To cross the danger zone, in fact, by night and overthrow the enemy in the grey dawn. But Hunter-Weston says that so many regimental officers have been lost he fears for the Company leading at night: for that, most searching of military tests, nothing but the best will do.
Thus, as an average of 112 separate tests covering four different years, on the Southern Illinois experiment field on worn, thin land, at Fairfield, the use of 600 pounds an acre of kainit once in four years increased the yield of corn by 10.7 bushels where no organic manure was used, and by only 1.7 bushels when applied with eight tons of farm manure.

Jimmie, so far as it was possible to make tests with him, also used his left hand, but it should be said that the results are unsatisfactory because he was at the time extremely pugnacious and paid attention to the experimenter rather than to the food. Scotty, in the first series of ten trials, used his right hand eight times, his left twice.
This examination finished, put the test-paper in contact with distilled water, to be afterwards removed and tried by appropriate tests to discover the nature of the alkali or acid present. Silver nitrate is also used to discover whether the paper has been washed with chlorine or chlorites. A paper in that way becomes acid.
Alexander chuckled at Kennon's blank expression. "I see you have had no experience with screening contracts." "I haven't," Kennon admitted. "On Beta the tests are formal. The Medico-Psych Division supervises them." "Different worlds, different methods," Alexander observed. "But they're all directed toward the same goal. Here we aren't so civilized.

Skale was tempting the Olympian powers to crush him. It was about this time, however, as has been seen from a slight incident in the last chapter, that a change began to steal, at first imperceptibly, then obviously, over their relations together. Spinrobin had been in the house three weeks far longer, no doubt, than any of the other candidates. There only remained now the final big tests.
Few social tests for analyzing female human nature can be more safely relied on than that which the moral investigator may easily apply, by observing how a woman conducts herself towards a man who shows symptoms of confusion on approaching her for the first time. If she has nothing at all in her, she awkwardly forgets the advantage of her sex, and grows more confused than he is.
But even the more intelligent Conservative drew the line at such a measure. Canning, Huskisson, and even Peel might accept the views of the Utilitarians in regard to foreign policy, to law reform, to free trade, or the removal of religious tests, declaring only that they were obeying 'experience' instead of logic, and might therefore go just as far as they pleased.
