iful red, though I should observe, that
the first compound vegetable in the seeds of which I inserted the spice
particles was yellow.
It may not be uninteresting to know that the Allmanyuka is cooked in a
vessel over steam. Indeed, everything with us is cooked by steam, this
being especially serviceable, on account of the steadiness of its
action. There are machines to regulate the force and action of the
steam, and the attendant has only to obey mechanically the simplest
instructions.
The Allmanyuka is used in some sick-rooms as a fumigator. For this
purpose it is cut into slices, and the exuded juice which it bleeds is
accompanied with an agreeable aromatic odour.
The fruit possesses many other valuable properties. After its discovery
my people were never more afflicted with the maladies for the prevention
of which it had been created. It was sometimes called by the name given
by me,--often by a term signifying, "Inspiration of the Father of the
World." [1]

[Footnote 1: Although it may appear incongruous to
refer to a philosopher of this earth as illustrating
the work of a philosopher of another planet, the Editor
cannot help quoting a passage from a man possessed of
wondrous prescience, who, to use his own words, "held
up a lamp in the obscurity of philosophy that would be
seen ages after he was dead." It will also in a measure
convey the difference between the process of grafting
and the course pursued by the Tootmanyoso in the
creation of the Allmanyuka.
The inspired philosopher says: "The compounding or
mixing of kinds in plants is not found out, which,
nevertheless, if it be possible, is more at command
than that of living creatures, for that their lust
requireth a voluntary motion; wherefore it were one of
the most noble experiments touching plants to find it
out; for so you may have great variety of new fruits
and flowers yet
