The catch is often very good, and the boats come back to the huts laden with the ogre fish, destined to be eaten in their turn! Have you ever thought what it must be like right down there in the deeps below the green water? We can't see because of the light striking the surface, but if we had a water-glass we could.
When the bottles were packed our bottle was packed amongst them; it little expected then to finish its career as a bottle neck, or to be used as a water-glass to a bird's-cage, which is, after all, a place of honor, for it is to be of some use in the world.
I had to tell the captain, but he said he would keep his mouth shut, for he didn't like the stock-broker any more than I did. "Well, miss, I made that water-glass.
Two easy-chairs beside the bed showed where the old folks oftenest sat; Abel's home corner was there by the antique desk covered with farmers' literature and samples of seeds; Phebe's work-basket stood in the window; Nat's lathe in the sunniest corner; and from the speckless carpet to the canary's clear water-glass all was exquisitely neat, for love and labor were the handmaids who served the helpless woman and asked no wages but her comfort.
I had been there before, and had seen all the wonders of the reef through a water-glass, which is a wooden box, with a pane of glass at one end and open at the other. You hold the glass end of this box just under the water, and put your face to the open end, and then you can see down under the water, exactly as if you were looking through the air.
"You make a light box about twenty inches high and a foot square, and with both ends open. Then you get a pane of glass and fasten it securely in one end of this box. Then you've got your water-glass a tall box with a glass bottom. "The way that you use it is this: You get in a boat, and put the box in the water, glass bottom down.
John, excited with drink, was making some wild quotation out of Macbeth, but Swift stopped him. "Drink no more, my lord, for God's sake!" says he. "I come with the most dreadful news." "Is the Queen dead?" cries out Bolingbroke, seizing on a water-glass.
Susan sobbed with sorrow and fear, but her emotion was far from disabling her. She poured some of her scent into a water-glass and diluted it largely. She made her aunt take a hand-screen from the mantel-piece. She plunged her hand into the liquid and flung the drops sharply into Mr. Eden's face; and Mrs. Davies fanned him rapidly at the same time. These remedies had a speedy effect.
In the borders were placed bottles, each containing a light, and among them the bottle with which we are acquainted, and whose fate it was, one day, to be only a bottle neck, and to serve as a water-glass to a bird's-cage.
In certain geological formations, the diatomaceae deposit, at the bottom of fresh-water ponds, beds of silicious shields, valuable as a material for a species of very light firebrick, in the manufacture of water-glass and of hydraulic cement, and ultimately, doubtless, in many yet undiscovered industrial processes.
