THE RED LEGION
129

think you know, but do you? Apollo. You know all about him. You are wrong. Apollo was a man who came from space, and he came to the American continent in the days when dinosaurs and similar gigantics made life hazardous for the red men. He came for the express purpose of eliminating the serpent race from earth to make way for his own experiments with beneficial rays in making over the race of men on earth toward his ideas of what men should be. That is one reason Apollo has remained as the epitome of masculine beauty the world over. That is what he was: the father of beauty in men. He made it so by moulding men over into his heart's desire. And to do it he held to take the whole world apart. The next story is going to be about Apollo; and it's plenty different from what the school books tell you of this "period. They all admit they don't know much about it, don't they. Well, we don't make that mistake. Our guess as to what happened is plenty close—corroborations prove.

Apollo is a mighty figure in Indian legend under many names. He came to the American continent; he wiped out the dinosaurs; he remade the race of men by treating the reproductive portions of their bodies with beneficial rays. By his science he changed the world. Where he came from we don't know, but we know what he did here pretty well. And it doesn't all come from Oahspe. There are many other sources of this view of Apollo.




MYSTERY OF THE DERO TYPESETTER!


Just to show you one of the almost incredible things that happened to the most snafu issue of Amazing Stories ever to "be put to bed," we are publishing below the first "galley" of mathematical equations received from the printer after a delay that made corrections almost impossible, and almost forced us to leave out the article "Unification of Newtonian and Einsteinian Mass Concepts" by Roger P. Graham, and "Is There an Ether Drift?" by the same author. If you'll compare them with the equations as they appear in the articles themselves, you will see the same amazing "mess" that we saw almost too late to do anything about it! How did this otherwise expert typesetter make hundreds of errors and not know it; and how did the errors get past the proof-readers? None of the persons involved have offered a satisfactory explanation! Can you?
