A tiny bulb forms on the end, and this has to be ground away till the central hole is reached. This is ascertained by the water test, or by holding the pen point upwards, so that light is reflected from the tip, and examining it under the magnifier. Then grind the edge off, as in the first case. Care of Pens.
He gave a pocket case, containing writing tools, slide rule and magnifier, to the bearded man on the other side of Dallona. "Something you can use, Dr. Harnosh," he said. Then he took a belt, with a knife and holstered pistol, from a servant who had brought it to him, and gave it to the man with the red badge. "And something for you, Dirzed.
He placed the pictures directly under a lamp and studied them with the aid of the magnifier. "It is Thomas Camillion," he said finally. "Your friend Sandy Allen has a sharp eye. I wouldn't have known him, either." That surprised Rick.

The altimeter showed that he was hovering at eight thousand feet above ground-level.
This acted like a magnifier, for now he heard it plainly enough the sound of a horse at full gallop but so far away that it was five minutes before he could clearly hear it while standing. As the sound neared, he heard the clank of arms, and when it passed, Rolf knew that this was a mounted British officer. But why, and whither?
Now, when I've opened the meeting, you'll tell him! 'Oh, dear! the young woman patted her fringe, 'do you suppose we'll be in the Magnifier to-morrow? How dreadful! During this little interchange a procession of men streaming homeward in their hundreds came walking down the Embankment in twos and threes or singly, shambling past the loosely gathered assemblage about the bench.
