A VISIT TO HALCYON.
by s. IL. kIsER.

Il have just done the thing, said Prof
Monckton, that makes it possible for mer
TO traverse the ilimitable reaches o
space
Tel me about it, replied his bedutiiu
young vie, who, incredible as il may seem
took an interest IN her gifted husbands ex
I pcrimcnts.
As you know" he explained, my ran
! tometer completely reyerses the Law o.
! gravity, making whatever il is attached t.
tall away from the earth instead OF toward
it.
! Yes, but aside from solving the prob
| lem oi aerial navigation the rantometer mas
| been OF no use. It doesn't enable Us To
| pass outside the earth's atmospheric belt,
hence we are as ignorant as ever concern
! ing other worlds than our own
| That Is the point J am coming to, the
professor answered II have just com
p!eted an apparatus with which 1 can store
neat. Long ago | began bottling atmos.
phere. One DAY il occurred TO me that If
air could be packed away like crackers in
box it must be possible to condense and
preserve heat TINS ! can do with my
plaem3..at. Now there is nothing to pre-
vent our taking a trip to some star and
finding out wuat conditions exist taere. w.
The professors wife was anxious TO be-
come an actress, and realizing that it would
be easy Tor her to do this It sue could gam
notofely AZ tac first woman to make a
trip to the stars she consented to accom-
pany him across the gull Of space
Aftor an uuetcntfuI trip through realms
that were wholly devoid OF obstacle, they
found themselves, one day, IN the vicinity
OF a large planet that rescmbed the earth
in the luttcrs most lovely spots. The pro
ies,or put the reverse English on his rantom-
ctcr thus permitting their car TO drop
gently down upon the sphere which lay I'M
der t1om. They found tins planet 10 be a
vast garden OF Eden. Every breath OF
the atmosphere was q strong tonic, beau
tiIul flowers were everywhere, sparkling
brook, tiukcd through lovely woodland
way, birds filled the air with melody, ana
gadness was upon everything.
