8504	At the beginning of the fourteenth month on being asked:"Wo ist dein Schrank?"
8504	At the end of ten years what has become of the line of tartar?
8504	At the same age on being asked,"Where is your beard?"
8504	In this case the patient wants the tooth out, but, he asks, what has become of the tartar?
8504	Now, because no tartar is found upon the tooth, does that argue that it has never been there?
8504	When asked:"Wer ist mir?"
38403	That is all very well to talk about,I hear some one say,"but what are they going to do with our prior investment?"
38403	Could any one do it as well as the present gas companies?
38403	In the first place, what assurance do we require?
38403	Incandescent electric light is just as surely finding its position and field of usefulness, and in its turn will assert its supremacy, and why?
38403	Is this a just reason why they should make no effort to secure their old patronage?
38403	Now, if this light is an ideal one, who is going to prevent its adoption by the public?
38403	Now, what comprises an ideal burner for domestic use?
38403	Shall we then say that the old divisions must be discarded because not absolute?
38403	That both will be introduced into every city in the United States before long by some one I have not a shadow of a doubt; and why?
38403	The first is no argument against it, for was not coal gas sold at exorbitant prices in its early days?
38403	The largest unoccupied field to- day is the fuel gas field, and who should step in and supply this demand?
38403	on our investment if we enter the field?
12594	( 2) Were standards of workmanship discovered and sustained?
12594	( 3) Was a broad as well as a working knowledge of subject matter acquired?
12594	( 4) Did the children approach established methods in a spirit of hospitality and of inquiry as to their validity?
12594	( 5) Did the problems create sufficient interest to arouse the desire and will to reject faulty methods, and introduce others of greater service?
12594	( 6) Was the enterprise a productive one from the point of view of the market and an educational one from the point of view of growth?
12594	But what shall we use this efficiency for?
12594	For the sake of Empire?
12594	For the sake of business?
12594	For the sake of the heritage?
12594	If still servant, will it serve more efficiently than it has our dominant institution, industry?
12594	Is it impossible for us to hold to our native experimental habits of life and attain standards of workmanship?
12594	Is it possible to realize the full strength of associated effort and at the same time advance wealth production?
12594	The practical test of the experiment briefly outlined would be:( 1) Was the creative impulse aroused?
12594	What does this waywardness of the worker to do his own way suggest?
8296	At the recent Medical Congress in London, Professor Klebs undertook to answer the question:"Are there specific organized causes of disease?"
8296	But has any kind of fly the property of producing malignant pustule by some specific inherent power of its own?
8296	Can it be made to pay?
8296	The engineer now comes on the stage and asks-- Can practical difficulties be got over?
8296	What good winter wheat patent to- day will do this?
8296	What is it that the electricity has lost?
8296	What, then, may not be expected in lower districts?
27867	Of course,replied the fellow,"for we_ feed_ ourselves, but for teaching we depend on_ you._"*****[ Illustration: The Reg(ulator?)]
27867	Well, how are you this morning?
27867	_ Utica_ asks, Need we keep dark any longer?
27867	Are you fond of coughs, colds, dyspepsia and rheums?
27867	But would you avoid the dark gloom of disease?
27867	Did you ever know such weather?
27867	Do our readers wish to hear any thing more about them?
27867	How many square inches aperture will be required to discharge the same quantity in the same time?
27867	Of bitters, hot- drops, and medicine fumes, And bleeding, and blisters and pills?
27867	Of headaches, and fevers and chills?
27867	The scholar so dull in his class?
27867	Then who pays those old accounts of yourself that was?"
27867	Well, what if he does?
27867	What astronomer had calculated this eclipse for Arabia?
27867	What makes the grave deacon so drowsy at church?
37609	''Dead, sir?'' 37609 Do the battery and the electrical machine produce different kinds of electricity, or is electricity one and the same in whatever way it is produced?"
37609	Do you mean to say that it would not require a stronger railway to carry the same weight at twelve miles an hour?
37609	Where?
37609	Would not that imply that the road must be perfect?
37609	But how overcome the difficulty of cost, and produce an electric current from burning coal or falling water?
37609	Could the current in Arago''s disk be collected and caused to flow through a wire?
37609	He was asked:"Have you seen a railroad that would stand a speed of twelve miles an hour?"
37609	How was this combination discovered, and how does it work?
37609	I said, hurriedly:''Would ten dollars be of any service?''
37609	Is anything left in the bulb around the carbon thread?
37609	Is the bulb really empty after the air is pumped out?
37609	Is there anything between the earth and the sun through which this light can pass?
37609	Then he noticed what he had done, and the thought occurred to him:"Why not pass an electric current through this thread of carbon?"
37609	What supports a kite or a bird as it soars?
37609	What was the secret of it?
13399	And, who knows?
13399	Came it from the air, or from the soil underneath?
13399	Does not this money belong to my client, as an overcharge unconsciously paid by him for my benefit?
13399	I counsel the young man thus tempted to ask himself, Am I entitled to pay from the manufacturer who offers it?
13399	If not, will my self- respect permit me to become his debtor for a gratuity to which I have no claim?
13399	If so, for what?
13399	If this is denied, can I resist the conclusion that it is a bribe to command future services at my hands?
13399	Is it probable they make it a part of their business policy to give something for nothing?
13399	On some occasions the soil certainly got wetter on the surface, but the question still remains, Whence the vapor?
13399	The question arises, What pecuniary advantage does it offer?
13399	Why do manufacturers pay commissions?
11498	How have we attained such success?
11498	I have often heard it asked,"But can the system be profitably adapted to small works?"
11498	If we now return to the question, What can be well done in brickwork?
11498	Quest.--Are they more expensive than ordinary flat belting?
11498	Quest.--Can they be run on ordinary flat pulleys?
11498	Quest.--Have these belts any special advantage over flat leather belting?

11498	Quest.--What is the relative strength of a link belt compared to flat belting?
11498	Quest.--Why do they give better results when run slow?
11498	Quest.--Would you advise link belts for high rate of speed?
11498	Question.--Can these link belts be used on dynamos for electric lights?
11498	The question naturally arises, Why did not the iron run through the holes and join together?
11498	[ Illustration: ENGLISH HINGE JOINT:] Quest.--How are they made endless?
11498	[ Illustration] Quest.--Can they be run in wet places, such as mines, etc.?
14041	And their numberless billions, springing every moment into existence wherever putrescence appeared, led to the question, How do they originate?
14041	And why?
14041	As to the second part of my subject,"What length of time may a car safely remain in service before being taken in for revarnishing?"
14041	But how?
14041	By what means?
14041	Do they spring up_ de novo_ from the highest point on the area of_ not- life_, which they touch?
14041	From universally diffused eggs, or from the direct physical change of dead matter into living forms?
14041	How did they arise?
14041	In the face of some experimental facts one was tempted to inquire: Have these spores any capacity to resist heat greater than the adults?
14041	Now the question before us is,"How did these organisms arise?"
14041	Then the ground is cleared for the strictly biological inquiry, How do they originate?
14041	What need, then, of spontaneous generation?
14041	Why should it be otherwise here?

8391	What,said the lecturer,"do these examples show you?"
8391	Could it be possible that there are portions of the solar surface that fail to send out light?
8391	How is it then that, after so many years, it was found in Europe?
8391	In respect to the old conundrum,"Will saltpetre explode?"
8391	The question arises: How is it these particles arrange themselves to form an image?
8391	Was it from steam-- at a low pressure perhaps-- seeking vent through the roof in like manner to the raising of the kettle- lid?
8391	_ Query:_ Was this like the common lifting and falling back of the loose lid of a tea- kettle containing boiling water?
11662	But what is a shuttle?
11662	Can you not invent a method of working from a reel direct?"
11662	Have the engineers of the Essen works improved their processes of manufacture since that epoch?
11662	How could we be?
11662	Is there a pile of this kind so constant as not to render a rigorously accurate adjustment illusory?
11662	It is scarcely necessary to ask, Has this been so?
11662	Jealous of that?
11662	Must the numerous accidents mentioned be attributed to defects in the metal employed?
11662	Of what elements shall this constant battery be formed?
11662	The history of the sewing machine, and the decision of the great question, Who invented an apparatus that would unite fabrics by stitches?
11662	The important question is, What would the necessary alterations cost?
11662	Were they due to defective hooping?
11662	Were they due to some one of the numerous inconveniences inherent to the cylindrico- prismatic system of closing(_ Rundkeilverschluss_)?
11662	What, in fact, are the conditions essential for their proper working?
11662	Why is this, and how is it that a very big shuttle can not be used, large enough, indeed, to accommodate any bobbin within itself?
11662	Why, indeed?
11662	Will this exhibition awaken general interest, or will it prove a local affair simply?

19180	5.--SORGHUM MOLASSES.--How can I separate the molasses from the sugar, in sorghum sugar mush, to make a dry merchantable sugar?
19180	6.--FLUX FOR ALUMINUM.--Will some of your readers tell me, through your columns, the best flux to use in melting and mixing aluminum and copper?
19180	And now, to what extent does the reader suppose this dependence exists?
19180	But it can be carded, and if the Chinese can make excellent silk goods from it, why can not we?
19180	Did the wasp anticipate this fact, and therefore carry off the anterior part first?
19180	How can I make some money?
19180	How can we hope to obtain a correct solution when he rubs out one of the terms of the equation?

5763	Industrious, temperate, and regular in his habits?
5763	Is he honest? 5763 Are you, then, your own master? 5763 Ask concerning a man,Is he active and capable?"
5763	Dost thou love life?
5763	Honeysuckle-- Dost thou love me?
5763	If you were a servant, would you not be ashamed that a good master should catch you idle?
5763	Saffron-- Marriage-- when?
5763	This is done by pricking him with a pin; for instance, you may say to the horse, is your name Tom?
5763	What is a butterfly?
5763	and at that moment prick him with a pin so that he will squeal; then ask him is your name Sam?
5763	is he trustworthy?"
8717	But the question arises,"Will the moths obtained from these cocoons be susceptible of reproduction?"
8717	It looks well on paper, but do the facts of the case correspond?
8717	Now what does this show?
8717	The question has been asked,"What is the chemically scientific definition of crystallization?"
8717	Then what change has taken place?
8717	What, indeed, was that for men like them?
8717	ocellatus_?
15050	But how was the position of the bead found?
15050	Dreams and phantasms, as Spencer believes?
15050	How, then, does it happen that these coal tar colors have been so long and so seriously maligned by the general public?
15050	Is a fugitive color rendered faster by being applied along with a fast color?
15050	Is it strange that wise economists point to this territory and say,"Behold the future empire of the world"?
15050	Is not the dyer bewildered with an_ embarras de richesses_, so that he knows not where to choose?
15050	Is there not surely an overproduction of these fugitive coal tar colors?
15050	It must have had some foundation in fact, and the question arises, What was this foundation?
15050	Knowing the efficacy of mordants with certain coloring matters, is there no mordant which we can generally apply with this desirable object in view?
15050	May not the former have given rise to the latter?
15050	Not unfrequently one is asked the question, Is there no method whereby these fugitive colors can be made fast?
15050	What sort of conduct produces in our conscience pleasure and what sort of conduct induces pain?
15050	What then is good conduct, or bad?
15050	Where in the wide world is another valley in which climate, latitude and nature have been so liberal?
15050	Where is the drilling machine that will approach that with a single drill?
8484	Are there any other advantages to be gained by so placing it?
8484	But why must the aperture be larger than the diaphragm employed?
8484	By what peculiarity of our minds do we seem to expect the speed of an animal to be in proportion to its size?
8484	Is it not a fact that small animals often owe their escape to their want of swiftness, which enables them to change their direction readily?
8484	Is it thus, when the aperture is equal to the diameter of the objective?
8484	Upon placing the guillotine shutter in the optical center of the objective, what will occur?
8484	What is understood by instantaneousness?
8484	Would not Nature have done better for the mouse had she suppressed the cat?
38191	But where did you get it?
38191	But was ever work so often broken in upon?
38191	But was it not his most direct road to fortune?
38191	Did he perhaps see dimly even then that he was to be the man who should throw out the old- fashioned hand- wheel?
38191	He scooped turnips hollow, and lighted up the insides with candles-- but what boy has not experimented in the same way?
38191	His fine eyes and beautiful forehead interested me, and I said,''What book is that?''
38191	Sarnia, do you get what I say?"
38191	So it flashed into his brain-- why not print a paper on the train?
38191	This sharp lesson humbled my conceit, and I determined to redouble my exertions...."May he perhaps have over- estimated his own skill?
38191	Was it this made him say with Napoleon,"Nothing is impossible"?
38191	Was there ever so idle a dog?
38191	Was this time prophetic of those later years when he would hold men and women fascinated by the charm of his conversation?

14989	What would be thought of a cause which would weaken the legs of that boy so that he would have to use crutches to carry him through life?
14989	Would not a casual traveler have described such savages as worse than the negroes of Dahomey?
14989	how is it to be accounted for?
14009	***** CAN WE SEPARATE ANIMALS FROM PLANTS?
14009	And who can prognosticate but that in the next decade an entire revolution in the ætiology and treatment of many diseases may take place?
14009	But how much is the spurious resistance during that time?
14009	How does the need for rapid working, and the question of time constant, affect the best mode of grouping the battery cells?
14009	Is there any danger of confusing a bird with the tree amid the foliage of which it builds its nest, or of mistaking a cow for the grass it eats?
14009	It becomes necessary then for us to inquire: If bacteria cause disease, in what manner do they produce it?
14009	Now suppose I take a little round rod of iron, about an inch long, and put it into the end of the tube, what will happen when I turn on my current?
14009	The question then arises, What function shall the national department perform?

8950	Does he instinctively know what corns, when three or four inches beneath the ground, are thus affected?
8950	How many are acquainted with the fact that in hard winters, when pressed for food, crows do this likewise?
8950	This property of adhering to smooth surfaces explains perhaps the power of the Eucalyptus globulus in arresting the progress of paludal miasm(?).

11383	Can this be done?
11383	If this be perfection, can we expect the_ eye_ of ordinary mortal to reach it?
11383	Is that all?
11383	Is there wonder that the task is a discouraging one for the deaf child?
11383	The first question that presents itself is this: What is the measure or amount of this deflection?
11383	Under these conditions, what is the force which is being exerted on this body?
11383	Vanadium?
11383	What is the deflecting force actually exerted upon it?
11383	What, then, is centrifugal force?
11383	Where, then, is the centrifugal force?

9163	From this arises naturally the question, what quantity of vapor must be produced in a room in order to kill the bacteria in its atmosphere?

9163	How was this point to be ascertained?
9163	If the latter is hung in a warm room, decomposition will soon take place in it; will the same thing happen to the other cylinder?
9163	If we know the size of the room, shall we be able tell?
9163	In conclusion, I would ask, what can we as practical men gather from these experiments?
9163	Next came the question, what would be the best form of substructure for the new mode of conveyance?
9163	The question arises, how strong must this vapor be in carbolic acid to act as an antiseptic?

34459	A reed has for centuries been a favourite example of weakness and untrustworthiness, so how can reeds be made to form a safe bridge?
34459	Again, let us suppose that while the air is absent the force of gravity comes into play, what effect will that have?
34459	And now we can consider the first great feature of this wonderful invention and ask ourselves these questions:"By what means is it made to open?"
34459	And now, how about the methyl alcohol?

44188	Is it any wonder that the temperature goes up?
44188	Is it not"perpetual motion"?

404	How had they been made?
404	How had writing assumed so remarkable a form?
404	How was it that existing hammers were incapable of forging a wrought- iron shaft of thirty inches diameter?
404	Was there any turner in the neighbourhood?
404	What am I to do?
404	What has given us our Armstrongs, Whitworths, and Fairbairns, but the free industry of this country?
404	What were they?
404	Where did they come from?
404	Who first applied fire to the ore, and made it plastic; who discovered fire itself, and its uses in metallurgy?
404	Who invented the eccentric?
404	Who invented the fast and loose pulley?
404	Who invented the watch as a measurer of time?

404	Writing to Dr. Roebuck on one occasion, he said,"You ask what is the principal hindrance in erecting engines?
404	said Galloway,"can you draw?
46512	Dost thou love life? 46512 --Which was the best way, and why? 46512 And is there killing competition in the class to which my invention belongs? 46512 But how can you be SURE you_ are_ right? 46512 Can my invention be made to do better work by putting in gears in place of that sprocket chain? 46512 Can they do so at a good profit? 46512 Can you manufacture your invention and sell it at a good profit in competition with others? 46512 Do we know better? 46512 Fifth: Is there a large, constant, public demand for my invention, or its product? 46512 First: Would it be possible to cover my idea or invention by a good, strong, basic patent? 46512 For instance, the perfected telephote? 46512 Fourth: Does my idea possess conspicuous novelty and superior merit over similar devices already on the market? 46512 Has it good selling and talking points, or do you need to make excuses for it? 46512 How manyblasted hopes,"vanishing"air castles"; how much poverty, how many wrecked homes, how many suicides( but why prolong this list?)
46512	In the course of the same examination he was asked,"But would not men and animals become frightened by the red hot smoke pipe?"
46512	Is the field now over- crowded?
46512	Is there a large, constant, public demand for my invention or its product?
46512	Second: Is my invention mechanically practicable?
46512	Sixth: Is there killing competition in the class to which my invention belongs?
46512	The seal was just as red, the ribbon just as blue, they cost just as much, the drawings were just as clear-- then why did they fail?
46512	Then what happens?
46512	Third: Can my invention be more cheaply manufactured than similar devices already on the market?
46512	What will be the next wonderful invention?
46512	Who will have the temerity to say when and where this development will stop, when Solomon, centuries ago, thought they had reached the limit?
46512	Why did they fail?
46512	Why?
46512	Will a stranger to you buy your invention in preference to the ones already on the market?
46512	Will the wholesalers handle it?
46512	Wo n''t a cotter pin be cheaper and better in place of that nut?
46512	Wo n''t a steel casting be cheaper and better than that expensive machined steel bearing?
46512	Would canvas be cheaper and better than leather in that belt?
46512	Would not my machine do better work and cost less if I stuck to just this one operation?
46512	to which question Stephenson replied,"But how would they know that it was not painted?"
13266	But what did you mean to take?
13266	Then you mean that we shall construe it our own way?
13266	; if so, to what extent; what is their value?
13266	And if nothing was said by us evidencing such an abandonment of the demand, what answer have you ever made to such a demand?
13266	And who can be assured that by continually increasing in our colonies they will not one day become formidable enemies?
13266	And who is not?
13266	Can the mind of man conceive a more resplendent territory?
13266	Can we depend upon slaves who are only attached to us by fear and for whom the very land where they are born has not the dear name of mother country?"
13266	Can you advise me how long you expect to remain in Washington?
13266	Can you give an approximate estimate of the proportional number of exhibits by women contained in these classes?
13266	Have any steps been taken to indicate on which of these committees you are to make appointments?
13266	He asked,"Did they not call you up?"
13266	He said to me,"Mr. Krug, your bid is very satisfactory, but why have you not submitted a bid on all the buildings shown in the specifications?"
13266	He was, therefore, greatly surprised by a question from Talleyrand, in which he was asked"What we would give for the whole tract?"
13266	I stood up then and spoke to President Francis and said,"President Francis, how do you know but that this bid of Mr. Evans may be a dummy?"
13266	If so, how?
13266	In what way did their work( or exhibits) differ from their work( or exhibits) of the past?
13266	Now, then, have you any notice of on which juries you are to be allowed to name a juror?
13266	On April 11 Talleyrand asked Livingston"whether he wished to have the whole of Louisiana?"
13266	Should it be hired labor of freemen or the compulsory labor of the imported negro?
13266	Was the work of women as well appreciated when placed by the side of that of men?
13266	Were any of the exhibits of women developments of original inventions, or an improvement on the work of some prior inventor?
13266	Were they shown in such manner as to indicate in any way, or to enable you to distinguish, which part had been performed by women, which by men?
13266	What advancement did they show in the progress of women in any special industry, art, science, etc.?
13266	What can you say of the skill and ingenuity displayed in the invention, construction, or application?
13266	What of the merits of the installation as to the ingenuity and taste displayed, and its value as an exposition attraction?
13266	What proportion of women received awards in your group or classes?
13266	What proportion, or, approximately, what number, of exhibits were installed by foreign women?
13266	What service will the Commission require from the board between the opening and closing of the exposition?
13266	What special work does the Commission desire the board to perform before the opening of the exposition?
13266	Which, in your opinion, were the most striking exhibits by women in your department?
13266	Who can estimate the good done by this noble army?
13266	Who knows?
13266	Why, then, were not the bids opened in public, thus securing the largest amount for the exposition and for the stockholders?
13266	Would the results have been better if their work had been separately exhibited?

40276	Yes,said Fanchon;"but Harry says,''The rapid car is to come, and I dare say that will be accomplished soon, papa; do not you think it will?''"
40276	You shall not talk such stuff.--Uncle Fritz, what books shall I bring you?
40276	''But what has Eli been doing?''
40276	And if magic had not got a bad name, should we not call the men of science magicians now?"
40276	And then Archimedes pokes his head out through one of the holes, and says in Greek,''How do you like that, my friends?''
40276	And upon a time went the burgesses''daughters to play in the palace and beheld the metal man; and one of them asked in sport, why he shot not?
40276	And with this he sang him a song to his own music as to times and seasons, and went on,"Do you tell us, Copper- nose, when Time is?
40276	But what substance?
40276	Can we wonder that his neighbors thought him mad?
40276	Did he not invent hot baths?"
40276	Did his eyes deceive him?
40276	Do you not know that it is not nice to interrupt?"
40276	Do you remember that part where Frank lifted up the skirts of his coat when passing through the greenhouse?"
40276	Do you use this in America?''
40276	Give him but an oven and would he not turn you out fire- proof and cold- proof India- rubber, as fast as a baker can produce loaves of bread?
40276	He had tried all sorts of materials; why had none of them melted?
40276	He said to himself:"Why be sad, when you have found what you were seeking for?
40276	He then addressed himself to me, and said,''Benvenuto, if you had the opportunity, would you have the heart to make an attempt to fly?''
40276	How was I to communicate my wishes to the landlady?
40276	Now really, Uncle Fritz, you must n''t laugh; but do you not think that most of the people whose lives we read have to begin horridly?
40276	The question then occurred, How was this to be avoided or remedied?
40276	Then called the devil dreadfully to Virgilius and said,"What have ye done?"
40276	They will say,"What was the ban on those men, what numbed them or held them still, as if in fear?
40276	WHAT CAREER?
40276	Was he married to all five at once?
40276	Was it to be a failure or a success?
40276	What hath all my knowledge of nature''s secrets gained me?
40276	When I arose, which was not till about noon, she accosted me in high spirits, and said merrily,''Is this the man that thought himself dying?
40276	Who has seen any of his work?"
40276	Why could they not embody them in useful inventions?
40276	Why did they not apply in daily life their own great discoveries of the central laws of Nature?
40276	Will the Vesuvius pass its dividend, or will it scatter its blessings right and left, so that we can go to Paris and all the world be happy?"
40276	said Blanche, in mock heroics;"are you in the sacred circle which decides?
40276	said Fergus;"and then may we not burn up old Fogarty''s barn with burning- glasses?"
40276	to all of them when he was only fourteen?
43965	And was his brain always in condition to receive such a picture, or only seldom?
43965	But can we even imagine civilization to exist as it exists today, if stereotyping had not been invented?
43965	But how could he get across the channel, in the face of the British fleet?
43965	But what do we know of in nature that looks like a wheel, or that is used for a similar purpose?
43965	But will they together produce happiness?
43965	But would not these take from us our God- granted free will?
43965	But would this be true?
43965	Can anyone imagine the New York of today without passenger elevators?
43965	Can anyone suppose that the steam engine, or the electric telegraph, or the powder- gun took us as long a step upward to civilization as did papyrus?
43965	Can anyone think that the telephone was as novel or as important as the wheel?
43965	Can anything be less inspiring than C= E/ R?
43965	Can this happen to our Machine?
43965	Courage?
43965	Did Cæsar make an invention?
43965	Does he know that his invention is now used all over the civilized world?
43965	Does not this process involve invention, in cases where the possible occasions are not of the ordinary and expectable kind?
43965	For what greater pleasure is there than in expending one''s natural energies under pleasant conditions?
43965	Genius?
43965	Has this influence been beneficent?
43965	How has she been able to do it?
43965	If it was not invented, how was it brought into being?
43965	If it was, who was the inventor?
43965	If so, does the knowledge give him pleasure?
43965	In such cases, does it not require imagination to foresee the possible occasions, and form a correct picture on the mind of the resulting situations?
43965	In the same year the discovery( or was it the invention?)
43965	In this sense, may I reverently claim the Christian Religion as an invention, one of the greatest inventions ever made?
43965	In what did its superiority consist?
43965	In what direction will it proceed?
43965	Is the condition of anarchy more abnormal than the condition of law and order?
43965	Is this fact realized?
43965	Now is there any one thing more dangerous to a man than to carry in his mind an incorrect picture of himself?
43965	Of the two changes, it would be easy to say that the change made in the men is the more important; but would it be truthful to say so?
43965	Of what are they receptive?
43965	Of what avail is it to train men to handle the separate parts of the Machine, if the Machine as a whole is to be handled by untrained men?
43965	The thought of doing it must have come to him:--how else could he get it?
43965	This being done, does it not require the exercise of the constructive faculty afterwards, to make a concrete and effective plan to meet them?
43965	This did not occur until about the year 1434 A. D. Why had not someone done this in all the long centuries?
43965	Was there a difference mentally?

43965	Why can not some one invent a device that will automatically regulate our intake valves?
43965	Why did the world wait several thousand years before Wise invented the metal pen?
43965	Why had Spain fallen so far below a country so new, living three thousand miles away from the civilization of Europe?
43965	Why had it not occurred to them?
43965	Why is ignorance of the parts and the whole of their respective responsibilities permitted in officials occupying higher places in the governments?
43965	Why was the sewing- machine not invented before?
43965	Why, why?
43965	Why?
43965	Will anyone declare that the railroad ushered in as great an epoch as the sailing ship?
43965	Would not all the business of New York be paralyzed in a single day?
43965	Would not the whole civilized world be thrown into chaos as soon as the fact were realized?
43965	Would there not be a panic within twenty- four hours or less?
43965	_ Never?_ It may never occur; but something approximating it will occur, if history is to be as much like past history as history usually has been.
43965	_ Why?_ It is followed in all civilized armies and navies.
43965	in what way did it help him to win so many victories and extricate himself from so many perilous situations?

38367	_ Q._ Do you consider, therefore, that the introduction of machinery is objectionable? 38367 And does not all this machinery, and this economy of labour, it may still be said, deprive many workmen of employment? 38367 And how did Arkwright effect this great revolution? 38367 And how did we learn these modes? 38367 And how does the Englishman obtain his knife upon such easy terms? 38367 And what has quadrupled the population? 38367 And what is to set them to that work? 38367 And who can doubt, that the nearer we approach to this state, the better will it be for the general condition of mankind? 38367 And why did he die of grief and penury? 38367 And why not? 38367 And why? 38367 Are there fewer servants now employed than in those times of barbarous state? 38367 Boulton?

47258	A tunnel? 47258 Alice, what is there in this sauce?"
47258	Alice,broke in Mabel,"what else is in the soup beside pepper?
47258	And do you think that every farmer does all his planting by hand? 47258 Are electric cars coming into general use?"
47258	Belper, the town of Belper? 47258 But do you realize what an inconvenience this ferry causes?
47258	But what causes the traffic and where are all the vessels going?
47258	Can you raise vegetables or grain in the woods?
47258	Can you tell us what it is, James?
47258	Did I understand you to say that this is a sleeper?
47258	Did you say that there was no smoke?
47258	Do n''t you see,said the drummer,"how attaching a dining car to a train required another change also?
47258	Do you know where Sumatra is, Mabel?
47258	Do you not think that these are remarkably fresh after having been brought so far?
47258	Does not that look like charcoal?
47258	For what, my dear friend?
47258	Fred, how would the black pepper be brought to New York from Sumatra?
47258	Friend Lewis,said Mr. Blank,"where have thee and our friend been, and where bound?"
47258	Have you tried the California lemons yet?
47258	How about the lettuce?
47258	How can they be compared?
47258	How far have these cars come that I see on the ferry?
47258	How is it, Henry, that we did not feel the wind as we passed from car to car? 47258 I wonder whether the Sandwich Islands, being now a part of the United States, will interfere with the raising of sugar cane in our Southern States?"
47258	Is it indeed so much?
47258	Is my mother yet alive? 47258 Is not that something new?"
47258	Is that the way grain is harvested?
47258	Oh, Miss Turner, what is this curious- looking thing in this part of the seat- stone?
47258	Steamers and railroad trains seem necessary for our dinner, do they not?
47258	Suppose that all the forests in this country had been destroyed,the class was asked,"what would the people have done for fuel?"
47258	Then if he desires apples, does he plant apples?
47258	This car is wider than ours used to be, is it not?
47258	Uncle,remarked the drummer,"how does this canal compare with the Delaware and Hudson canal, with which you were familiar?"
47258	Well, Charles, how do you purpose to go to the city to- day? 47258 Well, now, it''s a full twelvemonth since I was around here afore, and do ye want me to make up their winter shoes for''em?"
47258	Well, them that''s old enough goes to school, if that''s what you mean?
47258	What are we going to do for meat when the natural increase in the amount of land devoted to cultivation uses up all the grazing regions?
47258	What do you burn in the stoves in your houses?
47258	What do you call this pudding, Alice?
47258	What do you expect will be done?
47258	What do you mean by two kinds of pepper, brother George?
47258	What do you suppose our ancestors thought of these forests? 47258 What else is there in the sauce, Alice?"
47258	What is the meanin''of that speech?
47258	What part of Derbyshire?
47258	What was the cost of making the copy of our sacred writings for the Queen of Sheba? 47258 Where does the butter come from?"
47258	Why do you call it a rarity?
47258	Would not such a tunnel be dark and damp, dirty and unhealthy in every sense?
47258	Would you plant a kernel of corn in just the same way that you would a potato?
47258	After another pause the shy little girl asked,"Did n''t they have more forests then than now?"
47258	Are they trying to run us down?"
47258	Are ye givin''''em all good healthy understandin''?"
47258	Besides, if they had wished to travel, where could they have gone?
47258	But do you know, Frank, where the apples were grown?"
47258	But to answer your question by asking another, Did you ever hear of weeds?"
47258	But was there not some way to avoid carrying so much freight in wagons drawn by horses?
47258	But what better fortune could they expect at Naumkeag?
47258	But what do you think of a tunnel?"
47258	But what is that compared to the greater wonders of the telephone?
47258	But what is this coal and where does it come from?"
47258	But what makes the train move?
47258	But what would you do?
47258	But where do we get black pepper?"
47258	But who knows how much assistance his skill in drawing may have been to him in his preparations of plans and models?
47258	Can we look forward to the changes that may come in the future in the methods of heating our houses and cooking our food?
47258	Can we see any improvement in this rough cottage over the Indian long house?
47258	Can you explain it to me?"
47258	Can you imagine a time, still further back, when none of the houses in your city or village were standing?
47258	Can you think back still further to a time when the house in which you live had not been built?
47258	Corliss, why did not you drive wooden piles on which to build your foundation?''
47258	Could he be expected to invent a machine that would separate the cotton seed which he had never seen from the raw cotton which also he had never seen?
47258	Could not some method be devised so that the spading or tilling could be done by horses or oxen?
47258	Could the_ Clermont_ reach Albany in thirty- seven hours, or a day and a half?
47258	Did you notice that machine shop which we passed when we were in Cleveland a few days ago?
47258	Did you see those furnaces with the huge volumes of flame bursting out of the open doors?
47258	Do n''t you know that if he wants potatoes he plants potatoes?"
47258	Do you know of any old buildings that have been torn down in order that larger or better ones might take their places?
47258	Does he not have tools to help him?"
47258	Has n''t He filled your quiver full of childers?
47258	Has the farmer nothing to plant but potatoes?"
47258	Have any new houses been built?
47258	Have we gained in knowledge and manner of living as greatly as in heating and lighting our houses?
47258	Have you ever thought that men or human beings are very much like other animals?
47258	Have you ever tried to find out the important differences between man and what are called the lower animals?
47258	Have you seen any changes near where you live since you can remember?
47258	Have you watched men making a new street or road, or, perhaps, working upon an old road to make it better?
47258	Here the governor sprang from his seat, and staring at Ben, cried out:"Well, and where did you get your education, pray?"
47258	How are my brothers and sisters?
47258	How did our ancestors obtain it?
47258	How early in human history was the eye made for the needle?
47258	How is my old master, Mr. Strutt?
47258	How long will it be before his next two lines will also prove a reality?
47258	How many shekels have been paid to the scribes for their work?"
47258	How shall we get it?
47258	How should we be able to- day to transact business under such conditions?
47258	How was it held together?
47258	How was it made?
47258	I mean, have they all good soles on which to keep their bodies healthy?"
47258	If steam could aid water navigation, could it not be used in land travel?
47258	If the heavens refuse to send rain to moisten the parched ground, can not the needed water be obtained in some other way?
47258	If, however, no neighbors were near and coals could not be borrowed, how under circumstances like these could a new fire be kindled?
47258	In the earlier times what was the mantle that covered the human person?
47258	In this country, covered with forests, were there only wild animals?
47258	Indeed, is not the lighthouse itself a great lesson in morals?
47258	Is salt also brought half- way round the world?"
47258	Is the old schoolmaster Jackson living?"
47258	Is there a chance for further improvement?
47258	It is halibut, is it not?"
47258	Might it not be possible to build a telegraph line from Europe, starting from some point in Russia, across Northern Asia, to the Behring Straits?
47258	Mr. Wilkinson took him to his brother''s house and said:"I have brought one of your countrymen to see you; can you find anything for him to do?"
47258	Not under the river?
47258	Of course he hurried, for was not mother all dressed and not a bit of fire in the house?
47258	Rather a fantastic garb for a missionary, was n''t it?"
47258	Shall we change again, and for a time let our heads get cool while we warm our feet?
47258	Should he stay away from divine service?
47258	Suddenly John exclaimed,"What are they doing?
47258	The hunter needed the bird, for he was hungry, but how was he to obtain it?
47258	The next morning, as the travelers went down to breakfast, the younger man asked,"Well, uncle, how did you sleep?"
47258	The next thing a farmer does in the spring is to plant his potatoes and corn, is it not?"
47258	There was a pause for a time; then one boy asked,"Did n''t they burn just what we burn?"
47258	Under what circumstances was the remark made?
47258	Upon what do you suppose those letters, sent so long ago and preserved to the present time, were written?
47258	Was all the time and money so far spent thrown away?
47258	Was it not Emerson who said that the thumb is the symbol of civilization?
47258	Was it possible to make rivers, or at least to make water- ways, upon which boats might be used?
47258	Was the trial to succeed or fail?
47258	Was there any chance for further improvement?
47258	Was there any other way to connect the two worlds by an electric wire?
47258	We may now ask what was the object of all this whale fishery?
47258	Were there no human beings: no men, nor women, nor children?
47258	Were they glad to see them, or did they wish that they covered less ground?"
47258	What can the cow give me for my third finger?"

47258	What did the people do for light on a dark night in those times?
47258	What do they do all summer?"
47258	What do you mean?"
47258	What does he do if he wants one rather than the other?"
47258	What does he do that for?"
47258	What has made the change?
47258	What have you been in the habit of having?"
47258	What interest had these colonists in travel?
47258	What is a canal?
47258	What is the difference between a dog and a boy, or, rather, what is the difference between the brute creation and mankind?
47258	What may I call your name?"
47258	What more could be asked of any machine?
47258	What power is great enough to do this?
47258	What powers have we found used in transportation up to a hundred years ago?
47258	What present could be more appropriate, more honorable to him, more welcome to her, or more acceptable to Jehovah, the God of his people Israel?

47258	What was that great machine that they were approaching?
47258	What were the two men to do?
47258	What will be the next wonderful invention?
47258	What would a boy of the year 1800, could he return to the earth, say to see you strike a match, turn a stopcock, and light the gas as you do to- day?
47258	What would this writer say to the safety of the trains of to- day, as they make forty fifty, sixty, and even seventy miles an hour?
47258	What, then, is fire?
47258	When was thread first used for the seam?
47258	Where?
47258	Why did not the Indian build a chimney?
47258	Why does it not go out at the top?
47258	Why had they not begun earlier?
47258	Why?
47258	With what was the sewing thereof?
47258	Would you not like to see the needles that were in use hundreds of years ago?
47258	You have no seasoning at all in the soup, have you, Alice?"
47258	and is its only use that of changing quiet, liquid water into powerful steam?
47258	and is n''t that the greatest blessing the Almighty can bestow on man that is a sinner?"
47258	said the old man,"shear the cosset in January?
47258	the press does thunder, literally, does it not?
47258	what number?"
47258	when the street in front of your house had not been made?
47258	when there were no streets at all within sight of the place where you live?
47258	who is it?"
33146	''Any train along here soon?'' 33146 ''Do you men know where to shoot?''
33146	''Is she a fast train?'' 33146 ''Then, where shall we shoot?''
33146	''What are you doing?'' 33146 ''What ye lookin''at, little boys?''
33146	''Which way?'' 33146 A chimney?"
33146	And does triple somersaults by the sense of time?
33146	And funny? 33146 And he dives by the sense of time?"
33146	And he went up hanging by his foot?
33146	And it was at the very top?
33146	And the woman?
33146	And you drew yourself slowly up and around and over that ball?
33146	And your--"My partner? 33146 Any sharks?"
33146	Are n''t you ever afraid of falling?
33146	Badly hurt?
33146	Can a man regulate the speed of his turning while he is in the air?
33146	Can you know with precision,I asked,"about these varying currents?"
33146	Can you see up into the balloon,I asked,"through the mouth?"
33146	Crack?
33146	Did it end in a romance?
33146	Did n''t you look for the bar before you made the leap?
33146	Did n''t you save any lions or tigers?
33146	Did they kill Syd?
33146	Did you ever have an experience of this kind yourself?
33146	Did you ever have an impulse to jump off a steeple?
33146	Did you ever have any experiences with lightning?
33146	Did you say you have breathed hydrogen?
33146	Do I?
33146	Do n''t you call that man brave?
33146	Do n''t you think that balloon is rather small?
33146	Do n''t, eh?
33146	Do steeple- climbers always work in pairs?
33146	Do you ever think of their faces?
33146	Do you go up?
33146	Do you mean that literally?
33146	Do you think they are very great?
33146	Do?
33146	Does it make any noise?
33146	Does n''t love me, does he?
33146	Ever come near it?
33146	Ever go off the track?
33146	Ever have a feeling of fear?
33146	Ever have an accident yourself?
33146	Ever kill anybody?
33146	Frightened to death?
33146	Have you lost any lives?
33146	Hear what? 33146 His white trousers?"
33146	Hit by the falls?
33146	Hit her? 33146 Hog under the wheels?"
33146	Hold on,said I;"how did your circus train happen to stop when the cage fell off?"
33146	How about that car of ours the other day up in central New York?
33146	How about that steamer you were telling about,I asked;"the one that was wrecked on the bar?
33146	How about thunder- storms?
33146	How big was this balloon?
33146	How can a diver live with his helmet off?
33146	How can you do your work,I asked,"if you are in such distress?"
33146	How deep can a diver go down?
33146	How did he know it?
33146	How did it get there?
33146	How did you get up that fifteen feet?
33146	How do you get them up?
33146	How do you mean, getting the time perfect?
33146	How do you teach them to stand on their heads and on their hind legs?
33146	How does that affect you?
33146	How does the hammer- man catch these red- hot bolts?
33146	How high is that?
33146	How large are the cartridges?
33146	How long would he live, do you think,I asked,"if the pump should stop?"
33146	How many men did Caughnawaga send on this expedition?
33146	How much of a step?
33146	How much time? 33146 How near did you get to the_ Bremen_?"
33146	How-- fast?
33146	How?
33146	I suppose he was afraid?
33146	I suppose that settled the question of stopping a hose with your thumb?
33146	I suppose you do n''t usually see much under water?
33146	I told him I thought I could do the job myself, so why should n''t he? 33146 Is n''t a parachute pretty long when it hangs down?"
33146	Is n''t there danger,I asked,"that a steeple may get swaying too much, say in a gale, and go clear over?"
33146	Is n''t there some exaggeration,I asked,"in what you said about shooting an elephant full of holes without killing him?"
33146	Is that based on calculation,said I,"or is it a joke?"
33146	Is there danger to a balloon in a thunderstorm?
33146	It ca n''t be,said I,"that in one of these straight drops a gymnast is guided only by his sense of time?"
33146	Make Burlington on time?
33146	No, they said it was lightning; but it''s queer how lightning could kill a man without being seen, is n''t it?
33146	No,said I;"what is it?"
33146	Not hungry? 33146 Oh,"said I;"and-- and who is Louis Jackson?"
33146	Pilots?
33146	Really?
33146	Saddles?
33146	Some queer cargo?
33146	Suppose a man were to shoot a rifle- ball into one of these cars,I asked,"do you think it would explode?"
33146	Suppose your life- line had been jammed, too,I asked,"so that you could n''t jerk''slack away''?"
33146	Taking it altogether,I asked,"do you men regard a pilot''s life as very dangerous?"
33146	Then you think dynamite- workers have no great need of courage?
33146	Then, how can you cut her loose from''way down on the bar?
33146	Think you can keep your head up there?
33146	Up by New Rochelle?
33146	Want to leave any address?
33146	Was he badly hurt?
33146	Was it to see better?
33146	Wash a tunnel out?
33146	Went mad?
33146	Were you standing inside the balloon so that you had to breathe hydrogen?
33146	What did the Dutchman say?
33146	What did we do? 33146 What did you take it for?"
33146	What do you do about it?
33146	What does he do?
33146	What does he pack?
33146	What if he had n''t noticed it?
33146	What is it?
33146	What is the use,says he,"of fighting the wind when you can make the wind fight for you?
33146	What kind of men make bridge- men?
33146	What sort of work did you do on these steeples?
33146	What town?
33146	What was it?
33146	What would happen,I inquired,"if a very large balloon filled with this explosive mixture were set off over a crowded city?"
33146	What!--with a hole in his suit?
33146	What''s that for?
33146	What''s the matter with him?
33146	What, below?
33146	What, outside the iron ring?
33146	What, six stories down?
33146	What, two somersaults down to the net, blindfolded?
33146	Where will you land this time?
33146	Which is the most dangerous lion you have?
33146	Why dangerous?
33146	Why did n''t he wait to light his pipe until he got across?
33146	Why did she stop?
33146	Why do n''t you give up the life?
33146	Why will it,queries the professor,"if the man and the sand- bag weigh the same?"
33146	Why, how should he have started him?
33146	Why, what blew up?
33146	Why, what would happen if he did?
33146	Would n''t he attack you?
33146	Would you reverse her?
33146	You do n''t feel in danger yourself, do you,I persisted,"when_ you_ go up?"
33146	You made a record, did n''t you?
33146	You mean empty boxes?
33146	You mean that he uses his eyes to know when to turn? 33146 You mean you hung by your hands from this big ball of stone?"
33146	You mean?
33146	You would n''t get a man to do it blindfolded?
33146	''Member her?"
33146	''Now,''says the superintendent, rather sarcastic,''I suppose you know this is the Empire State Express you''re running?''
33146	''Well, do you know what time she''s supposed to pull into the Grand Central?''
33146	''Well,''said he,''is there any other place we can aim at except his eye?''
33146	''What''s up?''
33146	A minute?"
33146	A soft tread?
33146	After all, why not this death as well as any other?
33146	Ahearn?
33146	Ai n''t that right, Bill?"
33146	Alive?
33146	And d''ye know about the rescue he made up in Williamsbridge, when that barrel of kerosene exploded?
33146	And here one marvels; for how can anything be plain in a blinding, deafening cataract?
33146	And how many do you think got there?
33146	And if they believe, as apparently they do, that bridge- men are fated to violent death, why do they not leave this work and seek a safer calling?
33146	And now( by what tears and pleadings who can say?)
33146	And the question was, Should he run or should he stay and die?
33146	And what do you think it was?
33146	And who will climb with such a rope to the steeple- top?
33146	Another question I asked was about stopping a train at great speed for an emergency-- how quickly could they do it?
33146	Are you ready?"
33146	Are you sure it wo n''t smash down on their housetops?
33146	Are you sure you know the river?"
33146	At Coney Island?
33146	Beauty, is n''t he?
33146	Besides, how are you going to hitch fast the rope that will pull it over?
33146	Besides, what good would a life- line be to a man if the"falls"started at him with a ten- ton load, yes, or a twenty- ton load?
33146	Broken in two?
33146	But his father would look at him and say:"Do you know the river, my son?
33146	But where was the old string?
33146	Can you make a steeple fall this way or that way, as woodmen make trees fall?
33146	Did he come over with a good lift?
33146	Did he mean skip along over this web of boards and girders?
33146	Did n''t we, Fred?"
33146	Did not an engineer go to his death that way only last week on the Union Pacific run?
33146	Did you ever hear a crazy man laugh?
33146	Did you save her?"
33146	Do I remember, George?
33146	Do n''t you remember?
33146	Do you know any_ man_ who can throw a prettier row of flip- flaps than this?
33146	Do you mean that a white spark would n''t do it?"
33146	Do?
33146	Does n''t pay any special attention to me, does he?
33146	Farm produce?
33146	For how could he be sure until he had stood the test?
33146	Graceful?
33146	Had he ever struck the knives when leaping through?
33146	He has n''t forgotten it-- have you old boy?
33146	Here is apparent contradiction, for how can courage be made by habit and then unmade?
33146	His name was Stark?
33146	How about falls in the air?
33146	How about the balconies?
33146	How do you know you can?
33146	How else in the world do you think we operate on''em?
33146	I did n''t pull away, but stamped my foot and cried out,''Baltimore, what do you mean?''
33146	I-- I--""You fell?"
33146	Indeed, in going about from engine to engine I found the following dialogue repeated over and over again:"Ever in a collision?"
33146	Is it well done or not?
33146	Is there a back door at the end of that passage?
33146	It does n''t seem as if that ought to scare a man, does it?"
33146	Just now when you were hanging from the cradle you could n''t see much, could you?
33146	Like his father, you think?
33146	Lucky for the three men with the car, was n''t it?
33146	Lumber?
33146	Nan had her legs all burned, and--""I know, and say, Bill, do you remember where I found Tip?
33146	Now, what do you suppose it was?"
33146	Now, why should a woman start over four tracks just as I was coming, and walk slow, if she did n''t want to take a chance?
33146	Of course a lion has no business to be out of his den, but-- but suppose he is?
33146	Of course we did it-- did it easy; but when we got up to the top of the whole business, where was our army?
33146	Or suppose I should injure my hearing, in spite of Atkinson''s assurance?
33146	Play?
33146	Pleasant, was n''t it?
33146	Pretty tough, was n''t it?
33146	Pretty tough, was n''t it?"
33146	Pretty, is n''t she?
33146	Queer about women, ai n''t it?"
33146	Remember that, Hansen?"
33146	Remember that, Harry?"
33146	Remember when that bicycle- diver was killed?
33146	Risking their lives?
33146	Say, did ye ever hear how he crawled under that blazing naphtha tank and got a man out who was in there unconscious?
33146	Say, why do n''t you go down in the yard and look around a little?"
33146	Say, you''d never guess how he ended up?"
33146	See those timbers right at the top that come together in a point?
33146	Shall I strike?"
33146	Shall we think of firemen as braver than other men, as finer or more devoted?
33146	She had the runaway in hand, but where should she land him?
33146	Smell what?"
33146	So what hope was there?
33146	The glow of greenish eyeballs?
33146	The two old men?
33146	Then where is he, especially when it''s blowing tricky blasts?
33146	Then where''s your man?
33146	This brought back the old question, When does dynamite explode, and when does it not explode?
33146	Three or four dollars a day will cover their earnings, and as for the glory, what is it?
33146	Up- stream, did I say?
33146	Was he a foreigner?
33146	Was it true, as I had read, that divers often have one or both of their ear- drums ruptured by the water- pressure?
33146	We can build engines that will run a hundred and fifty miles an hour, but where shall we find the men to drive them?
33146	We will, eh?
33146	Wha''d''ye think of that?
33146	What are they?
33146	What could_ you_ see, falling and whirling?
33146	What d''ye think of that?
33146	What d''ye think of that?"
33146	What did the porter do?
33146	What do they think of Ahearn?
33146	What is it?
33146	What is that?
33146	What strange work is doing here?
33146	What the mischief are you doing?
33146	What was his biggest leap?
33146	What''s a man to do?"
33146	What''s that jerk?
33146	What''s your name?"
33146	What?
33146	Where does this lane between the houses come out?
33146	Where was the ladder now?
33146	Who can tell when a bolt may slip or a board give way?
33146	Why not?
33146	Why should they?
33146	Why, one asks, do they keep to such a career?
33146	Why?
33146	Why?
33146	Will the daughter of a lion- tamer be afraid of a mouse?
33146	Will the son of a steeple- climber climb steeples?
33146	Will we find water in there behind the smoke?
33146	You got all you wanted, did n''t you, Fred?"
33146	You know how you can bore a hole in a sand- bank, do n''t you, with a stream of water?
33146	You know those awful dreams where you fall and fall?
33146	_ Br- r- r- ip- ip- ip- ip-- br- r- r- r- up- up- up-- br- r- r- ap- ap- ap- ap- ap._ What was it?
33146	_ this_ blow up, or_ that_ little sputtering shanty wreck a town?"
33146	so proud and saucily tooting only the other day, now a bedraggled wreck on these Weehawken flats, destined to what fate who knows?
