Griffith says, 'The Mohammedans of Africa have a singular belief that if they die with a portion of this nut in their stomach their everlasting happiness is secured. This must be some fanciful Christian tale. In Susan Bay there is a good coal-shed with a small supply for the use of the colonial steamer. A store of compressed coal is on the town-front and heaps used to lie about King Tom's Point.
"You would never have known there was a child in the house, they were such still, noiseless, good little creatures," said one of my informants. Mr. Brontë wished to make the children hardy, and indifferent to the pleasures of eating and dress. His strong passionate nature was in general compressed down with resolute stoicism. Mrs.
"My palace has become a prison from which I must free myself. The very air I breathe is heavy with sleep and dreams. It suffocates me. I must have life here and without." "I understand thee too well," came the answer from compressed lips. "The curse is on thee. Thou wilt go among my enemies, and it is I, with my mistaken wisdom, who have opened thy path to them.
And she threw herself back in her easy-chair, crossed one leg over the other so as to display a fair amount of slender foot and silk-clocked stocking, as it is the elegant fashion of the day to do; clasped her hands behind her head, and fixed her eyes on the ceiling, being evidently determined to let the subject drop. Lady Fulda compressed her lips. She was baffled, and she was perplexed.
The further down the greater the pressure. The normal atmospheric pressure at the surface is about fourteen pounds to the square inch. Men in normal health should be able to stand a pressure of seventy-six pounds to the square inch and this would call for a depth of 178 feet under water surface, which far exceeds any depth worked under compressed air.
As usual, I became aware that the Man from Bombay had already written the story; but as he had compressed it to an eight-word sentence, I have become an expansionist, and have quoted his phrase above, with apologies to him and best regards to Terence. "Don't you ever have a desire to go back to the land of derby hats and starched collars?" I asked him.
She tightened her grip on the handkerchief and kept her lips firmly compressed. Gilbart saw that, though tearless, her eyes wore traces of tears no redness, but some swelling of the lids, with dark semicircles underneath. "To them," he went on, nodding toward the holiday-keepers, "it's only regatta day. To them she's only a passing ship helping to make up the pretty scene.
"Lighter, to be sure," said Robert Hagburn; "there is the lightness of the Englishwomen compressed into little space. I have seen them and know.
Bending his haughty head, he asked: "Will you be reasonable?" A heavy sigh broke over her compressed mouth, and she answered in a low, but almost defiant tone: "It seems I cannot help myself." "Then yield gracefully to the inevitable, and you will learn that when struggles end, peace quickly follows." She chose neither to argue, nor acquiesce, and slowly shook her head. "Regina."
A. If the steam be shut off at half stroke, the pressure of the steam, reckoning the total pressure both below and above the atmosphere, will just be one-half of what it was at the beginning of the stroke. It is a well known law of pneumatics, that the pressure of elastic fluids varies inversely as the spaces into which they are expanded or compressed.
