MINNESOTA'S GEOGRAPHY
First Volume of Prof. Weber s
Work Is Published.

r Professor Christopher Weber of the
university has just published the first
volume of his work on the geography and
geology of Minnesota. It is the first book
of the kind ever written and is intended
for use in the upper grades and high
schools. Accordingly, it is written in a
very simple style, and yet is comprehen-
sive. 1t treats only Of conditions within
the state boundaries, but the author says
that what is true Of Minnesota is generally
true of the entire middle west. The first
volume is merely an exhaustive physical
geography of the state, and the two vol
umes to follow will treat of the economic
value of the northern lakes and forests,
and will be for use in colleges.
The chief feature of the work is the
collection of excellent illustrations, which
were furnished by Professor Macmillan,
.botanist. Professor Nachtrieb. biologist,
and by 6. S. Hubbard of the state geologi-
cal society. Much of the work explaining
