Shark \Shark\, n.

(Astron.)             (a) The change in the direction of a ray of light, and,                   consequently, in the apparent position of a heavenly                   body from which it emanates, arising from its passage                   through the earth's atmosphere; -- hence distinguished                   as atmospheric refraction, or astronomical refraction.             (b) The correction which is to be deducted from the                   apparent altitude of a heavenly body on account of                   atmospheric refraction, in order to obtain the true                   altitude.          {Angle of refraction} (Opt.), the angle which a refracted ray             makes with the perpendicular to the surface separating the             two media traversed by the ray.          {Conical refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of a ray of light             into an infinite number of rays, forming a hollow cone.             This occurs when a ray of light is passed through crystals             of some substances, under certain circumstances. Conical             refraction is of two kinds; external conical refraction,             in which the ray issues from the crystal in the form of a             cone, the vertex of which is at the point of emergence;             and internal conical refraction, in which the ray is             changed into the form of a cone on entering the crystal,             from which it issues in the form of a hollow cylinder.             This singular phenomenon was first discovered by Sir W. R.             Hamilton by mathematical reasoning alone, unaided by             experiment.          {Differential refraction} (Astron.), the change of the             apparent place of one object relative to a second object             near it, due to refraction; also, the correction required             to be made to the observed relative places of the two             bodies.          {Double refraction} (Opt.), the refraction of light in two             directions, which produces two distinct images. The power             of double refraction is possessed by all crystals except             those of the isometric system. A uniaxial crystal is said             to be optically positive (like quartz), or optically             negative (like calcite), or to have positive, or negative,             double refraction, according as the optic axis is the axis             of least or greatest elasticity for light; a biaxial             crystal is similarly designated when the same relation             holds for the acute bisectrix.          {Index of refraction}. See under {Index}.          {Refraction circle} (Opt.), an instrument provided with a             graduated circle for the measurement of refraction.          {Refraction of latitude}, {longitude}, {declination}, {right       ascension}, etc., the change in the apparent latitude,             longitude, etc., of a heavenly body, due to the effect of             atmospheric refraction.          {Terrestrial refraction}, the change in the apparent altitude             of a distant point on or near the earth's surface, as the             top of a mountain, arising from the passage of light from             it to the eye through atmospheric strata of varying             density.

Section \Sec"tion\, n. [L. sectio, fr. secare, sectum, to cut;       akin to E. saw a cutting instrument: cf. F. section. See       {Saw}, and cf. {Scion}, {Dissect}, {Insect}, {Secant},       {Segment}.]       1. The act of cutting, or separation by cutting; as, the             section of bodies.          2. A part separated from something; a division; a portion; a             slice.

These                   sections are subdivided into quarter sections for sale                   under the homestead and pre[89]mption laws.          3. (Geom.) The figure made up of all the points common to a             superficies and a solid which meet, or to two superficies             which meet, or to two lines which meet.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Velocity \Ve*loc"i*ty\, n.; pl. {Velocities}. [L. velocitas,       from velox, -ocis, swift, quick; perhaps akin to v[?]lare to       fly (see {Volatile}): cf. F. v[82]locit[82].]       1. Quickness of motion; swiftness; speed; celerity; rapidity;             as, the velocity of wind; the velocity of a planet or             comet in its orbit or course; the velocity of a cannon             ball; the velocity of light.          Note: In such phrases, velocity is more generally used than                celerity. We apply celerity to animals; as, a horse or                an ostrich runs with celerity; but bodies moving in the                air or in ethereal space move with greater or less                velocity, not celerity. This usage is arbitrary, and                perhaps not universal.          2. (Mech.) Rate of motion; the relation of motion to time,             measured by the number of units of space passed over by a             moving body or point in a unit of time, usually the number             of feet passed over in a second. See the Note under             {Speed}.          {Angular velocity}. See under {Angular}.          {Initial velocity}, the velocity of a moving body at             starting; especially, the velocity of a projectile as it             leaves the mouth of a firearm from which it is discharged.                      {Relative velocity}, the velocity with which a body             approaches or recedes from another body, whether both are             moving or only one.          {Uniform velocity}, velocity in which the same number of             units of space are described in each successive unit of             time.          {Variable velocity}, velocity in which the space described             varies from instant, either increasing or decreasing; --             in the former case called accelerated velocity, in the             latter, retarded velocity; the acceleration or retardation             itself being also either uniform or variable.          {Virtual velocity}. See under {Virtual}.          Note: In variable velocity, the velocity, strictly, at any                given instant, is the rate of motion at that instant,                and is expressed by the units of space, which, if the                velocity at that instant were continued uniform during                a unit of time, would be described in the unit of time;                thus, the velocity of a falling body at a given instant                is the number of feet which, if the motion which the                body has at that instant were continued uniformly for                one second, it would pass through in the second. The                scientific sense of velocity differs from the popular                sense in being applied to all rates of motion, however                slow, while the latter implies more or less rapidity or                quickness of motion.          Syn: Swiftness; celerity; rapidity; fleetness; speed.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Angel       a word signifying, both in the Hebrew and Greek, a "messenger,"       and hence employed to denote any agent God sends forth to       execute his purposes. It is used of an ordinary messenger (Job       1:14: 1 Sam. 11:3; Luke 7:24; 9:52), of prophets (Isa. 42:19;       Hag. 1:13), of priests (Mal. 2:7), and ministers of the New       Testament (Rev. 1:20).                It is also applied to such impersonal agents as the pestilence       (2 Sam. 24:16, 17; 2 Kings 19:35), the wind (Ps. 104:4).                But its distinctive application is to certain heavenly       intelligences whom God employs in carrying on his government of       the world. The name does not denote their nature but their       office as messengers. The appearances to Abraham at Mamre (Gen.       18:2, 22. Comp. 19:1), to Jacob at Peniel (Gen. 32:24, 30), to       Joshua at Gilgal (Josh. 5:13, 15), of the Angel of the Lord,       were doubtless manifestations of the Divine presence,       "foreshadowings of the incarnation," revelations before the       "fulness of the time" of the Son of God.                (1.) The existence and orders of angelic beings can only be       discovered from the Scriptures. Although the Bible does not       treat of this subject specially, yet there are numerous       incidental details that furnish us with ample information. Their       personal existence is plainly implied in such passages as Gen.       16:7, 10, 11; Judg. 13:1-21; Matt. 28:2-5; Heb. 1:4, etc.                These superior beings are very numerous. "Thousand thousands,"       etc. (Dan. 7:10; Matt. 26:53; Luke 2:13; Heb. 12:22, 23). They       are also spoken of as of different ranks in dignity and power       (Zech. 1:9, 11; Dan. 10:13; 12:1; 1 Thess. 4:16; Jude 1:9; Eph.       1:21; Col. 1:16).                (2.) As to their nature, they are spirits (Heb. 1:14), like       the soul of man, but not incorporeal. Such expressions as "like       the angels" (Luke 20:36), and the fact that whenever angels       appeared to man it was always in a human form (Gen. 18:2; 19:1,       10; Luke 24:4; Acts 1:10), and the titles that are applied to       them ("sons of God," Job 1:6; 38:7; Dan. 3:25; comp. 28) and to       men (Luke 3:38), seem all to indicate some resemblance between       them and the human race. Imperfection is ascribed to them as       creatures (Job 4:18; Matt. 24:36; 1 Pet. 1:12). As finite       creatures they may fall under temptation; and accordingly we       read of "fallen angels." Of the cause and manner of their "fall"       we are wholly ignorant. We know only that "they left their first       estate" (Matt. 25:41; Rev. 12:7,9), and that they are "reserved       unto judgement" (2 Pet. 2:4). When the manna is called "angels'       food," this is merely to denote its excellence (Ps. 78:25).       Angels never die (Luke 20:36). They are possessed of superhuman       intelligence and power (Mark 13:32; 2 Thess. 1:7; Ps. 103:20).       They are called "holy" (Luke 9:26), "elect" (1 Tim. 5:21). The       redeemed in glory are "like unto the angels" (Luke 20:36). They       are not to be worshipped (Col. 2:18; Rev. 19:10).                (3.) Their functions are manifold. (a) In the widest sense       they are agents of God's providence (Ex. 12:23; Ps. 104:4; Heb.       11:28; 1 Cor. 10:10; 2 Sam. 24:16; 1 Chr. 21:16; 2 Kings 19:35;       Acts 12:23). (b) They are specially God's agents in carrying on       his great work of redemption. There is no notice of angelic       appearances to man till after the call of Abraham. From that       time onward there are frequent references to their ministry on       earth (Gen. 18; 19; 24:7, 40; 28:12; 32:1). They appear to       rebuke idolatry (Judg. 2:1-4), to call Gideon (Judg. 6:11, 12),       and to consecrate Samson (13:3). In the days of the prophets,       from Samuel downward, the angels appear only in their behalf (1       Kings 19:5; 2 Kings 6:17; Zech. 1-6; Dan. 4:13, 23; 10:10, 13,       20, 21).                The Incarnation introduces a new era in the ministrations of       angels. They come with their Lord to earth to do him service       while here. They predict his advent (Matt. 1:20; Luke 1:26-38),       minister to him after his temptation and agony (Matt. 4:11; Luke       22:43), and declare his resurrection and ascension (Matt.       28:2-8; John 20:12, 13; Acts 1:10, 11). They are now ministering       spirits to the people of God (Heb. 1:14; Ps. 34:7; 91:11; Matt.       18:10; Acts 5:19; 8:26; 10:3; 12:7; 27:23). They rejoice over a       penitent sinner (Luke 15:10). They bear the souls of the       redeemed to paradise (Luke 16:22); and they will be the       ministers of judgement hereafter on the great day (Matt. 13:39,       41, 49; 16:27; 24:31). The passages (Ps. 34:7, Matt. 18:10)       usually referred to in support of the idea that every individual       has a particular guardian angel have no such meaning. They       merely indicate that God employs the ministry of angels to       deliver his people from affliction and danger, and that the       angels do not think it below their dignity to minister even to       children and to the least among Christ's disciples.                The "angel of his presence" (Isa. 63:9. Comp. Ex. 23:20, 21;       32:34; 33:2; Num. 20:16) is probably rightly interpreted of the       Messiah as the guide of his people. Others have supposed the       expression to refer to Gabriel (Luke 1:19).
