The moisture content of the straw should not exceed 60%.

Thus, a shade temperature of 100 degrees F. in the dry air of a high plain may be quite tolerable, while a temperature of 80 degrees F. in the moisture-laden atmosphere of less elevated regions, is oppressive.

Moisture determinations are made for each of the three portions separately.

This is a perfectly legitimate procedure provided no drying is allowed from the sides of the specimen, and the moisture disk is cut from the region of failure.

After the test a moisture section is cut and weighed.

She strove bravely to conceal the homesickness which she could not always conquer; but several times, in the course of their travels, Mrs. Delano noticed moisture gathering on her long black eyelashes when she saw the stars and stripes floating from the mast of a vessel.

The electromotive force is independent of the velocity, but diminishes as the moisture increases, and is about equal to 52,000 Daniell cells.

In cellars vast, impervious made, Goblets of gold he sees displayed, Dishes and plates, row after row; There beakers, rich with rubies, stand; And would he use them, close at hand Well stored the ancient moisture lies; Yetwould ye him who knoweth, trust?

The moisture needs of different trees are as remarkable as their likes and dislikes for warmth and cold.

The wet ground here is intolerable, the sky above clear and delusive, but under foot quagmires from night showers, and I am cold-footed and moisture-abhorring as a cat; nevertheless I yesterday tramped to Waltham Cross; perhaps the poor bit of exertion necessary to scribble this was owing to that unusual bracing.

In an air saturated with moisture specimens turn black and mouldy, and drop to pieces; and unless turned over and exposed to every chance burst of sunshine, the labour of weeks is lost, if indeed meanwhile the ants, and other creeping things, have not eaten the whole into rags.

The nature of tension failure is apparently not affected by the moisture condition of the specimen, at least not so much so as the other strength values.

that, rolling o'er the plains, The towering Alps of half their moisture drains, And proudly swoln with a whole winter's snows, Distributes wealth and plenty where he flows.

After being allowed to settle, the water is poured off, and the substance remaining behind is put into long linen bags through which the moisture filters.

The Ivy in a dungeon grew Unfed by rain, uncheer'd by dew; Its pallid leaflets only drank Cave-moistures foul, and odours dank.
