reflections and no glints came from the electric 

 lights in the distant laboratory. Coming closer I 

 looked and saw the jaws and teeth glowing eerily; 

 the light was neither lambent, flickering nor twin- 

 kling — it was just a cold, colorless glow, the 

 foxfire, the phosphorescence of bacteria, the bac- 

 teria which were aiding in the process of cleaning 

 the cartilage and ivory. Again description palls, but 

 it was very beautiful and quite unforgettable.
