other Readers in
complaining that uneven edges make it hard to find a certain
page and also give the mag a cheap looking appearance.

In my opinion the two best serials you have printed are
"Brigands of the Moon" and "The Pirate Planet." The four
best novelettes are: "Marooned Under the Sea," "The
Fifth-Dimension Catapult," "Beyond the Vanishing Point" and
"Vagabonds of Space."--Eugene Bray, Campbell, Mo.

_How Simple!_

Dear Editor:

Just a few lines to set Mr. Greenfeld right on that question
of how a man could be disintegrated and then reintegrated as
two (or more) similar men.

Briefly, the atomic or molecular structure of the original
man could serve as a pattern to be set up in the
reintegrating machine or machines while he is being
dissolved by the disintegrating machine. Thus, the
reintegrators could reconstruct any number of similar men by
following the pattern of his molecular structure and drawing
on a prearranged supply of the basic elements.

As for the "soul," that is merely the manifestation of the
chemical combinations in the man's body, and when said
chemical combinations are duplicated, the "soul" simply
follows suit.--Joseph N. Mosleh, 4002 Sixth Ave., Brooklyn,
N. Y.

_Both in One Issue_

Dear Editor:

I think it's about time to let you know what I think of your
wonderful magazine. Of course, I have my dislikes but they
are very few. I wish you would make up your magazine larger
and even the pages up. The best complete novelettes I have
read were both in the same issue. They were "Monsters of
Mars," by Edmond Hamilton and "Four Miles Within," by
Anthony Gilmore. Wesso is by far your best artist. Please
keep him. All the other Science Fiction magazines have
quarterlies. Why don't you have one?

Good-by, and keep Astounding Stories up to its present
standard.--Frederick Morrison, Long Beach, Calif.

"_Good As Is_"

Dear Editor:

I have been reading your mag for about five months and I
like it very much. I don't see what those guys want a
quarterly for. This mag is good as it is and there is no use
to spoil it. Wesso is a swell artist, and the best story I
read was "The Wall of Death."

I'd like to get acquainted with some of your Readers. How
about it, boys?
