The Skylark of Space (A Serial in Three Parts) Part III
By Edward Elmer Smith, in collaboration with Lee Hawkins Garby 610
Reprisal The Voyage to Kemptonia By E. M. Scott 642
Our Cover this month represents a scene from the story in this issue entitled, “To the Moon by Proxy,” by J. Schlossel, in which Emil’s “proxy,” in his final test before he is sent on his trip to the moon, meets the lion in combat, on equal grounds. Shorn of every bit of clothing by the fury of the king of beasts, the strange being looks like an armored soldier astride the lion. |
In Our Next Issue: The World at Bay, by B. and Geo. C. Wallis. (A Serial in Two Parts) Part I. Inter-planetary stories always seem to please our readers. The application of the fourth dimension, in this story, enables the travelers to make the journey to the moon and back and around the earth in an astoundingly short space of time. Our new author has given us a carefully studied out treatment of the subject of interplanetary travel, cleverly interwoven with romance and human psychology. 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 Psychophonic Nurse, by David H. Keller, M.D. Instead of contenting himself with the conception of new mechanical labor-saving devices—generally involved in the human scheme of life—Dr. Keller always goes further. He gives us, in a perfectly natural manner, the ultimate psychological effect of his mechanical innovation or innovations, on the human being. Though he never destroys—or even temporarily puts out of commission—his newly developed apparatus, we are glad, when we finish the story, that we are still a little ahead of the invention. The Eye of the Vulture, by Walter Kateley. It is an established fact by this time that the human eye is limited in its vision of the colors of the spectrum, just as the ear is limited in its range of sound appreciation. And just as the power of vision varies among people, so it must differ much more drastically from that of animals, birds, insects, etc. A bird, for instance, may not see all we do; on. the other hand, many things within the bird’s visual range, may be completely out of ours. In this story, a number of theories, novel and interesting, but seemingly founded on scientific grounds, are introduced. |
