Again, a part of the pure air of the atmosphere is continually consumed in combustion and respiration; living vegetables emit this principle during their growth; nothing appears more accidental than the proportion of vegetable to animal life on the surface of the earth, yet they are perfectly equivalent, and the balance of the sexes, like the constitution of the atmosphere, depends upon the principles of an unerring intelligence.
Upon one of his excursions with net and can, Doctor Bolter had succeeded in capturing several of the beautiful little chaetadons, or shooting-fish; tiny little broad fellows, beautifully banded, whose peculiarity was the adroitness with which they would lie in wait for any unfortunate fly that settled on the edge of an aquatic leaf, and then fire or rather, water off at it a tiny globule, with such unerring aim, that the insect was generally brought down into the water and swallowed.
His last great act was to establish in 1546 'The Office of the Admiralty and Marine Affairs. During the thirty-seven years between his accession and the creation of this Navy Board the pregnant change was made. 'King Henry loved a man. He had an unerring eye for choosing the right leaders.

Hand-in-hand they approached, and entering the lodge, said the one word, 'Come. "The great Squamish chief outstretched his arms towards them, then towards the laughing river, then towards the mountains. "'Welcome, my sons! he said.

Let me never see thou knowest it. Forget it! I will remember it, to die before thy death." Macaulay, in his unerring effectiveness, uses Johnson's short sight for an added affront to Mrs. Johnson.
Many of the houses were illuminated, that by the light blazing from the windows, the bullet might be thrown with precision, and that the dagger might strike an unerring blow. Agitation and alarm pervaded the vast metropolis. The Catholics were rejoicing that the hour of vengeance had arrived. The Protestants gazed upon the portentous gatherings of this storm in utter bewilderment.
It was now so dark that there was no sign of the boat; but Wolf Larsen held back through the frightful turmoil as if guided by unerring instinct.
