"I know what railroads is an' we ain't goin' to have none on 'em rootin' up our land, an' if ye sot up any o' them machines here we're goin' ter -Hi! don't shoot!" Billy Manners had suddenly turned his camera upon the follow, considering him a good subject for a picture, and was just about to squeeze the bulb when the man caught sight of him and sprang back.
A few minutes after the calls began to come in, the tower operators themselves saw the same or a similar light and they called for an interceptor. An F-94 in the area was contacted and visually vectored to the light by the tower operators. The F-94 saw the light and started toward it, but suddenly it went out, "like somebody turning off a light bulb."
As soon as the wax is dry, the industrious chain carries them over a dipping-roll covered with a layer consisting partly of glue and rosin. Currents of air now play upon the splint, and in about ten minutes the glue and rosin on one end of it have hardened into a hard bulb. It is not a match yet by any means, for scratching it would not make it light.
No, take that one up; it is the bulb of a dwarf palm, each layer of the onion peels off, brown and netted, like the outside of a cocoa-nut. It is a clever plant that; from the leaves we get a vegetable horsehair; and eat the bottom of the centre spike. All the leaves you pull have the same aromatic scent.
In this manner, my dear Rosa, it is impossible that we should not succeed in gaining the hundred thousand guilders for your marriage portion; and how dearly shall we enjoy that supreme happiness of seeing our work brought to a successful issue!" "I know it all now," said Rosa. "I will bring you the soil to-morrow, and you will choose it for your bulb and for mine.
At their left the shores of the wider part of the lake, the bulb of the gourd, were, in unexpected contrast to the bareness of the uplands, heavily wooded with great cottonwood trees and spruce. A grassy islet ringed with willows seemed to be moored here like the barge of some woodland princess.
This object is best attained in the spherical bulb; but it is also attained in a cylindrical vessel with one or two straight filaments coinciding with its axis, and possibly also in parabolical or spherical bulbs with the refractory body or bodies placed in the focus or foci of the same; though the latter is not probable, as the electrified atoms should in all cases rebound normally from the surface they strike, unless the speed were excessive, in which case they would probably follow the general law of reflection.
Our liking for our earliest flower was all the greater because we could eat it and liked its acid taste, also because it had a bulb very nice to eat a small round bulb the size of a hazel nut, of a pearly white, which tasted like sugar and water.
She took the thing delicately from his hand, fingered it with her exquisite softness. 'Isn't it remarkable! she exclaimed joyously. 'The sea must be very, very gentle and very kind. 'Sometimes, smiled Siegmund. 'But I did not think it could be so fine-fingered, she said. She breathed on the glass bulb till it looked like a dim magnolia bud; she inhaled its fine savour.
As to that in which yours is to grow, I shall have several journeys to convey it to you, as I cannot bring much at a time." "There is no hurry for it, dear Rosa; our tulips need not be put into the ground for a month at least. So you see we have plenty of time before us. Only I hope that, in planting your bulb, you will strictly follow all my instructions." "I promise you I will."
