wildered, observer, and the slave, Zuanthrol, unobserved, had moved nearer the table that he might better watch this experiment which might mean so much to him.

Zoanthrohago continued to manipulate the re­volving shaft and the needles moved hither and thither from one series of hieroglyphics to an­other, until at last the walmak appeared satisfied.

"It is not always easy," he said, "to attune the instrument to the frequency of the organ upon which we are working. From all matter and even from such incorporeal a thing as thought there emanate identical particles, so infinitesimal as to be scarce noted by the most delicate of my instru­ments. These particles constitute the basic struc­ture of all things whether animate or inanimate, corporeal or incorporeal. The frequency, quantity and rhythm of the emanations determine the nature of the substance. Having located upon this dial the coefficient of the gland under dis­cussion it now becomes necessary, in order to so interfere with its proper functioning that the growth of the creature involved will be not only stopped but actually reversed, that we decrease the frequency, increase the quantity and com­pound the rhythm of these emanations. This I shall now proceed to do," and he forthwith mani­pulated several small buttons upon one side of the box, and grasping the crankhandle of the free disc revolved it rapidly.
