TED MARCH SCIENTI-TALES PAGE 13 THE TIME EXPERIMENT BY TED MARCH At first nothing happened, and then there was a terrific explosion! (Illustrated by Louis G. Maurine) CHAPTER ONE # AN EXPLANATION OF TIME Harold E. Stockton was a multimillionaire, whose playboy days were over. He was well past middle age and had all at once lost interest in women, who previously were his only enjoyment and pastime. But for all effeminity, he had always had a fancy for science and had on numerous occasions financed scientific experiments and had always participated in them. Not that he was in anyway a scientist or even an amateur, but he felt a sense of duty to help in something which was for the betterment of the world. He was somewhat of a philanthropist and as he had more money than he could use or count (so to say) he spent it the way he liked best. For the cause of science. Therefore as he sat in his office listening to a small wiry looking individual who introduced himself as Professor Van Loon, he thought nothing or the impossibility or even impracticality to what he was hearing. "My dear Mr. Stockton, these plans I have here are not just a fancy of my imagination but real plans for making a TIME MACHINE. I have already done preliminary experiments and have sent into the future a gunea pig which, when I brought it back was none the worse for it's experience. My theory, which now is really fact, is that time has a strong connection with the space continuum. For instance, one could transport himself with the Time Machine into the future or the past, in a room large or small. In my experiments I found that, when I tried to send the pig into time in my laboratory, nothing happened, with the exception of numerous electrical sparks and an aurora around the Time Machine. But when I took the machine some fifty yards away to the laboratory, and with no impediments in the way, it faded away. The aurora also came into being, but without electrical sparks..." "Why?" questioned Stockton, as he leaned forward. Impatient to hear the explanation of this interesting experiment. "I was coming to that. Because, as I have previously said, time and space are connected in some way. In the laboratory, the walls, the ceiling and other materials are impediments to the free notion of molecules in the air thus causing a sort of short cir-
