I am probably one of your youngest readers, being only 14 years old. But to come to the real reason for this letter, In the story “Under the Knife," by H. G. Wells, it mentions in the 17th paragraph on page 1115 that the character of the eae finds himself going through the air with neither hands nor feet, but in the picture at the be- ginning of the story he has both hands and feet, How can you explain this? Everett Beran, Washington, D. C, £We feel that Mr. Wells' story isso. fantastic, that our artist is quite justified in his illustration. The story says that “I seemed to have neither hands nor feet, nor parts nor organs. . Say on see, the artist had to impersonate or represent the narrator in some form, and we can conceive that in his curious and abstracted condition, go well de- picted by the distinguished author, it was his own imagination that seemed to eliminate his conscious- ness of having-a body. We are always glad to get such well thought out criticism as yours—ED- ITOR.) THE LAND THAT TIME FORGOT Editor, AMAZING StToRIES: Mr, M, B. Butler of Taft, California, in his letter in the May issue of Amazing StTonigs, in. attempt- ing to belittle “The Land That Time Forgot,” by Edgar Rice Burroughs, states that it is “almost as good as Wells’ “The Lost World.” Evidently Mr, Butler doesn’t know much about the latter aa or he wouldn’t have ascribed it to H. G. Wells when its author jis Conan Doyle, Furthermore, his implication that Mr. Burroughs got his idea of “Caspak”’ from Doyle's. uninterest- ing story is, I am quite sure, entirely unfounded. Edgar Rice Burroughs is second to no one when it comes to originality of plot. If I’ were to be stranded on the “well-known” desert isle and could) choase beforehand some books to ease my exile, I would unhesitatingly select a complete set of Edgar ‘Rice Burroughs and settle down to enjoy myself for the rest of my life, Aanok L, Guasser; New York, N.Y, [When our correspondent starts for the Desert Isle with his complete set of Edgar Rice Burroughs if he notifies us, we will see that he is provide with a complete set of Amazino Stoariss also, Then his enjoyment will be complete—EDITOR.] HOW AMAZING STORIES IMPRESSES AND AFFECTS A READER Editor, AxAZING STORIES? After your first six copies of Awazine Stories IT must write my appreciation for your magazine, for I have delayed long cnough. Sexing your Amazina Sropiss advertised in its sister magazine, Science gnit Tuvention, I decided to buy a copy of the first issue, And I haven't missed a copy since. Your magazine is *the best on the market of ita kind today, I think. But for everything there must be a reason. First, I think your magazine gives as much knowledge along scientific lines as a year’s course in college. Tt is yo different from any other magazine on the market, that it is a relief to buy a copy and read it, Publishing a maguzine like AMAZING STORIES was the best step your company ever took in_ printing reading matter for the more thinking public, This magazine makes the reader get his mind off the everyday ‘hurly-burly- of life and takes him into the realms of science, Such stories as ‘“4Off on a Comet,” “The Man from the Atom,” “A Trip to the Center of the Earth,” and ‘‘Station X,"" bring the reader into the more intimate secrets of nature and give him a taste of real true science. Ascazixa Stones has a great uplifting effect on the reader. The stories in thic magazine, when read with concentration, seem to inspire the reader to go on and learn nore of the study— science. And to say something. of the stories individu- ally; I especially like the stories of “Off on a Comet,” “The Man from the Atom,’ "A Trip to the Center of the Earth,” “The Infinite Vision," "Station “X,’% “The Moon Metal,’ and ‘The Malignant Entity.” The other stories which were very good were the stories by Edgar Allan Poe and the stories of ‘The Scientific Adventures of Mr, Fosdick.” ‘Dr, Hackensaw's Secrets'’ is most interesting too, T like stories which deal in radio and later day science, ‘Station X" appealed to me very highly, because it dealt with my hobby, which is radio. I also like stories of chémistry and stories of as- tronomy. Iam very much in favor of having AMaztno Srons published twice each month, even though I didn't take time to send in my vote. Tt seems so Jong to wait a whole month for the best reading materinl on the market to get here. Why not make it a “twice monthly?” Just print more stories of radlo and television and print the magazine twice each month then I'll be entirely. satisfied, Joux M,. Stern, Hayti, Mo, {So far it has not been practical to isstic AMaz- ina Stories twice a month. Certain mechanical difficulties are still in the way, However, it is “possible ttint after the magazine has become estab~ NRE Will betomennotemimoathly “EDITOR “We pay him $100 a week” €6AND he’s worth every cent of it. Came A here several years ago asking for a job. He got just that—a small job at a small salary. “Then I forgot about him—hardly knew he was on the payroll until one day I got a letter from the International Correspondence Schools telling me that he had enrolled for a course of home study. It was remarkable the way he went ahead. “We pay him $100 a week now and he’s going to be earning even a larger salary some day. I wish we had more men like him.” H* do you stand when your employer checks up his men for promotion? Does he think of you? Is there any reason why you should be selected? Ask yourself these questions fairly. You must face them if you expect advancement and more money. One hour after supper cach night spent with the I. C.
