who are bound for the new world, and
John Smith O. jamestown IL among
them. He has taken q fancy to Dick,
and Dick returns the feeling, so there
after they are chums. From this point
on through the book up to the very last
page the tale is entirely of John Smith
and his doings. All the tales OF history
and romance and fiction are cleverly
woven in, and one ships very little.
Perhaps one reason is that constantly
one hopes for more of the very spright-
ly romance with which the book begins.
Little enough of that romance is given
us-here and there word to remind us
that the author has not entirely forgot
ten. At the end he relents and tells us
the secret Of Mary's birth and straight
ems out the love affairs of all the peo-
pie involved in the story, so that one
closes the book quite content. 1t is
well written tale and the author has
caught the spirit Of the times OF which
he writes. Mr.. Kester is a cousin of

engineering at the University Of Cali
fornia, is called ''The Destructive Ex-
tent Of the California Earthquake. It's
Effect Upon Structures and Structural
Material Within the Earthquake Belt"
and was written especially for this
book. 1t is one of the most interesting
of all the articles, and some OF the fig
ures he gives are very surprising. He
says that "the important destruction to
engineering works occurred In belt
about 80 miles wide and nearly 500
miles IN length, extending along the
Pacific coast. withst the bay of San Fran
cisco as Its center"
The author was appointed upon the
California earthquake investigation
comWission by Governor Pardee inlme-
diately after the earthquake, and has
therefore had access to all the investi-
cation papers and information by his
brother members OF the commission. as
well as doing independent work. His
article will be found very interesting to
