Also the labor raised the temperature of the body incredibly.

This agent, by lowering the temperature of the skin, and opening the pores, producing a natural perspiration, and unloading the congested state of the lungs, in most cases does away entirely with the necessity both for leeches and a blister.

During the winter months, manifestly, more energy is required to maintain body temperature, hence the gland surrenders more of its secretion to the tissues and so keeps less of it itself.

It will be prudent to begin with the tepid bath (85 degrees to 92 degrees), and gradually reduce the temperature until the open sea can be resorted to without fear.

In order that the problem may be understood and its importance appreciated, it is necessary to explain the now generally accepted principles as to the causes which determine the temperatures on our earth, and, presumably, on all other planets whose conditions are not wholly unlike ours.

If a thermometer, made for the purpose, be placed for five minutes in the armpit, or under the tongue, it will indicate a temperature of about 98-1/2 degrees F., whether the surrounding atmosphere be warm or cold.

As to catching the residuum of the process, or what we call thought,the gaseous ashes of burned-out thinking,the excretion of mental respiration,that will depend on many things, as, on having a favorable intellectual temperature about one, and a fitting receptacle.

"Always taking people's temperatures.

" "Did the opening of this door alter the temperature of the room?" "I cannot say; I felt neither heat nor cold at any time.

At all points above the sea level, water boils at a temperature below 212°, the exact temperature depending upon the altitude.

He slipped his fingers alongside her throat to test her temperature, at the same time drawing a thermometer from his waistcoat pocket.

Assuming the earth to be nothing but a cooling mass, the quantity of heat lost per year, supposing the rate of cooling to have been uniform, multiplied by any given number of years, will be given the minimum temperature that number of years ago.

In regard to matters of fact, Zimmermann's chief aim is to show that among terrestrial mammals, some occur all over the world, while others are restricted to particular areas of greater or smaller extent; and that the abundance of species follows temperature, being greatest in warm and least in cold climates.

It is evident, then, that the mechanisms which regulate the temperature of the body must be exceedingly sensitive.

The difference produced by this latter fact he minimises by dwelling on the probability of a greater proportion of carbonic-acid gas and water-vapour in the Martian atmosphere, and thus brings down the mean temperature of Mars to 48° F., which is almost exactly the same as that of the southern half of England.

The fact that it was still summer when we recorded this temperature warned us to see that our equipment was in good condition.

Mr. Lowell's Mode of Estimating the Surface-temperature of Mars.

Water, by mere surface contact with air, takes up but little heat, while the air, having a chance to increase its temperature, absorbs water through the affinity of air for moisture, and thus carries over a volume of saturated hot air into the receiver and pipes, which on cooling, as it always does in transit to the mine, deposits its moisture and gives trouble through water and freezing.

Q.Then how could Mr. Watt find a temperature of 100° in the water drawn from the condenser, to be more beneficial than a temperature of 70° or 80°, supposing there to be an abundant supply of cold water? 333.

"The bar has now reached a temperature of about 700 degrees, and has become a dull red.

At Las Uvas every house is a piece of earththick walled, whitewashed adobe that keeps the even temperature of a cave; every man is an accomplished horseman and consequently bow-legged; every family keeps dogs, flea-bitten mongrels that loll on the earthen floors.

It is probable, that at the back of the flat burning coasts of Guinea, there exist in the centre of Africa, countries which enjoy a delightful temperature; as we see the vernal valley of Quito, situate under the same latitude with the destructive coasts of French Guyana, where the humid heat constantly cherishes the seeds of disease.

Our intemperance it is, that pulls so many several incurable diseases upon our heads, that hastens old age, perverts our temperature, and brings upon us sudden death.

Two other diagrams show the distribution of heat at the time of full-moon, one half of the curve showing the temperatures along the equator from the edge of the disc to the centre, the other along a meridian from this centre to the pole.

As I had been led to expect extremely low temperatures during the winter, I adopted precautionary measures, so as to be as comfortable as circumstances would permit during our stay there.
