A THRILLING SCIENTIFIC ROMANCE. 



" An immense display of resource and knowledge OH the part of tin- author . . . 

 the adventures and discoveries are well worth following."'/'/, 



"Mr. Mast in manages to make his talc absorbing at all points, the interest never 

 slackens, his imagination never fails. The suggestions opened out are numerous and 

 appaling. Some of the discussions are on very deep subjects, and though they do not 

 lead us far, and are hardly as illuminating as the utterances of poets, they .ire put 

 down soberly and in a convincing manner, which shows that the author takes his work
