Also, they talk about water molecules.

Tom-the-Atom is discovered living in a beautiful and large seashell on the beach at Half Moon Bay, south of San Francisco, CA. Henry and his sister Mary were walking with their father and with their dog, Bonita, on a nice warm day after school, one of those beautiful Indian Summer days in October. Henry and Mary brought the seashell they found to Henry’s room; where Tom-the-Atom, exiting the seashell, becomes an instant friend of Henry and Mary. Tom-the-Atom entices Henry and Mary to visit his world once a day after school, and he proposed to introduce them to his siblings and extended relatives who belong to the ten different families of Atoms (including his own family) as described in the “Periodic Table.” Tom-the-Atom introduces to Mary and Henry, his brothers, sisters, and cousins. Henry and Mary will learn a great deal from Tom-the-Atom. They will find out how everything alive and not-alive (organic and inorganic) in our Universe is made of tiny atoms, which, by shaking hands, form bonds among themselves to form molecules, compounds, and all small and large things. Book 1 only introduces to the reader Tom the Atom. In subsequent books, the readers will learn about the exciting world of atoms. By Book 22 you will be already an “expert” in chemistry! We advise the reader that they should read the books in numerical order.

Frank Harris' fictional account of the Haymarket Affair of 1886 focuses on Rudolph Schnaubelt, a German immigrant whose socialist background, discontent with his chosen country, and hatred for authority lead him to join the Chicago anarchists during the labor unrest of the 1880s. When strikes at the Pullman and McCormick plants and discontent among the stockyard employees and other workers throughout the city culminate in public demonstrations and riots which Chicago police attempt to control, it is Rudolph Schnaubelt who sets off a bomb killing eight policemen and injuring sixty people at a rally in Haymarket Square. The story is told in the first person, as seen through the eyes of Schnaubelt, who escapes to Bavaria where he watches closely the events which follow in the wake of his action. The Bomb is a depressing book on an ugly subject. Even an attempt by the author to relieve the demoralizing influence of the novel through the addition of a romantic sub-plot does little to alleviate the total starkness of the story and the writing. --Book Review Digest, 1909
