"After all, I am more excited about it myself than I should care to admit." As we turned and went on up the
Drive, he told me more about his invention. "I call it the Chamber of Life," he said. "It's a fantastic
name, but it designates precisely what my instrument is. "You see, it's like

living another life to experience an hour or two in the Chamber.
You cannot possibly realize
yet just what it's like.

I have created a means of reproducing all the sensations that a man would have in

actual living; all the sounds, the odors, the little feelings that are half-realized in daily life--everything.

The Chamber takes possession
of you and lives for you. You forget your name, your very existence

in this world, and you are taken bodily into a fictitious land. It is like
actually living the books

you would read today, or the motion pictures

and plays you would watch and hear. "It is as real as life, but it moves swiftly as a dream. You seem to pass through certain things slowly and completely, in the _tempo_ of life. Then, when the transitional moment comes, between
the scenes, your sensations pass with unbelievable rapidity. The Chamber has

possession of your mind. It tells you that you are doing such and

such a thing, it gives you all

the feeling of doing that thing, and you actually believe you are doing it. And when it snatches you away from one day and takes you into the next, it has only to make you feel
that a day has passed, and it is as though you had lived through that day. You could live a lifetime in this way, in the Chamber, without
spending actually more
than a few hours." * * * * * The taxi
