From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Wax \Wax\, n. [AS. weax; akin to OFries. wax, D. was, G. wachs,       OHG. wahs, Icel. & Sw. vax, Dan. vox, Lith. vaszkas, Russ.       vosk'.]       1. A fatty, solid substance, produced by bees, and employed             by them in the construction of their comb; -- usually             called beeswax. It is first excreted, from a row of             pouches along their sides, in the form of scales, which,             being masticated and mixed with saliva, become whitened             and tenacious. Its natural color is pale or dull yellow.          Note: Beeswax consists essentially of cerotic acid                (constituting the more soluble part) and of myricyl                palmitate (constituting the less soluble part).          2. Hence, any substance resembling beeswax in consistency or             appearance. Specifically:             (a) (Physiol.) Cerumen, or earwax.

Fluid \Flu"id\, n.       A fluid substance; a body whose particles move easily among       themselves.          Note: Fluid is a generic term, including liquids and gases as                species. Water, air, and steam are fluids. By analogy,                the term is sometimes applied to electricity and                magnetism, as in phrases electric fluid, magnetic                fluid, though not strictly appropriate.          {Fluid dram}, [or] {Fluid drachm}, a measure of capacity             equal to one eighth of a fluid ounce.          {Fluid ounce}.       (a) In the United States, a measure of capacity, in             apothecaries' or wine measure, equal to one sixteenth of             a pint or 29.57 cubic centimeters. This, for water, is             about 1.04158 ounces avoirdupois, or 455.6 grains.       (b) In England, a measure of capacity equal to the twentieth             part of an imperial pint. For water, this is the weight             of the avoirdupois ounce, or 437.5 grains.          {Fluids of the body}. (Physiol.) The circulating blood and             lymph, the chyle, the gastric, pancreatic, and intestinal             juices, the saliva, bile, urine, aqueous humor, and muscle             serum are the more important fluids of the body. The             tissues themselves contain a large amount of combined             water, so much, that an entire human body dried in vacuo             with a very moderate degree of heat gives about 66 per             cent of water.          {Burning fluid}, {Elastic fluid}, {Electric fluid}, {Magnetic       fluid}, etc. See under {Burning}, {Elastic}, etc.

Internal-combustion engine \Internal-combustion engine\) in       which the heat or pressure energy necessary to produce motion       is developed in the engine cylinder, as by the explosion of a       gas, and not in a separate chamber, as in a steam-engine       boiler. The gas used may be a fixed gas, or one derived from       alcohol, ether, gasoline (petrol), naphtha, oil (petroleum),       etc. There are three main classes: (1) {gas engines} proper,       using fixed gases, as coal, blast-furnace, or producer gas;       (2) engines using the vapor of a volatile fluid, as the       typical {gasoline (petrol) engine}; (3) {oil engines}, using       either an atomized spray or the vapor (produced by heat) of a       comparatively heavy oil, as petroleum or kerosene. In all of       these the gas is mixed with a definite amount of air, the       charge is composed in the cylinder and is then exploded       either by a flame of gas (          {flame ignition} -- now little used), by a hot tube (          {tube ignition}) or the like, by an electric spark (          {electric ignition}, the usual method is gasoline engines, or             by the heat of compression, as in the Diesel engine. Gas             and oil engines are chiefly of the stationary type.             Gasoline engines are largely used for automobile vehicles,             boats, etc. Most internal-combustion engines use the Otto             (four-stroke) cycle, though many use the two-stroke cycle.             They are almost universally trunk engines and             single-acting. Because of the intense heat produced by the             frequent explosions, the cylinders must be cooled by a             water jacket (          {water-cooled}) or by air currents (          {air cooled}) to give the maximum thermodynamic efficiency             and to avoid excessive friction or seizing.

Telegraph \Tel"e*graph\, n. [Gr. [?] far, far off (cf. Lith.       toli) + -graph: cf. F. t[82]l[82]graphe. See {Graphic}.]       An apparatus, or a process, for communicating intelligence       rapidly between distant points, especially by means of       preconcerted visible or audible signals representing words or       ideas, or by means of words and signs, transmitted by       electrical action.          Note: The instruments used are classed as indicator,                type-printing, symbol-printing, or chemical-printing                telegraphs, according as the intelligence is given by                the movements of a pointer or indicator, as in Cooke &                Wheatstone's (the form commonly used in England), or by                impressing, on a fillet of paper, letters from types,                as in House's and Hughe's, or dots and marks from a                sharp point moved by a magnet, as in Morse's, or                symbols produced by electro-chemical action, as in                Bain's. In the offices in the United States the                recording instrument is now little used, the receiving                operator reading by ear the combinations of long and                short intervals of sound produced by the armature of an                electro-magnet as it is put in motion by the opening                and breaking of the circuit, which motion, in                registering instruments, traces upon a ribbon of paper                the lines and dots used to represent the letters of the                alphabet. See Illustration in Appendix.          {Acoustic telegraph}. See under {Acoustic}.          {Dial telegraph}, a telegraph in which letters of the             alphabet and numbers or other symbols are placed upon the             border of a circular dial plate at each station, the             apparatus being so arranged that the needle or index of             the dial at the receiving station accurately copies the             movements of that at the sending station.          {Electric telegraph}, [or] {Electro-magnetic telegraph}, a             telegraph in which an operator at one station causes words             or signs to be made at another by means of a current of             electricity, generated by a battery and transmitted over             an intervening wire.          {Facsimile telegraph}. See under {Facsimile}.          {Indicator telegraph}. See under {Indicator}.          {Pan-telegraph}, an electric telegraph by means of which a             drawing or writing, as an autographic message, may be             exactly reproduced at a distant station.          {Printing telegraph}, an electric telegraph which             automatically prints the message as it is received at a             distant station, in letters, not signs.          {Signal telegraph}, a telegraph in which preconcerted             signals, made by a machine, or otherwise, at one station,             are seen or heard and interpreted at another; a semaphore.                      {Submarine telegraph cable}, a telegraph cable laid under             water to connect stations separated by a body of water.          {Telegraph cable}, a telegraphic cable consisting of several             conducting wires, inclosed by an insulating and protecting             material, so as to bring the wires into compact compass             for use on poles, or to form a strong cable impervious to             water, to be laid under ground, as in a town or city, or             under water, as in the ocean.          {Telegraph plant} (Bot.), a leguminous plant ({Desmodium             gyrans}) native of the East Indies.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
Attraction \At*trac"tion\, n. [L. attractio: cf. F. attraction.]       1. (Physics) An invisible power in a body by which it draws             anything to itself; the power in nature acting mutually             between bodies or ultimate particles, tending to draw them             together, or to produce their cohesion or combination, and             conversely resisting separation.          Note: Attraction is exerted at both sensible and insensible                distances, and is variously denominated according to                its qualities or phenomena. Under attraction at                sensible distances, there are, -- (1.)          {Attraction of gravitation}, which acts at all distances             throughout the universe, with a force proportional             directly to the product of the masses of the bodies and             inversely to the square of their distances apart. (2.)          {Magnetic}, {diamagnetic}, and {electrical attraction}, each             of which is limited in its sensible range and is polar in             its action, a property dependent on the quality or             condition of matter, and not on its quantity. Under             attraction at insensible distances, there are, -- (1.)          {Adhesive attraction}, attraction between surfaces of             sensible extent, or by the medium of an intervening             substance. (2.)          {Cohesive attraction}, attraction between ultimate particles,             whether like or unlike, and causing simply an aggregation             or a union of those particles, as in the absorption of             gases by charcoal, or of oxygen by spongy platinum, or the             process of solidification or crystallization. The power in             adhesive attraction is strictly the same as that of             cohesion. (3.)          {Capillary attraction}, attraction causing a liquid to rise,             in capillary tubes or interstices, above its level             outside, as in very small glass tubes, or a sponge, or any             porous substance, when one end is inserted in the liquid.             It is a special case of cohesive attraction. (4.)          {Chemical attraction}, or          {affinity}, that peculiar force which causes elementary             atoms, or groups of atoms, to unite to form molecules.          2. The act or property of attracting; the effect of the power             or operation of attraction. --Newton.          3. The power or act of alluring, drawing to, inviting, or             engaging; an attractive quality; as, the attraction of             beauty or eloquence.          4. That which attracts; an attractive object or feature.          Syn: Allurement; enticement; charm.

This last is the inductive method of             Bacon. It ascends from the parts to the whole, and forms,             from the general analogy of nature, or special             presumptions in the case, conclusions which have greater             or less degrees of force, and which may be strengthened or             weakened by subsequent experience and experiment. It             relates to actual existences, as in physical science or             the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the             necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the             interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature.

This last is the inductive method of             Bacon.

It             relates to actual existences, as in physical science or             the concerns of life. Logical induction is founded on the             necessary laws of thought; philosophical induction, on the             interpretation of the indications or analogy of nature.

electron tube          (Or tube, vacuum tube, UK: valve, electron       valve, thermionic valve, firebottle, glassfet) An electronic       component consisting of a space exhausted of gas to such an       extent that {electrons} may move about freely, and two or more       electrodes with external connections.   Nearly all tubes are of       the thermionic type where one electrode, called the cathode,       is heated, and electrons are emitted from its surface with a       small energy (typically a Volt or less).   A second electrode,       called the anode (plate) will attract the electrons when it is       positive with respect to the cathode, allowing current in one       direction but not the other.          In types which are used for amplification of signals,       additional electrodes, called grids, beam-forming electrodes,       focussing electrodes and so on according to their purpose, are       introduced between cathode and plate and modify the flow of       electrons by electrostatic attraction or (usually) repulsion.       A voltage change on a grid can control a substantially greater       change in that between cathode and anode.          Unlike {semiconductors}, except perhaps for {FET}s, the       movement of electrons is simply a function of electrostatic       field within the active region of the tube, and as a       consequence of the very low mass of the electron, the currents       can be changed quickly.   Moreover, there is no limit to the       current density in the space, and the electrodes which do       dissapate power are usually metal and can be cooled with       forced air, water, or other refrigerants.   Today these       features cause tubes to be the active device of choice when       the signals to be amplified are a power levels of more than       about 500 watts.          The first electronic digital computers used hundreds of vacuum       tubes as their active components which, given the reliability       of these devices, meant the computers needed frequent repairs       to keep them operating.   The chief causes of unreliability are       the heater used to heat the cathode and the connector into       which the tube was plugged.          Vacuum tube manufacturers in the US are nearly a thing of the       past, with the exception of the special purpose types used in       broadcast and image sensing and displays.   Eimac, GE, RCA, and       the like would probably refer to specific types such as "Beam       Power Tetrode" and the like, and rarely use the generic terms.          The {cathode ray tube} is a special purpose type based on       these principles which is used for the visual display in       television and computers.   X-ray tubes are diodes (two element       tubes) used at high voltage; a tungsten anode emits the       energetic photons when the energetic electrons hit it.       Magnetrons use magnetic fields to constrain the electrons;       they provide very simple, high power, ultra-high frequency       signals for radar, microwave ovens, and the like.   Klystrons       amplify signals at high power and microwave frequencies.          (1996-02-05)

Electronic Funds Transfer Point of Sale          A method of electronic payment which       allows money to be transferred from the account of the shopper       to the merchant in close-to real-time.   Generally the shopper       will give the merchant a credit or debit card, which will be       swiped to obtain the account information.   The shopper will       then be required to either sign a receipt or enter a {PIN} via       a keypad to authorise the transaction.          (2003-06-22)

electronic mail          (e-mail) Messages automatically passed from one       computer user to another, often through computer {networks}       and/or via {modems} over telephone lines.          A message, especially one following the common {RFC 822}       {standard}, begins with several lines of {headers}, followed       by a blank line, and the body of the message.   Most e-mail       systems now support the {MIME} {standard} which allows the       message body to contain "{attachments}" of different kinds       rather than just one block of plain {ASCII} text.   It is       conventional for the body to end with a {signature}.          Headers give the name and {electronic mail address} of the       sender and recipient(s), the time and date when it was sent       and a subject.   There are many other headers which may get       added by different {message handling systems} during delivery.          The message is "composed" by the sender, usually using a       special program - a "{Mail User Agent}" (MUA).   It is then       passed to some kind of "{Message Transfer Agent}" (MTA) - a       program which is responsible for either delivering the message       locally or passing it to another MTA, often on another {host}.       MTAs on different hosts on a network often communicate using       {SMTP}.   The message is eventually delivered to the       recipient's {mailbox} - normally a file on his computer - from       where he can read it using a mail reading program (which may       or may not be the same {MUA} as used by the sender).          Contrast {snail-mail}, {paper-net}, {voice-net}.          The form "email" is also common, but is less suggestive of the       correct pronunciation and derivation than "e-mail".   The word       is used as a noun for the concept ("Isn't e-mail great?", "Are       you on e-mail?"), a collection of (unread) messages ("I spent       all night reading my e-mail"), and as a verb meaning "to send       (something in) an e-mail message" ("I'll e-mail you (my       report)").   The use of "an e-mail" as a count noun for an       e-mail message, and plural "e-mails", is now (2000) also well       established despite the fact that "mail" is definitely a mass       noun.          Oddly enough, the word "emailed" is actually listed in the       Oxford English Dictionary.   It means "embossed (with a raised       pattern) or arranged in a net work".   A use from 1480 is       given.   The word is derived from French "emmailleure",       network.   Also, "email" is German for enamel.          {The story of the first e-mail message       (http://www.pretext.com/mar98/features/story2.htm)}.          (2002-07-14)

electronic mail address          (Usually "e-mail address", rarely "e-dress",       "e-ddress") The string used to specify the source or       destination of an {electronic mail} message.       E.g. "john@doc.acme.ac.uk".          The {RFC 822} standard is probably the most widely used on the       {Internet} though {X.400} is also in use in Europe and Canada.       {UUCP}-style ({bang path}) addresses or other kinds of {source       route} became virtually extinct in the 1990s.          In the example above, "john" is the {local part} which is the       name of a {mailbox} on the destination computer.   If the       sender and recipient use the same computer, or the same {LAN},       for electronic mail then the local part is usually all that is       required.          If they use different computers, e.g. they work at different       companies or use different {Internet service providers}, then       the "host part", e.g. "sales.acme.com" must be appended after       an "@".   This usually takes the form of a {fully qualified       domain name} or, within a large organisation, it may be just       the {hostname} part, e.g. "sales".   The destination computer       named by the host part is often a {server} of some kind rather       than an individual's {workstation} or {PC}.   The user's mail       is stored on the server and read later via {client} mail       software running on the user's computer.          Large organisations, such as universities will often set up a       global {alias} directory which maps a simple user name such as       "jsmith" to an address which contains more information such as       "jsmith@london.bigcomp.co.uk".   This hides the detailed       knowledge of where the message will be delivered from the       sender, making it much easier to redirect mail if a user       leaves or moves to a different computer for example.          (1996-10-22)

electronic meeting          /e'lek-tro'nik mee'ting/       The use of a {network} of {personal computers} to improve       communication that takes place in a meeting.   The computers       are used for typically 30-50% of the meeting.   They do not       eliminate conversation, discussion, or humour from the       meeting.          Electronic meetings are effective with as few as two       participants and with over 100 participants.   Participants can       be face-to-face in a meeting room or distributed around the       world.   They may all be participating at the same time or       different times.          {Getting Results from Electronic Meetings       (http://www.emsl.co.uk/)}.          (2000-11-16)

Electronic Numerical Integrator and Computer          (ENIAC) The first electronic {digital computer} and       an ancestor of most computers in use today.   ENIAC was       developed by Dr. {John Mauchly} and {J. Presper Eckert} during       World War II at the Moore School of the {University of       Pennsylvania}.          In 1940 Dr. {John Vincent Atanasoff} attended a lecture by       Mauchly and subsequently agreed to show him his binary       calculator, the {Atanasoff-Berry Computer} (ABC), which was       partially built between 1937-1942.   Mauchly used ideas from       the ABC in the design of ENIAC, which was started in June 1943       and released publicly in 1946.          ENIAC was not the first digital computer, {Konrad Zuse}'s {Z3}       was released in 1941.   Though, like the ABC, the Z3 was       {electromechanical} rather than electronic, it was freely       programmable via paper tape whereas ENIAC was only       programmable by manual rewiring or switches.   Z3 used binary       representation like modern computers whereas ENIAC used       decimal like mechanical calculators.          ENIAC was underwritten and its development overseen by       Lieutenant Herman Goldstine of the U.S. Army Ballistic       Research Laboratory (BRL).   While the prime motivation for       constructing the machine was to automate the wartime       production of firing and bombing tables, the very first       program run on ENIAC was a highly classified computation       for Los Alamos.   Later applications included weather       prediction, cosmic ray studies, wind tunnel design,       petroleum exploration, and optics.          ENIAC had 20 {registers} made entirely from {vacuum tubes}.       It had no other no memory as we currently understand it.   The       machine performed an addition in 200 {microseconds}, a       multiplication in about three {milliseconds}, and a division       in about 30 milliseconds.          {John von Neumann}, a world-renowned mathematician serving on       the BRL Scientific Advisory Committee, soon joined the       developers of ENIAC and made some critical contributions.       While Mauchly, Eckert and the Penn team continued on the       technological problems, he, Goldstine, and others took up the       logical problems.          In 1947, while working on the design for the successor       machine, EDVAC, von Neumann realized that ENIAC's lack of a       central control unit could be overcome to obtain a rudimentary       stored program computer (see the Clippinger reference below).       Modifications were undertaken that eventually led to an       {instruction set} of 92 "orders".   {Von Neumann} also proposed       the {fetch-execute cycle}.          [R.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Elect lady       to whom the Second Epistle of John is addressed (2 John 1:1).       Some think that the word rendered "lady" is a proper name, and       thus that the expression should be "elect Kyria."
From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Election of Grace       The Scripture speaks (1) of the election of individuals to       office or to honour and privilege, e.g., Abraham, Jacob, Saul,       David, Solomon, were all chosen by God for the positions they       held; so also were the apostles. (2) There is also an election       of nations to special privileges, e.g., the Hebrews (Deut. 7:6;       Rom. 9:4). (3) But in addition there is an election of       individuals to eternal life (2 Thess. 2:13; Eph. 1:4; 1 Pet.       1:2; John 13:18).                The ground of this election to salvation is the good pleasure       of God (Eph. 1:5, 11; Matt. 11:25, 26; John 15:16, 19). God       claims the right so to do (Rom. 9:16, 21).                It is not conditioned on faith or repentance, but is of       soverign grace (Rom. 11:4-6; Eph. 1:3-6). All that pertain to       salvation, the means (Eph. 2:8; 2 Thess. 2:13) as well as the       end, are of God (Acts 5:31; 2 Tim. 2:25; 1 Cor. 1:30; Eph. 2:5,       10). Faith and repentance and all other graces are the exercises       of a regenerated soul; and regeneration is God's work, a "new       creature."                Men are elected "to salvation," "to the adoption of sons," "to       be holy and without blame before him in love" (2 Thess. 2:13;       Gal. 4:4, 5; Eph. 1:4). The ultimate end of election is the       praise of God's grace (Eph. 1:6, 12). (See {PREDESTINATION}.)
