G. Wells. Now that the author has established his mechanical changes and differences and the corresponding variations and modifications in the laws of the land, which we might well enough expect to find in the days of the future, he turns his attention, with equal success, to the inevitable changes in the trend and mode of human living in this age of mechanical concentra- tion. It is an absorbing study in psychology. FOUR DIMENSIONAL ROBBERIES, by Bob Olsen, Ifa four dimensional forceps could extract gall stones from the human body without any op- eration, why couldn’t it be used for other material things—banknotes and jewelry, for instance? The far-reaching effects of such a discovery as a four- dimensional instrument can hardly be foretold to any appreciable degree. The fields in which such an instrument might be used are necessarily many, and our author, by this time well known to all our reader's, has proved himself the possessor of a fer- tile mind with a turn for good writing BARON MUENCHHAUSEN’S SCIENTIFIC ADVENTURES, by Hugo Gernsback. As might be expected, the first novelty of being on Mars and the strangeness of the place wears off very quickly, and in the next instalments we find our friends, the resourceful Baron and his scientific traveling friend, learning all about Mars and the Martians. The Baron’s periodic radio communica- tions furnish a source of real scientific information. THE OCTUPUS CYCLE, by Irvin Lester and Fletcher Pratt. Every once in a while we hear from explorers and entomologists of good repute, stories of the extermination even of human life in certain localities of the jungle, by seemingly intel- ligent and organized insects or animals of the smaller varicty. This story, about a highly-devel- oped animal of the Mollusk variety, is made espe- cially interesting because a journalist and a scien- tist have collaborated on it. ee scmeccemrensnerer itt MALONE SETTLED CP UST VAST ETT EN NYT THN TTT Ft PRE NN cEATTTTTEP Tht tphaeewats Reenter dA) H DRIAL LTLAL AWD CULALLA TTR AOR OPED TUT LN TA ADEN TATT CT Y How TO SUBSCRIBE TO ‘AMAZING.
