      meaning, out. See {Deal}, v. & n., and cf. {Arise}, {Ort}.]
      1. An ancient form of test to determine guilt or innocence,
            by appealing to a supernatural decision, -- once common in

      Note: In England ordeal by fire and ordeal by water were
               used, the former confined to persons of rank, the
               latter to the common people. The ordeal by fire was
               performed, either by handling red-hot iron, or by
               walking barefoot and blindfold over red-hot plowshares,
               laid at unequal distances. If the person escaped
               unhurt, he was adjudged innocent; otherwise he was
               condemned as guilty. The ordeal by water was performed,
               either by plunging the bare arm to the elbow in boiling
               water, an escape from injury being taken as proof of
               innocence, or by casting the accused person, bound hand
               and foot, into a river or pond, when if he floated it
               was an evidence of guilt, but if he sunk he was
               acquitted. It is probable that the proverbial phrase,
               to go through fire and water, denoting severe trial or
               danger, is derived from the ordeal. See {Wager of
               battle}, under {Wager}.

      fr. consciens, p. pr. of conscire to know, to be conscious;
      con- + scire to know. See {Science}.]
      1. Knowledge of one's own thoughts or actions; consciousness.
            [Obs.]
  
                     The sweetest cordial we receive, at last, Is
                     conscience of our virtuous actions past. --Denham.
  
      2. The faculty, power, or inward principle which decides as

      3. The estimate or determination of conscience; conviction or
            right or duty.
  
                     Conscience supposes the existence of some such
                     [i.e., moral] faculty, and properly signifies our
                     consciousness of having acted agreeably or contrary
                     to its directions.                              --Adam Smith.

      {Conscience money}, stolen or wrongfully acquired money that
            is voluntarily restored to the rightful possessor. Such
            money paid into the United States treasury by unknown

      of {TOPS-10} but had many of the important features of
      {TOPS-20} such as real {paging} and controllable/spawnable
      processes.   TYMCOM-X, one of the best kept secrets in the
      PDP-10 folklore, was written by Bill Weiher, Vance Socci
      , Allen Ginzburg, Karen Kolling, Art
      Atkinson, Gary Morgenthaler (founder of the company that
      produced {IDRIS}), Todd Corenson and Murray Bowles.   Some
      copies still run today.   Most {TYMNET} development was done
      under TYMCOM-X and Tymshare sold a TYMCOM-X system to {TRW} to
      use in their credit reporting network, which was based on a
      purchased copy of TYMNET circa 1979.

   Economy
  
   Overview: Tanzania is one of the poorest countries in the world. The
   economy is heavily dependent on agriculture, which accounts for about
   58% of GDP, provides 85% of exports, and employs 90% of the work
   force. Topography and climatic conditions, however, limit cultivated
   crops to only 5% of the land area. Industry accounts for 8% of GDP and
   is mainly limited to processing agricultural products and light
   consumer goods. The economic recovery program announced in mid-1986
   has generated notable increases in agricultural production and
   financial support for the program by bilateral donors. The World Bank,
   the International Monetary Fund, and bilateral donors have provided
   funds to rehabilitate Tanzania's deteriorated economic infrastructure.
   Growth in 1991-94 has featured a pickup in industrial production and a
   substantial increase in output of minerals, led by gold. Recent
   banking reforms have helped increase private sector growth and
   investment.
