There were four practically simultaneous detonations silent, but terrific explosions as the pent-up internal energy of solid pentavalent nitrogen was instantaneously released and the four insensately murderous spheres disappeared into jagged fragments of wreckage, flying wildly away from the centers of explosion.
Between the two centers of distribution lie the pueblos of the Little Colorado and its tributaries, the home of the ancestors of the Hopi and the Zuñi. The many resemblances between the cliff houses of the north and those of the south indicate that the stage of culture of both was uniform, and probably the same conditions of environment led both peoples to build similar dwellings.
Scattered through Manhattan, from the Battery to the Bronx, these five centers are witnesses as they stand to the effect of circumstance on bricks and mortar. And that there should be this visible effect is no doubt natural enough, for the difference between nation and nation is a salient thing.
