The Book of the Damned

Some
of
these
instances
seem
to
me
to
be
very
striking--a
smaller
world:
it
is
greatly
racked
by
the
attraction
of
this
earth--black
substance
is
torn
down
from
it--not
until
six
hours
later,
after
an
approach
still
closer,
does
this
earth
suffer
perturbation.
As
to
the
extraordinary
spectacle
of
a
thing,
world,
super-construction,
that
was
seen
in
the
sky,
in
1816,
I
have
not
yet
been
able
to
find
out
more.
I
think
that
here
our
acceptance
is
relatively
sound:
that
this
occurrence
was
tremendously
of
more
importance
than
such
occurrence
as,
say,
transits
of
Venus,
upon
which
hundreds
of
papers
have
been
written--that
not
another
mention
have
I
found,
though
I
have
not
looked
so
especially
as
I
shall
look
for
more
data--that
all
but
undetailed
record
of
this
occurrence
was
suppressed.
Altogether
we
have
considerable
agreement
here
between
data
of
vast
masses
that
do
not
fall
to
this
earth,
but
from
which
substances
fall,
and
data
of
fields
of
ice
from
which
ice
may
not
fall,
but
from
which
water
may
drip.
I'm
beginning
to
modify:
that,
at
a
distance
from
this
earth,
gravitation
has
more
effect
than
we
have
supposed,
though
less
effect
than
the
dogmatists
suppose
and
"prove."
I'm
coming
out
stronger
for
the
acceptance
of
a
Neutral
Zone--that
this
earth,
like
other
magnets,
has
a
neutral
zone,
in
which
is
the
Super-Sargasso
Sea,
and
in
which
other
worlds
may
be
buoyed
up,
though
projecting
parts
may
be
subject
to
this
earth's
attraction--
But
