-                   You will notice that this is the
-                     Special Weird Poetry Number.
-
-                      The next issue will be the
-                      Special Short Story Number,
-
-and the March issue will be dedicated to Weird Tales. By the way,
-F. Lee Baldwin, the author of our well-liked department, "Within the
-Circle," has compiled an excellent biography of H. P. Lovecraft which
-will appear in the Weird Tales number with a special wood-cut of the
-famed writer by Duane W. Rimel. Coming up is also volumes of material
-from Seabury Quinn, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E.
-Howard, R. H. Barlow, Robert Nelson, and all your other favorite
-writers.
-
-Upon suggestions from many of our readers, we are dropping "Our Readers
-Say" department with this issue. As H. Koenig points, continuous
-repetition of "I liked this" and "I liked that" does not make very
-interesting reading. Therefore, "Our Readers Say" will be replaced
-by this "Forward" each month besides fan articles made from the most
-interesting of our readers' communications.
-
-Due to the huge influx of contributions, we find it very difficult
-to oblige all of our contributors by placing their material in print
-promptly. We intend to use the best material first and must ask the
-patience of all those who have sent us articles. Please remember our
-limited space.

-
-I have just had an opportunity to check up on Blackwood's "The Wolves
-of God," (writes H. Koenig). The book was written by Blackwood and
-Wilson as I indicated in my last letter. I find, however, that the
-only story credited directly to Blackwood was the last story in the
-book entitled "Vengeance is Mine" and _not_ the title story. Hence,
-if you should publish my earlier letter, please make the correction.
-Incidentally, it may be well that Blackwood had a hand in the other
-stories. But if so, the Table of Contents does not so indicate.

-                             A GRAND SLAM
-
-You will remember that in our editorial for the November, 1934, number,
-we stated casually that the average intelligence of the general public
-was that of a moron. We have received a post-card containing the
-following from "One of the 'General Public'," post-marked Newark,
-N. J.:
-
-"In recently wasting time glancing through that collection of waste
-paper which you honor with the title of a magazine, I noticed that you
-consider the general public--of which I am proud to be a member--a
-collection of moronic individuals, and the followers of your creed of
-a "higher type of intellect." I just hate to disagree with you, but if
-you investigate the reason for the small number of such creatures, you
-would probably find out that most asylums censor their inmate's mail.
-Unfortunately, lack of space and postal laws prohibit my expressing of
-my true opinion of both the (?-!--) and its readers. I challenge you to
-print this."
-
-It is easy to see that the writer of this card is "one of the general
-public." Here we find the customary challenge to print it and the lack
-of signature, which must denote that the writer is either ashamed or
-afraid to append his name. Concerning asylums, however, we hadn't even
-thought of soliciting the inmates. That's not a bad idea. We'll have to
-take that point up at the next Director's Meeting. Which one are you
-in?

-                           WEIRD WHISPERINGS
-
-                          by Julius Schwartz
-
-Arthur B. Reeve, creator of the famous scientific-sleuth, Craig
-Kennedy, makes his bow to _Weird Tales_ readers with a novelette in the
-May issue!... Jack Binder, brother of the popular author Eando Binder,
-will do most of the illustrating for _Weird_ commencing with the April
-number.... C. L. Moore has pulled a "Clark Ashton Smith" and has drawn
-the illustration for her forthcoming yarn in WT "Julhui".... There will
-be no women on _Weird Tales'_ covers for two consecutive issues this
-year, April and May!
-
-_Dr. Death_ is the title of the latest fantasy magazine to appear on
-the newsstands. It features a weird-scientific novel each month written
-by "Zorro," which is the pseudonym for Harold Ward. Rounding out the
-rest of the issue are three or four thrillers with a pseudo-scientific
-or weird background.... Donald Wandrei's latest Ivy Frost novelette,
-"They Could Not Kill Him," appears currently in _Clues_.... The April
-cover of _Weird Tales_ will illustrate a scene in A. W. Bernal's
-"The Man Who was Two Men," and deals with an amazing development in
-radio after television.... Bernal, by the way, is a student in the
-University of California, and sold his first yarn, "The Man Who Played
-with Time," which appeared in March, 1932 WT at the early age of 15.
-
-Farnsworth Wright brings up an interesting point regarding titles of
-stories. Hardly a month goes by that does not bring at least one story
-titled "The House of Fear," another entitled "The House of Living
-Death," and another entitled "Hands of Death." The commonest title
-on manuscripts submitted is "Retribution," but stories with the word
-"House" in the title are almost as frequent. Of course, these titles
-are changed if the story is accepted, to avoid repeating the same
-title that has been used in the magazine before. "The House of the
-Living Dead," by Harold Ward, appeared in WT for March, 1932. Quinn's
-cover design story for the February, 1935 issue had the same title, in
-manuscript, but the title was changed to "The Web of Living Death."
-Harold Ward's cover design story for the March issue this year was
-originally titled "Hands of Death," but this was too similar to Quinn's
-tale title, "Hands of the Dead" in the current January issue, so the
-title of Ward's story was changed to "Clutching Hands of Death."

-                   SUPERNATURAL HORROR IN LITERATURE
-
-                          by H. P. Lovecraft
-
-                             Part Sixteen
-
-                   (copyright 1927 by W. Paul Cook)
-
-                 VIII. The Weird Tradition in America
-
-The public for whom Poe wrote, though grossly unappreciative of his
-art, was by no means unaccustomed to the horrors with which he dealt.
-America, besides inheriting the usual dark folklore of Europe, had an
-additional fund of weird associations to draw upon; so that spectral
-legends had already been recognized as fruitful subject-matter for
-literature. Charles Brockden Brown had achieved phenomenal fame with
-his Radcliffian romances, and Washington Irving's lighter treatment
-of eerie themes had quickly become classic. This additional fund
-proceeded, as Paul Elmer Moore has pointed out, from the keen spiritual
-and theological interests of the first colonists, plus the strange
-and forbidding nature of the scene into which they were plunged, the
-vast and gloomy virgin forest in whose perpetual twilight all terrors
-might well lurk; the hordes of coppery Indians whose strange, saturnine
-visages and violent customs hinted strongly at traces of infernal
-origin; the free rein given under the influence of Puritan theocracy
-to all manner of notions respecting man's relation to the stern and
-vengeful God of the Calvinists, and to the sulphureous Adversary of
-that God, about whom so much was thundered in the pulpits each Sunday;
-and the morbid introspection developed by an isolated backwoods life
-devoid of normal amusements and of the recreational mood, harassed
-by commands for theological self-examination, keyed to unnatural
-emotional repression, and forming above all a mere grim struggle for
-survival--all these things conspired to produce an environment in
-which the black whisperings of sinister grandams were heard far beyond
-the chimney corner, and in which tales of witchcraft and unbelievable
-secret monstrosities lingered long after the dread days of the Salem
-nightmare.
-
-Poe represents the newer, more disillusioned, and more technically
-finished of the weird schools that rose out of this propitious milieu.
-Another school--the tradition of moral values, gentle restraint, and
-mild, leisurely phantasy tinged more or less with the whimsical--was
-represented by another famous, misunderstood, and lonely figure in
-American letters--the shy and sensitive Nathaniel Hawthorne, scion
-of antique Salem and great-grandson of one of the bloodiest of the
-old witchcraft judges. In Hawthorne we have none of the violence, the
-daring, the high colouring, the intense dramatic sense, the cosmic
-malignity, and the undivided and impersonal artistry of Poe. Here,
-instead, is a gentle soul cramped by the Puritanism of early New
-England; shadowed and wistful, and grieved at an unmoral universe
-which everywhere transcends the conventional patterns thought by our
-forefathers to represent divine and immutable law. Evil, a very real
-force to Hawthorne, appears on every hand as a lurking and conquering
-adversary; and the visible world becomes in his fancy a theater of
-infinite tragedy and woe, with unseen, half-existent influences
-hovering over it and through it, battling for supremacy and moulding
-the destinies of the hapless mortals who form its vain and self-deluded
-population. The heritage of American weirdness was his to a most
-intense degree, and he saw a dismal throng of vague spectres behind the
-common phenomena of life; but he was not disinterested enough to value
-impressions, sensations, and beauties of narration for their own sake.
-He must needs weave his phantasy into some quietly melancholy fabric
-of didactic or allegorical cast, in which his meekly resigned cynicism
-may display with naive moral appraisal the perfidy of a human race
-which he cannot cease to cherish and mourn despite his insight into
-its hypocrisy. Supernatural horror, then, is never a primary object
-with Hawthorne; though its impulses were so deeply woven into his
-personality that he cannot help suggesting it with the force of genius
-when he calls upon the unreal world to illustrate the pensive sermon he
-wishes to preach.
-
-Hawthorne's intimations of the weird, always gentle, elusive, and
-restrained, may be traced throughout his work. The mood that produced
-them found one delightful vent in the Teutonised retelling of classic
-myths for children contained in "A Wonder Book" and "Tanglewood
-Tales," and at other times exercised itself in casting a certain
-strangeness and intangible witchery or malevolence over events not
-meant to be actually supernatural; as in the macabre posthumous novel
-"Dr. Grimshawe's Secret," which invests with a peculiar sort of
-repulsion a house existing to this day in Salem, and abutting on the
-ancient Charter Street Ground. In "The Marble Faun," whose design was
-sketched out in an Italian villa reputed to be haunted, a tremendous
-background of genuine phantasy and mystery palpitates just beyond
-the common reader's sight; and glimpses of fabulous blood in mortal
-veins are hinted at during the course of a romance which cannot help
-being interesting despite the persistent incubus of moral allegory,
-anti-Popery propaganda, and a Puritan prudery which caused the late
-D. H. Lawrence to express a longing to treat the author in a highly
-undignified manner. "Septimius Felton," a posthumous novel whose idea
-was to have been elaborated and incorporated into the unfinished
-"Dolliver Romance," touches on the Elixir of Life in a more or less
-capable fashion; whilst the notes for a never-written tale to be called
-"The Ancestral Footstep," shows what Hawthorne would have done with an
-intensive treatment of an old English superstition--that of an ancient
-and accursed line whose members left footprints of blood as they
-walked--which appears incidentally in both "Septimius Felton" and "Dr.
-Grimshawe's Secret."
-
-(Mr. Lovecraft tells you more about Nathaniel Hawthorne in the next
-issue. Don't miss Part Seventeen).

-
-                          (A True Experience)
-
-                           by Hoy Ping Pong
-
-                  (Apologies to Kenneth B. Pritchard)
-
-Many people have seen freaks and monsters, both in the circus and
-in their nightmares, especially after a gay night, but this which
-I tell of happened when I was cold sober, on a crispy winter night
-in the middle of July. (Don't laugh--this might have happened in
-Australia--Editor).
-
-I had returned from a party, and to be sure, I was half lit up, for I
-had dashed down several canters of buttermilk, but nevertheless, I was
-cold sober when I met the great adventure! I had just about reached
-home, when my sixth sense warned me that something was wrong. I looked
-about.
-
-The snow covered the ground several inches thick, but as far as I could
-see, not a single footprint marred the beauty of it. I even turned to
-look behind me, but could not see my own tracks. Too peaceful. I had a
-grim foreboding of something evil. For want of something better to do,
-I bent over and tied my shoelace. And then I saw it!
-
-For as I bent over, I caught a glimpse of a monstrous foot protruding
-from behind a nearby tree! Hastily, I assumed an innocent manner
-and straightened. I must not let the Thing know I had seen it!
-Nonchalantly, I lighted a Fizwig and blew smoke rings. And then it
-happened!
-
-For the monster stepped out from behind the tree and approached me! He
-was the strangest thing I had ever seen! All of six foot tall, four
-queer limbs protruding from his body, a round, shiny cranium perched
-upon what I took to be shoulders, and a mass of hanging brown stuff
-sticking to the cranium. He had on some queer dress of blue material,
-with shoulder straps on each side. I mumbled in fear and awaited his
-approach.
-
-For several seconds he surveyed me, and then, much to my absolute
-horror, he spoke. Spoke to me! My hair stood straight up in the air, my
-eyes rolled, and I fainted at those fearful words: "I say, old chap,
-could you direct me to the post office?"

-
-                          (A True Experience)
-
-                        by Kenneth B. Pritchard
-
-On Saturday evening, October 21, 1933, a strange thing was noted by two
-friends and myself.
-
-It was quite dark, for clouds were thick and hanging low in the sky.
-
-From out of the east there flashed a beam as of a searchlight questing
-thru the atmosphere. It shone at intervals of a few seconds. These
-intervals were irregular, and sometimes the beam would last longer than
-at others. Once, it lasted easily ten seconds, and probably more.
-
-At times this light seemed a reflection from the clouds; but then
-again, after the almost beam-like light had ceased, the light came
-directly from the clouds seemingly from someone in or above them!
-
-There are no really high places in my city (Pittsfield, Mass.) to shine
-a light from that position.
-
-Was it a search beam, a natural phenomena, or something from Beyond?

-
-"The Ghoul," British weird tale of the screen, disappeared from Los
-Angeles screens the day Forrest J. Ackerman arrived there, playing no
-theater during all the summer months he looked for it. The morning he
-left, it came on again!
-
-Jack Williamson is recuperating from an appendix operation and has done
-no writing for quite a while. He says: "--My drugged slumbers in the
-first few days after the operation bred some of the weirdest dreams
-yet, and I'm anxious to get back to writing".... When in Key West last
-winter, he and Edmond Hamilton had a few adventures such as capsizing a
-skiff out in the Atlantic and towing it behind them as they swam back
-to shore. Hamilton caught a monster jew fish.
-
-Wright has bought "The Cyclops of Xoatl," featuring Two-Gun Bart Leslie
-and his pursuit of a cannibal monster in Mexico. The tale is by
-E. Hoffmann Price and Otis Adelbert Kline.... The two are now planning
-a story of Burma, about leopard men.... Pierre d'Artois, Price's
-veteran swordsman, is more or less a picture of his old fencing-master
-of long ago during his academic days.... Price says about "Queen of the
-Lilin": I ploughed through a good deal of research in order to present
-Lilith authentically. A good deal of the Lilith lore had to be cut out
-in the interests of brevity, which I regretted, as I felt that some of
-the fans would enjoy a closer acquaintance with the fascinating Queen
-of Zemargad.
-
-R. H. Barlow is in Washington taking treatment for his eyes. He is also
-taking a light art course at the Corcoran Gallery.
-
-Alonzo Leonard, who appeared sometime ago in "Believe It Or Not"
-for inventing a private language, is an authority on cults, ancient
-languages, superstitions, and strange beliefs. He has compiled a set of
-"books," 48 volumes, of all strange happenings and things of unusual
-nature. The collection is called "Encyclopedia Satanic."

-                             III. The Key
-
-    I do not know what windings in the waste
-    Of those strange sea-lanes brought me home once more,
-    But on my porch I trembled, white with haste
-    To get inside and bolt the heavy door.
-    I had the book that told the hidden way
-    Across the void and through the space-hung screens
-    That hold the undimensioned worlds at bay,
-    And keep lost aeons to their own demesnes.
-
-    At last the key was mine to those vague visions
-    Of sunset spires and twilight woods that brood
-    Dim in the gulfs beyond this earth's precisions,
-    Lurking as memories of infinitude.
-    The key was mine, but as I sat there mumbling,
-    The attic window shook with a faint fumbling.
-
-
-                             V. Homecoming
-
-    The daemon said that he would take me home
-    To the pale, shadow-land I half-recalled
-    As a high place of stair and terrace, walled
-    With marble balustrades that sky-winds comb,
-    While miles below a maze of dome on dome
-    And tower on tower beside a sea lies sprawled.
-    Once more, he told me, I would stand enthralled
-    On those old heights, and hear the far-off foam.
-
-    All this he promised, and through sunset's gate
-    He swept me, past the lapping lakes of flame,
-    And red-gold thrones of gods without a name
-    Who shriek in fear at some impending fate.
-    Then a black gulf with sea-sounds in the night:
-    "Here was your home," he mocked, "when you had sight!"

-
-    Spawn of the cellars, rising black,
-    Midst darkened doorways, out a crack;
-    To wither each bright blade of grass,
-    And smother flying souls that pass.
-
-    Spawns of the cellars; evil slime;
-    Heed not their calling, lest they climb
-    As rays of light upon thy face,
-    And steal thy spirit's resting place.
-
-    Wraiths of corruption, creep not in;
-    For though their minds be steeped in sin,
-    They hold a germ of terror yet,
-    That baffles every evil met.
-
-    Seed of the tombstone, enter now;
-    Their house is darkened to the mow.
-    Your chance has come to right the wrong,
-    That you have waited all too long.
-
-    Spawn of the cellars, rising fast,
-    To seek the hell-hounds out at last:
-    They cloudlike through the window creep,
-    On those who sprawl in drunken sleep.
-
-    Dread putrefactions, find your breed;
-    That you may pay that awful deed;
-    That you may spread your bloating jaws,
-    And sap their entrails through your maws.
-
-    Germ of corruption, speed ye fast.
-    A thing is rising to its last;
-    For greedy claws to grip around,
-    And carry back to that mouldy mound.
-
-    Spawn of the cellars, get ye back
-    To gulfs of darkness where no track,
-    Can trace you to that worming brood;
-    Or toss your bones in darkened mood.
-
-    Seed of the tombstone, floating black,
-    Back to the cellar through that crack.
-    And beings stare with sightless eyes,
-    Down black steps where a brother lies.

-
-                         by Natalie H. Wooley
-
-    She is like living golden flame.
-    She knows not whence or why she came
-        Into this world ... and yet at times
-    I hear her call strange gods by name.
-
-    There is no warmth in her embrace,
-    Of human passions not a trace.
-        She seems remote, a thing attuned
-    To summonings from outer space.
-
-    And on each starry, moonlit night
-    She gazes long in rapt delight
-        Toward the skies ... while I weep
-    Lest the message come, and she take flight.

-
-                               2. Babel
-
-    Now in the gloom the pulsing drums repeat,
-    And all the night is filled with evil sound;
-    I hear the throbbing of inhuman feet
-    On marble stairs that silence locks around.
-
-    I see black temples loom against the night,
-    With tentacles like serpents writhed afar,
-    And waving in a dusky dragon light
-    Great moths whose wings unholy tapers char.
-
-    Red memory on memory, tier on tier,
-    Builds up a tower, time and space to span;
-    Through world on world I rise, and sphere on sphere,
-    To star-shot gulfs of lunacy and fear--
-    Black screaming ages never dreamed by man.
-
-    Was this your plan, foul spawn of cosmic mire,
-    To freeze my soul to stone and icy fire,
-    To carve me in the moon that all mankind
-    May know its race is futile, weak and blind--
-    A horror-blasted statue in the sky,
-    That does not live and nevermore can die?

-
-                           by Robert Nelson
-
-    With the red bewitchment of the moon canines collect
-    And feast and howl o'er carrion and orts and bones
-    In green and putrid grots that echo shrill sea-moans;
-    And huge and hoary plantigrades on crags most high,
-    Hearing the maddened carnal ravings of the hounds,
-    Huddle together on the topmost frozen mounds
-    To hurl immense boulders on them until all die.

-                            THE ELDER THING
-
-                           by William Lumley
-
-    Oh, have you seen the Elder Thing
-      That creeps upon the hill--
-    A fearsome Thing with lurid eyes
-      At night when all is still;
-    A horror wrought of withered moss
-      And foul primordial slime,
-    Wherein there fester monstrously
-      The evils of all time?
-
-    With phosphorescent glow like naught
-      That Nature might devise,
-    All the fell ancient lore of earth
-      Gleams hellish in its eyes.
-    As night by night this Elder Thing
-      Upon the hill doth creep,
-    Awakened by men's blasphemies
-      From out its age-long sleep.
-
-    By monolith and haunted fen
-      Down to the mandrake mere
-    It prowls to meet the sheeted dead
-      That squeak and gibber there;
-    And nameless things, not beasts nor men,
-      With bat-like creatures vie,
-    And loathsome reptiles writhe and hiss
-     Till daybreak pales the sky.
-
-    A thousand shapes the Things--
-      A thousand shapes or none--
-    All forms of Fear since Earth was born
-      It mirrors as its own;
-    It apes each rhythmic Elder Sign
-      As it doth onward creep,
-    Awakened by man's blasphemies
-      From out its age-long sleep.

-
-                           by Lionel Dilbeck
-
-    When the bells toll midnight
-    And Dark Things begin to roam,
-    The old house shivers, and the
-    Walls begin to moan.
-
-    The rats stop their scurrying
-    And everything is quiet;
-    The moon rises, softly,
-    As if in fright.
-
-    The wind howls mournfully
-    Through the skeleton trees,
-    And the breath of corruption
-    Is borne in on the breeze.
-
-    The corpse in the cellar
-    Mouths a slobbering curse;
-    On those who have slit his throat,
-    And robbed him of his purse.
-
-    The maggots swarm in his rotten flesh,
-    And he howls in mad despair;
-    He shrieks and moans and rages
-    And tears his gristly hair.
-
-    He rages thus each night
-    From midnight until one;
-    And the maggots swarm and wiggle,
-    And have their hellish fun.

-                            THE DEAD WORLD
-
-                        by Richard F. Searight
-
-    I dreamed I stood atop a craggy verge
-    And scanned long miles of dreary, jumbled waste
-    That stretched, sharp-etched in airless, frozen surge
-    Beneath the sable, star-strewn vault it faced.
-
-    Black empty mouths of craters, grim and cold,
-    Yawned bottomless, abysmal pits of slag
-    Amid the desert stretching fold on fold
-    To distant jagged peak and sharp-thrust crag.
-
-    The desolation flooded through my soul--
-    No living thing relieved the dismal rifts
-    Of long-past cataclysms; the bleak roll
-    Of upflung ridge and tangled lava drifts.
-
-    It was as if a Titan band had played
-    With this dead world when it was young and fair,
-    And tired of the sport when they had made
-    A ruin and a wreckage past repair.
-
-    The cold of outer voids lay like a blight
-    Of cosmic hate across the planet's face;
-    And from the riven features I took flight
-    To seek relief in fairer realms of space.

-                             A WEIRD BOOK
-
-                           by P. J. Searles
-
-                       "Lost Horizon" by Hilton.
-
-Weird stories are so often bloody and gruesome that it is a delight
-to find one written in an urbane and restrained style. "Lost Horizon"
-tells of the stealing of a plane and its four passengers (two British
-consular agents, an American absconding banker, and an American
-missionary) during a tribal outbreak north of India and their
-intentional removal to a remote valley in Tibet where they find a
-semi-Christian and semi-Buddhist monastery, inhabited by a group of
-serene men and women who have achieved an indefinitely prolonged life.
-
-The main portion of the story concerns life in the monastery and
-the attempt by its head to persuade the few prisoners to remain
-there, exchanging a hurried, confused, and short life in so-called
-civilization for calm, peace, and longevity in Tibet. Naturally, and
-inevitably, the denouement is a tragedy, indirect, but poignant.
-
-Mr. Hilton is an urbane satirist (if that is not a contradiction of
-terms) who has produced a beautiful story, weird and unusual, but
-without the so-frequent accompaniment of vampires, ghosts, or the like.
-He writes delicately in a style reminiscent of Owens' "The Wind that
-Tramps the World." "Lost Horizon" is not for the blood-and-thunder
-reader; it has no "crashing suns," no "supernatural," no "unseen
-presences," no incredible "brain surgeons," no "werewolves," but it
-does have an unusual plot, weird in a faint and beautiful manner. For
-the not-too-hardened it will be a pleasure.

-
-                           by Robert Nelson
-
-Death is a wheel....
-
-Death is a wheel, grinding, rending, crushing. The little boy skipped
-gayly to the grocery store for his mother. Crossing the street, he
-did not see an oncoming truck. It was too late and--Death is a wheel,
-grinding, rending, crushing. Death is a wheel....
-
-Death is a dollar bill....
-
-Death is a dollar bill. A gust of wind swept a vagrant dollar bill into
-the gutter. It sped onward thru the streets. Onward to a jutting pier.
-Onward it went. A man espied it. He ran for it. Stumbled. Ran on. He
-came to the end of the pier. Fell into the water. But he grasped the
-dollar bill. "I've got it!" he cried. And then he sank beneath the
-waves. Death is a dollar bill....
-
-Death is a dream....
-
-Death is a dream. "Death, too, must be a dream," said the man in his
-dream. "Petty hills. Endless. Light all about. Light ... gladness ...
-music ... voices of women. But my throat. How tight. I am choking....
-Breath, breath. My breath. Pretty hills. Endless. My breath. God, my
-breath. Light ... breath ... hills ... music ... voices of women.
-Breath...." Death is a dream....

-                 SCIENCE FICTION IN ENGLISH MAGAZINES

-                             by Bob Tucker
-
-                            (Series Eight)
-
-British science fiction, with the death of "Scoops," has just about
-gone pfft, to quote a New York columnist. The small four-cent magazines
-in the field do not run enough "science" fiction to make reading them
-worth your time.
-
-The "Triumph" is still running the "Invisible Charlie" series, and they
-get no better each time. The "Wizard" has come forth with the "Worms
-of Doom." It's the old idea of the gent with a world-conquering mania
-again. He lets loose strange worms upon the world, said worms capable
-of devouring steel. Of course, they devour the most popular buildings
-first of all. It's funny how the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State
-Building taste better than ordinary ones.
-
-"Amazing Stories" publishes a British Edition over there, so that
-helps somewhat. When questioned, "Wonder" and "Astounding" say that
-they don't publish such editions, but "Wonder" adds "as yet," so maybe
-someday....

-                              AN ANECDOTE
-
-                        by Forrest J. Ackerman
-
-In the early days of science fiction when there were not many authors
-who wrote it and Amazing was chiefly a magazine of Verne-Wells-Poe
-reprints, Bob Olsen was writing and had a friend who thought he could
-too. Bob had two tales published in Amazing without mentioning the
-accomplishment to his friend who succeeded in having nothing accepted
-(he was not writing stf). Then, with the third story, Bob's name
-appeared on the cover, giving him quite a thrill. 'Stories by: H. G.
-Wells, Bob Olsen, Edgar Allan Poe', it read. "Uh, what do you think
-of that?" asked Bob proudly, now displaying his work, his name with
-Wells and Poe. The friend sized up a moment. Then, "They've got you
-just right, all right," he seemed to have to admit, Bob swelling with
-pride--"half way between a live one and a dead one!"
-
-Bob still thinks he was a little bit envious, tho.

-
-                         by Mortimer Weisinger
-
-Years ago, when Hugo Gernsback's "Scientific Adventures of Baron
-Munchhausen" were appearing serially in the Electrical Experimenter,
-it occasionally transpired that an installment was omitted. At such
-intervals various ingenious excuses were offered to explain the
-missing chapters. Perhaps the gem of them all is the one which we are
-reproducing herewith, taken from a 1915 issue.
-
-"Baron Munchhausen, as will be noted, has failed to make his appearance
-this month. Urgent wireless telegrams to his chronologist-in-chief,
-the Hon. I. M. Alier, of Yankton, Mass., disclosed the fact that the
-venerable old gentleman had contracted a virulent case of Atmospheris
-Marsianis, which sometimes attacks Interplanetary travellers not
-acclimatized to the peculiar Martian air. Mr. Alier, however, states
-that Professor Flitternix, the Baron's companion, advises him that
-Munchhausen will be back on the job next month. Of course we're sorry,
-but what can we do?"

-Section 2. Information about the Mission of Project Gutenberg-tm
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm is synonymous with the free distribution of
-electronic works in formats readable by the widest variety of
-computers including obsolete, old, middle-aged and new computers. It
-exists because of the efforts of hundreds of volunteers and donations
-from people in all walks of life.
-
-Volunteers and financial support to provide volunteers with the
-assistance they need are critical to reaching Project Gutenberg-tm's
-goals and ensuring that the Project Gutenberg-tm collection will
-remain freely available for generations to come. In 2001, the Project
-Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation was created to provide a secure
-and permanent future for Project Gutenberg-tm and future
-generations. To learn more about the Project Gutenberg Literary
-Archive Foundation and how your efforts and donations can help, see
-Sections 3 and 4 and the Foundation information page at
-www.gutenberg.org

-
-Section 4. Information about Donations to the Project Gutenberg
-Literary Archive Foundation
-
-Project Gutenberg-tm depends upon and cannot survive without
-widespread 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 www.gutenberg.org/donate
-
-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 checks, online payments and credit card donations. To
-donate, please visit: www.gutenberg.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 forty 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 not protected by copyright 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 website which has the main PG search
-facility: www.gutenberg.org
-
-This website 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.

-<h3>FORWARD<br />
-by Ye Ed</h3>
-
-<p class="ph1">You will notice that this is the
-Special Weird Poetry Number.</p>
-
-<p class="ph1">The next issue will be the
-Special Short Story Number,</p>
-
-<p>and the March issue will be dedicated to Weird Tales. By the way,
-F. Lee Baldwin, the author of our well-liked department, "Within the
-Circle," has compiled an excellent biography of H. P. Lovecraft which
-will appear in the Weird Tales number with a special wood-cut of the
-famed writer by Duane W. Rimel. Coming up is also volumes of material
-from Seabury Quinn, H. P. Lovecraft, Clark Ashton Smith, Robert E.
-Howard, R. H. Barlow, Robert Nelson, and all your other favorite
-writers.</p>
-
-<p>Upon suggestions from many of our readers, we are dropping "Our Readers
-Say" department with this issue. As H. Koenig points, continuous
-repetition of "I liked this" and "I liked that" does not make very
-interesting reading. Therefore, "Our Readers Say" will be replaced
-by this "Forward" each month besides fan articles made from the most
-interesting of our readers' communications.</p>
-
-<p>Due to the huge influx of contributions, we find it very difficult
-to oblige all of our contributors by placing their material in print
-promptly. We intend to use the best material first and must ask the
-patience of all those who have sent us articles. Please remember our
-limited space.</p>
-
-
-
-<hr class="chap" />
-<h3>MR. KOENIG CORRECTS</h3>
-
-<p>I have just had an opportunity to check up on Blackwood's "The Wolves
-of God," (writes H. Koenig). The book was written by Blackwood and
-Wilson as I indicated in my last letter. I find, however, that the
-only story credited directly to Blackwood was the last story in the
-book entitled "Vengeance is Mine" and <i>not</i> the title story. Hence,
-if you should publish my earlier letter, please make the correction.
-Incidentally, it may be well that Blackwood had a hand in the other
-stories. But if so, the Table of Contents does not so indicate.</p>
-
-
-
-<hr class="chap" />
-<h3>A GRAND SLAM</h3>
-
-<p>You will remember that in our editorial for the November, 1934, number,
-we stated casually that the average intelligence of the general public
-was that of a moron. We have received a post-card containing the
-following from "One of the 'General Public'," post-marked Newark,
-N. J.:</p>
-
-<p>"In recently wasting time glancing through that collection of waste
-paper which you honor with the title of a magazine, I noticed that you
-consider the general public&mdash;of which I am proud to be a member&mdash;a
-collection of moronic individuals, and the followers of your creed of
-a "higher type of intellect." I just hate to disagree with you, but if
-you investigate the reason for the small number of such creatures, you
-would probably find out that most asylums censor their inmate's mail.
-Unfortunately, lack of space and postal laws prohibit my expressing of
-my true opinion of both the (?-!&mdash;) and its readers. I challenge you to
-print this."</p>
-
-<p>It is easy to see that the writer of this card is "one of the general
-public." Here we find the customary challenge to print it and the lack
-of signature, which must denote that the writer is either ashamed or
-afraid to append his name. Concerning asylums, however, we hadn't even
-thought of soliciting the inmates. That's not a bad idea. We'll have to
-take that point up at the next Director's Meeting. Which one are you
-in?</p>

-<h3>WEIRD WHISPERINGS<br />
-by Julius Schwartz</h3>
-
-<p>Arthur B. Reeve, creator of the famous scientific-sleuth, Craig
-Kennedy, makes his bow to <i>Weird Tales</i> readers with a novelette in the
-May issue!... Jack Binder, brother of the popular author Eando Binder,
-will do most of the illustrating for <i>Weird</i> commencing with the April
-number.... C. L. Moore has pulled a "Clark Ashton Smith" and has drawn
-the illustration for her forthcoming yarn in WT "Julhui".... There will
-be no women on <i>Weird Tales'</i> covers for two consecutive issues this
-year, April and May!</p>
-
-<p><i>Dr. Death</i> is the title of the latest fantasy magazine to appear on
-the newsstands. It features a weird-scientific novel each month written
-by "Zorro," which is the pseudonym for Harold Ward. Rounding out the
-rest of the issue are three or four thrillers with a pseudo-scientific
-or weird background.... Donald Wandrei's latest Ivy Frost novelette,
-"They Could Not Kill Him," appears currently in <i>Clues</i>.... The April
-cover of <i>Weird Tales</i> will illustrate a scene in A. W. Bernal's
-"The Man Who was Two Men," and deals with an amazing development in
-radio after television.... Bernal, by the way, is a student in the
-University of California, and sold his first yarn, "The Man Who Played
-with Time," which appeared in March, 1932 WT at the early age of 15.</p>
-
-<p>Farnsworth Wright brings up an interesting point regarding titles of
-stories. Hardly a month goes by that does not bring at least one story
-titled "The House of Fear," another entitled "The House of Living
-Death," and another entitled "Hands of Death." The commonest title
-on manuscripts submitted is "Retribution," but stories with the word
-"House" in the title are almost as frequent. Of course, these titles
-are changed if the story is accepted, to avoid repeating the same
-title that has been used in the magazine before. "The House of the
-Living Dead," by Harold Ward, appeared in WT for March, 1932. Quinn's
-cover design story for the February, 1935 issue had the same title, in
-manuscript, but the title was changed to "The Web of Living Death."
-Harold Ward's cover design story for the March issue this year was
-originally titled "Hands of Death," but this was too similar to Quinn's
-tale title, "Hands of the Dead" in the current January issue, so the
-title of Ward's story was changed to "Clutching Hands of Death."</p>

-<h2>SUPERNATURAL HORROR IN LITERATURE</h2>
-
-<h3>by H. P. Lovecraft</h3>
-
-<p class="ph1">Part Sixteen</p>
-
-<p class="ph1">(copyright 1927 by W. Paul Cook)</p>
-
-<p class="ph1">VIII. The Weird Tradition in America</p>
-
-<p>The public for whom Poe wrote, though grossly unappreciative of his
-art, was by no means unaccustomed to the horrors with which he dealt.
-America, besides inheriting the usual dark folklore of Europe, had an
-additional fund of weird associations to draw upon; so that spectral
-legends had already been recognized as fruitful subject-matter for
-literature. Charles Brockden Brown had achieved phenomenal fame with
-his Radcliffian romances, and Washington Irving's lighter treatment
-of eerie themes had quickly become classic. This additional fund
-proceeded, as Paul Elmer Moore has pointed out, from the keen spiritual
-and theological interests of the first colonists, plus the strange
-and forbidding nature of the scene into which they were plunged, the
-vast and gloomy virgin forest in whose perpetual twilight all terrors
-might well lurk; the hordes of coppery Indians whose strange, saturnine
-visages and violent customs hinted strongly at traces of infernal
-origin; the free rein given under the influence of Puritan theocracy
-to all manner of notions respecting man's relation to the stern and
-vengeful God of the Calvinists, and to the sulphureous Adversary of
-that God, about whom so much was thundered in the pulpits each Sunday;
-and the morbid introspection developed by an isolated backwoods life
-devoid of normal amusements and of the recreational mood, harassed
-by commands for theological self-examination, keyed to unnatural
-emotional repression, and forming above all a mere grim struggle for
-survival&mdash;all these things conspired to produce an environment in
-which the black whisperings of sinister grandams were heard far beyond
-the chimney corner, and in which tales of witchcraft and unbelievable
-secret monstrosities lingered long after the dread days of the Salem
-nightmare.</p>
-
-<p>Poe represents the newer, more disillusioned, and more technically
-finished of the weird schools that rose out of this propitious milieu.
-Another school&mdash;the tradition of moral values, gentle restraint, and
-mild, leisurely phantasy tinged more or less with the whimsical&mdash;was
-represented by another famous, misunderstood, and lonely figure in
-American letters&mdash;the shy and sensitive Nathaniel Hawthorne, scion
-of antique Salem and great-grandson of one of the bloodiest of the
-old witchcraft judges. In Hawthorne we have none of the violence, the
-daring, the high colouring, the intense dramatic sense, the cosmic
-malignity, and the undivided and impersonal artistry of Poe. Here,
-instead, is a gentle soul cramped by the Puritanism of early New
-England; shadowed and wistful, and grieved at an unmoral universe
-which everywhere transcends the conventional patterns thought by our
-forefathers to represent divine and immutable law. Evil, a very real
-force to Hawthorne, appears on every hand as a lurking and conquering
-adversary; and the visible world becomes in his fancy a theater of
-infinite tragedy and woe, with unseen, half-existent influences
-hovering over it and through it, battling for supremacy and moulding
-the destinies of the hapless mortals who form its vain and self-deluded
-population. The heritage of American weirdness was his to a most
-intense degree, and he saw a dismal throng of vague spectres behind the
-common phenomena of life; but he was not disinterested enough to value
-impressions, sensations, and beauties of narration for their own sake.
-He must needs weave his phantasy into some quietly melancholy fabric
-of didactic or allegorical cast, in which his meekly resigned cynicism
-may display with naive moral appraisal the perfidy of a human race
-which he cannot cease to cherish and mourn despite his insight into
-its hypocrisy. Supernatural horror, then, is never a primary object
-with Hawthorne; though its impulses were so deeply woven into his
-personality that he cannot help suggesting it with the force of genius
-when he calls upon the unreal world to illustrate the pensive sermon he
-wishes to preach.</p>
-
-<p>Hawthorne's intimations of the weird, always gentle, elusive, and
-restrained, may be traced throughout his work. The mood that produced
-them found one delightful vent in the Teutonised retelling of classic
-myths for children contained in "A Wonder Book" and "Tanglewood
-Tales," and at other times exercised itself in casting a certain
-strangeness and intangible witchery or malevolence over events not
-meant to be actually supernatural; as in the macabre posthumous novel
-"Dr. Grimshawe's Secret," which invests with a peculiar sort of
-repulsion a house existing to this day in Salem, and abutting on the
-ancient Charter Street Ground. In "The Marble Faun," whose design was
-sketched out in an Italian villa reputed to be haunted, a tremendous
-background of genuine phantasy and mystery palpitates just beyond
-the common reader's sight; and glimpses of fabulous blood in mortal
-veins are hinted at during the course of a romance which cannot help
-being interesting despite the persistent incubus of moral allegory,
-anti-Popery propaganda, and a Puritan prudery which caused the late
-D. H. Lawrence to express a longing to treat the author in a highly
-undignified manner. "Septimius Felton," a posthumous novel whose idea
-was to have been elaborated and incorporated into the unfinished
-"Dolliver Romance," touches on the Elixir of Life in a more or less
-capable fashion; whilst the notes for a never-written tale to be called
-"The Ancestral Footstep," shows what Hawthorne would have done with an
-intensive treatment of an old English superstition&mdash;that of an ancient
-and accursed line whose members left footprints of blood as they
-walked&mdash;which appears incidentally in both "Septimius Felton" and "Dr.
-Grimshawe's Secret."</p>

-<h2>THE MONSTROSITY</h2>
-
-<p class="ph1">(A True Experience)</p>
-
-<h3>by Hoy Ping Pong</h3>
-
-<p class="ph1">(Apologies to Kenneth B. Pritchard)</p>
-
-<p>Many people have seen freaks and monsters, both in the circus and
-in their nightmares, especially after a gay night, but this which
-I tell of happened when I was cold sober, on a crispy winter night
-in the middle of July. (Don't laugh&mdash;this might have happened in
-Australia&mdash;Editor).</p>
-
-<p>I had returned from a party, and to be sure, I was half lit up, for I
-had dashed down several canters of buttermilk, but nevertheless, I was
-cold sober when I met the great adventure! I had just about reached
-home, when my sixth sense warned me that something was wrong. I looked
-about.</p>
-
-<p>The snow covered the ground several inches thick, but as far as I could
-see, not a single footprint marred the beauty of it. I even turned to
-look behind me, but could not see my own tracks. Too peaceful. I had a
-grim foreboding of something evil. For want of something better to do,
-I bent over and tied my shoelace. And then I saw it!</p>
-
-<p>For as I bent over, I caught a glimpse of a monstrous foot protruding
-from behind a nearby tree! Hastily, I assumed an innocent manner
-and straightened. I must not let the Thing know I had seen it!
-Nonchalantly, I lighted a Fizwig and blew smoke rings. And then it
-happened!</p>
-
-<p>For the monster stepped out from behind the tree and approached me! He
-was the strangest thing I had ever seen! All of six foot tall, four
-queer limbs protruding from his body, a round, shiny cranium perched
-upon what I took to be shoulders, and a mass of hanging brown stuff
-sticking to the cranium. He had on some queer dress of blue material,
-with shoulder straps on each side. I mumbled in fear and awaited his
-approach.</p>
-
-<p>For several seconds he surveyed me, and then, much to my absolute
-horror, he spoke. Spoke to me! My hair stood straight up in the air, my
-eyes rolled, and I fainted at those fearful words: "I say, old chap,
-could you direct me to the post office?"</p>

-<h2>A BEAM FROM THE SKY</h2>
-
-<p class="ph1">(A True Experience)</p>
-
-<h3>by Kenneth B. Pritchard</h3>
-
-<p>On Saturday evening, October 21, 1933, a strange thing was noted by two
-friends and myself.</p>
-
-<p>It was quite dark, for clouds were thick and hanging low in the sky.</p>
-
-<p>From out of the east there flashed a beam as of a searchlight questing
-thru the atmosphere. It shone at intervals of a few seconds. These
-intervals were irregular, and sometimes the beam would last longer than
-at others. Once, it lasted easily ten seconds, and probably more.</p>
-
-<p>At times this light seemed a reflection from the clouds; but then
-again, after the almost beam-like light had ceased, the light came
-directly from the clouds seemingly from someone in or above them!</p>
-
-<p>There are no really high places in my city (Pittsfield, Mass.) to shine
-a light from that position.</p>
-
-<p>Was it a search beam, a natural phenomena, or something from Beyond?</p>

-<p>"The Ghoul," British weird tale of the screen, disappeared from Los
-Angeles screens the day Forrest J. Ackerman arrived there, playing no
-theater during all the summer months he looked for it. The morning he
-left, it came on again!</p>
-
-<p>Jack Williamson is recuperating from an appendix operation and has done
-no writing for quite a while. He says: "&mdash;My drugged slumbers in the
-first few days after the operation bred some of the weirdest dreams
-yet, and I'm anxious to get back to writing".... When in Key West last
-winter, he and Edmond Hamilton had a few adventures such as capsizing a
-skiff out in the Atlantic and towing it behind them as they swam back
-to shore. Hamilton caught a monster jew fish.</p>
-
-<p>Wright has bought "The Cyclops of Xoatl," featuring Two-Gun Bart Leslie
-and his pursuit of a cannibal monster in Mexico. The tale is by
-E. Hoffmann Price and Otis Adelbert Kline.... The two are now planning
-a story of Burma, about leopard men.... Pierre d'Artois, Price's
-veteran swordsman, is more or less a picture of his old fencing-master
-of long ago during his academic days.... Price says about "Queen of the
-Lilin": I ploughed through a good deal of research in order to present
-Lilith authentically. A good deal of the Lilith lore had to be cut out
-in the interests of brevity, which I regretted, as I felt that some of
-the fans would enjoy a closer acquaintance with the fascinating Queen
-of Zemargad.</p>

-<h2>A WEIRD BOOK</h2>
-
-<h3>by P. J. Searles</h3>
-
-<p class="ph1">"Lost Horizon" by Hilton.</p>
-
-<p>Weird stories are so often bloody and gruesome that it is a delight
-to find one written in an urbane and restrained style. "Lost Horizon"
-tells of the stealing of a plane and its four passengers (two British
-consular agents, an American absconding banker, and an American
-missionary) during a tribal outbreak north of India and their
-intentional removal to a remote valley in Tibet where they find a
-semi-Christian and semi-Buddhist monastery, inhabited by a group of
-serene men and women who have achieved an indefinitely prolonged life.</p>
-
-<p>The main portion of the story concerns life in the monastery and
-the attempt by its head to persuade the few prisoners to remain
-there, exchanging a hurried, confused, and short life in so-called
-civilization for calm, peace, and longevity in Tibet. Naturally, and
-inevitably, the denouement is a tragedy, indirect, but poignant.</p>
-
-<p>Mr. Hilton is an urbane satirist (if that is not a contradiction of
-terms) who has produced a beautiful story, weird and unusual, but
-without the so-frequent accompaniment of vampires, ghosts, or the like.
-He writes delicately in a style reminiscent of Owens' "The Wind that
-Tramps the World." "Lost Horizon" is not for the blood-and-thunder
-reader; it has no "crashing suns," no "supernatural," no "unseen
-presences," no incredible "brain surgeons," no "werewolves," but it
-does have an unusual plot, weird in a faint and beautiful manner. For
-the not-too-hardened it will be a pleasure.</p>

-<p>Death is a dollar bill. A gust of wind swept a vagrant dollar bill into

-Onward it went. A man espied it. He ran for it. Stumbled. Ran on. He
-came to the end of the pier. Fell into the water. But he grasped the
-dollar bill. "I've got it!" he cried. And then he sank beneath the
-waves. Death is a dollar bill....</p>
-

-
-<p>Death is a dream. "Death, too, must be a dream," said the man in his

-<p class="ph1">(Series Eight)</p>
-
-<p>British science fiction, with the death of "Scoops," has just about
-gone pfft, to quote a New York columnist. The small four-cent magazines
-in the field do not run enough "science" fiction to make reading them
-worth your time.</p>
-
-<p>The "Triumph" is still running the "Invisible Charlie" series, and they
-get no better each time. The "Wizard" has come forth with the "Worms
-of Doom." It's the old idea of the gent with a world-conquering mania
-again. He lets loose strange worms upon the world, said worms capable
-of devouring steel. Of course, they devour the most popular buildings
-first of all. It's funny how the Eiffel Tower and the Empire State
-Building taste better than ordinary ones.</p>
-
-<p>"Amazing Stories" publishes a British Edition over there, so that
-helps somewhat. When questioned, "Wonder" and "Astounding" say that
-they don't publish such editions, but "Wonder" adds "as yet," so maybe
-someday....</p>

-
-<p>In the early days of science fiction when there were not many authors
-who wrote it and Amazing was chiefly a magazine of Verne-Wells-Poe
-reprints, Bob Olsen was writing and had a friend who thought he could
-too. Bob had two tales published in Amazing without mentioning the
-accomplishment to his friend who succeeded in having nothing accepted
-(he was not writing stf). Then, with the third story, Bob's name

-<h3>ALIER'S ALIBI<br />
-by Mortimer Weisinger</h3>
-
-<p>Years ago, when Hugo Gernsback's "Scientific Adventures of Baron
-Munchhausen" were appearing serially in the Electrical Experimenter,
-it occasionally transpired that an installment was omitted. At such
-intervals various ingenious excuses were offered to explain the
-missing chapters. Perhaps the gem of them all is the one which we are
-reproducing herewith, taken from a 1915 issue.</p>
-
-<p>"Baron Munchhausen, as will be noted, has failed to make his appearance
-this month. Urgent wireless telegrams to his chronologist-in-chief,
-the Hon. I. M. Alier, of Yankton, Mass., disclosed the fact that the
-venerable old gentleman had contracted a virulent case of Atmospheris
-Marsianis, which sometimes attacks Interplanetary travellers not
-acclimatized to the peculiar Martian air. Mr. Alier, however, states
-that Professor Flitternix, the Baron's companion, advises him that
-Munchhausen will be back on the job next month. Of course we're sorry,
-but what can we do?"</p>

-1.A. By reading or using any part of this Project Gutenberg&#8482;

-and accept all the terms of this license and intellectual property
-(trademark/copyright) agreement. If you do not agree to abide by all

-1.B. &#8220;Project Gutenberg&#8221; is a registered trademark. It may only be
-used on or associated in any way with an electronic work by people who
-agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. There are a few
-things that you can do with most Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works
-even without complying with the full terms of this agreement. See
-paragraph 1.C below. There are a lot of things you can do with Project
-Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works if you follow the terms of this
-agreement and help preserve free future access to Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-electronic works. See paragraph 1.E below.

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-1.C. The Project Gutenberg Literary Archive Foundation (&#8220;the
-Foundation&#8221; or PGLAF), owns a compilation copyright in the collection
-of Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works. Nearly all the individual
-works in the collection are in the public domain in the United
-States. If an individual work is unprotected by copyright law in the
-United States and you are located in the United States, we do not
-claim a right to prevent you from copying, distributing, performing,
-displaying or creating derivative works based on the work as long as
-all references to Project Gutenberg are removed. Of course, we hope
-that you will support the Project Gutenberg&#8482; mission of promoting
-free access to electronic works by freely sharing Project Gutenberg&#8482;
-works in compliance with the terms of this agreement for keeping the
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; name associated with the work. You can easily
-comply with the terms of this agreement by keeping this work in the
-same format with its attached full Project Gutenberg&#8482; License when
-you share it without charge with others.
-</div>
-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-1.D. The copyright laws of the place where you are located also govern
-what you can do with this work. Copyright laws in most countries are
-in a constant state of change. If you are outside the United States,
-check the laws of your country in addition to the terms of this
-agreement before downloading, copying, displaying, performing,
-distributing or creating derivative works based on this work or any
-other Project Gutenberg&#8482; work. The Foundation makes no
-representations concerning the copyright status of any work in any
-country other than the United States.

-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-Project Gutenberg&#8482; depends upon and cannot survive without widespread
-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

-($1 to $5,000) are particularly important to maintaining tax exempt

-
-<div style='display:block; margin:1em 0'>
-The Foundation is committed to complying with the laws regulating
-charities and charitable donations in all 50 states of the United

-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

-Section 5. General Information About Project Gutenberg&#8482; electronic works

-Professor Michael S. Hart was the originator of the Project

-Project Gutenberg&#8482; eBooks are often created from several printed
-editions, all of which are confirmed as not protected by copyright in
