   Theory \The"o*ry\, n.; pl. {Theories}. [F. th[82]orie, L.
      theoria, Gr. [?] a beholding, spectacle, contemplation,
      speculation, fr. [?] a spectator, [?] to see, view. See
      {Theater}.]
      1. A doctrine, or scheme of things, which terminates in
            speculation or contemplation, without a view to practice;
            hypothesis; speculation.
  
      Note: [bd]This word is employed by English writers in a very
               loose and improper sense. It is with them usually
               convertible into hypothesis, and hypothesis is commonly
               used as another term for conjecture. The terms theory
               and theoretical are properly used in opposition to the
               terms practice and practical. In this sense, they were
               exclusively employed by the ancients; and in this
               sense, they are almost exclusively employed by the
               Continental philosophers.[b8] --Sir W. Hamilton.
  
      2. An exposition of the general or abstract principles of any
            science; as, the theory of music.

   Fault \Fault\, n.
      1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a

            another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the
            circuit.
  
      2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of
            rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated
            structure resulting from such slipping.
  
      Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have
               moved is called the
  
      {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a
  
      {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the
            present relative position of the two masses could have
            been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,
            of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a
  
      {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so
            inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up
            relatively, the fault is then called a
  
      {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},
      {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault
            is then called a
  
      {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation
            measured on the fault plane and in the direction of
            movement is the
  
      {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the
  
      {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the
  
      {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the
            fault plane with a horizontal plane is the
  
      {trend} of the fault. A fault is a
  
      {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with
            the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of
            intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal
            plane); it is a
  
      {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;
            an
  
      {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.
            Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called
  
      {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel
            faults are sometimes called
  
      {step faults} and sometimes
  
      {distributive faults}.

      9. (Mining) The amount of vertical displacement produced by a
            fault; -- according to the direction it is designated as
            an upthrow, or a downthrow.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Fault \Fault\, n.
      1. (Elec.) A defective point in an electric circuit due to a
            crossing of the parts of the conductor, or to contact with
            another conductor or the earth, or to a break in the
            circuit.
  
      2. (Geol. & Mining) A dislocation caused by a slipping of
            rock masses along a plane of facture; also, the dislocated
            structure resulting from such slipping.
  
      Note: The surface along which the dislocated masses have
               moved is called the
  
      {fault plane}. When this plane is vertical, the fault is a
  
      {vertical fault}; when its inclination is such that the
            present relative position of the two masses could have
            been produced by the sliding down, along the fault plane,
            of the mass on its upper side, the fault is a
  
      {normal}, [or] {gravity}, {fault}. When the fault plane is so
            inclined that the mass on its upper side has moved up
            relatively, the fault is then called a
  
      {reverse} (or {reversed}), {thrust}, or {overthrust},
      {fault}. If no vertical displacement has resulted, the fault
            is then called a
  
      {horizontal fault}. The linear extent of the dislocation
            measured on the fault plane and in the direction of
            movement is the
  
      {displacement}; the vertical displacement is the
  
      {throw}; the horizontal displacement is the
  
      {heave}. The direction of the line of intersection of the
            fault plane with a horizontal plane is the
  
      {trend} of the fault. A fault is a
  
      {strike fault} when its trend coincides approximately with
            the strike of associated strata (i.e., the line of
            intersection of the plane of the strata with a horizontal
            plane); it is a
  
      {dip fault} when its trend is at right angles to the strike;
            an
  
      {oblique fault} when its trend is oblique to the strike.
            Oblique faults and dip faults are sometimes called
  
      {cross faults}. A series of closely associated parallel
            faults are sometimes called
  
      {step faults} and sometimes
  
      {distributive faults}.

   Throwing stick \Throw"ing stick`\ (Anthropol.)
      An instrument used by various savage races for throwing a
      spear; -- called also {throw stick} and {spear thrower}. One
      end of the stick receives the butt of the spear, as upon a
      hook or thong, and the other end is grasped with the hand,
      which also holds the spear, toward the middle, above it with
      the finger and thumb, the effect being to bring the place of
      support nearer the center of the spear, and practically
      lengthen the arm in the act of throwing.

   Troy \Troy\, n.
      Troy weight.
  
      {Troy weight}, the weight which gold and silver, jewels, and
            the like, are weighed. It was so named from Troyes, in
            France, where it was first adopted in Europe. The troy
            ounce is supposed to have been brought from Cairo during
            the crusades. In this weight the pound is divided into 12
            ounces, the ounce into 20 pennyweights, and the
            pennyweight into 24 grains; hence, the troy ounce contains
            480 grains, and the troy pound contains 5760 grains. The
            avoirdupois pound contains 7000 troy grains; so that 175
            pounds troy equal 144 pounds avoirdupois, or 1 pound troy
            = 0.82286 of a pound avoirdupois, and 1 ounce troy =
            1[frac17x175] or 1.09714 ounce avoirdupois. Troy weight
            when divided, the pound into 12 ounces, the ounce into 8
            drams, the dram into 3 scruples, and the scruple into 20
            grains, is called apothecaries' weight, used in weighing
            medicines, etc. In the standard weights of the United
            States, the troy ounce is divided decimally down to the
            [frac1x10000] part.

   theory
  
      The consensus, idea, plan, story, or set of rules that is
      currently being used to inform a behaviour.   This usage is a
      generalisation and (deliberate) abuse of the technical
      meaning.   "What's the theory on fixing this TECO loss?"
      "What's the theory on dinner tonight?"   ("Chinatown, I
      guess.")   "What's the current theory on letting lusers on
      during the day?"   "The theory behind this change is to fix the
      following well-known screw...."

From The Free On-line Dictionary of Computing (15Feb98) [foldoc]:
   tree
  
      A {directed acyclic graph}; i.e. a {graph}
      wherein there is only one route between any pair of {nodes},
      and there is a notion of "toward top of the tree" (i.e. the
      {root node}), and its opposite direction, toward the {leaves}.
      A tree with n nodes has n-1 edges.
  
      Although maybe not part of the widest definition of a tree, a
      common constraint is that no node can have more than one
      parent.   Moreover, for some applications, it is necessary to
      consider a node's {daughter} nodes to be an ordered {list},
      instead of merely a {set}.
  
      As a data structure in computer programs, trees are used in
      everything from {B-trees} in {databases} and {file systems}, to
      {game trees} in {game theory}, to {syntax trees} in a human or
      computer {languages}.

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tarah
      stopping; station, an encampment of the Hebrews in the
      wilderness (Num. 33:27, 28).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Terah
      the wanderer; loiterer, for some unknown reason emigrated with
      his family from his native mountains in the north to the plains
      of Mesopotamia. He had three sons, Haran, Nahor, and Abraham,
      and one daughter, Sarah. He settled in "Ur of the Chaldees,"
      where his son Haran died, leaving behind him his son Lot. Nahor
      settled at Haran, a place on the way to Ur. Terah afterwards
      migrated with Abraham (probably his youngest son) and Lot (his
      grandson), together with their families, from Ur, intending to
      go with them to Canaan; but he tarried at Haran, where he spent
      the remainder of his days, and died at the age of two hundred
      and five years (Gen. 11:24-32; Josh. 24:2). What a wonderful
      part the descendants of this Chaldean shepherd have played in
      the history of the world!
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Tyre
      a rock, now es-Sur; an ancient Phoenician city, about 23 miles,
      in a direct line, north of Acre, and 20 south of Sidon. Sidon
      was the oldest Phoenician city, but Tyre had a longer and more
      illustrious history. The commerce of the whole world was
      gathered into the warehouses of Tyre. "Tyrian merchants were the
      first who ventured to navigate the Mediterranean waters; and
      they founded their colonies on the coasts and neighbouring
      islands of the AEgean Sea, in Greece, on the northern coast of
      Africa, at Carthage and other places, in Sicily and Corsica, in
      Spain at Tartessus, and even beyond the pillars of Hercules at
      Gadeira (Cadiz)" (Driver's Isaiah). In the time of David a
      friendly alliance was entered into between the Hebrews and the
      Tyrians, who were long ruled over by their native kings (2 Sam.
      5:11; 1 Kings 5:1; 2 Chr. 2:3).
     
         Tyre consisted of two distinct parts, a rocky fortress on the
      mainland, called "Old Tyre," and the city, built on a small,
      rocky island about half-a-mile distant from the shore. It was a
      place of great strength. It was besieged by Shalmaneser, who was
      assisted by the Phoenicians of the mainland, for five years, and
      by Nebuchadnezzar (B.C. 586-573) for thirteen years, apparently
      without success. It afterwards fell under the power of Alexander
      the Great, after a siege of seven months, but continued to
      maintain much of its commercial importance till the Christian
      era. It is referred to in Matt. 11:21 and Acts 12:20. In A.D.
      1291 it was taken by the Saracens, and has remained a desolate
      ruin ever since.
     
         "The purple dye of Tyre had a worldwide celebrity on account
      of the durability of its beautiful tints, and its manufacture
      proved a source of abundant wealth to the inhabitants of that
      city."
     
         Both Tyre and Sidon "were crowded with glass-shops, dyeing and
      weaving establishments; and among their cunning workmen not the
      least important class were those who were celebrated for the
      engraving of precious stones." (2 Chr. 2:7,14).
     
         The wickedness and idolatry of this city are frequently
      denounced by the prophets, and its final destruction predicted
      (Isa. 23:1; Jer. 25:22; Ezek. 26; 28:1-19; Amos 1:9, 10; Zech.
      9:2-4).
     
         Here a church was founded soon after the death of Stephen, and
      Paul, on his return from his third missionary journey spent a
      week in intercourse with the disciples there (Acts 21:4). Here
      the scene at Miletus was repeated on his leaving them. They all,
      with their wives and children, accompanied him to the sea-shore.
      The sea-voyage of the apostle terminated at Ptolemais, about 38
      miles from Tyre. Thence he proceeded to Caesarea (Acts 21:5-8).
     
         "It is noticed on monuments as early as B.C. 1500, and
      claiming, according to Herodotus, to have been founded about
      B.C. 2700. It had two ports still existing, and was of
      commercial importance in all ages, with colonies at Carthage
      (about B.C. 850) and all over the Mediterranean. It was often
      attacked by Egypt and Assyria, and taken by Alexander the Great
      after a terrible siege in B.C. 332. It is now a town of 3,000
      inhabitants, with ancient tombs and a ruined cathedral. A short
      Phoenician text of the fourth century B.C. is the only monument
      yet recovered."
