This operation usually takes two or three hours, after which it is run off along narrow channels, till it reaches the straining-table.

His thoughts were keyed to a straining-point; his glance would swerve; he strove his best to control it.

When she who was the source of all my sighs, Fled from the world, herself, my straining sight, Nature who gave us that unique delight, Was sunk in shame, and we had weeping eyes.

And it sang, Light and low, that mother's song; And the master, staunch and strong, Heard the sweet strain drift along Softened, thinned, Heard the tightened cordage ringing Till it seemed a loved voice singing In the wind, The wild November wind.

We can hardly enter into such a frame of mind, though possibly the irreverences and buffooneries of some of the miracle-plays of the middle ages are similarly to be explained as the rebound from the strain incident to a continual sense of the nearness of the supernatural; and perhaps the Messer Domeniddio of the Florentines stood rather for a mental effigy that might be played with, than for the reasoned conception of the dread Deity.

For the preservation of general type, however, it ought to be sufficient to keep to one strain and to select from that strain members who, while exhibiting similar characteristics, are not actually too closely allied in consanguinity.

Strain mixture into a cup and let stand 2 hours or over night.

But now, my Muse, a softer strain rehearse, Turn every line with art, and smooth thy verse; The courtly Waller next commands thy lays: Muse, tune thy verse with art to Waller's praise.

It would be preferable, perhaps, to make the plates of a common spring with different curves, so that the leaves, though in contact at the centre, would not be in contact with the ends with light loads, but would be brought into contact gradually, as the strain conies on: a spring would thus be obtained that was suitable for all loads.

it was In language meet, and in appropriate strains Strains which thy lyre had taught himhe pour'd forth The feelings of his soul, and all was calm.

That he 's leaving his apartment This harmonious strain suggesteth, Since to counteract his gloom He by music is attended.

A common form consists of three main parts, namely: (1) the straining mechanism, (2) the weighing apparatus, and (3) the machinery for communicating motion to the screws.

Do not squeeze the cloth or stir the liquid with a spoon to hasten the straining process.

The straining mechanism consists of two parts, one of which is a movable crosshead operated by four (sometimes two or three) upright steel straining screws which pass through openings in the platform and bear upward on the bed of the machine upon which the weighing platform rests as a fulcrum.

It is covered by a large straining-sheet, on which the mall settles; while the waste water trickles through and is carried away by a drain.

There are in this loud stunning tide Of human care and crime, With whom the melodies abide Of the everlasting chime; Who carry music in their heart Through dusky lane and wrangling mart, Plying their daily task with busier feet, Because their secret souls a holy strain repeat.

The area included between the stress-strain curve and the initial line (which is zero) represents the work done.

The giant husky and the quarter-strain wolf-dog were not fighting like sledge-dog or wolf.

His biographer says that the resulting "emotional strain doubtless was contributory to his breakdown at Oxford" and to his enforced absence for a recuperative trip on the continent.
