Therefore sent he me to teach thee all these things to be both a speaker of words and a doer of deeds.
Side 167 - Asm suming that this is clear, and that we know how to determine the ratio of the charge to the mass of the cathode particle, we take the second step, which is more difficult, involving a still more brilliant series of experiments.
Side 21 - Jabal, the father of such as dwell in tents, and of such as have cattle, lifts the curtain of his tent to look out upon his flock. His dog watches it. 5. Jubal, the father of all such as handle the harp and organ.

Side 113 - When any substance was introduced into this arch, it instantly became ignited ; platina melted as readily in it as wax in the flame of a common candle ; quartz, the sapphire, magnesia, lime, all entered into fusion...
Side 233 - There being no separate steam supply to the reheater coils, nor any separate drain from the high pressure jackets, it is not possible to use either jackets or reheater alone.

The low-pressure cylinder is unjacketed. I have gone into the principal details of this plant that you may appreciate the fact that the highest economy was sought...
Side 23 - Here and the're it was broken by a rare hillside glade, or by a meadow in a stream valley; but elsewhere a man might travel for weeks as if in a perpetual twilight, never once able to see the sun through the interlacing twigs that formed a dark canopy above his head.

This method of operation can be followed until...
