Our Cover

this month depicts a scene from “The Sixth Glacier,” by Marius, in which the Woolworth and Municipal Buildings, giant prides of New York, are seen giving way to the fierce strength of the onrushing masses of ice, rapidly sweeping over the entire length and breadth of the city, leaving nothing but devastation and ruin in its wake.

In Our Next Issue:

The Captured Cross-Section, by Miles J. Breuer, M.D. By mathematics, one, Simon Newcomb, an eminent scientist, proved the impossibility of flying machines. By mathematics, many a scientific theory has been proved and disproved equally absolutely. The Fourth Dimension is no exception. In this story, the scientist not only does a lot of interesting figuring, but he actually introduces an entirely new method to supplement his figures, which seems quite plausible, and in the story, at least, proves very effective. Dr. Breuer knows what he wants to say and knows how to say it. He keeps the reader in complete absorption and anxious suspense to the very end.

The Sixth Glacier, by Marius. A serial in two parts (Part II). In the concluding chapters, the author continues his story in the same engrossing manner, to tell about the further devastations caused by the fast oncoming glaciers, while the earth still moves in the frigid volume of space. Why and how the world is finally rehabilitated is well told, in gripping detail.
