In Our Next Issue:
THE ABYSS, .by H. G. Wells. An explorer descends in a spherical shell down into depths never reached by any human being before. Here he finds fish¬ like human beings, and meets with a number of adven¬ tures that will keep up your breathless interest for the entire length of the story. You must not miss it.
THE PURCHASE OF THE NORTH POLE, by Jules Verne, in which some enterprising mathematicians and scientists attempt to bring the North Pole to a temperate zone—or bring the temperate zone to the North Pole. A-stroke of lightning sets things flying in the mathematician’s room and an error gets into the calculation. Of course, that upsets their plans consid¬ erably.
A COLUMBUS OF SPACE, by Garrett pTsëëriss (2nd instalment) in which our adventurers continue their marvelous experiences with the Venustians on the light side of the planet Venus.
STATION X, by G. McLeod Winsor (Conclusion) in which the Venerian aids in a terrific battle against the Martians and Professor Rudge, at least, returns to tell ■the tale.
THE MOON HOAX, by Richard Adams Locke, is a classic scientifiction story containing excellent science along with some obvious mistakes, which were not de¬ tected even by a scientific audience. It is probably the greatest scientific hoax that was ever perpetrated upon a credulous public. This was crowded out of the August issue.
BLASPHEMERS’ PLATEAU, by Alexander Sny¬ der, wherein some eminent scientists successfully experi¬ ment with infinite secrets, until they become drunk with their power. Then another scientist arrives on a friendly visit. It is a powerful and gripping story which is sure to hold your interest. This, also, was crowded out of the August issue.
