DEATH on other planets.
by Roderick Gaetz
This month we start a new feature.This is it,and for the first one we take up the method of illimation on Mars.
At a veryearly time the Martians got up to a very high point of perfection.Their scientists had everything under remote control.
As a matter of fact all the war macheens were so efficent that in no time at all the people were killed off and the only thing s left of this once very intellectual race are a few of the robot control rocket ships still blasting one another to bits.
