Eyes, supposed powers

Fuels for motor vehicles other than gasoline are being eyed because they generate lower levels of pollutants than does gasoline. Compressed propane has been suggested as a source of economic power for vehicles. Suppose that in a test 20 lb of CsHg is burned with 400 lb of air to produce 44 lb of CO2 and 12 lb of CO. What was the percent excess air ... 

Hosea specifies that the sacred prostitutes practised their art under the trees, where the shade is good (4.13). Ezekiel speaks of some kind of full-length veil by which they ensnared souls (13.18). The Holy Plant had not be uprooted under cover of darkness, lest the act be seen by the woodpecker of Mars (perhaps a folk-name for the red-topped Amanita Muscaria), or the sun and moon. The sexual power of women was vital to the mystery cults and accounts in large measure for the attractiveness of cuts to women from the earliest times. It also has much to do with the antagonism towards sexuality generally and the distrust of women displayed by the laser Church, and the readiness with which supposed witches were hounded by Christians until quite recent times. The telepathic control over people s minds exercised by such females, known the world over as the evil eye, came originally from this ability to arouse men s passions. 

Magnifying power n. The magnifying power of an optical instrument is the ratio of the angle subtended by the image of the object seen through the instrument to the angle subtended by the object when seen by the unaided eye. In the case of the microscope or simple magnifier the object as viewed by the unaided eye is supposed to be a distance of 25 cm (10 in.). 

Suppose that the distant object subtends angle a at the location of the objective. For simplicity, we place the primary focal point of the eyepiece in the image plane and project a virtual image to oo. The virtual image subtends angle a at the eye, and we define the magnifying power MP of the telescope to be ot /a, whence...
