An Irish doctor, James Carson of Liverpool, figured it out theoretically in 1821; and during 1894-95 an Italian, Forlanini, worked out the full, practical method. It takes such beautiful advantage of the mechanics of the human torso that the German scientists listened well to Surgeon Sauerbruch, an especially dextrous technician...

Up jumped Flowers and began to lace the countenance and torso of Walker with a long left hand in the manner of a man painting a fence. Blood squirted from a gash over Walker's eye.

His torso was a barrel of barred indigo; his legs two uncertain aquamarine tendrils; even his nails were blue. He looked like a figure from a futuristic painting. But this blue man laughed, chatted and showed to admiring fellow-scientists the notes of observations he had made on his blood-reactions during the week he had spent in that glass case. His blueness was caused by the fact that the case...
