The needles are flat and short, hardly one inch in length; they are grooved along the top and the ends are decidedly blunt; in color they are dark bluish-green on the upper side and silvery-white underneath. The bark is gray, and you will find little gummy blisters on the tree-trunk. From these the healing Canada balsam is obtained.
During some weeks in a recent summer, when what we may term "orthodox" fish was scarce, a fashionable Australian sea-side hotel was regularly supplied with young shark "gummy" by a fisherman, for whose veracity the author can vouch.
The natives who shot arrows must have come from Magungo, as none of the other districts were armed with bows. The arrows that had been shot at us, which my men had collected, were thickly poisoned with a hard gummy matter. It was now rendered certain that a snare had been laid for the massacre of Major Abdullah's party.
It was partly the terror of the unknown and the unfamiliar; it was partly the interruption to the even tenor of his life and the customary engagements of his day; and in this respect the boy had what may be called a middle-aged temperament, an intense dislike of any interference with his own ways; he had no enterprise, none of the high-hearted enjoyment of novelty, unless he was surrounded by a bulwark of familiar personalities; but partly, too, his love was all given to inanimate things; and as he drove out of the gate on one of these visits, the thought that the larches of the copse should be putting out their rosy buds, the rhododendrons thrusting out their gummy, spiky cases, the stream passing slowly through its deep pools, the bee-hive in the little birch avenue beginning to wake to life, and that he should not be there to go his accustomed rounds, and explore all the minute events of his dear domain it was this that brought out the tears afresh, with a bitter, uncomforted sense of loss and bereavement.
Stop, or yo're dead!" roared a voice from the loft on the other side the yard. "Feyther! feyther! git yo' back!" screamed Maggie, who saw it all from the window above the door. Their cries were too late! The blunderbuss went off with a roar, belching out a storm of sparks and smoke. The shot peppered the door like hail, and the whole yard seemed for a moment wrapped in flame. "Aw! oh! ma gummy!
"You are just talking," giggled Amy, clinging to Janice's arm. "I don't know what you mean." "You are going to know soon, my dear," returned Janice. "Come home with me. Your mother won't mind, will she?" "No. I'll send word by Gummy." "My, that sounds almost like swearing 'by Gummy! exclaimed Janice, her hazel eyes dancing. "And there Gummy goes. Grab him quick. Tell him you'll stay to supper."
Its position in latitude is between the 24th and 25th parallels, and its longitude between 127 degrees 30' and 128 degrees 30'. I named it the Rawlinson Range, after Sir Henry Rawlinson, President of the Royal Geographical Society of London. I found a singular moth- and fly-catching, plant in this range; it exudes a gummy substance, by which insects become attached to the leaves.
Talk's one thing; a written guarantee is another. That mortgage is writ for a year, and the year is up. "Oh!" exclaimed Gummy hotly, "I could have hit him for speaking so mean to my mother." "I don't blame you," Janice said sympathetically. "But never mind. Tell the rest." "Why, all mother could say was what your father told' her to say.
This is made as follows: 100 parts of fused zinc chloride, 85 parts of water, and 4 parts of zinc oxide are boiled together until a clear solution is obtained. This solution dissolves silk slowly in the cold, quickly if hot, and forms a thick gummy liquid. Wool, fur, and vegetable fibres are not affected by it.
We've a Swede for a clerk in the store. They write down what they want for me, and he puts up the orders. "But I know a lot of them to talk to especially the boys that work in the pickle factories I'll begin by asking them," said Gummy, with eagerness, for he wanted to help. "That will be nice of you, Gummy," Janice said. "You never do know when we might come across some news of her."
