But there was no purpose in his life. He had intermittent attacks of enthusiasm for doing great things, but his zeal all evaporated before he could decide what to do. This fatal defect in his character kept him balancing between conflicting motives; and his whole life was almost thrown away. He lacked power to choose one object and persevere with a single aim, sacrificing every interfering inclination. ...

In this state it would for ever remain a barren sand, had not Divine Providence given birth to the cocoa-nut tree, whose fruit is so protected with a hard shell, that after floating about for a twelve-month ...

The higher the temperature, the higher may be the evaporating pressure, and therefore the higher is the density of the vapor, the greater the weight of liquid evaporated in a given time, and the greater the amount of heat abstracted. On the other hand, it must be remembered that, as in the case of water, the lower the temperature of the evaporating liquid, the higher is the heat of vaporization. It is in ...
