the heavier elements unless they are offset by excessive quantities of the lighter elements and compounds, or by the above mentioned hollow core. The crust of the planet may be composed of water, methane and/or ammonia. Since ammonia is much lighter than water, the presence of this compound in large quantities may account for the low density (average). While at a pressure of one atmosphere (earthly, 14.7 lbs. absolute) ammonia must have a temperature less than minus 28 F. to remain liquid, this does not hold true if the pressure of its own vapor upon it is increased. For instance, if the partial pressure of the ammonia vapor in Jupiter's atmosphere and at the surface of the planet is 147 lbs. absolute, ammonia may remain liquid when at a temperature of plus 75 F. In this case Jupiter's oceans could well be liquid ammonia, with ammonia rains similar to the water rains of earth.

WITH BELLS ON
Sirs:
In the last few issues of A.S. and F.A. you have featured novels and novelets. I like long stories. But I like short ones too. Now to August issue:
1. McCauley's work on the front cover wasn't so good. It looked more like a St. John cover.
2. The back cover by Settles was excellent.
3. The Vengeance of Martin Brand . . . 4 bells.
4. The Case of Jonathan Lane . . . 3 bells. I liked the unexpected end.
5. The Sheriff of Thorium Gulch . . . 2 bells. Could have been better.
6. Death Rides at Night . . . 3 bells.
7. The Last Hours . . . 3 bells.
8. Secret of the Earth Star . . . 4 bells. It tied with serial for action.
9. Into the Caves of Mars . . . 3 bells. A Pragnell story is always welcome.
10. Venusian Slave Smugglers . . . 1 bell. Very disappointing coming from an author of Powell's calibre.
11. Moon Madness . . . 2 bells.
12. Horsesense Hank in the Parallel Worlds . . . 2 bells. Not enough plot.
Well, I guess that's about it except for one thing. WHERE is Binder? And Wellman?

Binder? How about last issue? Holler "naff"?—Ed.
PANACEA!
Sirs:
I have been an ardent reader of Amazing Stories for 5 years. I like to read science-fiction because it is different.
I just finished reading the Sept. issue and I found that the stories presented were interesting, but they still can't compare with the stories of
