NEW BOOKS FOR THE
HERALD JUNIOR READERS

What can be more attractive in the
way of reading for the young than
book of boys adventures based on the
most up-to-date of all themes, and by
Young Americas favorite author?
First at the North Pole" by Edward
Stratemeyer, is the story of two boy
heroes who in the Maine woods make
the acquaintance Of a wealthy hunter
and explorer, and persuade him to take
them on board his polar ship, In COM
pany with a scientist whom they also
know. and who pass through marvellous
experiences that result in the attain
ment of the very top OF the world
side by side with Cook and Peary. All
the practical details of polar eXplora-
tion are given, and the thrilling ro-
nance of the call of the North is
made evident. The book is also rich in
the history of great discoverers, and Is
profitable reading from that point or
view without impairing its wonderful
interest as a story.

in the Arctic Circle. BY Edward STRAIT
emeyer. illustrated by Charles NutNll.

The boys of today who are starting
out with their own way to make Will
enjoy reading John t. Faris' story OF
some other boys, who not only won
their own way but made it way
which led to great glory and success.
The time when biographical sketches
were merely dry statements of births,
accomplishments and more dates, gem
orally concluding with the date of the
PERSONS death, is long past. Today
writer's see the qualities, the character
istics and the mental ideals of those
men and women of whose life they

Mr.. Faris has incorporated a great
deal of lively reading in this book, in
which he sketches the development of
some forty-odd men of attainment.

Our Willie has the chlcken-pox,
But he's not very sick,
Cause when they give him medicine
He has the strength to kick.
His face Is full of polka dots,
And so the doctors say.
He has to take all kinds of pills
TO make them go away.
The neighbors often send ice cream,
And sometimes jelly, too,
And books to read, and toys and games.
And puzzles he can do.
Then 0nce he got some flowers
That they sent him in a box;
oh, dear, 1 wish with all my heart

GARDENS OF THE DEEP SEA
WANT to tell about a wonderful
garden deep down in the sea.


fornia is an island known as Cata-
lima island Just off the shore of this
island are what are known as the ma
rine gardens and there are glass-bot-
toned boats in which one may view
these gardens.
When we first started out we could
not see anything as the water is not
clear enough so close to land. But
little by little the water grew cleare"
and we began to see abalone shells
shining up from the bottom. Then We
came to some kelp and other kinds
of seaweed. A goldfish swan slowly
by, its bright body flashing in and out
among the green seaweed. We saw,
too, a small seaweed on which is
formed violet-colored substance.
These are known as sea violets and
are very beautiful Jagged rocks jut
up from the bottom and lying among
them may often be seen the form of
devil-fish or octopus. It's body Is the
color of the rocks on which is lies and
as the boat passes above, it glides
quickly away, it's many legs looking
like snakes as they wiggle over the
rocks.
At the next place the rocks extend
up so far that they nearly scrape the
bottom of the boat They sparkle in
many different colors and look as If
they are covered with gold and silver,
and everywhere are goldfish. On the
sides of another kind of fish are what
seem to be small blue lights. These
are electric fish. There is another
tiny fish whose body Is speckled and
it is also very beautiful 1 saw Shiny
looking thing clinging to the rocks,
which 1 was told was a sea cucumber.
its shape closely resembling that of
cucumber. The seaweed everywhere
is very beautiful. There is the emerald
which is exactly the color of emeralds,
and it waves slowly back and forth
with the motion of the water. The
kelp grows up like immense trees in
the ocean 1t is a greenish brown col
or and on it grow small balls filled
with air. 1t is these that keep ii float
ing. There are many other kinds of
seaweed, and every kind is beautiful.
At last we rounded an immense rock
towering up out of the water, just
off a small point, which by the action
of the water has become sharp and
ragged. This rock is called Sugar
Loaf, and at low tide one can some
times land upon it. A flight of steps
has been cut that visitors may climb
to it's top. While one is looking at
all of these things a fish may sudden
ly dart out Of the water, and using its
tail as a rudder glide along the sur
face for a little way and then soar up
into the water. After flying for
few minutes it drops back into the
water. This is a flying fish. 1t has
no wings, but its fins are larger than
those of ordinary fish. and as it darts
out of the water it spreads it's fins out
and they act as sails.

A party consisting of the two De

all of whom live in the foot hills near
the city, struck out across the foothills
last Sunday on their way to White
bird creek on fishing expedition and
on reaching point near Boulder
Creek discovered evidence of bear.
After some little investigation a big
black bear was discovered at the en-
trance of her den. Several shots from
a gun ended her life, and cub was
also killed by the party and another
one captured alive. The cub, which
was about eight months old was sold
to a Lewiston party by Mr.. Meyer for
a ten spot and the hides of the mother
and other cub will greatly increase the
revenue from this fishing expedition.
