Q. What are the ultimate strengths of the malleable and cast iron, brass, and other materials employed in the construction of engines? A. The tensile and crushing strengths of any given material are by no means the same.
We went all over the house, which differs little from a Japanese house of the present day, except that a higher style of art was employed in its construction and decoration. From here we went to quite another quarter of the city to see what was formerly the Tycoon's palace, now used as a sort of police office.
"As a matter of fact, the use of that drug is not less clever than the use of the venom or the toxin; it is more so. Stop and think a minute! The snake venom was employed in the case of Miss Lamar's death because it offered about the least possible chance of leaving telltale clues behind.
