The same principle guided the church sod

long ; but at length they relieved themselves
at a epilog; just as an elastic body, if pres-
sed dews too bard, would bund up with a
violence equal to the pressure placed ea A ;
1.1 if it g►se the operator a knock on the

substance. The poop!. did not want to get

a good one ; and it was for this that all the
nations were struggling and making Noise..
