[?] fat, E.       live, v.] (Anat.)       A very large glandular and vascular organ in the visceral       cavity of all vertebrates.          Note: Most of the venous blood from the alimentary canal                passes through it on its way back to the heart; and it                secretes the bile, produces glycogen, and in other ways                changes the blood which passes through it. In man it is                situated immediately beneath the diaphragm and mainly                on the right side. See {Bile}, {Digestive}, and                {Glycogen}. The liver of invertebrate animals is                usually made up of c[91]cal tubes, and differs                materially, in form and function, from that of                vertebrates.          {Floating liver}.

Sulphur \Sul"phur\, n. [L., better sulfur: cf. F. soufre.]       1. (Chem.) A nonmetallic element occurring naturally in large             quantities, either combined as in the sulphides (as             pyrites) and sulphates (as gypsum), or native in volcanic             regions, in vast beds mixed with gypsum and various earthy             materials, from which it is melted out. Symbol S. Atomic             weight 32. The specific gravity of ordinary octohedral             sulphur is 2.05; of prismatic sulphur, 1.96.          Note: It is purified by distillation, and is obtained as a                lemon-yellow powder (by sublimation), called flour, or                flowers, of sulphur, or in cast sticks called roll                sulphur, or brimstone. It burns with a blue flame and a                peculiar suffocating odor. It is an ingredient of                gunpowder, is used on friction matches, and in medicine                (as a laxative and insecticide), but its chief use is                in the manufacture of sulphuric acid. Sulphur can be                obtained in two crystalline modifications, in                orthorhombic octahedra, or in monoclinic prisms, the                former of which is the more stable at ordinary                temperatures. Sulphur is the type, in its chemical                relations, of a group of elements, including selenium                and tellurium, called collectively the sulphur group,                or family. In many respects sulphur resembles oxygen.          2. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of yellow or orange             butterflies of the subfamily {Pierin[91]}; as, the clouded             sulphur ({Eurymus, [or] Colias, philodice}), which is the             common yellow butterfly of the Eastern United States.          {Amorphous sulphur} (Chem.), an elastic variety of sulphur of             a resinous appearance, obtained by pouring melted sulphur             into water. On standing, it passes back into a brittle             crystalline modification.          {Liver of sulphur}. (Old Chem.) See {Hepar}.          {Sulphur acid}. (Chem.) See {Sulphacid}.          {Sulphur alcohol}. (Chem.) See {Mercaptan}.          {Sulphur auratum} [L.] (Old Chem.), a golden yellow powder,             consisting of antimonic sulphide, {Sb2S5}, -- formerly a             famous nostrum.          {Sulphur base} (Chem.), an alkaline sulphide capable of             acting as a base in the formation of sulphur salts             according to the old dual theory of salts. [Archaic]          {Sulphur dioxide} (Chem.), a colorless gas, {SO2}, of a             pungent, suffocating odor, produced by the burning of             sulphur. It is employed chiefly in the production of             sulphuric acid, and as a reagent in bleaching; -- called             also {sulphurous anhydride}, and formerly {sulphurous             acid}.          {Sulphur ether} (Chem.), a sulphide of hydrocarbon radicals,             formed like the ordinary ethers, which are oxides, but             with sulphur in the place of oxygen.          {Sulphur salt} (Chem.), a salt of a sulphacid; a sulphosalt.                      {Sulphur showers}, showers of yellow pollen, resembling             sulphur in appearance, often carried from pine forests by             the wind to a great distance.          {Sulphur trioxide} (Chem.), a white crystalline solid, {SO3},             obtained by oxidation of sulphur dioxide. It dissolves in             water with a hissing noise and the production of heat,             forming sulphuric acid, and is employed as a dehydrating             agent. Called also {sulphuric anhydride}, and formerly             {sulphuric acid}.          {Sulphur whale}. (Zo[94]l.) See {Sulphur-bottom}.          {Vegetable sulphur} (Bot.), lycopodium powder. See under             {Lycopodium}.

Seizin \Sei"zin\, n. [F. saisine. See {Seize}.]       1. (Law) Possession; possession of an estate of froehold. It             may be either in deed or in law; the former when there is             actual possession, the latter when there is a right to             such possession by construction of law.
