You can not fail to remember “The Malignant Entity,” by this well-known author, Here he has outdone himself in an original story, never pub- lished before, which shows you all of the wonders of radio when used for malignant purposes; a story so thrilling and yet so pregnant with pos- sibilities, that you shudder to think that the same instrumentalities which we actually have today might be put to use by some one with a criminal mentality. THE WINGED DOOM, by Kenneth Gilbert. Now that aviation has come to the fore again, through the exploits of our American flyers, “The Winged Doom," gives you a peep into the future, and you see what may happen when a powerful nation is about to invade this country. Here we have aviation to the nth degree, and yet, as you read on, you will become convinced of the possibilities contained in the story. THE STONE CAT—” by Miles J. Breuer, M.D. “ . . but his (Lot's) wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.” Thus reads the Bible (Genesis xix:26). In reading this story by the author of “The Man with the Strange Head,” you will instinctively think of petrified forests and prehistoric animals, many of which can be found in our national museums. We simply mention this to show that the idea of petrifying human beings is, after all, not so-far-fetched. THE WAR OF THE WORLDS, by H. G. Wells. In the second installment we find the Martians in possession of the earth, By means of their superior intelligence and their death- dealing war implements, they have thoroughly subjugated everybody. The author describes graphically what might happen on earth should any nation be able to acquire such power. You will read with intense interest the concluding part of this great scientifiction story. 52 ET TTP TOT THEFT TY SSCS EES TT FTSCTETATT ET EEFCCEOETY DERIVE.
