This highly instructive and splendid
lv illustrated volume is a record of a
recent journey around the world by
Rev. Francis f. Clark, d. D., Presi-

Endeayor, and Lis VIE Throughout
the long journey, which occupied more
than year, and covered more than
fifty thousand miles by sea and land
they enJoved rare opportunities for OBJ
servation and study. 1t is one of the
most valuable books ever issued by the
American press.
The reader is personally educated
through Australia, India, China, Japan,
Egypt, Palestine, and many other
lands. We see these countries through
American eyes, and Obtain perfectly
clear view of them and their people,
supplemented by two hundred and
twenty splendid illustrations from
photographs, most Of which were taken
by Mr.. Clark himself; for he carried a
complete photographic outfit with him.
Mr.. Clark was one of the last Amerl-
cans to travel through China and Japan
before the war between these countries
had begun. In this rare volume he
gives us the latest and best insight into
the daily life Of a Chinaman in his own
country; his favorite food and odd dish
es, opium tiends and their WAYS; the
public execution of criminals: Chinese
farms and farming; the seamv side of
Chinese life, Japanese acrobates and
their wonderful performances; japanese
life, queer customs, art, wonderful skill
etc, the burning CHATS of India, where
the bodies of the dead are consumed
on hugh piles of wood "a ceremony DR..
Clark witnessed) the Towers of Silence
where the dead are exposed to be de-
youred by thousands of waiting vultures
that constantly sit on the walls: wonder
full native jugglers fearless snake charm
ers and fdkirs-these are but a few of
hundreds of interesting topics pre-
scented.
Their route led across the land that
Joseph gave to his father and brethren
past the very field where the Isrealites
made bricks without straw, and along
the highways where once rolled the
chariots of the Pharaohs. The story Of
the discovery of the mummy of the
Pharaoh who oppressed the children
of Israel, is wonderfully interesting
1t was found among those of forty other
mummles of kings, queens, and princes
IN the royal mortuary chamber in the
Theban Hills, and the Identification Of
Pearaoh is complecte. Illustrations
from photographs shows where the
mummy was found, and other
give full length, profile, and
front views of this ancient king who
was contemporary with Moses and
relgned in Bible times, thus enabling
all to see Gust how Pharaoh looked"
A journey was made of hundreds OF
miles in an old spring wagon acros.
Turkey and Armenia, through an un
known country, infested by robbers
and hostile natives, the scene of the
horrible massacres of Americans by
Turks and hhurds, DR.. Clark was the
last Christian to travel over these coun-
tries before these terrible massacre wer,
perpetrated. The story of this peril
Gus trip is full of thrilling interest an,
exciting adventures.
