But strange possibilities lie dormant in that semi-fluid globule.
This assumes the motion of that portion of the fluid in which it is immersed, and, by the aid of a small pencil, its direction is inscribed upon a plate located above it.
A special use of these integrators is for finding the total work done by a fluidpressure reciprocating engine.
In April 1888, the shafts were started near both riverbanks, but before reaching proper depth the almost fluid clay and silt flowed up faster than it could be excavated and this plan was abandoned.
The Thames Tunnel of Brunel, and Haskin's efforts beneath the Hudson, had clearly shown that by themselves, both the shield and pneumatic systems of driving through fluid ground were defective in practice for tunnels of large area.
However, in certain strata the clay encountered was so fluid that the shield could be simply driven forward by the rams, causing the muck to flow in at the door openings without excavation.
The face of the man sitting at the table watching this unsavory stew was hidden behind a mica and rubber mask, for the fumes which were being given off by the fluid were neither pleasant nor healthy.
He looked at the still warm bowl of fluid suspiciously.
To "apply locally" means to put the fluid on the part of the plate which needs retouching, instead of covering the whole plate.
A bottle of retouching fluid costs twenty-five cents, and will last a long time.
That glacial ice actually moves after the analogy of a semi-fluid has been abundantly demonstrated by observation.
The centre flows past the sides, the top flows over the bottom, and the motion through a curved valley corresponds to fluid motion.
But it is said, we have a proof that he did not create it in its present solid form, but in a state of fluidity; because its present shape of an oblate spheroid is precisely that which a fluid mass revolving on its axis would assume.
A revolving fluid will continue to change its shape, till it attains that in which its principles of contrary motion are balanced.
Coffee-ground sediment in a fluidstool is blood from the upper part of the intestine or stomach.
The chemical and the microscopical examination of this fluid withdrawn by paracentesis may aid in the diagnosis of cancerous peritonitis.
If, on the other hand, the fluid is withdrawn before the muscularity is not stretched out of the muscles, then accumulation will be less rapid and the patient will be spared the suffering which large accumulations cause.
By withdrawing the fluid from the stomach by the stomach-tube the dulness may be made to disappear, and by injecting more fluid the dulness may be made to reappear at will.
In most cases milk is useful, but an exclusively milk diet is not generally well borne on account of the quantity of fluid required.
Over the most dependent part of the stomach a dull sound is produced on percussion in case a sufficient quantity of fluid or solid material is contained in the viscus.
The changed position of the fluid as the body is turned from side to side is important.
The superficial epidermic layer e is elevated by a fluid exuded between it and the rete mucosum.
The pressure of the fluid in the cavity on the ascending vena cava and iliac veins seems to be the principal factor; but to this must also be added the intestinal gas, which in some instances exerts a powerful force.
The albumen was so abundant that the fluid was completely consolidated on boiling.
Should it not (for chemicals differ occasionally in their purity), then a little more should be very cautiously added until the fluid is perfectly clear.
This exciting fluid may be applied either directly {599} by means of the glass rod, or by floating, as before, and then the glass rod.
The marked side of the paper should then be carefully laid upon the surface of this fluid in a proper porcelain or glass dish.

Little machinery or apparatus is used in removing the viscid fluid from the pockets in the bark.
According to this view the continental land masses have been in a fairly fluid condition of instability.
Our camaradas eagerly drank the white fluid that flowed from the wounds made by their axes.
A thought strikes him that the cerebro spinal fluid is the highest known element that is contained in the human body, and unless the brain furnishes this fluid in abundance a disabled condition of the body will remain.
As an experiment, in addition to Osteopathic treatment, I put a few drops of glycerine in their ears, followed with water to wet and soften the wax which was dry and hard, to get it back to a fluid state.
I think consumption begins by closing the channels of cerebro-spinal fluid in neck, which fluid stands as one of, if not the most highly refined elements in animal bodies.
If any obstructing blood or other fluid should be deposited in quantities great enough to stop other fluids from passing on their way, Nature will fire up its engine to remove such deposits by converting fluids into gas.
No doubt nerves exist in the fascia, that change the fluid to gas, and force it through the spongy and porous system as a delivery by the vital chain of wonders, that go on all the time to keep nerves wholly pure.
The fluid we speak of comes from the skull, and when in process of formation must not be disturbed until it has passed through all chances of being injured by force, air or light.
A drop of this fluid should be placed on a perfectly clean cover glass, which it is well to pass once or twice through a flame, and the spores transferred to this drop with a needle previously heated.
The blotting paper should be soaked thoroughly in pure water (distilled water is preferable), and then placed on a slide, covering carefully with the cover glass with the suspended drop of fluid containing the spores.
The fluid should now be boiled so as to kill any germs that may be in it; and while hot, one of the vessels should be securely stopped up with a plug of cotton wool, and the other left open.
Here the tentacles, with which the leaf is studded, secrete a sticky fluid which holds any small insect that may light upon it.
A digestive fluid is secreted by glands upon the inner surface of the leaf, and in a short time the captured insect is actually digested and absorbed by the leaves.
On placing a cell into a fluid denser than the cell sap (e.
Two or three mornings afterwards I felt a slight itching at the tip of my prick, but took no notice of it; the next morning piddling, to my horror I saw a little yellowish fluid oozing, and sat down in consternation.
Then came astonishment, mingled with disgust, I examined the viscid gruelly fluid with the greatest curiosity, smelt it, and I think tasted it.
The fox also dominates by cunning, and the hare by flight, and the viper by poison, and the mosquito by its smallness, and the squid by the inky fluid with which it darkens the water and under cover of which it escapes.
His lordship yawned, stretched himself, and then poured some pale brandy into a coffee-cup, before filling it with the rich fluid in the biggin.
The distance was short, but unfortunately the side he reached was but a semi-fluid collection of bog vegetation, half floating upon the water, and which broke away from the arm he threw over it again and again.
In this fluid the filaments of the auditory nerve terminate, which receive and transmit the sound to the brain.
It is the office of this fluid to moisten and thin the mucus of the nose.
In like manner, when the quality of that fluidis impaired by deficiency of food, bad digestion, impure air, or imperfect sanguification in the lungs, the body and all its functions become more or less disordered.
I then filled the receiver with water, and inverting it, placed its mouth beneath the surface of the same fluid in another vessel.
The change from inhaling a fluid poison at blood heat, to inhaling the purer air without at the freezing point or below, is greater than the system can bear with impunity.
If this vital fluid becomes impure, or its quantity is diminished, the sensibility of the skin will be impaired thereby.
The milky fluid is procured in the same way, but it is placed in vessels to evaporate, and the solid substance left at the bottom is the gutta-percha.
Like the caoutchouc, it is a native of South America; but the sap is a rich fluid that answers for food, like milk.
On this supposition we shall express the attraction of the mass upon a particle in its interior, and then, taking into account the centrifugal force, form the equation expressing the condition of fluid equilibrium.
We may now show that a homogeneous fluid mass in the form of an oblate ellipsoid of revolution having a uniform velocity of rotation can be in equilibrium.
This equation implies that the resultant of the forces is normal to the surface at every point, and in a homogeneous fluidit is obviously the differential equation of all surfaces of equal pressure.
Although it may be highly probable that originally the earth was a fluid mass, yet in the cooling whereby the present crust has resulted, the actual solid surface has been left most irregular in form.
The membranous labyrinth lies in the bony labyrinth, but does not fill it; between the two is the fluid called perilymph, while inside the membranous labyrinth is the endolymph.
No fluid should be drunk at meal-times, but from one to two tumblers of hot water should be drunk from an hour to an hour and a half before food.
What was the unknown force thrown off by this crowd, the vital fluid powerful enough to work the few cures that really occurred?
When one cloud meets another, the one over-supplied with this fluid and the other in its normal state, there is an immediate interchange of courtesies, the negative electricity of the one is exchanged for the positive of the other.
Keeping in view its partiality for bell-pulls, a wire is attached to the rod down which the unconscious fluid glides.
The discharges of electricity from one cloud to another are the flashes of lightning, and it is to be observed that the thunder is nothing more than the noise made by the fluid rushing through the air.
The hilt, or even the point, might have been fused; but even supposing the electric fluidto have been capable of such flagrant preference, the scabbard could not have held molten metal without being itself consumed.
