"Howly do?" he repeated, extending his hand, which Melville was too prudent to accept. "No," he replied, compressing his lips, and keeping his finger on the trigger of his gun, "Red Feather speaks with a double tongue; he is not our friend."
We know that 33,000 foot pounds is one horse power, and we see how easily about two-thirds of a horse power in heat units may be produced and lost in compressing one pound of air. I would mention here that exactly this same loss is suffered when compressed air does work in an engine and is expanded down to its original pressure.
When it's finished, it can be hung up at the Art Rooms, and who knows but you may secure a husband by it?" "I wouldn't marry," said his aunt, firmly compressing her lips, "not if anybody'd go down on their knees to me." "Now I am sure, Aunt Rachel, that's cruel in you."

For a while it tried to kill its game by holding it up out of the water, but the fish grew heavy, and every few moments its struggles brought down the snake's head. This would not do.

This may be easily done with a pair of pincers, by compressing a loop at each end of the wire around the two which run perpendicularly at its ends.

"Proceed!" said Algernon, compressing his lips, as one whose mind is made up for the worst. "Proceed, sir. I know your mission." "The deuce you do!" replied the other, in astonishment; "then you must have a very remarkable faculty for divining secrets.

"At least we can give those fellows something to think about between now and daylight," Dave returned, compressing his lips grimly.

But Mirandy was no shrew; she was simply troubled about many things. "Well," she said, compressing her lips, and wrinkling her forehead in resignation. "If folks want to kill themselves, I can't hender 'em! But when he's down ag'in, I shall be the one to take care of him, that's all. Here, Cyrus, don't you go into that cold bedroom. You shave you here, if you're determined to do it."
