47. TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM - LoveToKnow Article On TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM

http://63.1911encyclopedia.org/M/MA/MAGNETISM_TERRESTRIAL.htm
TERRESTRIAL MAGNETISM
MAGNETISM, TERRESTRIAL , the science which has for its province the study of the magnetic phenomena of the earth. The next fundamental discovery is usually ascribed to Robert Norman, an English instrument maker. In The Newe Attractive (1581) Norman describes his discovery made some years before of the inclination or dip. The discovery was made more or less by accident, through Normans noticing that compass needles which were truly balanced so as to be horizontal when unmagnetized, ceased to be so after being stroked with a magnet. Norman devised a form of dip-circle, and found a value for the inclination in London which was at least not very wide of the mark. It was not until midsummer 1634 that Gellibrand felt sure of his facts, and yet the change of declination since 1580 exceeded 7. The delay probably arose from the strength of the preconceived idea, apparently universally held, that the declination was absolutely fixed. This idea, it would appear, derived some of its strength from the positive assertion made on the point by Gilbert of Coichester in his Dc magnete (1600). A third fundamental discovery, that of the diurnal change in the declination, is usually credited to George Graham (1675 1751), a London instrument maker. Previous observers, e.g. Gellibrand, had obtained slightly different values for the declination at different hours of the day, but it was natural to assign them to instrumental uncertainties. In those days the usual declination instrument was the compass with pivoted needles, and Graham himself at first assigned the differences he observed to friction. The observations on which he based his conclusions were made in 1722; an account of them was communicated to the Royal Society and published in the Philosophical Transactions for 1724.

50. November 8, 2003 Total Lunar Eclipse

Home Page May 15, 2003 Total Lunar Eclipse Article Page
November 2003 Feature: November 8th Total Eclipse of the Moon
On the night of November 8-9, a total eclipse of the Moon darkens the skies of North and South America, Europe and Africa. Although European and African nations won't witness the beginning of the eclipse till around midnight or even later, we in the eastern United States see the Moon moving into the Earth's dark shadow (umbra) at early evening. In our Eastern Time Zone, the eclipse starts at 6:32, with totality lasting from 8:06 to 8:31, and a partial eclipse remaining till 10:05 p.m.* An Historic Eclipse This eclipse serves to remind us of a special total lunar eclipse that took place on this same date 372 years ago: November 8-9, 1631. Like the upcoming eclipse, the 1631 production was visible in its entirety from both England and eastern North America, prompting an adventurous Old World professor and a scholarly New World explorer to try their hand at eclipse wizardry. Back then, lunar eclipses offered the only viable means of measuring across the vastness of the Atlantic Ocean, and they wanted to use this eclipse to figure the distance from London, England to Charlton Island in James Bay, Canada. In 1631, it was exactly one century before the invention of the double-mirror quadrant (the forerunner of the modern marine sextant) and more than a century before the invention of a sea-worthy chronometer (clock). Accordingly, finding longitude, or east-west distance at sea in the seventeenth century was close to impossible, whereas measuring the difference in longitude between Old and New World stations on land was simply difficult but at least feasible.

In the Metropolis, the "Third University," Gresham College, was obviously a significant node of geographical activity, but so was the short-lived circle around Henry, eldest son of James I. A staunch anti-Catholic, Henry was a strong supporter of efforts to colonize America, and although he died at the age of nineteen, around forty men with geographical interests were connected to his court at Richmond Palace. The most notable of these was Edward Wright, educated at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, and later almost certainly the tutor of Henry himself

So. even though James has not attracted much attention from Canadian scholars, the appearance of an entire book devoted to him should not itself seem strange. Wayne Davies has endeavoured to introduce James to his fellow historical geographers and, somewhat ponderously, to boost all readers' awareness of the seminal role played by Welshmen in the exploration of what is now Canada. His handsomely designed, well-produced book makes for an engaging read. Continue article Advertisement
Davies makes less of the stranger and more dangerous aspects of James's voyage than one might like, for example, the horror of the ship's crew at discovering the body of Richard Edwards, the gunner's mate, frozen to the hull of the ship months after he had died and been given a burial at sea "at a good distance from the Ship." This rarity, together with James's account of his successful if bizarre strategy of sinking his ship for the winter in order to prevent its being smashed by ice. provide instances where the study of narrative effect clarifies how the Arctic had its reputation as Satan's haunt and a graveyard for lunatics up until recently.

Extract
Buckley key dates 'I had this morning a long conversation with Buckley and explained to him fully the desire of the Association in every respect to meet his views and make him Superintendent over the Native Tribes… it appears from his statement that the Tribes are most peacably disposed [and] that they fully understand the nature of the Grants issued by them… I am quite satisfied that he can only be acted upon, by kindness, and conciliation, and by those means he will be an Instrument in the hands of providence in working a great moral change upon the aborigines'.

Letter from the Editors Williamstown’s historic Timeball tower is probably Melbourne’s best kept lighthouse secret. After Cape Otway , it is the second oldest lighthouse in Victoria but because it functioned as one only for a short period of time (1850-1860) and has not been looking like a lighthouse for many years, it is often overlooked by lighthouse enthusiasts. The recognition and preservation of this tower and its surroundings is, however, close to the heart of our member Cyril Curtain. His article introduces us to the history of this bluestone tower, which was originally a lighthouse and reveals the recent events in which the local residents are co-operating with

Johnson Gresham College : Precursor of the Royal Society Journal of the History of Ideas Volume 1, Issue 4 Oct. 1940, 413-438. Of paramount interest to all students of the history of ideas is the development, in the seventeenth century, of formally organized scientific societies from the informal gatherings of devotees of science that preceded them. Today we can see clearly that one of the causes for the relative stagnation of science in Western Europe during the Middle Ages is that new findings - and there were many new facts of nature brought to light during this period - too often perished with their discoverers or were buried in manuscripts which, being available to few other investigators, gave little impetus to further progress. We likewise recognize that the remarkably accelerated advance of science from the seventeenth century onward was due in no small measure to the increased rapidity with which scientific information came to be transmitted not only among the scientists of separate localities and nations, but among investigators dispersed throughout the Western World. The importance of the first permanent scientific societies in this dissemination and interchange of scientific ideas and discoveries is universally conceded, and many valuable histories have been devoted to the careers of those organizations that survived.
