"Simple," bragged Rap. "Nothing to it. This red vapor has certain peculiar properties (patent by Williamson). Its molecules all travel in one direction, which keeps it pressing against the water. It is heavier than water, so gravity (patent by Newton) keeps the water on top. The pressure heats it up & makes it glow, liting the place, & its expansion as it comes out of the vents down there cools everything off. (Patent by Pending)*
   Marvelous discovery, don't you think?"
   "Um." Alicia didn't sound convinced/. Rap went right on.
   "Wonderful place, this. All sorts of interesting things here. I'll show you around before the party starts. Come on."
   He grabbed her by the arm & hauled her out on the upper deack. A Mahar (copyrite E R Burroughs Inc) was passing.
   "Going our way?" hailed Rap.
   "I reckon," admitted the Mahar gloomily.** "Do you- all know where David Innes# is at? Him & Tarzan went hunting & his wife says to come home quick becoz Tarzan is sure to lose his memory## (copyrite Tarzan) & with them there wimmen of Merritt's around there is no telling what-all can happen."
   "We are strangers here," Alicia began to say, but Rap jabbed her warningly in the ribs.
   "String him along," he hisses in her ear. "While he is hunting for them we can be seeing the country."
   He turned back to Mahar. "We will be glad to direct you," he said blandly. "Watch your step, Alicia." 
   She sat down gingerly on the creature's leathery back, & soon they were soaring low over the black forests. Huge trees waved to them as they passed, & now & then a sluggish, winding river would roll out of its bed to greet them. All the while Rap kept up a running patter of explanation. 
   "On your right," he announced, "you see the ruined city of the Metal Emperor. Norhala was too hot for him. On your left is the lofty eminence of Television Hill.
