The Revolt of the Atoms, by V. Orlovsky. Like every other new idea, the theory that the energy contained in the atom, if released, would be sufficient to blow the world up, is denied by other scientists. They maintain there is no danger. We cannot tell now, which school of scientists is right, but this tale, which comes to us from Russia, is an excellent story of absorbing interest, not only as a piece of fiction, but for the science contained in it also.

In the Green Prism, by A. Hyatt Verrill. A serial in 2 parts (Part II). There can be very little doubt in the minds of those who have read any of Mr. Verrill’s stories, that he always has something unusually interesting to tell and that he knows how to tell it. Absorbing as the first instalment was, the concluding paragraphs exceed it by far with the astounding findings which the Indian scientist makes looking through the green prism. Along with its surprise episodes, there is plenty of science in the story.

The Posterity Fund, by Raymond Emery Lawrence. Stories of the far distant future are generally interesting and always compel our attention. “This particular tale deals with an unusual subject in the field of scientifiction—the possible evolution of our, present monetary system. You don’t need to be an economist to enjoy this ingenious piece of work.

Fingers of the Mist, by Peter Brough. Synthetic life is no novelty in the laboratory any more. Scientists claim to have come pretty close to the secret of life—even if only in the microscopic form thus far. It seems quite possible, even now, that great strides will be made in that science in the near future. At any rate, the idea gives our new author a splendid vehicle for an absorbing story of unusual interest.

And others.
