fessor Angelo Heilprin. who. 1t will be
remembered was the first man to get TO
the top OF. Mount Peiee after the erup-
ton, tells the detailed story OF his eN-
splorations. Professor Heilprin is one OF.
the foremost biologists in the country.
Ills narrative will be of the most abb
sorb1ng interest both to general readers
and to scientists, and his conclusions
concerning the real nature of the erup-
tons will probably be more fully corro-s
horated by the detailed Investigations OF
the French scientific commission now on
the spot than those of any other early
explorer The illustrations for the ar
ticles drawn by George Varian, who &C
companied the author on his second as
cent to the crater, are by far the best
yet pbllshed of Peiee In eruption. One

doubt furnish a background of special
interest for the paper by Mr.. Ray Stan

Range" the last OF his series on "The
Great Southwest in The Century for
August. Mr.. Baker has made a tho
rough study of the subject Of the cattle
industry. and of the sheep and cattle
wars on the western range, and partlcu-
larly OF the reckless waste by man In
dealing with the natural resources of the
Southwest. His paper will interest alike
those who know all about the subject, and
those who know nothing about it. Like
the other papers of this series. this one is
illustrated by Maxfeld Parrish. whose
drawings of the West have been pro-
nounced by westerners. in some respects,

gion ever made.
