Thus Wyndham breathing thickly, with his eyes ...

A larger size, measuring 6 ft. 2 in. high, and weighing about 23 cwt., will give 85 gallons; while a still larger one, measuring 7 ft. high and weighing 32 cwt., yields 150 gallons. These have no pumps. When an engine and pump are fitted, the ...

Onward still his way he takes, —The groaning earth beneath him shakes,— Till full before his fearless ...

Thus, if a mixture of water (boiling point 100 deg.) and alcohol (boiling point 78 deg.) is distilled, the alcohol, having the lower boiling point, tends to distill first, followed by the water. The separation of the two is not perfect, however, but may be made nearly so by repeated distillations. The process of separating a mixture of volatile substances by distillation is known as ...
