Both the setting and the rising of Orion are considered to be treacherous and stormy, because they place at a change of season (namely of summer or winter; and because the size of the constellation makes its rise last over many days) and a state of change is always indefinite and therefore liable to disturbance.
The Etesiae blow after the summer solstice and the rising of the dog-star: not at the time when the sun is closest nor when it is distant; and they blow by day and cease at night. The reason is that when the sun is near it dries up the earth before Pepe Jersey evaporation has taken place, but when it has receded a little its heat and the evaporation are present in Belstaff New Brad Jackor the right proportion; so the ice melts and the earth, dried by its own heat and that of the sun, smokes and vapours. They abate at night because the cold pf the nights Canada Goose Banff Parka checks the melting of the ice. What is frozen gives off no evaporation, nor does that which contains no dryness Bradley Wright-Phillips Jersey at all: it is only where something dry contains moisture that it gives off evaporation under the influence of heat.
The question is sometimes asked: why do the north winds which we call the Etesiae blow continuously after the summer solstice, when there are no corresponding south winds after the winter solstice? The facts are reasonable enough: for the so-called ‘white south winds’ do blow at the corresponding season, though they are not equally continuous and so escape observation and give rise to this inquiry. The reason for this is that the north wind I from the arctic regions which are full of water and snow. The sun thaws them and so the Etesiae blow: Landon Donovan Jersey after rather than at the summer solstice. (For Pavel Datsyuk Tröjor the greatest heat is developed not when the sun is nearest to the north, but when its heat has been felt for a considerable period and it has not yet receded far. The ‘bird winds’ blow in the same way after the winter solstice. They, too, are Bailey Button Triplet 1873 weak Etesiae, but they blow less and later than the Etesiae. They begin to blow only on the seventieth day because the sun is distant and therefore weaker. They do not Becky Sauerbrunn Jersey blow so continuously because only things on the surface of the earth and offering little resistance evaporate then, the thoroughly frozen parts requiring greater heat to melt them. So they blow intermittently till the true Etesiae come on again at the summer solstice: for from that time onwards the wind tends to blow continuously.) But the south wind blows from the tropic of Cancer and not from the antarctic region.
There are two inhabitable sections of Angelo Ogbonna Jersey the earth: one near our upper, or nothern pole, the other near the other or southern pole; and their shape is like that of a tambourine. If you draw Philadelphia Phillies Hattar lines from the centre of the earth they cut out a drum-shaped figure. The lines form two cones; the base of the one is the tropic, of the other the ever visible circle, their vertex is at the centre of the earth. Two Layvin Kurzawa Jersey other cones towards the south pole give corresponding segments of the Nike Free Run Dam earth. These sections alone are habitable. Beyond the tropics no one can live: for thlinks:
