Instances like this of the cable-coil call up the vision of a new Frankenstein. The terror of the men on board the ship, helpless before the caprices of the huge drum, can be readily imagined even by those who have not read "Quatre-vingt-treize". The picture of man cowering before the creations of his own hand, which have grown beyond his control and turn to "plague the inventor," is a favorite spectra with a certain school of philosophers, and with alarmists in general. "R. U. R.", on the New York stage, is a fanciful prophecy of what...
President Faunce of Brown, who has just returned from Europe, says that the condition of Europe today is "brittle", that at any moment all Europe may break up in a configuration, where excesses worse than those of the Reign of Terror may sweep away our so-called modern civilization.
