Rollo's father smiled, as he said this, but Rollo looked rather ashamed. Then his father proceeded: "There is one very remarkable difference between them. Water is not compressible by force; but air is." "What is the meaning of compressible?" said Nathan.
"Why, I can't understand it very well." "Can't you?" said his father. "Well, I must admit that you are rather too young to study pneumatics." "Pneumatics?" repeated Rollo. "Yes," said his father; "that is the name of this science." "What, the science of air?" said Rollo. "Yes," said his father, "the science which treats of air, and of all other compressible and expansive fluids. But let me think.
He insisted on talking, craving news, and demanding food, but he complained of no pain. His tongue was dry and cracked, and coated a brownish black. He was ravenously hungry. His pulse was 52, and soft or compressible. His skin was cold, clammy, shriveled, and sallow. His temperature under the tongue was 97.2 deg.
As with the larvæ of Capricornis and Buprestes, it is enough for the traveller to have around it the small amount of free space necessitated by its movements. Moist, soft, and easily compressible soil is to the larva of the Cigale what digested wood-pulp is to the others. It is compressed without difficulty, and so leaves a vacant space.
This was a statement of fundamental significance, but it required the discoveries and the genius of Young to give it meaning. How he did so will gradually become clear to you. You know that air is compressible: that by pressure it can be rendered more dense, and that by dilatation it can be rendered more rare.
While the most common situation is in the subcutaneous tissue, a cavernous angioma is sometimes met with in internal organs. It may appear at any age from early youth to middle life, and is of slow growth and may become stationary. The swelling is rounded or oval, there is no pulsation or bruit, and the tumour is but slightly compressible. The treatment consists in dissecting it out.
The diving-bell was so styled owing to the first machines being made in the shape of a gigantic bell. An inverted wine-glass, thrust mouth downwards into water, will not fill with water, owing to the air which it contains keeping the water out. It will partially fill, however, because air is compressible, and the deeper down it is thrust the more will the air be compressed.
Such a concentration of rage and scorn as darkened her face, and flashed in her jet-black eyes, I could not have thought compressible even into that face. The scar made by the hammer was, as usual in this excited state of her features, strongly marked. When the throbbing I had seen before, came into it as I looked at her, she absolutely lifted up her hand, and struck it.
These two lectures are fragmentary and ill-arranged, but not, I think, diffuse or much compressible. After these paragraphs, let me ask you to read, by the fiery light of recent events, the fable at p. 170 , and then paragraphs 129-131 ; and observe, my statement respecting the famine at Orissa is not rhetorical, but certified by official documents as within the truth.
He had let submersion final and absolute become the signal for it a mere minor determinant having been the more or less contemporaneously unfavourable effect on the business of Drury & Dean of the sudden disappearance of Mr. Dean with the single small tin box into which the certificates of the firm's credit had been found to be compressible.
