Farsaci Come & drink of the vast unknown...the endless void no one has flown; let's leave these earthly points of view for these more pure & true. ~~ Out in space mid the starry skys we shall go where mystery lies. Countless worlds are gleaming ahead: Come! has your spirit fled?/ Tree's a Crowd (Dedicated to "Madge" & Forrest--Prime Evil!) by "Hollerbochen": I think that I shall never see...a thing so full of ansanity...as a "proactiv" publication--I think its name's IMAGINATION! --with words that look like old Chinese...instead I find it's Ackermanese! ~~ A magazine of "Crazy J's" that's edited in an endless maze of "shorthand words" allruntogether...& no one gives an O'Conor whether...they circulate it as they please--I think its name should be: "The Breeze"! ~~ Its covers[[?]] look like last year's hat...with rocketships both thin & fat ...cigarbutts flying over sundaes[[?]] & blue as everbody's Mondays. Ofttimes I wish I'd never seen what they call "our" Madge-azine!/ I pledg alegiance to U, "Madge", & to the IDEAS for wich U stand. One fanmag, i-n-i-m-i-t-a-b-l, I_n_s_p_i_r_a_t_i_o_n to all! -Morojo BK REVIEWS FROM ABROAD By Herbert Haeussler[[?]] (Original in deutsch; Esperanto résumé Anglicized by Paul Freehafer. EXPERIMENT IN THE UNIVERS, 3 vols by CVRock. First: It is rumord an American millionaire sponsor of fantastic technical problems is at present backing a tremendous plan to move Tero[[?]] to another place in our solar system--that is, first to correct the position of Tero's axis & 2dly to move planet [[?]] to sun[[?]] & so effect by the alterations greater warmth & constant climaticonditions everywhere on Tero. In Deutschland & also other lands people are very sceptical about this project because believe it certainly bodes no good for the planet itself. But the banker 1/2 crazed about the scheme does not hear the counciling voices & already has fixt the day when the great experiment is to begin. A deutsch engineer discovers a neway to disintegrate the atom & believes it to be the best way to construct a spaceship & conquer the void. He too has heard of the project & realizes it signifys the end of nearly all mankind. But because he knows he cannot help he intends to build a huge spaceship & take with him an equal number of men & women & also seeds of various grains &c. However he does not know whether he will be able to return to Tero after the project. & he succeeds. At the last minute before the beginning he is able to reach space & from the gigantic rocket they watch as Tero leaves the place it has occupyd for countless ages. But over the radio they also hear the SOS signals of shops & land stations which tell of terrifying tidal waves. After shortime even these last signals end because severe electrical energys make further clear hearing impossible. Only Lune[[?]] remains in its former position & rotates same as before. Suddenly they discover others have succeeded in escaping. They beheld another, even larger, rocket, which signals for help. The occupants are found to be mainly Mojicanos who thot (& ritely so!) they'd be safer in a rocket than remaining on Tero. Inspection of Tero reveals it a ruined world. The rocketeers decide to seek a 2d homeland on nabor Venus ...where their amazing adventures will be related next month i "The Flaming Towers".
