The excerpt represents the core issue or deciding factor on which you must meditate, and is drawn from Moon-Face and Other Stories by Jack London: purpose to seek--ay, and to find--the proper reagents, which, acting upon the
living organism, will bring about molecular changes analogous to those you
have just witnessed. But these reagents, which I shall find, and for that
matter, upon which I already have my hands, will not turn the living body to
blue or red or black, but they will turn it to transparency. All light will
pass through it. It will be invisible. It will cast no shadow."
A few weeks later I went hunting with Paul. He had been promising me for some
time that I should have the pleasure of shooting over a wonderful dog--the
most wonderful dog, in fact, that ever man shot over, so he averred, and
continued to aver till my curiosity was aroused. But on the morning in
question I was disappointed, for there was no dog in evidence.
