Look here, you young philosopher over there, do you like candy? That Boy. You bet! Give me a stick and see if I don't. And can you tell me why you like candy? That Boy. Because I do. There, now, that is the whole matter in a nutshell. Why do your teeth like crackling crust, and your organs of taste like spongy crumb, and your digestive contrivances take kindly to bread rather than toadstools
For, whilst the horn of the rhinoceros is merely a dermal production, a conglomeration of hairs cemented into one dense mass as hard as bone, and answering the purpose of a defensive weapon, besides being used for digging up the roots on which the animal lives; the horn of the ceratophora is formed of a soft, spongy substance, coated by the rostral shield, which is produced into a kind of sheath.
Since the ground was undermined by marsh, the sheds had to be built on piles driven six feet into the spongy soil. There was only one pile driver, which resembled a cross-section of a lamp post, and was worked by a fatigue party of wild-haired Indian troops from Afghanistan regions.
Special examination should be directed toward each of these points in revising any lot of books returned from a binder. Look at each book with regard to: Flexibility in opening. Evenness of the cover, which should lie flat and smooth each edge being just parallel with the others throughout. Compactness see that the volumes are thoroughly pressed solid, and not loose or spongy.
To the left lay the long, long line of dark, coarse-sanded beach, upon which the surf broke with violence as the waves sped shoreward from the Great Barrier Reef, five leagues away. The track along which the man was riding was soft and spongy sand, permeated with crab-holes; and at last, taking pity on his labouring horse, he dismounted, and led him.
Closer in beneath the bank over which she looked men were piling rocks on the spongy area, as they had been for weeks as they were a year ago under O'Connor as they might be forever, unless luck favoured her father. To the inexperienced eye the scene was ceaseless activity, but Tressa had long since learned the skill with which the bohunk conceals his laziness.
God chose to soak the earth on that day and the formidable artillery that had swept the plateau of Austerlitz, the vales of Marengo, the cemetery of Eylau, was rendered useless for the time being because up in the inscrutable kingdom of the sky a cloud had chosen to burst or had burst by the will of God and water soaked the soft, spongy soil of Belgium and the wheels of artillery wagons sank axle-deep in the mud.
Thus, with the marvelous episcopal lettering used in the old house of Le Clere, he had Baudelaire's works printed in a large format recalling that of ancient missals, on a very light and spongy Japan paper, soft as elder pith and imperceptibly tinted with a light rose hue through its milky white.
Take out, roll in sifted flour, patting lightly as you roll, then shaking free of loose flour. Have deep fat, very hot it must be deep enough to swim the crabs. Drop them in gently, fry to a delicate brown, skim out, drain on hot spongy paper, and serve garnished with fried parsley, and sliced lemon. Serve with Tartare sauce.
In this way the spongy mass of dead plants remains free from earthy grains, while the water and the shade of the thick forest of trees prevent the leaves, stems, etc., from being decomposed by the air and sun.
