Arctic Mystery
Story of Love and Adven-
ture in Frozen North
~ DOM must be made on the long
HN shelf Of fiction concerning the life

~ DOM must be made on the long
n shelf Of fiction concerning the life
in the northern section Of our
American continent. A new novel, Ridg-
we'll Cullum's The Heart of Unaga (Put-
nam's), brings to the literature Of the
great spaces of British North America
an unexpected and almost exotic flame
Of color, a glow that has in it re-
membrance of tropic ATTITUDES and
mysteries that are akin with those of
the early stories of Rider Haggard
The 'heart" of Unaga is the center Of
a district far to the north of Ottawa,
in the uncharted area above 60 North
and in the Hudson Bay region. 1t is
section that has never been trodden by
the foot of white men, from which
little band Of Indians brings forth
yearly dried plant that yields the
sleep producing Adresol, which gives
them forgetfulness and rest for the six
months Of the winter season. This
drug is of immense value, and no white
man has ever been near its habitat.
Mr Cullum builds his novel around
a quest for the volcanic territory where
the nepenthic flowers bloom. His re-
suit is a splendid story of love and ad-
venture, of brave hearts and faithful
souls. Steve Allenwood, whose wife
deserts him for the worthless and Grim
inal Hervey Gerstaing; the fatherless
boy, Marcel Brand; Steve's lost daugh-
ter, who appears to Marcel suddenly,
rifle in hand, to save him from a charg-
ing moose; these characters, together
with we'll depicted Indians, among
whom stands out the bronze figure of
the woman, Anina, project, chiseled
clean and clear, against their back
grounds of forest and ice fields
One who has read The Heart of
Unaga will not soon forget the thrill
received as he meets the graphic pic

Notes of Books
And of Authors
Poems by Robert Nichols

Robert Nichols's new book, Aure-
liza and Other Poems, which has just
been published In this country by E.
P. Dutton & Co., has aroused a great
deal of favorable comment in England.
and has been eagerly awaited by
poetry lovers here. An English analy-
sis Of particular interest is that OF
Lawrence Binyon, the we'll known
poet and critic, in The Observer.
Mr.. Binyon points out the fact that
the work Of many young "poets who
were soldiers, soldiers who were
poets" will inevitably be subject to
a severe scrutiny now that the war
is over, and goes on, In part: "Proml-
nent among the generation whose
youth will forever be associated with
the battlefelds Of France and Flan-
ders, or the East, Is Robert Nichols.
Assuredly not one Of those whom the
war turned poet, he>is widely known
as the author of Ardours and En-
durances, a volume in which the ex-
altations and agonies Of battle ex-
periences were expressed with
vividness and passion hardly matched
elsewhere, but who also In The
Faun's Holiday showed a rich vein Of
sensuous imagination, Of high promise
in the direction Of pure poetry. Mr..
Nichols low brings us his second
volume, and it will be read with the
eager interest kindled by its predeces-
sor There are few pages-a section
entitled sterday'-inspired by the
war; but it is to the rest of the book
that we turn rather to mark the
growth and expansion Of the poet. The
poem which gives its name to the book
is sequence Of sonnets of the
Shakespearean pattern. The theme is
old as poetry. and the story
comes with famous echoings. But Mr.
Nichols's voice is his own, no echo,
though, boldly enough, he rather
courts than avoids Shakespearean
parallels in singing Of his angel
demon even to the molding of
cadences and phrases like
Though of yourself, yourself make
i'll report
"In spite of this, the impression left
by the series is individual and
poignant. 1t is all passion
ately alive" The sonnets to Aurela
fill about one-third of the volume, and
Mr.. Binyon, who goes on to write of
the poets "thrilled responsiveness to
beauty and his Sudden flashes of
felicity" finds the other poems equal
ly fine. The book as whole, he sums
up, shows Mr.. Nichols expanding and
growing"

EARLY q decade ago @ set |
Of Irish players introduced |
into the American theater a

VI or irish players introduced
into the American theater a
carefully balanced repertory
OF dramatic pieces from the pens of
Synge. Yeats and Lady Gregory. After
rather q stormy reception, at some
points on the theatrical circuit empha-
sized with volleys Of mellowed vegeta-
tion, riots, police reserves and scare
headlines In the morning papers, the
Irish players came through gloriously.
The less rabid section Of the American
public settled down to the idea that
the actors from overseas were not a
propag ganda-bearing outfit, but the con-
veyors Of really worth while drama.
Since that time Synge, Yeats and Lady
Gregory have intrenched themselves
securely and been allotted generous
space on the American bookshelf.
The most recent contribution is The
Dragon, wonder play by Lady Greg
ory. published by Putnam's. In an
authors note Lady Gregory admits
that she began the play as q serious
drama, but changed to comedy as
relief from the tragedy Of the war.
When it was first produced at the
Abbey Theater, Dublin, in April. 1919,
reviewers insisted that it occasioned
more genuine hilarity than had been
heard at the Abbey for years. We do
not feel that frst-night Broadway
audience would make any such response
to The Dragon, and yet no reflection is
directed against Lady Gregory's play
nor against a Broadway audience.
Stated badly, the plot Of The Dragon
would give Lady Gregory q fair stand
ing among musical comedy librettists-
there are even moments in the play
where one may recognize the sketchy
outlines of burlesque evening-but
it is not with plot or theme that Lady
Gregory has earned her distinction.
The rhythmic swing of her dialogue,
the charm Of her exposition of the
Kiltartan dialect (if it is that and her
constantly keen sense for dramatic
values will compensate any one who
feels that the story is not sufficiently
entertaining. Perhaps these qualities
sre more effective in serious drama
than in comedy, but they are always
present.

Besuty Desirable, Thinks Edna Ferber
"The knowledge that she is beausifu!
is the most comfortable feeling that
woman can ever have" thinks Edna
Ferber, whose new play, $1,000 Year,
which Doubleday, Page & Co. have just
published, will soon have its Broadway
premier. But in choosing her own
friends she admits that beauty is not a
first consideration and that brains
have greater attraction. Of friends,
Miss Ferber claims William Allen
White, editor of The Emporia Gazette,
Bill White, as he is known in the pro-
fession, as her best one. And this is
casting no aspersions upon Mr.. Whites
pulchritude. One of her books, Fanny
Herself, is dedicated to him. There
never was a better man than Bill
White" she maintains, "and his wife
is wonderful, too. If anything, she is
the more brilliant of the two" Miss
Ferber reminds US that it was Bill
White who discovered Walt Mason
when he wandered into Emporia as a
tramp several years ago, and gave his
prose poems place on the front page

New Edition of Beggars' Opera

he wrote the "Beggars' OPERA" joy

vorite from time to time ever since.
Hammersmith, London, was the scene
Of its last revival, when even
the movies emptied their houses to
this production. Simultaneously with
the news that the opera will come to
New York this winter, B. W. Huebsch,
the publisher, announces small edi-
tion Of the text, including the mimi
table lyrics. According to a London
epigram, the opera is touchstone for
all who take it up. John Gay, its
author, and John Rich, it's producer
prospered. Street wags said, "It made
Rich gay and Gay rich"

CHICAGO GRAIN.
(By Thomas & McKinnon.)
Tuna %

The late start and the spotted condition
of the corn crop makes the market some
what more sensitive TO unfavorable con-
dttions than to items of the reverse sort.
A forecast Of continued heat over west
ern and southern portions of the corn
belt Offset the beneficial rains which APP
peared In more northern sections.
Shippers and elevator interests, being
imbued with the idea that the present
movement will be the last of any import
ance until the new crop IS assured are
anticipating forward requirements.
1t is not discoverable. however, that
eastern buyers are increasing their de-
mands. The market probably win prove
erratie under the changes In weather
conditions, but we incline to the idea that
the practical disappearance Of premiums.
Slowness Of new demand and the known
reserves Of old corn on farms should out
weigh crop uncertainties.
Excellent rains over the central and
north portions Of the oats belt induced
moderate realizing sales. This selling was
not on Il large scale and there was SUI
hcient new demand to keep market tone
rather firm.
The cash market promised TO be easy
but shippers were ia the market and
prices were about unchanged
Crop news from southern part of the
belt Is not OF the best sort.

HIS DEVICE TELLS
THE SEX OF EGGS
'Sexometer' Claimed to Be IS
Per Cent Accurate.

WINNIPEG, Canada. June 29.-Here-
after, when referring to an egg, the
precise grammarian will not say sit, =
lie will say che" or "she."
For Winnipeg poultry fancier, who
is also an inventor, has established the
fact that egg IS not neutral gender, rs
schools have always taught, but mas
culine or feminine
But to make sure that he uses the
right pronoun, the disciple of pure die
tion will have to carry about with him
n device known as a "sexometer' In order
to determine whether the egg is a po-
tcntial rooster or hen.
AS the result of a series of expert
ments which he has conducted since he
perfected the device early in the spring,
the inventor, f. ]. Fellows of 1872 Ken
nedy street claims, in an interview, that
the "sexometer tells truly the sex CT
eighty-five out of 100 eggs.
The 10 per cent of uncertainty he at
tributes not, as the interviewer sug-
gested, to the supposition that some
