present building. Only the tower remains of the old church. 

 I find that a church or chapel was consecrated on the 1st 

 October, 1544, by John Bird, first Bishop of Chester. He says 

 in his decree, "after having been moved by the desires, requests 

 and petitions of worthy men, and because the late chapel of the 

 Blessed Virgin Mary of Pendill, in the parish of Whalley, sett 

 and situate far distant from the parochial church, for the com- 

 modities of those who live there, he consecrates the church, and 

 to avoid all strifes and discords, of and for the perceiving of the 

 fruits, oblations, rights, and emoluments of the said chapel or of 

 the parochial church, which, between the Vicar of the Parish 

 Church of Whalley, having care of the souls there for the tirne 

 being, and their successors, on the one part, and certain inhabit- 

 ants of the said church or chapel of St. Mary of Pendill aforesaid, 

 and their successors on the other part, namely, James Hargreaves, 

 Edmund Stevenson, householders of the hamlet of Goldshaw ; 

 John Mankinalls, William Bulcock, householders of Barelee and 

 Whittley respectively ; John Hartley, Myles Nutter, householders 

 of Roughlee ; and John Robinson, householder of Auld Launde. 

 These householders are to have the control of the funds of the 

 church, without contradiction or reclamation of the Vicar of 

 Whalley, except certain tythes, &c., to the Rector of the Parish 

 Church of Whalley." The Bishop goes on to say that if any 

 foreigner attend church, and will not pay a fair share of the 

 repairs and expenses, the chaplain must cite and caU them before 

 him (us) the said Bishop.

1. ' The Heat of the Sun, the Source op all Eneegy. 



If the power of the tides, and the power derived from the in- 

 ternal heat of the earth be excepted, the whole energy of the 

 world, whether displayed as steam power, or wind power, as 

 water power, or again under the form of electrical or muscular 

 energy, is ultimately derived from the heat of the sun. 



2, The Heat of the Sun teansmitted by Radlition. 



Heat is transmitted in three ways, by conduction, by convection, 

 and by radiation. By conduction when there is actual contact 

 either between a cold and hot body, or between the hotter and 

 colder portions of the same body; by convection when the 

 material body containing the heat is carried from one place to 

 another ; and, finally, by that transference of energy of vibration
