I describe a few of the more important earthquakes that have occurred during the last half century. In judging of importance, the standard which I have adopted is not that of intensity only, but rather of the scientific value of the results that have been achieved by the study of the shocks. Even with this reservation, the number of earthquakes that might be included is considerable; and I have therefore selected those which seem to illustrate best the different methods of investigation employed by seismologists, or which are of special interest owing to the unusual character of their phenomena or to the light cast by them on the nature and origin of earthquakes in general.
Son of Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of the Scarlet Letter and House of Seven Gables, write on his life in an underground prison, with its underworld economy. Has mankind advanced in its solutions or punishments of criminal?
There is a subterranean world! It's one made by man, nature, and God. And after all the millennia man has been on the planet, he know less about his own world.
Humankind's future rests in the stars. It may do us well to understand our own star, the sun. We've worshipped it as God for thousands of years, we still honor it one day a week as a holy day, we hold it in awe for its heat and light, - it's time we learned about it.
The Theory of Concentric Spheres forming a hollow earth by Captain Symmes is expounded on by this anonymous author. The hollow earth theory is one that still holds mystery for truthseekers, even today.
The following course is intended to give, in as simple a way as possible, the essentials of synthetic projective geometry. While, in the main, the theory is developed along the wellbeaten track laid out by the great masters of the subject, it is believed that there has been a slight smoothing of the road in some places.
he source of man's unhappiness is his ignorance of Nature. The pertinacity with which he clings to blind opinions imbibed in his infancy, which interweave themselves with his existence, the consequent prejudice that warps his mind, that prevents its expansion, that renders him the slave of fiction, appears to doom him to continual error. He resembles a child destitute of experience, full of ideal notions: a dangerous leaven mixes itself with all his knowledge: it is of necessity obscure, it is vacillating and false:--
THE Indian Tantras, which are numerous, constitute the Scripture (Shastra) of the Kaliyuga, and as such are the voluminous source of present and practical orthodox "Hinduism." The Tantra Shastra is, in fact, and whatever be its historical origin, a development of the Vaidika Karmakanda, promulgated to meet the needs of that age.
Telepathy or the direct action of mind on mind apart from the ordinary channels of sense, opens a new chapter; it is not a coping-stone completing an erection, but a foundation stone on which to build

When we find Science, which has done so much and promised so much for the happiness of mankind, devoting so large a proportion of its resources to the destruction of human life, we are prone to ask despairingly-Is this the end?
