Página 18 - The general rule is that the measure of damages is the difference between the contract price and the market value of the goods at the time and place of delivery...
Página 21 - This under hair is known by the name of kemp. It is generally believed to be the relic of the common goat blood in the Angora, for it is a matter of history that the Angora flocks of the United States, as well as those of Asia Minor and South Africa, have been largely increased by crossing upon the does of common blood. This has been done to such an extent, indeed, that it is no longer contended that there remain any Angora goats of absolutely pure blood.
Página 20 - SECTION 1. The officers of this Association shall consist of a president, eight vice-presidents (one from each athletic district), and a secretary-treasurer.
Página 18 - ... and this hair is disposed in long, pendent, spiral ringlets on the whole body. The horns of the female, instead of spreading, as in the male, turn backward, and are much shorter in proportion. Those of the male are long, spirally twisted, but the size and direction are very different from the common goat, being generally extended from...
Página 20 - If it cannot be run as cheaply as steam, considering its cost, &c., the value of the power itself is nothing, but the value of the plant is such a sum as could be paid for it new, which would bring the total cost of running down to the cost of steam power, less depreciation. That is, it is worth just what can be got out of the plant and no more.
Página 22 - ... some way, and the device which they use for the purpose is a machine which combs it out; but while the comb is removing the kemp it removes at the same time every mohair fiber of equal length with the kemp. This means that if the mohair going into this comb has kemp 3 inches long all mohair fibers up to 3 inches in length must go out with it. The result is heavy loss. True, there is a use for this mixture of kemp and short mohair, as heretofore stated, in the manufacture of cheap goods, such...
Página 34 - Heine water-tube boilers by the boiler division of the United States Geological Survey fuel-testing plant at St. Louis, Mo. These tests began during the Louisiana Purchase Exposition, in 1903, and have been in progress since that time. The coals tested have been collected from all the prominent fields of the United States. It has been the object to compare...
Página 32 - ... labor is not so expensive as mill labor. MOHAIR MANUFACTURES. The first striking feature of mohair manufactures is their great beauty. The luster of the hair, which is so pronounced even while it grows upon the goat, remains in the manufactured goods, and no amount of washing and no character of dye will remove it. It aids the dyes to show their colors more effectively, and imparts to the goods the pleasing property of changing shades in shifting lights, which is a feature quite characteristic...
Página 21 - ... grows less. That point has not yet been reached, however, where it can be said that a strain has been produced which has no kemp whatever, although a few breeders in this country and in South Africa appear to have very nearly reached that very desirable result. "This is the principal end to which breeders should lend their best efforts at this time. It is the most difficult quality to obtain. Length, strength, fineness, and luster may all respond readily to the intelligence of the breeder, but...
Página 19 - The average wool fiber in these tests stood a strain of 108.79 grains, while the average mohair fiber stood a strain of 295.11 grains. This is a difference of 186.32 grains — much more than double the strength of wool. It is to this strength of fiber that the great durability of mohair goods is ascribed. In stretching quality there is but a slight difference between mohair and wool. Dr. McMurtrie makes the point in discussing wools that the individual fibers may be variable in size, a condition...
