He had been in the employ of the Pinkerton Agency for six weeks this last time before he was ordered to go down and join the I. W. W. He stated in answer to a question by Vanderveer: "I was instructed to go down there and find out who these fellows were that was handling this phosphorus and pulling off this sabotage and the only way I could find out was to get a card and get in and get acquainted with them."
My flannel waistcoat, when rubbed in the dark, appeared as if it had been washed with phosphorus, every hair on a dog's back crackled; even the linen sheets, and leathern straps of the saddle, when handled, emitted sparks. March 23rd.
Mary County, Maryland, with results as follows: 160 pounds of phosphorus 18,500 pounds of potassium 3,480 pounds of magnesium 1,000 pounds of calcium Percy stared at these figures when he brought them together for comparison. He then checked up his computations to be sure they were right. "Almost twenty times as much phosphorus!" he said to himself. "Is it possible?
Some were intended to set on fire whatever they came in contact with, being of phosphorus. Others were explosive bombs, pure and simple, while some were flares, intended to light up the scene at night and make getting a target easier.
At present I am obliged to continue in my folly, begging reason to await my return. In the intense darkness of despair, one naturally rushes towards the horizon where shines some bright object, be it lighthouse, star, phosphorus or jack-o'-lantern. Will it prove a safe haven or a dangerous rock? Fate, Chance, to thee we trust! My faithful agents are ever watchful.
"You are thinking of phosphorus, Freddie," explained Mr. Bobbsey. "That is different, and it is poisonous." Then the drinks were ordered and quickly served. "And now I want to go to see the big fish!" said Freddie, sipping the last drops of his sweet drink. "Are there any animals in the 'quarium, Daddy?" "Well, there aren't any lions or tigers," answered Mr. Bobbsey.
I give you this caution, because phosphorus possesses a very curious property, which might attract little girls. Wherever it is rubbed, in the dark, on a door, or on a wall, it leaves a luminous trail of a very peculiar appearance, which has been called phosphorescent, from the name of the substance which produces it.
That magnificent planet which as Phosphorus or Lucifer, Hesperus or Vesper, the evening star, the morning star, or the shepherd's star has never failed to attract the rapturous admiration of the most indifferent observers, here revealed herself with unprecedented glory, exhibiting all the phases of a lustrous moon in miniature.
"I'll take it on, then, Hatton, if you like," I said. "It ought to keep me in form." I found that it did. I ceased to be aware of my liver. That winter I was able to work to good purpose, and the result was that I arrived. It dawned upon me at last that the "precarious" idea was played out. One could see too plainly the white sheet and phosphorus. And I was happy.
"What is phosphoric acid? Well, the professor of chemistry says it is a compound containing three atoms of hydrogen, one of phosphorus, and four of oxygen. It is a syrupy liquid and one of the strongest mineral acids. In concentrated form it is as caustic as oil of vitriol. Why, here you have a Century dictionary. That should tell what phosphoric acid is.
