Question: CHAPTER XXXIV.THE END OF PORLER.

Porler and Murphy were taken completely by surprise when confronted by Leo.

On seeing the young gymnast, Mart gave a cry of joy.

"Oh, thank Heaven you have come!"

"Get into the corner, boy!" howled Porler.

"Don't you speak to him again," said Leo sharply. "He is no longer your prisoner."

"Ain't he? We'll soon see about that."

As Porler spoke he advanced upon Leo.

But when the young gymnast brought his weapon up within range of the rascal's head the latter quickly recoiled.

"You see, Porler, I am armed."

Murphy, who was completely dumfounded to see Leo, now came forward.

"We are two to one, young feller," he said warningly. "Yer better go slow."

"I know my own business," was Leo's quiet reply. "Mart!"

"Well?"

"Will you go down and summon help?"

"But you are alone"

"Never mind. Get a policeman, or somebody else. I am going to have these rascals arrested."

"Not much!" howled Porler.

"Let's down him?" yelled Murphy.

"Back! both of you!"

The two men, however, ran forward, dodging behind Mart as they came on, and closed in on him.

It was an unequal fight.

But Leo fought well, and the boy was not idle.

Mart caught up a chair, and raising it over his head brought it down on Porler's back.

"Oh! oh! you have broken my back!" yelled the old balloonist.

Scarcely had he spoken when Leo tripped him up.

Question: An alloy is a mixture of metals or a mixture of a metal and another element. Alloys are defined by metallic bonding character. An alloy may be a solid solution of metal elements (a single phase) or a mixture of metallic phases (two or more solutions). Intermetallic compounds are alloys with a defined stoichiometry and crystal structure. Zintl phases are also sometimes considered alloys depending on bond types (see also: Van Arkel-Ketelaar triangle for information on classifying bonding in binary compounds).

An alloy is a mixture of either pure or fairly pure chemical elements, which forms an impure substance (admixture) that retains the characteristics of a metal. An alloy is distinct from an impure metal, such as wrought iron, in that, with an alloy, the added impurities are usually desirable and will typically have some useful benefit. Alloys are made by mixing two or more elements; at least one of which being a metal. This is usually called the primary metal or the base metal, and the name of this metal may also be the name of the alloy. The other constituents may or may not be metals but, when mixed with the molten base, they will be soluble, dissolving into the mixture. 1. What is an alloy?
2. are they pure?
3. and what does that form?
4. Is there another name for it?
5. is it a solid?
6. When are two or more solutions used?
7. What happens in the single phase?
8. Are the added impurities desirable?
9. any benefit?
10. What is a primary metal?
11. What could its name be of/
12. Do the others need to be metal?
13. are they soluble?
14. what do they dissolve into?
15. is primary and base metal the same?
16. Does one element have to be metal to make and alloy?
17. Is wrought iron and impure metal? Provide a numbered list of answers.

Question: I couldn't believe today had come! It was finally my birthday and that meant I could start working at the nearby pet store. First off, let me say that my name is Lilly, and as I'm sure you know, today's my birthday! Working at the pet shop has been my dream ever since I was a little girl, so actually getting to work with and help take care of the kitties, puppies, lizards and all sorts of animals is the coolest thing to happen to me. Some people dream of being a doctor, or a nurse, or even a teacher, but I've always wanted to work with pets. I'll say, like many people, I do have fears and that fear is snakes so I won't get to take care of them!

abI arrived at the pet store around nine in the morning and was greeted by the friendly woman that owned it who I talked with over the phone. Her hair was covering her name tag so I couldn't tell if her name was Martha, Margaret, or Mary, but it turns out she told me it was Margie so none of them were right. Margie helped me become friendly with all the animals, and I had so much fun the whole day. I fed them, gave them water, and even got to play with them! Margie didn't think I was ready to clean up after them yet so she said that could be done another day. It was everything I ever hoped and I can't wait for tomorrow! 1. What is today?
2. What did that mean?
3. Where at?
4. who will have the job there?
5. How long has she fantasized about this job?
6. What is she scared of?
7. When did she show up for her job?
8. Who greeted her
9. Was she the owner?
10. What was her name?
11. Did Lilly enjoy her day?
12. Did she pick up after the critters?
13. Is she ready for her next day on the job? Provide a numbered list of answers.
