                  grace, or elegance, as in the following lones of

                           short space.[b8] It differs from concise in not
                  implying, perhaps, quite as much condensation, but
                  chiefly in the additional idea of [bd]grace or

   Shark \Shark\, n. [Of uncertain origin; perhaps through OF. fr.
      carcharus a kind of dogfish, Gr. karchari`as, so called from
      its sharp teeth, fr. ka`rcharos having sharp or jagged teeth;
      or perhaps named from its rapacity (cf. {Shark}, v. t. & i.);
      cf. Corn. scarceas.]
      1. (Zo[94]l.) Any one of numerous species of elasmobranch
            fishes of the order Plagiostomi, found in all seas.
  
      Note: Some sharks, as the basking shark and the whale shark,
               grow to an enormous size, the former becoming forty
               feet or more, and the latter sixty feet or more, in
               length. Most of them are harmless to man, but some are
               exceedingly voracious. The man-eating sharks mostly
               belong to the genera {Carcharhinus}, {Carcharodon}, and
               related genera. They have several rows of large sharp
               teeth with serrated edges, as the great white shark
               ({Carcharodon carcharias, [or] Rondeleti}) of tropical
               seas, and the great blue shark ({Carcharhinus glaucus})
               of all tropical and temperate seas. The former
               sometimes becomes thirty-six feet long, and is the most
               voracious and dangerous species known. The rare
               man-eating shark of the United States coast
               ({Charcarodon Atwoodi}) is thought by some to be a
               variety, or the young, of {C. carcharias}. The dusky
               shark ({Carcharhinus obscurus}), and the smaller blue
               shark ({C. caudatus}), both common species on the coast
               of the United States, are of moderate size and not
               dangerous. They feed on shellfish and bottom fishes.

   true hacker
  
      (By analogy with "trufan" from SF fandom) One who
      exemplifies the primary values of hacker culture, especially
      competence and helpfulness to other hackers.   A high
      compliment.   "He spent 6 hours helping me bring up UUCP and
      netnews on my FOOBAR 4000 last week - manifestly the act of a
      true-hacker".

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Treasure cities
      store cities which the Israelites built for the Egyptians (Ex.
      1:11). (See {PITHOM}.) Towns in which the treasures of
      the kings of Judah were kept were so designated (1 Chr. 27:25).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Treasure houses
      the houses or magazines built for the safe keeping of treasure
      and valuable articles of any kind (Ezra 5:17; 7:20; Neh. 10:38;
      Dan. 1:2).
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Treasury
      (Matt. 27:6; Mark 12:41; John 8:20). It does not appear that
      there was a separate building so called. The name was given to
      the thirteen brazen chests, called "trumpets," from the form of
      the opening into which the offerings of the temple worshippers
      were put. These stood in the outer "court of the women." "Nine
      chests were for the appointed money-tribute and for the
      sacrifice-tribute, i.e., money-gifts instead of the sacrifices;
      four chests for freewill-offerings for wood, incense, temple
      decoration, and burnt-offerings" (Lightfoot's Hor. Heb.).
