The last kind I shall notice is when the upper lobe not only consists of two joints, but is cylindrical, and assumes the aspect of a feeler or palpus[1273].
Lepidoptera the inner lobe of the maxilla which represents this feeler is jointed, which is precisely the case with the beetles just named.
From this at right angles proceeds the lobe, from the outer side of which the feeler emerges; and the inner part terminates in an unguiform joint, ending in two or three bristles.
And so he waited until matters should clear up, and Gérard's arrival should give him strength to compass Blücher's utter overthrow while in the act of stretching a feeler towards Wellington.
But Mick Murdock's feeler was not forgotten by either of them.
Ned Cavana, too, brooded over the conversation in silence, determined to throw out a feelerof his own to his daughter.
The other old man had not forgotten the feeler he had thrown out either, nor the thoughtful silence with which it had been received; for Mick Murdock could not believe that a man of Ned Cavana's penetration had misunderstood him.
He was determined, however, to follow the matter up, and throw out another feeler upon the subject to his son.
You needn't draw anything of him except just the opening of his mouth and the feeler across.
Illustration: A two-headed turtle, a crab with an eye on one side and a feeler on the other, and a child with two great toes on each foot.
One day turning over the Anacharis in search of subjects, a small brown tube was noticed, from which a glassy rod protruded like the feeler of a rotifer.
Two years since, the sons sold it to Peter Feeler for a hundred an acre; or for the total sum of five thousand dollars.
The next spring Mr. Feeler sold it to John Search, as keen a one as we have, for twenty-five thousand.
Roll in dried and powdered coral, and put a piece of feeler in each.
Put a piece of the feeler in each, to represent a bone.
Insert a screwdriver through opening "C" and turn star wheel until feeleris held snugly.
Loosen eccentric lock nut "A" and turn eccentric "B" in the direction the wheel rotates when the car is moving forward until the feeler is held snugly between the drum and the lining.
The Passalidae are a tropical family of beetles generally considered to be intermediate between stag-beetles and chafers, the enlarged segments of the feeler being capable of close approximation.
Such obvious features as the number of segments in the foot and the shape of the feeler were used by the early entomologists for distinguishing the great groups of beetles.
The diameters of the two feelers are equal at the ends, so that each feeler shall present the same amount of end area to the work.
It fell near the purple amoeba which it had battled and a long feeler shot out and grasped it.
A feeler came slowly and feebly out a few feet toward us and then stopped.
As we approached the amoeba came rapidly to meet us and a long feelershot out.
Over and around the flyer the feeler went, while green and red colors played over first one and then another of the huge eyes before us.
As it did so there was a flash of intense light ahead of us as Jim turned loose the ray, and the feeler disappeared.
The feeler wrapped itself around the flyer and we were lifted into the air toward those horrible eyes.
It was not long before this stranger also was punished, and then the Moth with the crooked feelerturned to the others.
It is essential for the safety of the Feelerthat the Felt should stand perfectly still.
Otherwise the angles might inflict on the unwary Feeler irreparable injury.
Modern life stretched out its steam feelerto this point three or four times a day, touched the native existences, and quickly withdrew its feeler again, as if what it touched had been uncongenial.
That it was partly a feeler I had no doubt, but I began to glean direct intelligence of many matters of intrigue in Turkey.
The man gave one tentative tug and felt resistance, then hauled the feeler in hand over hand and drew forth a fighting pup, the three tines twisted firmly into his soft fur.
The man inserted the end of the feeler in a hole that led off the main cavity of the den, and advanced it by gentle thrusts, twisting it as he pushed to clear the forks.
The main road rather slighted than acknowledged Penny Green by the nerveless and shrunken feeler which, a mile beyond Chovensbury, it extended in Penny Green's direction.
At the same moment another feeler fixed itself upon the base of his tail, half paralyzing his struggles.
In the same instant another feeler snatched at him, for Mr. Inkmaker, you know, had ten tentacles, every one of them spoiling for a fight.
On each side of the proboscis is a lip-feeler or labial palpus, for the organ represents the labium of other insects.
They are as unlike our idea of a nose as are the little pits on the feeler of the cockchafer which we examined, yet these noses and ours all perform the same duties.
In that case the feeler is a more important organ than one might surmise from its popular name.
