Seeing this, the geologist deliberately reached out and scraped the dust from the nearest machine; and to the vast relief of all three, no damage was done. The dust fell straight to the floor, exposing a brilliantly polished streak of greenish-white metal. Van Emmon made another tentative brush or so at other points, with the same result. Clean, untarnished metal lay beneath all that dust.
Ripens about two weeks before Catawba. Much recommended in Ohio, where it originated, but unworthy of culture here, being a poor grower, a shy bearer and very much subject to leaf-blight. Bunch medium, compact; berry dirty greenish-white; thick skin; pulpy, and insipid. This is, in dry seasons, a really fine grape, but subject to leaf-blight and mildew in hot seasons.
It is about 8 feet thick and composed of a soft, very friable, purple-gray sandstone. Above it lies a greenish-white bed a few inches thick, followed by a stratum of a pronounced white, about 12 feet thick. This heavy stratum is composed of calcareous clay, and the green bed of a calcareous clay with a mixture of sand.
The species figured on the last page is brownish-olive on the upper surface, with numerous greenish-white round spots, darkening towards the edges. The anterior annulations of the tail are black and white, the posterior entirely black. Its mouth is transverse and paved with a band of flattened teeth calculated to crush the hard shells of the animals on which it feeds.
All night long the Martians were hammering and stirring, sleepless, indefatigable, at work upon the machines they were making ready, and ever and again a puff of greenish-white smoke whirled up to the starlit sky. About eleven a company of soldiers came through Horsell, and deployed along the edge of the common to form a cordon.
This is a showy, small-flowered species, the flowers being campanulate, greenish-white within and purplish without. C. Viorna coccinea is not yet well known, but is one of the prettiest of the small-flowered section. The flowers, which are leathery as in the species, are of a beautiful vermilion on the outside and yellow within. C. VITALBA. Lady's Bower, or Old Man's Beard.
This message had hardly reached Goose Creek when the China boy came running into the telegraph office. His eyes were staring, and his face was greenish-white with fright. "Indians!" he exclaimed, running to Bucks's side and dashing back again to the west window. Bucks sprang to his feet. "Where?" Lee Ong pointed to the northern sand-hills.
But when it came to the point she found she could not do so. "Yes," she said dully. "I heard a word here and there. There's been another murder, hasn't there?" "Two other murders," he said soberly. "Two? That's worse news!" She turned so pale a sallow greenish-white that Bunting thought she was again going queer. "Ellen?" he said warningly, "Ellen, now do have a care!
Restless as Susanna was, she bent over the gunwale, until her hair almost dipped in her own image in the water, to look through the transparent sea at the fish, which, at a depth of fifteen or twenty fathoms, glided in and out among the seaweed over the greenish-white bottom, and crowded round the lines with which the grown-up people with their double tackle often drew up two fish at once.
As soon as Benjamin Bat saw the greenish-white gleam he was so afraid of getting burned not knowing that Freddie's light could not harm him he was so afraid that he swerved sharply to one side and zigzagged about the yard for a few seconds. But he soon returned to speak to Freddie Firefly once more. "You made a good beginning," he told Freddie. "But you turned your light on again too quickly.
