The Critic" of June 18th announces

Stephen Crane, William Black, STAN
ley Weyman, Joseph Hatton, James
Lane Allen, Miss Seawell, Mrs. Ever
ard Cotes, Elizabeth Stuart Phelps,
Julian Hawthorne, F. ]. Stimson, Rob-
ert Buchanan and others. AS the ad-
vertisements also refer chiefly to new
novels, this number should be an ex-
cellent guide to summer reading. An
interesting feature is a photograph OF
Eugene Field, Bill Nye and James
Whitcomb Riley, grouped before cam
era, with Mr.. Field timing the exposure.
Bill Nye is hardly recognizable, be-
cause Of an unwonted mustache. The
group was taken only a few years since,

already departed.
G. P. Putnam's Sons have in publi-
cation Camping in the Canadian Rock

ton. Mr.. Wilcox has contributed several
papers in both English and American
magazines descriptive of explorations
in the Rocky Mountains. The present
volume treats of excursions and ex-
piorations in the country near Banff
and Lake Louise, also in the Selkirk
Range. The work, besides giving graph
ic descriptions of the adventures of Mr..
Wilcox and party during several years
of camp life in this picturesque region,
makes a comparison between the terri
tory described and other parts of the
Dominion and gives, in a general way,
the main features of the geology, bot
sny, fauna and climatic conditions of
the mountains. The work is hand

and illustrations in the text.
