To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
You have seen those six-petalled flowers which form themr selves within a block of ice when a beam of heat is sent through it. The snow-crystals, formed in a calm atmos- phere, are built upon the same type': the molecules arrasge themselves to form hexagonal stars. From a central nuc- leus shoot six spicukB, every two of which are separated by an angle of 60°. From these central ribs smaller spic- ulflB shoot right and left with imerring fidelity to the angle 60°, and from these again other sma...ller ones diverge at the same angle. The six-leaved blossoms assume the most wonderful variety of form ; their tracery is of the finest frozen gauze ; and round about their comers other GAUSS OF EUBOPEAN MILDNESS. 195 rosettes of smaller dimensions often ding. Beauty is su- perposed upon beauty, as if Nature, onoe committed to her task, took delight in showing, even within the narrowest limits, the wealth of her resources.* These frozen blossoms constitute our mountain snows ; they load the Alpine heights, where their frail architecture is soon destroyed by the accidents of the weather.
