This was the third time of its being open to the public. As it is of a novel kind, some account of it may not be uninteresting. In French, it is denominated THERMOLAMPES, or stoves which afford heat and light on an economical plan. The author of this invention, for which a patent has been obtained, is M. LEBON, an engineer of bridges and highways.
If your countrymen are uninteresting, you may possibly wish to meet some of your countrywomen. I've been abroad enough to know that you have never found their superiors." "Well, that depends upon who my countrywoman is. I should prefer to see her before I intrude " "Risk being bored, you mean." "As you please. Fie, Strahan! you are not cultivating a soldier's penchant for women?"
"No. You misunderstand me. I didn't fall in love with her. I say that I might have loved her. Perhaps upon becoming acquainted with her, I might have smiled at my foolish belief might have found her uninteresting." "You said there was one or two the other one? What about her?" "I don't remember her at all. I say that I may have seen her, but I don't recall her."
Later on the country becomes flat and uninteresting till the Bogue Forts are reached. Here are to be seen the remains of the old forts knocked down by the French and English guns. About one o'clock we reached Whampoa, the leading port of Canton.
At any season of the year, the tract over which we passed yesterday must be an uninteresting one as regards its natural features; and the only adornment, as far as I could observe, which art has given it, consists in straight rows of very stiff-looking and slender-stemmed trees. In the dusk they resembled poplar-trees.
He was discussing the landing of the Pilgrim Fathers and was evidently wound up for an hour, and the audience was beginning to move restlessly. A low murmur of disapprobation ran through the house as the untimely, uninteresting speech dragged its weary length, when a gallery god cried out: "Did you bring that thing from the North Pole, Dr. Jones? Trot it off and give us some more music."
She was the centre of a group; every one seemed to have something to say to her, and she was so nice with them all, kissing the children, and having a bright smile and word for some of the most uninteresting women and stupid-looking boys I ever saw. Just as I was going out of the door I felt a soft touch upon my arm, and turned to find her beside me.
What we call "society" was impossible, although the barons may have exchanged visits with each other. They rarely visited cities, which at that time were small and uninteresting. The lordly proprietor of ten thousand acres may have been jolly, frank, and convivial, but he was still rough, and had little to say on matters of great interests.
The July grasses must be looked for in corners and out-of-the-way places, and not in the broad acres the scythe has taken them there. By the wayside on the banks of the lane, near the gateway look, too, in uninteresting places behind incomplete buildings on the mounds cast up from abandoned foundations where speculation has been and gone.
There cannot be a much more uninteresting animal than the hard-hided, knock-kneed Hyæna, which is pre-eminently African, although he is found in the East; having, according to the opinion of some naturalists, migrated thither in the wake of caravans. He has a ferocious, ill-natured look, yet the first impression made by his appearance can only be expressed by the word "sneaking."
