Aunt Mary slept more and more, and awoke to an ever-increasing ratio of belligerency. Before long Lucinda’s third cousin demanded her assistance in "moving," and there was nothing for poor Arethusa to do but to take up the burden, now become a fearfully heavy one.
Its bearing on natural selection The term used in a wide sense Geometrical ratio of increase Rapid increase of naturalised animals and plants Nature of the checks to increase Competition universal Effects of climate Protection from the number of individuals Complex relations of all animals and plants throughout nature Struggle for life most severe between individuals and varieties of the same species: often severe between species of the same genus The relation of organism to organism the most important of all relations.
Leisure, certainly, but the means are slender enough, and proceeding in a diminishing ratio. That's the penalty of having been born a rich man's son and educated chiefly in the arts of riding off at polo and thrashing a single-sticker to windward in a Cape Cod squall. But I sha'n't say a word against the governor, God bless him!
Ten years ago the freight received from the inland was principally by the canals. Approximately 2,300,000 tons were received by rail and 5,500,000 tons by canal boats. This ratio has not been maintained, but the canal traffic now is much larger than the rail tonnage.

This is hardly the place to dwell upon the amount of knowledge acquired from birth to five years of age; yet when you consider how the mind is reaching in every direction, appropriating, investigating, drawing conclusions which are the foundation of all our after-knowledge, you will see that the brain is working with an intensity never afterwards equaled; and, as brain-work means actual destruction of brain-fiber, how vital it is that food should be furnished in the right ratio, and made up of the right elements!
The guide said the other fellow would have cheated them in the same ratio, if Louis had agreed, as he required, to buy. Then they looked into an opium joint, where the smokers were reclining on broad benches. The pipe was a tube with the bowl on the top. The drug is boiled till it is of the consistency of honey.
You can realise it, and begin by taking over two or three hundred picked Irish and English have both races capable of handling spade and musket; purchasing some thousands of acres to establish a legal footing there. 'You increase your colony from the mother country in the ratio of your prosperity, until your power is respected, and there is a necessity for the extension of your territory.
