Generally the paste consists of a matrix of fine clay tempered with finely pulverized sand, in which may be detected grains of quartz, feldspar, hornblende, augite, particles of iron oxide, &c. Argillaceous matter has been sparingly used, the sand in many cases comprising at least 75 per cent. of the mass. Many ...

Mentality, consciousness, is regarded as the prismatic bow ...

When needed a ball is pulverized and sprinkled fine over the cooked ...
