This is the seventh issue of Practical Electrics from June 1922. The cover art is titled “A Viole(n)t Ray.” Practical Electrics was later renamed The Experimenter and later again, in 1926, it became the landmark magazine Amazing Stories, widely considered to be the first science fiction magazine. Publisher Hugo Gernsback coined the term “scientific fiction” and today the World Science Fiction Convention annually awards the Hugos for best science fiction writing, so-named in honor of Gernsback pioneering the genre.
