THE TIGERS COAT"

By Elizabeth Dejeans. With illustrations by Arthur I. Keller. The Bobbs- Merrill Co. publishers. Indianapolis.
 Those who recall the very interesting story that Elizabeth Dejeans wrote some years ago entitled "The Far Triumph, D will be delighted to know that she has written another story equally as good, if not better.
 "The Tigers Coat" is a wonderfully interesting story; the characters are well drawn and the Nebraskan scenes power fully pictured the plot which has just enough to do with the war to make 1t especially modern, is cleverly worked out, and no finer or more likeable character has ever been created than the hero, Mac Allister. the big brawny schotchman. The heroine Marie Ogilvie or Maria de 1 la Guarda, as she was formerly known 1 is a complex and intricate character, but a marvelously attractive one, for the golden woman of the tigers coat was 1 literally golden She had black hair shot with gold, her black lashes and brows had the same tint of bronze, her eyes were frankly yellow.
 Add to this the fact that she was a refugee from Belgium, that she knew Mexico like book, that she was an ac- tress to the tips of her fingers with the 1.-the grace of a tigress and the primitive tastes of a savage, covered by the ways or woman or the world. Sur round her with the allure of mystery and we have heroine who promises interest and commands attention The novel of the middle west that the author has woven about this fascinating personality fulfills the promise and gains a response to the command. It has at every turn of the corner the fine thrill of 6 drama of character and action.
 WHAT HE LEAST EXPECTED" By Holworthy Hall. Illustrated by Fred eric Dorr Steele. The Bebbs-Merrill company, publishers, Indianapolis.
 Holworthy Hall, the clever author of What He Least Expected" has achieved
 a notable success in his gripping story. The confirmed reader of exciting fic- ton thinks he knows the solution of any puzzle the author can put up to him. But What He Least Expected proves what he leasts expects.

THE MORNING PLANETS

The sun in its slow apparent jour- ney among the stars has now passed to the east of Mercury. Mars and Jupiter so that as we look at these planets in the southern heavens we see the sun to the left of them. Con- sequently these planets now set be- fore sunset and arise before the sun rises; that is, they are all morning stars As Mars moves eastward among the stars far more rapidly than Jupiter, the sun draws away from the former planet much more slowly than from the latter one. The result is that the latter planet seems to climb upward into the morning sky much more rapidly than does the more swiftly moving world.
 All three of these bright worlds are now close together and moving east ward through the constellation Tau
 rus. Both Mars and Jupiter move quite steadily eastward the former along the path AB. Figure 2, and the latter along the path CD. But the motion of Mercury Is peculiar. On June 1 it Is at the position E, but it's motion Is then so slow that it Is passed by Mars when the former plan ct is at K and the latter at c. Its

THE STARRY SKIES IN JUNE


June Is our month of the shortest
 nights At the time of the shortest day. twilight does not fully disappear until about 20 minutes before 10 o'clock in the evening, while before
 2:SO o'clock in the morning the first signs of dawn are seen in the east. The astronomer has thus less than five hours of complete darkness in his observatory during the entire
 night, striking contrast to the long
 hours afforded by the nights of mid winter.
 The constellations, too, of our
 summer evenings are Gas our readers
 doubtless well know) far less bril-
 liant than the magnificent groups to
 be seen during the colder months of
 the year. We have, indeed. one most brilliant and interesting group-that of the Scorpion. which is now creep ing upward into our evening heavens from the southeast-but the very widely extended groups of Ophiuchus. Virgo and Hydra. which fill the re- maining part of the southern sky, are composed almost wholly of faint, inconspicuous stars.
 During this month. too the planet saturn, of all the planets, alone re- mains conspicuous in the evening heavens, and this is rapidly sinking in the west. Yet perhaps the most interesting spectacle of the entire month is that furnished by the rapid motions and close approaches of the three bright worlds-Mercury, Mars and Jupiter. These are now, how ever all very close together In the morning sky. so that In order to study , them the observer must go out in the early morning hours a short time be- fore sunrise

he has less chance to rest than Douglas Fairbanks in the movies.
 The setting is New York, and then beautiful Bermuda. The cast is com pounded of youth and loveliness arrayed against villainy, 1917 model. The adven- ture is quick-firing. The characters are struck off with rapid s--'okes that make them jump into life. The wit is keen. The verbal twists have a lively tang. The developments amuse, bewilder and excite. In short, the reader finds what he most expects from Holworthy Hall in the satisfying form of full length TO- manca of mystery.

that official German estimates of sub
marine sinkings are about 80 per cent
too high. Many Of the vessels tor
pedoed and reported sunk succeed in
making their way to port with their
cargoes. Great expectations are en-
tertained with reference to the help
which the United States will be able
to contribute in bringing the U-boat
campaign to an end. The rapidity with
which naval vessels are undergoing
construction in the United States and
Great Britain is one of the wonders
of the war.

Meaning Of Word oHohenzoIIern."

The word "HohenzoIlern" has no dis
tinctive meaning in itself. except as
circumstances by common consent have
invested 1t with such meaning. Origi-
nally it was the name of German
princely family of the middle ages,
which for a long time furnished the
kings of Prussia who, when the empire
was formed, became emperors Of Ger
many. The rulers of this line have
been so autocratic and imperialistic as
to make the word 'Hohenzollern' sy-
nonymdus with extreme autocraey and
Imperialism.
