The coal, on falling upon a mass in a state of ignition, distills and becomes transformed into coke, which gradually slides down over a grate to produce afterward, through its own combustion, a distillation of the coal following it. But as these are features found in all generators we will not dwell upon them.

This done, he ingeniously replaces the bottle, slides the flask suspiciously into his bosom, saying, "It'll taste just as strong to a vote-cribber," and seeks that greasy potentate, the prison cook. This dignitary has always laid something aside for Spunyarn; he knows Spunyarn has something laid aside for him, which makes the condition mutual.

The panelling is divided, on each wall of the chamber, into seven compartments; the fourth compartment on the outer wall slides back, and gives access to a passage cut through the arch across St. Lawrence Lane and so to the Moot Hall." "There's one man here who knows all this!" whispered Tansley in Brent's ear. "Look at Krevin Crood!" Krevin was smiling.

"Wade, you ain't agoin' to start thet tellin' hell-bent happenin's to come hyar at White Slides?" interrupted Belllounds, plaintively.

Lucia, the southern point of Grenada slides into the sea, the last of the true Antilles.
