    • 3 · The Art of the Age · Anon. · cl; a regular feature on paintings.
    • 10 · Blowing Up the Enemy · Herbert C. Fyfe · ar; clearly no hopes for peace here! An article on mines.
    • 17 · Stories of Other Worlds: No. I—A Visit to the Moon [Honeymoon in Space] · George Griffith · ss; Griffith’s well know robinsonade around the solar system. This was why I was sure I had this volume somewhere, because I’ve had this series for over 30 years.
    • 31 · With the Red Cross on the Battlefield · Marcus Tindal · ar; related to the Boer War, which it’s easy to forget was raging 100 years ago.

    • 89 · Sophie Ettrick’s Adventure · Julian Ralph · ss; set in Canada in 1780.
