 | Is such a duel possible? |
3462 | Is the evidence conclusive this time? |
3462 | Is there any chance of a commutation of the death- penalty? |
3462 | Is this Wasp invulnerable, that she thus escapes from the terrible fangs? |
3462 | Is this all? |
3462 | Is this an epicure''s preference, due to the greater juiciness of the flesh? |
3462 | Is this centre directly smitten by the weapon? |
3462 | Is this due to acquired caution? |
3462 | Is this due to extraordinary powers of excavation on her part? |
3462 | Is this due to feebleness of the teeth? |
3462 | Is this enough to dispose of the very improbable supposition that the determination of the sex depends on the quantity of food? |
3462 | It is fairly convincing, is it not? |
3462 | It will come; but when? |
3462 | May it not be that...? |
3462 | Now what does this newcomer, of whom I know nothing, want? |
3462 | Of what use are these trophies of corpses hanging by a leg or a wing? |
3462 | Of what use are they to the plant? |
3462 | Oh, they are"thereabouts,"are they? |
3462 | Once again, whence comes this strange immunity of the Calicurgus held between the legs and assailed by the daggers of the Tarantula? |
3462 | Or is it poisoned with virus, from a very small distance, by the progressive impregnation of the neighbouring tissues? |
3462 | Shall I abandon the problem? |
3462 | Shall I get her or shall I not? |
3462 | Shall we forget that the one turns a shoulder of mutton before the hearth, while the other divides time into seconds? |
3462 | Shall we reproach him with these insanities, when we hear another, misled by the Monkey''s build, acclaim the Pithecanthropus as man''s precursor? |
3462 | Shall we, in our helplessness, admit ourselves beaten by the evolutionary effects of diet? |
3462 | Should we not feel sorry for the imprudent Pompilus? |
3462 | The farmers had to wait for the sun to repair the disaster; but how were they to keep the famishing new- born grubs alive for a few days? |
3462 | Then are the fangs powerless to pierce the Wasp''s integuments? |
3462 | Then with which Scarabaeid does the empty skin which is still unknown to me correspond? |
3462 | There remains this other problem, one of incomparable interest: why are the Bees robbed of their honey before being served to the larvae? |
3462 | To evoking the instincts of bygone ages, which have not been preserved by fossilization? |
3462 | Was it really my fault? |
3462 | Was its diet varied or uniform? |
3462 | What are they seeking in these evolutions of theirs, which are repeated a hundred times over? |
3462 | What are they waiting for? |
3462 | What are we to conclude from all this? |
3462 | What are we to say of the Grey Worm and other caterpillars beloved of the Ammophilae? |
3462 | What better, for example, than the term Sphex? |
3462 | What can be the reason? |
3462 | What chance has she of plunging her lancet into it, if there is nothing to guide her? |
3462 | What chance would hazard offer her of obtaining this prey, the most suitable of all because the most vulnerable? |
3462 | What could they give their Silk- worms while waiting for the mulberry to sprout afresh? |
3462 | What did she do? |
3462 | What do these four huntresses and the others of similar habits do with their victims whose crops are more or less swollen with honey? |

18790 | Are there antennæ on its head? |
18790 | Are they not beautiful? |
18790 | Because your mother told you to; well, that is a good reason, but why do you think she told you to use soap suds? |
18790 | But who is this darting over the pond? |
18790 | But why are the little boats that have come to anchor down there moving their paddles so constantly? |

18790 | Is it possible that_ they_ are the larvæ of our fairy May flies? |

18790 | SCALE BUGS What, May, you are tired out? |
18790 | See how these wings are veined, and do you not remember how you admired the silvery wings of the corydalus when we spread them out? |
18790 | Should n''t you like to fly like that, children? |
18790 | Sir, why do you have such long antennæ? |
18790 | So you think the frogs spit on the grass do you? |
18790 | Something moving in the bottom of the pond? |
18790 | Sticks and mud-- and-- what is that? |

18790 | The swarms of grasshoppers in the late summer? |
18790 | Then chickens and ducks and geese must be birds? |
18790 | Then what do you think happened? |
18790 | Then what do you think it does? |
18790 | Then why is not walking stick a good name for it? |
18790 | They all have--? |
18790 | They are old enough to know better? |
18790 | They are very closely related to-- which division of locusts, do you think? |
18790 | Walking Stick, you here again?" |
18790 | Walking Stick? |

18790 | What makes you think so, John? |
18790 | What other insect lays its eggs in little bandboxes? |
18790 | What would be the use of seeing an insect if it could not fly fast enough to catch it? |

18790 | What, Charlie? |

3421 | ), nimbly deposit her eggs on the Osmia''s harvest at the moment when the Bee is going indoors? |
3421 | ), the favourite prey, be lacking, must the Pelopaeus therefore give up foraging? |
3421 | After such pains, what foe could visit the dwelling? |
3421 | And by whom, pray? |
3421 | And then? |
3421 | And what does the Halictus mother do in this disaster? |
3421 | And what is that progress by units to us? |
3421 | And what of the sense of smell, distinguishing the dead from the living? |
3421 | And what reason can we allege for these innumerable clusters? |
3421 | And why were they not fertilized? |
3421 | And, if there were, O master, what would they teach us? |
3421 | Are not we ourselves, when the weather is about to alter, subject to subtle impressions, to sensations which we are unable to explain? |
3421 | Are the habits of an insect capable of modification? |
3421 | Are they alkaline or acid? |
3421 | Are they inclined to do their work among themselves rather than in the company of strangers? |
3421 | Are they then machines? |
3421 | Are things the same in animal industry? |
3421 | At first sight, this latter detail hardly deserves attention: is it not right to fill the pot before we put a lid on? |
3421 | Bearing this point in mind, would it be possible for me, by manoeuvring, to obtain an inversion of this order and make the laying begin with males? |
3421 | But does the hatching, by which I mean the emergence from the cocoon, take place in the same order? |
3421 | But does this rule express the whole truth? |
3421 | But is it correct? |
3421 | But is this really how things happen? |
3421 | But is this what we want to know? |
3421 | But what will the other do with its waste matter, cooped up as it is in a tiny cell stuffed full of provisions? |
3421 | But, should the time- honoured lichen be lacking, will the bird refrain from building its nest? |
3421 | By what aberration of nomenclature was the name of Lithurgus, a worker in stone, given to insects which work solely in wood? |
3421 | Can it be by sense of smell? |
3421 | Can she have no other establishments? |
3421 | Can the Bee''s poison reduce the prey to the condition required by the predatory Wasp? |
3421 | Can the shells of the Anthidia be air- proof, owing to some modification that escapes me? |
3421 | Can there really be an act of measuring? |
3421 | Can this mustering of the Halicti be due to a wish to resume the old intercourse with their friends and relations? |
3421 | Can we admit the presence of other wheels in the machinery for the new pattern, so different in shape and size? |
3421 | Can we discover the reason? |
3421 | Come, be honest: could he? |
3421 | Could one who knew nothing of the Sparrow but her nest under the eaves suspect the ball- shaped nest at the top of a tree? |
3421 | Did I say passed over their bodies? |
3421 | Do not the two sexes both call for the assistance of the fertilizing element? |
3421 | Do the natives of the same burrow, of the same hamlet, recognize one another? |
3421 | Do they know what they are doing? |
3421 | Do they prove that the Osmia is a geometrician, employing a strict measure based on the length of her body? |
3421 | Do we find a similar organ in the other Hymenoptera, whether honey- gatherers or hunters? |
3421 | Do you know the Halicti? |
3421 | Does each species of Megachile keep to a single plant, or has it a definite botanical domain wherein to exercise its liberty of choice? |
3421 | Does it know only one definite plant, its special province? |
3421 | Does not the geologist make the erstwhile carcases live anew in our minds in the light of the world as we see it? |
3421 | Does she know how to make use of houses which she has not tunnelled herself? |
3421 | Does she nevertheless end by descending to the quiet of the floor below? |
3421 | Does she penetrate to the cells and lay her eggs there in the mother''s absence? |
3421 | Does she use the old buildings or does she abandon them for good? |
3421 | Does the Osmia go outside, to gather on the ground the rubbish which she flung out when boring the cylinder? |
3421 | Does the function create the organ, or the organ the function? |
3421 | Does the insect collect resin impaired by the weather, soiled by the sanies of rotten wood? |
3421 | Does the insect in its turn receive a lasting impression of its earliest visions? |
3421 | Does the insect know beforehand the sex of the egg which it is about to lay? |
3421 | Earth washed in by the rain? |
3421 | For what reason? |
3421 | Has it pleasant memories of its first surroundings? |
3421 | Has personal experience not fully convinced us that the mere examination of the insect can tell us nothing about its particular industry? |
3421 | Has she any general survivors? |
3421 | Has she quite done, this time? |
3421 | Has she really an object? |
3421 | Has the jade a name? |
3421 | Have they, like ourselves, a special affection for the place which saw their birth? |
3421 | Have we eyes to see with, or do we see because we have eyes? |
3421 | Have we here a taste that is exclusive? |
3421 | Have we not, for instance, seen the name of Lithurgus, or stone- worker, given to a Bee who works in wood and nothing but wood? |
3421 | How are they prescribed for the insect, this one rather than that? |
3421 | How can this slight difference in age affect the total evolution, which lasts a year? |
3421 | How did the Hymenopteron master the terrible prey? |
3421 | How did the work of man''s pruning- knife bring about the abandonment of the natural lodging? |
3421 | How has this change been brought about? |
3421 | How is she apprised that the cocoon, which has undergone no outward change, contains a dead and not a live grub? |
3421 | How many Halicti are there in this Babylon? |
3421 | How shall it be given its correct dimensions without a pattern? |
3421 | How shall it decide? |
3421 | How shall the insect cope with such grave circumstances? |
3421 | How shall we distinguish one from the other? |
3421 | How shall we recognize them? |
3421 | How was the spiral staircase of the Snail- shell replaced by the cylindrical gallery of the reed? |
3421 | If the Bee at the bottom of the shaft wants to leave her lodging, will she spare those who bar her road? |
3421 | If, by the mere flexion inherent in her structure, the Leaf- cutter succeeds in cutting out ovals, how does she succeed in cutting out rounds? |
3421 | In her anxiety to get out, how will she set about her release? |
3421 | In this string of cocoons, which is the oldest, which the youngest? |
3421 | Is it an effect of pressure, of hygrometry, of electrical conditions, of properties that escape our coarser physical attunement? |
3421 | Is it inhabited by the Resin- bee or not? |
3421 | Is it to attack the partition on the right or that on the left? |
3421 | Is not the whole problem subordinate to a condition that can not be translated into cyphers? |
3421 | Is the Lamb when it first grips the teat a free and conscious agent, capable of improvement in its difficult art of taking nourishment? |
3421 | Is the insect as highly gifted? |
3421 | Is the insect conscious of what it does? |
3421 | Is the mother absolutely powerless to make a change in this arrangement, should circumstances require it? |
3421 | Is the organ really absent? |
3421 | Is there not at least a measuring adapted to each sex? |
3421 | Is there nothing beyond a laying in two series? |
3421 | May we, in this predicament, have recourse to the general structure of the insect, although this is not distinctive enough to be of much use to us? |
3421 | Might not this intercourse tend to cheer them and encourage them to patience? |
3421 | Must we take it that the two sorts of Bees are not equally sensitive to the influences of gravity? |
3421 | Now what would happen if the Bee, so scrupulous in matters of cleanliness, were to find a pupa in the cell which she is sweeping? |
3421 | Now, how are the sexes distributed in those layings which are necessarily broken up between one old nest and another? |
3421 | Of what does this influence consist? |
3421 | Of what use are its industrial variations? |
3421 | Or has it, for employment in its manufactures, a varied flora, in which its discernment exercises a free choice? |
3421 | Or was there want of skill on my part? |
3421 | Remnants of the putrefied Snail? |
3421 | Shall I be able to speak to you again? |
3421 | Shall I persuade them one day? |
3421 | Shall we ever obtain a satisfactory answer to the question? |
3421 | Shall we find an answer to the question in the varnish with which the silken fabric is impregnated? |
3421 | Shall you be safe from the Anthrax''sucker later on? |
3421 | Supposing that they survive when the business of the household is finished, to whom will the office of overseer fall? |
3421 | That is perfectly true; but are there any alterations? |
3421 | That is the mechanism in the lump; but what of the artistry? |
3421 | The explanation? |
3421 | Then what explanation shall I give of the wonderful facts which I have set forth? |
3421 | Then what is my explanation of the two facts? |
3421 | Then what was the object of the Leaf- cutter''s ridiculous pile? |
3421 | Then where is the answer to the riddle of the world? |
3421 | Then why should they escape the common rule, which requires that every living creature, male as well as female, should come from a fertilized ovule? |
3421 | To go no further, have we not just seen different artisans collecting and using pitch, some with spoons, others with rakes, others again with pincers? |
3421 | To whose share will the maternal dwelling fall? |
3421 | Was it terror on her part? |
3421 | We possess implements wherewith to pierce the walls; but where are we to strike to reach the final outlet and to reach it with the least delay? |
3421 | Well, have these life- saving experiments, with their immense importance to the race, become general by hereditary bequest? |
3421 | Well, how can this multitude of varied instincts teach us anything about gradual transformation? |
3421 | Well, if that just and mighty one held the earth under his thumb, would he hesitate whether he ought to crush it? |
3421 | Well, is the powerful Carpenter, all unheeding of fatigue, able to take advantage of such fortunate occasions? |
3421 | Well, which of the survivors, all equally entitled to the succession, will inherit the house? |
3421 | What an expenditure of ardent labour, of delicate cares, of wise precautions, to arrive at... what? |
3421 | What are the conditions brought into play to produce a result apparently so contrary to the laws of nature? |
3421 | What are we to conclude from all these experiments? |
3421 | What artifice can we then employ to provoke this second permutation? |
3421 | What can this polisher be? |
3421 | What clearer proof can we hope to find of the unconsciousness of the animal stimulated by instinct? |
3421 | What do they gain by their mustering? |
3421 | What does it contain? |
3421 | What does she pick up? |
3421 | What goes on inside these neophytes as they cross the threshold of the burrow for the first time? |
3421 | What has arithmetic to do with the case? |
3421 | What has become of them? |
3421 | What has malachurus, calling attention to the softness of the rump, to do in this connection? |
3421 | What is the puny idler there for? |
3421 | What is the use of that hole, left quite open or, at most, closed at the bottom with a feeble grating of silk? |
3421 | What is the use of this point which the larva leaves bare instead of inlaying it like the rest of the shell? |
3421 | What is to be done with the rest of the tunnel? |
3421 | What mental pattern guides her scissors? |
3421 | What model has the Megachile when cutting her neat ellipses out of the delicate material for her wallets, the robinia- leaves? |
3421 | What picture, what recollection has she of the pot to be covered? |
3421 | What reasons induced him to give up the spherical edifice? |
3421 | What stimulus does the insect obey when it employs the reserve powers that slumber in its race? |
3421 | What system of measurement tells her the dimensions? |
3421 | What the Bee of the brambles does can not her kinswomen of the reeds do too? |
3421 | What then is the reason of these thousand industries? |
3421 | What was her object, I ask again, when she persisted in obstinately piling up her wafers? |
3421 | What was the new victim submitted to the butcher''s knife? |
3421 | What will guide the insect in its gleaning? |
3421 | What will happen under these several conditions? |
3421 | What will happen? |
3421 | What will it yield, a male or a female? |
3421 | What will the theorists''levers lift with this fulcrum? |
3421 | What will they do in the presence of such a find? |
3421 | What would happen if a parasite were surprised at her work by the Bee? |
3421 | When it works with vegetable matter, is it exclusive in its tastes? |
3421 | When kneading it, does it mix some dark ingredient with it? |
3421 | When light is so easy to obtain, why go in search of scientific obscurity? |
3421 | When the cocoon that blocks the way contains a dead instead of a live grub, will the result be the same? |
3421 | When the hen sits upon her eggs, is the oldest always the first to hatch? |
3421 | When the mother, the original genitrix, has been able once to dispense with a coadjutor, why does she need one later? |
3421 | Whence are these materials obtained? |
3421 | Whence, I ask, comes this general preference for the cylinder, never used hitherto? |
3421 | Where again did the Silvery Megachile, for whom I created an exotic shrubbery, make the acquaintance of the lopezia, which comes from Mexico? |
3421 | Where will the others take up their quarters? |
3421 | Which is its mole- hill among the many others near, all similar in appearance? |
3421 | Which of the four supplies the mastic? |
3421 | Who are these vagabonds? |
3421 | Who knows? |
3421 | Who will ever know? |
3421 | Who would dare put him to such a test? |
3421 | Who would dare to indulge in any such theories? |
3421 | Who would venture to suggest it in the case of the Bee grappling with her transcendental problem? |
3421 | Why all these different trades, to say nothing of the others? |
3421 | Why do they not hatch like the other eggs, which outwardly they resemble in every respect? |
3421 | Why does he become necessary now? |
3421 | Why does she not take the intruders by the skin of the abdomen? |
3421 | Why should it not answer for its Cotton- bees and, in the same way, with the Leaf- cutters? |
3421 | Why should she put herself out? |
3421 | Why stir up more of them? |
3421 | Why talk of acid or alkaline reactions, which prove nothing, when it is so simple to have recourse to facts, which prove everything? |
3421 | Why this fatuous clemency? |
3421 | Will it forgo the delight of hatching its brood because it has not the wherewithal to settle its family in the orthodox fashion? |
3421 | With what does she build when there are no geranium- flowers handy? |
3421 | Would she think differently if the lilac- bush were not there? |
3421 | Yes, but are you quite sure that things happened as you say? |
43341 | And yet is not pain the warning which teaches us to foresee and to anticipate, and by every means in our power to ward off our dissolution? 43341 Is it not he,"said Linnà ©,"who passes? |
43341 | Knowest thou not that love transforms Into itself whate''er it loves? |
43341 | Shall I be bird or quadruped? |
43341 | Shall I be fish or mammal? |
43341 | Thou wouldst know wherefore I dream? 43341 We must start,"says the father;"do you not hear the lark?" |
43341 | What nightingale could do as much? |
43341 | What remained to me? 43341 ***** Ah, if she be a machine, what am I myself? 43341 ***** But rifle practice? 43341 84).--Is it wrong for man, in his reveries, to beguile himself into a belief that he will one day be more than man, to attribute to himself wings? 43341 A gull? 43341 A nurse? 43341 A soul? 43341 Age came, and with it anxieties: family anxieties? 43341 Ah, why dost thou not remain? 43341 Am I saying that we have had no other assistance? 43341 An eagle? 43341 An education so delicate, so varied, so complex, is it that of a machine, of a brute reduced to instinct? 43341 And for whom? 43341 And how shall I defend myself? 43341 And not in any beaten route, but at the same time in every direction: for where is not the bird''s track? 43341 And the ibis? 43341 And what barrier? 43341 And what do I say? 43341 And why have you absented yourself so long from home? |
43341 | And why not? |
43341 | And why? |
43341 | And why? |
43341 | And yet, what shall he do? |
43341 | As for the courage with which one is tempted to endow them, what occasion have they to display it, since they encounter none but inferior enemies? |
43341 | Ask an Egyptian fellah why he allows himself to be infested and deafened by birds? |
43341 | At this hallowed moment, ought not we, too, to reflect and ask ourselves what it is this mother''s heart contains? |
43341 | But how protect them? |
43341 | But how should I set him free? |
43341 | But the first freshness of the heart? |
43341 | But the lonely bird, which has neither the support of numbers nor of strength, what will become of him? |
43341 | But what is instinct? |
43341 | But what is the fact? |
43341 | But what is this? |
43341 | But what means the cow? |
43341 | But what would become of_ them_? |
43341 | But where have you been? |
43341 | But who among us, or among more serious beings, in such a case, does not do the same? |
43341 | But who can die without having one day unlocked his heart? |
43341 | But, alas, was pain so useful as to render it necessary to prodigalize it? |
43341 | Can they love as deeply as we love? |
43341 | Death? |
43341 | Do the fortunate suitor and his fair one, think you, air their idle loves wandering through the forests? |
43341 | Does climate save us? |
43341 | Does the mocking frog defy thee from the bottom of the waters?" |
43341 | Does this mean that death will ever diminish? |
43341 | Dreams or realities? |
43341 | Enemies? |
43341 | Est- ce bien ce qu''elle chante encore? |
43341 | For on what grounds? |
43341 | Gay? |
43341 | Give them a ship of the line-- what do I say? |
43341 | Hast thou even eyes to see them? |
43341 | Hast thou wings to pursue them? |
43341 | Hath thy prey failed thee? |
43341 | Have the too subtle fish deceived thine eyes? |
43341 | He comes into the world clothed; what need has he of a nest? |
43341 | He said, in effect:--"King of song, what dost thou here? |
43341 | He said, obviously:"What matters it to one who is no more?" |
43341 | He strikes and slays: can he seize? |
43341 | How can he have slain without horror the walrus and the seal, which in so many points are like himself? |
43341 | How is it able to rise at such enormous distances from all land? |
43341 | How shall I express the transports which this discovery awakened? |
43341 | How shall we doubt it, when we see the most timid suddenly become heroic in defence of their young and their family? |
43341 | How shall we reach, how discover it? |
43341 | How shall you oppose them when they make war upon you in legions? |
43341 | How wilt thou multiply thyself? |
43341 | How, then, will it be with the sage stork, the shrewd crow, the intelligent swallow? |
43341 | If she has not a soul, who will answer to me for the human soul? |
43341 | If, however, such a cadaverous dissolution really prevailed there, would it not render the waters fatal to the fish, instead of nourishing them? |
43341 | Indestructible vigour of the climates of the West? |
43341 | Is he happy? |
43341 | Is it a bird? |
43341 | Is it a spirit? |
43341 | Is it more than a simple mask of life''s transformations? |
43341 | Is it the cold? |
43341 | Is it to exercise her power, her unwearying wing, without going too far from her nest? |
43341 | Is it to pursue her prey, the gnat which dances and floats in the air? |
43341 | Is she immovable, this earth? |
43341 | Is she not holy? |
43341 | Is there not here an idea of property, and of the sacred lights of labour? |
43341 | Is there then no remedy? |
43341 | Melancholy? |
43341 | Must not the child grow skilful in killing, that, from murder to murder, he may at last arrive at the surpassing feat of killing the flying swallow? |
43341 | Or rather, in their leafless declivities shall we not discover the fountains which may renew their life? |
43341 | Shall I confess it, however? |
43341 | Shall I dare to tell men of science my inmost thought? |
43341 | Shall I have wherewithal to nourish my little ones this evening?" |
43341 | Shall I not bring you some more, mamma?'' |
43341 | Shall we dare to say that this ingenious architect, this tender mother, has_ a soul_? |
43341 | Shall we say_ above_, or_ below_ the works of man? |
43341 | Study has commenced; we apply ourselves with eagerness to our books; but what now? |
43341 | The eagle or the condor? |
43341 | The second( but miraculous? |
43341 | These organs of singing, which are so largely developed in the swan, were they always useless? |
43341 | Thou, what art thou, friend? |
43341 | To Germany? |
43341 | To this all- absorbing abyss of devouring death, of famished life, what does God oppose to re- assure us? |
43341 | To what thereafter shall we trust? |
43341 | To which the bird will reply, like Columbus,"Why did you not discover it?" |
43341 | Upon what? |
43341 | Was he starving? |
43341 | What are these? |
43341 | What are they but air, sea, the elements, which have taken wing and fly? |
43341 | What are they? |
43341 | What avail their fictions before the burning centre where, by atoms or by seconds, life dies, is born, blazes, scintillates? |
43341 | What became of the poor little nest, exposed on the ground, with no other shelter than the periwinkle''s leaf? |
43341 | What can the mother effect in the mobile existence of the fish? |
43341 | What cloud, what watery deep is inaccessible to ye? |
43341 | What do I say? |
43341 | What does it come in quest of, if not of a wreck? |
43341 | What gift? |
43341 | What gives them confidence for such enterprises? |
43341 | What had his club availed against the plesiosaurus? |
43341 | What has their heroism profited the Indians of North America? |
43341 | What heart could resist all these toils? |
43341 | What impels_ them_? |
43341 | What in the insect world, where she generally dies as soon as she has produced the egg? |
43341 | What is it, and what should issue from it? |
43341 | What is required for its protection? |
43341 | What is the chronology, the gradual growth of it? |
43341 | What matters that? |
43341 | What new acquisition? |
43341 | What power would be sufficient? |
43341 | What progress has been made in the last two thousand years? |
43341 | What shall be its defence? |
43341 | What then? |
43341 | What will this avail if the enormous jaw of the serpent suddenly appears, or the horrible eye of the bird of death, immeasurably enlarged by fear? |
43341 | What will you say to the wounded elephant spoken of by Fouchà © d''Obsonville? |
43341 | What wills it? |
43341 | What wilt thou do, poor man? |
43341 | What would be the fate of a man given up to the insects? |
43341 | What would ye have done, ye feeble mortals, the latest- born of the world? |
43341 | What, indeed, is to there hurry him onward? |
43341 | When will they arrive thither? |
43341 | Whence does it come? |
43341 | Where shall they find securities, and how assure a commencement of public order? |
43341 | Where shall we seek repose or moral invigoration, if not of nature? |
43341 | Which is the better means? |
43341 | Who am I here? |
43341 | Who can refuse in this to acknowledge a soul? |
43341 | Who could sustain the thunderous flash without reeling and without terror? |
43341 | Who knows all its paths? |
43341 | Who knows but that man has only seen the threshold of the prodigious world of the dead? |
43341 | Who measures it with his glance and his wing? |
43341 | Who more than thou is raised above the mean fatalities of existence? |
43341 | Who surveys and descries all earth? |
43341 | Who will brave them? |
43341 | Who would have met, face to face, the horrible leviathan? |
43341 | Who would not accept this artist, this laborious purveyor for domestic wants, this intrepid defender? |
43341 | Who would not believe herself able to accomplish in safety, behind the generous rampart of this devoted champion, the delicate mystery of maternity? |
43341 | Who would not believe that the ill- fated bird must share the melancholy of her sad neighbour, the hare? |
43341 | Who, like her, can change in the very moment of springing, and turn abruptly? |
43341 | Who, then, art thou, thou who always concealest thyself, who never showest me aught but thy trenchant wings-- scythes rapid as that of Time? |
43341 | Who? |
43341 | Why do the swallow and so many other birds place their habitation so near to that of man? |
43341 | Why do they make themselves our friends, mingling with our labours, and lightening them by their songs? |
43341 | Why does it not everywhere exist, between us and our winged brothers, between man and the universal living nature?" |
43341 | Why doth this oak live through a thousand years? |
43341 | Why is that happy spectacle of alliance and harmony, which is the end of nature, presented only in the climates of our temperate zone? |
43341 | Why kill the friends of Wilson? |
43341 | Why not? |
43341 | Why should their elder brothers repulse them beyond the pale of those laws which the universal Father harmonizes with the law of the world? |
43341 | Why should they do better? |
43341 | Why was the meeting held on this particular day, at this hour more than at any other? |
43341 | Why, then, this love of murder, this extermination of the animal world? |
43341 | Wilt thou be a man, and share in that royalty of the globe which men have won by art and toil? |
43341 | Wilt thou sing readily for me, and, by thy puissance of love and calm, shed harmony on a heart troubled by the cruel history of men? |
43341 | Without them what would become of those living clouds of insects which love nothing but blood? |
43341 | Would you wish to observe two things wonderfully analogous? |
43341 | [ 20] That song, of which all antiquity speaks, is it a fable? |
43341 | [ Illustration] And will you not call him an artist? |
43341 | [ Illustration] But this faculty, this rapid inhalation or expulsion of air, of swimming with a ballast variable at pleasure, whence does it proceed? |
43341 | [ Illustration] Melodious sparks of celestial fire, whither do ye not attain? |
43341 | [ Illustration] What real difference exists between the eagle and the vulture? |
43341 | _ The woodpecker, as an augur._--Are the methods of observation adopted by meteorology serious and efficacious? |
43341 | a living fruit? |
43341 | and how? |
43341 | and who will then prove that I am a person? |
43341 | imaginative?) |
43341 | impossible? |
43341 | is it in you, ye living flowers, ye winged topazes and sapphires, that I shall find my safety? |
43341 | what shall I do? |
43341 | why not imitate the timorousness of those birds which in such myriads fly no further than Provence? |
44377 | And are there many birds able to do such work, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And can the worm really do this, Uncle Philip? 44377 And does she really make these round pieces to fit the cell?" |
44377 | And has the gnat really a lancet? |
44377 | And how large are the ants, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And how long, Uncle Philip, did it take the ants to put another story on their house? |
44377 | And how many eggs, Uncle Philip, will she put together in this way? |
44377 | And is it possible, Uncle Philip, that any bird can do such work as this? |
44377 | And that is not a good way to find out any thing, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And this is the way, then, Uncle Philip, to make hats: it is curious, is it not? |
44377 | And what did she do, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And what do you suppose this bridge is for, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And what have they been bleeding us with? |
44377 | And what is all this made of, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | And when it is done sawing, Uncle Philip, where does it keep its saws? |
44377 | Any bridges, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Are they strong, Uncle Philip? 44377 Are you tired, boys, or do you wish to hear more?" |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, how can you see it suck the water in? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, how did the kite help him? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, how do they ever manage to catch them alive? 44377 But, Uncle Philip, how does he get it up again?" |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, is it wrong to kill_ spiders_? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, what is the piece with the ridge for? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, what shall we do with the kite? 44377 But, Uncle Philip, what sort of tools do you mean? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, why do the legionaries always take the young ones? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, you have not said any thing about the round pieces which she cuts; how does she use them? |
44377 | But, Uncle Philip, you said that these ants were all of one sort; how then do they know one another so as to tell which party each one belongs to? 44377 Can it be possible, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Can you tell us any thing more about this fly? |
44377 | Did you ever see what the boys call a sucker, made of a piece of soft sole leather? 44377 Do all of them that belong to the hill go out to fight, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Do they bite hard, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Do you know what a philosopher is? |
44377 | Do you mean, Uncle Philip, a face made of pasteboard, very frightful commonly, which you can wear over your own face? |
44377 | Does it always use sand, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Does she do it quickly, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Have you learned them, boys? |
44377 | He is, indeed: but, my children, what do we learn from all that I have been telling you? 44377 How do they stick together then, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | How does it go to work, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | How does it hold on, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | How is it made, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | How is that, Uncle Philip? 44377 How large is it, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | How large is the hole? |
44377 | How long did it take them to work up the lump? |
44377 | How long were they in making it, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Is it smooth on the outside, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Is there any spark, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | It is because you see so much of God''s knowledge in them; is it not? |
44377 | It means, Uncle Philip, a man who loves to study about the animals and insects, does it not? |
44377 | Now then, Uncle Philip, she will begin to make paper, will she not? |
44377 | Now, Uncle Philip, will you tell us of the tweezers? |
44377 | Of sheep''s wool, and the hair of other animals: is it not? |
44377 | Oh, do tell us; what is it? |
44377 | Then she was not working for herself? |
44377 | Then, Uncle Philip, you think that the bird has reason? |
44377 | There is, boys, something well worth attention; did you ever see a mask? |
44377 | This is very strange, Uncle Philip: the hair is smooth; how can my fingers make it move so? |
44377 | This is very wonderful: but you said something about large trenches or gutters underground; what are they, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, do these birds all use the same things to make their nests? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, does the pinc- pinc build its nest like a bottle, as the Cape- tit does? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, how do the birds make the hairs lie smooth in their places? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, how do the young bees get out when the egg is hatched? 44377 Uncle Philip, there are no ships among animals, are there?" |
44377 | Uncle Philip, what is all this built of? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, what is that pocket for? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, what is the saw made of? |
44377 | Uncle Philip, why do they call it the politician? 44377 Uncle Philip, you said that the moth pulled this hair off to cover its eggs; are they easily frozen?" |
44377 | Very true, boys: so his feet, then, you now think, were made for spades, and not for paddles? |
44377 | Well, Uncle Philip, will you tell us the truth about it? |
44377 | Well, how could a kite help a man to get learning? 44377 Well, what is it?" |
44377 | Well; and did you find any? |
44377 | What are his spades, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What are these for? |
44377 | What are they doing, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What are they, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What book is it, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What does it do, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What good pincers those are, Uncle Philip: but will you tell us one thing which we wish to know? 44377 What insect is it, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | What is a microscope? |
44377 | What is it for, then, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What is it that he uses, then? |
44377 | What is it, Uncle Philip? 44377 What is it, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | What is it, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What is it, boys? |
44377 | What is it, what is it, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What is it? |
44377 | What is it? |
44377 | What is it? |
44377 | What is propolis, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | What is that for? |
44377 | What sort of an ant is it? |
44377 | What_ did_ they do, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Where does it get the mortar, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Where does it put its eggs, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Who sends you to school, boys, and pays your teachers for instructing you? |
44377 | Why did she wish her house not to be found out, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Why do they work in the rain, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Why so, Uncle Philip? |
44377 | Why, Uncle Philip, are you sure he got them at all? |
44377 | Why, Uncle Philip, is the air heavy? |
44377 | Why, how high are they? |
44377 | Why, what is the matter? |
44377 | Why, what tool is it that you can not find among them, Uncle Philip? 44377 Why, with a lancet, to be sure; what should a doctor use but a lancet to let blood?" |
44377 | Will you have the goodness, Uncle Philip, to tell us what it meant? |
44377 | Yes, I see, boys: do you think that men had the first spades in the world? |
44377 | Yes, Uncle Philip; a philosopher is the same thing with a very wise man, is it not? |
44377 | Ah, we like that: pray let us hear of them; what are they?" |
44377 | And now what will you say when I tell you that a poor little spider did all these things long before man did?" |
44377 | And now, boys, what do you think about the use of these little pockets?" |
44377 | And now, such of you as will, may keep a look- out for curious things, while the rest of us will talk together.--Boys, do any of you know Tom Smith?" |
44377 | And there is your poor little ugly insect that you thought it right to kill, the spider; did you know that the spider was a sailor, too?" |
44377 | And what of that? |
44377 | At one of these meetings, one of them asked the others,''_ Why_ a fish weighed more_ in_ the water than he did_ out_ of it?'' |
44377 | But before you go, tell me-- can any of you inform me what the Bible says about the ant?" |
44377 | But how often do you suppose that you have seen a bat?" |
44377 | But if the ant knew how to think as a man does, do you suppose it would ever have made the mistake? |
44377 | But there is a sweet little bird, boys, quite common in our own country, which makes felt: would you like to hear of it?" |
44377 | But what has that to do with the story about the spider?" |
44377 | But what kind of work is it they do?" |
44377 | But what will you say about gnats, when I tell you that they have a tool to work with, and a very perfect one, too?" |
44377 | But where do they get the tools?" |
44377 | But will not the hinge wear out at last?" |
44377 | But you have said nothing yet about_ needles_; how do these little creatures sew?" |
44377 | But-- but--""But what, boys?" |
44377 | Can they be comfortable without working?" |
44377 | Can you tell me now why some people call the fly- catcher a politician?" |
44377 | Can you tell us any thing more about this animal, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Did he read the old newspapers it was made of? |
44377 | Did you ever hear of him?" |
44377 | Did you ever see a spy- glass? |
44377 | Did you ever take notice of a bat?" |
44377 | Did you find out any thing about them?" |
44377 | Did you not?" |
44377 | Do not you think there was good sense in that?" |
44377 | Do you hear that noise?" |
44377 | Do you know how a hat is made?" |
44377 | Do you know of any of them that can bore holes?" |
44377 | Do you know what a cylinder is?" |
44377 | Do you not see how some of these little fellows are rolling themselves over in the inside of the flowers, so that the yellow dust is sticking to them? |
44377 | Do you remember my telling you of a gentleman who watched the little cloak- maker to see how he made his garment? |
44377 | Do you remember what insect that was?" |
44377 | Do you think he deserves to be killed for doing it?" |
44377 | Do you think the reasons are good ones?" |
44377 | Do you think you understand me?" |
44377 | Have you any lessons to say when you go into school on Monday?" |
44377 | I am very glad of it; for as this is a leisure day, we shall have time enough to talk: but what is that you have there? |
44377 | I expect he was a naturalist; was he, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | I have read a story about this very thing: would you like to hear it?" |
44377 | If you had not had them, you could not have taken hold of the splinter with your fingers; and what would you have done then?" |
44377 | Is that right?" |
44377 | Is the point of a needle coarse? |
44377 | Is there any saw among these little fellows?" |
44377 | Is this the way a ship goes, Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Now, boys, before this country was settled by people from Europe, where do you suppose the starling got silk and thread for his nest?" |
44377 | Pray tell us of it, will you?" |
44377 | That is fair, is it not?" |
44377 | The Bible does not say a boy shall not play the truant, does it?" |
44377 | The New Testament does not say any thing about your going to school; does it?" |
44377 | Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Uncle Philip?" |
44377 | Was anybody with him?" |
44377 | What animal is it that has a spade?" |
44377 | What animal is it?" |
44377 | What bird is it?" |
44377 | What did it mean?" |
44377 | What do they fight about?" |
44377 | What do you think now?" |
44377 | What does it steal?" |
44377 | What does that mean?" |
44377 | What is a politician?" |
44377 | What is the trade that you think you have discovered?" |
44377 | Whenever any one gives you a reason for a thing, just ask yourselves,''Is this a good reason?''" |
44377 | Where do you wish to go?" |
44377 | Who made these little creatures with such curious skill, and taught them to work so well? |
44377 | Will not the water wash the mortar all away?" |
44377 | Will you look at nothing but what is handsome? |
44377 | You know what that word means, do you not?" |
44377 | You know where a great many of our duties are very plainly written down for us; do you not?" |
44377 | [ Illustration]"Then, Uncle Philip, the spider does not spin its thread all at once?" |
44377 | [ Illustration]"Uncle Philip, is there any thing else curious about this insect?" |
44377 | how do you do? |
44377 | shall we draw it down?" |
44377 | what are their slaves, and where did they get them?" |
44377 | what is that for?" |
44377 | who ever heard of covering a thing up in hair or wool to keep off heat?" |
3754 | Well, then? |
3754 | And how does this same mill also turn out plain threads, wrought first into a framework and then into muslin and satin? |
3754 | And how often? |
3754 | And how? |
3754 | And these others, so eager for plunder? |
3754 | And these, clad in black velvet? |
3754 | And these, noisily buzzing with a sudden flight? |
3754 | And, first of all, what sites do these builders select for their homes? |
3754 | Apart from sight and smell, what remains to guide them in returning to the nest? |
3754 | Are not those who accept them as reliable testimony a little over- simple? |
3754 | Bearing this point in mind, would it be possible for me, by manoeuvring, to obtain an inversion of this order and make the laying begin with males? |
3754 | Besides, is it really a corpse that the Epeira wants, she who feeds on blood much more than on flesh? |
3754 | Besides, what good would those short- sighted lenses be in the absence of light, in black darkness? |
3754 | Busy with what? |
3754 | But are these two little stories really true? |
3754 | But does this rule express the whole truth? |
3754 | But how populate the cage? |
3754 | But is that all? |
3754 | But what did the caterpillar eat before our cabbages supplied him with copious provender? |
3754 | But what manner of prey? |
3754 | But, if the beak were entirely closed, where would the eggs be laid then? |
3754 | Can he be unscathed, in spite of the sort of kiss which I saw given to him just now? |
3754 | Can he turn it on or down or put it out as he pleases? |
3754 | Can it be a manifestation of gaiety, when the wanton sun warms their full paunches? |
3754 | Can it be done? |
3754 | Can it be their method of intimidating an always possible aggressor? |
3754 | Can it smell? |
3754 | Can one even be sure that the one to disappear returns and forms one of the band? |
3754 | Can our friend at least tell us how"the Little Belly"or"the Incomplete"gets into the caterpillar? |
3754 | Can she be apprised of the depth of the chasm by the comparative faintness of the offensive odours that arise from it? |
3754 | Can the animal be deceived by the soft contact of the cork? |
3754 | Can the family of the White Butterfly be settled on other Crucifers than the cabbage? |
3754 | Can the nature of the floor make any difference to her? |
3754 | Can the sense of smell measure the distance and judge whether it be acceptable or not? |
3754 | Can the structure, perchance, be obeying other rules than those of environment? |
3754 | Can the theory of chances play a part in the hazy problem? |
3754 | Can they? |
3754 | Can things sometimes be the same in the open fields, where I play none of my tricks? |
3754 | Could they not, like other caterpillars, walk about without these costly preparations? |
3754 | Did I guess aright when I judged that it was a fatty substance that preserved the Epeira from the snares of her sticky Catherine- wheel? |
3754 | Did he intend to allude to the insignificance of the abdomen? |
3754 | Did the Necrophori lay it bare with the express intention of causing it to fall? |
3754 | Do they involve the consequences deduced from them? |
3754 | Do you give it up? |
3754 | Do you or do you not enjoy gleams of reason? |
3754 | Does he choose the most practicable places? |
3754 | Does he in point of fact explore the country? |
3754 | Does it compare? |
3754 | Does it reason? |
3754 | Does not this placid quiescence point to the absence of a sense of smell? |
3754 | Does she fear lest her worms should be bruised by an excessive drop? |
3754 | Does she give up hunting during this period of bright sunlight? |
3754 | Does she invite them to the banquet when she has secured a prize? |
3754 | Does the Epeira know the secret of fatty substances? |
3754 | Does the Lycosa at least feed the younglings who, for seven months, swarm upon her back? |
3754 | Does the Spider kill the patient with a view to avoiding unseasonable jerks, protests so disagreeable at dinner- time? |
3754 | Does the insect which stores up provisions proportionate to the needs of the egg which it is about to lay know beforehand the sex of that egg? |
3754 | Does the stench of the meat not spread, coming from that depth? |
3754 | Does this mean that the tenderest and most succulent morsels are chosen? |
3754 | Eager to arrive, do they drop from the top of the wall? |
3754 | Every instinctive action no doubt has its motive; but does the animal in the first place judge whether the action is opportune? |
3754 | For whom or for what will our squibs be spluttering a few years hence? |
3754 | From what height will the Flesh- fly dare to let her children drop? |
3754 | Had my captives invited him? |
3754 | Has he an opaque screen which is drawn over the flame at will, or is that flame always left exposed? |
3754 | Has it really perceived the mechanism of suspension? |
3754 | Has the Glow- worm a free control of the light which he emits? |
3754 | Has the Processional any olfactory powers or has he not? |
3754 | Hatched inside the trunk, will the long- horned insect be able to clear itself a way of escape? |
3754 | Have they done the trick this time? |
3754 | Have you guessed it? |
3754 | Have you within you the humble germ of human thought? |
3754 | How are they to find one another afterwards and become a community again? |
3754 | How are we to protect our gardens against it? |
3754 | How do they know? |
3754 | How does she lay her eggs, the origin of the loathsome maggot that battens poisonously on our provisions whether of game or butcher''s meat? |
3754 | How does the Pieris manage to know her way about her botanical domain? |
3754 | How is she apprised? |
3754 | How is the silken matter moulded into a capillary tube? |
3754 | How is this brought about? |
3754 | How is this long period of solitude and captivity spent? |
3754 | How is this tube filled with glue and tightly twisted? |
3754 | How to feed them? |
3754 | If I persuaded them to bite me, what would happen to me? |
3754 | If nothing is logically arranged with a foreseen object, how is this clear vision of the invisible acquired? |
3754 | If some giddy- pate allow himself to be caught, will the Spider, at the distance whereto she has retired, be unable to take advantage of the windfall? |
3754 | If the eyes are insufficient guides, even close at hand, how will it be when the prey has to be spied from afar? |
3754 | If the stem allows itself to be allured, why not the root? |
3754 | In a century or two, will any one, outside the historians, give a thought to the taking of the Bastille? |
3754 | Instead of asking the animal what its name is, let us begin by asking:"What can you do? |
3754 | Is he advising his collaborators of what he has discovered? |
3754 | Is he arranging matters with a view to their establishing themselves elsewhere, on propitious soil? |
3754 | Is it a dead leaf blown along by the wind? |
3754 | Is it a dream, or the anticipation of a remote reality? |
3754 | Is it an animal, a fluff of wool, a cluster of small seeds fastened to one another? |
3754 | Is it because of this dainty that the prey''s abdomen is preferred to any other morsel? |
3754 | Is the Snail really dead? |
3754 | Is the insect capable of doing so? |
3754 | Is the mother absolutely powerless to make a change in this arrangement, should circumstances require it? |
3754 | Is there nothing beyond a laying in two series? |
3754 | Is this culinary procedure undertaken in respect of the larvae, which might be incommoded by the fur? |
3754 | Is this manoeuvre really thought out? |
3754 | Is this so? |
3754 | It remembered, compared, judged, reasoned: does the drowsily digesting paunch remember? |
3754 | Might there not be an insect science of aesthetics? |
3754 | Might we not one day be able to benefit from this hint? |
3754 | Now what do the youngsters do, while their mother is being eaten? |
3754 | Of poor intellectual repute, does the Turkey deserve his name for stupidity? |
3754 | Of what use can this singular fare be to the budding caterpillar? |
3754 | Once more, with what do the little ones keep up their strength? |
3754 | Or are his hesitations merely the result of the absence of a guiding thread on ground that has not yet been covered? |
3754 | Or did they, on the contrary, dig at its base solely in order to bury that part of the mole which lay on the ground? |
3754 | Or is it just a casual result, a mere loss of hair due to putridity? |
3754 | Or is it not so? |
3754 | Or is the truth even more paradoxical? |
3754 | Shall I be able to speak of you again? |
3754 | The sting most certainly has played its part; but where? |
3754 | Then what are we to do? |
3754 | Then what explanation shall I give of the wonderful facts which I have set forth? |
3754 | Then what shall the nature of the first food be? |
3754 | Then when will the deliverance come? |
3754 | Then why are they there? |
3754 | Then why does the Flesh- fly, who but now was dropping her grubs from a goodly height, refuse to let them fall from the top of a column twice as high? |
3754 | Then with what are they sustained, during their seven months''upbringing on the mother''s back? |
3754 | To what cause are these profound moral differences due, when the organic structure is the same? |
3754 | To what shall we attribute the heat expended upon action, when the animal takes absolutely no nourishment? |
3754 | We can understand the object of the feminine beacon; but of what use is all the rest of the pyrotechnic display? |
3754 | We fall back upon a special sense to explain the Ammophila''s hunting; what can we fall back upon to account for this intuition of the future? |
3754 | We will begin by asking:"How do you manage to lodge your germs inside the caterpillar?" |
3754 | What are her stratagems and how can we foil them? |
3754 | What artifice can we then employ to provoke this second permutation? |
3754 | What bird- catcher could vie with the Garden Spider in the art of laying lime- snares? |
3754 | What can be the nature of that singular lid whereof the Cerambyx furnishes me with the first specimen? |
3754 | What can be the psychology of a creature possessing such a powerful digestive organism combined with such a feeble set of senses? |
3754 | What can the caterpillars in the conservatory be doing? |
3754 | What can the grub''s palate appreciate in this monotonous fare? |
3754 | What could we do? |
3754 | What did they want for their putrefaction? |
3754 | What do they feed on? |
3754 | What do your flanks contain? |
3754 | What does he find before him? |
3754 | What does it know of the outside world? |
3754 | What does she pick up? |
3754 | What does the Devilkin want with that monstrous pointed cap, than which no wise man of the East, no astrologer of old ever wore a more splendiferous? |
3754 | What drop will good fortune sprinkle on my Processionaries to dissolve their circle and bring them back to the nest? |
3754 | What exactly was in the mind of the author of the name Microgaster, which means little belly? |
3754 | What has become of the other two, both males? |
3754 | What have the lessons of touch and taste contributed to that rudimentary receptacle of impressions? |
3754 | What have we learnt from him? |
3754 | What is his manner of consuming it? |
3754 | What is his object in thus sponging himself, in dusting and polishing himself so carefully? |
3754 | What is lacking to complete its happiness? |
3754 | What is the object of this circular motion? |
3754 | What is the purpose of this turret? |
3754 | What is the reason? |
3754 | What is the use of all this luxury? |
3754 | What is their home, in point of fact? |
3754 | What is this state of things? |
3754 | What is wanted to keep the maggots out? |
3754 | What is your business?" |
3754 | What name shall we give to that form of existence which, for a time, abolishes the power of movement and the sense of pain? |
3754 | What sign denotes that one of the five who was able, in so rational a manner, to appeal for help? |
3754 | What the Bee of the brambles does can not her kinswomen of the reeds do too? |
3754 | What tricks can I play upon them? |
3754 | What were they doing there, all these feverish workers? |
3754 | What will become of these little bodies and of so many other pitiful remnants of life? |
3754 | What will it yield, a male or a female? |
3754 | What will the caterpillars do on this deceptive, closed path? |
3754 | What will the latter do? |
3754 | What will they teach me? |
3754 | What would it be if they had to pass through a thickness of oak? |
3754 | What would it do with sight in the murky thickness of a tree- trunk? |
3754 | What, then, did the owner of the Frog of whom Gledditsch tells us really see? |
3754 | When calm is restored, she resumes her attitude, ceaselessly pondering the harsh problem of life:"Shall I dine to- day, or not?" |
3754 | Whence did it derive the motives of its actions? |
3754 | Where sounds are lacking, of what use is the faculty of discerning them? |
3754 | Whereof does this operation consist? |
3754 | Whither is he going, dragging himself along, incapable of jumping, thanks to the weight of his load? |
3754 | Who does not know it, at least by name? |
3754 | Who has not seen it roam amid the grass, like a spark fallen from the moon at its full? |
3754 | Who is this one? |
3754 | Who shall decide? |
3754 | Who would look for virtue in such a quarter? |
3754 | Who would say? |
3754 | Why are these little pebbles preferred to chips of lime- stone, when both materials are found in equal abundance around the nest? |
3754 | Why can not I read what passes under his black, shiny skull, so like a drop of tar to look at? |
3754 | Why not live on sun, seeing that, after all, we find naught but sun in the fruits which we consume? |
3754 | Why prolong the agony of the impotent and the imbecile? |
3754 | Why should not physical science step in as well? |
3754 | Why this nice finish, if the builder be wholly absorbed in the solidity of her work? |
3754 | Why this unequal supply, which gives a double portion to one larva and a single portion to another? |
3754 | Why, indeed, did I forsake you so long? |
3754 | Why, moreover, does this line always start in the centre of the sticky network and nowhere else? |
3754 | Why? |
3754 | Why? |
3754 | Will his example find imitators? |
3754 | Will my caterpillars show a little of his mother wit? |
3754 | Will my strength not cheat my good intentions? |
3754 | Will the Capricorns come out, or not? |
3754 | Will the Spider be able to know the one that belongs to her? |
3754 | Will the find thus suspended by the hazard of its fall remain unemployed? |
3754 | Will the grave- digger find himself reduced to impotence by such an impediment, which must be an extremely common one? |
3754 | Will they be accepted, if supplied by my stratagems? |
3754 | Will they scrape at the foot of the gibbet in order to overturn it? |
3754 | Will they succeed in leaving the enchanted circle? |
3754 | Will they walk endlessly round and round until their strength gives out entirely? |
3754 | Will they, after many attempts, be able to break the equilibrium of their closed circuit, which keeps them on a road without a turning? |
3754 | With these arrangements, are we sure of warding off the Fly and her vermin? |
3754 | Without a good dose of this quality, a mental defect in the eyes of practical folk, who would busy himself with the lesser creatures? |
3754 | Would we behold her works? |
3754 | my busy insects, to enable me to add yet a few seemly pages to your history? |
27868 | Suppose it were_ that_? 27868 370 XV SUICIDE OR HYPNOSIS? 27868 And are the noises of the outside world propagated through half an inch of wood in such a way as to make differences perceptible? 27868 And which is the Mulciber, the Vulcan, the artist- engraver that engraves the covering of the egg so prettily? 27868 And why should it change, this instinct, so logical in its workings? 27868 Are not those who accept them as sound evidence just a little too simple? 27868 Are these really the larvæ that turn into the pseudochrysalids? 27868 Besides, why should he need special defensive artifices? 27868 But are these two anecdotes really true? 27868 But how to stock the cage? 27868 But in that case what exquisite subtlety must we not take for granted? 27868 But is not this the invariable conclusion to which the study of instinct always leads us? 27868 But is this influence so powerful as they say? 27868 But then why do the cells usurped by the Sitares retain not the slightest trace of the forcible entry which is indispensable? 27868 But to which of the insects shall we go first? 27868 But what am I saying? 27868 But what conditions? 27868 But what is this curious shell in which the Sitaris is invariably enclosed, a shell unexampled in the Beetle order? 27868 By what sense then can they distinguish the thorax of an Anthophora from a velvety pellet, when sight and touch are out of the question? 27868 CHAPTER XV SUICIDE OR HYPNOSIS? 27868 Can he be threatened by the birds? 27868 Can he owe his long period of inertia to the fact that he is one of the Tenebrionidæ, or Darkling Beetles? 27868 Can he turn it on or down or put it out as he pleases? 27868 Can it be need of food that drives it from the substratum and sends it to the sunlight so soon as the wing- cases have assumed their vermilion hue? 27868 Can it be sound? 27868 Can it be that my hypnotic tricks are less efficacious with small birds than with large ones? 27868 Can it be the temperature? 27868 Can it be weight? 27868 Can it smell? 27868 Can the comparative frequency of this or the other provender have brought about the formation of two trade- guilds? 27868 Can the structure, perchance, be obeying other rules than those of environment? 27868 Can these armour- wearers, so sturdy in appearance, be weaklings? 27868 Can these be the sowing of a bandit, the spawn of a Midge? 27868 Can they be as harmless as their peaceful frolics seem to proclaim? 27868 Can they? 27868 Can this be because the jewel of the pampas dispenses with the father''s collaboration? 27868 Can we even be sure that the one to disappear returns and forms one of the band? 27868 Can you be a knacker, a worker in putrid sausage- meat, like_ Phanæus Milon_? 27868 Could the Clythra, an exceptional ceramic artist, work without a base and without a guide? 27868 Could there be a similarity of habits between the two kinds of insects? 27868 Did the Necrophori lay it bare with the express purpose of making it fall? 27868 Do my Goose, my Turkey and the others resort to trickery with the object of deceiving their tormentor? 27868 Do they involve the consequences deduced from them? 27868 Do they judge their new lodging by sight? 27868 Do you or do you not enjoy gleams of reason? 27868 Does he serve an apprenticeship? 27868 Does he work badly at first, then a little better and then well? 27868 Does it compare? 27868 Does it contain the dead insect? 27868 Does it contain the grub, shrivelled by desiccation? 27868 Does it fast during the extreme heat? 27868 Does it reason? 27868 Does it work on the same principles? 27868 Does not this placid quiescence point to the absence of a sense of smell? 27868 Does the grub employ it to keep itself cool, to protect itself against the attacks of the sun? 27868 Does the perturbing problem of an end occur to its dense brain? 27868 Does the trajectory imply the minimum of work? 27868 Does the wood guide the insect, adult or larva, by its structure? 27868 Ebony, metal, the gem: have they the same origin here then? 27868 Every instinctive action no doubt has its motive; but does the animal in the first place judge whether the action is opportune? 27868 For on what are we to base our conviction when we imagine that we are stating a law? 27868 From this muddle shall we draw a conclusion which will set our minds at rest? 27868 Furthermore, have these talents developed by degrees? 27868 Had my captives invited this one? 27868 Has he an opaque screen which is drawn over the flame at will, or is that flame always left exposed? 27868 Has it a compass? 27868 Has it actually perceived the mechanism of the hanging? 27868 Has it the power to foresee an ending, an attribute which in its case would be inconvenient and useless? 27868 Has the Glow- worm a free control of the light which he emits? 27868 Has the puny creature a name? 27868 Has there been an internecine battle inside the poor wretch''s body? 27868 Has this pigmy of the family the same talents as the giant, the ravager of the oak- tree? 27868 Hatched inside the trunk, will the long- horned Beetle be able to clear itself a way of escape? 27868 Have the nomenclators catalogued it? 27868 Have they eaten one another up, leaving only the strongest to survive, or the one most favoured by the chances of the fight? 27868 Have we done the trick this time? 27868 Have you the bucolic tastes of your rival in finery, the Splendid Phanæus? 27868 Have you within you the humble germ of human thought? 27868 How can time and experience be factors of instinct? 27868 How did the Lamb become a Wolf? 27868 How did we, the little Rodez schoolboys, learn the secret of the Turkey''s slumber? 27868 How does the Lily- beetle live during the summer, before the return of the green foliage dear to its race? 27868 How does the clumsy insect manage to accomplish so delicate and complex a piece of building? 27868 How does the pigmy measure the enormous monument that is the human body? 27868 How does the wood- eating insect guide itself in the thickness of a tree- trunk? 27868 How has this tiny creature made its way from the underground lodging where the eggs are hatched to the fleece of a Bee? 27868 How is it that this object, whatever the quality of its surface, will sometimes suit them and sometimes not? 27868 How is this long period of solitude and captivity spent? 27868 How many were there on the larva''s back? 27868 How then do they recognize the nature of the object to which they have just moved? 27868 How will the germ and the young larva manage to breathe under that clay casing, which intercepts the access of the air? 27868 I ought to have expected this: had I not just seen them wandering without pause upon the everlastings enveloped with cottony flock? 27868 If it has nothing to serve as a mould and a base, how does it set to work to assemble the first layers of paste into a neatly- shaped cup? 27868 If its baby- flannel is so good to start with, what will the future ulster be, when the stuff, brought to perfection, is of much better quality? 27868 If the creature were really shamming, what need would it have of these minute preliminaries to the awakening? 27868 If they have issued from the same stock, how have they acquired such dissimilar talents? 27868 If they spring from a common stock, how did the consumption of flesh supplant the consumption of honey? 27868 In its present state, of what use would eyes be to it at the bottom of a clay cell, where the most absolute darkness prevails? 27868 In what diggings does it find its gold nuggets? 27868 Is he advising his collaborators of what he has discovered? 27868 Is he arranging the work with a view to their establishing themselves elsewhere, on propitious soil? 27868 Is instinct derived from the organ, or is the organ instinct''s servant? 27868 Is it by touch, by some sensation due to the inner vibrations of living flesh? 27868 Is it really a group of eggs? 27868 Is it the capsule of a plant, from which the lid has dropped, allowing the seeds to fall? 27868 Is it the grub''s object to disgust its enemies? 27868 Is it the stone of some unknown fruit, emptied of its kernel by the patient tooth of the Field- mouse? 27868 Is the Scorpion dead? 27868 Is the Snail really dead? 27868 Is the compass a chemical influence, or electrical, or calorific, or what not? 27868 Is the difficulty of pairing in a transversal position the explanation of the long grappling- irons thrown out to a distance? 27868 Is the insect capable of doing so? 27868 Is there any one in the world who can flatter himself that he has escaped the spoiler? 27868 Is there not something here to guide the sapper? 27868 Is there on this side of the dividing line a paint- stuff and on the other side a dye- stuff, absolutely different in character from the first? 27868 Is this a matter of practice, or is it an increase of cunning employed in the hope of finally tiring a too persistent enemy? 27868 Is this culinary procedure undertaken in respect of the larvæ, which might be incommoded by the fur? 27868 Is this manoeuvre really thought out? 27868 It remembered, compared, judged, reasoned: does the drowsy, digesting paunch remember? 27868 Might we not one day be able to benefit by this hint? 27868 Need I add that the grub lies down and goes to sleep, for the nymphosis, with its head against the door? 27868 Now what can the gorgeous foreigner do? 27868 Now what do we find under the shelter of the oak? 27868 Now what symptoms herald their return to activity? 27868 O delightful days when we put the Turkeys to sleep, can I recover the skill which I then possessed? 27868 Of poor intellectual repute, does the Turkey deserve his name for stupidity? 27868 Of what use are these obstacles? 27868 Or can it be simply a caprice of fashion, an outlandish fancy? 27868 Or did they, on the contrary, dig at its base solely in order to bury that part of the Mole which lay on the ground? 27868 Or is it just a casual result, a mere loss of hair due to putridity? 27868 Safety? 27868 The radiating denticulations of the forehead, the insect''s gambols in the bright sunlight? 27868 The sound of what, in the silence of solitude? 27868 Their meal? 27868 Then what can be the meaning of this pseudochrysalid stage, which, when passed, leads precisely to the point of departure? 27868 Then what do you want, you fiendish little creatures? 27868 Then why are they there? 27868 There is the eternal question, if we do not rise above the commonplace: how did the insect acquire so wise an art? 27868 They obtain nothing, therefore, from the Anthophora''s body; but perhaps they nibble her fleece, even as the Bird- lice nibble the birds''feathers? 27868 This again is possible: who would venture to set tooth to such a heap of filth? 27868 This love of tropical temperature suggests the following question: what would happen if I were to chill the creature in its immobile posture? 27868 To adorn itself like this, in what Golconda does the insect gather its gems? 27868 To go from the murky heart of the tree to the sun- steeped bark, why does he not follow a straight line? 27868 Under ordinary conditions would the adult Oil- beetle have emerged from her cell at this period? 27868 Under these conditions can the pill- shaped cell be constructed? 27868 Was I wrong? 27868 Was it, so far as they were concerned, a choice dictated by the foresight of instinct, or just simply the result of a lucky chance? 27868 Was the passage also carried through the bark? 27868 We can understand the object of the feminine beacon; but of what use is all the rest of the pyrotechnic display? 27868 Well, has the insect, or rather, has any kind of animal, a presentiment that its life can not last for ever? 27868 Were they very wrong? 27868 What are the two inseparables doing? 27868 What becomes of it once the egg is exhausted? 27868 What becomes of its excretions? 27868 What can be the nature of that singular lid whereof the Cerambyx furnishes me with the first specimen? 27868 What can be the psychology of a creature possessing such a powerful digestive organism combined with such a feeble set of senses? 27868 What can be the visual impression of the insect when face to face with that monstrosity, man? 27868 What can he do? 27868 What can the grub''s palate appreciate in this monotonous fare? 27868 What can this envelope be, so remarkable for its elegance, with its spiral mouldings, its thimble- pits and its hop- scales? 27868 What can this something be, unless it be food? 27868 What did the Megathopæ, the Bolbites, the Splendid Phanæus eat and knead, before the arrival of the present purveyor? 27868 What do these imprints mean? 27868 What do your flanks contain? 27868 What does he find before him? 27868 What does it care for our hunting, whether we be children or scientists? 27868 What does it keep in the back- shop? 27868 What does it know of the outside world? 27868 What does it want? 27868 What does the little that we have learnt teach us? 27868 What has become of the other two, both males? 27868 What has become of the others? 27868 What has the Clythra wherewith to achieve its ideal jewel? 27868 What have the lessons of touch and taste contributed to that rudimentary receptacle of impressions? 27868 What have we learnt from him? 27868 What is his manner of consuming it? 27868 What is his object in thus sponging himself, in dusting and polishing himself so carefully? 27868 What is it seeking? 27868 What is it? 27868 What is the object of these extravagant arms, these curious grappling- irons out of all proportion to the insect''s size? 27868 What is the purpose of this nasty great- coat? 27868 What is there behind all this? 27868 What name shall we give to that form of existence which, for a time, abolishes the power of movement and the sense of pain? 27868 What shall I give my famished nurselings? 27868 What sign denotes that one of the five who was able, in so rational a manner, to call for help? 27868 What then is the guide? 27868 What trade do you follow under your torrid sun, O gleaming carbuncle? 27868 What use would it have for such a prerogative, loving repose as it does and destined to put on fat in its cell, without roaming in quest of food? 27868 What were they doing there, all these feverish workers? 27868 What will be the result of the experiment? 27868 What will become of these little bodies and so many other pitiful remnants of life? 27868 What will happen in the midst of that profound silence? 27868 What will the motionless insect do if I carry it thither, from my table to the window, into the bright light? 27868 What will they do now? 27868 What would happen under the natural conditions? 27868 What would it be if they had to pass through a thickness of oak? 27868 What would it do with sight, in the murky thickness of a tree- trunk? 27868 What would the Decticus do with nutritive reserves, seeing that he is near his end, now that the nuptial season has arrived? 27868 What, then, did the man with the Frog, of whom Gleditsch tells us, really see? 27868 When Macleay[25] gave the Sacred Beetle the name of Heliocantharus, the Black- beetle of the Sun, what had he in mind? 27868 When and how did it get in? 27868 When and how does it deliver its attack? 27868 When will she wake up? |
27868 | Whence did it derive the motives of its actions? |
27868 | Where could it find, even with chance assisting, a better plan? |
27868 | Where sounds are lacking, of what use is the faculty of discerning them? |
27868 | Who does not know it, at least by name? |
27868 | Who has not seen it roam amid the grass, like a spark fallen from the moon at its full? |
27868 | Who will explain to me this predilection for the Orthopteron in a tribe whose chief, the Oil- beetle, accepts nothing but the mess of honey? |
27868 | Who would look for virtue in such a quarter? |
27868 | Why do insects which appear close together in all our classifications possess such opposite tastes? |
27868 | Why not? |
27868 | Why not? |
27868 | Why prolong the agony of the impotent and the imbecile? |
27868 | Why should not the insect''s organism, so delicate and subtle, give way beneath the grip of fear and momentarily succumb? |
27868 | Will it be the same, because of similarity of structure, with other members of the same group? |
27868 | Will it once more cover me with confusion? |
27868 | Will the Capricorns come out, or not? |
27868 | Will the find thus hanging where it chances to fall remain unemployed? |
27868 | Will the grave- digger find himself helpless against such an obstacle, which must be an extremely common one? |
27868 | Will the insect pick itself up? |
27868 | Will they scrape at the foot of the gibbet in order to overturn it? |
27868 | With what natural enemy shall I confront the big Scarites, motionless on his back? |
27868 | Without a good dose of this quality, a mental defect in the eyes of practical folk, who would busy himself with the lesser creatures? |
27868 | Would it not be possible to find a defensive system of equal value without resorting to detestable filth? |
27868 | [ 4] But what can such a cuirass avail against the bandit''s ruthless pincers? |
44287 | Then, at bottom, the government will be democratic? |
44287 | What key?--and how? |
44287 | What say you? 44287 Who would not respect the misfortune of such blameless and over- eager workers? |
44287 | ***** Has modern science swept away the ancient poesy? |
44287 | ***** Have they any sympathies beyond their own race? |
44287 | ***** Was he dead, or stunned? |
44287 | A true palace, or rather a vast and superb city; limited in breadth, but to what depth may it not penetrate the earth? |
44287 | All this seems clear, does it not? |
44287 | An ant''s existence? |
44287 | And I myself, what am I but an atom? |
44287 | And for what purpose, if love itself ought to appear without an intermediary? |
44287 | And how understand the latter without studying side by side the inferior animals which translate and explain disease? |
44287 | And how? |
44287 | And that, having once forsaken it, they think of it no more? |
44287 | And what are the numbers of these? |
44287 | And what reason? |
44287 | And what, then, of the quadrupeds? |
44287 | And where is it more perceptible than in the infinite travail of the little organic world on which our eyes were fixed? |
44287 | And wherefore should they economize, when to- morrow they die? |
44287 | And wherefore? |
44287 | And why? |
44287 | And yet I can not fly from them: swarms haunt the very air which I breathe,--what do I say? |
44287 | And, therefore, it is most indubitably its individual being which it courageously leaves to shrivel up and perish, to become-- what? |
44287 | Are we two? |
44287 | But can one see into such delicate mysteries with the eye alone? |
44287 | But how can they avoid the air? |
44287 | But how do they appreciate this? |
44287 | But how was it to be done? |
44287 | But how? |
44287 | But in the noonday heat will she remain inactive? |
44287 | But is_ maternity_ all? |
44287 | But then how can we put the invisible point in an invisible object? |
44287 | But what do the latter? |
44287 | But what do they feed them with? |
44287 | But what does Nature think of it? |
44287 | But what is this divining- rod? |
44287 | But what of that? |
44287 | But where was the animal life of the forest? |
44287 | But who would suppose that this very circumstance would doom it to death? |
44287 | But, in reality, are these qualities of so contradictory a nature? |
44287 | Can I seize in their strange visage any trace of an intelligence which, judging by their works, so closely resembles our own? |
44287 | Can there be no exception to the pitiless law? |
44287 | Can you conceive of an insect with the sensibility and tenderness of the dog? |
44287 | Colour or gloss? |
44287 | Could it do so? |
44287 | Did she live? |
44287 | Do I mean that all slumbered in full confidence? |
44287 | Do I mean that you should copy these? |
44287 | Do you not see this little miracle, this dumb confidant of the grave, which makes us the mock of destiny? |

44287 | Does Europe perceive that quite a complete literature has sprung from Great Britain in the last twenty years? |
44287 | Does it exceed? |
44287 | Does it fall, as some have asserted, into complete demoralization? |
44287 | Does it seek to enjoy the sun? |
44287 | Does its heart-- for it has one-- beat after the fashion of mine? |
44287 | Does not all this wear the appearance of a free adhesion to the established order of things? |
44287 | Does not the feebleness of the sense of vision lead us astray? |
44287 | Does such a calamity entail a furious anarchy, a universal pillage of the people by the people themselves? |
44287 | Enfeebled and fatigued by so great a transformation, how shall it break through the too solid cradle which threatens to suffocate it? |
44287 | For what am I myself, but a worker? |
44287 | For what more powerfully consecrates existence, and renders it sympathetic, reverend, and sacred? |
44287 | Frightful? |
44287 | Has it completely eliminated the miraculous from nature? |
44287 | Has it the intelligence, the resource, and, at need, the power of innovation which the superior insects display under certain conditions? |
44287 | Has the insect a brain? |
44287 | Have I insisted too much upon my theme? |
44287 | Have our sciences been sufficiently attentive to this fact? |
44287 | Have they a physiognomy? |
44287 | How am I to exercise my wits to discover a mode of communicating with them? |
44287 | How could I reassure it? |

44287 | How does the insect express its intensity of vital force? |
44287 | How does the tree defend itself? |
44287 | How is this? |
44287 | How many workmen has it not since deprived, if not of life, at least of sight? |
44287 | How should aught be wanting for the illumination of the bridal- joy of the insect? |
44287 | How should this be? |
44287 | How well adapted to influence a woman!--But is this a fact? |
44287 | If the insect does not and will not speak to us, are we to suppose that it does not express the burning intensity of the life within it? |
44287 | In less than an hour commences the equally inclement evening, the frozen night,--nay, who knows? |
44287 | In this, then, do we not discern, as it were, a first glimpse of personality? |
44287 | In what manner, then, does he express himself? |
44287 | Is death ever otherwise? |
44287 | Is it a simple spy- glass? |
44287 | Is it not a new birth? |
44287 | Is it stature, then, which changes your moral judgments? |
44287 | Is it the evening, or is it a coming storm, which has changed them? |
44287 | Is not a substance so corrosive for others equally dangerous to themselves? |
44287 | Is the fixed and immovable mask, thus condemned to perpetual silence, that of a monster or a spectre? |
44287 | Is their work terminated? |
44287 | Is this all? |
44287 | Is this internal combat between the two lives, the animal and the vegetable, really understood? |
44287 | It matters not; for who shall rightly determine what is really great or little? |
44287 | It seemed to say,"Where am I?" |
44287 | It watched me closely with all its eight eyes, and propounded to itself the problem,"Is he, or is he not, an enemy?" |
44287 | Its senses are infinitely subtle, but do they resemble_ my_ senses? |
44287 | Life itself in its essence, in that sparkling beverage by which France diffuses joy over all the earth, whence comes it? |

44287 | Ought I to flatter myself that I can render it clearer than my masters have done? |
44287 | Shall I say it, however? |
44287 | Shall we affirm that they have quitted without regret the native land where they toiled so successfully? |
44287 | Should it be by gratings, or doors? |
44287 | Since when has it been planted here? |

44287 | Their virtues? |

44287 | These germs, though put aside, remain to me; too late for expansion in this life, perhaps, but in another,--who knows? |
44287 | They are now at rest, it is true; but are they not about to rise? |
44287 | This scale of heat, extending over forty degrees, what is it but a thermometer? |
44287 | Thought? |

18350 | And this-- will you have this? |
18350 | My dear master, how can I choose out of so many jewels, when each one is perfect in its beauty? 18350 What would you have me say?" |
18350 | (_ Melolontha fullo._)] Now what did the ancient naturalist mean by the term"fuller beetle"? |
18350 | Among the theorists of our day, is there any so far- sighted as to be able to solve this enigma? |
18350 | And by whom? |
18350 | And how, in a soil as dry as a cinder, is the plaster made with which the walls are covered? |
18350 | And the others? |
18350 | And the worker-- in what condition is it? |
18350 | And what did they find? |
18350 | And what without the blackbird and its rivalry of song were the reawakening of the woods in spring? |
18350 | And why? |
18350 | Are my beetles hoary with age? |
18350 | Are there not sometimes unexpected accidents? |
18350 | Are these splendid plumes merely items of finery, or do they really play a part in the perception of the effluvia which guide the lover? |
18350 | Are you afflicted with any kidney trouble, or are you swollen with dropsy, or have you need of some powerful diuretic? |
18350 | As one does not speak of the"egg- box"of the titmouse, meaning"the nest of the titmouse,"why should I invoke the box in speaking of the Mantis? |
18350 | Buried under this short column of powdery earth, will it be able to gain the surface? |
18350 | But at what stage does it take the first sip? |
18350 | But do they do so in order to help it? |
18350 | But do they respect one another when there is no previous wound? |
18350 | But does the Mantis really employ two secretions? |
18350 | But how are the two series of scales obtained, and the fissures, the gates of exit which they shelter? |
18350 | But how did it get there, so far from the point of entry? |
18350 | But how? |
18350 | But in the case of the Great Peacock or the Oak Eggar, what molecules are actually disengaged? |
18350 | But is not the material detached simply thrust back behind the excavator as the work progresses? |
18350 | But is the grub capable of fasting for any length of time when once hatched? |
18350 | But what are we to say in palliation of the vegetarians? |
18350 | But what are we to say of the Great Peacock moth and the Oak Eggar, both of which find their captive female? |
18350 | But what cares the Ant for this expression of sovereign contempt? |
18350 | But what is the object of this atrocious custom? |
18350 | But what were these four bundles of tissue while still enclosed in their sheaths? |
18350 | But you, which do you prefer?" |
18350 | By what aberration does the mother abandon her children to starvation on this totally insufficient vegetable? |
18350 | Can we speak of vision in this connection? |
18350 | Could this unfortunate creature have fled and saved himself, being thus attacked in the performance of his functions? |
18350 | Couldst thou eat it, with thy beak? |
18350 | Crook- fingers, big- bellies, what do you say, Who govern the world with the cash- box-- hey? |
18350 | Deceived by a fallacious odour, were they endeavouring to lay and establish their eggs as they would have done under the shelter of a corpse? |
18350 | Deprived of their antennæ, would they be able to find the captive, now placed at a considerable distance from her original position? |
18350 | Deprived of their beautiful plumes, were they ashamed to appear in the midst of their rivals, and to prefer their suits? |
18350 | Did it think out a plan and work out a scheme of its own devising? |
18350 | Did the ingenious insect conceive the undertaking? |
18350 | Did the two masters, in the unfettered gaiety of a language less reserved than our own, ever mention the virtues of the haricot? |
18350 | Did they halt in order to take a little nourishment by implanting their proboscis? |
18350 | Did they prove that the lack of antennæ rendered them incapable of finding the cage in which the prisoner waited? |
18350 | Did we receive, together with the vegetable, the name by which it is known in its native country? |
18350 | Did you come from Central Asia with the broad bean and the pea? |
18350 | Did you make part of that collection of seeds which the first pioneers of culture brought us from their gardens? |
18350 | Do they die a natural death, and do the survivors then clean out the bodies? |
18350 | Do they hear their brother gnawing at the walls of his lodging? |
18350 | Do they perish outside when the more precocious have one by one taken their places in their vegetable larder? |
18350 | Do they wish to take flight and escape? |
18350 | Do you suffer from any nephritic irritation or from stricture? |
18350 | Do you wish to convince yourself of the efficiency of this mechanism? |
18350 | Does he never perform useful work? |
18350 | Does it really terrify its prey? |
18350 | Does not this lack of growth during November, the mildest month of winter, prove that no nourishment is taken until the spring? |
18350 | Does she employ the rostrum to place the egg in its position at the base of the acorn? |
18350 | Does she perhaps emit vibrations of such delicacy or rapidity that only the most sensitive microphone could appreciate them? |
18350 | Does the bee count upon its sting? |
18350 | Does the female answer the chirp of her_ innamorata_ by a similar chirp? |
18350 | Does the insect really require to emit these resounding effusions, these vociferous avowals, in order to declare its passion? |
18350 | Does the lover make use of his faculty as a means of seduction and appeal? |
18350 | Does the word as a matter of fact come from the American Indians? |
18350 | Does the_ Hydnocystis_ possess a very keen odour, such as we should expect to give an unmistakable warning to the senses of the consumer? |
18350 | Does this actually mean that there are several grubs in the pea? |
18350 | Food? |
18350 | For example, who is there that does not, at least by hearsay, know the Cigale? |
18350 | For whom did I take it? |
18350 | From the moment when the chilblain and the nest of the Mantis were known by the same name were not the virtues of the latter obvious? |
18350 | From what vermin does he free our beds and borders? |
18350 | Had my butterflies apprehensions similar to Master Mouflard''s? |
18350 | Had the Great Peacock butterfly outstripped and anticipated mankind in this direction? |
18350 | How are they warned that the place is taken? |
18350 | How did so much material contrive to occupy so little space? |
18350 | How did they learn of what was happening in my study? |
18350 | How does the mother know that honey, in which she herself delights, is noxious to her young? |
18350 | How does this communal feast terminate? |
18350 | How far is this title deserved? |
18350 | How is it that the Mantis, for who knows how many ages, has been able to outstrip our physicists in this problem in calorics? |
18350 | How is it then that the acridian trusts to a hold so easily broken? |
18350 | How is the convexity of the cymbals altered? |
18350 | How many were there? |
18350 | How shall I dare to appear before the other dogs?" |
18350 | How then is the feeble vibration of the cymbals re- enforced until it becomes intolerable? |
18350 | How then is the sound engendered? |
18350 | I opened my eyes wide,"What is that?" |
18350 | If odour, as we understand it, is the dog''s only guide, how does he manage to follow that guide amidst all these totally different odours? |
18350 | If the root were to fail, and the reservoir of the intestine were exhausted, what would happen? |
18350 | In a word, does she, after her fashion, employ a system of wireless telegraphy? |
18350 | In her long embrace of the poisoned bee, how does Philanthus avoid this sting, which does not willingly give up its life without vengeance? |
18350 | In what fencing- school did the slayer learn that terrible upward thrust beneath the chin? |
18350 | Is he warned of the contents of the subsoil by a general emanation, by that fungoid effluvium common to all the species? |
18350 | Is it not thinkable that they are able to detect, in the gaseous atmosphere, floating particles that are not gaseous? |
18350 | Is it really an odour such as we perceive and understand? |
18350 | Is it really efficacious? |
18350 | Is it the only point that is vulnerable? |
18350 | Is it their custom to kill the wounded and to eviscerate such of their fellows as suffer damage? |
18350 | Is it to be found elsewhere? |
18350 | Is the honey- fed grub, inversely, killed by carnivorous diet? |
18350 | Is the presence of this source of sap fortuitous? |
18350 | Is the song a means of charming, of touching the hard of heart? |
18350 | Is this fluid, evacuated by the intestine, a product of urinary secretion-- simply the contents of a stomach nourished entirely upon sap? |
18350 | Is this practice of post- matrimonial cannibalism a general custom in the insect world? |
18350 | Is this the result of a struggle between rivals? |
18350 | May it not-- Yes!--But, after all, who knows? |
18350 | May not the central portion of the pea be the feeding- bottle of the Bruchid? |
18350 | Might not the Balaninus follow an analogous method? |
18350 | Must I amalgamate some more or less appropriate words of Greek and fabricate a portentous nomenclature? |
18350 | Must not the larva of the Cigale bore its passage in some such fashion? |
18350 | Now are we to take their interminable chant for a passionate love- song? |
18350 | Now the question arises: What is the object of these musical orgies? |
18350 | Now what has happened that these lives around the privileged one should be thus annihilated? |
18350 | Now, what does the Mantis do? |
18350 | Of the sixteen, how many returned to the cage that night? |
18350 | Or is it the result of deliberate choice on the part of the larva? |
18350 | Or is the population being reduced at the expense of sound and healthy insects? |
18350 | Organise something? |
18350 | Perhaps; but how are we to know? |
18350 | Sacred provocations of lovers, are they not in all ages the same? |
18350 | Scientific dreams? |
18350 | Shall we conclude that the Cigale is deaf? |
18350 | Shall we credit it to the Bruchus? |
18350 | Should I begin all over again in the fourth year? |
18350 | So again we will ask: by what process did the egg of the elephant- beetle reach a point so far from the orifice in the acorn? |
18350 | Then why this fruitless labour? |
18350 | They are peaceful intruders, to be sure; but even were they dangerous, did they threaten to rifle the nest, would she attack them and drive them away? |
18350 | Think you the ant will lend an ear? |
18350 | This archetype, the co- ordinator of forms; this primordial regulator; have you got it on the end of your syringe? |
18350 | This conjugal fidelity is delightful; but is it really the rule? |
18350 | To thee what matters winter? |
18350 | To what ideal height will the process of evolution lead mankind? |
18350 | To what should we attribute this superior fertility? |
18350 | To which of the two performers should the palm be given? |
18350 | To- day it is not my intention to sing your merits; I wish simply to ask you a question, being curious: What is the country of your origin? |
18350 | Under the shining head of the Decticus, behind the long face of the cricket, who is to say what is passing? |
18350 | Was I not right to insist? |
18350 | Was I to find such an insect? |
18350 | Was it confusion on their part, or want of guidance? |
18350 | Was it not rather exhaustion after an attempt exceeding the duration of an ephemeral passion? |
18350 | Was it to enjoy the spectacle of a frenzied massacre? |
18350 | Was the beak thrust into the depths of the base merely to obtain, from the choicer parts, a few sips of nutritious sap? |
18350 | Was the beetle piercing the fruit merely to obtain drink and refreshment? |
18350 | Was the whole undertaking merely a matter of personal nourishment? |
18350 | Was Æsop really its author, as tradition would have it? |
18350 | Were you known to antiquity? |
18350 | What are the motives that safeguard the germ? |
18350 | What are these frenzied creatures doing? |
18350 | What are these insects doing? |
18350 | What are these spots, of which I count five, six, and even more on a single pea? |
18350 | What are they doing up there during the fortnight of their festival? |
18350 | What are we to conclude from all this? |
18350 | What are we to conclude from this persistence of the orchestra, its lack of surprise or alarm at the firing of a charge? |
18350 | What are we to give him to eat? |
18350 | What are you going to do with it? |
18350 | What becomes of the earth which is removed? |
18350 | What change occurs in the stomach of the insect that the adult should passionately seek that which the larva refuses under peril of death? |
18350 | What connection has the subject of this chapter with the fuller of cloth? |
18350 | What could the earth do with such prodigality? |
18350 | What do these four huntresses, and others of similar habits, do with their victims when the crops of the latter are full of honey? |
18350 | What do these suns warm? |
18350 | What do they perceive at that distance? |
18350 | What do they want? |
18350 | What do we learn from the slaughter- houses of Chicago and the fate of the beetle''s victims? |
18350 | What does it really represent, as seen from below? |
18350 | What does she require? |
18350 | What does the empty stomach mean? |
18350 | What else do we notice? |
18350 | What formerly was woman? |
18350 | What game does the Gardener Beetle hunt? |
18350 | What had my penny bargain in store for me? |
18350 | What has occurred? |
18350 | What is going to happen next? |
18350 | What is her object when, before proceeding to sink her hole, she inspects her acorn, from above, below, before and behind, with such meticulous care? |
18350 | What is it? |
18350 | What is the nest to her? |
18350 | What is the object of this long perforation, which often occupies more than half the day? |
18350 | What is the result? |
18350 | What is the use of this embarrassing pike, this ridiculous snout? |
18350 | What is there, up there? |
18350 | What is to become of all these supernumeraries, perforce excluded from the banquet for want of space? |
18350 | What name are we to give to this initial phase of the Cigale-- a phase so strange, so unforeseen, and hitherto unsuspected? |
18350 | What organ does this sense affect? |
18350 | What place has maternal foresight here? |
18350 | What profit could life hold henceforth? |
18350 | What sense is it that informs this great butterfly of the whereabouts of his mate, and leads him wandering through the night? |
18350 | What should we do, poor folk as we are, if the_ Courcoussoun_ robbed us of it?" |
18350 | What then has happened, that this unhappy insect should be impaled like a specimen beetle with a pin through its head? |
18350 | What then is the use of the enormous fan- like structure of the male antennæ? |
18350 | What use are the claws of this tiny flea against rock, sandstone, or hardened clay? |
18350 | What was happening in this big- bellied body; what transmutations were accomplished, thus to affect the whole countryside? |
18350 | What was lacking to this egg, that it should fail to produce a grub? |
18350 | What was the lure that so deceived them? |
18350 | What will emerge from these miserable coverings? |
18350 | What would be the use of sight underground? |
18350 | What would happen if I imprisoned her in an opaque receptacle? |
18350 | What would it be upstairs, where the prisoner was, the cause of this invasion? |
18350 | What, then, is meant by the non- appearance of those whose antennæ I removed? |
18350 | When and how? |
18350 | When shall we see the end of it? |
18350 | When the joys of liberty have been tasted will they return-- to- night, to- morrow, or later? |
18350 | Whence comes wheat, the blessed grain which gives us bread? |
18350 | Whence did they come? |
18350 | Whence does it come? |
18350 | Whence, then, arose the errors of his tale? |
18350 | Where are the twelve cubic inches of earth that represent the average volume of the original contents of the shaft? |
18350 | Where did they first go, these veterans of a day? |
18350 | Where in the entomological world shall we find a more famous reputation? |
18350 | Where is it, this original pea, in the world of spontaneous vegetation? |
18350 | Where shall the deadly blow be delivered? |
18350 | Where, and how? |
18350 | Who can explain this strange contrast in habits? |
18350 | Who does not know this superb moth, the largest of all our European butterflies[3] with its livery of chestnut velvet and its collar of white fur? |
18350 | Who has struck the blow? |
18350 | Whom shall we hold responsible for these strange mistakes? |
18350 | Why did Ovid, so prodigal of detail, neglect to mention a dish so appropriate to the occasion? |
18350 | Why did the other twelve fail to appear, although furnished with their supposed guides, their antennæ? |
18350 | Why did their feathery"feelers"leave them in ignorance of events which would have brought flocks of the other Eggar? |
18350 | Why is a vegetable diet the rule in the hives of bees from the very commencement, when the other members of the same series live upon animal food? |
18350 | Why is the larva of the Osmia, which thrives upon albumen, actually fed upon honey during its early life? |
18350 | Why is this particular portion left untouched? |
18350 | Why is this point attacked rather than another? |
18350 | Why should not the domain of smell have its secret emanations, unknown to our senses and perceptible to a different sense- organ? |
18350 | Why should there not be insects with similar habits among the amateurs of corpse- like savours? |
18350 | Why so many grubs to each pea when one pea is sufficient only for one grub? |
18350 | Why such protracted efforts? |
18350 | Why this cellular envelope? |
18350 | Why, indeed, should the insect wander to right or to left upon a twig which presents the same surface all over? |
18350 | Why? |
18350 | Why? |
18350 | Will you give it the structure of a living edifice? |
18350 | Will you inject it with a hypodermic syringe between two impalpable plates to obtain were it only the wing of a fly? |
18350 | Will you tell me how you made the discovery?" |
18350 | With the bean did those ancient teachers also involuntarily bring us the insect which to- day disputes it with us? |
18350 | With what object are these perforations made, so laborious and yet so often unused? |
18350 | Would he, in some distant hedge, receive warning of the bride who waited on my study table? |
18350 | Would it approve of the mixture? |
18350 | Would not such a receptacle arrest or set free the informing effluvia according to its nature? |
18350 | Would the famous Bombyx issue from it? |
18350 | Would the little ogre pass without repugnance from the gamey flavour of a corpse to the scent of flowers? |
18350 | Would they return to the call that attracted them the night before? |
18350 | Yet can he find the truffle at a hundred yards? |
18350 | Yet who has told you, O man of little faith, that what is useless to- day will not be useful to- morrow? |
18350 | You flash pearls, emeralds, and rubies before my astonished eyes: how should I decide to prefer the emerald to the pearl? |
18350 | can they feel the vibration set up by his nibbling mandibles? |
18350 | if you see them why do you not seize them in your talons, crush the pigmies at their work, so that you may proceed with your travail in security? |
18350 | or do they succumb to the intolerant teeth of the first occupants? |
18350 | or his master, in the complete absence of a trail? |
18350 | without therapeutic means, without emetics or stomach- pumps, how is a stomach intact and in good order to be persuaded to yield up its contents? |
3422 | ''And pecaire?'' |
3422 | ''And the reason?'' |
3422 | ''Have n''t I the necessary attainment?'' |
3422 | ''Then what do you propose to do?'' |
3422 | ''What are they doing up there, those desolate trees? |
3422 | ''What are you doing with all those rows of figures amounting to zero?'' |
3422 | ''What did she say?'' |
3422 | ''What do you want for your laboratory?'' |
3422 | ''What is that?'' |
3422 | ''What will remain of my researches on the subject of instinct? |
3422 | ''Why do n''t you show those gentlemen your hands?'' |
3422 | ''Will you help me?'' |
3422 | ''Wo n''t you visit our museums, our collections? |
3422 | ANOTHER PROBER( PERFORATOR) What can he be called, this creature whose style and title I dare not inscribe at the head of the chapter? |
3422 | After all, may there not be some justification for the belief? |
3422 | After an attempt at an explanation in which I made the most of the few gleams that reached me I asked him:''Do you understand?'' |
3422 | An aquarium? |
3422 | And I left it at that for a moment or two, thinking hard, drawn now this way, now that with indecision:''Shall I accept? |
3422 | And arithmetic? |
3422 | And grammar? |
3422 | And history, geography? |
3422 | And how? |
3422 | And the oxygen? |
3422 | And these noisily buzzing with a sudden flight? |
3422 | And these others, so eager for plunder? |
3422 | And these, clad in black velvet? |
3422 | And what for, pray? |
3422 | And what was I to do now, to overcome the difficulty mentioned by my inspector and confirmed by my personal experience? |
3422 | And what will the reader himself say, if I invite him to that sight? |
3422 | And who knows? |
3422 | And, to begin with, how much does it owe to heredity? |
3422 | Are they drawn by this beacon? |
3422 | Are they exasperated by other radiations, known or unknown? |
3422 | Are they physically hurt by the chemical radiations? |
3422 | Are we to look upon the bundle of sticks as a sort of raft whose density is less than that of the water? |
3422 | Are we to look upon these as mandibles? |
3422 | Besides, if murder formed part of its plans, why descend to the bottom of the cell, instead of attacking the defenseless recluse straight way? |
3422 | Besides, what would it eat? |
3422 | But is there really any pain? |
3422 | But stones, which ruin your pockets; poisonous animals, which''ll sting your hand: what good are they to you, silly? |
3422 | But, as it was, what could I expect? |
3422 | But, if the beak were entirely closed, where would the eggs be laid then? |
3422 | Can I have succeeded without any trouble at the first attempt? |
3422 | Can it be my gas? |
3422 | Can it be the grub that makes its own way into the storeroom, that same grub which we have seen draining the Chalicodoma with its leech- like kisses? |
3422 | Can she be apprised of the depth of the chasm by the comparative faintness of the offensive odors that arise from it? |
3422 | Can the big joists, which break in so ugly a fashion the none too great regularity of the work, serve to buoy up the over- heavy raft? |
3422 | Can the mothers, in fact, dispense with their assistance, without being deprived of offspring on that account? |
3422 | Can the nature of the floor make any difference to her? |
3422 | Can the sense of smell measure the distance and judge whether it be acceptable or not? |
3422 | Can the shells, which are always empty and able to contain a few bubbles of air in their spiral, he floats? |
3422 | Can the worm, constantly floundering in the sanies of a carcass, be itself in danger of inoculation by that whereon it grows fat? |
3422 | Can there be special compounds in mushrooms, alkaloids, apparently, which vary according to the botanical genus? |
3422 | Can we be in the presence of the diffusive life of the plant, a life which persists in a fragment? |
3422 | Could it perhaps be lack of relish, a deficiency of seasoning for stimulating the appetite? |
3422 | Could they, in fact, contain soluble, colorless indigo? |
3422 | Do both cases come within the same category? |
3422 | Do these substances yield certain soluble elements to water? |
3422 | Do they attack the healthy? |
3422 | Do they come from the same workshop? |
3422 | Do they eat, in the strict sense of the word? |
3422 | Does she fear lest her worms should be bruised by an excessive drop? |
3422 | Does the coprinus digest itself by virtue of a pepsin similar to the maggots''? |
3422 | Does the stench of the meat not spread, coming from that depth? |
3422 | Does this family proceed from one mother? |
3422 | Does this liquefaction imply an easy change? |
3422 | Eager to arrive, do they drop from the top of the wall? |
3422 | For that matter, is it ever taught in the schools? |
3422 | For what reason does the hernia, once the keg is staved, continue swollen and projecting? |
3422 | From what height will the flesh fly dare to let her children drop? |
3422 | Have you any capital?'' |
3422 | He sees me coming solemnly along, like a relic bearer; he catches sight of my hand hiding something behind my back:''What have you there, my boy?'' |
3422 | His request gave me a shock of surprise, which was forthwith repressed on reflection:''I give algebra lessons?'' |
3422 | How are the worms protected in their horrible work yard? |
3422 | How are we to find those picturesque words, those striking features which arrest the attention? |
3422 | How are we to group them into a language heedful of syntax and not displeasing to the ear? |
3422 | How did it learn that, to safeguard the pupa, it must desert the carcass and that, to safeguard the fly, it must not bury itself too far down? |
3422 | How do things like that find their way into the stone? |
3422 | How do you set about it? |
3422 | How does it separate when returning to inertia? |
3422 | How does matter unite in order to assume life? |
3422 | How does she lay her eggs, the origin of the loathsome maggot that battens poisonously on our provisions, whether of game or butcher''s meat? |
3422 | How does she manage to get out? |
3422 | How does the gray fly find the time to settle a family of such dimensions, especially in small packets, as she has just done on my window sill? |
3422 | How does the vagabond, passing at a distance, know that, up there, invisible, high on the gibbet, there is something worth going for? |
3422 | How does this singular consumer, who feeds without eating, set about it? |
3422 | How is it that they find delicious what we find poisonous and why is it that what seems exquisite to our taste is loathsome to theirs? |
3422 | How is that? |
3422 | How is the parasite''s inroad into the flesh fly''s pupae effected? |
3422 | How shall a man earn his living in my poor native village, with its inclement weather and its niggardly soil? |
3422 | How to get out? |
3422 | How to set about it? |
3422 | How was this characteristic propensity, at once the torment and delight of my life, developed? |
3422 | How will you manage tomorrow? |
3422 | How, with such careless picking, are accidents avoided? |
3422 | I went to the beggar woman and whispered in her ear:''Do you know who gave you that? |
3422 | If I replace the flesh of the insect by that of another animal, the ox, for instance, shall I obtain the same results? |
3422 | In breaking stones, can I have found, but on a much richer scale, the thing that shines quite small in my mother''s ring? |
3422 | In what way does it go to work? |
3422 | Is a condiment of this kind necessary to the grubs? |
3422 | Is dryness necessary to them at this stage? |
3422 | Is it a little bird chirping in his nest? |
3422 | Is it not wonderful thus to formulate the orbit of the worlds? |
3422 | Is it really an instance of endosmosis? |
3422 | Is it really the famous metal of which twenty- franc pieces, so rare with us at home, are made? |
3422 | Is it through indifference? |
3422 | Is it worth while to sit up late at night and wear one''s self out in toil for the mere pleasure of learning? |
3422 | Is that enough, O my busy insects, to enable me to add yet a few seemly pages to your history? |
3422 | Is the game lost? |
3422 | Is the work of deliverance arranged in the general interest? |
3422 | Is this a defensive bite? |
3422 | Is this poetic exaggeration? |
3422 | Man catches sight of her:''Ah, would you?'' |
3422 | Might not these autumnal Bees be themselves exploited by the Anthrax, the same that selected the Osmia as her victim a couple of months earlier? |
3422 | Must I cry off? |
3422 | Now does the entrance of the Volucella into the presence of a few wasps entail such very great risks? |
3422 | Now to what do we owe this distinctive character? |
3422 | Now what do the fugitives feel? |
3422 | Now what do the vermin do? |
3422 | Now what do they do in this abode where there are no corpses? |
3422 | Now what has happened? |
3422 | Now what would happen if the pupae were there? |
3422 | Now, in a soft diffused light, what can be the radiations capable of acting upon this lover of darkness? |
3422 | Of what avail is the torment of learning to the derelicts of life? |
3422 | Or are they simply reduced to a fine dust in the crushing? |
3422 | Or is individual selfishness the only rule? |
3422 | Seeing that identity of shape and costume does not save the Polistes, how will the Volucella fare, with her clumsy imitation? |
3422 | Shall I go and spend them out of doors, in all the gaiety of my eighteen summers? |
3422 | Shall I refuse?'' |
3422 | Shall physical or chemical forces explain why the animalcule digs into the hard clay? |
3422 | Shall we manage it, among us all? |
3422 | Short of botanical studies that are not within everybody''s reach, how are we to distinguish the harmless from the venomous? |
3422 | Should I ever know? |
3422 | Should I succeed? |
3422 | Strength? |
3422 | Suppose it should be what I am looking for? |
3422 | Surely, to busy one''s self with those squalid sextons means soiling one''s eyes and mind? |
3422 | THE CADDIS WORM Whom shall I lodge in my glass trough, kept permanently wholesome by the action of the water weeds? |
3422 | The first question that presents itself is this: how do the greenbottle grubs feed? |
3422 | Then how comes it that the cylinder of bits of root is so confused, so clumsily fashioned? |
3422 | Then how does the fly set about it? |
3422 | Then to what masters shall we have recourse to quicken and develop the humble germ that is latent within us? |
3422 | Then what are we to do? |
3422 | Then what explanation shall I give of the facts which I have just set forth? |
3422 | Then what is there behind the wasp grub? |
3422 | Then what is there in that terrible liquid? |
3422 | Then what need is there for the Volucella to disguise herself as a wasp? |
3422 | Then where are we to look for a reply? |
3422 | Then why does the flesh fly, who but now was dropping her grubs from a goodly height, refuse to let them fall from the top of a column twice as high? |
3422 | Then, bluntly:''Have you any money?'' |
3422 | To what do they owe this privilege? |
3422 | Walk with me to the station, will you? |
3422 | Was I, on my side, very wrong? |
3422 | Was it a bit of diaphanous down stirred by my breath? |
3422 | Was it an illusion born of my hopes? |
3422 | Was it really the original larva of the Anthrax? |
3422 | Well, what should I do to make the school earn its title of''upper primary''? |
3422 | Well, what should I find beyond the grandparents where my facts come to a stop? |
3422 | Well, what will become of this great pile of drawings, the object of so much work? |
3422 | Were there loftier flights? |
3422 | What are all my different acquaintances in the woods and meadows called? |
3422 | What are her stratagems and how can we foil them? |
3422 | What are the others doing, those who got splashed through standing too near the chemical bomb? |
3422 | What are their names? |
3422 | What are they all doing there? |
3422 | What are you doing just now?'' |
3422 | What becomes of it when it leaves the egg? |
3422 | What can a binomial theorem be, especially one whose author is Newton, the great English mathematician who weighed the worlds? |
3422 | What can one do to a thing so very small? |
3422 | What can those cherries be? |
3422 | What could we do? |
3422 | What did he perceive? |
3422 | What did the best results of my studies of instinct cost me? |
3422 | What did they want for their putrefaction? |
3422 | What do these people gather? |
3422 | What does Saxicola mean?'' |
3422 | What does he care for the rest? |
3422 | What does it know of those depths, of what lies therein or where? |
3422 | What does the root know of the earth''s fruitfulness? |
3422 | What effect will pure white produce? |
3422 | What else do you want?'' |
3422 | What else is there in the mixture in my watch glasses? |
3422 | What has become of them? |
3422 | What has happened? |
3422 | What has happened? |
3422 | What has it to make itself thus respected? |
3422 | What has the future in store for it? |
3422 | What has the mechanism of the sky to do with this? |
3422 | What infernal mixtures did he compound? |
3422 | What inspiration urges it towards its food at the bottom of the clod, what compass guides it? |
3422 | What is the reason? |
3422 | What is their number to one mother? |
3422 | What is this at my feet? |
3422 | What is this? |
3422 | What is to be done? |
3422 | What is wanted to keep the maggots out? |
3422 | What reasons have made the recluse become a congregation? |
3422 | What risk does she run? |
3422 | What shall I call the room in which I was to become acquainted with the alphabet? |
3422 | What shall we call it? |
3422 | What shall we learn from the sharper- flavored mushrooms? |
3422 | What should I set myself to produce? |
3422 | What should we say to a method of being suckled by the mere application of the mouth to a teatless breast? |
3422 | What to do next? |
3422 | What was I to do before the disheartening wall that every now and then rose up and barred my road? |
3422 | What was I to take in hand to raise me above the primary school, whose staff could barely earn their bread in those days? |
3422 | What was needed thus to upset the procession of friars? |
3422 | What was read at my school? |
3422 | What was there upstairs? |
3422 | What were they flying from? |
3422 | What will be the result? |
3422 | What will become of that infinitesimal spark of childish fancy? |
3422 | What will become of you when your master is gone? |
3422 | What will you show me? |
3422 | What would be needed to supply the illuminating ray? |
3422 | What would happen if, by an artifice, the sideward layer were nowhere thick enough to satisfy the grub? |
3422 | When it is hard enough to earn one''s bit of bread, does not improving one''s mind but render one more meet for suffering? |
3422 | When my comrade returns to his room, does he sleep, careless for the moment of the shifting scene which we have conjured up? |
3422 | Whence do these favored ones derive a gift that borders on morality? |
3422 | Whence do they come? |
3422 | Whence does it derive this capacity? |
3422 | Where are they? |
3422 | Where did you get it?'' |
3422 | Where does it come from? |
3422 | Where is the cheerful face of former days, bright with enthusiasm and hope? |
3422 | Where lies its power? |
3422 | Where shall I keep it, to make the best use of it? |
3422 | Where shall we find that subject? |
3422 | Where should I keep the precious picture? |
3422 | Where the line auger of the Leucospis can enter, is there not room enough for the even slimmer Anthrax grub? |
3422 | Where would they fix their first layer? |
3422 | Who are the guests summoned to the banquet? |
3422 | Who can these laggards be but animalcules that have roamed too long in the walls of the nest? |
3422 | Who cares? |
3422 | Who in the world, in her day, among the small folk, dreamt of knowing how to read and write? |
3422 | Who is making that noise? |
3422 | Who is this one? |
3422 | Who knows what vistas the natural philosophy of the maggot might open out to us? |
3422 | Who knows whether medical science could not employ them in relieving our ailments, even as it employs quinine, morphia and other alkaloids? |
3422 | Who knows? |
3422 | Who knows? |
3422 | Who named them? |
3422 | Who would not enter the pleasure gardens, with such a bait? |
3422 | Why and how? |
3422 | Why do the maggots eat the Satanic bolete and scorn the imperial mushroom? |
3422 | Why do the two boletes with the red tubes, the purple bolete and the satanic bolete, change into a dark gruel? |
3422 | Why does it go and take up its abode in the ground? |
3422 | Why does the Lunary Copris know what his near kinsman, the Spanish Copris, does not? |
3422 | Why does the worm quit the carcass, that capital shelter? |
3422 | Why is the Sisyphus a hard working paterfamilias and the sacred beetle an idle vagabond? |
3422 | Why must there be a jar to the even tenor of such joys? |
3422 | Why not just one? |
3422 | Why not make the most of it? |
3422 | Why should I not describe my first discoveries? |
3422 | Why should not its skin, which is one of the most delicate, be capable of absorbing? |
3422 | Why should we not regard it as the cause of the black tint when the maggots have liquefied the boletes which turn blue? |
3422 | Why such a thing as sex, when the tuber of the Jerusalem artichoke can do without it? |
3422 | Why two sexes? |
3422 | Why, indeed, did I forsake you so long? |
3422 | Why? |
3422 | Why? |
3422 | Will his example find imitators? |
3422 | Will it be the same if the food supplied be of a lower organism and consist of fish, for instance, of frog, mollusk, insect, centipede? |
3422 | Will my strength not cheat my good intentions? |
3422 | Will she find them? |
3422 | Will the worms accept these viands and, above all, can they manage to liquefy them, which is the first and foremost condition? |
3422 | Will you be knocked down for a franc, when the family come to apportion my poor spoils? |
3422 | Will you be the plank on which the cabbages are shredded? |
3422 | Will you be turned into a stand for the pitcher beside the kitchen sink? |
3422 | With such a school and such a master and such examples, what will become of my embryo tastes, as yet so imperceptible? |
3422 | With these arrangements, are we sure of warding off the fly and her vermin? |
3422 | With what am I enjoying the glorious radiance: with my mouth or my eyes? |
3422 | Would it be possible to isolate them and study their properties fully? |
3422 | Would it not be the same with the chrysalis of the great peacock, dissected cell by cell by hundreds of infinitesimal anatomists? |
3422 | Would it not be the same with the pupa of the flesh fly? |
3422 | Would they protect themselves against the cold and rain? |
3422 | Would you succeed in the things of the mind? |
3422 | Would you? |
49818 | How will the struggle for existence--I quote, with some omissions, the words of Darwin--"act in regard to variation? |
49818 | Now what,he asks,[IU]"does this greater consumption of time imply? |
49818 | [ CR] How, then, does Mr. Wallace himself suppose that these secondary sexual characters have arisen? 49818 ***** Turning now to the lower animals, the first question that suggests itself is-- What are their capacities for pleasure and pain? 49818 ***** We may now pass on to consider the position of those who give an affirmative answer to the question-- Can the body affect the germ? 49818 147; habits, are they inherited? 49818 159 Is there sufficient evidence that it does? 49818 493 The origin of interneural variations 496 Are acquired variations inherited? 49818 After that, I say to him,''Will you die for the queen, like a loyal soldier?'' 49818 Am I using the wordreason"in an unnatural and forced sense? |
49818 | And from what have psychoses, or states of consciousness, been evolved? |
49818 | And how can selective association be a means of isolation? |
49818 | And how does Mr. Darwin meet this difficulty? |
49818 | And if not due to natural selection, to what can it be due, save inherited antipathy? |
49818 | And if these spirits are still powerful to act, why not petition them to act in certain ways? |
49818 | And out of what has it been evolved? |
49818 | And the question still remains-- From what source comes this tendency to beauty? |
49818 | And what are the physical possibilities? |
49818 | And what do I mean by"real"? |
49818 | And what help have we towards answering it? |
49818 | And what is an eject? |
49818 | And what shall we say of the colour- vision of invertebrates? |
49818 | And what, we may now proceed to ask, is the physiological or kinetic aspect of this metakinetic process? |
49818 | Another general question with regard to the feelings is-- With what condition or state of the bodily organization are they associated? |
49818 | Are not the phenomena he analyzes still the same, still equally real? |
49818 | Are the two as yet undifferentiated? |
49818 | Are these germinal cells mysteriously different from all the other cells which have undergone differentiation? |
49818 | Are these in any cases distinctive of species? |
49818 | Are they not produced by the ghost of the departed enemy, by the spirit of the deceased ancestor? |
49818 | Are we not justified in believing that the female exerts a choice, and that she receives the addresses of the male who pleases her most? |
49818 | Are we surprised at the want of surprise on the part of the cow? |
49818 | Are we, then, to leave the question as insoluble? |
49818 | At what distance apart, on the most delicate part of the retina, can two points of stimulation be recognized as distinct from each other? |
49818 | But are they inherited? |
49818 | But can the body so modified affect the germ- cells which it carries within it? |
49818 | But failing that, why not hay? |
49818 | But has not human selection through preferential mating? |
49818 | But here we open up an important question-- Where do we feel a sensation, such as, for example, that of pressure on the skin? |
49818 | But how came it that the father took to athletics, and was enabled to develop so lithe and powerful a frame? |
49818 | But how do they produce their effects? |
49818 | But how is the influence of the body brought to bear on the germ? |
49818 | But how, it is asked, can we accept it if its_ modus operandi_ is inexplicable? |
49818 | But how, it may be asked, on this view, or on any continuity hypothesis, are the origin of variations and their transmission to be accounted for? |
49818 | But in their inception may they not have been symbolic of predominants? |
49818 | But is this true of all animals? |
49818 | But is this true of all animals? |
49818 | But it may be further asked-- What is the use of the segregation? |
49818 | But may it not be of indirect disadvantage? |
49818 | But suppose the conditions are similar: can there be divergence in this case? |
49818 | But what dog? |
49818 | But what led me to construct an object with these qualities? |
49818 | But what, it may be asked, can be the purpose of an eye- structure which gives, not an image, but merely a spot of light? |
49818 | But where is the nuclear fission in the formation of gemmules? |
49818 | But who is to determine which? |
49818 | But who shall dare thus to limit the possibilities of organic nature? |
49818 | Can animals, we may ask, form such arbitrary associations? |
49818 | Can it be supposed that the weaving of a cocoon by the caterpillar is mainly a matter of lapsed intelligence? |
49818 | Can the principle of selection, which is so potent in the hands of man, apply under nature? |
49818 | Can we be sure that there is really a summation of results-- that each generation is not affected_ de novo_ in a similar manner? |
49818 | Can we conceive that, with organs so different, anything like a similar perceptual world can be elaborated in the insect mind? |
49818 | Can we exclude the direct action of the more or less saline water, or the products of the unwonted food on the germinal cells? |
49818 | Can we say that death-- as distinct from being killed-- is the natural heritage of every creature that lives? |
49818 | Can we say that matter, when it reaches the complexity of the grey cortex of the brain, becomes at last self- conscious? |
49818 | Can we suppose that it arose through the elimination of those ancestral animals which failed to perform this habit? |
49818 | Complex psychoses have been evolved from less complex psychoses; these from simple psychoses; these, again, from-- what? |
49818 | Do Arctic foxes tunnel in the snow for any other purposes? |
49818 | Do all animals"move about and sleep"? |
49818 | Do the clever foxes resemble the intelligent workman A, or the abstract reasoner B? |
49818 | Does he believe that consciousness is an accompaniment of certain nervous processes in the grey cortex of the brain? |
49818 | Does it support the view that the hen produces the egg or that the egg produces the hen? |
49818 | Does the male parade his charms with so much pomp and rivalry for no purpose? |
49818 | Evolution being continuity, associated with change, tending in certain directions, and accompanied by certain processes, how has it been effected? |
49818 | Evolved from what? |
49818 | Evolved from what? |
49818 | Finally, if an acquired character, so called, is better developed in the child than in the parent, what is this but an example of variation? |
49818 | For, if the plumage of the argus pheasant and the bird of paradise is due to the general laws of growth and development, why not the whole animal? |
49818 | Fortunately for those who visit London( and who nowadays does not? |
49818 | Granting its occurrence, is it effective? |
49818 | Has he altered the reality of the phenomena themselves? |
49818 | Have careful and reliable observers watched the foxes? |
49818 | Have we not in them the signs for predominants not yet converted for the primitive utterers into isolates? |
49818 | He is, however, perplexed by the question-- How can this be? |
49818 | Here it is again reinforced and directed( who, at present, can say how?) |
49818 | How can I here, by any metakinetic process, perceive the kinesis that is going on out there?" |
49818 | How can that which is utterly and completely false to nature have had a natural evolution? |
49818 | How can the results of analysis be more real than that which is analyzed? |
49818 | How can these be explained? |
49818 | How can we be sure that in the one case it was through fully attaining, in the other through failing to reach, the standard of taste? |
49818 | How far does the dog construct a similar world? |
49818 | How far is his symbolism the same as ours? |
49818 | How far, we may ask, do such actions imply"a conscious knowledge of the relation between the means employed and the ends attained"? |
49818 | How have this wealth, this diversity, this beauty, this manifold activity, which we summarize under the term"animal life,"been produced? |
49818 | How is it that these gaudy and variable caterpillars, cream- coloured with orange and black markings, have escaped speedy destruction? |
49818 | How the two sets of impressions are correlated and co- ordinated in insect- consciousness, who can say? |
49818 | How were variations started in the first instance? |
49818 | How, then, are we to account for our wide range of colour- sensation? |
49818 | If Darwin''s sexual selection is to be thus superseded, why not Messrs. Darwin and Wallace''s natural selection? |
49818 | If each lens thus gives an image, is not each the focussing apparatus of a single eye? |
49818 | If each plastic embryo is moulded in turn by similar influence, how can we conclusively prove hereditary summation? |
49818 | If fixed, how can differentiation occur in the same flock or herd? |
49818 | If lapsed intelligence be excluded in these cases, why introduce it at all? |
49818 | If mimicry in form and colour is due to natural selection, why not mimicry in habits and activities? |
49818 | If panmixia alone can not, to any very large extent, reduce an organ no longer sustained by natural selection, to what efficient cause are we to look? |
49818 | If the former, does it transfer its influence to the body- plasm during the life of the individual? |
49818 | In the doorway Carlo stopped, and looked first up at his mistress and then into the store- room, as much as to say,''What can we think of this?'' |
49818 | Is it any injustice to the brutes to contend that their inferences are of the same order as those of these excellent practical folk? |
49818 | Is it not because we believe in the practical unity of mankind? |
49818 | Is it the germ- plasm or the body- plasm that is influenced by external stresses? |
49818 | Is mind evolved from matter? |
49818 | Is not the identification of neurosis and psychosis a begging of the question, unless the_ how_, the_ modus operandi_, is explained? |
49818 | Is the object withheld or lost? |
49818 | Is there any principle analogous to that of elimination which we have seen to be of such high importance in organic evolution? |
49818 | Is there sufficient evidence to show conclusively that the body- cells have been modified, and have handed on the modification to the germ? |
49818 | Is this a case of transmitted fibre and faculty? |
49818 | It may be asked-- What advantage has such a view over realistic materialism? |
49818 | May not these have been the stepping- stones from the perceptual predominants of animal man, to the conceptual isolates of rational man? |
49818 | May not this structure be absorbing nutriment which would be more advantageously utilized elsewhere? |
49818 | Must we, then, leave the question undecided? |
49818 | Now, is this habit of elimination value? |
49818 | Now, what is the guiding principle of the evolution and development of ideas in the world of their metakinetic environment? |
49818 | Now, what was the nature of the construct framed at the bidding of the piercing howl? |
49818 | Now, what would be the result of this alternation of good times and hard times? |
49818 | Of what use would warning coloration be if it did not serve to suggest to the percipient the disagreeable qualities with which it is associated? |
49818 | Once more, how is this increased power in that biceps muscle of the oarsman able to impress itself upon the sperms or the ova? |
49818 | Or can we throw it into some form which is more general and less hypothetical? |
49818 | Or, has the atmosphere been furnished with continuous fresh supplies of carbonic acid gas? |
49818 | Secondly, some answer to the question-- How are the body- cells able to transmit their modifications to the germ- cells? |
49818 | Seeing so great an amount of routine work going on around him, might he not be in danger of regarding all this as evidence of blind instinct? |
49818 | Shall we leave this altogether out of account? |
49818 | The question is-- Are they transmitted? |
49818 | The question is-- Is each facetted organ an eye, or is it an aggregate of eyes? |
49818 | The question is-- Which assumption yields the most consistent and harmonious results? |
49818 | The question then naturally occurs-- How have these divergent forms escaped the swamping effects of intercrossing? |
49818 | The question, then, is not-- How does the world mirror itself in the mind of the dog? |
49818 | The standard may thus be maintained, but where is the possibility of progress? |
49818 | The two factors in phenomena 331 The basis in organic evolution 336 Perceptual construction in mammalia 338 Can animals analyze their constructs? |
49818 | Then at once arises the question-- Does life remain the same yesterday, to- day, and to- morrow? |
49818 | There is pain: is it restored or gained? |
49818 | There is pleasure: does it abide or remain constant? |
49818 | This is but one mode of putting a very old question-- Does the hen produce the egg, or does the egg produce the hen? |
49818 | To what other cause is the failure of heredity due? |
49818 | To which category, then, does this hypothesis belong? |
49818 | We may pass, then, to the question-- How? |
49818 | What are its methods? |
49818 | What are the characteristics of this growth? |
49818 | What are the physiological effects? |
49818 | What do we know, however, about the primitive tissue- differentiation of the earliest metazoa? |
49818 | What guides the variation along special lines leading to heightened beauty? |
49818 | What has guided it along these lines? |
49818 | What is the evidence that adjusted nutrition can be inherited? |
49818 | What is the proportion of those who adopt this device to those who gnaw through the string? |
49818 | What is this mind which is said to be evolved? |
49818 | What knows he of gravitation or the laws of the winds? |
49818 | What knows she of anatomy or of physiology? |
49818 | What shall we say concerning their constructs? |
49818 | What shall we say of such cases? |
49818 | What shall we say of such cases? |
49818 | What, in similar terms, is the delicacy of sight? |
49818 | What, on the principles above laid down, can we be said to know or have learnt about it? |
49818 | What, then, is excluded? |
49818 | What, then, is he-- his metakinetic self, not his kinetic material body-- to me? |
49818 | What, then, is the essential nature of the respiratory process thus so differently manifested? |
49818 | What, then, is the nature of this change? |
49818 | What, then, it may be asked, does produce the egg? |
49818 | What, then, we may now ask, is, on their view, the mode of origin of variations? |
49818 | Whence comes the carbonic acid gas? |
49818 | Wherein lies the utility of the divergence into two forms? |
49818 | Which shall eventually prevail-- a spiritual interpretation of nature, a material interpretation, a monistic interpretation, or other, who shall say? |
49818 | Whither goes the oxygen? |
49818 | Who can decide the question between monist and materialist? |
49818 | Who can say what will be the nature of the further evolution of any existing philosophical creed? |
49818 | Who can tell? |
49818 | Who dare arbitrate between the bishop and the professor? |
49818 | Who shall say, however, what was passing through the mind of the dog in any of these three cases? |
49818 | Why have these no similar tufts? |
49818 | Why not assume that neural processes, when they reach a certain complexity, give rise to or produce consciousness? |
49818 | Why not_ find_ hay inside; and, finding hay, why not enjoy the good provender thus provided? |
49818 | Why should we be? |
49818 | Why, then, rediscuss the question under these new terms? |
49818 | [ KL] In both cases, the question to which an answer is suggested is not-- What variations will arise? |
49818 | and if so, how? |
49818 | but rather-- How far does the symbolic world of the dog resemble the symbolic world of man? |
49818 | but-- What variations will survive? |
49818 | or is their segregation the direct effect of their differential fertility? |
49818 | or, to put the question in a more satisfactory form-- Are the limits of sensibility to light- vibrations the same in them as in us? |
49818 | the twisted skull of flat- fish) produced? |

25887 | Lola, how much of a Mark are 50 Pfennige? 25887 Lola,"I continued,"how does Betty smell?" |
25887 | Lola,I said,"do I sometimes smell horrid?" |
25887 | Lola,I said,"do you know what is meant when I say--_je veux manger_--do you understand that?" |
25887 | Lola,said I,"whatever is there about that house-- do you notice anything?" |

25887 | Then is the cat right if she kills you? |
25887 | Then of what? |
25887 | Then tell me the hour first,I said, and she rapped:"10;""And now the minutes?" |

25887 | Yes, tell me? |
25887 | Yes? 25887 You ca n''t do so?" |
25887 | You meant like the exclamation--''O weh''? |
25887 | You remember that I told you that the hour is divided into 60 minutes? |
25887 | You see, the little thick pointer is now pointing to_ nine_, so it is 9 o''clock; what time will it be when it points to 4? |

25887 | ( Herbst= autumn, so we usually call her Spring)"What''s the name of this girl?" |
25887 | ( Herr Dr. Ziegler)"Then why did you tell a story just now? |
25887 | ( or orders to stop the foot at the right time?) |
25887 | ( tier= animal)"_ An animal_? |
25887 | ( weh= pain)"Like pain?" |
25887 | (= They laugh-- why?). |
25887 | (= great, or strong jealousy)"So you smell what I feel and when it changes?" |
25887 | (= to be silent)"_ What_? |
25887 | (= where is the wood?) |
25887 | (= who monkey?) |
25887 | (= you have eaten little?) |
25887 | (_ the second_)"What should it be?" |
25887 | --"Zu wenig has-- who?" |
25887 | 1 December:"Lola, what will become of you when you are dead? |
25887 | 1 January, 1917:"What is to- day?" |
25887 | 10 January: To- day we returned to the foregoing conversation:"Tell me what you do n''t understand about me?" |
25887 | 11+ 15+ 2? |
25887 | 15 April: On this day the written question was put to her:"Why does Lola like going in the woods?" |
25887 | 15 June: A lady has come to stay with me for a few days and I said to Lola:"Why do you like Fräulien Grethe?" |
25887 | 17 May: In the presence of my friend and of two dogs I asked her--"Lola, why do n''t you like Dick?" |
25887 | 18 December: Lola looked as if she had been crying, so again I said:"What is the matter, Lola?" |
25887 | 19 April:"Lola,"I asked,"what was it that ran away from you on the meadow?" |
25887 | 24+ 32? |
25887 | 25 June: Lola had been brought indoors-- away from her young family, and I said:"Is there anything you would like to have in the stable, now think?" |
25887 | 27 July: To- day I invited her to tell me something she might be thinking about, adding:"Will you say something?" |
25887 | 3 June:"Will you work now?" |
25887 | 30 August: To- day I asked Lola:"Do you wish every one to marry and have children?" |
25887 | 31 December:"Lola, have you got worms?" |
25887 | 4 December: To- day I said to Lola:"Why do n''t I understand dog- language? |
25887 | 6 September:"Lola, why did you bite Jenny, yesterday?" |
25887 | 8 September:"Why are you not eating your food? |
25887 | = 1 zentner I then explained this carefully and questioned her at once:"How many pounds are 375 grammes?" |
25887 | A little later I said:"Do you belong to me Lola?" |
25887 | After a little while we asked him again--''5 plus 5?'' |
25887 | After a pause I asked again:"Why are you getting so thin, Lola?" |
25887 | And I then asked her:"Do you know what a soul is?" |
25887 | And again,"Intelligence in others"? |
25887 | And again:"How many minutes has a quarter of an hour-- that is, an hour divided by 4?" |
25887 | And in thus probing the depths of our own subject do we not come up against those weightier questions which are of Cosmic importance? |
25887 | And, in this matter, have we to concede so much to our higher animals? |
25887 | And--"4^ 2=?" |
25887 | Answer: left paw 2, right paw 7; and again,"6 × 6=?" |
25887 | Answer:''5,''and''[ 10,000rt]- 87?'' |
25887 | Both on our way back, and when we got home I returned to the subject, saying:"What was on that notice- board?" |
25887 | But Lola merely ordered me"to work"--"What am I to work at?" |
25887 | But in five minutes she was back, looking anything but pleased;"Well, did n''t you like it?" |
25887 | But is there anything more?" |
25887 | But that same evening, when I was sitting reading, Lola came and rapped my hands-- inquiring--"wer afe?" |
25887 | But the next day the dog''s master called again and complained of Ilse, saying:''What do you think of this? |
25887 | But why had this remark occurred to her yesterday? |
25887 | But, do we study astronomy for mere_ practical_ reasons? |
25887 | But, the question is-- how could Lola have known that there would be nine? |
25887 | Did you think I should be pleased to think you meant me?..." |
25887 | Does not Nature here fix man''s eye with her own gaze-- granting him new riches? |
25887 | First I asked:"How many days are there in a week?" |
25887 | Fraulein Kindermann asked her:"What animal''s feather is that?" |
25887 | Have you to sleep on the wood behind the stove?'' |
25887 | Having, therefore, removed the chart on Sunday, I asked her on Monday:"How many months has the year?" |
25887 | Her answers were invariably right now for, by way of test, I inquired:"How many minutes are there in half an hour?" |
25887 | Here is an example, the date being 31 May: I put the question:"12 Mark less 4 Mark 10 Pfennige?" |
25887 | Here is an example: 20+ 14? |
25887 | How do you do it?" |
25887 | How often in trouble and in sorrow have we not found relief in a dog''s sympathy, and been glad to call it a friend in our sufferings? |
25887 | I addressed her with evident displeasure in my voice, saying:"Have you any excuse to make for such behaviour?" |
25887 | I asked her,"14,""12,""15"? |
25887 | I asked her,"from_ here_ to_ here_?" |
25887 | I asked,"would you like to be a human being?" |
25887 | I avoided looking at it again and merely asked,"Tell me, does it look friendly, or angry, or nice?" |
25887 | I continued:"And now?" |
25887 | I could hardly believe it, so I asked her:"four?" |
25887 | I could make nothing of it and asked her again--"What_ is_ deresf?" |
25887 | I cried,"Is there no way of putting it right again? |
25887 | I cried,"there must be some minutes as well?" |
25887 | I enquired of Lola--"Will there be sun to- day?" |
25887 | I had seen none about, but asked her again:"Where is the goat?" |
25887 | I often put my question thus:"7 × 4=?" |
25887 | I put some further questions to him, and Frau von Moers particularly asked him:''Is Lola clever? |
25887 | I queried; she rapped"n.""How many of these letters belong to the first word?" |
25887 | I questioned her more closely, so as to get at the meaning of this enigmatical remark:"What''in ear''?" |
25887 | I repeated this several times and then asked:"How do you rap fifteen?" |
25887 | I said to Lola at once:"You were wrong, it was not Frieda, but the new maid-- what is her name?" |
25887 | I said to her:"Tell me what is delighting you so to- day?" |
25887 | I said,"and what is_ this_?" |
25887 | I said:"Are you lazy?" |
25887 | I said:"How many days has March?" |
25887 | I said:"Into how many parts are the day and night divided?" |
25887 | I said:"What is the colour of the stove in this room?" |
25887 | I showed her a book belonging to my father and said:"Whose book is this?" |
25887 | I then asked:"What bones do you like best-- deer, hares, wuzl"( this is her own name for a pig),"or ox?" |
25887 | I then dropped the subject, and tested her on the morrow:"What is to- day?" |
25887 | I then said to Lola:"Tell me the hour?" |
25887 | I then said:"How much is two and five?" |
25887 | I then showed her another biscuit, saying"Is this too from Mama?" |
25887 | I then showed her the weights, placing them in a row before her, naming them again and saying:"Which is the heaviest?" |
25887 | I thought I had misunderstood her, so repeated--"haue?" |
25887 | I urged,"how can it be put right?" |
25887 | I wanted to get to the bottom of it, so returning to the attack, said:"Why would n''t you tell me yesterday what water is good for?" |
25887 | I will now only add what has so far come to my notice accidentally: On 4 October, 1916, I said:"Lola, do you like to smell people?" |
25887 | I wo n''t be angry; do I smell of lies?" |
25887 | If it_ does_"fit in"ought we, then, to dismiss it? |
25887 | Ilse-- have you a bed?'' |
25887 | In astonishment I continued:"How many centimetres are there to the metre?" |
25887 | In astonishment I said:"From whom have you got that word?" |
25887 | In surprise I asked him:''Well, Rolf, do you know what two plus two amounts to?'' |
25887 | In the course of the afternoon, Lola, who had gone with me to tea at B. L.''s, was shown some pictures:"What is that?" |
25887 | In the evening I said:"Lola, what_ is_ it you do n''t understand about me?" |
25887 | Is Lola to learn?'' |
25887 | Is it not the same thing with all subjects that open up a new point of view? |
25887 | Is n''t one letter wrong?" |
25887 | Is there intelligence in the dog, or is the intelligence in others? |
25887 | Is this not often_ spiritually_ the case between man and man? |
25887 | It was constructed thus: I would ask him, for instance,''Rolf, how many taps with your paw are you going to give me for_ a_?'' |
25887 | Later I said:"Lola, do you like being with me?" |
25887 | Later in the afternoon Lola was in a state of great depression;"What is the matter?" |
25887 | Lola began again----"..."and again added"no...""Do n''t you know her name?" |
25887 | Lola sniffed all the hamper over, then jumped about and wagged her tail joyfully-- so I inquired:''Do you know who the hamper is from?'' |
25887 | Lola solved the following problems:"1/5+ 1/3=?" |
25887 | Lola was bright and fresh and this encouraged me to continue:"What does Magda smell like?" |
25887 | Next day she was asked in writing:"What did Lola see swimming in the water?" |
25887 | Now this was quite incomprehensible, so I said:"What do dogs feel when they look at the eyes and see the sorrows of people?" |
25887 | Now, this was wrong, so I said:"Yesterday was the 14th, so what is to- day?" |
25887 | Numbers? |
25887 | Of those then put by me I still call to mind the following:''24 ÷ 3- 3?'' |
25887 | On 5 October I asked:"Lola, do I smell the same?" |
25887 | On this date I returned to the subject, and said to Lola:"Why do dogs go to people when they see them in sorrow-- what is it they then want?" |
25887 | Once I asked-- by way of experiment--"What is this?" |
25887 | One put to her in this manner was:"2+ 3? |
25887 | Question:"What coins do you know?" |
25887 | Rolf rapped with one paw only, as has already been stated; one was, therefore, obliged at length to put the question to him:"1 or 10?" |
25887 | Say''we are happy''otherwise I shall think you are telling me stories: now_ why_?" |
25887 | She could soon answer such questions as--"3^ 3=?" |
25887 | She soon had this all so firmly fixed in her little head that I was able to put her to easy sums and ask:"What is 3 x 3+ 10- 5?" |
25887 | She was very eager and giving her undivided attention to the work, so I continued:"What day is to- day?" |
25887 | Single letters? |
25887 | So Frau Dr. Moekel asked the dog:''Ilse, are you really sorrowful?'' |
25887 | So I asked for fun:"Do you remember that I showed you the yard- stick?" |
25887 | So I continued:"Name the second day in the week?" |
25887 | So I discounted the"g"and the"no"and said:"It should be''f''--shouldn''t it?" |
25887 | So I kept to such questions as--"What will be the day of the week on such and such a date?" |
25887 | So I put the card aside and said:"What is the second word?" |
25887 | So at length to make sure, I fetched my riding- whip and gave her a light flick, saying--"Is that what you want?" |
25887 | So she said:"Re jagen und has....""And a third?" |
25887 | The laughter elicited by this statement appeared to offend Rolf, for he promptly spelt out the query:''di lagn warum?'' |
25887 | The letter:"Dear, certainly Irene is very nice to me"... then"were"..."What''s the meaning of that?" |
25887 | The next day I asked her"where is my friend living now?" |
25887 | The next day, after having done a few sums to please some friends who were present, she was asked:"Who is the dog in the room?" |
25887 | The next day:"Now tell me your answer as to why you are living?" |
25887 | The old man was delighted when, on my suggestion, Lola spelt out his name: she rapped"Wilem,"and when I said:"Did you hear that from me?" |
25887 | The questions were practised in the following manner:--"How do you rap 3/8, 12/6?" |
25887 | Then I began:"What about to- day?" |
25887 | Then I said:"Six oxen are in the stalls-- how many legs have six oxen?" |
25887 | Then I struck"c,"saying,"What note is that?" |
25887 | Then I thought I would change the subject and asked her:"Why did Geri sigh so outside the door last night, and why does he look so unhappy to- day?" |
25887 | Then Lola began wagging her tail near to the door, so I asked:"Who was outside?" |
25887 | Then a number was described and I said:"Twice this number makes? |
25887 | Then"Why are you looking at me so crossly?" |
25887 | Then, holding up four fingers, I ventured with the question:"How many fingers do I show? |
25887 | Then--"Where is the 100 grammes?" |
25887 | There are thirty cows in the stalls; ten of those cows go to graze, and two cows have been killed, how many cows remain in the stalls?" |
25887 | Therefore, without holding out my hands, I asked her:"How many make six?" |
25887 | This big pointer starts at 12, and you see that there are five little strokes up to 1, and how many up to 2?" |
25887 | Two days later she was asked in writing:"How many dogs can reckon and spell?" |
25887 | Was it suggestion then from one unconscious to another? |
25887 | Was the praise, or were the rewards inadequate? |
25887 | We now continued:"1 and 3?" |
25887 | What am I to do with that word; the sentence is not complete, is it?" |
25887 | What, indeed, had been"transmitted"to them? |
25887 | When I got home in the evening I asked Lola:"Is it nice here? |
25887 | When I showed her the portrait of my son Karl and asked--''Of whom is this a picture?'' |
25887 | When he arrived I said to her:"Who is this?" |
25887 | When she knew how to calculate time, I put the following question to her:"How many minutes are there in an hour and a half-- less thirty minutes?" |
25887 | While"7+ 4?" |
25887 | Words? |
25887 | Yet, is this not equally true in the case of teaching children? |
25887 | [ 24]"Who are you?" |
25887 | _ do_ tell me?" |
25887 | _"No!_"8/20 Mark?" |
25887 | and she tapped in reply:"36/ w";"and the next?" |
25887 | and the reply would be-- left paw 2, right paw 8: then:"9 × 3=?" |
25887 | and what has that to do with you? |
25887 | and what more?" |
25887 | are you saying_ sie intentionally_ now?" |
25887 | but why?" |
25887 | did n''t you wish to add something more?"... |
25887 | did you run against a tree?" |
25887 | do I belong to you?" |
25887 | do n''t I hear enough of it from senseless labourers and maids? |
25887 | do you know one?" |
25887 | do you know what that is?" |
25887 | do you mean music?" |
25887 | do you mean''when you ran''?" |
25887 | etc., and I followed this up with easy exercises such as:"How much is 2/8+ 1/4?" |
25887 | go on?" |
25887 | have you had good food at father''s?" |
25887 | have you heard of it?" |
25887 | have you promised that to each other?" |
25887 | how can honour be made good again?" |
25887 | how is it you always know when my friend is coming? |
25887 | is it bad?" |
25887 | may this not be your true vocation? |
25887 | ought this not to be a''d''?" |
25887 | said I,"did you_ feel_ what I was thinking?" |
25887 | she said:"Then tell me what the weather will be to- day?" |
25887 | surely the_ o_ should be a_ t_?" |
25887 | tell me something every day: what is it now?" |
25887 | tell me why you have been crying?" |
25887 | the end of the sentence you began before?" |
25887 | this being given with"1 r"( pause)"1 r"( another pause);"and the denominator?" |
25887 | this is what I have brought for you; what is it?'' |
25887 | to which the answer-- quite wide of the mark-- was--"wo wald?" |
25887 | what does the little thick pointer say now?" |
25887 | what will become of your body?" |
25887 | who do you like best of all people and animals?" |
25887 | why do you and Frechi always bite one another when you are allowed to go loose?" |
25887 | you have always called me_ du_ because you were fond of me-- isn''t that so? |
25887 | you mean to say you do n''t know?" |
11896 | ''What birds do you choose to be, that you may always live in the forest together?'' 11896 ''Why does n''t he move?'' |
11896 | ''_ Skin!_''What is that? |
11896 | A bird? 11896 A pair?" |
11896 | Ah, mammy, mammy,cried Olive, Dodo, and Nat together,"how did you know that we should be hungry now, and we are simply famishing?" |
11896 | And does Olive know all the flowers,chimed in Dodo,"and will you tell us about everything?" |
11896 | And does his mate understand that the drumming is meant to call her? |
11896 | And does n''t he sing a song like the other birds when he makes his nest? |
11896 | And the under parts of the last four-- what general color are they? |
11896 | And what are the others-- the Loons and Grubs-- are they wading or swimming birds? |
11896 | And when do they go away again? |
11896 | Are Geese Ducks? |
11896 | Are Gulls and Terns related? |
11896 | Are Storks and Cranes cousins of the Herons? |
11896 | Are all feathers like this one? |
11896 | Are all those nasty things in sausages? |
11896 | Are ants very bad things if they do n''t get into the sugar? |
11896 | Are n''t they any relations of Swallows? |
11896 | Are the Gulls still nesting, Uncle Roy? 11896 Are the birds different down there?" |
11896 | Are the game birds tree birds, or what? |
11896 | Are the small ones the females, or are there two kinds of Crows? |
11896 | Are there any Owls in these woods, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Are there any more water birds that we are likely to see this fall? |
11896 | Are there any other birds besides Gulls that nest on the island, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Are there many kinds of Woodpeckers in North America? |
11896 | Are there no bright- colored birds that live all winter where the trees are bare? |
11896 | Are they all plain red or only red in a ring around the seeing part where mine are blue? |
11896 | Are they cannibal birds that can eat other birds and mice? |
11896 | Are you going to tell us about many more birds in the Finch family, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Are you growing sleepy? |
11896 | Are you holding your knowledge tight in your pockets, or whistling to keep from telling it? |
11896 | As if something was saying''shirk- shirk''? |
11896 | Bonnet Martyr? 11896 But Johnny Wren works too, does n''t he?" |
11896 | But how are a bird''s wings like fore legs, when they have n''t got any paws or toes-- or fingers-- or claws-- only just long feathers? |
11896 | But how can they fly so far? |
11896 | But if Shrikes eat birds, are n''t they very bad Citizens? |
11896 | But if there is a law is some places and not in others, why do n''t the birds that travel get shot when they go about? |
11896 | But is n''t there anything besides animals and vegetables that they might be? 11896 But is not the mill close to the pond?" |
11896 | But the birds that can eat seeds and other things do not travel so far, do they? |
11896 | But the young birds who have been hatched up here-- how do they know about going the first time? |
11896 | But this is not all-- what becomes of the young birds? 11896 But what do they find to eat when everything is frozen stiff?" |
11896 | But what is''plumage,''Uncle Roy? |
11896 | But why is he called_ Myrtle_ Warbler? |
11896 | But would n''t the milk be good if the cows were not pretty, and there was no spring in the pasture? |
11896 | By and by, on the beach; but what if a frog or an eel should touch your foot, or a sharp straw stick in it-- are you enough of a boy not to scream? |
11896 | Ca n''t we go in now to ask Uncle Roy the names of these birds, and see if he wo n''t begin our book this afternoon? |
11896 | Can Ducks fly? |
11896 | Can I open the door? |
11896 | Can Rap go with us-- for he hardly ever gets down to the shore? |
11896 | Can any of them sing? |
11896 | Can birds hear through that? |
11896 | Can you always tell a Sea Duck from a River Duck by the feathers-- or how? |
11896 | Children, shall we have a Liberty Festival this morning? 11896 Colony? |
11896 | Could n''t we go very soon, uncle? 11896 Could n''t you begin with the dear singing birds and end with the far- away clumsy diving ones?" |
11896 | Could n''t you write a_ little_ book for us, uncle-- just a common little book, all in plain words? |
11896 | Did I say four Herons? |
11896 | Did I tole you dat I know''d whar dere''s a possum? 11896 Did he seem to say''_ Teacher_, TEACHER, TEACHER''?" |
11896 | Did he sing or only call? 11896 Did he walk with one foot after the other, or hop with both feet together? |
11896 | Did somebody named Martin find it, as Mr. Wilson found the Thrush they named after him? |
11896 | Did the birds hatch? |
11896 | Did the children throw sticks at the birds, or the birds pelt the children? |
11896 | Did they ever do that in our Orchard? |
11896 | Did they say anything about the Bird Brotherhood? |
11896 | Did you ever see a Woodcock? |
11896 | Did you ever see one alive, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Did you hear it sing? |
11896 | Did you hear the Night Herons calling as you came up? |
11896 | Did you never hear the''Wrens''duet''? 11896 Do Wrens and Mockingbirds belong to the same family?" |
11896 | Do either of them ever nest up the river? |
11896 | Do feathers keep on growing all the time, like my hair? |
11896 | Do many of these birds nest near our beach? |
11896 | Do many sicknesses come from not eating enough? |
11896 | Do n''t all birds sit on a perch when they go to sleep? |
11896 | Do n''t nails grow on the ends of toes? 11896 Do n''t you remember?" |
11896 | Do n''t you think, Doctor, that this nest is very thick underneath? |
11896 | Do the Barn Swallows that are making nests in the hayloft go as far south as Kingbirds? |
11896 | Do these Wrens look like our kind and act that way? |
11896 | Do they all belong to the same family? |
11896 | Do they build here? |
11896 | Do they build nests in trees? |
11896 | Do they live up in the trees where they sing? |
11896 | Do they stay around all the year? |
11896 | Do they still nest on Round Island? |
11896 | Do they work when they are through playing? |
11896 | Do you mean berries, please, uncle? |
11896 | Do you remember how the little Brown Creeper propped himself against the tree when he looked for insects? |
11896 | Do you see any birds in that meadow of long grass? |
11896 | Do you think he was, uncle? |
11896 | Do you think you will remember the Chickadee, while he is in the deep woods nesting this summer, so that you will know him again in the autumn? |
11896 | Do_ all_ birds eat bugs and such things? |
11896 | Does he build high up in a tree? |
11896 | Does he build his nest in myrtle? 11896 Does he build in chimneys?" |
11896 | Does he feel the cold weather very much? 11896 Does he never sleep?" |
11896 | Does he wish to show you his deep narrow nest, made of grape- vine bark, old leaves, and grass? 11896 Does it sing well? |
11896 | Does the Creeper stay here all summer? |
11896 | Does this Kinglet lay two little white eggs, like the Hummingbird? |
11896 | Does this bird make any noise, and why is he called the Whip- poor- will? |
11896 | Does this hateful Cowbird over sing? |
11896 | Feathers and bones for building birds? |
11896 | Has the Great Blue Heron pretty feathers like a Bluebird? |
11896 | Have I seen any yet? |
11896 | Have they any other song? |
11896 | Have we used up all the Blackbird family? |
11896 | Have you got a Hummingbird''s nest on your farm, and a Swallow chimney? |
11896 | Have you seen his nest? |
11896 | How are his eyes red, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | How big would you call it? |
11896 | How can birds possibly work to help people? |
11896 | How can fish run when they have no legs? |
11896 | How can it sit on them all at once and keep them warm enough to hatch? |
11896 | How can the little Ducks get down to the ground-- do their wings grow strong very soon? |
11896 | How can they get away if any one hunts them? |
11896 | How did you get out of the barn, sir? |
11896 | How did you know that Robin from all the others? |
11896 | How did you know that? |
11896 | How do they make the sticks stay in the chimney? 11896 How do_ you_ know?" |
11896 | How does he make that queer noise? |
11896 | How does it catch fish? |
11896 | How far is it? |
11896 | How is that, Uncle Roy? 11896 How late at night does the Wood Thrush sing?" |
11896 | How long is he? 11896 How long is my finger?" |
11896 | How many did you condemn as really bad cannibals? |
11896 | How much does she ask for them? |
11896 | How would you like to go down to the seashore to- morrow, little folks? |
11896 | I began by asking, Where do we find this bird? 11896 I can see why they go south,"said Rap, after thinking a few moments,"but why do they come back again? |
11896 | I know it-- I made it!--Would you think it? |
11896 | I will go down and ask your mother to let you come and hear the stories with the other children-- how would you like that, Rap? |
11896 | I wonder if you fed them with cod- liver oil and licorice lozenges if their voices would be better? |
11896 | I wonder what makes the water go in and out? |
11896 | If they eat seed, why do n''t they stay here all winter? |
11896 | If you please, Doctor, which of the birds that sing will you begin with? |
11896 | In a few weeks we must be off-- how have you enjoyed the summer? |
11896 | Is it a pistol to shoot birds? 11896 Is it made of plant- down, too?" |
11896 | Is n''t he a Warbler? |
11896 | Is n''t it lovely? |
11896 | Is n''t it pretty? |
11896 | Is n''t it very hard to tell young Night Herons from Bitterns? |
11896 | Is n''t it very stupid to sit there so long? |
11896 | Is n''t it wise the ways things are fixed? |
11896 | Is n''t that a Nuthatch now? |
11896 | Is n''t the Great White Owl one of these? |
11896 | Is that Veery only visiting here, or will he build a nest? |
11896 | Is that bird a Warbler? |
11896 | Is that some kind of a cousin? |
11896 | Is there a law about killing birds? |
11896 | Is there only one kind of Crossbill in North America? |
11896 | Long- eared Owl, what have you to say? |
11896 | May I come too? |
11896 | May I go down to buy them? |
11896 | May not we men have some too? |
11896 | May we go to see the Herons some day? 11896 May we see the book you are writing, Uncle Roy, and learn all about the birds out of it?" |
11896 | Nighthawks? |
11896 | Now the next sort of food-- meat, the flesh of animals-- oxen, sheep, pigs, and poultry-- what do they feed on? |
11896 | Now what is there that preys upon all this vegetable life-- upon every plant, from the grass to the tree, destroying them all equally? |
11896 | Of course it is n''t,said Dodo;"it has n''t any feathers on its beak or on its feet, else how could it eat and hop about?" |
11896 | Oh, where do they go, and what for? |
11896 | Oh, yes, a round swelled- up place; but what is the good of it? |
11896 | One for the dish? 11896 Please tell us,"continued Rap,"how many different kinds of Ducks there are in our country?" |
11896 | Please, Doctor, does he sometimes fly right up in the air to sing a little bit and then go back into the bushes as if he had changed his mind? |
11896 | Please, Doctor, what is the name of the Bird family we are going to visit? |
11896 | Please, Olive, wo n''t you tell us the table for the Chimney Swift now? |
11896 | Please, Uncle Roy, can I go with Rap? |
11896 | Please, Uncle Roy, what is a ventroquist? |
11896 | Please, ca n''t I have my shoes off too? |
11896 | Please, uncle, what birds are cannibals? |
11896 | Please, what does iris mean? 11896 Please, what is a pot- hunter?" |
11896 | Rails, what are they? |
11896 | Rap says that August is a poor month for birds about here,said Nat to his uncle;"do you think there will be more of them down at the shore?" |
11896 | Rap, have you ever noticed the difference between the sounds in a spring night and a night in autumn? 11896 River Ducks?" |
11896 | See, Olive,said Dodo,"what is that down in the grass by the fence? |
11896 | So some wood birds eat fish, as well as the Osprey that we saw at the beach; but how do they chew them, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | So who would not welcome this bird, who pays his rent and taxes in so cheerful a manner, and thanks you with a song into the bargain? 11896 So you have changed your mind about House People?" |
11896 | So you see, children, this miner knew a Rock Wren-- do you know a Jenny Wren? |
11896 | So you_ have_ been eating other birds? |
11896 | Something the way frogs''feet are? |
11896 | Speaking of cold, I wonder what became of the ice that Dodo saw Mammy Bun cracking this morning? |
11896 | Suppose we ask mammy to come and tell us about the Mockingbirds herself,said Olive,"May we, father?" |
11896 | Talking? 11896 That is a good idea, my boy,"said the Doctor, who had finished his letters and was leaving his desk;"only what and where is the beginning?" |
11896 | That is all very well in its way,said the Doctor,"but which one of you can imitate his song?" |
11896 | That''s a Nighthawk-- don''t you remember the bird we heard early one morning in the river woods? 11896 The Hermit?" |
11896 | The Olive- back? |
11896 | The Robin? |
11896 | The Veery? |
11896 | The Wood Thrush? |
11896 | The little round bunch that looks like soft green moss? |
11896 | Then has n''t a bird got any legs, Uncle Roy, only just feet? |
11896 | Then it is n''t wrong for people to kill these birds for food? |
11896 | Then the Wood Pewee builds late, like the Cedar Waxwing and Goldfinch? |
11896 | Then the very dark Gulls I have seen off our beach in winter are the young ones? |
11896 | Then we sha n''t hear him sing or see his nest-- have you ever seen it, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Then when the new feathers come they are sometimes quite different from the old ones, and seldom quite so bright-- why is this, Nat? |
11896 | Then why does n''t it all tip off into the sky? |
11896 | These Tanagers are n''t very plenty about here-- are they, Doctor? |
11896 | This is the bird I saw the first day I went to the orchard with Olive; but why is he called a Nuthatch? |
11896 | Travel-- do birds travel? |
11896 | Veeries? 11896 Was his breast plain or speckled? |
11896 | Was this earth ever young, Doctor? |
11896 | Wash clothes? |
11896 | Watch him when he drops,said the Doctor;"do you not see that he does so with open wings? |
11896 | Watching them to like them or to catch them? |
11896 | Well, little boy,said Olive pleasantly,"what is your name, and what are you doing here?" |
11896 | What a very sad noise they are making-- do you think they are afraid of us? |
11896 | What are their names, and shall we see them here? |
11896 | What are those birds over there? |
11896 | What bird do you think Uncle Roy will tell us about first? |
11896 | What birds will you begin with, please, Doctor Roy,said Rap,"the singers or the cannibals?" |
11896 | What birds will you tell us about to- night? |
11896 | What can be the matter with all those Sea Swallows on the other side of the island? |
11896 | What can that be? |
11896 | What did he call you? 11896 What do Wild Ducks eat?" |
11896 | What do they eat, cones or little seeds? |
11896 | What do they look like very near by? |
11896 | What do you think those birds are doing, Rap,said Nat;"looking at themselves in the water or playing tag?" |
11896 | What does the Osprey look like near to? |
11896 | What does_ citizen_ mean? |
11896 | What else did Mammy Bun tell you? |
11896 | What family does he train with? |
11896 | What guild does he belong to? |
11896 | What happens when the Cowbird''s egg stays in the nest and hatches out? 11896 What has the Bluebird?" |
11896 | What have mulberry trees to do with birds? |
11896 | What is a Night Heron-- a cousin of the Nighthawk, who lives near the water? |
11896 | What is a cannibal bird? |
11896 | What is a com- pos- ite flower? |
11896 | What is a drone, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | What is a guild? |
11896 | What is a hearing? |
11896 | What is all this trouble about? |
11896 | What is an architect? |
11896 | What is he saying? |
11896 | What is in that black case, uncle? |
11896 | What is it? 11896 What is one thing that man and every other animal must have to keep him alive?" |
11896 | What is that soft stuff? |
11896 | What is that? 11896 What is that?" |
11896 | What is the book you were reading when we came up? |
11896 | What is the crop? |
11896 | What is the whole of your name? |
11896 | What is wooing? |
11896 | What kind of eggs do they lay? |
11896 | What makes all the different colors of birds, Doctor? |
11896 | What trade does the Ovenbird belong to? |
11896 | What was he doing-- feeding on the ground or in a tree? 11896 What was his general color? |
11896 | What would you call it, Olive? |
11896 | What''s that? |
11896 | What''s that? |
11896 | What''s that? |
11896 | What_ is_ the matter? |
11896 | When do the Summer Citizens begin to come back to their nesting places? |
11896 | When do they dance? |
11896 | When shall we ever see these Ducks? |
11896 | Where did all these big birds come from? |
11896 | Where did you find this bit? |
11896 | Where do I live? 11896 Where does he belong?" |
11896 | Where would the nest most likely be? |
11896 | Who are the Wise Men? |
11896 | Who are the people that pay him, Uncle Roy?'' |
11896 | Why did he go away last fall? |
11896 | Why did n''t you say, Dodo, because there has to be something for the feathers to stick into? |
11896 | Why do birds always build nests in spring? |
11896 | Why do n''t they nest in trees up North? |
11896 | Why do n''t we see swarms and swarms of them flying by? |
11896 | Why do n''t you ask your father to buy you a whole book, instead of grubbing in rag- bags? |
11896 | Why do people have business? |
11896 | Why do they call this Warbler a''Redstart''? |
11896 | Why do they travel so much, if they are only American birds? |
11896 | Why do we want to hear about this bird if he lives so far north? |
11896 | Why do you call the Bobolink a''harlequin,''Uncle Roy? 11896 Why do you call us Sandpipers, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Why do you mostly have something nice for us to eat on bird- days? |
11896 | Why does he jerk his tail so? |
11896 | Why does n''t he get into evergreens or cedar bushes? |
11896 | Why does n''t she let them out? |
11896 | Why does this bird receive so much attention? 11896 Why is he called the Wood Thrush?" |
11896 | Why is it called''Martin''? |
11896 | Why is that? |
11896 | Why is that? |
11896 | Will the nests last after they are empty, Uncle Roy, so we can find some? |
11896 | Will you please tell us why Ducks have such waddling legs? |
11896 | Will you? 11896 Wo n''t you come up to breakfast with us, Rap? |
11896 | Wo n''t you let us go up to the wonder room now and see all these Thrush cousins in a row? |
11896 | Would n''t it be nice if we knew all that the animals and birds do, and could see what they see, besides being ourselves? |
11896 | Would you call this Creeper mostly a winter bird? |
11896 | Yes, an Oriole; but do you know what kind? |
11896 | Yes, but how did they dance? |
11896 | Yes, but that is no stranger, as far as looks go, than to find a flaming Oriole in the Blackbird family, is it? 11896 You are right, my boy,"said the Doctor, looking at him attentively;"and would you also like to know how this beautiful boat is made? |
11896 | You said a lot of birds came last night,said Nat to Rap;"but how do you know that they came last night and where did they come from?" |
11896 | A BONNET MARTYR AND A BLUE GIANT"You promised to tell us about four Herons-- please, who are the other two?" |
11896 | An Eagle?" |
11896 | And after dinner we can accept Olive''s invitation and make candy-- can''t we, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | And please, do they chew their food with the teeth you said they had?" |
11896 | And what are those dark streaky birds over there?" |
11896 | And will you tell Nat why you let yourself shoot birds when you wo n''t let him?" |
11896 | Are Ostriches killed for their feathers, Uncle Roy? |
11896 | Are n''t the brown ones Bitterns? |
11896 | Are n''t the other little birds squeezed and uncomfortable?" |
11896 | Are n''t you coming, uncle, and Rap too, to tell us about clams?" |
11896 | Are n''t you one of the seven Wise Men of-- of-- I- forget- where?" |
11896 | Are there any such things as water Swallows, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Are there such things?" |
11896 | Are they dry leaves blown about by the gust? |
11896 | Are they rowers and coverts too?" |
11896 | Are those Cowbirds too? |
11896 | Brother Osprey?" |
11896 | But if you kill a bird, of what use is its dead body to you?" |
11896 | But now, what do you notice about this Sparrow''s feet?" |
11896 | But see-- what do you think of this-- isn''t it a beauty?" |
11896 | But the children said,''There is no war or hate in our forest; the birds meet-- why may not we?'' |
11896 | But what did I promise to tell you of to- day, children?" |
11896 | But what do you suppose its feathers are for?" |
11896 | But what is a''tree limit''?" |
11896 | But what of that? |
11896 | But where did I leave Mr. Jore- e Blur- re?" |
11896 | But why is his name''Vireo''--does that mean anything?" |
11896 | But why must I eat something, uncle? |
11896 | But would any one refuse a mess of peas to a neighbor in the next house? |
11896 | But, Nat, how can feathers make a bird lighter, when every one of them weighs something, and a bird has to carry them all? |
11896 | But, Uncle Roy, why did people want to kill these good, food birds when they did n''t care to eat them?" |
11896 | But,"he added, thinking of the way he had seen hens mope when they were moulting,"does it hurt birds to lose their feathers, uncle?" |
11896 | CHAPTER XVI A TRIBE OF WEED WARRIORS( Containing both Soldiers and Quakers)"A new family? |
11896 | Ca n''t I give him some of the dried huckleberries?'' |
11896 | Can you guess what it is?" |
11896 | Can you tell a bird''s name without seeing it, only by one little cry?" |
11896 | Can you tell me some of them?" |
11896 | Did I not say that there were both Quakers and soldiers in it?" |
11896 | Did I tole you dat I know''d whar dere''s a coon? |
11896 | Did n''t you ever notice the dots all over the skin of a chicken? |
11896 | Did you ever think of trying to cut off one of your fingers with your jack- knife, to see if you could do it, or how it is made?" |
11896 | Do Herons nest on roofs and stand on one leg, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Do n''t you know her? |
11896 | Do n''t you remember Olive said so last week when she told us about all the grains?" |
11896 | Do n''t you think Uncle Roy will tell us?" |
11896 | Do n''t you think so, Dodo?" |
11896 | Do the Crows care? |
11896 | Do these birds eat people?" |
11896 | Do they live about here?" |
11896 | Do you hear that cry high in the air?" |
11896 | Do you hear? |
11896 | Do you know anything about this Dove, Rap?" |
11896 | Do you know how many bad insects I eat?" |
11896 | Do you know what it is, Olive?" |
11896 | Do you realize, my lads, that we have been out two hours?" |
11896 | Do you remember having ever seen, a Canary with such markings?" |
11896 | Do you remember what I told you that rainy day in my study about this moulting or changing of feathers?" |
11896 | Do you remember who the other two are?" |
11896 | Do you think he has come out of a cage?" |
11896 | Do you think he might be one of these Thrushes? |
11896 | Do you think it can be any sort of a wild animal?" |
11896 | Do you think that birds grow like potatoes and are dug out of the ground, or come off trees like apples?" |
11896 | Do you think that is so? |
11896 | Do you think that will do, and will uncle know his name? |
11896 | Does Olive know about''nearly a thousand''?" |
11896 | Even strong winter birds do n''t like the wind much-- do they, Doctor?" |
11896 | Father, may we come in? |
11896 | Female]"What was that?" |
11896 | Golden Eagle, what is your bill of fare?" |
11896 | Have birds any ears, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Have n''t you watched them long enough to think it out?" |
11896 | Have they any name?" |
11896 | Have they any other name-- because I have never seen them catch bees?" |
11896 | Have you forgotten that he does not belong to the Swallow family? |
11896 | He grows reckless and says to his brothers,''What do we care? |
11896 | He is such a bright yellow that gold is a good name for him, but what does''Finch''mean?" |
11896 | He seems to be crying,''Where are you, dear?'' |
11896 | He should belong to a tropical country and have orchids and palms for companions-- but instead, where do we find him?" |
11896 | How are they relations of Swallows?" |
11896 | How could toes grow from legs without any feet between? |
11896 | How do feathers grow, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | How do they ask their mates to marry them?" |
11896 | How do you like that? |
11896 | How is it that you have so many birds about your house?" |
11896 | How long do you think it is?" |
11896 | How many different kinds of birds do you think there are in''our America,''my little Yankee?" |
11896 | How would you like for me to buy these birds and bring them here, so that you can see them, then-- then what?" |
11896 | I do n''t know how I ever came to see him; but when I did, he looked so queer that he almost scared me, and I said to the miller,''Whatever is that?'' |
11896 | I wonder if Rap would invite me also?" |
11896 | I wonder what they are saying?" |
11896 | I wonder why she does it?" |
11896 | I''ve whistled to birds ever since I could pucker up my lips, and father taught me how-- didn''t you, father dear? |
11896 | If a Sparrow has a pair of feet that correspond to a mouse''s hind feet, what do you think a Sparrow''s wings correspond to in a mouse?" |
11896 | If they eat those weed- seeds and do not need insects they can live here all winter-- can''t they, uncle?" |
11896 | Is he named Ovenbird because he has a door in one side of his nest like an oven?" |
11896 | Is it a bargain?" |
11896 | Is it entirely covered with feathers?" |
11896 | Is n''t he a relation of the Nuthatch, Doctor?" |
11896 | Is that his song, Cousin Olive?" |
11896 | Is that true, Doctor, or do they belong to some good guild?" |
11896 | Is that what you call those birds?" |
11896 | Is there a beam or little nook of any sort that will hold a nest? |
11896 | Is there more to come, little one?" |
11896 | Is there only one in his family?" |
11896 | Marsh Hawk, where and how do you live?" |
11896 | May I call Rap to tell him? |
11896 | May I cut him a pair out of paper?" |
11896 | Next week, perhaps?" |
11896 | Now do you know them?" |
11896 | Now do you wonder that I call this beautiful Snowy Egret the Bonnet Martyr?" |
11896 | Now look again-- can you see anything else about the Sparrow''s beak?" |
11896 | Now what do you call the end of your foot which is opposite the end on which the toes grow?" |
11896 | Now you must answer the next question, Nat; what do toes grow on?" |
11896 | Peabody?" |
11896 | Please, can I have them? |
11896 | Please, uncle, do n''t these birds have dreadful headaches very often?" |
11896 | Really, really? |
11896 | Soldiers and Quakers? |
11896 | Suppose when the door opens they should get out and fly away?" |
11896 | THE CHIMNEY SWIFT"Now, would n''t you like to see the big chimney?" |
11896 | THE LOUISIANA TANAGER"Is n''t this the one I saw in your glass case, Doctor?" |
11896 | Then why should you begrudge a few to neighbor B. Oriole? |
11896 | Then you must try to answer the following questions:"How many inches long was he? |
11896 | There are a few game birds in this glass case-- some Pigeons and Grouse; suppose we finish the morning in their company? |
11896 | There are a great many different kinds of nests, are n''t there, uncle?" |
11896 | There is a great flock of Gulls going off together-- are they beginning their fall journey?" |
11896 | Those meddlesome House People have put two new pieces of glass in the hayloft window, and how shall I ever get in to build my nest?" |
11896 | Though she does not sing to House People, how do we know but what she whispers a little lullaby like this, on stormy nights, to her nestlings? |
11896 | Uncle Roy, what kind of birds are those calling away over in the marshes?" |
11896 | What are all those black and brown birds walking round after the cows, just as chickens do?" |
11896 | What are you taking the nest away for? |
11896 | What are you waiting for?" |
11896 | What did he say about the Brotherhood?" |
11896 | What did you see, Nat?" |
11896 | What do they set them on, and how do they perch while they are building?" |
11896 | What do you mean?" |
11896 | What do you think of this?" |
11896 | What does he say-- for the song of two short bars surely has words? |
11896 | What does that mean?" |
11896 | What good are birds anyway? |
11896 | What is a harlequin?" |
11896 | What is bread made of?" |
11896 | What is it? |
11896 | What is its name, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | What is the matter with them, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | What more natural than that they should have a house close at hand in some tree whose wood is soft enough to be hollowed out? |
11896 | What''s the matter-- what''s the matter? |
11896 | When some one calls you in the garden, ca n''t you tell whether it is Dodo or Olive?" |
11896 | Where are their nests, Doctor? |
11896 | Where did you get it, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Where is Olive?" |
11896 | Where?" |
11896 | Who can tell me the difference between a mouse and a Sparrow?" |
11896 | Who comes next? |
11896 | Who knows? |
11896 | Why am I, without season or reason, sometimes rusty- red and sometimes mottled gray? |
11896 | Why did n''t they fly instead of dodging about so-- are their nests in the reeds?" |
11896 | Why do n''t they stay and build their nests down there?" |
11896 | Why do they go there, Doctor?" |
11896 | Why do we think that the male has the gayest feathers-- do you remember that also?" |
11896 | Why do you call him that? |
11896 | Why does n''t he belong to the Birds that Scratch?" |
11896 | Why is it called the Vesper Sparrow-- what does Vesper mean, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | Why may you not meet some of these Ducks by the river, or see them swimming on the pond? |
11896 | Why must you leave the farm? |
11896 | Will you really let me come? |
11896 | Would it be too far for you to come, sir?" |
11896 | You all know what a cone is like, I think?" |
11896 | You all know what a well- rounded, compact body a Duck has; do you remember having seen one carved, and how very hard it was to cut off its legs?" |
11896 | You remember I told you that young birds usually wear plain feathers like their mothers?" |
11896 | You remember the booming sound made by the wings of the Nighthawk, when the air whizzed through them? |
11896 | You say, Rap, that you found one of these nests-- won''t you tell us about it?" |
11896 | [ Illustration: American Crossbill]"How and where do you think these birds build their nests in such a cold season?" |
11896 | a little blue and white bird like the one that bobs out of mother''s carved clock at home? |
11896 | asked Dodo,"seeds or bugs or fish?" |
11896 | asked Dodo;"the Wise Men?" |
11896 | asked Nat;"and do any good?" |
11896 | asked Nat;"in a tree or a bush?" |
11896 | asked Nat;"what does it look like flying?" |
11896 | asked Rap,"with the paddling birds or the swimming ones?" |
11896 | called Olive;"has a bee stung you?" |
11896 | cried both the children,"will you ask mother and father to come here for a little? |
11896 | do clams grow in hills like potatoes? |
11896 | interrupted Nat;"why, they do n''t look one bit alike-- how can it be, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | on the outside of the woods? |
11896 | questioned Rap;"then are there different kinds of Ducks for rivers and lakes, and for salt water?" |
11896 | said Dodo;"because if it was very cold would n''t berries freeze as hard as pebbles?" |
11896 | said Nat;"it''s hundreds of miles; and how do they find the way?" |
11896 | said Nat;"what is the reason for that? |
11896 | the Herons are squawking again-- won''t you tell us about them now, Uncle Roy?" |
11896 | what happens to whistling girls?" |
11896 | what is the next thing you notice about this Sparrow? |
