It was up to me to hit the ties to Wadsworth, and hit them I did, much to the telegraph operator's relief, for I neglected to burn his shanty and murder him. Telegraph operators have much to be thankful for. At the end of half a dozen miles, I had to get off the ties and let the east-bound overland go by.
The tower operators had been fooled and so had a hundred others. This was an interesting sighting and we used to discuss it a lot. All of the observers later agreed that what made them so excited was the tower operator's announcement: "F-84's from Lockbourne are chasing three high speed objects."
The esquilador, or shearer for such was the profession of the individual just described had found a subject for the exercise of his art in a large white dog of the poodle species, who, with a most exemplary patience, the result probably of a frequent repetition of the same process, lay upon his back between the operator's knees, all four legs in the air, exposing his ribs and belly to the scissors that were rapidly divesting them of their thick fleece.
Fifteen determinations can be carried on at once without loss of time, this, however, depending on the operator's skill. I have made many assays, and assays by this method with similarly excellent results. Of the other methods, Bunsen's is acknowledged to be the most accurate, but is, of course, too troublesome to be used in technical work, although it is used in scientific analysis.
The Communications operator's attention returned to his console, and within minutes Arjen was in communication with all his Ship-Captains. Without preamble and without expression, Arjen briefed them on the mission and detailed his plans for its execution. "The Intelligence Service reports intercepting communications involving a Ranger named Esteban Tarlac, which indicate that he is in this sector.
It's like when the film doesn't come right on the screen, and the piano player sounds a discord to call the operator's attention to it." "You've hit it, sister mine." "Oh, Alice! There you go again. 'Hit it!" "You'd say 'hit it' at a baseball game," Alice retorted. "Oh, yes, I suppose so.
The Norlaminian scientists have found out how to direct and control pure forces without using the cumbersome and hindering material substance...." He broke off as the record from the torpedo stopped suddenly and the operator's voice came through a speaker. "General Fenimol! Scoutship K3296, patrolling the detector zone, wishes to give you an urgent emergency report.
The projection of it flickered on the screen until it dazzled one's eyes to try to watch it. "Goodness!" gasped Pearl Graves. "I hope that won't keep up." The excited little Hebrew who owned the theatre ran, sputtering, up the aisle, and climbed into the gallery to expostulate with the operator. There was an explosion of angry voices from the operator's box when the proprietor reached it.
A very thin platinum wire loop, brought to incandescence by the current from a battery which, though of great power, is so small that it hangs from the lapel of the operator's coat is used instead of a knife for excisions and certain amputations. It sears as it cuts, prevents the loss of blood, and is absolutely painless, which is the most astonishing thing about it.
He had bet his eighty-five dollars against the operator's forty, and when he had accidentally picked out the right shell the operator had grabbed his money and attempted to escape. He wanted his money. He had eighty-five dollars, he said. "He had fo' fiveth, fo' tenth, and five five-dollar gold-pieceth, an' he wanted them." The policeman was thorough. He made his search at once.
