Page 22 - ... but a medium plus the invisible order of things, so that when the motions of the visible universe are transferred into ether, part of them are conveyed as by a bridge into the invisible universe, and are there made use of or stored up. Nay, is it even necessary to retain the conception of a bridge ? May we not at once say that when energy is carried from matter into ether it is carried from the visible into the invisible; and that when it is carried from ether to matter it is carried from the...

Page 22 - In fine, what we generally call ether may be not a ' mere medium, but a medium plus the invisible order of things, so that when the motions of the visible universe are transferred into ether, part of them are conveyed as by a bridge into the invisible universe, and are there made use of or stored up.
Page 34 - Mersenne published, in effect, the statement that the only values of p not greater than 257 which make Mp prime are 2, 3, 5, 7, 13, 17, 19, 31, 67, 127 and 257.

Page 95 - In the text we have set ont the outstanding group and the first period, the other periods will be formed from this one by adding to each denominator in it successive multiples of 210. each of which is equal to zero or a positive quantity. So the eighth group of the second arrangement is resoluble into the pairs each of which is zero or a negative quantity. It may be as well to notice in this place that the sum of the coefficients, reckoning from the first term of the outstanding group to the term...
