Thus the kind of metals which formed the sparking points could be determined by analysing the light of the spark. This suggestion has been of great service in spectrum analysis, and as applied by Bunsen, Kirchoff, and others, has led to the discovery of several new elements, such as rubidium and thallium, as well as increasing our knowledge of the heavenly bodies.
"Good afternoon," he greeted. "Dr. von Heydenreich gave me quite a favorable account of you as far as it went. He might have included a few more data and made it more so.... Won't you sit down?" The woman laid her handbag on the desk and took the visitor's chair, impish mirth sparking in her eyes. "He probably omitted mentioning that the D. is for Doris," she suggested.
But the interruption of the sparking was only temporary, and he reached the island of Celebes safely. Then he thought it merely prudent to descend and overhaul the engine, though he deplored the loss of time. He landed on a solitary spot where there was no likelihood of being molested, and Rodier having cleaned the fouled plug that had caused the trouble, they went on again.
"Your kindness has taken a load off my mind. I know more than I did yesterday morning. No, I won't get sparking the girl with the old man around. See you again some time." And he passed out of Forks. "That feller's a decent no, he's a gentleman," muttered Slum, staring after the receding horseman. "Guess Skitter Bend's jest about the place fer him.
"I don't think you'll do much good that way," she said. "I've been at that for hours." Geoffrey felt there was, or ought to be a difference between the efforts of a girl, a slight, rather frail looking girl, and those of a vigorous young man. He took off his overcoat and tried again, vainly. Then he opened the throttle wide, and advanced the sparking lever a little.
This we did slowly, keeping the lead going constantly. The first mate reported the needle of the compass working curiously, dipping down hard, and sparking something he had never seen. Captain Burrows only said: 'Let her spark! "As we approached the inner ocean, as we called it, the passage was narrow; it became very dark and the waters roared ahead.
He had been watching the uncrating of box of spare engine parts one afternoon when no specific job claimed him for the moment, and fell into conversation with the short, stocky sergeant who was to be the store keeper. The sergeant was tired and worried. He had counted a consignment of sparking plugs twice and obtained a different total each time.
Hoping that the failure in the sparking was only temporary, Smith swung the aeroplane round, in order to take advantage of this calm region of air and at least fly in the right direction. At the same time he looked out anxiously for a spot to which he might descend if the defect in the engine proved persistent.
He had no difficulty in picking up the "desperate Mr. Crusoe" again, for the latter proved to be "sparking" the ether with frantic calls in search of the radio boy on whom he believed he had made a serious impression, but who seemed, for some unhappy reason, to have forgotten him. "I was just discussing your case with a couple of friends," Cub explained.
One was Sari Bair, the stately hill which stood inviolate, although an army had dashed itself against its fastnesses. The other, lower down the skyline, was Achi Baba, as impregnable as her sister, Sari Bair. The story of the campaign was the story of these two hills. For perfect charm, I recall no trip to equal this cruise betimes in the sparking Ægean.
