tion of the several specimens proved this surmise to be correct, Mr. Seeley's types answering exactly to the middle and upper por- tions of the Gault specimen, which also possessed the angulated body- whorl of the other Cambridge casts.

The shell was consequently described by Mr. Gardner under the generic name of Brachy stoma, and its affinities with the Aporrhaidse duly pointed out.

Pyrgiscus tenulstrlatus, Gardner, Geol. Mag. dec. 2, vol. iii. p. 112.

In his valuable paper on Cretaceous Gasteropoda above referred to, Mr. Gardner describes some scalariform shells similar to the C. tenulstr latum of Mr. Seeley, referring them all to Philippi's genus Pyrgiscus, and deprecating at the same time the union of such forms with the genus Chemnltzla.

The reason which he gives for the revival of this genus, viz. the want of columellar plaits, can hardly be regarded as sufficient, especially as I find on referring to the ' Enum. Molluscorum Siciliae,' vol. ii. p. 136/ that Philippi himself acknowledged its identity with the Chemnltzla of D'Orbigny.

It is difficult to understand why palaeontologists have ignored the existence of the latter genus in Cretaceous rocks, when it is recorded from Jurassic beds, and known in Tertiary and Recent times ; and I cannot help thinking that many of the so-called Scalarlce are in reality Chemnltzla?.

Mr. Gardner's own description of Pyrgiscus is almost identical with that of Chemnltzla in Woodward's ' Manual of the Mollusca,' p. 239 ; and it essentially differs from Scalarla in the form of the mouth, and by its incomplete peristome.

It is remarkable that the two other species described by Mr. Gardner are from the Folkestone Gault and the Blackdown beds respectively; they are certainly all very closely related, and may, I think, turn out to be varieties of the same form when more specimens come to be compared.

The figures of Turbo Plctetlanus, both in D'Orbigny and Pictet & Roux, fail to give an adequate idea of this shell ; and if Mr. Seeley had never seen specimens he may be forgiven for not having recognized the identity of the Cambridge fossil with the Perte-du- Rhone form.

Specimens now in the Woodwardian Museum, however, leave no

designation, and that they do not properly belong to the family of the Strombidse at all. The Aporrhaidse (with which they are now classed) should, I think, constitute a distinct family, intermediate between Cerithiadae and Strombidse, and probably representing the branch from the former which led to the development of the latter.

In the ' Geological Magazine,' 1875, p. 52, Mr. Gardner carefully describes this species, and calls attention to the great resemblance between it and that figured by Pictet and Campiche under the name of A. bicornis.

With regard to P. globulatum, I was inclined to look upon it as a distinct form, and communicated this opinion to Mr. Gardner in 1875 ; I have since had the opportunity of inspecting the specimens in Mr. Carter's large collection ; and these have convinced me that P. globulatum should be considered as a dwarf race of 0. retusus.

I believe therefore that, although one or more of the above- mentioned forms may be viewed as a definite local variety, yet, the same specific description being applicable to all of them, they should be regarded as constituting a group, of which 0. retusus may be taken as the type.

Ornithopus histochilus, Gardn.

Aporrhdis histochila, Gardner, Geol. Mag. 1875, pi. vii. figs. 5, 6.

In March 1875 I forwarded to Mr. Gardner some casts from the Cambridge bed, which had been referred to Pteroceras Fittoni, asking him at the same time whether this species had ever been obtained from the Gault. This question he answered in the negative, but remarked at the same time that although the specimens sent were very like P. Fittoni, yet they still more closely resembled an undescribed form from the Upper Greensand of Devizes which he intended shortly to investigate. The result of his researches appeared in the July number of the Geol. Mag., where he figured and described this form under the name of Aporrhdis histochila, noting its occurrence in the Upper Greensand at Cambridge, and in the Gault of Folkestone.

The species is allied to A, Fittoni and A. retusa, Mr. Gardner including them all in his proposed genus Ornithopus. Thus, there- fore, another Cambridge form proves to be identical with a Gault species, though in this case it happens to be found in the Upper Greensand as well.

possessing three rows of tubercles instead of four, yet there are many characters common to the two species ; and it must be remem- bered that tubercles are sometimes represented by ribs as in T. eostatus.

Altogether I consider that the above-mentioned species hold such relations to one another as make it only reasonable to suppose that they have been produced by descent with modification.

The Cambridge form might receive the name of T. canta- brigiensis*

? Turrilites Emericianus, D'Orb.

Turrilites Emericianus, D'Orb. Pal. Pr. pi. cxli. figs 3-5.

The Woodwardian Museum possesses a small dextral cast, which appears to be referable to the above species, or is, at any rate, very closely allied to it.

Only two whorls are preserved ; but these are sufficient to show its low squat growth, and to distinguish it from T. Hugardianus. These whorls are rounded and ornamented with about 24 simple straight ribs, running down into the umbilicus, which is wide and ample.

Turrilites elegans, D'Orb.

This species does not yield a very well-marked cast; several specimens, however, have passed through my hands which greatly resembled it ; one of these is now in the Museum at Jermyn Street.

Turrilites nobilis, new sp. PL XXI. fig. 1.

Cast rather large, dextral, whorls full and rounded, crossed some- what obliquely by 26 to 28 well-marked ribs, each bearing three small tubercles ; the lower row of these is only seen on the body- whorl, being sutural in the whorls above. The ribs appear to run under the base, and to converge towards the umbilicus, their impressions being seen on the broken uppermost whorl.

The spiral angle is very small ; and the whorls were probably nume- rous, as in T. Hugardianus, from which it is easily distinguished by the rows of tubercles. The specimen above described was collected during the progress of the Geological Survey ; and the last whorl of a cast apparently belonging to the same form is preserved in the Woodwardian Museum. The actual shell is unknown, but was probably thin, as in other Turrilites ; so that its characters are suffi- ciently delineated by the cast : I have therefore thought that the species might safely be described and named. From T. Wiestii it is distinguished by the broader whorls and less prominent tubercles, in this respect approaching T. Escherianus,

There is another form, however, with which they have some relations, viz. A. sexangulcitus, Seeley. To the figured type of this they have little resemblance ; but other specimens which Mr. Seeley has recently referred to this species are very like them, and, if he is not mistaken in these later determinations, I think the above name must also be added to the synonymy of A. rliamno- notus. It is possible that the two originally described specimens may really be a distinct species ; but I am more inclined to consider that these constitute a strongly marked variety of this variable form, for which the varietal designation sexangulatus may be conveniently retained.

In thus proposing to group under one specific name several forms which, in their extreme modifications, are very unlike one another, I am ouly following the plan suggested by Mr. Seeley himself in his excellent paper on the Cambridge Ammonites, in which he describes numerous varieties of the four types, splendens, auritus, Raulinianus, and Studeri, regarding these as but subspecies of a larger group, for which he suggests the name of A. permutatus.

Ammonites ccelonotus, Seeley.

A. coelonotus, var., Seelev, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 3rd ser. vol. xvi. p. 238, pi. x. fig. 3.

A. valbonnensis, Hebert & Mun.-Ch. in Description du Bassin d'Uchaux, Ann. des Sc. Geol. tome vi. pi. 4. fig. 3.

It may be well to call attention to the identity of these two shells, separately figured and described in the two publications above mentioned. Mr. Seeley describes two varieties of his species ; but the figures are unfortunately very poor. They are, however, sufficiently recognizable ; and had Prof. Hebert seen them, he would probably not have described his A. valbonnensis as a new species. One advantage, however, has been derived from his oversight, namely the presence of an excellent figure of this variety in the Annales des Sciences Geologiques ; it might almost, indeed, have been taken from a specimen now in the Woodwardian Museum. I would suggest, therefore, that it hereafter stand under the name of A. coelonotus var. valbonnensis.

Ammonites acanthonotus, Seeley.

A. acanthonotus, Seeley, Ann. & Mag. Nat. Hist. 3rd ser. vol. xvi. p. 234, pi. xi. fig. 5.

After describing this peculiar form, Mr. Seeley remarks that a slight inflation extends all round one side of the whorl ; " but," he says, " from the near resemblance the shell has to A. glossonotus, I am not inclined to give that weight to the distortion it other- wise would have. The late Dr. S. P. Woodward, in 1862, regarded this shell as a monstrosity of A. lautus, Sow., a view with which I cannot agree."

In my opinion, however, there can be no doubt that Dr. Wood-

the pinched-up back ; this character is very conspicuous in the inner whorl, but becomes gradually less in the later chambers.

The species was found by Leymerie in the Gault of the Departe- ment de PAube ; but I have not seen it quoted from any other locality.

Nautllcis dosqualis, Sow.

Nautilus incequalis, Sow. Min. Conch, pi. lx. lower figs. Nautilus Clementinus (?), Pict. & Camp. Ste. Croix, vol. i. pi. xix. fig. 1-5 (nee D'Orb).

If the figure and description of M. d'Orbigny's Nautilus clemen- tinus be compared with those of Pictet and Campiche, I think it will be evident that the two are really different species, supposing, of course, that the figures are correct representations of the original specimens. This can only be decided by an inspection of the types, which I have not had an opportunity of making ; it is remarkable, however, that both the figured forms appear to be represented among the Cambridge Nautili. Those agreeing with the N. Clementinus of D'Orbigny are large and somewhat compressed, oblong in cross section, not inflated, but rather flattened near the umbilicus, which is small. Those resembling the figure of Pietet and Campiche are more inflated, and broader in proportion to their length, with a larger umbilicus bordered by a low keel (which, however, is not so marked as in N. expansus) ; the siphuncle is situated close to the inner edge of the chamber. Both forms have numerous close-set chambers, about 16 being visible ; but the latter does not appear to attain so large a size as the true N. Clementinus.

The smaller and more inflated form certainly appears to exist in the Folkestone Gault, and when obtained thence has, I believe, been usually referred to the N incequalis of Sowerby, with the meagre description and poor figures of which it sufficiently agrees. If, therefore, I am correct in the above surmises, the N. Clementinus of Pictet and Camp, becomes a synonym of N. incequalis, Sow. The inequality of the chambers in the young shell, and the increasing propinquity of the septa being, however, the ordinary mode of growth in the genus, its designation seems rather meaningless.

Nautilus n. sp.

Cast oblong, umbilicated, chambers few, only 12 being generally visible, and the last ones being as high as they are wide ; the septa are consequently wide apart, sinuate and bent back near the umbilicus ; siphuncle situated outside the centre and about one third of the distance from the outer edge.

This is the commonest form of Nautilus among the Cambridge coprolites, but does not seem to agree with any previously described. Casts of the umbilicus seem to indicate that the shell had faint longitudinal striae crossed by the lines of growth. Until, however, the shell has been found and the Nautili of the Gault more thoroughly investigated, it will be safer not to give a name to the above- described casts.

25.

From the formulæ of the preceding article, which refer to a right triangle formed by shortest lines, we proceed to the general case. Let $C$ be another point on the same shortest line $DB,$  for which point $p$  remains the same as for the point $B,$  and $q',$  $r',$  $\phi',$  $\psi',$  $S'$  have the same meanings as $q,$  $r,$  $\phi,$  $\psi,$  $S$  have for the point $B.$  There will thus be a triangle between the points $A,$  $B,$  $C,$  whose angles we denote by $A,$  $B,$  $C,$  the sides opposite these angles by $a,$  $b,$  $c,$  and the area by $\sigma.$  We represent the measure of curvature at the points $A,$  $B,$  $C$  by $\alpha,$  $\beta,$  $\gamma$  respectively. And then supposing (which is permissible) that the quantities $p,$  $q,$  $q - q'$ are positive, we shall have

$$\begin{aligned} A &= \phi - \phi', & B &= \psi, & C &= \pi - \psi', && \\ a &= q - q',      & b &= r',   & c &= r,           & \sigma &= S - S'. \end{aligned}$$

We shall first express the area $\sigma$ by a series. By changing in [7] each of the quantities that refer to $B$ into those that refer to $C,$  we obtain a formula for $S'.$  Whence we have, exact to quantities of the sixth order,

$$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}p(q - q') \bigl(1 &- \tfrac{1}{6} f^{\circ}(p^{2} + q^{2} + qq' + q'^{2}) \\         &- \tfrac{1}{60}f'p(6p^{2} + 7q^{2} + 7qq' + 7q'^{2}) \\          &- \tfrac{1}{20}g^{\circ}(q + q')(3p^{2} + 4q^{2} + 4q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

This formula, by aid of series [2], namely,

$$c\sin B = p(1 - \tfrac{1}{3}f^{\circ}q^{2}             - \tfrac{1}{4}f'pq^{2}              - \tfrac{1}{2}g^{\circ}q^{3} - \text{etc.})$$

can be changed into the following:

$$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}ac\sin B \bigl(1 &- \tfrac{1}{6} f^{\circ}(p^{2} - q^{2} + qq' + q'^{2}) \\          &- \tfrac{1}{60}f'p(6p^{2} - 8q^{2} + 7qq' + 7q'^{2}) \\          &- \tfrac{1}{20}g^{\circ}    (3p^{2}q + 3p^{2}q' - 6p^{3} + 4q^{2}q' + 4qq'^{2} + 4q'^{3})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

The measure of curvature for any point whatever of the surface becomes (by Art. 19, where $m,$  $p,$  $q$ were what $n,$  $q,$  $p$  are here)

$$\begin{aligned} k &= -\frac{1}{n}. \frac{\partial^{2} n}{\partial q^{2}} = -\frac{2f + 6gq + 12hq^{2} + \text{etc.}}{1 + fq^{2} + \text{etc.}} \\ &= -2f - 6gq - (12h - 2f^{2}) q^{2} - \text{etc.} \end{aligned}$$

Therefore we have, when $p,$  $q$ refer to the point $B,$

$$\beta = - 2f^{\circ} - 2f'p - 6g^{\circ}q - 2f''p^{2} - 6g'pq - (12h^{\circ} - 2{f^{\circ}}^{2})q^{2} - \text{etc.}$$

Rh tinent; and the number of books, monographs and memoirs which ought to be searched is really very great. Moreover this is not always sufficient to guard against error, which can only be completely avoided by personal inspection of the foreign species to which it appears most nearly allied.

It is in such work, when the differences between nearly allied forms, described under different names, have to be carefully weighed and estimated, that the value of the fourth and last test of a good species is appreciated; the comparative value of such species is still more felt by any one who is instituting a comparison between similar faunas in different countries; for a given species, or varieties of the same, may actually exist in both formations, but, owing to their passing under different names, the fact may be disguised, and thus the number of species common to both is greatly underrated. To take an example, there are three species of Pecten to be found in the Cambridge Greensand, viz.:—P. orbicularis, Sow.; P. Barretti, Seeley; P. Raulinianus, D'Orb. Now those recently quoted from the Gaize of the Ardennes and Meuse are:—P. laminosus, Mant.; P. Dutemplei, D'Orb.; P. Raulinianus, D'Orb.; P. asper, Lam.; P. hispidus, Goldf.; and P. Galliennei, D'Orb. At first sight there appears to be only one species common to the two formations, viz. P. Raulinianus; but when it is known that P. laminosus is only a variety of P. orbicularis, and P. Barretti of P. Dutemplei, it is seen that all the Cambridge forms are represented in France.

It may, of course, be disputed that the two species are severally merely varieties of the two others; and I will admit that it is to a great extent a matter of opinion; but there can be no doubt that the species are respectively very closely allied, while with some of the others, such as P. asper and P. Raulinianus, they hardly possess any specific character in common; it is therefore very misleading that P. Barretti and P. Dutemplei, for instance, should be kept as distinct as if their differences were as great as those between the latter and P. asper. The only solution of this difficulty is, I believe, to be found in the more extended use of varietal names, and consequently of a trinomial nomenclature ; the form would then be expressed as Pecten Dutemplei, var. Barretti.

The new species subsequently described are:—

Viewed by the criterion of the conditions above mentioned, it will be found that the Natica is of the most palæontological value, since several specimens have been found both at Cambridge and Folkestone; the Lima, of which three specimens have been examined, comes next in importance; the Nerita is only described from a single imperfect specimen, but it is a remarkable species and belongs to a genus that is rare in Cretaceous beds; the Turrilites is of least value, since it is founded upon a cast, and I have, indeed, had grave doubts whether it was worthy of being placed on record.

Other lessons will follow, till in the end we shall be able to restore that ancient word which unites not only the East with the West, but with all the members of the human family, and may learn to understand what a Persian poet meant when he wrote many centuries ago:—'Diversity of worship has divided the human race into seventy-two nations. From all their dogmas I have selected one—the love of God.

By "the seventy-two (seventy-three?) nations," are doubtless meant the number of sects into which Muhammad said Islám would be divided; but the learned Professor surely cannot be ignorant of the fact that the "love of God," selected by the Persian poet, as the dogma par excellence, is the ʾIshaq, or second

year there was indeed a merry midsummer holiday in the Buddenbrook home. At the end of July Thomas returned to Meng Street and visited his family at the shore several times, like the other business men in the town. Christian had allotted full holidays unto himself, as he complained of an indefinite ache in his left leg. Dr. Grabow did not seem to treat it successfully, and Christian thought of it so much the more.

“It is not a pain—one can’t call it a pain,” he expatiated, rubbing his hand up and down his leg, wrinkling his big nose, and letting his eyes roam about. “It is a sort of ache, a continuous, slight, uneasy ache in the whole leg and on the left side, the side where the heart is. Strange. I find it strange—what do you think about it, Tom?”

“Well, well,” said Tom, “you can have a rest and the sea-baths.”

So Christian went down to the shore to tell stories to his fellow-guests, and the beach resounded with their laughter. Or he played roulette with Peter Döhlmann, Uncle Justus, Dr. Gieseke, and other Hamburg high-fliers.

Consul Buddenbrook went with Tony, as always when they were in Travemünde, to see the old Schwarzkopfs on the front. “Good-day, Ma’am Grünlich,” said the pilot-captain, and spoke low German out of pure good feeling.

“Well, well, what a long time ago that was! And Morten, he’s a doctor in Breslau and has all the practice in the town, the rascal.” Frau Schwarzkopf ran off and made coffee, and they supped in the green verandah as they used to—only all of them were a good ten years older, and Morten

 the best ploughman in the village. But his master was a glutton and guzzler, who squandered away all that his faithful, hardworking servant earned, and gave him, moreover, small thanks for his pains and labour. So Rips left him, and went to a neighbour, who entrusted to him the charge of a large flock of sheep. These he tended with the most scrupulous care, conducting them now into the plains, now to the mountain side, wherever the freshest and sweetest grass was to be found. His woolly charge throve amazingly; their number increased and increased, and never was one of them known to break its neck down a precipice, or to be torn in pieces by the marauding wolf, so unremitting was the zeal of excellent Rips. But his new master was a wretched hunks, who, so far from rewarding him as he deserved, himself stole the best ram of the flock, and made Rips pay for it out of his wages. Rips, therefore, left the miser’s service, and entered that of the District Judge, as whose officer he became the scourge of all the thieves for miles and miles around. But the Judge was an unrighteous man, who perverted justice, giving judgment according to favour, and making a mockery of law. When Rips refused to be the instrument of his iniquity, and intimated an intention to leave his service, he threw the honest fellow into prison, whence, of course, Mr Rips Rubezahl forthwith made his exit, slipping quietly

RV 291 (BUDDENBROOKS) and little Meta were not there, she having married the magistrate of Haffkrug. And the captain, already white-haired and rather deaf, had retired from his office—and Madame Grünlich was not a goose any more! Which did not prevent her from eating a great many slices of bread and honey, for, as she said: “Honey is a pure nature product—one knows what one is getting.”

At the beginning of August the Buddenbrooks, like most of the other families, returned to town; and then came the great moment when, almost at the same time, Pastor Tiburtius from Prussia and the Arnoldsens from Holland arrived for a long visit in Meng Street.

It was a very pretty scene when the Consul led his bride for the first time into the landscape-room and took her to his mother, who received her with outstretched arms. Gerda had grown tall and splendid. She walked with a free and gracious bearing; with her heavy dark-red hair, her close-set brown eyes with the blue shadows round them, her large, gleaming teeth which showed when she smiled, her straight strong nose and nobly formed mouth, this maiden of seven-and-twenty years had a strange, aristocratic, haunting beauty. Her face was white and a little haughty, but she bowed her head as the Frau Consul with gentle feeling took it between her hands and kissed the pure, snowy forehead. “Yes, you are welcome to our house and to our family, you dear, beautiful, blessed creature,” she said. “You will make him happy. Do I not see already how happy you make him?” And she drew Thomas forward with her other arm, to kiss him also.

Never, except perhaps in Grandfather’s time, was there more gay society in the great house, which accommodated its guests with ease. Pastor Tiburtius had modestly chosen a bed-chamber in the back building next the billiard-room. But the rest divided the unoccupied space on the ground floor next the hall and in the first storey: Gerda; Herr Arnoldsen, a quick, clever man at the end of the fifties, with a pointed grey beard and a pleasant impetuosity in every mo-

 Also

$$\begin{aligned} \gamma &= -2f^{\circ} - 2f'p - 6g^{\circ}q' - 2f''p^{2} - 6g'pq' - (12h^{\circ} - 2{f^{\circ}}^{2})q'^{2} - \text{etc.} \\ \alpha &= -2f^{\circ} \end{aligned}$$

Introducing these measures of curvature into the expression for $\sigma,$ we obtain the following expression, exact to quantities of the sixth order (exclusive):

$$\begin{aligned} \quad\; \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}ac \sin B \bigl(1 &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(4p^{2} - 2q^{2} + 3qq' + 3q'^{2}) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (3p^{2} - 6q^{2} + 6qq' + 3q'^{2}) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(3p^{2} - 2q^{2} + \phantom{0} qq' + 4q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

The same precision will remain, if for $p,$  $q,$  $q'$ we substitute $c\sin B,$  $c\cos B,$  $c\cos B - a.$  This gives

[8] $$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}ac\sin B \bigl(1 &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(3a^{2} + 4c^{2} - \phantom{0}9ac\cos B) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (3a^{2} + 3c^{2} -  12ac\cos B) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(4a^{2} + 3c^{2} - \phantom{0}9ac\cos B)\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

Since all expressions which refer to the line $AD$ drawn normal to $BC$  have disappeared from this equation, we may permute among themselves the points $A,$  $B,$  $C$  and the expressions that refer to them. Therefore we shall have, with the same precision,

[9] $$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}bc\sin A \bigl(1 &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(3b^{2} + 3c^{2} -  12bc\cos A) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (3b^{2} + 4c^{2} - \phantom{0}9bc\cos A) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(4b^{2} + 3c^{2} - \phantom{0}9bc\cos A)\bigr) \\ \end{aligned}$$

[10] $$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}ab\sin C \bigl(1 &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(3a^{2} + 4b^{2} - \phantom{0}9ab\cos C) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (4a^{2} + 3b^{2} - \phantom{0}9ab\cos C) \\          &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(3a^{2} + 3b^{2} -  12ab\cos C)\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

The consideration of the rectilinear triangle whose sides are equal to $a,$  $b,$  $c$ is of great advantage. The angles of this triangle, which we shall denote by $A^{*},$  $B^{*},$  $C^{*},$ differ from the angles of the triangle on the curved surface, namely, from $A,$  $B,$  $C,$  by quantities of the second order; and it will be worth while to develop these differences accurately. However, it will be sufficient to show the first steps in these more tedious than difficult calculations.

Replacing in formulæ [1], [4], [5] the quantities that refer to $B$ by those that refer to $C,$  we get formulæ for $r'^{2},$  $r'\cos\phi',$  $r'\sin\phi'.$  Then the development of the expression

Arabic word Faqír, signifies poor; but it is used in the sense of being in need of mercy, and poor in the sight of God, rather than in need of worldly assistance. Darwesh is derived from the Persian dar, "a door,"—those who beg from door to door. The terms are generally used for those who lead a religious life. Religious Faqírs are divided into two great classes, the ba Sharaʾ (with the law), or those who govern their conduct according to the principles of Islám; and the be Sharaʾ (without the law), or those who do not rule their lives according to the principles of any religious creed, although they call themselves Musulmáns. The former are called Sálik, or travellers on the pathway (taríqat) to heaven; and the latter are either A′zád (free), or Majzúb (abstracted). The Sálik embrace the various religious orders who perform the Zikrs described in our next note. The Majzúb are

 $$\begin{aligned} r^{2} + r'^{2} &- (q - q')^{2} - 2r\cos\phi. r'\cos\phi' - 2r\sin\phi. r'\sin\phi' \\ &\quad= b^{2} + c^{2} - a^{2} - 2bc\cos A \\ &\quad= 2bc(\cos A^{*} - \cos A), \end{aligned}$$

combined with the development of the expression

$$r\sin\phi. r'\cos\phi' - r\cos\phi. r'\sin\phi' = bc\sin A,$$

gives the following formula:

$$\begin{aligned} \cos A^{*} - \cos A = -(q - q')p\sin A  \bigl(\tfrac{1}{3}f^{\circ} &+ \tfrac{1}{6}f'p + \tfrac{1}{4}g^{\circ}(q + q') \\  &+ (\tfrac{1}{10}f'' - \tfrac{1}{45}{f^{\circ}}^{2})p^{2}   + \tfrac{3}{20}g'p(q + q') \\  &+ (\tfrac{1}{5}h^{\circ} - \tfrac{7}{90}{f^{\circ}}^{2})(q^{2} + qq' + q'^{2})   + \text{etc.}\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

From this we have, to quantities of the fifth order,

$$\begin{aligned} A^{*} - A = +(q - q')p \bigl(\tfrac{1}{3}f^{\circ} &+ \tfrac{1}{6}f'p + \tfrac{1}{4}g^{\circ}(q + q') + \tfrac{1}{10}f''p^{2} \\  &+ \tfrac{3}{20}g'p(q + q') + \tfrac{1}{5}h^{\circ}(q^{2} + qq' + q'^{2}) \\  &- \tfrac{1}{90}{f^{\circ}}^{2}(7p^{2} + 7q^{2} + 12qq' + 7q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

Combining this formula with

$$2\sigma = ap\bigl(1 - \tfrac{1}{6}f^{\circ}(p^{2} + q^{2} + qq' + q'^{2})- \text{etc.}\bigr)$$ and with the values of the quantities $\alpha,$  $\beta,$  $\gamma$ found in the preceding article, we obtain, to quantities of the fifth order,

[11] $$\begin{aligned} A^{*} = A - \sigma\bigl(\tfrac{1}{6}\alpha &+ \tfrac{1}{12}\beta   + \tfrac{1}{12}\gamma + \tfrac{2}{15}f''p^{2} + \tfrac{1}{5}g'p(q + q') \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{5}h^{\circ}(3q^{2} - 2qq' + 3q'^{2}) \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{90}{f^{\circ}}^{2}(4p^{2} - 11q^{2} + 14qq' - 11q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

By precisely similar operations we derive

[12] $$\begin{aligned} B^{*} = B - \sigma\bigl(\tfrac{1}{12}\alpha &+ \tfrac{1}{6}\beta   + \tfrac{1}{12}\gamma + \tfrac{1}{10}f''p^{2} + \tfrac{1}{10}g'p(2q + q') \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{5}h^{\circ}(4q^{2} - 4qq' + 3q'^{2}) \\  &- \tfrac{1}{90}{f^{\circ}}^{2}(2p^{2} + 8q^{2} - 8qq' + 11q'^{2})\bigr) \\ \end{aligned}$$

[13] $$\begin{aligned} C^{*} = C - \sigma\bigl(\tfrac{1}{12}\alpha &+ \tfrac{1}{12}\beta   + \tfrac{1}{6}\gamma + \tfrac{1}{10}f''p^{2} + \tfrac{1}{10}g'p(q + 2q') \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{5}h^{\circ}(3q^{2} - 4qq' + 4q'^{2}) \\  &- \tfrac{1}{90}{f^{\circ}}^{2}(2p^{2} + 11q^{2} - 8qq' + 8q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

From these formulæ we deduce, since the sum $A^{*} + B^{*} + C^{*}$ is equal to two right angles, the excess of the sum $A + B + C$  over two right angles, namely,

[14] $$\begin{aligned} A + B + C= \pi + \sigma\bigl(\tfrac{1}{3}\alpha &+ \tfrac{1}{3}\beta   + \tfrac{1}{3}\gamma + \tfrac{1}{3}f''p^{2} + \tfrac{1}{2}g'p(q + q') \\  &+ (2h^{\circ} - \tfrac{1}{3}{f^{\circ}}^{2})(q^{2} - qq' + q'^{2})\bigr) \end{aligned}$$

This last equation could also have been derived from formula [6].

 Rh totally absorbed in religious reverie. The A′zád shave their beards, whiskers, moustachios, eyebrows and eyelashes, and lead lives of celibacy.

The A′zád and Majzúb Faqírs can scarcely be said to be Muhammadans, so that a description of their various sects do not fall within the limits of these notes. The Sálik Faqírs are also divided into very numerous orders; but their chief difference consists in their Silsilah, or chain of succession, from their great teachers the Khalífas ʾAli, and Abu Bakr, who are said to have been the founders of the religious order of Faqírs. European writers have distinguished the various orders by their dress and their religious performances; but we have not been able to find that these are the distinguishing features of difference amongst them.

The following are the chief orders which are met with in North India:—

Antonie was overjoyed that Sievert Tiburtius was the only parson in the house. The betrothal of her adored brother rejoiced her heart. Aside from Gerda’s being her friend, the parti was a brilliant one, gilding the family name and the firm with such new glory! And the three-hundred-thousand mark dowry and the thought of what the town and particularly the Hagenströms would say to it, put her in a state of prolonged and delightful enchantment. Three times daily, at least, she passionately embraced her future sister-in-law.

“Oh, Gerda,” she cried, “I love you—you know I always did love you. I know you can’t stand me—you used to hate me; but—”

“Why, Tony!” said Fraulein Arnoldsen. “How could I have hated you? Did you ever do anything to me?” For some reason, however—probably out of mere wantonness and love of talking—Tony asserted stoutly that Gerda had always hated her, while she on her side had always returned the hate with love. She took Thomas aside and told him: “You have done very well, Tom. Oh, heavens, how well you have done! If Father could only see this—it is just dreadful that he cannot! Yes, this wipes out a lot of things—not least the affair with that person whose name I do not even like to speak.”

Which put it into her head to take Gerda into an empty room and tell her with awful detail the story of her married life with Bendix Grünlich. Then they talked for hours about boarding-school days and the bed-time gossip; of Armgard von Schilling in Mecklenburg and Eva Ewers in Munich. Tony paid little or no attention to Sievert Tiburtius and his betrothed—which troubled them not at all. The lovers sat quietly together hand in hand, and spoke gently and earnestly of the beautiful future before them.

As the year of mourning was not quite over, the two be-

If the curved surface is a sphere of radius $R,$ we shall have

$$\alpha = \beta = \gamma = -2f^{\circ} = \frac{1}{R^{2}};\quad f'' = 0,\quad g' = 0,\quad 6h^{\circ} - {f^{\circ}}^{2} = 0,$$

or

$$h^{\circ} = \frac{1}{24R^{4}}.$$

Consequently, formula [14] becomes

$$A + B + C = \pi + \frac{\sigma}{R^{2}},$$

which is absolutely exact. But formulæ [11], [12], [13] give

$$\begin{aligned} A^{*} &= A - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} - \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(2p^{2} - q^{2} + 4qq' - q'^{2}) \\ B^{*} &= B - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} + \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(p^{2} - 2q^{2} + 2qq' + q'^{2}) \\ C^{*} &= C - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} + \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(p^{2} + q^{2} + 2qq' - 2q'^{2}) \end{aligned}$$

or, with equal exactness,

$$\begin{aligned} A^{*} &= A - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} - \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(b^{2} + c^{2} - 2a^{2}) \\ B^{*} &= B - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} - \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(a^{2} + c^{2} - 2b^{2}) \\ C^{*} &= C - \frac{\sigma}{3R^{2}} - \frac{\sigma}{180R^{4}}(a^{2} + b^{2} - 2c^{2}) \end{aligned}$$

Neglecting quantities of the fourth order, we obtain from the above the well-known theorem first established by the illustrious Legendre.

28.

Our general formulæ, if we neglect terms of the fourth order, become extremely simple, namely:

$$\begin{aligned} A^{*} &= A - \tfrac{1}{12}\sigma(2\alpha + \beta + \gamma) \\ B^{*} &= B - \tfrac{1}{12}\sigma(\alpha + 2\beta + \gamma) \\ C^{*} &= C - \tfrac{1}{12}\sigma(\alpha + \beta + 2\gamma) \end{aligned}$$

RV 293 (BUDDENBROOKS) trothals were celebrated only in the family. But Gerda quickly became a celebrity in the town. Her person formed the chief subject of conversation on the Bourse, at the club, at the theatre, and in society. “Tip-top,” said the gallants, and clucked their tongues, for that was the latest Hamburg slang for a superior article, whether a brand of claret, a cigar, or a “deal.” But among the solid, respectable citizens there was much head-shaking. “Something queer about her,” they said. “Her hair, her face, the way she dresses—a little too unusual.” Sorenson expressed it: “She has a certain something about her!” He made a face as if he were on the Bourse and somebody had made him a doubtful proposition. But it was all just like Consul Buddenbrook: a little pretentious, not like his forebears. Everybody knew—not least Benthien the draper—that he ordered his clothes from Hamburg: not only the fine new-fashioned materials for his suits—and he had a great many of them, cloaks, coats, waistcoats, and trousers—but his hats and cravats and linen as well. He changed his shirt every day, sometimes twice a day, and perfumed his handkerchief and his moustache, which he wore cut like Napoleon III. All this was not for the sake of the firm, of course—the house of Johann Buddenbrook did not need that sort of thing—but to gratify his own personal taste for the superfine and aristocratic—or whatever you might call it. And then the quotations from Heine and other poets which he dropped sometimes in the most practical connections, in business or civic matters! And now, his bride—well, Consul Buddenbrook himself had “a certain something” about him! All this, of course, with the greatest respect; for the family was highly esteemed, the firm very, very “good,” and the head of it an able and charming man who loved his city and would still serve her well. It was really a devilishly fine match for him; there was talk of a hundred thousand thaler down; but of course. . . Among the ladies there were some who found Gerda “silly”; which, it will be recalled, was a very severe judgment. RV 293 (293)

RV 294 (BUDDENBROOKS) But the man who gazed with furious ardour at Thomas Buddenbrook’s bride, the first time he saw her on the street, was Gosch the broker. “Ah!” he said in the club or the Ships’ Company, lifting his glass and screwing up his face absurdly, “what a woman! Hera and Aphrodite, Brunhilda and Melusine all in one! Oh, how wonderful life is!” he would add. And not one of the citizens who sat about with their beer on the hard wooden benches of the old guild-house, under the models of sailing vessels and big stuffed fish hanging down from the ceiling, had the least idea what the advent of Gerda Arnoldsen meant in the yearning life of Gosch the broker.

The little company in Meng Street, not committed, as we have seen, to large entertainments, had the more leisure for intimacy with each other. Sievert Tiburtius, with Clara’s hand in his, talked about his parents, his childhood, and his future plans. The Arnoldsens told of their people, who came from Dresden, only one branch of them having been transplanted to Holland.

Madame Grünlich asked her brother for the key of the secretary in the landscape-room, and brought out the portfolio with the family papers, in which Thomas had already entered the new events. She proudly related the Buddenbrook history, from the Rostock tailor on; and when she read out the old festival verses:

Industry and beauty chaste

See we linked in marriage band:

Venus Anadyomene,

And cunning Vulcan’s busy hand

she looked at Tom and Gerda and let her tongue play over her lips. Regard for historical veracity also caused her to narrate events connected with a certain person whose name she did not like to mention!

"No license" tags
Hi, I see you are adding no license templates to a number of works. I'd urge you to be a little more cautious with them; in some cases, a license is indeed clearly indicated, just not in the programmatic way that makes administrative review easier. For instance, Wikipedia publishes 500,000 articles in 50 languages states in its header "The text of this press release is placed into the public domain by its authors."

More specifically, when I was learning the ways of Wikisource, for a long time I thought the license information was understood to be kept with the underlying djvu or PDF files on Commons, and didn't worry about adding them here. I now understand that's not sufficient, but...old habits die hard. I'm doing my best to catch your tags on my watchlist and add templates where I can, but I'm not sure I'll keep up. I hope there will be an effort to catch at least the straightforward cases prior to any deletion effort? -Pete (talk) 19:55, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

 * Don't worry about it, I have no intention of trying to delete them :) think of it more as just a label that says "you can improve this work by adding a license tag" —Beleg Tâl (talk) 19:59, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * But, it's not just your intentions I'm worried about. I'm not sure if it's the case here, but certainly on other wikis administrators will often purge anything with a "no license" tag with a speedy delete. Also, why should the reader be subjected to the tag, at the top of the page, in a case where there's a clear statement in the header? If the information is indicated, this seems to me confusing and cluttery to the reader, and counterproductive. -Pete (talk) 20:02, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Lack of license tag is not a valid rationale for speedy deletion on enWS; to be speedied it must be a "clear and proven copyright violation". And as for subjecting the reader to tags, I think it is good for readers to have clear indications for when a work is not up to our standards, and why. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 20:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Another way to go about it might be a slightly gentler tag, something that goes at the bottom of the article and says "the license should be reviewed." If you're not reviewing even for statements in the header notes, that's a step somebody should take prior to making a definitive "no license" assertion. -Pete (talk) 20:06, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * That's a good point. The current wording of no license is a lot harsher than most maintenance tags. Maybe I'll propose a reword on the scriptorium. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 20:09, 31 January 2024 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, thanks. -Pete (talk) 20:10, 31 January 2024 (UTC)

I said this on Scriptorium, but I'll say it again here more directly. Despite my concerns about the process, I very much appreciate your attention and effort to addressing what is apparently a pretty pervasive and important problem. You brought an important bit of policy to my attention that I had never noticed before, and I'll be adjusting my practices going forward. Thank you for that part. Still think there are some process details to discuss, but I want to reassure you that I see value in your overall effort. -Pete (talk) 20:47, 3 February 2024 (UTC)

This is especially so where the license is easy to add. You have already added it around 1,500 times (just checking quickly over your recent contributions), which does not help a structured approach to tackling this problem.

Blenheim column of victory
Hello.

I would like to ask you about the changes at Text on the Column of Victory in the grounds of Blenheim Palace.

Back in 2006, I visited the location of the column, took close-up photographs of the column with sufficient resolution to allow the text to be transcribed, then myself transcribed the text on the south face of the column, which contains an (entertainingly biased) account of the Battle of Blenheim - a not insignificant amount of work. I also uploaded the photographs - the photographs of the south face as a source for which my transcription could be verified, and if necessary corrected, and the photographs of the other faces of the column in order to enable other people to transcribe the text of those to expand the page. I believe that the north, east and west faces contain the text of a private Act of Parliament that gave the estate to the Duke of Marlborough.

In 2007, somebody else added the text from the east face.

The page remained in substantially the same form until 2018 when you edited it, although it appears that at some point somebody deleted the photos. I see that in 2018 you removed my transcription of the text on the south face. I am guessing that this is because by that time, the photos had been removed, so there appeared to be no source for the text. I see that there is someone's photograph of the east face on Commons and that someone else's photo of the south face (taken in 2015 and under a CC-BY-NC 2.0 licence) exists on Flickr. If downloaded at the highest resolution, the text of the south face is legible (aside from a rather small amount obscured by the railings near the bottom of the photo), so if a copy can be uploaded to Commons (as the licence would appear to permit) then this would resolve the problem of lack of sourcing.

I was going to try to restore the text from the south face based on the page history, but I see that it is now set up to include text from Wikidata, and I have no clue how to do this. I don't want just to restore the page in its previous form if we are supposed to use Wikidata instead these days.

Please can you add the text from the south face. You will that I had formatted some of the it as centred text - this is where it appeared as such on the column itself as you will clearly see in the photo, so it would be good for this formatting to be preserved along with the text.

Thank you. Scil100(2) (talk) 09:07, 7 March 2024 (UTC)

 * Huh, interesting. It was a long time ago that I worked on that, and it looks like I replaced it with a transcription from a photo that got deleted, as you surmise.
 * I see that there are some photos on Commons that could be used as a source, though I am not sure which face is which:
 * commons:File:ENG Woodstock Blenheim Park 004.jpg
 * commons:File:ENG Woodstock Blenheim Park 005.jpg
 * commons:File:ENG Woodstock Blenheim Park 006.jpg

Floruit
Thank you for fixing the author pages with hardcoded fl. dates I'd made! I'd been a bit hesitant to create Wikidata pages for authors when there wasn't much information about them, but will do so in future, and avoid hardcoded dates. I did have a couple of questions though.

I noticed that you'd added the 1800s as a decade for the floruit date of some authors (I guess to make them appear as fl. 1800s in the header?) but I couldn't work out how to change this to 19th century. As says it supports multiple dates, I've added them all to authors whose work spans more than one decade. Not sure if this is the best approach, as the header then adds them all as "fl. 18xx/fl. 18xx/fl.18xx", etc. (e.g. Author:Heinrich Apel); maybe the header template could be changed to remove all subsequent fl.s? edit: I've now switched the floruit values to each decade they published works (e.g. "fl. 1820s/fl. 1830s"); still not sure this is the best approach; perhaps Header could use the &  values that you've added? What do you think? -- Yodin T 15:16, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

 * The approach I prefer is to use the smallest single valid unit possible in (whether that be a year, decade, or century), and then put the actual dates in  and . As for using the latter values in author, I have made that suggestion but it hasn't been taken up. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 23:07, 8 March 2024 (UTC)

Author:Sota Omoigui
Do you recall why you included a PD-1923 license ? That doesn't seem right to me. -- Beardo (talk) 13:18, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

 * No I don't, but I expect it's because it's the only license that is always valid regardless of where or when the author lived, so if you don't know anything about an author it's really the only license that you can use. (shrug) —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 13:43, 13 March 2024 (UTC)
 * In this case, the author page should have been deleted after the discussion at WS:CV, so I'll flag it for deletion —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 13:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC) —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 13:45, 13 March 2024 (UTC)

Thank you for adding WikiData links
WikiData is an almost complete mystery for me, so thank you for connecting my authors to WikiData pages - I imagine it's done semi-automatically, but it's still worth thanks!

 * Psst @Qq1122qq, don't forget to add license tags when creating author pages :) —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 14:16, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Thank you for the prompt - at the moment I'm just going through the contents pages for the 1928 Popular Mechanics issues and adding author stubs. For many of them we don't have autobiographical information, or even full names. What would be the most sensible license tags for them? Qq1122qq (talk) 14:25, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If they've published something before the US cutoff date (such as the 1928 Popular Mechanics), then you can use PD-US regardless of any autobiographical information. —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 14:32, 29 April 2024 (UTC)
 * All Popular Mechanics 1928 author pages should now be updated with license information. Thanks again for the prompt. Qq1122qq (talk) 09:45, 30 April 2024 (UTC)

Poems by Emily Dickinson - Second Series
Don't forget that each of these poems had a Wikidata item associated with it. Either the versions page or a "duplicate" edition should be connected to each of those data items. Right now, what's happened at Wikidata is each data item has been de-linked from Wikisource. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:01, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

 * If the items are for the poem themselves, I'll link them to the versions page. If they are for the unsourced edition, then they should probably be deleted. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:06, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * How would you go about listing all the WD items that were linked to these pages? Can it be done with petscan or something? —Beleg Tâl (talk) 18:09, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * The easiest way might be to check your Wikidata Contributions. You'll be listed as having edited each page as part of your deletion actions. --EncycloPetey (talk) 18:15, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

sdelete
Hi. Why leaving a redirect when moving a page and then tag it as sdelete, instead of moving without redirect? You are also an admin, you could speedy right away in case you forgot to uncheck the "Leave a redirect behind". Mpaa (talk) 21:05, 15 May 2024 (UTC)

 * When I'm using my non-admin account User:Beleg Âlt (i.e. when I don't have access to my MFA device to log in as admin), then I have to use sdelete :) Often I'll be the one to go back and delete them properly when I'm logged in as admin, but often someone else beats me to it. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 13:32, 16 May 2024 (UTC)

Dab redirects
I'd seen a lot of redirects in disambiguation pages, but up to now I assumed they were created by some sort of (semi-)automatic system. I just realized that you do them manually. What's the point? — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 14:41, 22 May 2024 (UTC)

 * It's not really necessary, but I do it to maintain the distinction between a work (which will be a versions page or redirect), and an edition (which would be the scan-backed text). The redirect essentially holds the space for the future versions page when other versions are added, and makes for less work in the future (and makes it easier to clean up if they forget to create the versions page). It also makes it easier (for me) when I'm dealing with integrations between enWS and Wikidata, where the work and edition remain separate items even if the work page on enWS is only a redirect.
 * Anyway if you don't feel like doing this, it doesn't matter too much, I just find it marginally improves the organization of information on this website. —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 16:04, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Makes sense. It is for the same reason that sometimes redirects are created to a subpage of a work, though they not used in the TOC? (first example coming across my mind is Snowflakes, that I've since overwritten for a disambiguation page) — Alien333 (what I did & why I did it wrong) 16:12, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Yes, exactly. When I am working on anthologies and collections, I always create redirects (or versions pages) from the title of the work, to the edition of the work published within that anthology or collection. Again, it's not really necessary, but it keeps things cleaner and makes it a lot easier when dealing with integration with Wikidata and other Wikimedia projects.—See, for example, User:Beleg Tâl/Sandbox/Flint and Feather —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 17:46, 22 May 2024 (UTC)
 * For an example of why I do this, have a look at Author:Charles Lutwidge Dodgson. We have multiple versions of most of his poems, but the majority of them do not have a versions page (yet), and most of those with a blue link redirect to only one of the versions that we have. I will be working on cleaning this up, but my personal preference is to handle this stuff as I go. —Beleg Âlt BT (talk) 13:22, 23 May 2024 (UTC)

Acrostic disambiguation page
Hi, I saw you'd added some items to this recently. Contrary to the title at the head of the page, most of the works listed are not called 'Acrostic', they an acrostic. Those that are, such as the Keats and Poe poems, and the encyclopaedia articles, should be here but most of the others should simply be categorised as 'Acrostics' (category doesn't exist at the moment). Chrisguise (talk) 18:47, 24 May 2024 (UTC)

 * On the contrary - the only works I added to that page that are not titled "Acrostic" are Acrostic - Madrigal and Acrostic - The Martyr, which in my opinion are close enough. The others are, in fact titled "Acrostic". There are other acrostics by Carroll that are not titled "Acrostic", which I did not add to that page. —Beleg Tâl (talk) 00:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)

 Thus to the angles $A,$  $B,$  $C$ on a non-spherical surface, unequal reductions must be applied, so that the sines of the changed angles become proportional to the sides opposite. The inequality, generally speaking, will be of the third order; but if the surface differs little from a sphere, the inequality will be of a higher order. Even in the greatest triangles on the earth’s surface, whose angles it is possible to measure, the difference can always be regarded as insensible. Thus,  e.g. , in the greatest of the triangles which we have measured in recent years, namely, that between the points Hohehagen, Brocken, Inselberg, where the excess of the sum of the angles was $14''. 85348,$ the calculation gave the following reductions to be applied to the angles:

Hohehagen $\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.-4''{.}95113$ Brocken $\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad. - 4{.}95104$ Inselberg $\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.\quad.-4{.}95131$

29.

We shall conclude this study by comparing the area of a triangle on a curved surface with the area of the rectilinear triangle whose sides are $a,$  $b,$  $c.$ We shall denote the area of the latter by $\sigma^{*};$  hence

$$\sigma^{*} = \tfrac{1}{2}bc\sin A^{*} = \tfrac{1}{2}ac\sin B^{*} = \tfrac{1}{2}ab\sin C^{*}$$

We have, to quantities of the fourth order,

$$\sin A^{*} = \sin A - \tfrac{1}{12}\sigma\cos A. (2\alpha + \beta + \gamma)$$

or, with equal exactness,

$$\sin A = \sin A^{*}. \bigl(1 + \tfrac{1}{24}bc\cos A . (2\alpha + \beta + \gamma)\bigr)$$

Substituting this value in formula [9], we shall have, to quantities of the sixth order,

$$\begin{aligned} \sigma = \tfrac{1}{2}bc\sin A^{*}. \bigl(1 &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(3b^{2}+ 3c^{2} - 2bc\cos A) \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (3b^{2}+ 4c^{2} - 4bc\cos A) \\  &+ \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(4b^{2}+ 3c^{2} - 4bc\cos A)\bigr), \end{aligned}$$

or, with equal exactness,

$$\sigma = \sigma^{*}\bigl(1 + \tfrac{1}{120}\alpha(a^{2} + 2b^{2} + 2c^{2})  + \tfrac{1}{120}\beta (2a^{2} + b^{2} + 2c^{2})  + \tfrac{1}{120}\gamma(2a^{2} + 2b^{2} + c^{2})$$

For the sphere this formula goes over into the following form:

$$\sigma = \sigma^{*}\bigl(1 + \tfrac{1}{24}\alpha(a^{2} + b^{2} + c^{2})\bigr).$$


text:
Page:General Investigations of Curved Surfaces, by Carl Friedrich Gauss, translated into English by Adam Miller Hiltebeitel and James Caddall Morehead.djvu/58

 It is easily verified that, with the same precision, the following formula may be taken instead of the above:

$$\sigma = \sigma^{*}\sqrt{\frac{\sin A. \sin B. \sin C}                        {\sin A^{*}. \sin B^{*}. \sin C^{*}}}$$

If this formula is applied to triangles on non-spherical curved surfaces, the error, generally speaking, will be of the fifth order, but will be insensible in all triangles such as may be measured on the earth’s surface.

The wretched mother continued to scrape together money out of the housekeeping to send to the degenerate and disinherited Jacob in America, while she and her husband subsisted on almost nothing but porridge. The Buddenbrook ladies from Broad Street also came; and their love of truth compelled them to say, as usual, that Erica Grünlich was not growing well and that she looked more than ever like her wretched father. Also that the Consul’s bride wore a rather conspicuous coiffure. And Sesemi Weichbrodt came too, and standing on her tip-toes, kissed Gerda with her little explosive kiss on the forehead and said with emotion: “Be happy, my dear child.”

At table Herr Arnoldsen gave one of his witty and fanciful toasts in honour of the two bridal pairs. While the rest drank their coffee he played the voilin, like a gipsy, passionately, with abandonment—and with what dexterity! . . . Gerda fetched her Stradivarius and accompanied him in his passages with her sweet cantilena. They performed magnificent duets at the little organ in the landscape-room, where once the Consul’s grandfather had played his simple melodies on the flute.

“Sublime!” said Tony, lolling back in her easy chair. “Oh, heavens, how sublime that is!” And she rolled up her eyes to the ceiling to express her emotions. “You know how it is in life,” she went on, weightily. “Not everybody is given such a gift. Heaven has unfortunately denied it to me, though I used to pray for it at night. I am a goose, a silly creature. You know, Gerda—I am the elder and have learned to know life—let me tell you, you ought to thank your Creator every day on your knees, for being such a gifted creature!”

“Oh, please,” said Gerda, with a laugh, showing her beautiful large white teeth.

Later they all ate wine jelly and discussed their plans for the near future. At the end of that month or the beginning of September, it was decided, Sievert Tiburtius and the Arnoldsens would go home. Then, directly after Christmas,

RV 296 (BUDDENBROOKS) Clara’s wedding would be celebrated with due solemnity in the great hall. The Frau Consul, health permitting, would attend Tom’s wedding in Amsterdam. But it must be put off until the beginning of the next year, that there might be a little pause for rest between. It was no use for Thomas to protest. “Please,” said the Frau Consul, and laid her hand on his sleeve. “Sievert should have the precedence, I think.”

The Pastor and his bride had decided against a wedding journey. Gerda and Thomas, however, were to take a trip to northern Italy, as far as Florence, and be gone about two months. In the meantime Tony, with the help of the upholsterer Jacobs in Fish Street, was to make ready the charming little house in Broad Street, the property of a bachelor who had moved to Hamburg. The Consul was already arranging for its purchase. Oh, Tony would furnish it to the Queen’s taste. “It will be perfect,” she said. They were all sure it would.

Christian looked on while the two bridal pairs held hands, and listened to the talk about weddings and trousseaux and bridal journeys. His nose looked bigger and his legs more crooked than ever. He felt an indefinite sort of pain in the left one, and stared solemnly at them all out of his little round deep-set eyes. Finally, in the accents of Marcellus Stengel, he said to his cousin Clothilde, who sat elderly, dried-up, silent, and hungry, at table among the happy throng: “Well, Tilda, let’s us get married too—I mean, of course each one for himself.”

Why did he not follow his bride at once? What mysterious spell had come upon this seventeen-hour bridegroom that he should fly from her as swiftly as the fast express could carry him? His hand held the solution of the problem—simple, yet unexplainable—a silver dollar! It held the secret he must unravel before he could return to her; it was not then that he loved her less, but that this bit of precious metal had suddenly developed an occult power that had turned their paths, for the present, in opposite directions.

At the first stopping place he sent another message, which read as follows:

", Delavan House, Albany, N. Y.

"Cannot possibly reach Albany before to-morrow morning.

With his brain filled with excited thoughts, the young man entered the sleeping-car office at Cleveland four hours later and asked for Conductor Parkins. He was told that this official would not be on duty before night, though possibly he might be at his home on St. Clair Street.

To the address given him the indefatigable young man repaired at once, and found the genial gentleman for whom he sought breakfasting with his family. He kindly gave audience at once to his visitor.

"This coin, which you gave the cashier of the restaurant in Buffalo," said the latter, revealing it in the palm of his hand; "can you tell me from whom you received it?"

Parkins remembered receiving cash from but two passengers the night before, one a traveling man who got off in Cleveland, and the other a woman whose destination was Erie. The stranger might ascertain their names by consulting the car diagram at the ticket office. "You seem interested in the coin," he added, smiling.

"I am, for a good reason," laughed the young man in reply.

six months later Consul Buddenbrook returned with his bride from Italy. The March snows lay in Broad Street as the carriage drove up at five o’clock before the front door of their simple painted façade. A few children and grown folk had stopped to watch the home-coming pair descend. Frau Antonie Grünlich stood proudly in the doorway, behind her the two servant-maids, with white caps, bare arms, and thick striped skirts—she had engaged them beforehand for her sister-in-law. Flushed with pleasure and industry, she ran impetuously down the steps; Gerda and Thomas climbed out of the trunk-laden carriage wrapped in their furs; and she drew them into the house in her embrace.

“Here you are! You lucky people, to have travelled so far in the world. ‘Knowest thou the house? High-pillared are its walls!’ Gerda, you are more beautiful than ever; here, I must kiss you—no, so, on the mouth. How are you, Tom, old fellow?—yes, I must kiss you too. Marcus says everything has gone well here. Mother is waiting for you at home, but you can first just make yourselves comfortable. Will you have some tea? Or a bath? Everything is ready—you won’t complain. Jacobs did his best—and I have done all I could, too.”

They went together into the vestibule, and the servants brought in the luggage with the help of the coachman. Tony said: “The rooms here in the parterre you will probably not need for the present. For the present,” she repeated, running her tongue over her upper lip. “Look, this is pretty,” and she opened a door directly next the vestibule. “Simple oak furniture, ivy at the windows.

Considering the great utility of the bicycle and the pleasure and recreation it affords to countless thousands, its slow development is a matter of considerable surprise. This fact strikes us as especially strange when we remember that a two-wheeled affair very similar to the bicycle of today was in use over a century ago. This state of affairs may be accounted tor through the fact that the development of the bicycle was impeded by social and economic conditions. Fifty years ago, or even twenty-five, there was not the rush to get about that has become one of the characteristics of the present day. Consequently there was no demand for the bicycle. Development in railroads and wagons was being perfected, owing to existent conditions. This development came to a practical end, however, in the 70's, and the real development of the bicycle begins at that time. The pioneer in bicycle construction, in America, at least, was Col. Albert A. Pope, of the Pope Manufacturing Company, the makers of Columbia bicycles. It was he who gave the industry its first impetus, and it has been largely through his efforts that the bicycle has reached the place it occupies and is the perfect machine it is today. The Columbia bicycle, whether due to superior facilities for manufacture, or the care in and extent of experiments that the Pope Company has carried on, has always been in the van of bicycle construction. It has been the invariable rule that the Columbia has led, and the others have followed, but no innovation has been adopted, until it has been found by the severest tests to be an improve- I SIMPLY THIS

I will show you everything.” They went up the stairs, which were covered with a dark red runner. Above, behind a glass partition, was a narrow corridor which led to the dining-room. This had dark red damask wall-paper, a heavy round table upon which the samovar was steaming, a massive sideboard, and chairs of carved nut-wood, with rush seats. Then there was a comfortable sitting-room upholstered in grey, separated by portières from a small salon with a bay-window and furniture in green striped rep. A fourth of this whole storey was occupied by a large hall with three windows.

Then they went into the sleeping-room, on the right of the corridor. It had flowered hangings and solid mahogany beds. Tony passed on to a small door with open-work carving in the opposite wall, and displayed a winding stair leading from the bed-room to the lower floors, the bathroom, and the servants’ quarters.

“It is pretty here. I shall stop here,” said Gerda, and sank with a deep breath into the reclining chair beside one of the beds.

While the writer has never seen the royalty statements of Robert W. Service, it is probable that they would present a showing of figures that would be proof positive of just how financially successful poetry writing can be when the popular note is struck.

Service has been called "The American Kipling"—perhaps by the virtue that he is quoted almost as often as his older English contemporary across the sea.

While "The Songs of a Sourdough" and "The Ballads of a Cheechako" established his name and fame as a popular poet, he has done the best of his writings so far in "The Rhymes of a Red Cross Man."

An adventurer in the far North, lured by the promises of a gold fortune in the Yukon, like Balboa of old, he found a greater thing than that for which he sought. For here came the inspiration which resulted in such famous lines as these first two stanzas from "The Spell of the Yukon":

I wanted the gold, and I sought it;
 * I scrabbled and mucked like a slave.

Was it famine or scurvy—I fought it;
 * I hurled my youth into a grave.

He had drawn up a chair for his sister beside himself, and slowly drank his tea and ate a biscuit as they talked.

“Oh, Tom,” she answered. “What should I be doing? My life is over.”

“Nonsense, Tony—you and your life! But it is pretty tiresome, is it?”

“Yes, Tom, it is very tiresome. Sometimes I just have to shriek, out of sheer boredom. It has been nice to be busy with this house, and you don’t know how happy I am at your return. But I am not happy here—God forgive me, if that is a sin. I am in the thirties now, but I’m still not quite old enough to make intimate friends with the last of the Himmelsburgers, or the Miss Gerhardts, or any of mother’s black friends that come and consume widows’ homes. I don’t believe in them, Tom; they are wolves in sheep’s clothing—a generation of vipers. We are all weak creatures with sinful hearts, and when they begin to look down on me for a poor worldling I laugh in their faces. I’ve always thought that all men are the same, and that we don’t need any intercessors between us and God. You know my political beliefs. I think the citizens—”

“Then you feel lonely?” Tom asked, to bring her back to her starting-point. “But you have Erica.”

“Yes, Tom, and I love the child with my whole heart—although a certain person did use to declare that I am not fond of children. But you see—I am perfectly frank; I am an honest woman and speak as I think, without making words—”

“Which is splendid of you, Tony.”

“Well, in short—it is sad, but the child reminds me too much of Grünlich. The Buddenbrooks in Broad Street think she is very like him too.

Because I still feel so young, and still long to see life again. And besides, I don’t feel comfortable—not only in the house; but in the town. You know I haven’t been struck blind. I have my eyes in my head and see how things are; I am not a stupid goose any more, I am a divorced woman—and I am made to feel it, that’s certain. Believe me, Tom, it lies like a weight on my heart, to know that I have besmirched our name, even if it was not any fault of mine. You can do whatever you will, you can earn money and be the first man in the town—but people will still say: ‘Yes, but his sister is a divorced woman.’ Julchen Möllendorpf, the Hagenström girl—she doesn’t speak to me! Oh, well, she is a goose. It is the same with all families. And yet I can’t get rid of the hope that I could make it all good again. I am still young—don’t you think I am still rather pretty? Mamma cannot give me very much again, but even what she can give is an acceptable sum of money. Suppose I were to marry again? To confess the truth, Tom, it is my most fervent wish. Then everything would be put right and the stain wiped out. Oh, if I could only make a match worthy of our name, and set myself up again—do you think it is entirely out of the question?”

“Not in the least, Tony. Heaven forbid! I have always thought of it. But it seems to me that in the first place you must get out a little, have a little change, and brighten up a bit.”

“Yes, that’s it,” she cried eagerly. “Now I must tell you a little story.”

Thomas was well pleased. He leaned back in his chair and smoked his second cigarette. The twilight was coming on. “Well, then, while you were away, I almost took a situation—a position as companion in Liverpool! Would you have thought it was shocking? Oh, I know it would have been undignified! But I, was so wildly anxious to get away. The

RV 301 (BUDDENBROOKS) plan came to nothing. I sent my photograph to the lady, and she wrote that she must decline my services, because I was too pretty—there was a grown son in the house. ‘You are too pretty,’ she wrote! I don’t know when I have been so pleased.”

They both laughed heartily.

“But now I have something else in mind,” went on Tony. “I have had an invitation, from Eva Ewers, to go to Munich. Her name is Eva Niederpaur now; her husband is superintendant of a brewery. Well, she has asked me to visit her, and I think I will take advantage of the invitation. Of course, Erica could not go with me. I would put her in Sesemi Weichbrodt’s pension. She would be well taken care of. Have you any objection?”

“Not at all. It is necessary, in any case, that you should make some new connections.”

“Yes, that’s it,” she said gratefully. “But now, Tom. I have been talking the whole time about myself; I am a selfish thing. Now, tell me your affairs. Oh, Heavens, how happy you must be.”

“Yes, Tony,” he said with emphasis. There was a pause. He blew out the smoke across the table and continued: “In the first place, I am very glad to be married and set up an establishment. You know I should not make a good bachelor. It has a side to it that suggests loneliness and also laziness—and I am ambitious, as you know. I don’t feel that my career is finished, either in business or—to speak half jestingly—in politics. And a man gains the confidence of the world better if he is a family man and a father. Though I came within an ace of not doing it, after all! I, am a bit fastidious. For a long time I thought it would not be possible to find the right person. But the sight of Gerda decided me. I felt at once that she was the only one for me: though I know there are people in town who don’t care for my taste. She is a wonderful creature; there are few like her in the world. She is nothing like you, Tony, to be sure. You are simpler,

RV 302 (BUDDENBROOKS) and more natural too. My lady sister is simply more temperamental,” he continued, suddenly taking a lighter tone. “Oh, Gerda has temperament too—her playing shows that; but she can sometimes be a little cold. In short, she is not to be measured by the ordinary standards. She is an artist, an individual, a puzzling, fascinating creature.”

“Yes, yes,” Tony said. She had given her brother the closest attention. It was nearly dark, and she had not thought of lighting the lamps.

The corridor door opened, and there stood before them in the twilight, in a pleated pique house-frock, white as snow, a slender figure. The heavy dark-red hair framed her white face, and blue shadows lay about her close-set brown eyes. It was Gerda, mother of future Buddenbrooks.

took a solitary early breakfast in his pretty dining-room. His wife usually left her room late, as she was subject to headaches and vapours in the morning. The Consul went at once to Meng Street, where the offices still were, took his second breakfast with his mother, Christian and Ida Jungmann in the entresol, and met Gerda only at dinner, at four in the afternoon.

The ground floor of the old house still preserved the life and movement of a great business; but the upper storeys were empty and lonely. Little Erica had been received as a boarder by Mademoiselle Weichbrodt, and poor Clothilde had moved with her few sticks of furniture into a cheap pension with the widow of a high school teacher, a Frau Dr. Krauseminz. Even Anton had left the house, and gone over to the young pair, where he was more needed. When Christian was at the club, the Frau Consul and Ida Jungmann sat at four o’clock dinner alone at the round table, in which there was now not a single extra leaf. It looked quite lost in the great spaces of the dining-temple with its images of the gods.

The social life of Meng Street had been extinguished with the death of Consul Johann Buddenbrook. Except for the visits of this or that man of God, the Frau Consul saw no guests but the members of her family, who still came on Thursday afternoons. But the first great dinner had already been given by the young pair in Broad Street. Tables were laid in both dining- and living-room, and there were a hired cook and waiters and Kistenmaker wines. It began at five o’clock, and its sounds and smells were still in the air at eleven. All the business and professional men were present,

 in 1518. Flutes were used, along with lutes, in Corteccia's ballet music at the marriage of Cosmo I. and Eleanora of Toledo in 1539; and in Baltazarini's Ballet Comique de la Royne the music of which was composed by Salmon and Beaulieu in 1581. In this work each character is always accompanied by special instruments (as also in Monteverde's Orfeo), those of Neptune being flutes and harp. In Cavaliere's oratorio Anima e Corpo, produced at Rome in 1600, the orchestra included two flutes, whilst in Jacopo Peri's Eurydice (December, 1600), the earliest Italian opera, three flutes behind the scene played a Ritornello, whilst Tirsi, a shepherd, pretended to play a triple flute ("tri-flauto") on the stage. Here is what he played, the longest piece of instrumental music in the entire opera!

 der it very convenient for Amateur Art Critics, together with such terms as breadth, atmosphere, quality, values, etc., but in the consideration of color it should have this one definite meaning.

Warm Colors.—Red, orange and yellow, and combinations in which they predominate.

Cool Colors.—Usually considered to be green, blue and violet, and the combinations in which they predominate. But it is, perhaps, questionable whether green and violet may properly be termed either warm or cool. The term cool as applied to colors is quite indefinite, except in a general way, but red, orange and yellow are universally considered as warm, and blue and green-blue as cool.

Neutral Gray.—White in shade or shadow. Pure black and white mixed by disk rotation. Black and white pigments mixed do not usually produce a neutral gray, but rather a blue gray.

Warm Gray.—A neutral gray with the admixture of a small quantity of red, orange or yellow.

Cool Gray.—A neutral gray with a small quantity of blue or green blue.

Green Gray.—A neutral gray having combined with it a small quantity of green. As this color could hardly be classed with either warm or cool grays this fourth class of grays is suggested as helpful in giving definiteness to the more general color expressions.

Broken Colors.—Gray colors, often improperly called broken tints. For simplicity, a tint of a color is described as the pure color mixed with white and a shade as the color mixed with .black, and the corresponding broken color is the same color mixed with both white and black or with neutral gray. A tint of a color thrown into a shadow or a shade of a color in bright sunlight gives a broken color. For various reasons a very large proportion of the colors in nature are broken. Broken colors are much easier to combine harmoniously than full colors, or even tints and shades.

RV 306 (BUDDENBROOKS) married pairs and bachelors as well: all the tribe of Langhals, Hagenströms, Huneus’, Kistenmakers, Överdiecks, and Möllendorpfs. It finished off with whist and music. They talked about it in glowing terms on the Bourse for a whole week. The young Frau Consul certainly knew how to entertain! When she and the Consul were alone, in the room lighted by burned-down candles, with the furniture disarranged and the air thick with heavy odours of rich food, wine, cigars, coffee, perfume, and the scent of the flowers from the ladies’ toilettes and the table decorations, he pressed her hand and said: “Very good, Gerda. We do not need to be ashamed. This sort of thing is necessary. I have no great fondness for balls, and having the young people jumping about here; and, besides, there is not room. But we must entertain the settled people. A dinner like that costs a bit more—but it is well spent.”

“You are right, she had answered, and arranged the laces through which her bosom shimmered like marble. “I much prefer the dinners to the balls myself. A dinner is so soothing. I had been playing this afternoon, and felt a little queer. My brain feels quite dead now. If I. were to be struck by lightning I should not change colour.”

Next morning at half past eleven the Consul sat down beside his Mother at the breakfast table, and she read a letter aloud to him:

April 2, 1857

I must beg your pardon—it is a shame that I have not written before in the eight days I have been here. My time has been so taken up with all the things there are to see—I’ll tell you about them afterwards. Now I must ask if all the dear ones, you and Tom and Gerda and Erica and Christian and Tilda and Ida are well—that is the most important thing.

Ah, what all I have seen in these days!—the Pinakothek and

RV 307 (BUDDENBROOKS) the Glyptothek and the Hofbrauhaus and the Court Theatre and the churches, and quantities of other things! I must tell you of them when I see you; otherwise I should kill myself writing. We have also had a drive in the Isar valley, and for to-morrow an excursion to the Wurmsee is arranged. So it goes on. Eva is very sweet to me, and her husband, Herr Niederpaur, the brewery superintendent, is an agreeable man. We live in a very pretty square in the town, with a fountain in the middle, like ours at home in the market place, and the house is quite near the Town Hall. I have never seen such a house. It is painted from top to bottom, in all colours—St. Georges killing dragons, and old Bavarian princes in full robes and arms. Imagine!

Yes, I like Munich extremely. The air is very strengthening to the nerves, and for the moment I am quite in order with my stomach trouble. I enjoy drinking the beer—I drink a good deal, the more so as the water is not very good. But I cannot quite get used to the food. There are too few vegetables and too much flour, for instance in the sauces, which are pathetic. They have no idea of a proper joint of veal, for the butchers cut everything very badly. And I miss the fish. It is quite mad to be eating so much cucumber and potato salad with the beer—my tummy rebels audibly. Yes, one has to get used to a great deal. It is a real foreign country. The strange currency, the difficulty of understanding the common people—I speak too fast to them and they seem to talk gibberish to me—and then the Catholicism. I hate it, as you know; I have no respect for it—

Here the Consul began to laugh, leaning back in the sofa with a piece of bread and herb cheese in his hand.

“Yes, Tom, you are laughing,” said his Mother, and tapped with her middle finger on the table. “But it pleases me very much that she holds fast to the faith of her fathers and shuns the unevangelical gim-crackery. I know that you felt a certain sympathy for the papal church, while you were in France and Italy: but that is not religion in you, Tom—it is something else, and I understand what. We must be forbearing; yet
