without thinking long he agreed, and at once we began consideringhow to carry out our intention The problem was that the route from the planetSaturn to the planet Mars passed through cosmic spheres that did notcorrespond to the presence of Gornahoor Harharkh, a being who had as yetonly the possibilities for an ordinary planetary existence."The result of our deliberations was that on the following day his chiefassistant began, under his direction, to arrange a special compartment in ourship Occasion, and to equip it with every sort of apparatus for elaborating thesubstances that make up the atmosphere of the planet Saturn, to which theexistence of Gornahoor Harharkh was adapted by Nature."One 'khrkh-khr-khroo' later, when all these preparations had beencompleted, we set out on our journey in the direction of the planet Mars,where we arrived safely at my house And there on Mars, which has almost thesame atmosphere as the planet Saturn, my essence-friend very soon becameacclimatized and began to exist almost as though on his own planet."It was during his stay on Mars that he devised the 'teskooano,' or'telescope,' thanks to which my observatory became so famous throughout thewhole Universe The teskooano he constructed is indeed a marvel of being-Reason, for, as I told you, it increases the visibility of remote cosmicconcentrations 7, 000, 285 times, both during certain processes taking place incosmic substances in the atmospheres surrounding almost all cosmicconcentrations and during certain processes which the cosmic 'ethernokrilno'undergoes in interspatial spheres."With this teskooano I was sometimes able to observe from my house onMars almost everything taking place on those parts of the surface of otherplanets of that solar system which, during the process of the 'general systemmovement,' were at that moment within the field of vision of my observatory.
