THE MAGAZINES

A most attractive feature of the August
Century is F. W. Stokes IAN Artist in the
Antarctic, which is, illustrated from
paintings from the artists own skilIful
hand. Such reproductions of antarctic
scenery have never been brought from that
region before. 1t is a region of gloom, and
yet full of gorgeous contrasts Of color,
turquoise cobalt blue; snow mantles of
delicate white-yellow chrome; cold gray
green; coruscations Of silvery and lilac
pink; blue, and shimmering gold Of the
sun; towering. glaciers flooded with pale
pearlish gold. Mr.. Stokes has the instinct
of a poet and his pictures and descriptions
give better idea of the antarctic scenery
than has yet been conveyed. The ship
penetrated within the antarctic circle. The
fullpage antarctic sunset is a vision Of
color to be remembered. r. S. Baker

Yellowstone Park is a great feature and
Professor Winchesters ''Wesley's Days Of
Triumph" illustrated, Interestingly des-

movement to reach the masses with the
gospel, with definite dissenting organiza-

lish churchman himself. His movement
for evangelization went beyond his orig
inal program. There is an. attractive
illustrated paper by Mr.. Gleason in IAN

Lhasa, the forbidden City, Of the Tiber-
ton Dalai-Louna, is given. derived from
the courageous journey Of Ushe Narzunof
a Monaghan with kodak, who secured
many views on forbidden ground. A valu-
able paper Is Alice G. FaloWs account Of
the campaign for pure milk in New York
City, illustrated showing that If people
enter boldly and intelligently on such re-
form, they can get what they want. The

Mrs Hughes. The fiction is enriched by a
humorous contribution by George WATSON,
who relates some more of the sayings at
