When placed about the rim or base, these fillets are often indented with the finger or an implement in a way to imitate, rudely, a heavy twisted cord a feature evidently borrowed from basketry. Nodes are likewise attached in various ways to the neck and body of the vessel.
Other varieties make a stout and vigorous but shorter growth, with more and heavier branches, shorter nodes and many small medium-sized clusters of fruit well distributed over the plant and which mature through a fairly long season.
He determined the inequality of the sun, and the place of its apogee, as well as its mean motion; the mean motion of the moon, of its nodes and apogee; the equation of the moon's centre, and the inclination of its orbit; he likewise detected a second inequality, of which he could not, for want of proper observations, discover the period and the law.
All along the upper rim the sustaining structure was more distinctly visible than elsewhere. Here was a maze of taut brown threads stretching in places across a span of six inches, with here and there a tiny knot. These were actually tie-strings of living ants, their legs stretched almost to the breaking-point, their bodies the inconspicuous knots or nodes.
OR is it sufficient to suppose the automatic formation of such nodes or starting-points without the intervention of any special hero or genius, and to imagine that in each case the myth-making tendency of mankind CREATED a legendary and inspiring figure and worshiped the same for a long period afterwards as a god?
His heroes endure rough handling, but they fight their way, for the most part, to the essential qualities of gentlemen. They are no saints; but excellent comrades, honest lovers, and brave tars. See further Preface to F M. From Nodes Ambrosianæ: Peter Simple in his ain way's as gude's Parson Adams ... He that invented Peter Simple's a Sea-Fieldin'.
In sharp contrast with the above is the tomato De Laye, often called Tree tomato. This originated about 1862 in a garden at Chateau de Laye, France. In this the plant rarely exceeds 18 inches in hight, is single-stemmed or with few very short branches, the nodes very short, the fruit clusters few and small.
The stem, as the scholars have already learned, is the axis of the plant. The leaves are produced at certain definite points called nodes, and the portions of stem between these points are internodes. The internode, node, and leaf make a single plant-part, and the plant is made up of a succession of such parts. The stem, as well as the root and leaves, may bear plant-hairs.
"That's true," said Ardan; "the cone of the Earth's shadow must extend far beyond the Moon." "Nearly four times as far," said Barbican; "still, as the Moon's orbit and the Earth's do not lie in exactly the same plane, a Lunar eclipse can occur only when the nodes coincide with the period of the Full Moon, which is generally twice, never more than three times in a year.
Darco shook the room again by a new plunge into the armchair, and the trembling landlady cleared away. 'Now, dake nodes! he roared, as she left the room. 'I shall be very glad to take notice, sir, said the landlady. 'Nodes! shouted Darco. 'Nodes. I am not dalking to you. I am dalking to my brivade zegredary. Paul seized a pencil, set a pile of paper before him on the table, and waited.
