"How do you come to have the five hundred then?" asked Horace suspiciously. Frank flushed but did not hesitate. "A present from my grandmother," he said, trusting to luck that Jardin would not know that the lady had been dead for many years. "Well, if she doesn't go by to-night, she is yours for the five hundred," promised Jardin. "I wonder where those mechanicians are. Let's go look them up."
The mechanicians had finished putting it in shape for demonstration and trial. He himself would have to test it over the rest of the afternoon and arrange for power and so forth. By evening, when Commander McLaurin called around with some of the other investors in Kendall's "bank" on Luna, the thing was already started, warming up.
"Well, the boys call her Clip, and it's handy." By this time the new car was up in line with the others. "'Lo, there!" called Cecilia, jerking her machine to a stop in the manner deplored by skilled mechanicians. "Look out!" cautioned Cora. "You'll `bust' something." Cecilia had bounded out on the road. "Stiff as a stick!" she exclaimed with a rather becoming twist of her agile form.
May not our mechanicians, in like manner, be ultimately forced to admit that aerial flight is one of that great class of problems with which man can never cope, and give up all attempts to grapple with it? The fact is that invention and discovery have, notwithstanding their seemingly wide extent, gone on in rather narrower lines than is commonly supposed.
Then there is a loud outcry among all the smaller contrivers, who see themselves distanced in the race; and hence men such as Watt, Stephenson, and Arkwright, have usually to defend their reputation and their rights as practical and successful inventors. Richard Arkwright, like most of our great mechanicians, sprang from the ranks. He was born in Preston in 1732.
"I'm going to do my best," he answered, grimly, as he glanced across to where the other boat was forging through the water. And in her boat Ruth was saying the same thing. Each skipper had been holding something in reserve in the way of power, and now the mechanicians were signalled to use this.
Meanwhile Kennedy took charge of the hangar where the injured machine was. The men had been in a sort of panic; Humphrey could not be found, and the only reason, I think, why the two mechanicians stayed was because something was due them on their pay. Kennedy wrote them out personal checks for their respective amounts, but dated them two days ahead to insure their staying.
In Homer, in all the ancients, the ideal country is merely a more delightful reality; and its inhabitants happier everyday men and women; in the poetry sprung from the Middle Ages it is always a fairy-land constructed by mechanicians and architects. For, as we have seen, the Middle Ages could bequeath to the sixteenth century no ideal of peaceful outdoor enjoyment.
He hopes to search into the plans and works of the architects of fortifications and makers of maps and, by no means least, he is anxious to become thoroughly familiar with the inventions of mechanicians, which have so long aroused his interest."
We have already seen how skilful the Italian managers and mechanicians of spectacular sacred plays were in preparing brilliant scenic effects for their productions.
