The bird enters at a funnel-like aperture in the bottom, and by this arrangement the young are effectually protected from reptiles.
The tall, majestic, meditative Arab superb as mere man, and standing naked- footed on his sandy native soil, with his one rough garment flung round his loins and his great black eyes fronting, eagle-like, the sun merits something considerable for condescending to act as guide and servant to the Western moneyed civilian who clothes his lower limbs in straight, funnel-like cloth casings, shaped to the strict resemblance of an elephant's legs, and finishes the graceful design by enclosing the rest of his body in a stiff shirt wherein he can scarcely move, and a square-cut coat which divides him neatly in twain by a line immediately above the knee, with the effect of lessening his height by several inches.
My favorite insect lives in this other case; she is at home, but in her private-chamber; you shall see her. He tapped on the glass lightly, and a large, gray, hairy spider came forth from the hollow of a funnel-like web. And this is all the friend you have to love? said the Master, with a tenderness in his voice which made the question very significant.
Above, the brilliant sky poured down a dazzling light through the funnel-like opening walled by an almost complete circle of hills. But the circle was not quite complete.

Their nests are curious and beautiful, being formed in a long funnel-like shape, tapering below to a slender point.
A minute longer and there would have been a horrible catastrophe, and many men must have been crushed to death in the mad struggle to escape from the funnel-like gorge. The colonel he was very pale turned and spoke to the soldiers: "My children, my children, be a little patient. I have sent to see what is the matter it will only be a moment "
The mountain tops were hidden from view, and the storm rolled along their sides like the smoke of a thousand cannon. It burst from the funnel-like pass to their left, swept across the valley, and struck the travellers full abeam. Hector, the wheel dog, howled and nipped Don's heels, whose teeth gleamed white at the insult. But Yukon uttered never a sound.
It seemed like a little silver-backed piece of thin glass with a flaring funnel-like thing back of it, which he held most particularly. Though he heard the parting taunt outside he paid no attention. "You go to the deuce, whoever you are," I cried, beating on the door, to which only a coarse laugh echoed back down the passageway. "Be quiet, Walter," ordered Kennedy.
