    149

    In a general way this greater complexity may be said to consist (I) in the restriction of regular absorption of water to those parts of the plant-body embedded in the soil, (2) in the evaporation of water from the parts exposed to the air (transpiration).

    170

    It is essential that the paper covering be loose, so as to ensure that each wire is enclosed in a coating not of paper only, but also of air; the wires in fact are really insulated from each other by the dry air, the loose paper acting merely as a separator to prevent them from coming into contact.

    171

    It is formed when sulphur is burned in air or in oxygen, or when many metallic sulphides are roasted.

    172

    It is permanent in dry air, but in the finely divided state it rapidly combines with oxygen, the compact metal requiring a strong heating to bring about this combination.

    Now, as the materials which plants absorb are carbon dioxide from the air, and various inorganic compounds from the soil, together with water, it is clear that if this view is correct, vegetable protoplasm must be fed in a very different way from animal, and on very different materials.

    209

    On repeating the experiment when the two vessels were placed in different calorimeters, it was found that heat was absorbed by the vessel containing the compressed air, while an equal quantity of heat was produced in the calorimeter containing the exhausted vessel.

    One contained air at a pressure of 22 atmospheres, while the other was exhausted.

    211

    Otherwise, it looked the way she left it, except that the air conditioning was off.

    212

    Pierre had the air of a man preoccupied with considerations which had no connection with the matter in hand.

    213

    Plant life, utilizing solar light to combine the inorganic elements of water, soil and air into living substance, is the basis of all animal life.

    214

    Prince Vasili entered the room with the air of a happy conqueror who has attained the object of his desires.

    215

    Purple lightening rippled in the air nearby.

    216

    Purple magic seized him, bound him, and lifted him into the air.

    217

    Red fog filled the air around him.

    218

    Rhyn left the cell block to Toby's protests and walked with Gabe through the antechamber and into the hallway on the other side.  Gabe's gaze was dark, his air brooding.  Rhyn opened a portal, and they crossed through to Gabe's cabin in the underworld.

    219

    Rhyn rose and flipped the dagger he held in the air, catching it effortlessly.

    220

    Rhyn stopped and knelt, placing his hands to the ground.  Kris crossed his arms.  A blast of energized air swept over him.  Rhyn sat back.

    221

    Screw adjustments are provided for closing or opening the air gap between the electromagnets and armatures, for raising or lowering the siphon, and for adjusting the point of the siphon to the centre or side of the paper strip. The received signals are recorded on the paper strip in an undulating continuous line of ink, and are distinguished by the length of deviation from zero.

    222

    Sean's body collapsed beneath the blanket, and the ocean's wind whipped the cloth into the air.

    223

    Shadows crawled over the world around her, and the tension in the air made it hard to breathe.

    224

    She admired his newfound air of command but couldn't help resenting him for having a second chance she'd never get.

    225

    She breathed deeply of the night air, embarrassed to feel the tears on her face.

    226

    She breathed in the ocean air.

    227

    She breathed the chilled air to clear her thoughts.

    228

    She brought her elbow around into his ribs and the air escaped his lungs in a startled groan of protest.

    229

    She called forth a portal, and what looked like a cave opened in the air before them.

    230

    She fanned the air with her hand.

    231

    She fell, gasping for air.

    232

    She felt like she stood at the door of a plane fifteen thousand feet in the air getting ready to skydive, only she didn't remember packing a parachute.

    233

    She felt the air around him shift, darken.

    234

    She forced herself to notice how dark the sky was, the rich scent of earth in the air, the tickle of the pine needles that brushed her skin.

    235

    She gasped in air, heart soaring.

    236

    She gasped in cold air.

    237

    She had removed the sides of the shelter a few weeks ago for the summer so they would have fresh air and a breeze as well.

    238

    She had the air of one who has suddenly lost faith in the whole human race.

    239

    She heard the door to the bedroom close and retreated from the chilly spring air back into her room.

    240

    She hit the ground like a sack of grain and scrambled away from him, gasping for air and rubbing her neck.

    241

    She is able not only to distinguish with great accuracy the different undulations of the air and the vibrations of the floor made by various sounds and motions, and to recognize her friends and acquaintances the instant she touches their hands or clothing, but she also perceives the state of mind of those around her.

    242

    She needed him more than she needed air to breath.

    243

    She nodded, sucking in air.

    244

    She paused, sucking in a deep breath, and then threw her hands in the air in defeat.

    245

    She placed the platter in front of Elisabeth, whose nose already sniffed the air.

    246

    She pushed away from him and drug in deeply of the cold night air.

    247

    She pushed away from him, gasping for air.

    248

    She rested her cheek against his, and they breathed the same air, his steady and hers erratic.

    249

    She rose from her corner and strode to Jenn, the air around her filled with glitter.

    250

    She said in a rush of air.

    251

    She screamed until she was hoarse, shaking in the chilled air.

    252

    She shook out her arms and stretched, cold in the early morning air.

    253

    She slung her head back, filling her lungs with air.

    254

    She smelled the ocean on the air and was surprised to see the strange stone cottage perched in the middle of a field hedged by a stone wall.

    255

    She stared at a helicopter as it lifted nimbly into the air, imagining Mr. Tim and other politicians aboard it.

    256

    She stepped back, trying to take the electricity out of the air with a little humor.

    257

    She stopped and sniffed the air, then gaped at his glass.

    258

    She sucked in a breath of the cold air and let it out slowly.

    259

    She swept a hand through the air.

    260

    She threw her hands in the air.

    261

    She threw herself into the snow, watching the lightning slice the air where she'd been.

    262

    She took a deep breath - as much to convince herself it was still possible as for need of air.

    263

    She tugged at each front foot until the goat was on her knees, her hind end in the air.

    264

    She turned and ran, her laughter muffled in the waterlogged air.

    265

    She turned slowly, propelled by a tender breeze from the cold night air that filled the room.

    266

    She was tense again, her air troubled.

    267

    She wasn't able to muster any concern, not with the heaviness of the air around her.

    268

    She'd left them partially open, and the morning air was cold as it swept through her room.

    269

    Simon did not finish, for on the still air he had distinctly caught the music of the hunt with only two or three hounds giving tongue.

    270

    Sitting on the edge of the porch, she took deep breaths of the fresh air.

    271

    Sniffing the air, the wolf turned to him, and then trotted to the bars.

    272

    So, if Lon said something stupid to you, you could toss him into the air and leave him there until he agreed to treat you with an ounce of respect.

    273

    So, too, mind consists but of extremely fine particles of matter, and dissolves into air when the body dies.

    274

    Some fly through the air, others burrow in the earth, while several families have become fully adapted to life in fresh water.

    275

    Suddenly his face assumed a subtle expression, he shrugged his shoulders with an air of perplexity.

    276

    Suddenly, her bracing arm hit air.

    277

    Sure, they needed to clear the air about the inheritance issue, but that wasn't enough for Carmen.

    278

    That of Hydrophilus is attached to a floating leaf, and is provided with a hollow, tapering process, which projects above the surface and presumably conveys air to the enclosed eggs.

    279

    The air around her crackled, Jonny's stormy power and the Other's cold lightening making her skin crawl.

    280

    The air around her seized her and shoved her to her knees.

    281

    The air around her shimmered with subtle, calm power that thrilled him.

    282

    The air around him hummed with energy and command.

    283

    The air around him rippled, reminding her he was as powerful as Damian.

    284

    The air around him was even harder to breathe.

    285

    The air around him was strangely still, the heat of a body unlike any she'd ever seen before reminding her she hadn't dated in four years.

    286

    The air around Jenn had stilled, and she searched her gaze.

    287

    The air bent around him as his power unfurled in a red haze.

    288

    The air between them shimmered with his body heat and her magic, and he didn't flinch away like normal people did.

    289

    The air between them was as calm and peaceful as it was raging around them.

    290

    The air between them was electric, her breathing uneven.

    291

    The air conditioning was high enough to make her shiver, the bright interior settling her fear of walking into some crazy person's house.

    292

    The air felt a little heavier around her as he spoke, compelling her attention to him.

    293

    The air funneling up from the snow-covered hollows was frigid and the little doeling was dying of hypothermia.

    294

    The air grew more charged, humming with magic from god and obelisk.

    295

    The air is filled with the bleating of calves and sheep, and the hustling of oxen, as if a pastoral valley were going by.

    296

    The air of the bathing chamber was rendered moist and heavy by the awaiting bath.

    297

    The air of the chamber stilled and grew heavy, as if it meant to suffocate him.

    298

    The air of the dark bedroom smelled of sex and blood.

    299

    The air stung my cheeks like fire.

    300

    The air trembled with magic.

    301

    The air was balmy, with a tang of the sea in it.

    302

    The air was charged by the activated electromagnetic field surrounding the compound.

    303

    The air was chilled, still and damp, like she imagined a castle dungeon would feel.

    304

    The air was chilly and still.

    305

    The air was chilly, but she left the window open to the street sounds and the cold, wanting to feel normal.

    306

    The air was clear and dry, the sand dotted with small shrubs.

    307

    The air was cold, brisk, the snowflakes falling faster.

    308

    The air was cool and clear, as crisp as a fall day.

    309

    The air was crisp and fresh, the night sky clear.

    310

    The air was filled with marijuana smoke and the scent of bodies sweating as people danced, drank or huddled with friends.

    311

    The air was filled with the smell of sulfur and the sound of gunfire.

    312

    The air was heavy and fragrant, the wet, solid sand near the ocean welcome after her initial attempt to keep up in the sugary sand higher up the beach.

    313

    The air was heavy and her attention was drawn to the life-like statues.

    314

    The air was hot and dry, the two suns too dim to shed much light into the black fortress.

    315

    The air was hot and heavy and promised to become unbearable quickly.

    316

    The air was hot and heavy but the small backyard setting remained pleas­ant.

    317

    The air was miserably hot.

    318

    The air was still and the heat stifling.

    319

    The air was tinged with the scent of burning wood and melted metals, sulfur, and the facility's damp mustiness.

    320

    The air was very still.

    321

    The amount of watery vapour in the air passing through a stoma has no effect upon it, as the surfaces of the guard cells abutting on the air chamber are strongly cuticularized, and therefore impermeable.

    322

    The ashes had long since stopped burning, and the air was still filled with magic.

    323

    The beautiful, warm air was peculiarly fragrant, and I noticed it got cooler and fresher as we went on.

    324

    The beetles are ovoid in shape, with smooth contours, and the elytra fit over the edges of the abdomen so as to enclose a supply of air, available for use when the insect remains under water.

    325

    The best form of open fireplace is the ventilating stove, in which fresh air is passed around the back and sides of the stove before being admitted through convenient openings into the room.

    326

    The best form of stove is that with which perfect combustion is most nearly attained, and to which a pan of water is affixed to supply a desirable humidity to the air, the gas having the effect of drying the atmosphere.

    327

    The Black God's power swelled, stifling the air around them.

    328

    The broad arches allowed fresh air and the clear fiberglass roof let the sunshine in while keeping the rain out.

    329

    The Caribbean air was heavy and her body was soon covered with sweat.

    330

    The Caribbean air was heavy, the ocean chill warmer than the weather at the castle.

    331

    The cells of hairs may have living contents or they may simply contain air.

    332

    The cells of the staminal hairs of Tradescantia air ginica contain a large sap-cavity across which run, in.

    333

    The Charruas are generally classified as a yellow-skinned race, of the same family as the Pampa Indians; but they are also represented as tanned almost black by the sun and air, without any admixture of red or yellow in their complexions.

    334

    The chief complaint which Europeans make concerning it is the extreme humidity, which causes the heat to be more oppressive than is the case where the air is dry.

    335

    The cold, still air sank into her clothing and skin.

    336

    The conception of the development of the plan of the earth from the first of cooling of the surface of the planet throughout the long geological periods, the guiding power of environment on the circulation of water and of air, on the distribution of plants and animals, and finally on the movements of man, give to geography a philosophical dignity and a scientific completeness whici it never previously possessed.

    337

    The condenser method of making oscillations is analogous to the production of air vibrations by twanging a harp string at short intervals.

    338

    The cool forest shade was soon defeated by the lack of air movement.

    339

    The cool mountain air made her shiver.

    340

    The Council meeting was a bust, and there was more tension in the air than he could understand.

    341

    The crisp morning air wasn't necessary for the purpose of waking her up.

    342

    The dairy door swung open with a blast of cold air and Alex paused in the doorway.

    343

    The dark product obtained is washed with water, hydrochloric acid and hydrofluoric acid, and finally calcined again with the oxide or with borax, being protected from air during the operation by a layer of charcoal.

    344

    The dawn brought cool air and dense fog.

    345

    The day was magnificent and the cool morning air as sharp as a knife.

    346

    The deviation is of importance in the movement of air, of ocean currents, and to some extent of rivers.3 In popular usage the words " physical geography " have come to mean geography viewed from a particular standpoint rather than any special department of the subject.

    347

    The difference of pressure between the outside air and the smoke-box gases may be measured by the difference of the water levels in the limbs of a U tube, one limb being in communication with the smokebox, the other with the atmosphere.

    348

    The dissemination of plant parasites is favored by many circumstances not always obvious, whence an air of mystery regarding epidemics was easily created in earlier times.

    349

    The fed building smoldered before him, the scent of metal and burning plastic thick in the air.

    350

    The fixing of stoves of this kind entails the laying of pipes or ducts from the open to convey fresh air to the back of the stove.

    351

    The foul air, to which he had already begun to get used in the corridor, was still stronger here.

    352

    The fresh morning air blew gently in my face, as if to welcome me, and be my merry playmate, and the sun looked at me with a warm and tender smile.

    353

    The frigid air would simply sneak under the house and ooze up through the cracks in the floor.

    354

    The great bird was high in the air and flying towards the far-off mountains with all his money.

    355

    The great turgidity which is thus caused exerts a considerable hydrostatic pressure on the stele of the root, the vessels of the wood of which are sometimes filled with water, but at other times contain air, and this often under a pressure less than the ordinary atmospheric pressure.

    356

    The ground was rocky beneath her hands and knees, the air chilled.

    357

    The heavy Caribbean air of the Sanctuary was warm and fragrant with the scent of the sea.

    358

    The heavy Caribbean air rustled the pages of the Oracle's book.

    359

    The hum in the air became a whine almost too loud to bear.

    360

    The idea was that variations of the primary current would create electromotive force in the secondary circuit which would act through the air condenser formed by the two plates.

    361

    The ilex, also known as the "holm oak" from its resemblance to the holly, abounds in all the Mediterranean countries, showing a partiality for the sea air.

    362

    The large man gasped for air, his eye swollen already.

    363

    The larvae of the beautiful, elongate, metallic Donaciae live in the roots and stems of aquatic plants, obtaining thence both food and air.

    364

    The last thing she wanted to do was renew their argument of the night before, but they needed to clear the air about something.

    365

    The latter are retained to warm the air at lower levels, while it remains cold at higher.

    366

    The latter ultimately reaches the external air by diffusion through the stomata, whose dimensions vary in proportion as the amount of water in the epidermal cells becomes greater or less.

    367

    The lights nearest him dimmed while the air around him shimmered, as if he was a mirage.

    368

    The live oak is one of the most valuable timber trees of the genus, the wood being extremely durable, both exposed to air and under water; heavy and closegrained, it is perhaps the best of the American oaks for shipbuilding, and is invaluable for water-wheels and mill-work.

    369

    The loss of the dissipation body due to the natural ionization of the air is first allowed for.

    370

    The magic in the air crackled around them even from the distance.

    371

    The man took a deep breath of the hot and salty night air and firmly closed the door marked Room 22.

    372

    The man's air cooled even further, and the men in the chamber tensed.

    373

    The metal is quite permanent in dry air, but in moist air it becomes coated with a superficial layer of the oxide; it burns on heating to redness, forming a brown coloured oxide; and is readily soluble in mineral acids with formation of the corresponding salts.

    374

    The metal lair was much cooler than the air above ground, and water stained the walls on one side of the tunnel.

    375

    The metallic derivatives (phenolates, phenates or carbolates) of the alkali metals are obtained by dissolving phenol in a solution of a caustic alkali, in the absence of air.

    376

    The method in Great Britain is almost entirely confined to places of public assembly, but in Warm air FIG.

    377

    The mine tunnel narrowed and the pair was forced to hunch down under the low ceiling that closed in the fetid air around them like a soaked and musty blanket.

    378

    The moons hung well above the horizon, and the desert air was chilly enough for her to see her breath.

    379

    The morning sun was gentle, the air missing the heavy ocean humidity.

    380

    The night air of spring was chilly in the mountains.

    381

    The night air smelled of honeysuckle and pulsed with the sound of crickets.

    382

    The night air was chilly on her bare arms and she shivered involuntarily, annoyed at herself because it looked like an obvious ploy.

    383

    The night air was crisp and cool and laden by the scents of the ocean.

    384

    The night air was so charged with electricity, that she could feel the hair rising on the back of her neck.

    385

    The ocean air was fragrant and heavy, and moonlight pierced the forest canopy in patches.

    386

    The ocean was hidden beneath the fog and the air chilled, so she walked fast until she warmed up.

    387

    The only pathways for the gases which thus pass between the cells of the mesophyll and the outside air are the stomata.

    388

    The oppressiveness of the air around her faded, leaving her confused as to what they'd been talking about.

    389

    The other is that the vessels are not empty, but that the water travels in their cavities, which contain columns of water in the course of which are large bubbles of air.

    390

    The Other raised a hand, and Jenn dived to the ground as lightning ripped through the air towards her.

    391

    The pieces are carefully heated with exclusion of air and then compressed into a uniform mass by intense hydraulic pressure; the softened amber being forced through holes in a metal plate.

    392

    The power swirling in the air around her grew as she neared Damian's door, and she was reminded of the tension in the air before a thunderstorm.

    393

    The primordial air is conceived as animated.

    394

    The refractivity of helium is 0.1238 (air =1).

    395

    The rich cinnamon-vanilla scent of the bath bubbles filled the air, reminding her of the candle she'd bought at the farmers market the day her life went to hell.

    396

    The room smelled of stale air and mold.

    397

    The scent of pine and blooming flowers was thick in the air.

    398

    The scent of sea was in the air, a rough circle of lighter darkness before her.

    399

    The scents of food from street vendors and car exhaust filled the air outside the quiet hospital grounds.

    400

    The smell of blood is in the air.

    401

    The sound of her hand hitting his face echoed in the still air.

    402

    The sounds and scents of battle were thick in the air, from clanging of metal to cries of the injured to the smell of heated bodies.

    403

    The spring air was heavy and humid already in Atlanta; it felt like summer.

    404

    The steam is introduced into the pipes at about the pressure of the atmosphere, and is sucked through the system by means of a vacuum pump, which at the same operation frees the pipes from air and from condensation water.

    405

    The still air became more charged the closer they got to the center of the storm, the sky darker.

    406

    The stomata serve for all gaseous interchange between the plant and the surrounding air.

    407

    The stones were dark, the air musty, the ceiling low.

    408

    The sun and the air are God's free gifts to all we say, but are they so?

    409

    The sun overhead was blinding, the air light but hot.

    410

    The sun sat low on the horizon, and the morning air was still and filled with the scent of fire and death.

    411

    The sun was only just appearing from behind the clouds, the air was fresh and dewy.

    412

    The tattooed immortal with cocoa skin sat forward, his magic vibrating in the air around him.

    413

    The tenant of the air, it seemed related to the earth but by an egg hatched some time in the crevice of a crag;--or was its native nest made in the angle of a cloud, woven of the rainbow's trimmings and the sunset sky, and lined with some soft midsummer haze caught up from earth?

    414

    The throaty bark filled the air again and she rolled out of bed into the cold morning.

    415

    The town, built of grey granite, presents a handsome appearance, and being delightfully situated in the midst of the most beautiful pine and birch woods in Scotland, with pure air and a bracing climate, is an attractive resort.

    416

    The trails appeared muddy even from the distance and the air smelled of snow.

    417

    The Traveling was quick and transported them from the quiet, dry heat of Texas to the heavy, warm ocean air.

    418

    The true mushroom itself is to a great extent a dung-borne species, therefore mushroom-beds are always liable to an invasion from other dung-borne forms. The spores of all fungi are constantly floating about in the air, and when the spores of dung-infesting species alight on a mushroom-bed they find a nidus already prepared that exactly suits them; and if the spawn of the new-comer becomes more profuse than that of the mushroom the stranger takes up his position at the expense of the mushroom.

    419

    The tube is then exhausted of its air, and attached to a bone or glass rod as a holder.

    420

    The two pedaled together most of the afternoon, enjoying the pine-scented air, the cool breeze that hugged the base of the mountains and the yellow sunshine of a perfect spring day.

    421

    The two spoke, and he felt Jenn's magic in the air as she exerted what control she could over Jonny.

    422

    The unit to which they are ordinarily referred is I electrostatic unit of electricity per cubic metre of air.

    423

    The use of automatic couplers for freight cars throughout the United States, introduced in 1893-1900, greatly reduced the number of deaths and injuries in coupling, and the use of air brakes on freight cars, now universal, has reduced the risk to the men by making it less necessary for them to ride on the roofs of high box-cars, while at the same time it has made it possible to run long trains with fewer men; but except in these two features the freight service in America continues to be a dangerous occupation.

    424

    The usual suggestion, that the warm air contained within them assists the bird in flight, balloon-like, is absurd.

    425

    The vamp snatched her out of the air and flung her to Jule.

    426

    The vamp whose neck he held had a look of horror on its face, and the air around them buzzed with magic.

    427

    The ventral portion of the neck is formed by the strong crista inferior, on the median side of which is the deep fosses subtrochanterica by which air sacs enter the humerus.

    428

    The vibration of the air as the organ notes swelled made her sway in answer.

    429

    The viscosity is 96 (air =I).

    430

    The weather is fine, and the air is full of the scent of strawberries.

    431

    The whole air reeked with smoke.

    432

    The whole process is exactly analogous to the operation by which a violin string or organ pipe creates an air or sound wave.

    433

    The wooden door and whitewashed walls --along with the open window above the bed allowing in balmy air --soon brought to mind a more tropical place.

    434

    Then she joined the fun, leaping and lashing her feet into the air as she twisted her belly toward the sun.

    435

    There is, no doubt, a direct interchange of heat between the plant and the air, which in many cases results in a gain of heat by the plant.

    436

    There was a chill in the early day air as Dean drove the topless Jeep north through town as Ouray was waking up.

    437

    There was a gentle air around the woman, and her large brown eyes lacked the rigid stoniness of her husband's.

    438

    There was no humidity, an ideal temperature and enough of a breeze to perfume the air with the zillion flowers recently wakened after a tough winter or per­haps just planted to welcome the approaching summer season.

    439

    Therefore in a room with an open fire the air is, as a rule, less heated than the walls.

    440

    These adaptations tend to lessen the amount of transpiration by protecting the stomata from the movements of the air.

    441

    These communicate their energy to the surrounding air, and this energy is conveyed away in the form of air waves.

    442

    These plastids are especially charged with the duty of manufacturing carbohydrates from the carbon dioxide which the air contains, and which is absorbed from it after it has entered the intercellular passages and has so reached the cells containing the plastids.

    443

    They are flattened oval in form, circling with gliding motion over the surface film of the water, and occasionally diving, when they carry down with them a bubble of air.

    444

    They are very thin-walled membranes, very poor in blood-vessels, formed by the bulged-out pleural or peritoneal covering of the lungs, through the parabronchial tubes of which they are filled with air.

    445

    They are widely distributed, but are particularly abundant in certain tropical climates where active root absorption goes on while the air is nearly saturated with water vapour.

    446

    They assembled in their counties, and by the time Dozsa had drilled them into some sort of discipline and self-confidence, they began to air the grievances of their class.

    447

    They believed that there were in the beginning no heavenly bodies, air or earth, only water everywhere, over which at first hovered a formless Supreme Being called Pha.

    448

    They should always be fitted with a pan of water to supply the necessary humidity to the warmed air, and a flue to carry off any disagreeable fumes.

    449

    They stepped outside for a breath of fresh air to wait.

    450

    They were both quiet for a few moments, breathing in the cool night air before Dean spoke.

    451

    This elevated conductor is now called the antenna, aerial wire, or air wire.

    452

    This idea of the air as the original principle and source of life and intelligence is much more clearly expressed by a later writer, Diogenes of Apollonia.

    453

    This is not by the supply of food alone, but also by the withdrawal of carbonic acid from the atmosphere, by which vegetation maintains the composition of the air in a state fit for the support of animal life.

    454

    This is the only species which can be cultivated in the open air in Britain.

    455

    This lacunar system not only enables the cells of the cortex itself to respire, but also forms channels through whicF air can pass to the deeper lying tissues.

    456

    This large quantity of air is forced through the furnace by means of the difference of pressure established between the external atmospheric pressure in the ash-pan and the pressure in the smoke-box.

    457

    This method is frequently adopted in combined schemes of heating and ventilating; the fresh air is warmed by being passed over their surfaces previously to being admitted through the gratings into the room.

    458

    This solution is not very stable, since on exposure to air it slowly oxidizes and becomes turbid owing to the gradual precipitation of sulphur.

    459

    This system of intercellular spaces, extending throughout the plant, constitutes a reservoir, charged with an atmosphere which differs somewhat in its composition from the external air, its gaseous constituents varying from time to time and from place to place, in consequence of the interchanges between itself and the protoplaste.

    460

    This will be composed of a conduction and a convection current, the latter due to rising or falling air currents carrying ions.

    461

    Thus if the instrument depends on the pressure or suction effect alone, and this pressure or suction is measured against the air pressure in an ordinary room, in which the doors and windows are carefully closed and a newspaper is then burnt up the chimney, an effect may be produced equal to a wind of io m.

    462

    Thus, in the case of one station and one moving railway carriage, there is a circuit consisting partly of the earth, partly of the ordinary telegraph wires at the side of the track, and partly of the circuits of the telephone receiver at one place and the secondary of the induction coil at the other, two air gaps existing in this circuit.

    463

    To obtain a larger heating surface than a pipe affords, radiators are connected with the pipes where desired, and the water passing through them warms the surrounding air.

    464

    To prevent the atmosphere from becoming unduly dry a pan of water is fitted to the stove; this serves to moisten the air before it passes into the distributing flues.

    465

    To the sick the doctors wisely recommend a change of air and scenery.

    466

    Unless suitable fresh air inlets are provided, this form of stove will cause the room to be draughty, the strong current of warm air up the flue drawing cold air in through the crevices in the doors and windows.

    467

    Ventilating radiators are similar, but have an inlet arrangement at the base to allow external air to pass over the heating surface before passing out through the perforations.

    468

    Victor waved his hand in the air.

    469

    Visit the Grand Canyon, travel to Scotland, hot air balloon ride.

    470

    We should really be fed and cheered if when we met a man we were sure to see that some of the qualities which I have named, which we all prize more than those other productions, but which are for the most part broadcast and floating in the air, had taken root and grown in him.

    471

    Wednesday morning dawned with air so crisp Dean was awake before the alarm, awake to a knock down gorgeous day, "one of the ten best" prattled a cheery voice on the kitchen table radio.

    472

    Well, the Internet is bigger than air conditioning.

    473

    Wesley and his helpers, finding the Anglican churches closed against them, took to preaching in the open air; and this method is still followed, more or less, in the aggressive evangelistic work of all the Methodist Churches.

    474

    When Carmen continued to stare at her, she threw her hands in the air.

    475

    When Carmen didn't respond, she threw her hands in the air and rolled her eyes.

    476

    When exposed in the moist condition to the air it gradually acquires a red colour.

    477

    When Hydrophilus dives it carries a supply of air between the elytra and the dorsal surface of the abdomen, while air is FIG.

    478

    When I walk out in my garden I cannot see the beautiful flowers but I know that they are all around me; for is not the air sweet with their fragrance?

    479

    When Jenn saw Darian drop from the air she launched forward.

    480

    When she gasped for air, his blood trickled into her mouth.

    481

    When sulphur is burned in air or oxygen, sulphur dioxide is produced, which is a powerful disinfectant, used to fumigate rooms which have been occupied by persons suffering from some infectious disease.

    482

    When the connecting string is held taut and sounds, such as those of ordinary speech, are produced in front of one of the membranes, pulses corresponding to the fluctuations of the atmospheric pressure are transmitted along the string and communicated to the other membrane, which in its turn communicates them to the air, thus reproducing the sound.

    483

    When the road straightened once more, he heard a noise behind him and a dozen daredevils in the tuck posi­tion sped on by him with a wave and a rush of air.

    484

    Where Sofi's magic was cold, Bianca's was cool, and the air around her shimmered as if with sunlight.

    485

    While she sounded relieved, there was a chill in the air like opening the door, expecting warm sunshine and forgetting it's December.

    486

    While the air remained chilly, especially in the shaded patches, it was so clear and unseasonably warm Dean hardly noticed.

    487

    While the rush of air in the topless Jeep hindered communication, they usually managed to chatter away in spite of the noise.

    488

    While they are quite capable of taking up nitrates from the soil where and so long as these are present, they can grow and thrive in soil which contains no combined nitrogen at all, deriving their supplies of this element in these cases from the air.

    489

    White lightning snaked through the air.

    490

    Why don't you come up for air sometime?

    491

    Wild phlox filled the air with a heavenly scent that rivaled lilacs.

    492

    Wilson supposes that by the fall to the ground of a preponderance of negatively charged rain the air above the shower has a higher positive potential than elsewhere at the same level, thus leading to large conduction currents laterally in the highly conducting upper layers.

    493

    With a chuckle and a deep breath of crisp, clear air, he mused, Today would be perfect, were it not for the human locked in the basement.

    494

    With closed stoves much less heat is wasted, and consequ;ntly less fuel is burned, than with open grates, but they often cause an unpleasant sensation of dryness in the air, and the products of combustion also escape to some extent, rendering this method of heating not only unpleasant but sometimes even dangerous.

    495

    With his commanding air, he was accustomed to being in charge.

    496

    With one last look over his shoulder, he stepped into the early morning air.

    497

    With the air cleared of all the secrets, and both of them making a concentrated effort to get along, even the children appeared to be happier.

    498

    With the air cleared, he dropped the subject and moved on to more pleasant conversation.

    499

    With the air of a practical Petersburg lady she now, keeping Pierre close beside her, entered the room even more boldly than that afternoon.

    500

    Without a thought as to who might be watching, he ducked into an alley and flung himself into the air.
