On the other hand, the yeasts and algae required carbon dioxide and yielded copious amounts of oxygen as they grew. In Roger Hunter's little orbit-ship the ventilation shafts were small, a loose network of foot-square ducts leading from the central pumps and air-reconditioning units to every compartment in the ship. But in a ship of this size.... The grill was over a yard wide, four feet tall.
I shall never forget what Dallas Brown said to me, standing with a coal shovel in one hand and a well, perhaps it would be better to tell it all in the order it happened. It began with Jimmy Wilson and a conspiracy, was helped on by a foot-square piece of yellow paper and a Japanese butler, and it enmeshed and mixed up generally ten respectable members of society and a policeman.
With a practised foot he rolled three of his younger brothers like logs out of his way as they lay sleeping on the floor. Before a foot-square looking glass hung by the window he stood and shaved himself. If that may seem to you a task too slight to be thus impressively chronicled, I bear with you; you do not know of the areas to be accomplished in traversing the cheek and chin of Mr. McQuirk.
I want some of the real old camp chuck -plenty of it," retorted Reade, drawing a pocket comb out and running it through his damp locks while he gazed into the foot-square camp mirror hanging from a tree. "May we come in?" inquired Tom, pausing in the doorway of the engineers' mess tent. "Not if you're in doubt about it," replied Mr. Blaisdell, who was already eating with great relish.
The burial clothes of a married man are the los-a'-dan, or blue anito-figured burial robe, and a breechcloth of beaten bark, called "chi-nang-ta'." In the coffin are placed a fa'-a, or blue cotton breechcloth made in Titipan, the fan-cha'-la, a striped blue-and-white cotton blanket, and the to-chong', a foot-square piece of beaten bark or white cloth which is laid on the head.
It was the light of the rising moon coming through his little, steel-barred window. To Kent it had crept into his cell like a living thing. He watched it, fascinated. His eyes followed it to the foot-square aperture, and there, red and glorious as it rose over the forests, the moon itself filled the world. For a space he saw nothing but that moon crowding the frame of his window.
He dented the crown until the hat had that rakish appearance dear to the heart of the cowboy. Then he took the foot-square looking-glass from the wall and studied the effect at various and more or less unsatisfactory angles.
This time he was seated by the foot-square, dust-covered table assorting cigarettes. He had transferred my small luggage bag, coat, etc. to the lower berth, and had arranged his own belongings in the upper one. He sprang to his feet the instant he saw me. The bow of the Sleeping-Car Manager to the Pigeon Charmer was but a bend in a telegraph-pole to the sweep the bald-headed man now made me.
He was led to an upper chamber, a small, bare, tiled-floored room, lighted by a foot-square window, on which the shutter was half closed against the rays of the sun. Some aromatic odour hung in the air. 'Do you feel able to talk? asked the captain as he entered. 'I am quite restored, was the reply of a man sitting up in the bed. 'The fever has passed.
Stone lintels were not used for these doorways, as stones three feet long would have been required. No stones of half that length are to be seen in any of the walls. They had, however, the idea of a stone lintel, for they used them in this structure over the foot-square openings for light and air. We found a stone lintel over an opening eighteen inches wide in a cliff house on the Mancos River.
