The next morning he looked me up and told me he wanted to make a proposition to me. "What is it?" I asked. I had thought I was the one who was going to make a proposition. "I will give you one-eighth of this town site," he said. The nerve of this proposal took me off my feet. Here was a total stranger offering me one-eighth of my own town site as a reward for what I had done for him.
These results account for the enormous temperature of the Electric Arc with one horse-power; as, for instance, if one horse-power will heat twelve inches of wire to 1000 degrees Fahr., and this is concentrated to have one-quarter of the radiating surface, it would reach a temperature of 4000 degrees or sufficient to melt it; but, supposing it infusible, the further concentration to one-eighth its surface, it would reach a temperature of 16,000 degrees, and to one-thirty-second its surface, which would be about the radiating surface of the Electric Arc, it would reach 64,000 degrees Fahr.
Tonight, however, these gratifying utterances had not been received with the gratified responses to which she was accustomed: there was a different atmosphere abroad, and it was as if she were no more than one-eighth of the entire party....

You have seen flowers that closed when you touched them. You remember the Golden Poppy that closes when the sun goes down. Another plant, a variety of orchid, has a long, slender, flat stem, or tube, about one-eighth of an inch thick, with an opening at the extreme end, and a series of fine tubes where it joins the plant. Then it repeats the process until the plant is satisfied.

Serve the purée like mashed potatoes. Pour the onion and fat over it before serving. Serve hot. Drain and cook in fresh salted water till tender.
So likewise was the colour of the skin of the grandchildren the unmistakable Hawaiian colour, tinted beyond shadow of mistake by exposure to the Hawaiian sun. One-eighth and one-sixteenth Hawaiian were they, which meant that seven-eighths or fifteen-sixteenths white blood informed that skin yet failed to obliterate the modicum of golden tawny brown of Polynesia.
For their race tracks, they dug ditches about four feet apart and threw up the sod and dirt between the ditches. The whole tribe then packed the ground in the tracks hard and smooth by riding their horses up and down those tracks to pack the dirt still more firmly. These tracks were generally one and one-eighth miles long.
At the end of nine months a woman would be delivered a male child, which would be three parts man and one part god." At these words all the guests applauded, M. de Ximenes expressed his admiration of the way the question had been solved, adding, "Naturally, if the son of the woman married, his children would be seven-eighths men and one-eighth gods."
The government distributes one-eighth of a bushel to each person, everybody being obliged to wait two days to take his turn. "La Revolution," I., 208; II., 294, 205, 230. Buchez et Roux, XX., 431. The three delegates of the Convention disposed to interfere have their lives saved only on condition of announcing the rate dictated to them. Ibid., 409. Ibid., 417.
