Serviss (serial, part 1), continuing adventures of space travelers on Venus; "The Empire of the Ants" by H. G. Wells; "The Scientific Adventures of Mr. Fosdick (The International Electro-Galvanic Undertaking Corp.)" by Jacque Morgan; Jules Verne's "Doctor Ox's Experiment"; "The Talking Brain" by M. H. Hasta, featuring a scientist communicating with a living brain via Morse code; "High Tension" by Albert B. Stuart, M.D.; and "Station X" by G.
