Our Cover this month depicts a scene from the first instalment in this issue of the story entitled The Skylark of Space, by Edward Elmer Smith and Lee Hawkins Garby, in which the scientist, who has discovered a chemical substance for the liberation of intra-atomic energy is making his initial tests, preparatory to his interplanetary flight by means of this liberated energy, which makes possible his interstellar space-flyer. |
In Our Next Issue: The Ambassador from Mars, by Harl Vincent. For a true prophetic gem, this story can’t be beat. If some means of interplanetary travel could be devised sometime, what would be the method of communication between, say Mars and the Earth. Obviously the spoken word will not be possible. The dot and dash system on the other hand, seems illogical, because we have no basis of contact. The author suggests a very logical plan. The Invisible Bubble, by Kirk Meadowcroft. If you know anything about the ultimate stage of matter, this story will seem quite plausible to you. At any rate, it contains a good bit of science and an ingenious idea, beautifully worked out. The Skylark of space, by Edward Elmer Smith, in collaboration with Lee Hawkins Garby. (A Serial in Three Parts) Part II. In this instalment, the opposition carries out some of its nefarious plans, but having been prepared, the builders of the Skylark follow a series of startling adventures in interstellar space and then on another planet are told. The instalment not only retains its high degree of interest, it becomes increasingly facinating with each chapter and explains many things. The Voyage to Kemptonia, by E. M. Scott. Certain irregularities of our moon’ motion have led some of our astronomers to believe that there is another body—small, to be sure—between the earth and the moon. Around the idea of this extra-terrestrial body is woven an absorbing tale of unusual interest. And others. |
