that this phenomenon is due to cor

the sun to the earth. These corpuscles
are doubtless electrons which are

beautiful book, Field, Forest and

of years ago. 1t is a worthy seCNel
to the beautiful work that was first
issued and while not bound so hand
somely, the subject matter, if any
thing, is an improvement.

unique and in a class by themselves.

Six O'clock Dinner.

One of the most enjoyable events
of last week was the six O'Clock
course dinner given Saturday evening
in the domestic science rooms at
the High school, by the second year
domestic science class, under the di-
rection of their supervisor, Miss Nc
Pheeters, complimenting the members
of the board of education, the super
intendent of the city schools, the High
school principal, and their wives.
The affair was one perfect in its
appointments and so complete in ev-
cry detail that the members of the
class and their supervisor deserve
the most complimentary mention pos
sible for their efficiency.

department are valuable additions to
any library. They do not deal at any
length with the expenditures and re-
ceipts of the department, but are
rather catalogue of the outdoor
! things that are to be found in okla
/ homa.
1t is doubtful if such work could
be prepared by any other than Fred
Barde. For many years journalist
actively engaged in burning up tele-
graph tolls and recording the daily
history of old Oklahoma Territory in
one of the largest and best news
papers in the United States. Mr..
Barde took the time to make a COM
prehensiyc study Of the rich deposits
that nature made in Oklahoma. He
has famil!arized himself with every
flower and shrub that is native to
Oklahoma and knows the secrets Of
the the-way places.
III ldltNL NbluIut ubl Only utdlS
with the wild game and fish, but with
the wild flowers that bloom and fade
scarcely noticed by the average being
for whom they bloom A number of
unusual photographs taken by Mr.
Barde are made into wonderful cuts
Especially beautiful and odd is a
photograph of a brown thrasher's |
nest Another is a close view of a |
group of wild plum blossoms. Every |
photograph in the book is not only |
the highest type of the art, but the
exposure was always focused on some
wonderful, unique and singuarly |
beautiful thing.
In the course of an eloquent plea |
for the saving of natures contribu-
tions to Oklahoma Mr. Barde says;
Especially is outdoors delightful
to children. They ask no questions,
PROFOUND no riddles but welcome joy |
ously every sound and object that fill
the day For their simplicity nature
abundantly and affectionately re
wards children. Childhood memories
of outdoors are perhaps best of all;
they linger throughout the years be
coming little windows though which
streams the sunshine of youthful
days. For the children alone II is
worth while to save the flowers ard
birds and fish and four footed Wild
creatures of Oklahoma"
The purpose of the book just is
sued is to further emphasize the
theory developed in the original pub
lication that the wild life of Oklaho-
ma is fast being eXterminated by
useless slaughter and lax enforcement
of the laws that do exist. The entire
theme of the book is an appeal to the
nature-loving instincts of those who
go into the open place to appreciate
the things that nature has stored for
them and not to destroy them need
lessly. 1t is to be regretted that the
work that Mr.. Barde has started in
Oklahoma did not originate some
years ago and that the sentiment is
not better developed. If the senti-
ments of his book had been sufficient
ly rooted in the minds of those who
have had it in their power to prevent
the waste of wild life, Oklahoma
would yet have many animate evil
1ences of natures kindness rather ,
han countless memories. Cherokee I
