I am having some difficulty understanding the meaning of this German word 'Gradierglaß'.
'Graduated glass' does not make sense in the context.
It appears in Meyrink's Der seltsame gast
Der Fremde entgegnete Reußing: "Sie mögen vielleicht später einmal von besonderem Glück sprechen, dass Ihnen zu dieser Stunde dies Büchslein in der Hand gelegen hat. Es enthält ein Gradierglas, mit dem ich den einen und anderen Versuch angestellt habe. Doch ist mir zu ausführlichem Experimentieren, wie Sie bemerken, der Ort hier nicht geschickt. Nun haben Sie ja ein wohl eingerichtetes Laboratorium in der Apotheke und Sie können mir die Gefälligkeit erweisen, dies Pulver zu prüfen, das sie hier in dem Büchslein sehen."
It thus seems to be a description of the classic red stone of projection. This is sometimes presented as a glassy substance.
But how does Gradierglaß relate to this?
Sadly, I have not found an English translation of Meyrink's Der seltsame gast, though it may be included in some volumes of his short stories.
