Good-will diminishes the toll which labour takes of the labourer; envy and hatred vastly increase it while they diminish its product. It is, of course, impossible that the worker should not resent having to devote his life to making what is useless or mischievous, and to ministering to the irrational wastefulness of luxury.
Cross into England. The inaptitude for the plastic art strikingly diminishes, as soon as the German, not the Celtic element, preponderates in the race. And yet in England, too, in the English race, there is something which seems to prevent our reaching real mastership in the plastic arts, as the more unmixed German races have reached it.
There are languages of which the appetite and digestive power, the assimilative energy, is at some periods almost unlimited. Nothing is too hard for them; everything turns to good with them; they will shape and mould to their own uses and habits almost any material offered to them. This, however, is in their youth; as age advances, the assimilative energy diminishes.
The fresh meat revived the dogs and undoubtedly contributed to the good results of the expedition. One last glance, one last adieu, we sent back to "Polheim." Then we resumed our journey. We still see the flag; it still waves to us. Gradually it diminishes in size and finally entirely disappears from our sight. A last greeting to the Little Norway lying at the South Pole!
What wonder, then, if very recently an appeal has been made to statistics for the profoundly foolish purpose of showing that education is of no good that it diminishes neither misery nor crime among the masses of mankind? I reply, why should the thing which has been called education do either the one or the other?
When the piston descends, the cylinder is required to be cold, otherwise it meets some steam there, still very elastic, which retards the operation very much, and diminishes the effect of the external atmosphere.
Probably the Arab account diminishes, but of the two keeps nearer to the truth. The Merovingian kings had sunk into absolute insignificance, and had become mere puppets of royalty before the eighth century.
With low or moderate speeds there is a perceptible equality between the theoretic curve and the curve of the fast boat; but, starting from 16 kilometers, the stress diminishes.
Calculations prove that this speed is sufficient. In proportion to the distance from the earth the force of gravitation diminishes in an inverse ratio to the square of the distance that is to say, that for a distance three times greater that force is nine times less.
"Yes," replied Combeferre, "that augments the projectile force, but diminishes the accuracy of the firing.
