Domes of the public buildings were of gold. It was used most generously in the finishings of the great temples of music.

rite was the autumn of 1829, and we of the "outside" surface of the earth knew nothing then, so to speak, of electricity. The electrically surcharged condition of the air was a constant vitalizer. I never felt better in my life than during the two years my father and I sojourned on the inside of the earth. To resume my narrative of events; The ship on which we were sailing came to a stop two days after we had been taken on board. My father said as nearly as he could judge, we were directly under Stockholm or London. The city we had reached was called "Jehu," signifying a seaport town. The houses were large and beautifully constructed, and quite uniform in appearance, yet without sameness. The principal occupation of the people appeared to be agriculture; the hillsides were covered with vineyards, while the valleys were devoted to the growing of grain. I never saw such a display of gold. It was everywhere. The door-casings were inlaid and the tables were veneered with sheetings of gold. HICH I WRITE WAS THE AUTUMN OF EIGHTEEN TWENTY NINE AND WE OF THE OUTSIDE SURFACE OF THE EARTH KNEW NOTHING THEN SO TO SPEAK OF ELECTRICITY THE ELECTRICALLY CHARGED CONDITION OF THE AIR WAS A CONSTANT VITALIZER I NEVER FELT BETTER IN MY LIFE THAN DURING THE TWO YEARS MY FATHER AND I SOJOURNED ON THE INSIDE OF THE EARTH TO RESUME MY NARRATIVE OF EVENTS THE SHIP ON WHICH WE WERE SAILING CAME TO A STOP TWO DAYS AFTER WE HAD BEEN TAKEN ON BOARD MY FATHER SAID AS NEARLY AS HE COULD JUDGE WE WERE DIRECTLY UNDER STOCKHOLM OR LONDON THE CITY WE HAD REACHED WAS CALLED JEHOU SIGNIFYING A SEAPORT TOWN THE HOUSES WERE LARGE AND BEAUTIFULLY CONSTRUCTED AND QUITE UNIFORM IN APPEARANCE YET WITHOUT THE SAMENESS THE PRINCIPAL OCCUPATION OF THE PEOPLE APPEARED TO BE AGRICULTURE THE HILLSIDES WERE COVERED WITH VINEYARDS WHILE THE VALLEYS WERE DEVOTED TO THE GROWING OF GREEN I NEVER SAW SUCH A DISPLAY OF GOLD IT WAS EVERYWHERE THE DOORCASINGS WERE INLAID AND THE TABLES WERE VENEERED WITH SHEETINGS OF GOLD
