"Can there be anything too horrible for the enemies of the Fatherland?" said the Kaiser to the pale Chancellor, with a glint in his eyes which no man in Germany cares to see.
"I must ask pardon," replied the Chancellor. "I was astonished, indeed, almost . . . frightened, if your Majesty will allow me to say so -- frightened for the sake of Humanity, if such an awful invention as that becomes realized "
"And what is your opinion, Field Marshal?" asked the Kaiser.
"A most excellent invention, your Majesty," said the Field Marshal, "provided that it belongs "only" to the Fatherland."...

This lighthearted book is about enjoying music and why, when and how birds sing, migrate, make love and have the earliest music skills. It is a story of our fellow creatures such as the Yellow-rumped Warbler and the Snowbird found in the woodlands, wetlands and backyards of Nevada. This little volume, enhanced by cartoons will inform and amuse the naturalist and music lover. What makes this so delightful is its quaint humor combining music, birds and Nevada, a subject readily intelligible to even those unfamiliar with musical birds of the silver state.

This is a historical horror story about a mummy, the type of story that was popular in the early 20th century. Here's an excerpt from the beginning: "Certain it should be that, beyond and about this World of Length, and Breadth, and Thickness, there is another World, or State of Existence, consisting of these and another dimension of which only those beings who are privileged to enter or dwell in it can have any conception. Now, if this postulate be granted, it follows that a dweller in this State would be freed from those conditions of Time and Space which bind those beings who are confined...
