That which you and I carry with us the infinite possibilities of these awful spirits of ours the tremendous faculties which are given to every human soul, and which, like a candle plunged into oxygen, are meant to burn far more brightly under the stimulus of Christian faith and the possession of God's truth, are the rich deposit committed to our charge.
It was essentially a tank of liquid oxygen, packed in the space from which stores had been taken away. When the ship's air supply was pumped past it, first moisture and then CO froze out. Then the air flowed over the liquefied oxygen at a rate to replace the CO with more useful breathing material. Then the moisture was restored to the air as it warmed again.
These elongated lungs are still not sufficient to furnish the blood with all the oxygen demanded by this excessive labor of flight. They are pierced with holes, through which issue pipes which carry the air all over the body. You know what is said of spendthrifts?-that they burn the candle at both ends. It is so with the blood of birds.
Now this carbonate needs only come again into contact with oxygen and water to be decomposed; the carbonic acid being given off, and the protoxide, by the absorption of oxygen and water, becoming again the hydrated peroxide. The mysterious chemical phenomena connected with respiration can now, by a beautiful deductive process, be completely explained.
Of course, it won't give us any more oxygen, but we'll be able to breathe what we have. To success, Paul!" I guess it was good brandy, but I swallowed mine while calling Muller down, and never got to taste it. It's surprising how much easier the air got to breathe after we'd double-checked the idea.
When the laws of the original agents cease entirely, and a phenomenon makes its appearance, which, with reference to those laws, is quite heterogeneous; when, for example, two gaseous substances, hydrogen and oxygen, on being brought together, throw off their peculiar properties, and produce the substance called water; in such cases the new fact may be subjected to experimental inquiry, like any other phenomenon; and the elements which are said to compose it may be considered as the mere agents of its production—the conditions on which it depends, the facts which make up its cause.
Oxalic acid, so much the fear of those accustomed to the medicine Epsom salts, is made from that useful article, sugar, by uniting with it a smaller portion, more than it has naturally, of oxygen gas. But these most destructive substances are always found combined with others, which render them often perfectly harmless, and can be separated only by the skill of the chemist.
The Scientist spoke into an intercom microphone, and within a few minutes, a large lump of iron a broken casting was brought in. Arcot suspended it on the molecular beam while Wade melted it with the heat beam. It melted and collapsed into a ball that glowed brilliantly and flamed as its surface burned in the oxygen of the air.
They would know in a few minutes now. "You're afraid of your own shadow!" Miles snarled over his shoulder to Charley Brett who followed him out of the room. Brett was adjusting his oxygen mask with one hand and gripping a paralo-ray gun tightly with the other. "Never mind the cracks," snapped Brett, his voice muffled by the mask. "I tell you I heard someone moving around in here."
They are traced in a hardly legible manner by a hand trembling with cold: 'My hands are frozen. I am all right. We are all all right. Fog in the horizon, with little rounded cirrus. We are ascending. Croce pants; he inhales oxygen. Sivel closes his eyes. Croce also closes his eyes.... Sivel throws out ballast' these last words are hardly readable.
