Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 24: An Illustrated Magazine, Published Semi-Monthly; February 1, 1889It was correctly said of the lunar eclipse on the roth of January last, fine as it was. That such spectacles were not and never are so splendid as an eclipse of the sun, nor are any such' scientific data derived from them. Neither are they so awe-inspiring or suggestive of our inferiority in comparison with the vast ness and magnificence of the great system of which we are a little atom.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 28: February 1, 1893AT the close of the last paper, a table was given showing the classification of the animal kingdom as accepted by students of zoology today. In our efforts to examine a few types from each of the branches and classes there named, it will be best for us to begin with animals of the simplest structure, and proceed step by step to the study of the more complex. This will necessitate our dealing at first with some of the minutest forms of life; and these can be observed by means of the microscope only. As this instrument will therefore be an indispensable tool for our work, it can not be amiss for us to devote a short time by way of introduction to the microscope itself.The unaided powers of human vision do not enable us to discern objects below a certain size; but the microscope is a device by which the limit of vision is extended so as to embrace objects extremely small.The principle upon which the micro scope is constructed is very simple. Every reader knows that objects look small at a distance, but increase in apparent size as they are approached by the observer, or brought nearer to him. There is a certain distance, however, within which objects cannot be clearly seen; this is called the focal distance of the eye; and though it varies greatly in different persons, the average is about ten inches. In reading, we habitually hold the book at such a dis tance as to afford the clearest vision; if brought nearer, the letters are no longer distinct, but blurred.The medium of vision is light; and light emanates from luminous objects.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The Juvenile Instructor, Vol. 31: March 1, 1896Olaf grew so discontented with his lot, and so anxious to free himself from the rule of the sorcerers, that his little friend, who had been brought into the castle through a secret passage from the sea, told him how he could escape. This entrance was known only to the brothers, the pirates, and little Signe, who still remembered it. She showed the boy the way, although she knew how sad and lonely she would be with out him. He was met at the door by a troop of soldiers; whether they were friends or foes Signe never knew; but they carried him away with them to distant lands.Years passed by, and whispers of a wonderful new religion reached the castle; and the brothers, in their fear and anger, gladly consented to assist in making a great sacrifice of animals and human beings to Baldur, to ward _off the danger. They feared that Hodur would throw the spear,_ and that all would be lost.
