...Arc Valley near Chambery it is reported that the glaciers have receded several meters...
...short time ago a statue of Joan of Arc was dedicated at Winchester Cathedral, England, and now it stands side by side with Saxon kings and with such figures as those of Jane Austen and of Isaak Walton. The sainted savior of France has been placed in an English Church, with minor figures of English literature and history. But, although at first this act might seem incongruous, it is merely a single manifestation of what Carlyle has called "hero-worship". For the memory of the great belongs not to one nation solely, but to all humanity...

...seconds of are on account of the influence of the magnetic or gravitational field of the sun on the star's light which must pass near the sun in order to reach the earth. According to Newtonian physics this displacement should amount to but 87 seconds of arc...
...average of the results obtained showed a displacement of 1.74 of are which compares favorably with the Einstein prediction of 1.75 seconds of arc and overrides the Newtonian calculations of 87 seconds. But as I have mentioned before the average proves nothing. The real merit of the result lies in the small variation in so many plates. The minimum displacement was 1.58 seconds of arc and the maximum 1.86 seconds. The results were derived from the measurement of 60-80 star displacements on each of four plates. The accuracy of the photography could not be denied, after the consistency...
