Watch for Opening Chapter in The Republican. A Smashing fieitt Serial For you! A COLUMBUS OF SPACE By Garrett P, Serviss Author of The Sky Pilot, Moon Metal, Etc. It is not an aeroplane that the Columbus of Space has invented, nor yet a dirigible; it is, father, a projectile which can hurl itself through space at planetary speed. It is truly enough to take away the reader’s breath! Read the following bit of thrilling description from this splendid new serial story: We seemed to be at an infinite height, and the sky was as black as ink and ablaze with stars, although the sunlight was streaming into the window behind us! I could see nothing of the earth. Evidently we were too high for that. It must lie away down under our feet, I thought, so that even the horizon had sunk out of sight. I had that queer, uncontrollable qualm that comes to every one who stands on the verge of an abyss. Straight before us, so I presently became aware, was a most singular appearance in the sky. I thought at first glance that it was a round cloud, - curiously mottled. But it was strangely changeless for a cloud, and it had, moreover, a certain solidity of aspect that could not consist with vapor. “Good heavens!” cried Jack, catching sight of it. “What’s that?” “That’s the earth!” said Edmund. Dodge meteors with Edmund Stonewall and his friends. Visit Venus, and see the ever-changing glow of color of the Venustian city. Conquer the ice mountains that separate the land of endless night from the zone of ever-present day; and follow the love of Edmund Stonewall for Ala, the beautiful, to its romantic conclusion.
