| is. from one point of view. the first
hand account of a country whose natu-
raj features are remarkable for their
boldness and beauty. 1t is, besides, the
picture of region that is in any gen.
eral sense but little known. From the
second standpoint, it is the report of
an intimate experience with one of the
great naturalists and nature lovers
of America. From both stands the
book makes strong appeal. These are
graphic records, trimming with admi-
ration and enthusiasm. The wonderful
country appears to have gotten into the
blood of this explorer. Without doubt
his incompatible companion and guide
had much to do with this process. The

NF1HE black walnut is the war tree
of the United States. and it
would be safe to say it is the war
tree of the world. For a great many
years, and no one can say just how
many, the black walnut tree has been
helping soldiers to fight the wars of
the world and such a martial old tree
is the walnut, and SO fond of CORY fields
and bloody campaigns is it. that it
fights on both sides. The American wal
nut tree is today the companion and
the solace of millions of soldiers in
Europe. and the walnut tree is going
into the hands of millions of men who
are being made ready for the strife.
The black walnut has been a most
patriotic American tree. but. the axman
and the sawmill have imposed upon its
patriotism to such an extent that it has
been sadly thinned out, and is now
threatened virtually with extermina-
ton.
The black walnut has done it's duty
by the American colonies and the
American republic in many ways. So
little was it once esteemed that it was
used for fence rails. house timber and
firewood. Cabinetmakers and carpen-
tiers appreciated it's grain, it's suecepti-
bility to polish, and its other virtues,
and it soon became popular as a furni-
ture wood. Its popularity in that sphere
Of usefulness declined, but Of late there
has been certain signs that, because 1t
has grown scarce and somewhat cost
Iy. it is returning to favor as furni-
ture wood.

romance of swift movement and null
titude of colorful incidents. There are
hazards and escapes enough to satisfy
the most exacting of readers Weird
ceremonies and rival mysteries engage
one. Duels for the civilized, the war
path and the stake for the savage di-
yersify the entertainment and crafty
ones love for the marvellous, the uneX-
pected, the impossible. All in all. this
is a lusty romance, touched with his
tory, but compact for the most part of
a vivid and far-faring imagination.

 the Virginia Geological Survey. Un- til recently the region was entirely Iundeveloped, and little information Iconcerning it was available, but it has not escaped the attention of the coal operators, for some of the largest corporations have acquired lands in
 this region with a view to active de- Ivelopment. The quadrangle probably contains greater number of coal beds
 than any area of the same size in the Appalachian coal field and will com pare favorably with most other areas in that field in the thickness and extent
 of its beds. Within the last three wears railroad communication has been established with the outside world and in the Kentucky area IA mines are actively shipping. In the Virginia area only one large mine has been op-
