In my rearing-jars, which are supplied with fine and very loose earth, they descend to a depth of three or four inches at most. I dig up a few in mid-winter. I always find them carrying their faint stern-light. About the month of April, they come up again to the surface, there to continue and complete their evolution. From start to finish, the Glow-worm's life is one great orgy of light.
After two or three days of that singular condition which is no longer life and yet not death, I isolate the patient and, although this is not really necessary to success, I give him a douche which will represent the shower so dear to the able-bodied mollusc. In about a couple of days, my prisoner, but lately injured by the Glow-worm's treachery, is restored to his normal state.

Let us add that, in aerated water, the luminousness continues as brilliant as in the free air, but that it is extinguished in water deprived of its air by boiling. No better proof could be found of what I have already propounded, namely, that the Glow-worm's light is the effect of a slow oxidation. The light is white, calm and soft to the eyes and suggests a spark dropped by the full moon.
It is reported that a French scientist has discovered the secret of the glow-worm's light. Of course it is a chemical reaction, what else could it be? but it is a chemical reaction in a vital process. Our mental and spiritual life our emotions of art, poetry, religion are inseparable from physical processes in the brain and the nervous system; but is that their final explanation?
Thus encouraged, Gerard fired the eyes and nostrils of the image and made the cure jump. Then lighted up the hair in patches; and set the whole face shining like a glow-worm's. "By'r Lady," shouted the cure, "'tis strange, and small my wonder that they took you for a magician, seeing a dead face thus fired. Now come thy ways with me!"
The mighty sun, which is the centre of all worlds, but a mote floating in the beam of His being! All the gathered wisdom of man, stored in the libraries of the world, but as a glow-worm's spark compared with the meridian light of His wisdom!

But she did all the things that soldiers do, was a bit of a foreigner; she brought a reputation up from the Welsh land, and it had a raven's croak and a glow-worm's drapery and a goblin's origin. Something was hinted of her having agitated London once. Somebody dropped word of her and that old Lord Levellier up at Croridge. She stalked park and country at night.
A strict regard to fact also would spoil those fairy tapers in "Midsummer Night's Dream," "The honey-bags steal from the humble-bees, And, for night-tapers, crop their waxen thighs, And light them at the fiery glow-worm's eyes," since it is not wax that bees bear upon their thighs, but pollen, the dust of the flowers, with which bees make their bread. Wax is made from honey.
