Perhaps a German listening post had carried it out last night, in order to receive directions from the trench; perhaps the mining party man killed, receiver dropped, wire connection not cut, or tangled up with other wires who can tell? One thing is sure here is the receiver, faintly buzzing. Phipps-Herrick joyfully puts it to his ear. He hears a voice and words, but it is all gibberish to him.
The saloon keeper knows the boss, if he is not himself the boss or his lieutenant, and can steer him to the man who will spend all day at the City Hall, if need be, to get a job for a friend, and all night pulling wires to keep him in it, if trouble is brewing. Mr.
"They've cut the wires!" said Dick. "Now what shall we do? We can't hear from Harry, either!" "We might have guessed they'd do that!" said Jack. "They must have had some one out to watch us, Dick perhaps they thought they'd have a chance to catch us. They know that we've found out something, you see! It's a good thing we stayed where we could make people hear us if we got into any trouble."
As best they could the Germans lifted the steel wires and cables and carried them along the deck of the Monitor; one toward the bow, the other toward the stern. It was tedious work and hard work, too, for the cables were heavy and so interwoven that it was a difficult task to move them.
He grounded his wires and sent high currents into the earth, but improved his system and took another step toward the final achievement by adding a large induction coil to his sending equipment. He suggested that the spoken word might be sent as well as dots and dashes, and so sought the wireless telephone as well as the wireless telegraph.
These wires are electrified by the emotions; they expand the arterioles, and the cells are flooded with an unusual supply of blood; thus they are correspondingly vitalized or poisoned, according to the kind of the dominant emotion, its duration and its intensity."

"And when we get through, them wires'll be cut so you won't be able to fix 'em up in a hurry." Fifteen minutes later a second masked and heavily armed figure appeared. "Every wire cut five poles back on either side of the station," he announced briefly.
All my pipe is useless as the wires are all injured by the hot process of manufacture. To his good friend, Commissioner Ellsworth, he writes from Baltimore on February 7: "In complying with your kind request that I would write you, I cannot refrain from expressing my warm thanks for the words of sympathy and the promise of a welcome on my return, which you gave me as I was leaving the door.
His published paper in 1831 shows that he experimented with wires of different lengths, and he noted the amount of magnetism which could be induced through them at various lengths by means of batteries composed of a single element, and also of many elements.
After the blue soil had been blasted and collected into trucks, it was placed in tubs, which ascended the standing wires. It was then emptied into the depositing box. The yellow soil might be put into the wash mill direct, also that portion of the blue which had passed through the screen fixed over the depositing box.
