"Let men stew in their cities if they will. It is in 

 the lonely places, in jungles and mountains, in snows 

 and fires, in the still observatories and the silent labora- 

 tories, in those secret and dangerous places where life 

 probes into life, it is there that the masters of the world, 

 the lords of the beast, the rebel sons of Fate come to 

 their own." 



H. G. WELLS.
