The 60-inch reflector, with an area 57,600 times that of the eye, reveals stars of the eighteenth magnitude, while to reach stars of about the twentieth magnitude, photographic exposures of four or five hours suffice with this instrument. Every gain of a magnitude means a great gain in the number of stars rendered visible.
To the naked eye this constellation consists of only six stars, but through a telescope ten inches in diameter, as many as six thousand are visible. Rosette, however, did not possess a reflector of this magnitude, and was obliged to content himself with the good but comparatively small instrument he had.
"You remember those two substances we found in the Nigran ships during the war?" "Sure," said Fuller. "One was transparent and the other was a perfect reflector. You said they were made of light photons so greatly condensed that they were held together by their gravitational fields." "Right. We called them light-metal. But Wade said that was too confusing.
It was like looking at a picture a moving picture and all was beautifully distinct. Our commander consulted a card, decided the speed of the warship, and then again propped his head against the reflector. "Raise periscope," ordered the two-striper.
Andrews leaned back against the wall sipping his dark-colored wine, his eyes contracted dreamily, fixed on the shadow of the chandelier, which the cheap oil-lamp with its tin reflector cast on the peeling plaster of the wall opposite. Chrisfield punched him. "Wake up, Andy, are you asleep?" "No," said Andy smiling. "Have a li'l mo' cognac." Chrisfield poured out two more glasses unsteadily.
Harry whistled, "You ought to know that, Dick! A heliograph field telegraph. Morse code or some code made by flashes. The sun catches a mirror or some sort of reflector, and it's just like a telegraph instrument, with dots and dashes, except that you work by sight instead of by sound. That is queer. Try to mark just where the house is, and so will I."
'O oh! had been their first cry as they caught sight of me in the doorway: and 'O oh! I heard them murmuring, child after child, in long-drawn fugue, as we made our way up the long length of the room that winked detection from every candle, every reflector, every foot of its polished floor. We gained the stage together by a short stairway draped with flags.
On the evening of November 11, 1883, when examining the interior of the great ring-plain Mersenius with a power of 350 on an 8 1/2 inch reflector; in addition to the two closely parallel clefts discovered by Schmidt, running from the inner foot of the north-eastern rampart towards the centre, I remarked another distinct cleft crossing the northern part of the floor from side to side.
Reflector B was hinged at its upper end at the top of the window frame, the only motion being necessary was that which would reflect upon the sitter the incident rays from reflector C the reflector B being kept at the required angle by the connecting lever m, etc. Suitable back-grounds were placed behind the sitter.
A remarkable instance of how the Lord controlled circumstances for the detention of one train, and speeded the arrival of the other, in answer to the prayer of a poor widow, who was in anxiety and distress, is thus known to the editor of The Watchman and Reflector: "Not long ago an engineer brought his train to a stand at a little Massachusetts village, where the passengers have five minutes for lunch.
