Each box, as A, B, has therein a plurality of vertical and horizontal partitions, so that a number of cells are provided, the two cell-like boxes being held apart by a bar C, axially arranged. This type is remarkably stable, due to the small cells, and kites of this kind are largely used for making scientific experiments. THE TETRAHEDRAL KITE. Prof. Tetrahedral Kite.
Now who'd ha' thought o' that? Axially wantin' her own father! I'd run far enough out o' the way o' mine an' farther if he wur a-axin' arter me. Mat. Oh me! my side! Sus. It's hunger, poor dear! This won't do, Bill! I'm a shamed o' you, Bill! Exit. Mat. No, Susan, it's not hunger. It's the old story, Sue. Sus. Mattie! I never!
The anterior part of the tube is supported at both ends, and is thus fixed in a direction pointing towards the pole, with only the power of twisting axially. The posterior section is joined on to it at right angles, and presents the object-glass, accordingly, to the celestial equator, in the plane of which it revolves.
A fine crater-row traverses the central part of the interior, nearly axially, and a delicate cleft crosses the N. half of the floor from the inner foot of the N.E. wall to a crater not far from the opposite side. I detected another cleft on November 11, 1883, also crossing the N. side of the floor.
'The effect, he says, 'occurs at a single pole; and it is then striking to observe a long piece of a substance so diamagnetic as bismuth repelled, and yet at the same moment set round with force, axially, or end on, as a piece of magnetic substance would do. The effect perplexed him; and in his efforts to release himself from this perplexity, no feature of this new manifestation of force escaped his attention.
The same body when suspended in a solution of weaker magnetic power than itself, is attracted as a whole, while an elongated portion of it sets axially. And now theoretic questions rush in upon him. Is this new force a true repulsion, or is it merely a differential attraction?
That the deportment of magnetic crystals is exactly antithetical to that of diamagnetic crystals isomorphous with the magnetic ones, was proved to be a general law of action. In all cases, the line which in a diamagnetic crystal set equatorially, always set itself in an isomorphous magnetic crystal axially. By mechanical compression other bodies were also made to imitate the Iceland spar.
It was held, following Cuvier, that the beings of the animal kingdom had been created in accordance with five preconceived types: the vertebrate, with a spinal column; the articulate, with jointed body and members, as represented by the familiar crustaceans and insects; the mollusk, of which the oyster and the snail are familiar examples; the radiate, with its axially disposed members, as seen in the starfish; and the low, almost formless protozoon, most of whose representatives are of microscopic size.
The rod is a 1/2-inch blind rod, the pointer a stout knitting-needle driven axially into one end of the rod. This pointer, being of small diameter, follows the minor curves and angles of the features much more closely than would be possible with the rod.
He then suspended a bar of the glass between two poles; the bar retreated when the poles were excited, and set its length equatorially or at right angles to the line joining them. When an ordinary magnetic body was similarly suspended, it always set axially, that is, from pole to pole.
