Book Description
Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 61: A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science; April, 1895 to September, 1895 II. Inspiration extended to every sentence and statement in the primitive text. Are we, then, to conclude that inspiration begins and ends with the matter of the sacred volume? Is it concerned only with the thoughts, the ideas, the statements, and with nothing be yond? No, we are not to lay down a hard-and-fast rule, which admits of no exception. It seems to belong to the principal author to determine, in a general way, the specific form of the inspired message, whether it shall be in prose or in verse, in the shape of an epistle or a psalm or a dialogue or a narrative. Although inspiration per se does not require a set form of words, per accidens it may, when there is question of a mystery, such as the Blessed Trinity, which demands exact wording; or in pas sages in which the Holy Ghost intended to supply in after ages the precise words of dogmatic formulas; or again, where a mys tical meaning is superadded, or the form of a sacrament exactly prescribed. Of course, it is not always easy to determine, in particular, when the style was dictated word for word, and when it was not. In certain cases the connection between the thought and a set form of words may 'be necessary, in others it maybe only convenient, and in others still it may be altogether indifferent.

They would use wealth itself as a means of their own and their neighbor's salvation; through material comfort they would attain to a higher human development.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Catholic World, Vol. 57: A Monthly Magazine of General Literature and Science; April to September, 1893 The efficiency of motors has increased most wonderfully. In the first rude essays at human ight the only available source of power was that of the human muscle, which meant at least a thousand pounds per horse-power, if continued for any consider able time. Giffard's steam-engine and boiler taken together weighed, according to his own report of September, 1852, one hundred and ten pounds per horse-power. Some years later Mr. Stringfellow constructed a small model which is said to have weighed only thirteen pounds per horse-power. This, though never thoroughly tested, was for a long time referred to as a triumph of mechanical skill. While both scientific and un scientific writers were debating the possibility of ever construct ing a large motor of like e 'iciency, Mr. Maxim went resolutely to work and, at one step, reduced the weight to less than ten pounds per horse-power. This achievement certainly astonished the scientific and engineering world. For generations even the most conservative were willing to admit the possibility of mechanical ight when a motor should be produced equal to the birds in lightness and power. To many this seemed impossible. Indeed one philosopher, but shortly before Mr. Maxim's success, demonstrated in the most eioquent and positive language that such an achievement was absolutely impossible. Nature had tried for centuries to produce a relatively lighter prime mover than the bird, and had failed; it was, therefore, senseless for man to hope ever to do so. But man has done so; and now that he has so completely out stripped Nature, who will ever again look to her as sole mis tress? TO add to the chagrin of such prophecy Mr. Maxim expresses the belief that a useful working steam-engine and boiler can be constructed to weigh but five pounds per horse power! I am of the opinion, he writes, that with a genera tor and engine especially constructed for lightness a naphtha motor could be constructed which would develop one hundred actual horse-power and not weigh more than five hundred pounds including the condenser, and still have a factor of safety quite as large as we find in locomotive practice. It may be6 the conquest OF the air. [april. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
