Types of Document
Type of Document differentiate between the different structures and forms of printed and handwritten source. The following types are provided to assist clients to put their source material into categories that will generally suggest the level of tagging and possible materials. For example, types like poetry or dictionaries would generally require more tagging than a common book type, due to the more granular nature of lines versus paragraphs, etc. Though the factors of typeface, legibility, and condition determine in large part the price of digitization, the volume and intensity of tagging does have an effect upon the overall cost. Many of the following types have similar enough tagging structures that the price will not vary much between them, but they are differentiated for the purpose of the specific tags that accompany each content class.

In the giraffes the separation of the horns from the skull may be a degenerate character.</p > </div3 > <div3 type="section" n="2"> <p >II. In the Asiatic muntjac deer we find a pair of skin-covered horns, or “pedicles,'corresponding to the paired horns of the giraffe, although welded to the skull. From the summits of these pedicles arise secondary outgrowths, at first covered with skin, which (owing to the growth of a ring of bone at the base arresting the flow of blood) eventually dries up and leaves bare bone incapable of further growth. In the muntjac the bare bony part, or “antler,”is small in proportion to the skin-covered pedicle, and simple in structure; but in the majority of deer the antler increases in size at the expense of the pedicle —which dwindles —and in some species, like the Siamese deer (<ref target="fig1">fig. I </ref >), the sambar and the red deer, becomes very large and more or less branched. Owing to liability to necrosis, the permanent retention of such a mass of dead bone would be dangerous; and the antlers are consequently shed annually (or every few years), to be renewed the following year, when, till the animal becomes past its prime, they are larger than their predecessors. The periodical shedding is also necessary in order to allow of this increase in size. With the exception of the reindeer, antlers are confined to the males.</p > <figure xml:id="fig1"> <graphic url="images/encyclopedia_fig1.png"/> <ab type="caption"><smcap >FIG.</smcap >I.—Head of Siamese Deer (<i >Cervus schomburgkis </i >), showing antlers.</ab > </figure > </div3 > <div3 type="section" n="3"> <p >III. The third type of horn is presented by the American prongbuck, or pronghorn, in which bony processes, or "cores," corresponding to the horns of the giraffe, have acquired a horny sheath, in place of skin; the sheath being in this instance forked, and annually shed and renewed, although the core is simple. The sheaths are akin to hair in structure, thus suggesting affinity with the hairs surmounting the giraffe 's horns. Female prongbuck may or may not have horns.</p > </div3 > <div3 type="section" n="4"> <p >IV. In the great majority of “Hollow-horned Ruminants,” such as oxen, sheep, goats and antelopes (<ref target="fig1">fig. 2 </ref >), the horny sheath (or true “horn ”) forms a simple unbranched cone, which may be compressed, spirally twisted, or curved in one or more directions, but is permanently retained and continues to grow throughout life from the base, while it becomes worn away at the tip. Rarely, as in the four-horned antelope, there are two pairs of horns. In many cases these horns are present in both sexes.</p > <p >Dr H. Gadow is of opinion that the antlers of the deer, the horn-like protuberances on the skull of the giraffe, and the true horns of the prongbuck and other hollow-horned ruminants (<i >Bovidae </i >) are all different stages of evolution from a single common type: the antlers of the deer being the most primitive, and the horns of the <i >Bovidae </i >the most specialized. From the fact that the bony horn-core of the hollow-horned ruminants first develops as a separate ossification, as do the horns of the giraffe, while the pedicle of the antlers of the deer grow direct from the frontal bone, it has been proposed to place the hollow-horned ruminants (inclusive of the prongbuck) and the giraffes in one group and the deer in another. This arrangement has the disadvantage of separating the deer from the giraffes, to which they are evidently nearly related; but Dr Gadow 's work brings them more into line. Whether he is right in regarding the hollow-horned ruminants as derived from the primitive deer may, however, be a matter of opinion. One very important fact recorded by Dr Gadow is that calves and lambs shed their horns at an early age. The <i >Bovidae </i >are thus brought into nearer relationship with the American prongbuck (the only living ruminant which sheds its horn-cover in the adult condition) than has generally been supposed.</p > <p >The above-mentioned four types of skull appendages are generally regarded as severally characteristic of as many family groups, namely the <i >Giraffidae, Cervidae, Antilocapridae </i >and <i >Bovidae </i >. The two last are, however, much more closely connected than are either of the others, and should perhaps be united.</p > </div3 > </div2 > <div2 type="girffidae"> <p ><i >Giraffidae </i >.—In the <i >Giraffidae </i >, which include not only giraffes (<i >Giraffa </i >) but also the okapi (<i >Ocapia </i >) and a number of extinct species from the Lower Pliocene Tertiary deposits of southern Europe, Asia and North Africa, the appendages on the skull are of type No. I., and may well be designated “antler-horns.”Another important feature is that the lower canine has a cleft or two-lobed crown, so that it is unlike the incisors to which it is approximated. There are no upper canines; and the cheek-teeth are short-crowned (brachyodont) with a peculiar grained enamel, resembling the skin of a slug in character. The feet have only two hoofs, all traces of the small lateral pair found in many other ruminants having disappeared.</p > <p >The giraffes (<i >Giraffa </i >) are now an exclusively African genus, and have long legs and neck, and three horns —a single one in front and a pair behind —supplemented in some instances with a rudimentary pair on the occiput.</p > <p >The okapi (<i >Ocapia </i >), which is also African but restricted to the tropical forest-region, in place of being an inhabitant of more or less open country, represents a second genus, characterized by the shorter neck and limbs, the totally different type of colouring, and the restriction of the horns to the male sex, in which they form a pair on the forehead; these horns being more compressed than the paired horns of the giraffe, and penetrating the skin at their summits (see <smcap >GIRAFFE </smcap >and <smcap >OKAPI </smcap >). Remains of extinct species of giraffe occur in the Lower Pliocene formations of Greece, Hungary. Persia, Northern India and China. From deposits of the same age in Greece, Samos and elsewhere have been obtained skulls and other remains of <i >Palacotragus </i >or <i >Samotherium </i >, a ruminant closely allied to <i >Ocapia </i >, the males of which were armed with a very similar pair of dagger-shaped horns. <i >Helladotherium </i >was a much larger animal, known by a single hornless skull from the Pliocene of Greece, which may be that of a female.

The appalling extent of illicit drug traffic is due largely to this mistake. Forcible control is a fundamental error. The existing laws make it hard for the physician to know where he stands in his treatment. Here is a strong plea for sensible reform.</p ></argument > <cols n="2"/> <p >A VERY serious question is arising from the narcotic drug situation. It constitutes an important problem for immediate consideration. This question is the extent to which the narcotic or opiate addict should be given over for handling to administrative organizations,—and with this question, its corollary, the extent to which administrative supervision, regulation and control should be exerted or exercised over the individual sufferer from narcotic drug addiction and over the therapeutic procedure and professional judgment of the practitioner of medicine in the care of the sufferer from this disease.</p > <p >At the time of passage of the early anti-narcotic restrictive measures with administrative provisions for the suppression of narcotic drug use, the general conception of the nature of addiction made the problem of its eradication seem <cb/>simple. Narcotic addiction, supposedly a “habit ”or vice or indulgence, as it was then generally considered, seemed to require for its suppression merely forcible denial or prohibition of the means of supposed gratification.</p > <p >The laws were passed and administered upon the above theories, and were followed by developments which were appalling. Among them were the practical temporary enforced abandonment of the addiction sufferer by the practitioner of medicine and the druggist, and the remarkable development and extension and organization of underworld or underground traffic with its attendant evils of smuggling, thievery, illicit manufacture and other criminality. I referred to this development in my papers before this Association last year.

He has cast the solar effulgence into mighty mathematical scales, and has found that the Earth sustains a light-load of 75,000 tons. Startling as this intellectual achievement may be, it has been outdone by the ingenuity of the experimental scientist. Instruments have been devised that enable even our imperfect retinas to note the pressure of light,—instruments which offer that convincing objective evidence demanded by the scientifically uninformed man.</p > <p >Granting that the Sun 's light presses upon the Earth with a measurable force, what is the good of the discovery? Simply this: Ever since astronomy was reduced to a more or less exact science the men who watch the stars each night during their active lives have marvelled at some of the miracles that they beheld and have sought to explain them. Why, for example, does a comet 's tail, in defiance of the laws of gravitation, invariably drift away from the Sun? What is the meaning of the great scarlet streamers or clouds that swim over the Sun, and of the wonderful gossamer corona that floats far beyond the Sun and is seen only during the few fleeting moments of a total eclipse? What is the zodiacal light, that shimmering fabric which is mysteriously spread on the western horizon during the clear evenings of winter and spring? What is the message of the Aurora Borealis and its leaping pillars, of which each arctic explorer brings back some new and marvellous tale? Widely different in character though these astronomical riddles may apparently be, the magic key by which they have all been unlocked is the pressure of light. The common solution of all these problems we owe to four brilliant scientists, a Russian, two Americans, and a Swede. It was a Russian, Lebedev, who first experimentally proved that light really does press upon the objects which it illuminates; it was the Americans, Nichols and Hull, who improved upon his method and confirmed his discovery; and it was the broad mind of a Swedish physicist, Svante Arrhenius, that cosmically applied the principles involved in light-pressure and brought into a simple harmony all this astronomical discord. New though these theories may be, they have been accepted by even the more conservative students of science.</p > <p >Before we can hope to understand just why it is that the effect of solar radiation explains the vagaries of all these unrelated phenomena, we must understand how light-pressure acts. Because we are not flung from the Earth by a sunbeam, we may well infer that the pressure of light can sway individually only the </p > </div1 > </body > </text > |

Mr. Olmert may still try to bring one or two more parties into his coalition, which would give him an even larger majority and guard against the possibility that any one party could leave the coalition and bring down the government.</p > <p >Mr. Olmert says his top priority is to set Israel 's borders daring the next four years, and that is likely to involve the removal of tens of thousands of Jewish settlers from the West Bank. Shas has generally opposed such Israeli concessions in the past and its support is by no means guaranteed in the future.</p > <p >Shas draws its support from religious Jews of Middle Eastern descent, and it has sought increased spending for social programs that benefit its constituents, many of them poor. To advance his political plans, Mr. Olmert will have to meetat least some of the demands by Shas and the other partners, who have also called for increased social spending.</p > <p >Mr. Olmert 's centrist Kadima Party won the largest number of seats, 29, in the March 28 election. But the new government will consist of at least three other parties: Shas, with its 12 seats, the left-leaning Labor Party, with 19, and the Pensioners 'Party, with 7.</p > <p >It was not immediately clear when Mr. Olmert might present his coalition to Parliament for a vote of confidence, but it could be this week.</p > <p >Israel 's cab ínet on Sunday approved a revised route for part of the separation barrier in the West Bank. The new path still incorporates several large Jewish settlements keep inside the West Bank, but takes up a bit less West Bank land than the previous route. The move appeared to be aimed at addressing objections from the United States and court challenges to the route in Israel.</p > <p >"The changes are very important, and we are committed to making a supreme effort to complete the security fence everywhere as quickly as possible," Mr. Olmert told his cabinet before it voted on the changes.</p > <p >The cabinet modified the route around a group of settlements, including Ariel, one of the largest in the West Bank with nearly 20,000 residents. This is one of the most contentious sections of the structure because it stretches farther into the West Bank in this area than anywhere else.</p > <p >The Israeli government did not, however, immediately publish a map with the exact details of the new <cb/>route.</p > <p >Groups opposed to the barrier described the changes as minor.</p > <p >"For some Palestinians there might be a slight improvement of movement," said Sarit Michaeli, a spokeswoman for B 'Tselem, an Israeli human rights group. "However, it is very hard to see how a barrier that extends so far into the West Bank is compatible with the creation of a Palestinian state that has territorial contiguity."</p > <p >The cabinet also made some limited changes to the barrier route around Jerusalem. Mr. Olmert said Wednesday that he wanted gaps near Jerusalem completed as quickly as possible. He called for temporary fencing in areas where the barrier has not yet been completed and in areas where legal challenges have slowed building.</p > <p >The government has faced sharp criticism from the Palestinians and much of the rest of the world over the barrier, which Israel began constructing in 2002 and describes as a security measure. Israel has redrawn the route on several occasions, reducing the amount of West Bank land on the Israeli side. Still,<cb/>under the newest plan, about 10 percent of the West Bank will be on the western, or Israeli, side.</p > <figure > <graphic url="images/newspaper_fig1.tif"/> <ab type="caption">A Palestinian man, left, waiting to pass through the Israeli barrier at Abu Dis, on the edge of Jerusalem.</ab > </figure > <p >The Palestinians and their supporters strongly oppose the barrier on any part of the West Bank; which the Palestinians claim as part of a future state. They point to a ruling by the International Court of Justice in 2004, which said building the wall in the West Bank was a violation of international law.</p > <p >The barrier, which consists of electronic fencing, concrete walls, patrol roads and watch towers, is about half-finished, Israeli officials say.</p > <div3 type="article"> <head type="main">Israeli Troops Kill Palestinian </head > <p >TULKAREM, West Bank, Monday, May 1 (AP) —Israeli soldiers shot and killed a Palestinian woman and wounded her two daughters on Monday when they fired on a West Bank house that an Islamic Jihad militant was hiding in, Palestinian officials and the army said.</p > <p >When the militant refused to leave, soldiers tired on the house.
