A JOURNEY TO THE CENTRE OF THE EARTH

The Great Discovery.

I am living with my uncle, a German, who was a professor of philosophy, chemistry, geology, mineralogy, and many other "ologies".

Professor Hardwigg, my uncle, had invites me to study under him, for I were greatly interested in learning as much as I can about the Earth and what lay under its surface.

Although my uncle was a most learned man, and can spoke with the greats of the scientific world in almost any language, and could classify six hundred different geological specimens by their weight, hardness, sound, taste, and smell, he do not at all look the part.

He was fifty years old, tall, thin and wiry. Large glasses hide his vast, round, bulging eyes. His nose was thin like a file and is constantly being attracted to tobacco. When he walked, he stepped a yard at a time, clench his fists as if he is going to hit you, and then walked on. At most times, he is far from a pleasant companion.

But Professor Hardwigg was by no means a bad sort of man. However, to live with him means to obey him. So, when he comes home one day and begins to call, "Harry - Harry - Harry," I hastened to go at once, even though at the time I was more interested in finding out what was being prepared for dinner than what my uncle wanted from me.

I taken the steps three at a time and presented myself to my uncle in his study. My uncle's study was a perfect museum, filled with minerals of every kind. When I entered, he was studying a book, not even aware that I had join him in the room.
