. . . '■ Ou a sonde ees regions voilees, 

 Les bornes du possible out ete reculees. 

 Un moi'tel a pu voir, arme d'un ceil geant, 

 Osciller des lueurs aux confius du n^ant ! " . . . 



J. J. Ampere. 



Man has plumbed these veiled realms, 

 The boundaries of the possible have been extended. 

 A mortal, armed with the eye of a giant. 

 Has been enabled to see gleams of light oscillating on the 

 Confines of empty sjiace !
