He spoke slowly, and there was a vibrationof feeling in his sonorous voice.
As they climbed they were astonished to perceive every few moments a kind of vibration in the soil.
Then the vibrationof life loses its power of tyranny.
To suffer either pleasure or pain, causes a vivid vibration which is, to the consciousness of man, life.
He does not obtain his strength by his own right, but because he is a part of the whole; and as soon as he is safe from the vibration of life and can stand unshaken, the outer world cries out to him to come and labor in it.
So long as the animal rules there will be the keenest sufferings in consequence of change, of the vibration between pleasure and pain, of the desire for prolonged and pleasant physical life.
The great ones who have conquered life, who have become more than disciples, stand at peace and undisturbed amid the vibration and kaleidoscopic movement of humanity.
He took it out, and as he lifted the brazen lid the white card swung to and fro with the vibration of his hand.
Bevis held the oar-rudder under his right arm, with his hand on the handle, and felt the vibration of the million bubbles rising from the edge of the rudder to the surface.
That is to say, "an infinitely small change in the kind of vibration communicated from the parent to the germ.
I interpret this, "We cannot wonder if often-repeated vibrations gather strength, and become at once more lasting and requiring less accession of vibration from without, in order to become strong enough to generate action.
The only "stimulus from within" that should be able to generate action is that which may follow when a vibration already established in the body runs into another similar vibration already so established.
It should not be doubted that wherever there is vibration or motion there is life and memory, and that there is vibration and motion at all times in all things.
Hence also they require less accession of vibrationfrom without.
I am not committed to the vibration theory of memory, though inclined to accept it on a prima facie view.
On this the eternal agitation becomes so much enhanced, that equilibrium is visibly disturbed, and the action ensues which is proper to the vibration of the particular substance under the particular conditions.
At the same time a similar movement goes on in the rock of the floor, and, where the rate of vibration is the same, the two kicks are coincident, and so the sphere is impelled violently away from the point of contact.
The vibration swelled to a roar, but the seat of the sound amid the echoing cliffs was indeterminable.
Where the rocks are set in vibrationby a rent which is formed in them, the phenomena are more complicated, and often on a vastly larger scale than in the simple conditions afforded by a sheet of ice.
Moving through materials of one density, and with a rate of vibration determined by those conditions, the impulse is with difficulty communicated to strata which naturally vibrate at another speed.
In all arrangements of this kind there is a tendency for the armature spring to vibrate, as it were, sinusoidally, if the coil is magnetised and demagnetised at a higher rate than the natural period of vibration of the spring.
The spring to which the armature is attached should be of such a length that its natural period of vibration is equal to the number of contacts made by the transmitting stylus.
No sound was heard save the vibration of the air-compressors and an occasional shout of a workman at the shaft leading down to the air-locks.
Now as we increase the rapidity of wave vibration and decrease the wave length we pass from sound waves to heat waves or what are known as the infra-red waves, those which lie below the red in the spectrum of light.
The constant vibration they keep up through their noses gives you the idea that their teacher has been in the habit of raising sheep, and had caught many of their peculiar notes.
Jean Becquerel, which would attribute it to the vibration within the atom of both negative and positive electrons, also deserves notice.
During a luminous impression, the direction and the phase change millions of times in the vibration sensible to the retina, yet the damping of this vibration is very slow.
It should, moreover, be remarked that the duration of a vibration may itself be influenced by external circumstances, among which are the variations of the magnetic field in which its source is placed.
It has become the custom to characterise each vibration by the path which the vibratory movement traverses during the space of a vibration--by the length of wave, in a word--rather than by the duration of the vibration itself.
The very exact knowledge also of the speed of the propagation of light allows the duration of a vibration to be calculated when once the wave-length is known.
It was, in consequence, necessarily transverse, and thus coincided with the vibration of Fresnel; while the corresponding magnetic vibration was perpendicular to it, and would coincide with the luminous vibration of Neumann.
But Neumann has proposed, on the contrary, a theory in which he recognizes that the luminousvibration is in this very plane.
Thus the assimilation of the luminous to the elastic vibrationis not correct.
Fresnel founded his theory of double refraction and reflexion by transparent surfaces, on the hypothesis that the vibration of a ray of polarized light is perpendicular to the plane of polarization.
In the simplest theory, we will imagine an electron which may be displaced from its position of equilibrium in all directions, and is, in this displacement, submitted to attractions which communicate to it a vibration like a pendulum.
To his mind, therefore, an electrical vibration could not produce condensations of electricity.
Large trees are sometimes uprooted by wind that comes in gusts timed to the rate of vibration of the tree.
So if a series of forks with vibration periods equal to the numbers of the series of overtones given on p.
The vibration of a membrane and that of a solid differ chiefly in the amplitude of such vibration.
When the wire is again run past these coils, with a receiver such as I have here in circuit with the coils, a light vibration is set up in the receiver diaphragm which reproduces the sound of speech.
The disturbance set up in the coils by the vibration of the diaphragm of the transmitter causes a deposit of magnetic impulse on the wire, the coils being connected with dry batteries.
The white spray shot in a perfect fountain from the sharp bow of the Flying Fish, and her every frame and plank quivered under the vibration of her powerful engine.
The air trembled with the vibration of her mighty engines, and a great white "'bone" foamed up at her sharp prow.
A small, flat, wind instrument of music, in which the notes are produced by the vibration of free metallic reeds.
A musical instrument, resembling a small organ and especially designed for church music, in which the tones are produced by forcing air by means of a bellows so as to cause the vibration of free metallic reeds.
An obsolete wind instrument with a keyboard, in which the sound, which resembled the oboe, was produced by the vibration of thin metallic plates, acted upon by blowing through a tube.
Perfectly definite and powerful rates of vibration can not be sent from point to point over wires to which only certain definite apparatus will respond.
We can not depend upon the oscillatory nature of the spark, or adopt, in other words, its rate of vibration and form a coherer with the same rate.
Is it possible that there is some mysterious vibration in the spark which is instrumental in the effective transmission of electrical energy across space?
The ancients seem to have understood that sound is due to the vibration of the air; see ll.
The vibration of the steamer and the splashing of the water against its iron side alone broke the stillness.
As the sun gave notice of day, we moved off, and all day the sea was so still that but for the vibration of the screws it would have been hard to realize that the ship was in motion.
We remarked that the vibrationwaxes and wanes, much as that of the steamer waxes and wanes if the twin-screws are not running quite together.
A more sensational effect is that apparently earthquakes are more numerous at the time when the vibration is greatest.
At A and C the compound vibration would be doubled; at B and D reduced to insensibility.
When there is vibration or movement in the ethereal element, the eye is affected by that vibration and beholds what is known as light.
The association of these molecular properties is what produces vibration in nature.
To reproduce this vibration they were necessitated to use nature's methods: they broke up surfaces into sensitive parts, each one of which was a separate tint.
In the production of tone, the muscular tissue of the vocal cords is thrown into vibration by the air blast, and not merely the membranous covering of the inner edges of the cords.
Second, the sound waves are conducted to the ear internally, by the vibration of the bones of the head, as well as externally, by the air waves.
Further, they noted the sensation of vibration in the chest caused by singing low notes, and concluded that these notes are actually produced in the chest.
In singing low notes a sensation of trembling or vibration is felt in the upper chest; high notes are accompanied by a similar sensation in the head.
In every true chest tone the resonance can be distinctly felt as a vibration (fremitus pectoralis) by the hand laid flat on the chest.
One important consequence of the invention of the laryngoscope was the turning of attention away from the sensations of vibrationin the chest and head.
But vocal theorists at once extended the idea of air resonance, and connected it with the well-known sensations of vibration in the chest and head.
How these sensations of vibration came to be made the basis of the theories of vocal resonance, and of registers as well, is an interesting bit of vocal history.
But with the publication of Helmholtz's Die Lehre von den Tonempfindungen in 1863, the sensations of vibration again received attention.
The effect of the puffs on each element of the vocal cavity is double: first, to arouse in it a vibration with a period depending on the cavity; second, to force on it a vibration of the same period as that of the set of puffs.
The sensations specially noticed in this type of exercise are the feelings of vibration in the nose and forehead.
This method goes to the extreme in utilizing the sensations of vibration in the nose and forehead.
Clutching her telephone-wire with a toe, the Spider listens with her leg; she perceives the innermost vibrations; she distinguishes between the vibration proceeding from a prisoner and the mere shaking caused by the wind.
The different parts of the framework, tossed and teased by the eddying air-currents, cannot fail to transmit their vibration to the signalling-thread.
The alarm is given by the vibration of the web, much more than by the sight of the captured object.
If anywhere, behind or before, a vibration occur, the sign of a capture, the Epeira knows about it, even without the aid of sight.
It is the vibration of the guitar,--a deeptoned, melodious voice accompanies it.
