FOOTNOTES:
Transcriber’s Note
Variations in hyphenation (i.e. thunderstorm and thunder-storm) have been retained. The following apparent typographical errors were corrected:
Page 171, “focussed” changed to “focused.” (it should be focused on the horizon)
Page 173, “aperature” changed to “aperture.” (the lens with its large aperture)
