The word is often limited to nasal catarrh. The collection of large nerves descending from the lower end of the spinal cord. The name of the tiny miscroscopic elements, which, with slender threads or fibers, make up most of the body; they were once believed to be little hollow chambers; hence the name. Cement. The substance which forms the outer part of the fang of a tooth.
It was a thread so slender that it might have been spun by a miscroscopic spider. Three feet farther away was a camera with a moving film of sensitised material, the turning of which was regulated by a little flywheel.
Dolores read her letter over and over and over, for the pleasure of having something all to herself, and never communicated a word about the miscroscopic monsters her father had described, but she drew her head back and reflected, 'He little knows, when he spoke of her being happy among her cousins.
"Along with the earlier specimens of deep sea deposits sent home by naturalists during the first soundings in connection with the Atlantic telegraph cable, there was very often a sort of enveloping slimy mucus in the containing bottles which arrested the attention and excited the curiosity of the specialists to whom they were consigned. It was structureless to all miscroscopic examination.
Probably the Noctiluca is not rivalled in this respect even by miscroscopic unicellular algæ which compose the "red snow." By filtering sea-water containing Noctilucæ its light can be concentrated, and it has been found that a few teaspoonfuls will then yield light enough to enable one to read holding a book at the ordinary distance from the eyes about ten inches.
As they seated themselves at table Brahms, who had been in a brown study, suddenly proffered the company an extemporaneous criticism of Ivan's music, which he tore into miscroscopic bits, and flung upon the winds of sarcasm; after which he perorated elaborately upon his own power and the perfect academic accuracy of his style. When he had reached his final period, the silence was awe-inspiring.
None of us, I think, were cowards; but the agony of sitting there, tugging along two miles an hour, expecting to hear a volley of yells and musketry ring over the next ledge, drinking the cup of thought to its miscroscopic dregs, that was worse than fear! Only one consolation was left us. In the middle of the defile stood an overland station, where we were to get fresh horses.
For miscroscopic animalcules, Miss Agnes Catlow's "Drops of Water" will teach the young more than they will ever remember, and serve as a good introduction to those teeming abysses of the unseen world, which must be afterwards traversed under the guidance of Hassall and Ehrenberg.
