"And, therefore, will we try the effect of it upon his senses." Mr Tinfoil then played the air in "Midas": "Pray, Goody, please to moderate," etcetera. During which Mr Winterbottom looked more sulky than ever. As soon as the air was finished, another of the party responded with his flute, from the other boat while Mr Quince played what he called base, by snapping his fingers.
But Harry knew nothing of the most magnificent of his friend's trophies until it undulated gloriously down the aisle, above the heads of two men, white satin ribbons flying, tinfoil shining an enormous horseshoe of roses and mignonette! The parents were both on their feet to crane their necks after it, as it passed them amid the plaudits.
He laid one sheet on one of the blocks that Jimmy had cut out, and on top of that laid a sheet of tinfoil, then another sheet of paper and one of tinfoil, alternating in this way until he had a number of sheets lined up.
The things on the bookshelf were never disturbed, they were Eilie's half-broken cases with butterflies, a dead frog in a bottle, a horse-shoe covered with tinfoil, some shells too, and a cardboard box with three speckled eggs in it, and these words written on the lid: 'Missel-thrush from Lucy's tree second family, only one blown." He smoked fiercely, with puffs that were like sharp sighs.
In Leyden jars the loss due to air is comparatively small, as the tinfoil coatings are large, close together, and the charged surfaces not directly exposed; but when the potentials are very high, the loss may be more or less considerable at, or near, the upper edge of the foil, where the air is principally acted upon.
"I was hired for the purpose," replied Tom, dipping his oar in the water, and giving a hearty stroke. "Stick to your own element, then shove your oar into the water, but not into our discourse." "Well, sir, I won't say another word, if you don't like it." "But you may to me," said Titania, laughing, "whenever you please." "And to me too," said Tinfoil, who was amused with Tom's replies.
The Leyden jar is illustrated in figure 9, and consists in general of a glass bottle partly coated inside and out with tinfoil F, and having a brass knob K connecting with its internal coat. When the charged plate or conductor of the electrophorus touches the knob the inner foil takes a positive charge, which induces a negative charge in the outer foil through the glass.
Don Francisco Salva y Campillo, of Barcelona, in 1795, proposed to make a telegraph between Barcelona and Mataro, either overhead or underground, and he remarks of the wires, 'at the bottom of the sea their bed would be ready made, and it would be an extraordinary casualty that should disturb them. In Salva's telegraph, the signals were to be made by illuminating letters of tinfoil with the spark.
Something more valuable than the tinfoil off a wine-bottle top, I'll warrant!" The footman looked around at me, then at Louis and Ivan, and finally at Holmes, whose threatening expression cowed him, and he shambled over and, with a deep-drawn sigh, gave up the eighth diamond cuff-button.
"Who can fry fish?" cried Tinfoil. "Here are two pairs of soles and some eels. Where's Caliban?" "Here I am, sir," replied the man on his knees, blowing up a fire which he had kindled. "I have got the soup to mind." "Where's Stephano?" "Cooling the wine, sir." "Who, then, can fry fish, I ask?" "I can, sir," replied Tom; "but not without butter."
