I took the precaution to move you, before you fell by your own gravity, from what was lately the bottom, to that which is now so, and to keep you in this place until you were retained in it by the moon's attraction; for though your fall would have been, at this point, like that of a feather, yet it would have given you some shock and alarm.

And now, being already close on the dolorous moment, which was fated to be the occasion either of a most assured death or of a life of such anguish that none before me has ever endured the like, prompted by I know not what spirit, I raised my eyes with decent gravity, and surveyed with penetrating look the crowds of young men who were standing near me.

"I haf come to be undisturbed," announced the doctor, with owl-like, Teutonic gravity, "and I will not be disturbed.

His pensive gravity would have appeared excessive if manifested by the Great Sphinx.

I HEAR AN OLD SONG XI. GRAVITY OUT OF BED XII.

CHAPTER XI. GRAVITY OUT OF BED.

First of all, he paid out to me the gold I had lost from my ship at Accomac, with all the gravity in the world, as if it had been an ordinary merchant's bargain.

" Once the Master said, "Because we allow that a man's words have something genuine in them, are they necessarily those of a superior man? or words carrying only an outward semblance and show of gravity?" Tsz-lu put a question about the practice of precepts one has heard.

He smiled, but his smile had a touch of gravity.

The motion is quite steady, except for a slight jolt as one passes each standard, and, provided one sits still and doesn't shift one's centre of gravity from side to side, there is no wobbling of the tea tray.

I found the greatest of these to be gravity.

I also found that the best flyers were not equal to the feat of keeping me company, when walking at my usual pace; hence I inferred that velocity was a necessary element in flight, and that gravity, so fatal to human attempts to fly, might be made a powerful auxiliary when rightly used.

The buoyant power of such a machine, or the weight it would carry, supposing it inflated with gas of the same specific gravity, compared with that of the model, would be as the cubes of their respective diameters; or in, about, the ratio of 420 to one.

Speaking of the Prioress, who makes such a delicate figure among his Canterbury Pilgrims, he tells us, among her other accomplishments, that 'French she spake full faire and featously;' adding with great gravity, 'After the school of Stratford atte Bowe; For French of Paris was to her unknowe.'

The strange title, too, has served to divert attention from the real centre of gravity.

" "You've saved my life," said Dudley, staring at Roy with a peculiar gravity; "if you hadn't dashed over to me, I should have been sucked down by that old wheel, and should have been a dead man by this time.

But Roy's little face was full of anxious gravity and purpose, and he checked Dudley's inclination to laugh at once.

His face changed from a placid gravity to one of surprise and distress.

"I only left the house at five o'clock," exclaimed Dr. Panton; and then, as he saw the look of gravity deepen on the other man's face, he asked: "Was there a fire there last night?

Egad, I thought for a time the beast had devoured my entire centre of gravity, and that I never should go on a steady perpendicular again."

"Upon my word, Curran," said I, "the mastiff may have left you your centre, but he could not have left much gravity behind him, among the bystanders."Sir

The specific gravity of Spanish oil of L. stæchas is 0.942 at 15° C. It boils between 180° and 245°.

Its specific gravity is 0.926 at 15° C. It distills almost completely between 170° and 200°.

The specific gravity of the oil of L. vera (according to Flückiger and Hanbury, Pharmacographia) ranges between 0.87 and 0.94.

Is not God's help in the good purposes of every man?" Mr. Lurton shook his head with a gentle gravity, and changed the subject by saying, "I am going to Metropolisville next week to attend a meeting.
