At
this
moment
he
was
sitting
in
his
armchair
,
silent
,
absorbed
,
lost
in
reflection
,
sheltered
under
his
high-crowned
hat
--
a
kind
of
black
cylinder
which
always
seems
firmly
screwed
upon
the
head
of
an
American
.
Just
when
the
deep-toned
clock
in
the
great
hall
struck
eight
,
Barbicane
,
as
if
he
had
been
set
in
motion
by
a
spring
,
raised
himself
up
.
A
profound
silence
ensued
,
and
the
speaker
,
in
a
somewhat
emphatic
tone
of
voice
,
commenced
as
follows
:
"
My
brave
,
colleagues
,
too
long
already
a
paralyzing
peace
has
plunged
the
members
of
the
Gun
Club
in
deplorable
inactivity
.
After
a
period
of
years
full
of
incidents
we
have
been
compelled
to
abandon
our
labors
,
and
to
stop
short
on
the
road
of
progress
.
I
do
not
hesitate
to
state
,
baldly
,
that
any
war
which
would
recall
us
to
arms
would
be
welcome
!
"
(
Tremendous
applause
!
)
"
But
war
,
gentlemen
,
is
impossible
under
existing
circumstances
;
and
,
however
we
may
desire
it
,
many
years
may
elapse
before
our
cannon
shall
again
thunder
in
the
field
of
battle
.
We
must
make
up
our
minds
,
then
,
to
seek
in
another
train
of
ideas
some
field
for
the
activity
which
we
all
pine
for
.
"
The
meeting
felt
that
the
president
was
now
approaching
the
critical
point
,
and
redoubled
their
attention
accordingly
.
"
For
some
months
past
,
my
brave
colleagues
,
"
continued
Barbicane
,
"
I
have
been
asking
myself
whether
,
while
confining
ourselves
to
our
own
particular
objects
,
we
could
not
enter
upon
some
grand
experiment
worthy
of
the
nineteenth
century
;
and
whether
the
progress
of
artillery
science
would
not
enable
us
to
carry
it
out
to
a
successful
issue
.
I
have
been
considering
,
working
,
calculating
;
and
the
result
of
my
studies
is
the
conviction
that
we
are
safe
to
succeed
in
an
enterprise
which
to
any
other
country
would
appear
wholly
impracticable
.
This
project
,
the
result
of
long
elaboration
,
is
the
object
of
my
present
communication
.
It
is
worthy
of
yourselves
,
worthy
of
the
antecedents
of
the
Gun
Club
;
and
it
can
not
fail
to
make
some
noise
in
the
world
.
"
A
thrill
of
excitement
ran
through
the
meeting
.
Barbicane
,
having
by
a
rapid
movement
firmly
fixed
his
hat
upon
his
head
,
calmly
continued
his
harangue
:
"
There
is
no
one
among
you
,
my
brave
colleagues
,
who
has
not
seen
the
Moon
,
or
,
at
least
,
heard
speak
of
it
.
Do
n't
be
surprised
if
I
am
about
to
discourse
to
you
regarding
the
Queen
of
the
Night
.
It
is
perhaps
reserved
for
us
to
become
the
Columbuses
of
this
unknown
world
.
Only
enter
into
my
plans
,
and
second
me
with
all
your
power
,
and
I
will
lead
you
to
its
conquest
,
and
its
name
shall
be
added
to
those
of
the
thirty-six
states
which
compose
this
Great
Union
.
"
"
Three
cheers
for
the
Moon
!
"
roared
the
Gun
Club
,
with
one
voice
.
"
The
moon
,
gentlemen
,
has
been
carefully
studied
,
"
continued
Barbicane
;
"
her
mass
,
density
,
and
weight
;
her
constitution
,
motions
,
distance
,
as
well
as
her
place
in
the
solar
system
,
have
all
been
exactly
determined
.
Selenographic
charts
have
been
constructed
with
a
perfection
which
equals
,
if
it
does
not
even
surpass
,
that
of
our
terrestrial
maps
.
Photography
has
given
us
proofs
of
the
incomparable
beauty
of
our
satellite
;
all
is
known
regarding
the
moon
which
mathematical
science
,
astronomy
,
geology
,
and
optics
can
learn
about
her
.
But
up
to
the
present
moment
no
direct
communication
has
been
established
with
her
.
