From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Gasoline \Gas"o*line\ (? [or] ?; 104), n.
      A highly volatile mixture of fluid hydrocarbons, obtained
      from petroleum, as also by the distillation of bituminous
      coal. It is used in making air gas, and in giving
      illuminating power to water gas. See {Carburetor}.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   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. Interne
   \In*terne"\, n. [F.] (F. pron. [acr]N`t[acir]rn") (Med.)
      A resident physician in a hospital; a house physician.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Mohr \Mohr\, n. (Zo[94]l.)

      the species which produce bezoar. [Written also {mhorr}.]

      Pertaining to the earth and moon; belonging to the joint
      action or mutual relations of the earth and moon; as,
