Then he lighted a Bunsen burner and thrust the paper into the flame. The paper did not burn! "A new system of fire-proofing," laughed Craig, enjoying my astonishment. He continued to hold the paper in the flame. Still it did not burn. "See?" he went on, withdrawing it, and starting to explain the properties of the new fire-proofer. He had scarcely begun, when he stopped in surprise.
Who do you think broke it?" "How should I know, sir?" His bird's eyes, in their troubled shadow, turned uneasily from the detective's glance. "Nevertheless, you can hazard an opinion. Why not? The case is over and done with now, and Penreath or Ronald, as he called himself is condemned to death. So who do you think broke that burner, Benson?" "Who else but the murderer, sir?"
They were just too thick-skulled to have it make much difference to them one way or the other. On the other hand, an Exec would probably go all to pieces in a burner. If it didn't kill him outright, he'd at least be sick for days. They were too soft to take even a touch of it. No Class One, so far as The Guesser knew, had ever been subjected to that sort of treatment, and a Two only got it rarely.
A large curved retort was boiling furiously in the bluish flame of a Bunsen burner, and the distilled drops were condensing into a two-litre measure. My friend hardly glanced up as I entered, and I, seeing that his investigation must be of importance, seated myself in an arm-chair and waited.
Of the argand burners, Guise's shadowless argand has been considered the best, but of late years Sugg's Letheby burner has carried off the palm. Wood's burner has been a favorite, as, being a fishtail, it could be used with a short chimney, which gives the flame steadiness.
Welsbach calls this his "mantle;" and by a simple arrangement he fits it on a Bunsen burner, and places an ordinary lamp chimney over it. When the flame is applied, the "mantle" becomes incandescent, and gives out a brilliant yellow light, which, it may be said without exaggeration, will compare favorably with any electric light yet put on the market.
He may think, with Origen, that God intends all his creatures to be ultimately happy, and yet be considered as loving a follower of Christ as a "dealer of damnation round the land," or the burner of a fellow-creature. Pulci was in advance of his time on more subjects than one. He pronounced the existence of a new and inhabited world, before the appearance of Columbus.
The following day Beric, taking with him the greater portion of his band, marched across the hills under the guidance of the charcoal burner, who had now enrolled himself regularly in its ranks, and had taken the oath of obedience. Their course lay to the northeast, as it was in the Bay of Tarentum that rumour reported that the Romans would land.
At parting Margery said, with an interest quite tender, 'I should like to see you again, Mrs. Peach, and hear of your attachment. When can you call? 'Oh any time, dear Baroness, I'm sure if you think I am good enough. 'Indeed, I do, Mrs. Peach. Come as soon as you've seen the lime- burner again.
"It would be a good thing," said the young fellow, interrupting him, "if some person would invent a burner that should heat the gas before its discharge. We could then get a perfect combustion of the carbon, and so greater brilliancy and economy." "That is a very common error. Mr. Leslie's burner was designed on that very theory: the result was contrary to expectation."
