IN using precisely the descriptive words;
WIS exclusively in charge Of Rodman,

The creature was servile--with al
hos. a Eroycnng servility. But one felt
hat this serviljty resulted from some
aas potent and secret. One looked to
sg RcdmaD take SolOmon's ring out of
is wa.s,coat pocket.
I suppose there is no longer any DOUBT
9lt the fact that Rodman was one of
lose g.aaEtic human intelligences who
0rtim appear in the world; and by
er immense conceptions dwarf all hui

7lmag was four generations in advance
ts time. and Lord Bayless Truxley
as beyond question, the greatest au-
0r.y on synthetic chemistry in the
Bvduaa was rich and, everybody sup
,sed, tndolent; no one ever thought very
u.h about him until he published his
gcaurg OH the scientific manufacture
precious stones. Then instantly every
.dy with any pretensiOn to knowl-
.gg ol synthetic chemistry turned to-
Frd him.
lTho brochure startled the world.
.It proposed 10 adapt the luster and
nauty Of jewels to commercial uses.
10 were being content with crude imi-
.lon col9rs IN our commercial glass,
hen We could quite as easily have the
tual structure and the actual Iuster of
e jewel iu it. We were painfully
n-Hs over the earth, and in it's bow
- Tor few crystals and prettily-col-
I'D stones which We boarded and treas
red, when in a manufacturing labora-
ry We could easily produce them, more
,rfcct than nature, and in unlimited
nntty.
Now, IL you want to understand what
am printing here about Rodman, you
lst tlduk about this thing as scien-
ac possibility and not as fantastic
ton. Take, for example, Rodman s
lircss Ic.Jre the Sorbonne, or his re-
H 20 Tie International Congress OF
,enc2 ia Edinburgh, and you will be-
10 TO s.o what mean. The Marchese
