Professor Henderson realized this and knew that the chief concern would be to discover a gas or vapor with five times the lifting power of hydrogen, one of the lightest gases known, and one sometimes used to inflate balloons. After long study he had been partially successful, but he knew from experiments made that the gas he had so far been able to manufacture would not answer.
Jimmie grinned at the noise; it made him happy. Such a morning, such a water, such a lack of anything to disturb one's peace! Let man's better nature revel in the beauties of existence; they inflate his soul.
"If I had anything by means of which I could inflate the lungs," said d'Avrigny, looking around him, "perhaps I might prevent suffocation. But there is nothing which would do nothing!" "Oh, sir," cried Barrois, "are you going to let me die without help? Oh, I am dying! Oh, save me!" "A pen, a pen!" said the doctor.
It is wearisome and haunting; it seems to be the manifestation, the noise expressive of the kind of life peculiar to this region of the world. It is the voice of summer in these islands; it is the song of unconscious rejoicing, always content with itself and always appearing to inflate, to rise, in a greater and greater exultation at the sheer happiness of living.
Some persons ingeniously empty the skins and inflate them over a flame so that they may be pinned by the side of the adult. Some of the most troublesome and noxious insects are found among the moths. I need only mention the canker worm and American tent caterpillar, and the various kinds of cut worms, as instances. We must not, however, forget the good done by insects.
Nelsen didn't find free fall very hard to take, either. Right after that came the scramble to see how fast you could get into an Archer, unfold and inflate a bubb and rig its gear. "That's all, Mister," the observer with the camera told Nelsen in a bored tone. "Results will be mailed to your home within twelve hours Mr. Nelsen," a girl informed him as she read his name from a printed card.
"Get that character out here to help us inflate and rig his own equipment! We did enough for him! So if the Force notices that there are ten bubbs instead of nine, the extra is still just our spare... Hey Tiflin!" "Nuts I'm looking after Pantywaist," Tiflin growled back. "Awright," Art returned. "So we just cast your junk adrift! Come on, boy!" There was no kidding in the dry tone.
We dare not inflate ourselves as superbly as we should like to do, because our genial countrymen stand ever ready to prick us into sudden collapse. "It is the laugh we enjoy at our own expense which betrays us to the rest of the world." Perhaps we laugh too readily. Perhaps we are sometimes amused when we ought to be angry. Perhaps we jest when it is our plain duty to reform.
Blown from her course, the Monarch was now over an open polar sea, into which she might be dashed at any moment. The tornado still howled and roared outside, making it impossible to inflate the gas bag, so strong was the pressure of wind on it. And without a fresh supply of gas, the ship must fall. There was no abatement to the tornado. The ship was tossed more violently than ever.
So rich that I can let the bath soap float around in the water without any pricks of conscience. So successful that they'll say, 'And he's a mere boy, too. Imagine!" And, "Jock dear," Emma McChesney said, "you've still to learn that plans and ambitions are like soap bubbles. The harder you blow and the more you inflate them, the quicker they burst.
