This course of granite is grooved to receive the flange of the lower plates of the tower, from which lightning-conductors are to be continued to the sea. The tower is of course itself a lightning-conductor of the best kind.
What met my startled gaze was an image of some nameless horror of features grooved, and battered, and shapeless, as if they had been torn by a wild beast. I gave a little indrawn gasp and turned about. There stood the Major, plainly himself, with a pleasant smile on his face. "What's up?" said he.
The course of the sagittal suture is grooved, and above the angle of the occipital bone the parietals are depressed. The length of the skull from the nasal process of the frontal over the vertex to the superior semicircular lines of the occipital measures...303 = 12.0". Circumference over the orbital ridges and the superior semicircular lines of the occipital...590 = 23.37" or 23".
For in 1498, when Buonarotti was at his prime, Raphael, fifteen years old, had just taken his seat at the paternal easel, and the scenes of the Lusiad were in progress, "barrels were first grooved at Venice." Who grooved them we are not told. The name of that artist has not survived, though we still remember his contemporary townsman, Titian.
Pigeons were here in great numbers, and Wylie tried several times with the rifle to shoot them, but only killed one, the grooved barrel not being adapted for throwing shot with effect. At midnight we arose and moved onwards, following along the beach.
The rock islets that rise here and there, forming so marked a feature of the harbor, are unchanged roches moutonnees, and the shores are grooved, scratched, and rounded, and in every way as glacial in all their characteristics as those of a newborn glacial lake.
The floor timbers fitted one into another and were joined by stout metal clamps fastened together by a bolt; next the men set the grooved slides, down which the knife must fall, into holes cut for the purpose in the middle of the floor. The guillotine now raised its awful arms to the sky. Hitherto Deibler had merely watched his men at work. Now he took a hand himself.
Old people are a kind of monsters to little folks; mild manifestations of the terrible, it may be, but still, with their white locks and ridged and grooved features, which those horrid little eyes exhaust of their details, like so many microscopes not exactly what human beings ought to be.
In one specimen, which is especially notable, two incisor teeth are replaced by a single tooth from a calf. This was grooved in such a way as to make it seem like two separate teeth. Guerini suggests a very interesting and quite unexpected source for this. While examining the specimen he wondered where the old Etruscan dentist had obtained a calf's tooth without a trace of wear on it.
Remington, Winchester and the rest will retire in favor of new contrivers, devoted, like them, to the simple task of facilitating the flight of the leaden arrow with its grooved feather in steel or iron. With them will rise and fall a parallel series of names on a broader and more sonorous field the field of heavy artillery, the ponderous Wiard being full brother to the liliputian Sharpe.
