More confusing albeit the more delightful is a season when continued cold weather and chilly rains hold back all but the hardiest birds, until like the dammed-up piles of logs trembling with the spring freshets the tropic winds carry all before them, and all at once winter birds which have sojourned only a few miles south of us, summer residents which should have appeared weeks ago, together with the great host of Canadian and other nesters of the north, appear within a few days' time.
So difficult were the methods, so contradictory and confusing the results, because of impure cultures, that a student of to-day who wishes to look up the previous discoveries in almost any line of bacteriology need hardly go back of 1880, since he can almost rest assured that anything done earlier than that was more likely to be erroneous than correct.
On the afternoon of the twenty-seventh the clouds came down from the north, not a long furious tempest, but a brief, sharp storm, with considerable wind and a whirling, blinding fall of April snow. It was a bad night for boats at sea, confusing, bewildering, a night when the lighthouse had to do its best. Nataline was in the tower all night, tending the lamp, watching the clockwork.
The physical world-view is in terms of the convention of representation, but it is not, for all that, illusory. It can, ideally, be made as true as it is capable of being. There is no reason whatever for confusing the 'well-grounded seemings' of the apparent physical world with the fantastic seemings of dream and hallucination.
Oh, the weary, sickening waiting in the court for "my prisoner," the sordid vice, the revolting details of human depravity to which my unwilling eyes and ears were witnesses. I carried Lyons off in triumph, and the Middlesex magistrates quashed the conviction, the evidence being pronounced by them to be "confusing, contradictory, and worthless."
"The law says you should tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothin' but the truth," persisted the literal wooer. "Now, see here, Jonathan. Would you say that a dog's tail was false and misleadin' just because it isn't the whole dog?" This proposition was exceedingly confusing to Jonathan's intelligence, but after careful consideration he felt obliged to say "No." "Of course you wouldn't," Mrs.
They want government help in two ways: first, in the control of surpluses, and, second, in the proper use of land. The other day a reporter told me that he had never been able to understand why the government seeks to curtail crop production and, at the same time, to open up new irrigated acres. He was confusing two totally separate objectives.
It would be an easy map if that were all; but there is also first day at school, religion, fathers, the round pond, needlework, murders, hangings, verbs that take the dative, chocolate pudding day, getting into braces, say ninety-nine, three-pence for pulling out your tooth yourself, and so on; and either these are part of the island or they are another map showing through, and it is all rather confusing, especially as nothing will stand still.
"Ah, yes, poor Pere Brebeuf!" sighed the gentle sister, with the tone and manner of having lost him yesterday; "we had it down only last week, showing it to some Jesuit fathers; but it's in the convent now, and isn't to be seen." And there mingled apparently in her regret for Pere Brebeuf a confusing sense of his actual state as a portable piece of furniture.
"I call any man cool who would have told St. Lawrence upon the gridiron that he was frying," interrupted Fanny. "Oh! ah! yes! on the gridiron! Yes, very good! Ha! ha! Quite on the gridiron very much so! 'Tis very hot here. Don't you think so? It's quite confusing, like sort of bewildering. Don't you think so, Miss Newt?" Fanny was leveling her black eyes at him for a reply, but Mr.
