Holland removed his gloves, replaced them with the check books in the box and in the safe, locked the steel door, drew the sliding panel, and went to bed. Early the next morning he summoned his servant. "Take the car back to town," he said. "I am going back by train. Meet me at the Holland Park tube at two o'clock; I have a little job for you which will earn you five hundred."
There, in the practically absolute vacuum of space, the last openings in the glass were sealed, and man and great transmitting tube were wafted lightly back into the Terrestrial cruiser.
My feet were numbed with cold as I walked for'd and looked at the empty tube. The next thrilling moment came when the commander decided to bring his craft to the surface. "Come to surface and blow external tanks!" ordered the two-striper. "Open five, six, seven, eight, to blow!" The round, white perforated lungs of the submarine sucked in the air in the craft.
The tube may be kept in the same room, at the same temperature as the unboiled one, but no signs of decomposition will be found, however long we keep it. The cotton wool prevents it; for we may boil the water with the meat in it, but it would not be long before bacteria and micrococci are present if the wool is not put in the mouth of the test tube.
Madame Tube had not slept for an instant she had not thought of eating or drinking and now feeling quite exhausted, she determined to return home and take a few hours repose. On her way thither she remembered having left her door open, and feared that all her little property might have been stolen.

Fortin watched me as I closed the pepper-box arrangement over the glowing bowl of the pipe. Then he continued: "The list was made out on thick yellow paper; the brass tube has preserved it. It is as fresh to-day as it was in 1760. You shall see it."
All I remembered, as I squeezed the contents of another tube on to my palette, was the smile on the face of the priest. The weather now began to take part in the general agitation. The lazy haze, roused by the joyous sun, had gathered its skirts together and had slipped over the hills.
If he touches the free terminal with an object held in the hand, a current passes through the coil and the copper disc is set in rotation. If an exhausted tube is put in series with the coil, the tube lights brilliantly, showing the passage of a strong current. Instead of the experimenter's body, a small metal sheet suspended on a cord may be used with the same result.
Absolutely equal bulks of each solid were placed inside a metal tube or vessel, and surrounded with an exact equal quantity of water at one and the same normal temperature.
