 Helen darted from the room. only to return after moment, laughing
 You are a true wizard" she said, Tell me, how did you know? Wha; has happened?"
 "A city" stated Percy didactically, "is like a mollusk; it depends largely for it's life and health or the arti ficial shell 1t has constructed. Unless am very much mistaken, this par ticuIaT mollusk is going to get 6 chance to try life without it's shell"
 T don't understand you" said Helen.

 Mir. and Mrs. Warford descended soon after. They sat down to dinner by the light of the table candles only Darrow hardly joined at ali in the talk, but sat lost in a brown study from which he only reused sufficiently to accept or refuse the dishes offered him At about eight o'clock the tele phone bell clicked a single stroke, a' though the circuit had been closed.

Even dry-cell batteries were affected. Now, I can think of only one broad general principle by which he could accomplish that result.
