THE JANUARY WIDE WORLD
MAGAZINE.

A number of startling articles ap-
pear in this months Wide World
Magazine one of the most striking,
perhaps, being by resident of Queens
land who describes how he and his
companions INDUCED in ''turtle-rid-
ing" which he assures us is a most
novel and exhilarating sport. The re-
-markable photographs which accom-
pany the article clearly substantiate
his statements. "Adrift on the Ice
Foes" relates how two Lake Huron
fishermen were driven out to sea on
an ice-fioe, and for so hours battled
for life while brave men fought des-
perately to reach and rescue them.
Other good stories and articles are
"The 'Wedding-Week' at Pontivy,"
Through the Wilds of Asia" Noun
taineering Mishaps" and Fighting the
Rabbit in Western Australia" The
contributors to this remarkable maya
zine include army and navy officers,
missionaries, travellers, explorers and
in fact every class of person who goes
into the world and sees things. The
Photographic Illustrations are as won.
derful and instructive as the text.

remarkable stories. There is one

humorous western story, That Rea-
sonable Roderick," and Edwin Balmer
a stirring love story, entitled The
Diplomat" John A. Moroso's lover
hand Callahan" is a detective story
with real thrills, while Frederick R.
Bechdolt's Independent of Man" is a
tale of a woman's love fight for gold
in Alaska w. Carey Wonderley, whose
stories of theatrical life have won him
a name, turns his attention to steno-
graphers in "The Tin-Pan Grille.
There are other stories by Eugene 7.
