LesIie's Weekly.

The first photographs taken showing the terribly destructive power of the Japa- nese guns in the recent battle of the Sea of Japan-the greatest naval action Of modern times-are reproduced in the cur rent number of Leslie's Weekly. They present various views of three Russian cruisers which fled from the fight in a badly battered condition and sought refuge in Manila Bay, where they are in- termed under American protection. Other war pictures of interest are the drawing by a Japanese officer on the front. repre- senting Russian soldiers making inhuman sport of wounded Japanese prisoners; and photographs of typical localities in the island of Sakhalin, the first Russian terri tory acquired by Japan Additional il- lustrations of note comprise features of the late great gathering of Christian En- deavors at Baltimore; picture of the meeting of the National Educational as sociation at Ocean Grove, N. J., at which President Roosevelt was prominent figure; a page of drawings by H. Daugh- erty recording scenes during a hot wave in the slums of New York; an amateur prize and news photo prize contest each remarkably attractive; and page of excellent sporting views. Among other good things, the letterpress contains an article by United States Senator Stephen p. i-ifNiiis oA Ncst NHSAlid, on tne trans portation of explosives: an account by Gilson Willets of the Americanization of English society with a page of portraits of American women who rank high in Englands aristocratic circles}; Home and Household papers by Harriet 'Quimby; and story by John Matthews of gold-seekfng in Nevada.

were thoroughly characteristic of John Stevens. For this reason and because he IS a thorough disciplinarian as well as a thoroughly capable and experienced engl- neer, l know him to be just the man to plan the superintendent the digging of the big ditch
 But had it not been for the rowling of a dog in the s, mountains in British Columbia twenty-five years ago, John Stevens would not have gone to Panama this week Lost in the wilds, travelling on snow shoes with mad man Tor a companion. he would have perished from exposure and starvation. At that time MT. Stevens was assistant division superintendent of the Canadian Pacitic' As such he assisted in the location of the road which crosses the Sellsirk moun- tain range between the parks of S. Don ala and Glacier House, at an altitude of 4300 feet.
 Winter had set in severely. The snow was six feet deep, and the engineers and workmen in advance of the track laying gang had established quarters 100 miles rom exposure and starvation. Stevens, an expert at travelling that way, set out on snow shoes for the nearest settlement, accompanied by a laborer. He told me himself of his thrilling experience on that trip The two men carried pack of pro- visions that would have been sufficient to supply their wants on that long cold, lonesome, perilous journey had they not lost their bearings out there in that great white waste. Their provisions became ex- hausted and they were without food for two or three days Stevens assistant be- came delirious and desperate on account or exposure and hunger. But they kept moving and for salty Stevens compelled the temporarily ~emented man to travel ahead of nm. Suddenly Stevens stop- ped I hear dog bark, said he. Nav, ye don't hear no dog bark growled the man in the lead, and trudged on.
 Y es, do hear a dog bark insisted stevens, stopping again to listen Nav, ye don't hear no dog bark; what in h--ll would dog be doin' out here? came back the gruff answer and question in one breath. Stevens convinced that he was right. half carried and half pushed his unwilling assistant along, and finally in tercepted pack train which, supplied them with food and shelter, and they soon reached civilization"
 Judge kinkade believes as Napoleon once said Any man can take advan- tage Of circumstances, but it takes a man or genius to create the circumstances.
 -And Stevens Is a man who will create suitable circumstances if not satisfied With those surrounuing him.

In ''The Triumphant Eastward Progress of Alfalfa E. V.

The Garden Magazine.

The Garden Magazine for August is de- voted entirely to the subject of Ever greens" and is superbly illustrated with over sixty half-tone plates.
 Every phase of the Evergreen question for the American climate Is presented in the August number of the Garden Nigga zine. August is the one month of the year when these plants can be moved with a certainty of success. The maga- zine tells us in most convincing man ner just what species to plant for all situations and purposes. The Culture of Evergreens" convincingly summarizes very valuable facts. ''Evergreens for Every Place and Purpose" is compila- ton of planting lists by the foremost ex- pert planters of the country. Those who would add to the comfort and beauty of the country home, will find abundant in formation in "E,yergreens for Windbreaks and Screens," while for formal gardens and in conventional situations the neces- sary information Is found in Some In teresting Small Conifers" and Ever greens for Formal Situations. The Best Spruces' is popular review of this im- portant family and the truth about the puzzling retinospora Is told in the Japan Expresses" Evergreens other than coni- fers are also discussed at length, and an expert writes on How Big Trees Are Successfully Moved" Other matters of momentary interest are How to Save a Whole Year on Strawberries by planting in August, and an interesting article on the Dracenas of California; rReplanting of Bulbs in August and How to Get Hyacinths in Flower for Christmas.

The Reader.

Out of all the expectations of John Hay that have appeared since the death of that distinguished statesman, none has been truer or more sympathetic than the brief editorial in the Reader Magazine for August. It Is accompanied by an ex- cellent and hitherto unpublished pho graph of MT. Hay.
 The August number of The Reader is, principally a fiction number. Meredith Nicholsons House of a Thousand Can dles' progresses in interests in its third installment, and is more than fulfilling every promise made for it. Paul kester, who probably knows more about the real gypsy than any living writer, contributes the opening story, Gone to the Dogs which is beautifully Illustrated in tint by Will Vawter The Healing of Harcourt is the title of an Arizona story by Will liam Macleod Raine. for which Iris M Andrews has made typical full-page H. lustration. Other fiction is:: "The Life Elixis of Marthy," by Elizabeth Hyer Neff, with illustrations by Walter Gal laway; What Measure Ye Mete," by Paxton Hibben, illustrated by Clyde Squires; 'Ruthers, by Clara k. Laugh lin.
 A feature that is more than ordinarily attractive is called "The Day They Cele- brate." 1t is an illustrated description of the prlnclpal events or commencement week at Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Leland Stanford Jr. universities, written by George P. Baker, Emerson G. Fay Tor. Jesse Lynch Williams and Raymond M. Alden.
 There are two amusing articles written in vein for summer reading, one being The stunt of the News Stand" a liter ary vaudeville by Frank Crane. and the other ''The Shelving of Sherlock" by Vivian Burnett
 Captain Harry Graham, who is soon to wed Miss Ethel Barrymore, has a hu- morous poem on Robert Burns" which is illustrated by Franklin Booth. Poems by Clarissa Gartrell, Charles Hamilton Mussrove, Douglas M. Moffatt. James Whitcomb Riley, Louis Chandler Moul- ton and Robert Truslow help to make the August number of The Reader one of the very best of the current periodicals.

It is nearly year since any American magazine has been fortunate enough to secure story from Kipling; but the August Century prints tale. An Habi- tation Enforced" which gives up Kipling at his best. Someone, in comparing Kip ling with the old. three-volume novelist. has said that he gives us 'the Liebig ex. tract of those cattle lowing on thousand hills, so here, where two Americans, a nervously broken millionaire and his wife. take up enforced habitation in an en- chanted corner of England, he contrives to give quintessence of American and British civilization-a commentary in brief, with vstas such as only Kipling can open up A delightful vein of satire crops out wherever the British way and che American way meet vein which Will charm readers on both sides the At lantic. Most readers. too. will find in this latest story of the greatest of living Eng llsh story-wrters the spiritual touch which was so strongly manifest in higher phase of development in man and higher phase of development in man and writer
 Especially timely articles in the August Century are The Spirit of School and College Sport-American and English Rowing by Ralph D. Paine; Alpine Climbing in Automobles,'' by Sterling Heilig; and The American Circus" by E. .. liallock. MT.
