A small crowd watched as the partners, white of face now in the last minutes of their stay on Earth which they might never touch again in life climbed into their cabin, which was capable of being sealed against the cold of the heights and the lack of breathable oxygen. Nobody smiled at them, for the world had stopped smiling. Nobody waved at them, for a wave would have been frivolous.
Those dregs must disappear as soon as they are formed, must be burnt and purified; and from their oxidized ruins there must even rise a perfect life-giving gas, so that the water may retain an unchangeable store of the breathable element. The plant effects this purification in its sewage farm of green cells. When the sun beats upon the glass pond, the work of the water weeds is a sight to behold.
What do you say, dear shall we go down and see if the searchlight will show us anything? You know there may be something like breathable air down there, and perhaps living creatures who can breathe it." "Certainly!" replied Zaidie decisively; "haven't we come to see things that nobody else has ever seen?"
It seemed as though the envelope of breathable air surrounding the earth had suddenly become vastly rarified. If the. atmosphere had been so changed all over the globe it would be a catastrophe unspeakable. "We certainly can't cross these mountains nor the Rockies," groaned Jack. "How are we ever going to get home again?" "If the air remains as it is now?" asked Mark. "You're right!
Between us and the earth lies a portion of the universe that has no atmosphere no breathable air like that envelope which surrounds the moon. Am I right?" "Practically correct, I believe, Jack," responded the aged scientist. "But," cried Mark, at last getting his speech, "how can such a thing be possible? Blown off the earth! Why, we'd simply go up in the air and come down again."
Those who have been at sea, beating to windward in half a gale of wind, will understand what the pressure was like. But here it was the "Albatross" that by her incomparable speed made her own wind. To allow Uncle Prudent and Phil Evans to get back to their cabin the speed had to be reduced. Inside the deck-house the "Albatross" bore with her a perfectly breathable atmosphere.
Contemplation leads to action. The absolute should be practicable. It is necessary that the ideal should be breathable, drinkable, and eatable to the human mind. It is the ideal which has the right to say: Take, this! It is on this condition that it ceases to be a sterile love of science and becomes the one and sovereign mode of human rallying, and that philosophy herself is promoted to religion.
Between the orbits of Jupiter and Mars they made a most valuable economy by landing on Ceres, one of the largest of the asteroids, and travelling about fifty million miles on her towards the orbit of the Earth without any expenditure of force whatever. They found that the tiny world possessed a breathable atmosphere and a fluid resembling water, but nearly as dense as mercury.
