Suffice it to say that the former were of three types--those which propelled the ship through the air and those which propelled it through ether, the latter of course represented our most important equipment, and consisted of powerful multiple-exhaust separators which isolated the true Barsoomian Eighth Ray in great quantities, and, by exhausting it rapidly earthward, propelled the vessel toward Mars.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
