"
Hurrah
!
"
cried
one
voice
(
need
it
be
said
it
was
that
of
J.
T.
Maston
)
.
"
Distance
does
not
exist
!
"
And
overcome
by
the
energy
of
his
movements
,
he
nearly
fell
from
the
platform
to
the
ground
.
He
just
escaped
a
severe
fall
,
which
would
have
proved
to
him
that
distance
was
by
no
means
an
empty
name
.
"
Gentlemen
,
"
resumed
the
orator
,
"
I
repeat
that
the
distance
between
the
earth
and
her
satellite
is
a
mere
trifle
,
and
undeserving
of
serious
consideration
.
I
am
convinced
that
before
twenty
years
are
over
one-half
of
our
earth
will
have
paid
a
visit
to
the
moon
.
Now
,
my
worthy
friends
,
if
you
have
any
question
to
put
to
me
,
you
will
,
I
fear
,
sadly
embarrass
a
poor
man
like
myself
;
still
I
will
do
my
best
to
answer
you
.
"
Up
to
this
point
the
president
of
the
Gun
Club
had
been
satisfied
with
the
turn
which
the
discussion
had
assumed
.
It
became
now
,
however
,
desirable
to
divert
Ardan
from
questions
of
a
practical
nature
,
with
which
he
was
doubtless
far
less
conversant
.
Barbicane
,
therefore
,
hastened
to
get
in
a
word
,
and
began
by
asking
his
new
friend
whether
he
thought
that
the
moon
and
the
planets
were
inhabited
.
"
You
put
before
me
a
great
problem
,
my
worthy
president
,
"
replied
the
orator
,
smiling
.
"
Still
,
men
of
great
intelligence
,
such
as
Plutarch
,
Swedenborg
,
Bernardin
de
St.
Pierre
,
and
others
have
,
if
I
mistake
not
,
pronounced
in
the
affirmative
.
Looking
at
the
question
from
the
natural
philosopher
's
point
of
view
,
I
should
say
that
nothing
useless
existed
in
the
world
;
and
,
replying
to
your
question
by
another
,
I
should
venture
to
assert
,
that
if
these
worlds
are
habitable
,
they
either
are
,
have
been
,
or
will
be
inhabited
.
"
"
No
one
could
answer
more
logically
or
fairly
,
"
replied
the
president
.
"
The
question
then
reverts
to
this
:
Are
these
worlds
habitable
?
For
my
own
part
I
believe
they
are
.
"
"
For
myself
,
I
feel
certain
of
it
,
"
said
Michel
Ardan
.
"
Nevertheless
,
"
retorted
one
of
the
audience
,
"
there
are
many
arguments
against
the
habitability
of
the
worlds
.
The
conditions
of
life
must
evidently
be
greatly
modified
upon
the
majority
of
them
.
To
mention
only
the
planets
,
we
should
be
either
broiled
alive
in
some
,
or
frozen
to
death
in
others
,
according
as
they
are
more
or
less
removed
from
the
sun
.
"
"
I
regret
,
"
replied
Michel
Ardan
,
"
that
I
have
not
the
honor
of
personally
knowing
my
contradictor
,
for
I
would
have
attempted
to
answer
him
.
His
objection
has
its
merits
,
I
admit
;
but
I
think
we
may
successfully
combat
it
,
as
well
as
all
others
which
affect
the
habitability
of
other
worlds
.
If
I
were
a
natural
philosopher
,
I
would
tell
him
that
if
less
of
caloric
were
set
in
motion
upon
the
planets
which
are
nearest
to
the
sun
,
and
more
,
on
the
contrary
,
upon
those
which
are
farthest
removed
from
it
,
this
simple
fact
would
alone
suffice
to
equalize
the
heat
,
and
to
render
the
temperature
of
those
worlds
supportable
by
beings
organized
like
ourselves
.
If
I
were
a
naturalist
,
I
would
tell
him
that
,
according
to
some
illustrious
men
of
science
,
nature
has
furnished
us
with
instances
upon
the
earth
of
animals
existing
under
very
varying
conditions
of
life
;
that
fish
respire
in
a
medium
fatal
to
other
animals
;
that
amphibious
creatures
possess
a
double
existence
very
difficult
of
explanation
;
that
certain
denizens
of
the
seas
maintain
life
at
enormous
depths
,
and
there
support
a
pressure
equal
to
that
of
fifty
or
sixty
atmospheres
without
being
crushed
;
that
several
aquatic
insects
,
insensible
to
temperature
,
are
met
with
equally
among
boiling
springs
and
in
the
frozen
plains
of
the
Polar
Sea
;
in
fine
,
that
we
can
not
help
recognizing
in
nature
a
diversity
of
means
of
operation
oftentimes
incomprehensible
,
but
not
the
less
real
.
If
I
were
a
chemist
,
I
would
tell
him
that
the
aerolites
,
bodies
evidently
formed
exteriorly
of
our
terrestrial
globe
,
have
,
upon
analysis
,
revealed
indisputable
traces
of
carbon
,
a
substance
which
owes
its
origin
solely
to
organized
beings
,
and
which
,
according
to
the
experiments
of
Reichenbach
,
must
necessarily
itself
have
been
endued
with
animation
.
And
lastly
,
were
I
a
theologian
,
I
would
tell
him
that
the
scheme
of
the
Divine
Redemption
,
according
to
St.
Paul
,
seems
to
be
applicable
,
not
merely
to
the
earth
,
but
to
all
the
celestial
worlds
.
But
,
unfortunately
,
I
am
neither
theologian
,
nor
chemist
,
nor
naturalist
,
nor
philosopher
;
therefore
,
in
my
absolute
ignorance
of
the
great
laws
which
govern
the
universe
,
I
confine
myself
to
saying
in
reply
,
'
I
do
not
know
whether
the
worlds
are
inhabited
or
not
:
and
since
I
do
not
know
,
I
am
going
to
see
!
