Sp tea pee .E N 1908, Mr. Hugo Gernsback, Editor of AMAZING STor- IES, published the first radio magazine the world had ever seen—‘‘Modern Electrics.” In one of these volumes he ran a story entitled “Ralph 124C 41+ A Romance of the Year 2660.” This story, although written many years ago, proved more valuable as the years went by, because many of the prophecies made in this book gradually came true. This was in the days before broadcasting had even been thought of, and before we had the radio telephone, yet all of this is faithfully chronicled in this story. Old-time readers of ““Modern Electrics” probably remember the story, and now have a chance to get the complete book. A pioneer in the electrical and radio field, Mr. Gernsback has a profound knowledge of the subjects, coupled with a finely trained and highly imaginative mind. This unusual combination has enabled him to foreshadow ae Against an amazing back- ground of mechanical electri- cal and chemically altered life of mankind there is set a brilliant and colorful ro- mance in the life of the greatest living scientist of that age. Ralph’s love for the beauti- ful stranger, his conquest of his rival and the worsting of the great saturnine Martian, culminating in a running fight in space with tragedy and terror conquered by al- most unbelievable and in- eredible weapons, make one of the most interesting and gripping stories ever told. 700 YEARS HENCE with almost unbelievable accuracy some of the more recent developments. His earlier predictions, which have appeared from time to time during the past decade in many newspapers and magazines, are now realities. Every prophecy is based on accurate scientific knowledge. His ideas are no more fantastic than the realities and commonplaces of our everyday life would have been to our great grandfathers. po -ORDER BLANK —— === 4 FXPERIMENTER PUBLISHING CO., 230 Fifth Ave., New York City.
