We must go back to Faraday's three laws of electrolysis--and Chadwick's establishment in nineteen thirty-one of the fact that radiation is merely the movement of particles of proton mass without proton charge. Neutrons, you see. Also that atomic weights are close integers, when hydrogen is one point zero zero eight. Thus I use hydrogen as a basis. Simple, isn't it?

Wait a minute. What's this you're talking about--_teleportation_? You mean a way of moving matter through space, just as television moves an image through space?

Well, not precisely, said Mildume.

It's more a duplication of matter. My Mildume beam--really another expression of the quanta or light energy absorbed by atoms--scans and analyzes matter. The wave variations are retranslated into form, or formulae, at a distant point--the receiving point.

And this really works?
gpt
Of course, said Mildume.

Oh, it's still crude. It doesn't work all the time. It works only along vast distances. I won't announce it until I perfect it further. Meanwhile I need more money to carry on and when, through certain relatives, I heard of Mr. Untz's problem--well, it was simply too much to resist. You see, I've managed to teleport a couple of frightful monsters from somewhere out of space. I was wondering what on earth to do with them.

Where--where are they?
