Thus the amount collected by the "regie" was not sufficient to provide for the service of the ever increasing bonded debt and in 1897 there was another default. The old remedy of a new bond issue was to be tried again. The San Domingo Improvement Company undertook to float the eighth bond issue of L2,736,750 in bonds at 2-3/4 per cent and L1,500,000 in bonds at four per cent.
To take another example in the case of a mill for twisting cotton yarn into thread: In this mill there are 27 frames with 96 common throstle spindles in each, making in all 2592 spindles. The spindles turn 2200 times in a minute; the bobbins are 1-7/8 inches diameter, and the part which holds the thread is 2-3/16 inches long.
And in order that the thing may not seem perfectly and profoundly ridiculous there shall be a school of twenty-four boys and twelve girls. This was the solution proposed and adopted by two eminent Chancellors, and carried into effect for thirty years. During the years 1858-1863 the average revenue was £7,460 8s. 2-3/4d.
In three years I was able to nearly obliterate the type of my variety. I chose the seedlings with an undivided primary leaf, cultivated them and counted their offspring separately after the sowing. I found some parents with only 2-3% of seedlings with divided primary leaves.
The link is formed of iron case-hardened, and is 2-3/4 inches deep at the middle, and 2-3/8 inches deep at the ends, and 1 inch broad. The opening in the link, which extends nearly its entire length, is 1-5/16 inch broad; and into this opening a brass block 2 inches long is truly fitted, there being a hole through the block 3/4 inch diameter, for the reception of the pin of the valve shaft lever.
The car he spoke of was the car in which I had come out to the station. I could testify that something had broken the glass! One of the officers had just received what he said were official percentages of casualties in killed, wounded and missing among the Allies, to the first of February. The Belgian percentage was 66 2-3, the English 33 1-3 and the French 7.

It gets its name from the land having been bestowed by Edward the Elder upon Asser, Bishop of Sherborne, in 904. Its church has an exceptionally fine tower, with double windows in the belfry. The W. window is good and the tower arch very lofty. There is also the base and broken shaft of what was once the village cross. Bishop's Sutton, a village 2-3/4 m. W. of Clutton, with a modern church.
On my last day at the Park, I was allowed to handle a cobra. I held a stick under the neck of the cobra and then lifted it by its tail. I did this about 2-3 times after which the cobra was put back in its box. I was so excited and happy. It was a perfect ending to my stay at the Snake Park. As I write this I think about my other previous experiences with snakes.
At this rate of precession, which modern, calculation has confirmed, it requires 71 2-3 years for the Cardinal points to pass through one degree on the Ecliptic, and 2150 years through thirty degrees, or one sign of the Zodiac.
