John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R. Austin Freeman Professor Michelson has undertaken some new researches by a method which is a combination of the principle of the toothed wheel of Fizeau with the revolving mirror of Foucault. The New Physics and Its Evolution The first experiment tried with the revolving mirror produced a deflection considerably greater than that obtained by Foucault. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Wheatstone's device of the revolving mirror was afterwards employed by Foucault and Fizeau to measure the velocity of light. Heroes of the Telegraph By an experiment proposed by Arago, and executed with consummate skill by Foucault and Fizeau, this question was brought to a crucial test, and decided in favour of the theory of undulation. Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 Suddenly Foucault, who was facing forward, saw his companion turn pale and stare aft with an expression of terror. John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R.

Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Foucault, according to his own words, "did not judge proper to execute it." The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 12 I have already referred to the experiment of Foucault; but other workers also had been engaged on the borders of this subject before it was taken up by Bunsen and Kirchhoff. Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 The two men now separated for the first time, Parratt going aft to take his trick at the wheel, and Foucault being set to help in getting ready the ground tackle. John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R. Austin Freeman It will surprise many, perhaps, to learn that in Foucault's original mode of suspension the upper end of the wire bearing the pendulum bob was fastened to a metal plate by means of a screw. Scientific American Supplement, No. 447, July 26, 1884 In Foucault's apparatus oil was furnished to the pivots, through small holes running through the screws, by pressure of a column of mercury. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Foucault, in his Memoirs, in which he exhibits his triumphs with cynicism, does not, however, avow all the means. The Great Events by Famous Historians, Volume 12 Foucault, Thomson, and Balfour Stewart have all been near the discovery, while, as already stated, it was almost hit by the acute but unpublished conjecture of Stokes.' Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 Having finished their work aloft, Foucault and Parratt who were both in the port watch, came down on deck, and then, it being their watch below, they went and turned in. John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R. Austin Freeman I was thinking much more of Foucault's grand experiment, one of the most sublime visible demonstrations of a great physical fact in the records of science. Our Hundred Days in Europe The part corresponding to C, in Foucault's apparatus, was furnished with three vertical screws, by moving which the axis of figure was brought into coincidence with the axis of rotation. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis At dinner he was asked by his host to explain Foucault's pendulum experiment. The Travels of Marco Polo — Volume 1 With his large Nicol prisms he in the first place repeated and explained the experiments of Foucault and Fizeau, and subsequently enriched the subject by very beautiful additions of his own. Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 The coin was accordingly spun, and the pearl went to Foucault's chest. John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R. Austin Freeman Nothing except dinner had happened since the arrival of Madame Foucault and the young man. The Old Wives' Tale As far as I am aware, Foucault does not speak of this difficulty. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Just as the carriage was driving off, the concierge came across the pavement and paid her compliments, and then said: "You do not know by hazard why Madame Foucault has not returned for lunch, madame?" The Old Wives' Tale Thus Foucault, in 1849, came to the verge of Kirchhoff's discovery. Six Lectures on Light Delivered In The United States In 1872-1873 From this moment Foucault lived in a state of continual apprehension. John Thorndyke's Cases related by Christopher Jervis and edited by R. Austin Freeman Under the lamp lay Madame Foucault on the floor, a shapeless mass of lace, frilled linen, and corset; her light brown hair was loose and spread about the floor. The Old Wives' Tale In Cornu's elaborate memoir upon the determination of the velocity of light, several objections are made to the plan followed by Foucault, which will be considered in the latter part of this work. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Doubtless Madame Foucault fulfilled her own prediction as to her ultimate destiny, but in Brussels. The Old Wives' Tale And she felt very sorry for the ageing, feckless Madame Foucault, whose sincerity was obvious. The Old Wives' Tale Apparently Madame Foucault was doomed to be the toy of chance. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault made the beginning of a gesture, as if she meant to kiss Sophia with those thick, marred lips; but refrained. The Old Wives' Tale In November, 1877, a modification of Foucault's arrangement suggested itself, by which this result could be accomplished. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Madame Foucault and a man very much younger than Madame Foucault got out of it. The Old Wives' Tale She dropped on to her own bed and picked up a book, in case Madame Foucault should come in. The Old Wives' Tale In the evening, just after night had fallen, Sophia on the bed heard the sound of raised and acrimonious voices in Madame Foucault's room. The Old Wives' Tale From the extraordinary freshness of Madame Foucault's woe, it might have been supposed that her young man had only that instant strode out. The Old Wives' Tale The micrometer eye-piece used was substantially the same as Foucault's, except that part of the inclined plate of glass was silvered, thus securing a much greater quantity of light. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Madame Foucault would not treat her as an ordinary lodger, now that the illness was past. The Old Wives' Tale Laurence told her not to worry, and went off to show the bracelet to Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale Laurence had left the flat—under exactly what circumstances Sophia knew not, but she guessed that it must have been in consequence of a scene elaborating the tiff caused by Madame Foucault's resentment against Laurence. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault had signed bills and had not met them. The Old Wives' Tale It was first accomplished by Foucault, and in a manner differing apparently but little from the foregoing. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis The servant had been dismissed; in her place Madame Foucault employed a charwoman each morning for two hours. The Old Wives' Tale Before the men left Madame Foucault uncorked a bottle of wine for them, and helped them to drink it. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault contentedly went up to the sixth floor to occupy the servant's bedroom. The Old Wives' Tale Sophia slowly perceived the extent of Madame Foucault's duplicity and moral cowardice. The Old Wives' Tale The difficulty was partly met by Foucault, by using five concave reflectors instead of one, but even then the greatest distance he found it practicable to use was only 20 meters. Experimental Determination of the Velocity of Light Made at the U.S. Naval Academy, Annapolis Sophia felt the nearness of the idea and she wanted to be shocked at the notion of any avowed association between herself and Madame Foucault; but she could not be. The Old Wives' Tale And her tone implied that somehow she was conscious of a right to overlook the affair of Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale "Ah, my faith, no!" exclaimed Madame Foucault, bridling. The Old Wives' Tale "Save me!" exclaimed Madame Foucault, sinking to the ground. The Old Wives' Tale Tears came at once into the eyes of Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale Sophia consented to the business proposition; for she had nothing else whatever in prospect, and she shared Madame Foucault's rosy view about the remunerativeness of the bedrooms. The Old Wives' Tale And about one o'clock Madame Foucault, disarrayed, would come to inquire if the servant had attended to the needs of the invalid. The Old Wives' Tale "You are very kind," replied Madame Foucault, from the pillow. The Old Wives' Tale "You are an angel of charity!" cried Madame Foucault, embracing Sophia's skirts. The Old Wives' Tale But Madame Foucault's face quickly resumed its anxious expression. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault was not rejuvenated by her toilette, but it almost procured her pardon for the crime of being over forty, fat, creased, and worn out. The Old Wives' Tale Such were the thoughts that mingled with the sympathy of the beautiful and slim Sophia as she bent down to Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault's head had dropped between the pillows. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault grew rapidly confidential with the man. The Old Wives' Tale She wanted to shake Madame Foucault into self- respect and sagacity. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault was therefore within the truth when she again protested, at sight of the bank- notes which Sophia brought from her trunk: "I am sure that it is too much." The Old Wives' Tale Suddenly Sophia noticed that Madame Foucault was no longer at her elbow. The Old Wives' Tale Despite her genuine gratitude to Madame Foucault for astounding care during her illness, Sophia did not like her landlady, and the present scene made her coldly wrathful. The Old Wives' Tale At four o'clock, the weather being more magnificent than ever, Madame Foucault said: "If we took a promenade on the boulevard?" The Old Wives' Tale "I have not a single friend now," stammered Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale "I never treated badly any man in my life," whimpered Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale Sophia nodded and smiled, and Madame Foucault also nodded and smiled. The Old Wives' Tale The relations between Madame Foucault and herself, and her status in the flat of which she now legally owned the furniture,—these things were left unsettled. The Old Wives' Tale She remembered it was the young man with whom Madame Foucault had quarrelled on the night when Sophia found her prone in the corridor; the last remaining worshipper of the courtesan. The Old Wives' Tale "Here are a lady and a gentleman who want a bedroom," began Madame Foucault, "a nice large bedroom, furnished." The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault happened to be getting into a cab at the moment; but she had told Chirac nevertheless to carry Sophia into the house, and a policeman had helped. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault had suffered in one as a patient, and Laurence had been a nurse in another. The Old Wives' Tale "Ah!" said Madame Foucault, shrugging the shoulders of disillusion. The Old Wives' Tale She prowled into all the corners of the flat; but she discovered no more rooms, nothing but a large cupboard crammed with Madame Foucault's dresses. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault continued to recite her woes, chiefly financial, in a weak voice damp with tears; she also continued to apologize for mentioning herself. The Old Wives' Tale For a double reason Sophia was exasperated: by Madame Foucault's absurd desire, and by a natural objection to the role of a subject for philanthropy. The Old Wives' Tale Mysteries brooded without as well as within the flat of Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale Her own door was thrust open, and Madame Foucault burst in. The Old Wives' Tale These two had evidently dined informally in the bedroom on a dish or so prepared by Madame Foucault, who had herself served Sophia with her invalid's repast. The Old Wives' Tale She asked sternly what Madame Foucault expected her to do. The Old Wives' Tale From, beginning to end the conduct of Madame Foucault had been fatuous and despicable and wicked. The Old Wives' Tale "Oh, you are still suffering!" said Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale "I do not like to accept money from you," said Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale But when Sophia bent over Madame Foucault, and touched her flabbiness, this illusion at once vanished; and instead of being dramatically pathetic the woman was ridiculous. The Old Wives' Tale She would not admit that Madame Foucault's devotion as a nurse entitled her to the satisfaction of being a philanthropist when there was no necessity for philanthropy. The Old Wives' Tale "I speak not of that," Madame Foucault modestly replied. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault looked at them gluttonously, as any other person would have done in her place. The Old Wives' Tale Hence the eagerness with which, urging Madame Foucault to go to her father, Sophia had protested that she was perfectly strong and could manage by herself for a couple of days. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault fell on the bed, of which the counterpane had been thrown over the foot. The Old Wives' Tale Owing to the partial suppression of the ordinary railway services in favour of military needs, Madame Foucault could not hope to go and return on the same day. The Old Wives' Tale It had belonged to the concierge, who had acquired it from a previous tenant and sold it on credit to Madame Foucault. The Old Wives' Tale With what arrogant gestures Madame Foucault would descend from a carriage at the great door! The Old Wives' Tale Had not Madame Foucault knowingly exposed her, without the least warning, to the extreme annoyance of this visit of the law, a visit which meant practically that Sophia was put into the street? The Old Wives' Tale She was annoyed because she was sure that Madame Foucault was only making a pretence of delicacy, and that in any case her delicacy was preposterous. The Old Wives' Tale "It isn't a thousand francs!" said Madame Foucault with eagerness. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault indicated by a gesture that the Rue Breda was not the paradise of saints. The Old Wives' Tale She could hear Madame Foucault sobbing quietly in one of the other rooms; and her lips curled. The Old Wives' Tale Perceiving that Madame Foucault showed no signs of bestirring herself, Sophia, with good nature in her heart but not on her tongue, went to her, and said: "Shall I occupy myself with the dinner?" The Old Wives' Tale Sophia coldly condemned Madame Foucault for having allowed herself to be brought into the world with such a weak and maudlin character, and for having allowed herself to grow old and ugly. The Old Wives' Tale "That would be very amiable on your part," Madame Foucault managed at last to reply, not very articulately. The Old Wives' Tale Madame Foucault was amazed at the thoroughness of her housewifery, and at the ingenuity of her ideas for the arrangement of furniture. The Old Wives' Tale That night, when Sophia was in bed, Madame Foucault came into the room, and dropped down by the side of the bed, and begged Sophia to be her moral support for ever. The Old Wives' Tale It was in this way that Madame Foucault and Sophia learnt of the establishment of a republic. The Old Wives' Tale Sophia would have died sooner than remind any one of a benefit conferred, and Madame Foucault had committed precisely that enormity. The Old Wives' Tale Even the once despised showy furniture of Madame Foucault had mysteriously changed into the best conceivable furniture; and its cracks were hallowed. The Old Wives' Tale |
