1. TALKING DURING READING
No one would have believed in the last years of the nineteenthcentury that this world was being watched keenly and closely byintelligences greater than man’s and yet as mortal as his own ; that asmen busied themselves about their various concerns they werescrutinized and studied, perhaps almost as narrowly as a man with amicroscope might scrutinize the transient creatures that swarm andmultiply in a drop of water. With infinite complacency men went toand fro over this globe about their little affairs, serene in theirassurance of their empire over matter. It is possible that the infusoriaunder the microscope do the same. No one gave a thought to theolder worlds of space as sources of human danger, or thought ofthem only to dismiss the idea of life upon them as impossible orimprobable. It is curious to recall some of the mental habits of thosedeparted days. At most terrestrial men fancied there might be othermen upon Mars, perhaps inferior to themselves and ready towelcome a missionary enterprise.
