Hence we may infer that one image of the tourmaline will show the ordinary green light of the crystal, while the other image will be black. Let us push our test still further. By means of an endless screw, the crystal can be turned ninety degrees round. I cause both beams to pass side by side through the air, catch them on a glass plate, and seek to reflect them upwards.
The last of the circle was Brooke Dalton, of whom this narrative has already had something to record. "So Tourmaline has thrown up the sponge, Pynsent?" Charles Milton began, after a short pause in the conversation. "Had enough of the Radical crew by this time!" "Yes. Of course, he has been out of sympathy with them for a long while. So have twenty or thirty more, if the truth were known."
I asked, remembering the loveliness of that face with its red and wilful lips and its ever-changing tourmaline eyes. "I'm afraid so," was Peter's answer. "But I've been wiring, and you'll be quite safe in telling your husband that she's in no actual danger. The Marine Hospital officials have acknowledged that no flame was inhaled, that it's merely temporary shock, and, of course, the face-burn."
If, at the sacrifice of half the light, we could abolish one of these, the other would place at our disposal a beam of polarized light, incomparably stronger than any attainable from tourmaline. The beams, as you know, are refracted differently, and from this, as made plain in §4, Lecture I., we are able to infer that the one may be totally reflected, when the other is not.
Your Sky Island ain't very big, so when we couldn't stay in the Blue Country, where ever'body hated us, or in the Fog Bank, which ain't healthy an' is too wet for humans to live in for long, we nat'rally were forced to enter the Pink Country, where we expected to find nice people." "We ARE nice," said Tourmaline, "but it is our country, not yours, and we have no place here for strangers.
At another time the steam is not so strong and only pushes the stuff out gently over the crater's edge. Many different minerals are found in these rocks iron, copper, lead, mica, zinc, sulphur. Some pieces are beautiful in color blue, green, red, yellow. Precious stones have sometimes been found garnets, topaz, quartz, tourmaline, lapis lazuli. But most of the stone is dull black or brown or gray.
We may begin the study of the polarization of light, with ease and profit, by means of a crystal of tourmaline. But we must start with a clear conception of an ordinary beam of light. It has been already explained that the vibrations of the individual ether-particles are executed across the line of propagation.
And she has tourmaline eyes, with reddish hazel specks in an iris of opaque blue, and small white teeth and lips with a telltale curve of wilfulness about them. She isn't exactly girlish, but with all her worldly wisdom she has a touch of the clinging-ivy type which must make her inordinately appealing to men.
"In that case," said Button-Bright, "you're entitled to the best there is to pay for your trouble. A powerful ruler ought to be rich and to live in a splendid palace. Your folks ought to treat you with great respect, as Trot says." "Oh no," responded Tourmaline quickly. "That would indeed be very wrong. Too much should never be given to anyone.
Those assembled were so startled by this statement that they gazed at the Rainbow's Daughter in astonishment for a time. Then Tourmaline asked, "Why not, your Highness?" "Because here is one lighter in color than yourself," pointed to Trot. Give me that circlet from your brow, Tourmaline."
