Rock OF the Royal Blue.

The Rock of the Royal Blue for
August is a midsummer pum Der, and
does homage to that lazy month
through several clever contributions
from some of the most prominent
Newspaper Humorists OF the United
States-W. D. Nesbit, of Chicago,
Lowell Otus Reese, of San Francisco,
and S. w. Gillian, of Baltimore, the
Finnigin Flanagan Man.
Mr.. Reese also has an article 10
prose, entitled "The Wandering
Shade" most clever story on New
York. Mr. E. A. Oliver, OF Yonkers,
the father of the paragraph joke, has
breezy sketch 10 verse entitled 1.-The
Fragrant Memory Mr.. Willis Leon
ard Clanahan, OF St. Louis, writes one
on "Sappho." Mr.. Eyard Jack APP
pleton, OF Cincinnati, tells good
story about 'sThe Accommodating
Man"
The book opens with that most pop
ular August theme for this year, "The
International Cup Races" giving a
full length portrait of Mr.. Upton as
the frontispiece. The article is also
illustrated with photographs of Sham
rock III, Reliance and Constitution.
Another interesting article is that on
1.-The Making OF Pope, by Mr.. G..
W. Iaini, of Baltimore The infor-
nation contained Ia this article is
authentic, from official sources, and is
complete in deuall.
The Book of the Royal Blue, when
it came out last May with contribu-
tions from all of the well known HUI
morists Of the United States, reached
the pinnacle OF good magazine litera-
ture. Not only are its contents Of the
highest standard, but it is one of the
most beautiful little magazines pub
lished. 1t set the pace for railroad
magazine literature 10 September,
1897, and has been followed by var
ious similar publications. A unique
feature of It's advertising pages is, that
its entire space Of fly leaves used for
that purpose, is devoted entirely to
one subject, i. e., The Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad AMI the Royal Blue
Line. The yearly subscription list
has rapidly increased day by day. and
back numbers are almost an impossi-
bilitY to get. The Book is sold for
five cents per copy, or mailed to any
address for fifty cents per year, on ap-

Steamer Sinks In Canal.

Indianapolis, Aug. 24.-The pleasure
steamer Indiana went to the bottom
of the indianapolis Water company's
canal at Fairview park. The park of
ficials think nobody was drowned, but
some OF the passengers assert that
they saw woman with baby sink to
the bottom and feel sure they were
drowned. About so people were on
board when the vessel sank, about
threequarters of a mile above its
starting point in the canal which is
about eight miles long and runs from
Indianapolis to Broad Ripple park.

Nj Carroll was i~ntently studying the
Dutch names of the different COURSES on

patriotic air. He got TO his feet with
the rest. still doping ort the menu. But
before half a dozen bars a been
played he sat down 80 that he could bet
ter endeavor to make out the strange
words. He was 80 absorbed in that
way that he was entirely oblivious of the
necessities OF the situation until he felt
the curious gaze of several hundred
aye upon him, Then he got to his feet
on the jump.

TREES IN A NOVEL.
Hundreds Are Fened 10 Furnish Pa
per Material for story That
Has Good sale.

The hood Of novels which has inces-
sanity poured ia upon us of late years
more than ever emphasizes the truism
that of the making Of books there is
no end. 4 decade ago it was the So
called Psychological novel; that en-
thralled us; now il is the judiciously
advertised historical novel that holds
our rapt attention Through the in
genious refinemeats Of modern adver-
tising the sales of fiction have been
increased so prodigiously that a novel
can hardly be called q success" unless
Il has been sold TO the extent Of 100000
copies. says the Scientific American.
The newspaper tales of the enor-
nous editions Of historical novels are
by no means as fantastic as they may
read. a list carefully compiled from
publishers returns which are abso-
lutely without reproach, shows that
the sales o1 nine recently published
novels have reached astounding pro-
portions. OF one book, over 100000
copies have been sold. Another is in
its 325,oOo. Less successful books have
attained only a paltry sale of 100000,
while few minor ones hardly exceed
disappointing $4,000.
II is not our purpose TO dilate upon
the relative merits Of these volumes
Of fiction, but simply to show what it
costs to satisfy the public appetite for
tales of wild adventure.
Books are made Of paper. Paper in
turn is made Of celllilose. Of which the
chief source of supply is timber. In
order to describe the romantic career
Of seventeenth century gentleman
ST the fapier, il is necessary. to fell a
few hundred trees; the publication Of
many narratives in which the exploits
Of other cavaliers are dwelt on may
therefore entail the destruction Of a
forest.
The nine novels tdayhich we have re-
ferred had a total sale Of over /. .60o. 600
copies Since the average weight of
each book sold was probably 20 ounces,
little calculation viii prove that
these ], coo coo books contained approx
imately 100000 pounds Of paper. We
are assured by a manufacturer Of pa
per that the average spruce tree yields
a little less than half a cord Of wood,
which IS equivalent to about 500 pounds
Of paper. In other words. these nine
novels swept away 1000 trees. and they
form but a small part Of the fiction
SO eagerly read by the American pub
lic Some books arc worth more than
1000 trees. What may be the tree
value Of the modern historical novel
It is not within o. oeKince to decide.
