                  that they may be charged and discharged
                  simultaneously.
            (b) An apparatus for generating voltaic electricity.
  
      Note: In the trough battery, copper and zinc plates,
               connected in pairs, divide the trough into cells, which
               are filled with an acid or oxidizing liquid; the effect
               is exhibited when wires connected with the two
               end-plates are brought together. In Daniell's battery,
               the metals are zinc and copper, the former in dilute
               sulphuric acid, or a solution of sulphate of zinc, the
               latter in a saturated solution of sulphate of copper. A
               modification of this is the common gravity battery, so
               called from the automatic action of the two fluids,
               which are separated by their specific gravities. In
               Grove's battery, platinum is the metal used with zinc;
               two fluids are used, one of them in a porous cell
               surrounded by the other. In Bunsen's or the carbon
               battery, the carbon of gas coke is substituted for the
               platinum of Grove's. In Leclanch[82]'s battery, the
               elements are zinc in a solution of ammonium chloride,
               and gas carbon surrounded with manganese dioxide in a
               porous cell. A secondary battery is a battery which
               usually has the two plates of the same kind, generally
               of lead, in dilute sulphuric acid, and which, when
               traversed by an electric current, becomes charged, and
               is then capable of giving a current of itself for a
               time, owing to chemical changes produced by the
               charging current. A storage battery is a kind of
               secondary battery used for accumulating and storing the
               energy of electrical charges or currents, usually by
               means of chemical work done by them; an accumulator.
  
      5. A number of similar machines or devices in position; an
            apparatus consisting of a set of similar parts; as, a
            battery of boilers, of retorts, condensers, etc.
  
      6. (Metallurgy) A series of stamps operated by one motive
            power, for crushing ores containing the precious metals.
            --Knight.
  
      7. The box in which the stamps for crushing ore play up and
            down.
  
      8. (Baseball) The pitcher and catcher together.

               by land forces. To constitute a blockade, the investing
               power must be able to apply its force to every point of
               practicable access, so as to render it dangerous to
               attempt to enter; and there is no blockade of that port

               the barter or purchase and sale of goods, wares, and
               merchandise, either by wholesale or retail. Trade is
               either foreign or domestic. Foreign trade consists in
               the exportation and importation of goods, or the
               exchange of the commodities of different countries.
               Domestic, or home, trade is the exchange, or buying and
               selling, of goods within a country. Trade is also by
               the wholesale, that is, by the package or in large
               quantities, generally to be sold again, or it is by
               retail, or in small parcels. The carrying trade is the
               business of transporting commodities from one country

            professions, and agriculture; as, we speak of the trade of
            a smith, of a carpenter, or mason, but not now of the
            trade of a farmer, or a lawyer, or a physician.

      {Trade wind}, a wind in the torrid zone, and often a little
            beyond at, which blows from the same quarter throughout
            the year, except when affected by local causes; -- so
            called because of its usefulness to navigators, and hence
            to trade.
  
      Note: The general direction of the trade winds is from N. E.
               to S. W. on the north side of the equator, and from S.
               E. to N. W. on the south side of the equator. They are
               produced by the joint effect of the rotation of the
               earth and the movement of the air from the polar toward
               the equatorial regions, to supply the vacancy caused by
               heating, rarefaction, and consequent ascent of the air
               in the latter regions. The trade winds are principally
               limited to two belts in the tropical regions, one on
               each side of the equator, and separated by a belt which
               is characterized by calms or variable weather.

      {Trade wind}, a wind in the torrid zone, and often a little
            beyond at, which blows from the same quarter throughout
            the year, except when affected by local causes; -- so
            called because of its usefulness to navigators, and hence
            to trade.
  
      Note: The general direction of the trade winds is from N. E.
               to S. W. on the north side of the equator, and from S.
               E. to N. W. on the south side of the equator. They are
               produced by the joint effect of the rotation of the
               earth and the movement of the air from the polar toward
               the equatorial regions, to supply the vacancy caused by
               heating, rarefaction, and consequent ascent of the air
               in the latter regions. The trade winds are principally
               limited to two belts in the tropical regions, one on
               each side of the equator, and separated by a belt which
               is characterized by calms or variable weather.

From Jargon File (4.2.0, 31 JAN 2000) [jargon]:
   cascade n.   1. A huge volume of spurious error-message output
   produced by a compiler with poor error recovery.   Too frequently,
   one trivial syntax error (such as a missing `)' or `}') throws the
   parser out of synch so that much of the remaining program text is
   interpreted as garbaged or ill-formed.   2. A chain of Usenet
   followups, each adding some trivial variation or riposte to the text
   of the previous one, all of which is reproduced in the new message;
   an {include war} in which the object is to create a sort of communal
   graffito.
