OTHER WORLDS.

Their Nature and Possibilities in the Light of the Latest
Discoveries. Illustrated. 12mo. Cloth, $1.20 net; postage
additional.

No science has ever equaled astronomy in its appeal to the
imagination, and recently popular interest in the wonders of the
starry heavens has been stimulated by surprising discoveries and
imaginary discoveries, as well as by a marked tendency of writers
of fiction to include other worlds and their possible inhabitants
within the field of romance.

Mr. Serviss's new book on "Other Worlds, their Nature and
Possibilities in the Light of the Latest Discoveries," summarizes
what is known. With helpful illustrations, the most interesting
facts about the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, etc., as well
as about the nearest of all other worlds, the moon, are presented
in a popular manner, and always from the point of view of human
interest--a point that is too seldom taken by writers on science.
