In Our Next Issue:

The Menace of Mars, by Clare Winger Harris, Most of our readers will note with pleasure this announcement of a new story by Mrs. Harris. In this tale, the structure of the atom and the analogy of the planetary systems of the universe thereto, and cosmic changes affecting the earth disastrously, are all treated in a most instructive manner, And through it all, in the author’s own style, runs a thread of romance.

The Voyage to Kemptonia, by E. M. Scott. Certain irregularities of our moon's 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.

The Ananias Gland, by W. Alexander. What determines the extent of our truthfulness? It might very well be glandular action of some kind. Mr. Alexander has given us several unusual stories of psychological import, and in this very short story he cleverly works up an idea of extreme interest.

The Skylark of space, by Edward Elmer Smith, in collaboration with Lee Hawkins Garby. (A Serial in 3 Parts) Part III. In the concluding chapters of this story, our author confines the travels of the Skylark to their newly discovered planet, the inhabitants of which seemed to have made marvelous strides in mechanical science, but falling short of the advances in atomic theories and chemistry made by the Earth people. Our author tells of truly wonderful devices, and very deftly includes the human interest element.
