Jadwin had, as Gretry put it, "timed Crookes to a split second," foreseeing the exact moment when he would make his supreme effort. Sure enough, on that very Saturday Crookes was selling more freely than ever, confident of breaking the Bull ere the closing gong should ring. But before the end of the morning wheat was up two cents. Buying orders had poured in upon the market.
Thus, says Sir W. Crookes, each drop of rain falling on the surface of still water is not perceived as a drop of rain, but by reason of the slight splash which it causes at the moment of impact, and which is manifested by ridges and waves spreading themselves in circles. The various radioactive substances do not all give radiations of identical constitution.
"I certainly do not believe in these childish mysteries," responded Miller, "and it is strange to me that men like Sir Oliver Lodge and Sir William Crookes should believe in slate-writing and levitation and all the rest of that hocus-pocus." "Nevertheless, hypnotism is a fact," insisted Brierly. "You must have some faith in the big books on the subject filled with proof. Think of the tests "
"No, I'm I'm just as well out of it." "And it's for good and all this time, eh?" "For good and all." "Well," commented Cressler, "some one else has begun where you left off, I guess. This Unknown Bull, I mean. All the boys are trying to find out who he is. Crookes, though, was saying to me Cal Crookes, you know he was saying he didn't care who he was.
Ain't you glad you aren't short of wheat these days?" "There's plenty of fellows that are, though," returned Gretry. "I've got a lot of short wheat on my books a lot of it." All at once as Gretry spoke Jadwin started, and looked at him with a curious glance. "You have, hey?" he said. "There are a lot of fellows who have sold short?" "Oh, yes, some of Crookes' followers yes, quite a lot of them."
Crookes, pursuing the same method, discovered the bright green band of Thallium, and obtained the salts of the metal which yielded it. The metal itself was first isolated in ingots by M. Lamy, a French chemist. All this relates to chemical discovery upon earth, where the materials are in our own hands.
If we fall back on collective hallucination, then that hallucination is something of world-wide diffusion, ancient and continuous, for the effects are those attributed by Iamblichus to his mystics, by the Church to her saints, by witnesses to the 'possessed, by savages to medicine-men, and by Mr. Crookes and Lord Crawford to D. D. Home.
Imoda concluded as the result of his experiments that "the radiations of radium, the cathode radiations of the Crookes' tube, and mediumistic radiations are fundamentally the same." Some other very interesting facts have been observed by means of the electroscope. For example, Dr.
He put his hands in his pockets and looked at Cressler. "Does he know?" faltered Cressler. "Do you suppose he could have heard that I was in this clique of yours?" "Not unless you told him yourself." Cressler stood up, clearing his throat. "I have not told him, Mr. Crookes," he said. "You would do me an especial favor if you would keep it from the public, from everybody, from Mr.
Somewhat later William Crookes of London, an equally famous chemist and physicist, entered upon a similar investigation, and with like results.
