We have brought nothing but the bare necessaries of life all our heavy boxes are gone to Chicago to await our return being warned to bring as little as possible, on account of the difficulties of transport in the mountains, also of only being allowed 50 lbs. weight on the coach, every extra lb. charged ten cents.
At 20.2 miles per hour these resistances respectively became 19.0, 8.19, and 12.2 lbs. At 441 miles per hour the resistances became 34.0, 21.10, and 25.5 lbs., and at 57.4 miles an hour they became 35.5, 17.81, and 23.8 lbs. Q. Is it not maintained that the resistance of the atmosphere to the progress of railway trains increases as the square of the velocity?
It consists of an iron box, open at the top, at each end of which are two plates, capable of containing between them a bag of seed which shall yield a cake weighing 9 lbs.
This bulk of damp castings was found to weigh 1.85 oz. Therefore 11.56 lbs. of damp earth, instead of 7 lbs. of dry earth as by the former calculation, would annually cross a line 100 yards in length on our inclined surface.
The actual power, on the contrary, is a mechanical force or dynamical effort capable of raising a given weight through a given distance in a given time, and of which the amount is ascertainable by scientific investigation. Q. Is there any other measure of an actual horse power than 33,000 lbs. raised one foot high in the minute?
At a ball-game the sight of a man slumbering on the benches is inconceivable. Sea-fishing also attracted me very much. On the California coast, around Catalina and other islands, great sport is to be had among the yellow-tails, running up to 50 lbs. weight. They are a truly game fish and put up a capital fight.
The total product of this tea is but 18,000,000 lbs. per annum, an insignificant quantity compared with the aggregate crops of Chinese or of Indian tea gardens. If the exceptional characteristics of Formosa Oolong accompanied the plant when removed to other localities, its cultivation would quickly become greatly extended.
My method in making such wines was very simple. I generally took the same quantity of water, the husks had given original must, or in other words, when I had pressed 100 gallons of juice, I took about 80 gallons of water. To make Concord wine, I added 1-3/4 lbs. of sugar to the gallon, as I calculated upon some sugar remaining in the husks, which were not pressed entirely dry.
By using larger exhaust passages, larger tubes, and closer fire bars, the consumption was subsequently brought down to 15 lbs. per mile. Q. Will you state the proper dimensions of the air pump and condenser in laud and marine engines? A Mr.
There are also the later Wright engines, and in America the Wisconsin six-cylinder vertical, weighing well under 4 lbs. per horse-power, is evidence of the progress made with this first type of aero engine to develop.
