This orientates all the elements of the understanding, as the magnet collects into regular curves the filings of a magnetic metal. Thus were formed the personalities observed in times of great crises: the Crusades, the Reformation, the Revolution notably. At normal times the environment varies little, so that as a rule we see only a single personality in the individuals that surround us.
As one observes the countless instances accumulated in Mr. Sampson's notes, of the clippings and filings to which the free and spontaneous expression of Blake's genius has been subjected, one is reminded of a verse in one of his own lyrics, where he speaks of the beautiful garden in which Priests in black gowns were walking their rounds, And binding with briers my joys and desires;
I think, perhaps, the best illustration of such a point to us, as juveniles, is to shew the result of strong contrast. Here is a little gunpowder. You know that gunpowder burns with flame we may fairly call it flame. It contains carbon and other materials, which altogether cause it to burn with a flame. And here is some pulverised iron, or iron filings.
Leather gearing spun along with a continuous gliding, and there was ceaseless bustle and activity amidst the odoriferous dampness of all the steam. Scores of perspiring workmen, grimy with dust and filings, were still toiling. Still this was the final effort of the day.
"Such are the wonders of chemistry suggesting Emerson's claim, 'Thought sets men free. By a simple process flame applied to metal filings prison bars melt and vaulted dungeons flow like water." The article closes with this wonderful paragraph: "By chemistry the pale-faced modern Faust, working in his laboratory, makes metals out of clay and many marvellous combinations.
And she remembered, too, how in another department an old man with one eye had been filing a piece of iron, and how the iron filings were scattered about; and how a red-haired man in black spectacles, with holes in his shirt, had been working at a lathe, making something out of a piece of steel: the lathe roared and hissed and squeaked, and Anna Akimovna felt sick at the sound, and it seemed as though they were boring into her ears.
Peter's own chains, the special glory of our monastery, and perhaps its safeguard this day." Some such bombast would any monk of those days have talked in like case. And yet, so strange a thing is man, he might have been withal, like Herluin, a shrewd and valiant man. They brought out all the relics. They brought out the filings themselves, in a box of gold.
It is produced by simply putting a match to a mixture of aluminum filings and oxide of chromium, both metallic, and yet, as by magic, a mighty force is instantly created." The writer describes the discovery and processes at some length, and adds:
Technicalities, false filings, or open crookedness were used to hold rich valleys and creeks and water holes open or to block the settler's proof title. Because the problem was a federal one, the courts and men like Judge Bartine were powerless to act in the matter. The West needed fearless representation in Washington. If John Bartine were elected, westerners said, he would fight the land graft.
So, if we decompose water by means of iron filings, we produce two effects, rust and hydrogen. Now rust is already known, by experiments upon the component substances, to be an effect of the union of iron and oxygen: the iron we ourselves supplied, but the oxygen must have been produced from the water.
