The Fairy-Land of Science

What
has
been
happening
here?
and
why
have
the
things
in
the
room
become
visible
by
such
slow
degrees?
We
say
that
the
sun
is
rising,
but
we
know
very
well
that
it
is
not
the
sun
which
moves,
but
that
our
earth
has
been
turning
slowly
round,
and
bringing
the
little
spot
on
which
we
live
face
to
face
with
the
great
fiery
ball,
so
that
his
beams
can
fall
upon
us.
Take
a
small
globe,
and
stick
a
piece
of
black
plaster
over
England,
then
let
a
lighted
lamp
represent
the
sun,
and
turn
the
globe
slowly,
so
that
the
spot
creeps
round
from
the
dark
side
away
from
the
lamp,
until
it
catches,
first
the
rays
which
pass
along
the
side
of
the
globe,
then
the
more
direct
rays,
and
at
last
stands
fully
in
the
blaze
of
the
light.
Just
this
was
happening
to
our
spot
of
the
world
as
you
lay
in
bed
and
saw
the
light
appear;
and
we
have
to
learn
today
what
those
beams
are
which
fall
upon
us
and
what
they
do
for
us.
