As the mole goes for a worm so this boy goes for a five-cent piece. I have watched him. A travelling man goes out of town leaving a stray dime or nickel here and within an hour it is in this boy's pocket. I have talked to banker Walker of him. He trembles lest his vaults become too small to hold the wealth of this young Croesus.
A nickel tea-pot and a solitary tumbler stood on the table with its white cloth falling in straight folds. The ticking of the clock sounded monotonously. "She does not deceive, nor betray, nor leave me," he thought; "but she is strange, strange and a mother!"
He ceased speaking, and sat gripping his pipe grimly between his teeth, whilst I stood staring at him almost fatuously. Then "Evidently you have much to tell me," I said, with forced calm. I drew up a chair beside the settee and was about to sit down. "Suppose you bolt the door," jerked my friend. I nodded, entirely comprehending, crossed the room and shot the little nickel bolt into its socket.
The texture of the inner portions of these foreign anodes would lead one to infer that the metallurgy of nickel was very primitive. A good homogeneous plate can be produced, still the spongy, rotten plates of foreign manufacture were allowed the free run of our markets. The German plates are, in my opinion, more compact than the American.
Incidentally we'll produce some pretty cheap nickel. Get busy!" The chemist nodded and went out, and Clark, glancing after him, fell into profound contemplation. He himself was neither engineer, chemist nor scientist, but had a natural instinct for the suitable uses of physical things.
"It can't be much longer," said the doctor. "She's got to be located soon. But those policemen! I wouldn't give a nickel for the lot! I'll bet she's walked over them for two weeks. If I were you I'd discharge the bunch. They'd be peacefully asleep if she passed them. If they'd let me alone, I'd have had her. I could have turned around easily. I've been in dozens of closer places." "Don't worry!
"Yes, you will. You'll give me every nickel of it." "No, NO." "You ain't going to make small of me this time. Give me that money." "For the last time, will you give me that money?" "No." "You won't, huh? You won't give me it? For the last time." "No, NO." Usually the dentist was slow in his movements, but now the alcohol had awakened in him an ape-like agility.
With trembling fingers he picked out ten pennies and a five-cent piece, putting a lone quarter back in his empty pocket. "Thank God, Mary, we've done it!" and the man's voice broke, and a big tear rolled down his cheek and splashed on a dingy nickel. New Year's night there was a jubilee meeting in the town hall. The Reverend John Grey hurried through his bread-and-milk supper in some excitement.
"He leave 'em like they standin' still!" "I want to slip him into the fourth race next Saturday," said Pitkin, "and he'll have Calloway and Hartshorn to beat. There ought to be a nice price on him 4 or 5 to 1, anyway, on account of what he's been showing lately." "Yo' goin' bet on him, suh?" "Straight and place," said Pitkin, "but I won't bet a nickel here at the track.
Ignition of substances not requiring too high a temperature may be made in porcelain or silica crucibles. Iron, nickel or silver crucibles are used in special cases. In general, platinum crucibles should be used whenever such use is practicable, and this is the custom in private, research or commercial laboratories.
