Now, thanks to APERGY, the\u003cbr\u003eforce whose existence the ancients suspected, but of which they knew so\u003cbr\u003elittle, all things were possible.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAyrault manipulated the silk-covered glass handles, and the Callisto\u003cbr\u003emoved on slowly in comparison  with its recent speed, and all remained\u003cbr\u003eglued to their telescopes as they peered through the rushing clouds,\u003cbr\u003enow forming and now dissolving before their eyes.
