      A rope or long thong of leather with, a running noose, used

      {Lasso cell} (Zo[94]l.), one of a peculiar kind of defensive
            and offensive stinging cells, found in great numbers in
            all c[d2]lenterates, and in a few animals of other groups.
            They are most highly developed in the tentacles of
            jellyfishes, hydroids, and Actini[91]. Each of these cells
            is filled with, fluid, and contains a long, slender, often
            barbed, hollow thread coiled up within it. When the cell
            contracts the thread is quickly ejected, being at the same
            time turned inside out. The thread is able to penetrate
            the flesh of various small, soft-bodied animals, and
            carries a subtle poison by which they are speedily
            paralyzed and killed. The threads, at the same time, hold
            the prey in position, attached to the tentacles. Some of
            the jellyfishes, as the Portuguese man-of-war, and
            {Cyanea}, are able to penetrate the human skin, and
            inflict painful stings in the same way. Called also

                  general idea of delivering into the charge of another;

                  it may have the special sense of intrusting with or

                  to consign a pupil to the charge of his instructor; to
                  consign goods to an agent for sale; to consign a work

   Economy
  
   Overview: As an affluent, high-tech industrial society, Canada today
   closely resembles the US in per capita output, market-oriented
   economic system, and pattern of production. Since World War II the
   impressive growth of the manufacturing, mining, and service sectors
   has transformed the nation from a largely rural economy into one
   primarily industrial and urban. In the 1980s, Canada registered one of
   the highest rates of real growth among the OECD nations, averaging
   about 3.2%. With its great natural resources, skilled labor force, and
   modern capital plant, Canada has excellent economic prospects,
   although the country still faces high unemployment and a growing debt.
   Moreover, the continuing constitutional impasse between English- and
   French-speaking areas has observers discussing a possible split in the
   confederation; foreign investors have become edgy.
