Word: diallel Part of Speech: noun Etymology: From Ancient Greek. 1. A set of all possible pairs of items from a specified set of items, especially when used for a study of diallel crosses. Example: Pollinations in 1956 and 1957 produced seed for eight replications of all 78 combinations of a complete half diallel, excluding selfs.

Example: Fifth is the diallel (ó διάλληλος τρóπος)—petitio principii—the fallacy of circle, or the method of showing that a proof which is employed to establish the truth of a proposition, can itself only be proved by the proposition in question: as for example, "if anyone should infer the authenticity of a certain history, from its recording such and such facts, the reality of which rests on the evidence of that history." Example: In particular, Huet is said to apply the five tropoi of Agrippa (viz. relativity, diaphonia or disagreement, hypothesis or begging the question, infinite regress, and diallel or circular argument) to the cogito, the criterion of clarity and distinctness, and the proofs of the existence of God.

Word: flying machine Part of Speech: noun 1. Early term for an aircraft; a machine for flying in (gerund); a machine that flies (participial adjective). Labels: archaic Example: "Around the World in Eighty Days" once had so much appeal to the imagination that Jules Verne wrote a novel about it. The latest proposal is to girdle the globe in three months in a flying machine. The practicability of such a flight is here discussed by an expert. Mr. Woodhouse is a member of the Aero Club of America and managing editor of "Flying". ¶ When the Aero Club of America received the news that the Panama-Pacific International Exposition had decided to offer $300,000 in prize money for a ninety-day aircraft race around the world, no one connected with aeronautics laughed at the conception or called it the dream of a Verne or a Wells. A map of the course of the race indicates that to circumaviate the globe will mean flights over mountains and deserts, through storms, and across seas. But formidable obstacles in all of these classifications have been surmounted before by airmen, and, of course, can be surmounted again.
