Nature of the sites inhabited Can live long under water Nocturnal Wander about at night Often lie close to the mouths of their burrows, and are thus destroyed in large numbers by birds Structure Do not possess eyes, but can distinguish between light and darkness Retreat rapidly when brightly illuminated, not by a reflex action Power of attention Sensitive to heat and cold Completely deaf Sensitive to vibrations and to touch Feeble power of smell Taste Mental qualities Nature of food Omnivorous Digestion Leaves before being swallowed, moistened with a fluid of the nature of the pancreatic secretion Extra-stomachal digestion Calciferous glands, structure of Calcareous concretions formed in the anterior pair of glands The calcareous matter primarily an excretion, but secondarily serves to neutralise the acids generated during the digestive process.
Time and Space are the limits which define the terrestrial life as distinct from the celestial. But man is, primarily, a celestial being. He is, first of all, a spirit, belonging to the spiritual world, and only secondarily and temporarily a denizen of earth. He can regain, to some extent, at least, his celestial faculties. For centuries he has accepted imprisonment in the senses.
Morocco is a decadent empire, it is true: primarily, because the two races to whom the country belongs live, and have always lived from time immemorial, under a tribal system; and secondarily, because those same races, Arab and Berber, hate one another with a racial hatred.
So Being grows under all sorts of resistances in this world of the many, and, from compromise to compromise, only gets organized gradually into what may be called secondarily rational shape. We approach the wishing-cap type of organization only in a few departments of life. We want water and we turn a faucet. We want a kodak-picture and we press a button. We want information and we telephone.
The mischief may be primary, as when sustained by a definite number of individuals; or secondary, by extending over a multitude of unassignable individuals. The evil in this last case may be either actual pain, or danger, which is the chance of pain. Thus, a successful robbery affects, primarily, a number of assignable persons, and secondarily, all persons in a like situation of risk.
As Bishop of Jerusalem he presided specially over the Jewish Christian Church, and his epistle is addressed "to the twelve tribes which are scattered abroad," i.e., to the Jews of the Dispersion, primarily, no doubt, to the Christian Jews, but also secondarily and by way of warning to the unconverted Jews. James was "zealous of the law."
He looked to it as the means of doing essential service to the church of which he was an ordained member, and, secondarily, as the road to reputation and well-merited advancement. And in five minutes the hand of one angry boy had robbed him of the fruit of all his hopes.
Retulisse==repaid, discharged their obligations to those who gave them birth. Squalor. This word primarily denotes roughness; secondarily and usually filth: here the deformity of unshorn hair and beard. Insuper, i.e. besides the long hair and beard. The proper position of insuper is, as here, between the adj. and subs., cf. 34: immensos insuper lacus; see also insuper, 12. Absolvat.
But beware, I say again, that you do not run so far in your voluntary works, that ye do quite forget your necessary works of mercy, which you are bound to keep: you must have ever a good respect unto the best and worthiest works toward God to be done first and with more efficacy, and the other to be done secondarily.
Morrow and others believed that hygienic teaching would secondarily react on sexual morality; but the original aim of the Society of Sanitary and Moral Prophylaxis was to limit the spread of venereal disease by sanitary, moral, and legal means.
