Excerpt from Natural Phenomena: A Collection of Descriptive and Speculative Essays on Some of the by-Paths of Nature There are many respects, indeed, in which, outside the tropics, the solar changes relating to the day have a close analogy to the solar changes relating to the year. Daily, as well as yearly, we have the Sun mounting up wards in the heavens, reaching its greatest elevation, and slowly descending. We may compare the crossing of the meridian by the Sun, midway in its daily visible journey, to its reaching its highest point in the heavens at the summer solstice, midway between its crossing of the equator in its progress into our hemisphere, and its subsequent crossing of the equator on its return to the opposite hemisphere.
