I think I like this newspaper. Its very second issue, from 1923, includes another article about the history of the dream of visiting moon, and announces that it would print Le livre d’histoires, récits scientifiques de l’oncle Paul à ses neveux by Jean-Henri Fabre on an installment basis.

It's a 'popular chemistry' kind of tale, once imagined as a chemistry textbook the same way that Selma Lagerlöf's Travels of Nils Holgersson would have been a geography textbook. The original book was written in 1869, though, just before chemistry became really interesting. But I like the spirit of it.
