We recommend it highly.</i></p></div> + +<p class="cap"><span class="dcap">Professor Carbonic</span> was +diligently at work in his +spacious laboratory, analyzing, +mixing and experimenting. He +had been employed for more than +fifteen years in the same pursuit +of happiness, in the same house, +same laboratory, and attended +by the same servant woman, who +in her long period of service had +attained the plumpness and respectability +of two hundred and +ninety pounds.</p> + +<div class="figcenter"> +<img src="images/001.png" width="600" height="451" alt="" title="" /> +<b><small>The electric current lighted up everything in sight!</small></b></div> + +<p>"Mag Nesia," called the professor. +The servant's name was +Maggie Nesia—Professor Carbonic +had contracted the title to +save time, for in fifteen years he +had not mounted the heights of +greatness; he must work harder +and faster as life is short, and +eliminate such shameful waste of +time as putting the "gie" on +Maggie.</p> + +<p>"Mag Nesia!" the professor +repeated.</p> + +<p>The old woman rolled slowly +into the room.</p> + +<p>"Get rid of these and bring +the one the boy brought today."</p> + +<p>He handed her a tray containing +three dead rats, whose +brains had been subjected to +analysis.</p> + +<p>"Yes, Marse," answered Mag +Nesia in a tone like citrate.</p> + +<p>The professor busied himself +with a new preparation of zinc +oxide and copper sulphate and +sal ammoniac, his latest concoction, +which was about to be +used and, like its predecessors, +to be abandoned.</p> + +<p>Mag Nesia appeared bringing +another rat, dead. The professor +made no experiments on live +animals. He had hired a boy in +the neighborhood to bring him +fresh dead rats at twenty-five +cents per head.</p> + +<p>Taking the tray he prepared a +hypodermic filled with the new +preparation. Carefully he made +an incision above the right eye of +the carcass through the bone. +He lifted the hypodermic, half +hopelessly, half expectantly. The +old woman watched him, as she +had done many times before, +with always the same pitiful expression. +Pitiful, either for the +man himself or for the dead rat. +Mag Nesia seldom expressed her +views.</p> + +<p>Inserting the hypodermic +needle and injecting the contents +of the syringe, Professor Carbonic +stepped back.</p> + +<p class="p1"><i>Prof. Carbonic Makes a Great +Discovery</i></p> + +<p>"Great Saints!" His voice +could have been heard a +mile. Slowly the rat's tail began +to point skyward; and as slowly +Mag Nesia began to turn +white. Professor Carbonic stood +as paralyzed. The rat trembled +and moved his feet. The man of +sixty years made one jump with +the alacrity of a boy of sixteen, +he grabbed the enlivened animal, +and held it high above his head +as he jumped about the room.</p> + +<p>Spying the servant, who until +now had seemed unable to move, +he threw both arms around her, +bringing the rat close to her +face. Around the laboratory they +danced to the tune of the woman's +shrieks. The professor held +on, and the woman yelled. Up +and down spasmodically on the +laboratory floor came the two +hundred and ninety pounds with +the professor thrown in.</p> + +<p>Bottles tumbled from the +shelves. Furniture was upset. +Precious liquids flowed unrestrained +and unnoticed. Finally +the professor dropped with exhaustion +and the rat and Mag +Nesia made a dash for freedom.</p> + +<p>Early in the morning pedestrians +on Arlington Avenue were +attracted by a sign in brilliant +letters.</p> + +<p>Professor Carbonic early in +the morning betook himself to +the nearest hardware store and +purchased the tools necessary for +his new profession. He was an +M.D. and his recently acquired +knowledge put him in a position +to startle the world. Having procured +what he needed he returned +home.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>Things were developing fast. +Mag Nesia met him at the door +and told him that Sally Soda, +who was known to the neighborhood +as Sal or Sal Soda generally, +had fallen down two flights of +stairs, and to use her own words +was "Putty bad." Sal Soda's +mother, in sending for a doctor, +had read the elaborate sign of +the new enemy of death, and +begged that he come to see Sal +as soon as he returned.</p> + +<p>Bidding Mag Nesia to accompany +him, he went to the laboratory +and secured his precious +preparation. Professor Carbonic +and the unwilling Mag Nesia +started out to put new life into +a little Sal Soda who lived in the +same block.</p> + +<p>Reaching the house they met +the family physician then attendant +on little Sal. Doctor X. +Ray had also read the sign of +the professor and his greeting +was very chilly.</p> + +<p>"How is the child?" asked the +professor.</p> + +<p>"Fatally hurt and can live but +an hour." Then he added, "I +have done all that can be done."</p> + +<p>"All that <i>you</i> can do," corrected +the professor.</p> + +<p>With a withering glance, Doctor +X. Ray left the room and the +house. His reputation was such +as to admit of no intrusion.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>"I am sorry she is not dead, it +would be easier to work, and also +a more reasonable charge." Giving +Mag Nesia his instruments +he administered a local anesthetic; +this done he selected a brace +and bit that he had procured +that morning. With these instruments +he bored a small hole into +the child's head. Inserting his +hypodermic needle, he injected +the immortal fluid, then cutting +the end off a dowel, which he had +also procured that morning, he +hammered it into the hole until +it wedged itself tight.</p> + +<p>Professor Carbonic seated +himself comfortably and awaited +the action of his injection, while +the plump Mag Nesia paced or +rather waddled the floor with a +bag of carpenter's tools under +her arm.</p> + +<p>The fluid worked. The child +came to and sat up. Sal Soda had +regained her pep.</p> + +<p>"It will be one dollar and twenty-five +cents, Mrs. Soda," apologized +the professor. "I have to +make that charge as it is so inconvenient +to work on them +when they are still alive."</p> + +<p>Having collected his fee, the +professor and Mag Nesia departed, +amid the ever rising blessings +of the Soda family.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>At 3:30 P.M. Mag Nesia +sought her employer, who was +asleep in the sitting room.</p> + +<p>"Marse Paul, a gentleman to +see you."</p> + +<p>The professor awoke and had +her send the man in.</p> + +<p>The man entered hurriedly, +hat in hand. "Are you Professor +Carbonic?"</p> + +<p>"I am, what can I do for you?"</p> + +<p>"Can you——?" the man hesitated. +"My friend has just been +killed in an accident. You +couldn't——" he hesitated again.</p> + +<p>"I know that it is unbelievable," +answered the professor. +"But I can."</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>Professor Carbonic for some +years had suffered from the effects +of a weak heart. His fears +on this score had recently been +entirely relieved. He now had the +prescription—Death no more! +The startling discovery, and the +happenings of the last twenty-four +hours had begun to take +effect on him, and he did not +wish to make another call until +he was feeling better.</p> + +<p>"I'll go," said the professor +after a period of musing. "My +discoveries are for the benefit +of the human race, I must not +consider myself."</p> + +<p>He satisfied himself that he +had all his tools. He had just +sufficient of the preparation for +one injection; this, he thought, +would be enough; however, he +placed in his case, two vials of +different solutions, which were +the basis of his discovery. These +fluids had but to be mixed, and +after the chemical reaction had +taken place the preparation was +ready for use.</p> + +<p>He searched the house for +Mag Nesia, but the old servant +had made it certain that she did +not intend to act as nurse to +dead men on their journey back +to life. Reluctantly he decided +to go without her.</p> + +<p>"How is it possible!" exclaimed +the stranger, as they climbed +into the waiting machine.</p> + +<p>"I have worked for fifteen +years before I found the solution," +answered the professor +slowly.</p> + +<p>"I cannot understand on what +you could have based a theory +for experimenting on something +that has been universally accepted +as impossible of solution."</p> + +<p>"With electricity, all is possible; +as I have proved." Seeing +the skeptical look his companion +assumed, he continued, "Electricity +is the basis of every motive +power we have; it is the base +of every formation that we +know." The professor was warming +to the subject.</p> + +<p>"Go on," said the stranger, +"I am extremely interested."</p> + +<p>"Every sort of heat that is +known, whether dormant or active, +is only one arm of the gigantic +force electricity. The +most of our knowledge of electricity +has been gained through +its offspring, magnetism. A body +entirely devoid of electricity, is +a body dead. Magnetism is apparent +in many things including +the human race, and its presence +in many people is prominent."</p> + +<p>"But how did this lead to your +experiments?"</p> + +<p>"If magnetism or motive +force, is the offspring of electricity, +the human body must, and +does contain electricity. That we +use more electricity than the human +body will induce is a fact; +it is apparent therefore that a +certain amount of electricity +must be generated within the +human body, and without aid of +any outside forces. Science has +known for years that the body's +power is brought into action +through the brain. The brain is +our generator. The little cells +and the fluid that separate them, +have the same action as the liquid +of a wet battery; like a wet +battery this fluid wears out and +we must replace the fluid or the +sal ammoniac or we lose the +use of the battery or body. I have +discovered what fluid to use that +will produce the electricity in +the brain cells which the human +body is unable to induce."</p> + +<p>"We are here," said the stranger +as he brought the car to a +stop at the curb.</p> + +<p>"You are still a skeptic," noting +the voice of the man. "But +you shall see shortly."</p> + +<p>The man led him into the +house and introduced him to +Mrs. Murray Attic, who conducted +him to the room where the +deceased Murray Attic was laid.</p> + +<p>Without a word the professor +began his preparations. He was +ill, and would have preferred to +have been at rest in his own +comfortable house. He would do +the work quickly and get away.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>Selecting a gimlet, he bored +a hole through the skull of the +dead man; inserting his hypodermic +he injected all the fluid +he had mixed. He had not calculated +on the size of the gimlet +and the dowels he carried would +not fit the hole. As a last resource +he drove in his lead pencil, broke +it off close, and carefully cut the +splinters smooth with the head.</p> + +<p>"It will be seventy-five cents, +madam," said the professor as +he finished the work.</p> + +<hr /> + +<p>Mrs. Murray Attic paid the +money unconsciously; she did not +know whether he was embalming +her husband or just trying the +keenness of his new tools. The +death had been too much for her.</p> + +<p>The minutes passed and still +the dead man showed no signs of +reviving. Professor Carbonic +paced the floor in an agitated +manner. He began to be doubtful +of his ability to bring the man +back. Worried, he continued his +tramp up and down the room. +His heart was affecting him. He +was tempted to return the seventy-five +cents to the prostrate +wife when—THE DEAD MAN +MOVED!</p> + +<p>The professor clasped his +hands to his throat, and with his +head thrown back dropped to the +floor. A fatal attack of the heart.</p> + +<p>He became conscious quickly. +"The bottles there," he whispered. +"Mix—, make injection." He +became unconscious again.</p> + +<p>The stranger found the gimlet +and bored a hole in the professor's +head, hastily seizing one of +the vials, he poured the contents +into the deeply made hole. He +then realized that there was another +bottle.</p> + +<p>"Mix them!" shrieked the almost +hysterical woman.</p> + +<p>It was too late, the one vial +was empty, and the professor's +body lay lifeless.</p> + +<p>In mental agony the stranger +grasped the second vial and +emptied its contents also into the +professor's head, and stopped the +hole with the cork.</p> + +<p>Miraculously Professor Carbonic +opened his eyes, and rose +to his feet. His eyes were like +balls of fire; his lips moved inaudibly, +and as they moved little +blue sparks were seen to pass +from one to another. His hair +stood out from his head. The +chemical reaction was going on +in the professor's brain, with a +dose powerful enough to restore +ten men. He tottered slightly.</p> + +<p>Murray Attic, now thoroughly +alive, sat up straight in bed. He +grasped the brass bed post with +one hand and stretched out the +other to aid the staggering man.</p> + +<p>He caught his hand; both +bodies stiffened; a slight crackling +sound was audible; a blue +flash shot from where Attic's +had made contact with the bed +post; then a dull thud as both +bodies struck the floor. Both men +were electrocuted, and the formula +is still a secret.</p> + +<p class="p1"><b>THE END</b></p> + +<div class="trn"><b>Transcriber's Note:</b> +This etext was produced from <i>Amazing Stories</i> April 1956 and +was first published in <i>Amazing Stories</i> March 1927. +Extensive research did not uncover any evidence that the U.S. +copyright on this publication was renewed.

General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. + + +</pre> + +</body> +</html> diff --git a/26955-h/images/001.png b/26955-h/images/001.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..8f08735 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-h/images/001.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p216-image.png b/26955-page-images/p216-image.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..eb88f8d --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p216-image.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p216.png b/26955-page-images/p216.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2e5b94d --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p216.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p217.png b/26955-page-images/p217.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..d5e1cf8 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p217.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p218.png b/26955-page-images/p218.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..077d2c8 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p218.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p219.png b/26955-page-images/p219.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..3a3e000 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p219.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p220.png b/26955-page-images/p220.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..bbbde4d --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p220.png diff --git a/26955-page-images/p221.png b/26955-page-images/p221.png Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2b23934 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955-page-images/p221.png diff --git a/26955.txt b/26955.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..53e59f1 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955.txt @@ -0,0 +1,704 @@ +The Project Gutenberg EBook of Advanced Chemistry, by Jack G.

HUEKELS + + + _There is a lot of entertainment and also a great + deal of truth in this story. We recommend it highly._ + + +Professor Carbonic was diligently at work in his spacious laboratory, +analyzing, mixing and experimenting. He had been employed for more than +fifteen years in the same pursuit of happiness, in the same house, same +laboratory, and attended by the same servant woman, who in her long +period of service had attained the plumpness and respectability of two +hundred and ninety pounds. + +[Illustration: The electric current lighted up everything in sight!] + +"Mag Nesia," called the professor. The servant's name was Maggie +Nesia--Professor Carbonic had contracted the title to save time, for in +fifteen years he had not mounted the heights of greatness; he must work +harder and faster as life is short, and eliminate such shameful waste +of time as putting the "gie" on Maggie. + +"Mag Nesia!" the professor repeated. + +The old woman rolled slowly into the room. + +"Get rid of these and bring the one the boy brought today." + +He handed her a tray containing three dead rats, whose brains had been +subjected to analysis. + +"Yes, Marse," answered Mag Nesia in a tone like citrate. + +The professor busied himself with a new preparation of zinc oxide and +copper sulphate and sal ammoniac, his latest concoction, which was about +to be used and, like its predecessors, to be abandoned. + +Mag Nesia appeared bringing another rat, dead. The professor made no +experiments on live animals. He had hired a boy in the neighborhood to +bring him fresh dead rats at twenty-five cents per head. + +Taking the tray he prepared a hypodermic filled with the new +preparation. Carefully he made an incision above the right eye of the +carcass through the bone. He lifted the hypodermic, half hopelessly, +half expectantly. The old woman watched him, as she had done many times +before, with always the same pitiful expression. Pitiful, either for the +man himself or for the dead rat. Mag Nesia seldom expressed her views. + +Inserting the hypodermic needle and injecting the contents of the +syringe, Professor Carbonic stepped back. + + +_Prof. Carbonic Makes a Great Discovery_ + +"Great Saints!" His voice could have been heard a mile. Slowly the rat's +tail began to point skyward; and as slowly Mag Nesia began to turn +white. Professor Carbonic stood as paralyzed. The rat trembled and moved +his feet. The man of sixty years made one jump with the alacrity of a +boy of sixteen, he grabbed the enlivened animal, and held it high above +his head as he jumped about the room. + +Spying the servant, who until now had seemed unable to move, he threw +both arms around her, bringing the rat close to her face. Around the +laboratory they danced to the tune of the woman's shrieks. The professor +held on, and the woman yelled. Up and down spasmodically on the +laboratory floor came the two hundred and ninety pounds with the +professor thrown in. + +Bottles tumbled from the shelves. Furniture was upset. Precious liquids +flowed unrestrained and unnoticed. Finally the professor dropped with +exhaustion and the rat and Mag Nesia made a dash for freedom. + +Early in the morning pedestrians on Arlington Avenue were attracted by a +sign in brilliant letters. + +Professor Carbonic early in the morning betook himself to the nearest +hardware store and purchased the tools necessary for his new profession. +He was an M.D. and his recently acquired knowledge put him in a position +to startle the world. Having procured what he needed he returned home. + + * * * * * + +Things were developing fast. Mag Nesia met him at the door and told him +that Sally Soda, who was known to the neighborhood as Sal or Sal Soda +generally, had fallen down two flights of stairs, and to use her own +words was "Putty bad." Sal Soda's mother, in sending for a doctor, had +read the elaborate sign of the new enemy of death, and begged that he +come to see Sal as soon as he returned. + +Bidding Mag Nesia to accompany him, he went to the laboratory and +secured his precious preparation. Professor Carbonic and the unwilling +Mag Nesia started out to put new life into a little Sal Soda who lived +in the same block. + +Reaching the house they met the family physician then attendant on +little Sal. Doctor X. Ray had also read the sign of the professor and +his greeting was very chilly. + +"How is the child?" asked the professor. + +"Fatally hurt and can live but an hour." Then he added, "I have done all +that can be done." + +"All that _you_ can do," corrected the professor. + +With a withering glance, Doctor X. Ray left the room and the house. His +reputation was such as to admit of no intrusion. + + * * * * * + +"I am sorry she is not dead, it would be easier to work, and also a more +reasonable charge." Giving Mag Nesia his instruments he administered a +local anesthetic; this done he selected a brace and bit that he had +procured that morning. With these instruments he bored a small hole into +the child's head. Inserting his hypodermic needle, he injected the +immortal fluid, then cutting the end off a dowel, which he had also +procured that morning, he hammered it into the hole until it wedged +itself tight. + +Professor Carbonic seated himself comfortably and awaited the action of +his injection, while the plump Mag Nesia paced or rather waddled the +floor with a bag of carpenter's tools under her arm. + +The fluid worked. The child came to and sat up. Sal Soda had regained +her pep. + +"It will be one dollar and twenty-five cents, Mrs. Soda," apologized the +professor. "I have to make that charge as it is so inconvenient to work +on them when they are still alive." + +Having collected his fee, the professor and Mag Nesia departed, amid the +ever rising blessings of the Soda family. + + * * * * * + +At 3:30 P.M. Mag Nesia sought her employer, who was asleep in the +sitting room. + +"Marse Paul, a gentleman to see you." + +The professor awoke and had her send the man in. + +The man entered hurriedly, hat in hand. "Are you Professor Carbonic?" + +"I am, what can I do for you?" + +"Can you----?" the man hesitated. "My friend has just been killed in an +accident. You couldn't----" he hesitated again. + +"I know that it is unbelievable," answered the professor. "But I can." + + * * * * * + +Professor Carbonic for some years had suffered from the effects of a +weak heart. His fears on this score had recently been entirely relieved. +He now had the prescription--Death no more! The startling discovery, and +the happenings of the last twenty-four hours had begun to take effect on +him, and he did not wish to make another call until he was feeling +better. + +"I'll go," said the professor after a period of musing. "My discoveries +are for the benefit of the human race, I must not consider myself." + +He satisfied himself that he had all his tools. He had just sufficient +of the preparation for one injection; this, he thought, would be enough; +however, he placed in his case, two vials of different solutions, which +were the basis of his discovery. These fluids had but to be mixed, and +after the chemical reaction had taken place the preparation was ready +for use. + +He searched the house for Mag Nesia, but the old servant had made it +certain that she did not intend to act as nurse to dead men on their +journey back to life. Reluctantly he decided to go without her. + +"How is it possible!" exclaimed the stranger, as they climbed into the +waiting machine. + +"I have worked for fifteen years before I found the solution," answered +the professor slowly. + +"I cannot understand on what you could have based a theory for +experimenting on something that has been universally accepted as +impossible of solution." + +"With electricity, all is possible; as I have proved." Seeing the +skeptical look his companion assumed, he continued, "Electricity is the +basis of every motive power we have; it is the base of every formation +that we know." The professor was warming to the subject. + +"Go on," said the stranger, "I am extremely interested." + +"Every sort of heat that is known, whether dormant or active, is only +one arm of the gigantic force electricity. The most of our knowledge of +electricity has been gained through its offspring, magnetism. A body +entirely devoid of electricity, is a body dead. Magnetism is apparent in +many things including the human race, and its presence in many people is +prominent." + +"But how did this lead to your experiments?" + +"If magnetism or motive force, is the offspring of electricity, the +human body must, and does contain electricity. That we use more +electricity than the human body will induce is a fact; it is apparent +therefore that a certain amount of electricity must be generated within +the human body, and without aid of any outside forces. Science has known +for years that the body's power is brought into action through the +brain. The brain is our generator. The little cells and the fluid that +separate them, have the same action as the liquid of a wet battery; like +a wet battery this fluid wears out and we must replace the fluid or the +sal ammoniac or we lose the use of the battery or body. I have +discovered what fluid to use that will produce the electricity in the +brain cells which the human body is unable to induce." + +"We are here," said the stranger as he brought the car to a stop at the +curb. + +"You are still a skeptic," noting the voice of the man. "But you shall +see shortly." + +The man led him into the house and introduced him to Mrs. Murray Attic, +who conducted him to the room where the deceased Murray Attic was laid. + +Without a word the professor began his preparations. He was ill, and +would have preferred to have been at rest in his own comfortable house. +He would do the work quickly and get away. + + * * * * * + +Selecting a gimlet, he bored a hole through the skull of the dead man; +inserting his hypodermic he injected all the fluid he had mixed. He had +not calculated on the size of the gimlet and the dowels he carried would +not fit the hole. As a last resource he drove in his lead pencil, broke +it off close, and carefully cut the splinters smooth with the head. + +"It will be seventy-five cents, madam," said the professor as he +finished the work. + + * * * * * + +Mrs. Murray Attic paid the money unconsciously; she did not know whether +he was embalming her husband or just trying the keenness of his new +tools. The death had been too much for her. + +The minutes passed and still the dead man showed no signs of reviving. +Professor Carbonic paced the floor in an agitated manner. He began to be +doubtful of his ability to bring the man back. Worried, he continued his +tramp up and down the room. His heart was affecting him. He was tempted +to return the seventy-five cents to the prostrate wife when--THE DEAD +MAN MOVED! + +The professor clasped his hands to his throat, and with his head thrown +back dropped to the floor. A fatal attack of the heart. + +He became conscious quickly. "The bottles there," he whispered. "Mix--, +make injection." He became unconscious again. + +The stranger found the gimlet and bored a hole in the professor's head, +hastily seizing one of the vials, he poured the contents into the deeply +made hole. He then realized that there was another bottle. + +"Mix them!" shrieked the almost hysterical woman. + +It was too late, the one vial was empty, and the professor's body lay +lifeless. + +In mental agony the stranger grasped the second vial and emptied its +contents also into the professor's head, and stopped the hole with the +cork. + +Miraculously Professor Carbonic opened his eyes, and rose to his feet. +His eyes were like balls of fire; his lips moved inaudibly, and as they +moved little blue sparks were seen to pass from one to another. His hair +stood out from his head. The chemical reaction was going on in the +professor's brain, with a dose powerful enough to restore ten men. He +tottered slightly. + +Murray Attic, now thoroughly alive, sat up straight in bed. He grasped +the brass bed post with one hand and stretched out the other to aid the +staggering man. + +He caught his hand; both bodies stiffened; a slight crackling sound was +audible; a blue flash shot from where Attic's had made contact with the +bed post; then a dull thud as both bodies struck the floor. Both men +were electrocuted, and the formula is still a secret. + + +THE END + + + + +Transcriber's Note: + + This etext was produced from _Amazing Stories_ April 1956 and was + first published in _Amazing Stories_ March 1927.

Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg +Literary Archive Foundation + +Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without wide +spread public support and donations to carry out its mission of +increasing the number of public domain and licensed works that can be +freely distributed in machine readable form accessible by the widest +array of equipment including outdated equipment. Many small donations +($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt +status with the IRS. + +The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating +charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United +States. Compliance requirements are not uniform and it takes a +considerable effort, much paperwork and many fees to meet and keep up +with these requirements. We do not solicit donations in locations +where we have not received written confirmation of compliance. To +SEND DONATIONS or determine the status of compliance for any +particular state visit https://pglaf.org + +While we cannot and do not solicit contributions from states where we +have not met the solicitation requirements, we know of no prohibition +against accepting unsolicited donations from donors in such states who +approach us with offers to donate. + +International donations are gratefully accepted, but we cannot make +any statements concerning tax treatment of donations received from +outside the United States. U.S. laws alone swamp our small staff. + +Please check the Project Gutenberg Web pages for current donation +methods and addresses. Donations are accepted in a number of other +ways including including checks, online payments and credit card +donations. To donate, please visit: https://pglaf.org/donate + + +Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg-tm electronic +works. + +Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project Gutenberg-tm +concept of a library of electronic works that could be freely shared +with anyone. For thirty years, he produced and distributed Project +Gutenberg-tm eBooks with only a loose network of volunteer support. + + +Project Gutenberg-tm eBooks are often created from several printed +editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the U.S. +unless a copyright notice is included. Thus, we do not necessarily +keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition. + + +Most people start at our Web site which has the main PG search facility: + + https://www.gutenberg.org + +This Web site includes information about Project Gutenberg-tm, +including how to make donations to the Project Gutenberg Literary +Archive Foundation, how to help produce our new eBooks, and how to +subscribe to our email newsletter to hear about new eBooks. diff --git a/26955.zip b/26955.zip Binary files differnew file mode 100644 index 0000000..2cebff1 --- /dev/null +++ b/26955.zip diff --git a/LICENSE.txt b/LICENSE.txt new file mode 100644 index 0000000..6312041 --- /dev/null +++ b/LICENSE.txt @@ -0,0 +1,11 @@ +This eBook, including all associated images, markup, improvements, +metadata, and any other content or labor, has been confirmed to be +in the PUBLIC DOMAIN IN THE UNITED STATES. + +Procedures for determining public domain status are described in +the "Copyright How-To" at https://www.gutenberg.org. + +No investigation has been made concerning possible copyrights in +jurisdictions other than the United States.
