This is a lens composed of rock crystal, about an inch and a half in diameter, and nearly an inch thick, having one plain and one convex surface, and somewhat rudely shaped and polished which, however gives a tolerably distinct focus at the distance of 4 1/2 inches from the plane side, and which may have been used either as a magnifying glass or to concentrate the rays of the sun.
Then he carried it to the window, and, taking his lens from his pocket, examined the paper closely, first with the low power, and then with the highly magnifying Coddington attachment. "I should have thought you could see that with the naked eye," said the inspector, with a sly grin at me. "It's a pretty bold design." "Yes," replied Thorndyke; "a very interesting production. What do you say, Mr.
A short time before, they were contending against him; but now, since he had established his ascendency, they all eagerly joined in the work of magnifying it and making it illustrious. Nor could Philip justly complain of the hollowness and falseness of these professions of friendship. The compliments and favors which he offered to them were equally hollow and heartless.
"Don't you remember how those snowflakes we looked at under the magnifying glass on Ethel Blue's birthday burst into magnificent crystals? You wouldn't think a handful of earth just plain dirt was pretty, would you? But it is. Look at it through a microscope and see what happens." "But, Grandfather, if the beauty is there right now why can't we see it?" insisted Ethel Brown. Mr.
You may even pick out such shapes as these from the common crystallized brown sugar in the sugar basin, or see them with a magnifying glass on a lump of white sugar.

Diamonds are crystals of carbon, made inside the earth.
His tin box strapped to his shoulder, his net in his hand, his large magnifying glass suspended to his neck, sometimes behind, sometimes in front, he scampered away among the high herbs, watching for orthopters or any other insect in "pter," at the risk of being bit by some venomous serpent. During the first hour Mrs. Weldon, uneasy, called him back twenty times. It was no use.
This does not result from comparative depreciation of others so much as from a habit of magnifying his own image. He always poses for effect. He walks, talks, and acts "as if he felt the eyes of Europe on his tail," almost as much as the peacock.
That God, in the salvation, and so in the confession, of the sinner, designs the magnifying of his mercy, is apparent enough from the whole current of scripture; and that any of the things now mentioned will, if suffered to be done, darken and eclipse this thing, is evident to reason itself.
Just opposite, on the other side of the street, lived a working watchmaker whom Quenu, through the curtainless window, could see leaning over a little table, manipulating all sorts of delicate things, and patiently gazing at them through a magnifying glass all day long. The lad was much attracted by the sight, and declared that he had a taste for watchmaking.
She returned his gaze smiling, and feigned to tremble. "I'm so glad I have, Ben. You look so severe." "And did you take that magnifying glass?" "Yes." "Wasn't I right?" asked Ben with some relief. "You were. I like the girl. I feel we are going to be friends." "Well, then, how about her being a clerk for Miss Upton?"
