“ All the rest is the stuff of dreams—ghastly eruptions of whole towns, grinning faces swept away before our eyes, all humanity a great unexploded mass, awaiting only the contact of “Krakatit” to be blown into nothingness.

This work is in the public domain in the United States because it was published in 1925, before the cutoff of January 1, 1929. ”
