      Note: If we examine a common flower, such for instance as a
               geranium, we shall find that it consists of: First, an
               outer envelope or calyx, sometimes tubular, sometimes
               consisting of separate leaves called sepals; secondly,
               an inner envelope or corolla, which is generally more
               or less colored, and which, like the calyx, is
               sometimes tubular, sometimes composed of separate
               leaves called petals; thirdly, one or more stamens,
               consisting of a stalk or filament and a head or anther,
               in which the pollen is produced; and fourthly, a
               pistil, which is situated in the center of the flower,
               and consists generally of three principal parts; one or
               more compartments at the base, each containing one or
               more seeds; the stalk or style; and the stigma, which
               in many familiar instances forms a small head, at the
               top of the style or ovary, and to which the pollen must
               find its way in order to fertilize the flower. --Sir J.

            mechanical, thermal, chemical, electrical, magnetic, or of

      Syn: Strength; vigor; might; energy; stress; vehemence;
               violence; compulsion; coaction; constraint; coercion.
  
      Usage: {Force}, {Strength}. Strength looks rather to power as
                  an inward capability or energy. Thus we speak of the
                  strength of timber, bodily strength, mental strength,
                  strength of emotion, etc. Force, on the other hand,
                  looks more to the outward; as, the force of
                  gravitation, force of circumstances, force of habit,
                  etc. We do, indeed, speak of strength of will and
                  force of will; but even here the former may lean
                  toward the internal tenacity of purpose, and the
                  latter toward the outward expression of it in action.
                  But, though the two words do in a few cases touch thus
                  closely on each other, there is, on the whole, a
                  marked distinction in our use of force and strength.
                  [bd]Force is the name given, in mechanical science, to
                  whatever produces, or can produce, motion.[b8]
                  --Nichol.
  
                           Thy tears are of no force to mollify This flinty

                           More huge in strength than wise in works he was.
                                                                              --Spenser.
  
                           Adam and first matron Eve Had ended now their
                           orisons, and found Strength added from above,

   Magnetism \Mag"net*ism\, n. [Cf. F. magn[82]tisme.]
      The property, quality, or state, of being magnetic; the
      manifestation of the force in nature which is seen in a
      magnet.
  
      2. The science which treats of magnetic phenomena.
  
      3. Power of attraction; power to excite the feelings and to
            gain the affections. [bd]By the magnetism of interest our
            affections are irresistibly attracted.[b8] --Glanvill.
  
      {Animal magnetism}, a force, more or less analogous to
            magnetism, which, it has been alleged, is produced in
            animal tissues, and passes from one body to another with
            or without actual contact. The existence of such a force,
            and its potentiality for the cure of disease, were
            asserted by Mesmer in 1775. His theories and methods were
            afterwards called mesmerism, a name which has been
            popularly applied to theories and claims not put forward
            by Mesmer himself. See {Mesmerism}, {Biology}, {Od},
            {Hypnotism}.
  
      {Terrestrial magnetism}, the magnetic force exerted by the
            earth, and recognized by its effect upon magnetized
            needles and bars.

From Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary (1913) [web1913]:
   Mechanics \Me*chan"ics\, n. [Cf. F. m[82]canique.]
      That science, or branch of applied mathematics, which treats
      of the action of forces on bodies.
  
      Note: That part of mechanics which considers the action of
               forces in producing rest or equilibrium is called
               {statics}; that which relates to such action in
               producing motion is called {dynamics}. The term
               mechanics includes the action of forces on all bodies,
               whether solid, liquid, or gaseous. It is sometimes,
               however, and formerly was often, used distinctively of
               solid bodies only: The mechanics of liquid bodies is
               called also {hydrostatics}, or {hydrodynamics},
               according as the laws of rest or of motion are
               considered. The mechanics of gaseous bodies is called
               also {pneumatics}. The mechanics of fluids in motion,
               with special reference to the methods of obtaining from
               them useful results, constitutes {hydraulics}.
  
      {Animal mechanics} (Physiol.), that portion of physiology
            which has for its object the investigation of the laws of
            equilibrium and motion in the animal body. The most
            important mechanical principle is that of the lever, the
            bones forming the arms of the levers, the contractile
            muscles the power, the joints the fulcra or points of
            support, while the weight of the body or of the individual
            limbs constitutes the weight or resistance.
  
      {Applied mechanics}, the principles of abstract mechanics
            applied to human art; also, the practical application of
            the laws of matter and motion to the construction of
            machines and structures of all kinds.

      consistency; as, oil of vitriol.
  
      Note: The mineral oils are varieties of petroleum. See

               the solid oils and fats, and olein in the liquid oils.
               Mutton tallow, beef tallow, and lard are rich in
               stearin, human fat and palm oil in palmitin, and sperm

            (homoiothermal) animals during life. The ultimate source

            food and the oxygen which is absorbed from the air during
            respiration. See {Homoiothermal}.
  
      {Temperature sense} (Physiol.), the faculty of perceiving
            cold and warmth, and so of perceiving differences of

            ecliptic; the period occupied by the earth in making its
            revolution around the sun, called the astronomical year;
            also, a period more or less nearly agreeing with this,

            and every fourth year (called bissextile, or leap year) of
            366 days, a day being added to February on that year, on
            account of the excess above 365 days (see {Bissextile}).

      2. (Astron.)
            (a) The angular distance of a planet from its perihelion,
                  as seen from the sun. This is the true anomaly. The
                  eccentric anomaly is a corresponding angle at the
                  center of the elliptic orbit of the planet. The mean
                  anomaly is what the anomaly would be if the planet's
                  angular motion were uniform.
            (b) The angle measuring apparent irregularities in the
                  motion of a planet.
  
      3. (Nat. Hist.) Any deviation from the essential
            characteristics of a specific type.

   Anammelech
      one of the gods worshipped by the people of Sepharvaim, who
      colonized Samaria (2 Kings 17:31). The name means "Anu is king."
      It was a female deity representing the moon, as Adrammelech
      (q.v.) was the male representing the sun.
     

From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
   Animal
      an organized living creature endowed with sensation. The
      Levitical law divided animals into clean and unclean, although
      the distinction seems to have existed before the Flood (Gen.
      7:2). The clean could be offered in sacrifice and eaten. All
      animals that had not cloven hoofs and did not chew the cud were
      unclean. The list of clean and unclean quadrupeds is set forth
      in the Levitical law (Deut. 14:3-20; Lev. 11).
