The Rediscovered Country

Two white men pierce a tracklcss virgin
area of dense forest In German East
Africa, where the sound Of a gun has
never been heard and where no hunter
ever before set foot one Of these ex-
plorers. Stewart Edward White himself
chronicles the events Of this daring trip
into practically unknown land in his diary
which has been printed in book form as
"The Redlscovered Country" tDoubleday
Page 6 Co., Garden City, l.. L.
Mr.. White, who Is a naturalist OF great
ability. describes this unbeatCn country
I'm detail; the various tribes of people,
their manners and customs and the ami
mails. their haunts. habits and coloratIon.
Numerous camera pictures Illustrate
these and are splendidly reproduced.
The hunters experienced some thrilling
encounters with wild beasts, and more
than once the readers heart Is made TO
beat faster, such as when Mr.. White q
ready gun saved him from death when
he was attacked by an nfurated lion.
1t is book fraught with interest for the
general reader and containing in it's APP
pendices special, valuable information for
the hunter and seeker after special
knowledge.

Another ANONYMOUS Novel

The tide of anonymity Ia toward flood
again. After Basil King puzzled most
readers with THE Inner Shrine" came
multitude of books of concealed au-
thorship, concerning which the public be-
trayed absolutely no curiosity. Then,
season ago, Home" by George Agnew
Chamberlain. reached a considerable sue
cess through clever exploiting of the au-
thor's anonymity. Ergo, busy typewrit-
ers Of nameless authors began beating
out romances and rival publishers, fol-
lowing the lead of an achieved success,
began prnting of the marvellous quality OF
their respective anonymsts, each Of
course, the finest in anonymity.
The latest of them is the covert author
of "The Sea of God" CIeart's Interna-
tional Library Company, New York;
THE publishers are not permitted at
present to disclose the name of the au-
thor" Why? The author has nothing
to be ashamed of; the book is not so bad
as that The publishers certainly have
nothing very wonderful in reserve; the
book Is not good enough for that.
The story Is a good Craftsmanlike piece
of fiction. Characterization of the ten
derby reared Southern girl who is adrift
upon the seas of Cod" is well done,
Tho plot is rather routine, but nicely
adjusted The style is agreeable But
there is hardly an exceptional thing
about this anonymous romance.
