The general appearance should be a bright, indefinite coloration, which is considered especially useful in a hunting dog. WEIGHT Dachshunds in Germany are classified by weight as follows: Light-weight Dogs up to 16-1/2 lb., bitches up to 15-1/2 lb. Middle-weight Dogs up to 22 lb., bitches up to 22 lb. Heavy-weight Over 22 lb. Toys Up to 12 lb. The German pound is one-tenth more than the English.
This mass of gases has weight, and presses upon objects at the surface of the earth to the extent of 15 lb. on the square inch. Now some liquids, such as water, were it not for this atmospheric pressure, would not remain liquids at all, but would become gases. The pressure thus tends to squeeze gases together and convert them into liquids.
At 39° Fahr., 1 lb. of air measures 12½ cubic feet. Let us suppose that 1 lb. of air at 39° Fahr. = 500° absolute, is contained in a non-conducting cylinder of 1 foot area and 12½ feet deep under a counterpoised piston. The pressure of the atmosphere on the piston = 144 square inches × 14.7 lb., or 2,116 lb.
Messieurs Spiers and Pond would buy any quantity of it, and of late years Brazilian coffee-planters have taken shoots to be grown at home. Here it fetches 1s. per lb.; in England the price doubles. This coffee requires keeping for many months, or the infusion is potent enough to cause the 'shakes; it is the same with Brazilian green tea. The bouquet is excellent, and the flavour pretty good.
The boiler is 11 ft. long by 4 ft. 2 in. diameter; the grate area is 16.25 square feet; and the heating surface is, tubes, 1,216.5 square feet; fire-box, 97.0 square feet; total, 1,313.5 square feet. The boiler pressure is 140 lb., and the tractive power per lb. of steam pressure in the cylinders, 88 lb.
Take 2 small eggs and half quantities of the ingredients given for the cake mixture. Add the grated rind of half a lemon for flavouring. Grease a tin for small cakes with 9 depressions. Put a spoonful of the mixture in each depression. Bake for 20 minutes in a hot oven. 1/2 lb. desiccated cocoanut, 1/4 lb. sugar, 2 small eggs. Proceed as for Macaroons, but make the cakes smaller.
Picked sorts are worth 15s. per lb., and even more. Saladin Bey, La Turquie a l'Exposition, p. 91. In Cuba the tobacco industry is entirely free.
These were in one piece, but they were too hard for the delicate grinding necessary to make the fine flour needed for good bread. They answered best for barley meal. Now, the French burr was not only hard but mild, and seemed to feel the corn as it crushed it. A sack of wheat lost 4 lb. in grinding.
They can be caught close to the surface, at mid-water and at the bottom, and as a rule vegetable baits, such as boiled macaroni, or ragworms are found to answer best. Usually ground-baiting is necessary, and the finer the tackle used the greater is the chance of sport. Not a few anglers fish with a float as if for river fish. The fish runs up to about 8 lb in weight.
Now I go by the seed catalogue, planting, not after the dish, as if my only vision were a garden peeled and in the pot, but after the Bush., Peck, Qt., Pt., Lb., Oz., Pkg., so many pounds to the acre, instead of so many seeds to the meal.
