The apparent pathways of the birds seen in one hour.
The difficulty lies in the impossibility of reading the slants of the pathways on the moon precisely and in the three-dimensional nature of movement through space.
This formula, requiring thirty-five separate computations for the pathways reproduced in Figure 12 alone, is far too-consuming for the handling of large quantities of data.
As I have already pointed out, the flight directions of birds may be recorded with convenience and a fair degree of objectivity by noting the slant of their apparent pathways across the disc of the moon.
The observed cooerdinates of birds' pathways across the moon are the projected product of two component angles--the compass direction of the flight and its slope off the horizontal, or gradient.
Since the cooerdinates of the birds' apparent pathways at Beloit were given, I at first entertained the hope of computing the flight densities rigorously, by the method herein employed.
But these apparent pathways are seldom the real pathways.
Since individually computed directions are not very reliable in any event, little is to be lost by treating the observed pathways in groups.
Experienced computers eliminate a step by directly plotting the pathways through center, using a transparent plastic straightedge ruled off in parallel lines.
When a small telescope, mounted on a tripod, is focused on the moon, the birds that pass before the moon's disc may be seen and counted, and their apparent pathways recorded in terms of cooerdinates.
These apparentpathways can be designated in a simple manner.

Said he: Last summer I had again an opportunity of examining the pathways of some of the ancient glaciers of the Sierra.
Less grand and diversified in mountain forms than many from peaks above the Yosemite, it has added beauty of extensive water surface, and the added interest of several glacial pathways in a limited space.
The pathways of three of these glaciers I studied somewhat carefully, and after a few preliminary remarks, will describe in some detail.
Draw diagrams showing the impulse pathways in voluntary and in reflex action.
All such pathways are through the central nervous system.
The bulb, because of certain special reflex-action pathways completed through it, is the portion of the central nervous system concerned in the control of respiration, circulation, and the secretion of liquids.
Through the branching of the nerve fibers manypathways are open to the impulses.
The voluntary pathways are not distinct from, but include, reflex pathways, a fact which explains why the same external stimulus may excite both reflex and voluntary action (Fig.
The development of secondary reflexes probably consists in the establishment of fixed pathways for impulses through the nervous system.
From all portions of the body surface, afferent pathways may be traced to the cerebrum; and from the cerebrum efferent pathways extend to all the voluntary organs.

Howsoever it starts you may be sure that it seeks a way out, and prefers pathways already traversed.
Nerve pathways should then be guarded with respect to what enters.
These systems of pathwayswill be described in a later paragraph.
An abundance of nervous energy is very advantageous, for, as has been intimated in a former chapter, nervous energy is diffused and spread over all the pathways that are easily permeable to its distribution.
It may not manifest itself at once in overt action, but it affects the motorpathways and either weakens or strengthens connections so that when the opportunity comes, some act will be furthered or hindered.
It should also be observed that pathways made early have more chances of being used than those made recently.
Another maxim which will obviously prevent undesirable pathways is, go slowly at first.
The pathwaysfor complex acts, such as speaking English or French, or writing, are not formed at birth but must be built up within the life-time of the individual.
The first is: Guard the pathways leading to the brain.
As may be expected from our preliminary study of the nervous system, we see their first effects upon the motor pathways leading out to the muscles.

This consists in observing the progress of natural or artificially produced disease or damage to the tissues, mainly the nervous tissues, with a view to discovering the directions of pathways and the locations of connected functions.
It is a very important part of the brain, because all the nervepathways in from the sense organs, and from the brain out to the muscles, pass through it.
From these extend nervous pathways to various bodily structures.
