I can only say two things first, that you will all aee It yourselves, and second, that while tlig streets, and the buildings and the apartments of the city of the Other People fascinated us, we had Intended to heave that morning. Again Tony ceased to read. We appreciated, of course," he observed to bis hearers, "that we ought to communicate wltb yon, end after our breakfast, and a brief Journey through some of the strange streets, we weut out of the city by the way we had entered and returned to our eldp, where we tried to call you by radio. We failed utterly because of some puzzling Interference. We argued, then, whether we should return to you with what wo had learned or whether we should first try to learn much more. The second argument was overwhelming In Its appeal to ua. We returned to the city ; and on the second day, we discovered that It waa not quite ao Intact as we had supposed. In no less than six places where we observed, the huge transparent dome waa pierced end showed great Jagged tears or holes and below were marka of demolition exhibiting greet violence Meteora had torn through. But except for the wreckage caused by these, I tell you that we found almost nothing out of order In that remarkable city. Now I will give yon a few more random details from Eliots diary: "One thing we noted on our return to the stores If they were stores, Tony read, waa that In none of them did there seem to have been a system for collecting mouey, or a medium of exchange, or of keeping books. Seemingly the Other People Just came In end took what they wanted or Individuals must bxve kept their own books or some system which we couldn't Imagine, was used. For at the end of our three days' atay we were pretty certain that they bad no medium of exchange to correspond to money. Tony looked up at his fascinated audience, then turned again to Eliot James diary: A department of that store was given over to musical Instruments. Their chromatic scale Is different from ours, and their way of writing music entirely different They had a few stringed Instruments, no wind Instruments, many percussion Instruments, but they had developed a vast variety of Instruments which seem to hare been operated hy the transference of electrical Impulses to sound. Unquestionably, music and the science of electricity had existed side by side for so long that the art had developed a science for Its expression. We found m profusion small, light vehicles of the type which we first discovered wrecked on the road near our campb It Is plain these were operated by some sort of electric Impulse; but we could do nothing with them. Imagine Tony skipped more puges. us with the sun rising and the flood of Indirect Illumination dimming away. Imagine ne under that vast transparent bubble In the early morning, having a long look at one mnrrel after another. We went across bridges and up and down streets. We tramped along ramps and on a dozen levels. We visited civic centers and museums and theaters and recreation gronnda and central kitchens and other places of assembly, the purpose of which was not clear. All we lacked was some one to explain at frequent Intervals Just whnt we were seeing, because while we were Interested we often could only guess and sometimes none of our explanations made sense. We never found that some one. One thing wni very clear, however; the Other 1'eople liked to spend a lot of time together. They had prlvncy In their own apurtments, to be sure, but there were so many things and so tunny kinds of things for ieople to do In crowds that we became convinced that they were very gregarious. We felt, too, that their crowds were not comprised of mobs of unfriendly, unsympathetic, unacquainted Individuals like the crowds thnt once thronged the streets of New York but were crowds of cople w ho were nsMiclated In a most friendly and cooperative spirit with each other.
