The Moon Metal: Beyond World's Classics

Bys: Press, Beyond Words and Serviss, Garrett Putman

An interesting early science fiction story written by Garrett Putman Serviss. A mad scientist offers to help save the world economy with valuable metal. He claims that he mines this metal himself, but actually brings it from the moon. And yet, will metal be able to save the world economy from ruin?When the news came of the discovery of gold at the south pole, nobody suspected that the beginning had been reached of a new era in the world's history. The newsboys cried "Extra " as they had done a thousand times for murders, battles, fires, and Wall Street panics, but nobody was excited. In fact, the reports at first seemed so exaggerated and improbable that hardly anybody believed a word of them. Who could have been expected to credit a despatch, forwarded by cable from New Zealand, and signed by an unknown name, which contained such a statement as this: "A seam of gold which can be cut with a knife has been found within ten miles of the south pole.
