FOOTNOTES:

[5] "_Salto inmortal_." There is a play here upon the term _salto

mortal_, used to denote the dangerous aerial somersault of the acrobat,

which cannot be rendered in English.--J.E.C.F.

[6] "_Conciencia_." The same word is used in Spanish to denote both

consciousness and conscience. If the latter is specifically intended,

the qualifying adjective "_moral_" or "_religiosa_" is commonly

added.--J.E.C.F.

[7] San Juan de los Angeles.

[8] To be lacking in everything but intelligence is the necessary

qualification for thinking like you.

[9] James Thomson, author of _The City of Dreadful Night_.
