Chapter 2 The Moon

1. As for the people in the moon, they are of both genders, as on earth, but were created a thousand years later by an empowered angel.

2. As for their natural size, they are only a little over two shoes tall, and have much resemblance to the Nordic dwarfs; they have a very large stomach, which has a double function with them: one for the digestion of food by the ordinary gizzard; the other by virtue of a second stomach for the accumulation of a kind of light gas, which gives them a triple advantage;

3. for it firstly makes it easy for them to jump over any river very easily because they cannot build a bridge over the rivers due to the lack of timber; and if there are rivers of great breadth, or here and there inland seas, they can easily swim over the surface, like a fish. So this is the first advantage of this stomach.

4. As for the second advantage, it consists in the fact that by expelling this air, they produce a kind of banging sounds, by means of which they make their presence known to each other in their subterranean chambers; they also use this air for a stronger external language, which, of course, is only meager in the highest degree; for their lung language is extremely weak and silent, and only this language is spoken by the moon people for the improvement of their inherent spirits; the actual moon person has initially an abhorrence of this language; but when the spirit gradually becomes better, the soul of the moon person then befriends the indwelling spirit of an earth-human to be improved, until at last the soul of the moon person becomes completely one with the improved spirit, which state then also brings about the usually painless death of the moon people's body.

5. A third advantage of this stomach air is that they warm up their underground caves by a frequent outflow during the cold night time, which happens in the following way: Since their cave dwellings look almost like, or rather are hollowed out from the inside in such a way that they almost resemble a large, shallow bell, the entrance to which is made from the ground up by a kind of staircase, the light air expelled then collects under this airtight living bell and makes their dwelling tolerably warm, and prevents the free inflow of the outer extremely heavy atmospheric air; this is only absorbed by this light gas as far as it is inevitably necessary for physical life. The this stomach air has same purpose also in the unbearably hot day periods, in which these moon people must likewise go under the earth, only with the difference that this gas is changed by the effect of the stomach into a cooling oxygen gas, by which it protects then also their bell-dwelling with repeated expelling, against the penetration of the hot air. This is the third advantage of this wind stomach.

6. Another peculiarity of these people is that their eyes are of double quality; the first quality is that of sight, as with you; but the second quality is that their eye in their dark chambers also serves them as a light, which quality is found even on earth both in certain animals and in some regions in people, namely in those whose eye pupil is red, as in rabbits. Another peculiarity of these people is their extremely acute hearing, by virtue of which they can easily hear the slightest sound from a considerable distance, which is why their ear funnels are significantly larger and more compact.
