Whenever a substance cannot be dried completely, without an alteration of its properties, an intermedium is had recourse to, by which the moisture may be absorbed, or its state of aggregation modified.
Meantime Pope Zachary, on his part, made ready to accomplish his engagement, the chaplain of Pepin being the intermedium of negotiation.

Usually, in telegraphy, this work consists in sending over a line of a certain resistance intermittent currents, through the intermedium of suitable manipulators.
Such agitation is produced by two pairs of paddles, J J, mounted at the extremity of an axle actuated by the wheel, A, through the intermedium of gearings, g and g.
It articulates distally with the intermedium (lunar) and the ulnare (cuneiform) bones of the carpus.
The carpus often has two centralia and the intermedium is absent.
In most living reptiles, however, the tibiale and intermedium are as in mammals united, forming the astragalus.
In some Chelonia the tarsus like the carpus has an extremely simple arrangement, consisting of a proximal row of three bones, the tibiale, intermedium and fibulare, a centrale, and a distal row of five tarsalia.
The ulnare, intermediumand pisiform are comparatively large flattened bones, the others are small and cubical.
Thus the carpus in Sphenodon differs mainly in having two centralia, that of most Lacertilia, in having the centrale and intermedium fused.
The intermedium is absent, while the tibiale and fibulare are greatly elongated.
Of these the calcaneum is the fibulare, and the astragalus is generally regarded as the tibiale and intermedium fused[111].
Salamandra theintermedium and ulnare have fused, (b) displacement of structures, e.
In all mammals the tibiale and intermedium fuse to form the astragalus, and the fourth and fifth tarsalia to form the cuboid.
The messages obtained by their intermedium may present an internal or clinical interest, but in that case they belong to the category of intellectual phenomena, properly so-called.
The centrale and intermedium are the middle and proximal products of the segmentation of the ulnar column of the primitive carpus, the distal second carpal being common both to this column and to the radial column.
In the foot the proximal row of tarsals consists of a tibiale, an intermedium and a fibulare.
A common ancestor of frogs and salamanders could be expected to have the following elements present and ossified in the adult: distal carpals 1-4 separate; 3 centralia; radiale, intermedium and ulnare separate.
A prepollex rests against centrale 1; centralia 2 and 3 are fused; the radiale fuses with centrale 4, and the intermedium fuses with the ulnare; radius and ulna are fused with each other as in other frogs.
The iron plate ring carries wheels and rollers, through the intermedium of which the turret is revolved.
The conical embrasure traverses this cushion by means of a cast-steel piece firmly bolted to the caisson, and applied to the armor through the intermedium of a leaden ring.
It rests upon a pivot, p, around which it revolves through the intermedium of rollers placed in a circle, r.
The pulley connected with the motor carries along the one connected with the machine, through the intermedium of spring plates, whose strength varies with the nature of the apparatus to be tested.
These journals communicate, through the intermedium of two friction springs, with the conductors on the one hand and, on the other, with the poles of an automatic and portable battery.
