Fertile Field for Fiction
Ever since the idea of Mars as a world of intelligent beings has held men's minds the fiction monger has been busy with the theme. Jules Verne was one of the pioneers with his colossal fiasco concerning "Hector Servidac." Verne, with his unusually keen faculty for dressing up scientific data in a fantastic dress, has been followed lately by H. G. Wells. Wells' novels have such a scientific solidarity about them that, unlike Verne's, scientists "cry for them."
(The San Francisco Call, August 18, 1907)
