87. lappuse - When foul weather happens soon after the falling of the mercury expect but little of it ; and on the contrary, expect but little fair weather when it proves fair shortly after the mercury has risen.
81. lappuse - Va" pours are better kept fufpended, fo that they " have no Inclination to precipitate and fall " down in Drops, which is the Reafon of the " ferene good Weather which attends the " greater Heights of the Mercury.
80. lappuse - being low inclines it to rain, becaufe the air being light, the vapours are no longer fupported thereby, being become fpecifically heavier than the medium wherein they floated ; fo that they defcend towards the earth, and in their fall, meeting with other aqueous particles, they incorporate together and form little drops of rain. But the mercury's being at one time lower than...
79. lappuse - Oblervations at St. Helena^ make very little or no Variation of the Height of the Mercury in all Weathers.
111. lappuse - In some places the time of the change is attended with calms, in others with variable winds. And it often happens on the...
11. lappuse - This amounts to the same with saying, that, in the case before us, the sine of the angle of incidence is to the sine of the angle of refraction in a given ratio.
87. lappuse - These are esteemed the best of any general rules hitherto made : 1. The rising of the mercury presages, in general, fair weather; and its falling, foul weather, as rain, snow, high winds, and storms. 2. In very hot weather, the falling of the mercury indicates thunder.
87. lappuse - In foul weather, when the mercury rises much and high, and so continues for two or three days before the foul weather is quite over, then expect a continuance of fair weather to follow.
70. lappuse - ... again meeting in one common valley, and gaining the plain ground, being grown less rapid, become a river; and many of these being united in one common channel, make such enormous streams as the Rhine, the Rhone and the Danube.
22. lappuse - The sine of the angle of incidence bears to the sine of the angle of refraction a ratio, which is always the same for the same two media and is called the index of refraction.
