Se acostumbre = one adjusts

'''Pips'''<br>
Something or someone excellent, of high quality.  From [http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/pip WIKI]  In this context, "some of them are Babes, too".

'''Encyclopedists'''<br>
The Encyclopédistes were a group of 18th century writers in France who compiled the ''Encyclopédie'' edited by Denis Diderot and Jean le Rond d'Alembert.  Like Pierre Bayle (1647-1706), who created the ''Dictionnaire Historique et Critique'', the Encyclopédistes were part of the intellectual group known as the philosophes.  They promoted the advancement of science and secular thought, and supported the tolerance, rationality and open-mindedness of the Enlightenment.

''''tis no Dream, but a form of transport'''<br>
Within the context of the novel, this seems to be a validation of the possibly flying Conveyance, Dixon's learning to fly with Emerson by Ley-lines, as well as various episodes of Astral Projection

'''Aloft, these carry their wheels with them'''<br>
Another section seeming to verify the flying Conveyances.  See page [http://masondixon.pynchonwiki.com/wiki/index.php?title=Chapter_36:_362-370#Page_362 362].  These also seem to foreshadow the airplanes of the future.

'''"Far, far to the North and West...Springs of Fire run ev'rywhere."'''<br>
The description and geographical position of the valley hints at Brobdingnag, the nation of giants in Swift's [http://www.gutenberg.org/etext/829 ''Gulliver's Travels''] (1726).  Gulliver is abandoned by his companions on a field of giant vegetables, and is finally found by a farmer.  Brobdingnag is a fictive pensinsula to the north-west of California, which is surrounded by volcanoes.
