These he placed on the broad, table-like bench, and on being requested hurried up-stairs again to fetch a large glass jar-shaped vessel, and a graduated measuring-glass. "Now," said Uncle Richard, "this process is a chemical experiment, but upon reading it I felt that it was as good as a conjuring trick, and a very grand one too.
Now, as if challenged and challenging, he drew the smaller measuring-glass toward him with one hand. He held it to the light and moved his finger nail slowly along the middle measuring line. Then with two hands that trembled he poured into it a part of the infusion. The liquid went tink-tinkling in a succession of little jerks.
This experiment proves that the active power of the radium penetrated the following substances: "Glass in the form of a tube, sealed at both ends; the rubber thermometer-holder; silver tureen; four copper plates; a glass vase or measuring-glass one-quarter of an inch in thickness; three inches of water.
"I was alongside of him now, my arm under his, guiding him into a chair. "'Are you faint? "'Yes got a drop of anything, "Doc"? That's all I want. It ain't nothing. "I opened my closet, took out a bottle of brandy and poured some into a measuring-glass. He drank it, leaned his head for an instant against my arm and, with the help of my hand slipped under his armpit, again struggled to his feet.
"Mercier not in?" he asked, sternly. "Not yet," said Ranny. And as he said it he possessed himself very gently of the measuring-glass and bottle. "What is it?" "Tincture of strophanthus, sodæ bicarb., and spirits of chloroform. Just you mind how you handle it." "Right-O!" said Ranny. The chemist's small, iron-gray eyes were fixed on him with severity and resentment. "How much?" said Ranny.
In this dilemma he chose a medium course, with aromatic spirits of ammonia, and mixing a diluted quantity in a measuring-glass, poured it between her white lips. A start, a struggle, a cough a volley of imprecatory French, and the knocking of the glass from his hand followed but she came to!
Raoul made a dash for his hat, and the next moment she heard, with unpleasant distinctness, his impetuous hand slam the shop door and lock her in. "Baille ma do l'eau" she called to the little mulattress, who responded by searching wildly for a cup and presently bringing a measuring-glass full of water. Clotilde gave it to the wounded man, and he rose at once and stood on his feet. "Raoul."
The thought is one that is insupportably lonely, and sometimes she looks at the invalid-chair, at the cup and saucer in which she serves her mother's simple food, at the medicine-bottle and the measuring-glass, at the knitted shawl which protects the frail old form against draughts, and at all such sad furniture of an invalid's life, and pictures the day when the homely, affectionate use of all these things will be gone forever; for so poignant is humanity that it sanctifies with endearing associations even objects in themselves so painful and prosaic.
This was placed under a heavy silver tureen fully one-sixteenth of an inch in thickness; upon this were placed four copper plates, such as are used for engraving; upon these a heavy graduated measuring-glass 10 cm. in diameter; this was filled with water to a depth of six inches. A diamond was suspended in the water and immediately phosphoresced.
