It has not displaced gas, as some people thought it would, but it is the basis of a business which made the inventor sufficiently rich to realize his great ambition of building himself the finest laboratory in the world; where the most expert iron-workers, wood-workers, glass-blowers, metal-spinners, machinists and chemists in the world find employment.
"Well, have you noticed what one might call the remarkable case of the disappearing inventor the inventor who turns up in a blaze of publicity, fires off a few successful experiments, and vanishes?" "Can't say I 'ave," said Bert. "Well, I 'ave, anyhow. You get anybody come along who does anything striking in this line, and, you bet, he vanishes. Just goes off quietly out of sight.
Had circumstances not made him a sculptor, he might have been probably would have been a successful inventor, mechanician or engineer. Throughout life he was an eminently and specially practical man a man whose tendency was not to dream, but to do.
The young inventor slipped ashore from the motor-boat, taking care to make no noise. Stealing silently along toward the road, he peered through the underbrush for a sight of the machine, which seemed to be going slowly.
And whether the young inventor did or not you can learn by reading the fifth volume of this series, to be called "Tom Swift and His Electric Runabout; Or, The Speediest Car on the Road." "Well, Tom, I certainly appreciate what you did for me in getting me a better position," remarked Ned as they left the drug store. "I was beginning to think I'd never get promoted.
"For where are the funds coming from, Pem, the little bonanza fairy gold-mine necessary to gorge our Thunder Bird for its record flight fit it out for its novel migration to the moon, eh?" The inventor clasped his hands behind his head, whistling ruefully. "Funds, child! Already, it has pecked through the biggest slice of mine!"
From that day the young man wrought constantly with his father, and became the inventor of a peculiarly fine and well-tempered weapon, the making of which kept the two smiths, father and son, in constant employment, spread their fame far and wide, and gave them the means in abundance, as they before had the disposition, to live content with all the world and very happily with each other.
All the parts of the plates must be kept at exactly the same reciprocal distances, and a difference of only 0.001 meter between two points is sufficient to affect the yield considerably. For an insulating material, wood, when plunged in dilute acid, is preferred by the inventor. He makes a comb of wood, the teeth of which vary according to the thickness of the plates to be lodged between them.
"I don't know," sighed the young inventor. "All I can do is to hope. He is very patient, and Koku is devoted to him. All their little bickerings and squabbles seem to have been forgotten."
Though if I don't make out better than this, they'll get someone else in my place." "Something went wrong I can't understand it," said the aircraft inventor, shaking his head. "The machine ought not to have plunged down like that. I can't understand it." "I'd like to send the story back to my paper," went on Larry. "Always on the lookout for news!" remarked Dick.
