Book of Giants" (E P. Dutton) is sure
to please your boys and girls, and it holds
a deal of interesting matter for you.
A little book of five stories for children
by that master of the art of telling them,
Evaleen Stein, is called When Fairies
Were Friendly" CThe Page Coz. Each
story, is long enough to take two evenings
to the reading, if you wait till half past
seven to begin, and very eager the little
boys and girls will be to hear the rest.
There is an appealing, gentle charm to the
stories, a feeling for what is lovely and
lovabie. a sense of romance and fairy spell
that makes them most desirable Thelma
Gooch has made the pretty pictures and
the cover design.

too heavy to begin with) on his seven
acres in a few months; so they hired
a man who is called "the Scandi-
navian"; him they praise highly as a
magician at making the place "go"-
that is, doing the hundred necessary
things, so that master and mistress
might have time to plant and tend
their flowers.
There are nearly twenty chapters
in this good humored little book, and
one OF them is devoted wholly to an
nuals; it is quite enough to make a
real garden lover a bit delirious: the
writer does not deny some slight be-
witchery himself. But many of the
chapters are full of light hearted,
friendly and informing talk and sug-
gestions for the benefit of the thou

no idea of practicing what they may

at all: the husband put a bay window
on his Greek temple of a house and
his wife declared she would not have
stick of Colonial furniture in it:
therefore she had green walls and a
green carpet and green curtains and
desk painted in green's and blues,

is sweeping the country from
coast to coast. 1t has become such
a serious menace (?) that a new
language is springing up. Where at
one time people talked intelligently
they now talk in terms as mystify
ing as ether itself. One goes TO bed
at night with the jargon of this new
language ringing incessantly in
ones ear. You wonder what the
meaning of anchor gap is; what is
meant by cage aerial. counterpoise,

innumerable mystic words and
phrases. But what is this contagious
epidemic that even the politicians
have been affected with? The radio.

ten this small volume. The Home

The book, written in a simple and
direct style, is intended as a guide
to amateurs. boys. girls. and for
those who wish to make, use or
adjust wireless telephone instru-
ments. IL one is looking for infor-
nation or explanation OF the scien-
tific phase of radio transmission this
book win disappoint them greatly
In order to reassure persons under
taking a radio set that one need not
know every little detail concerning
radio transmission the author says:
"a deep or thorough knowledge OF
the subject is not at all essential in
order to secure all the pleasure and
benefit to be had from the use OF
radio telephones, and unless the
reader is well versed in a knowledge
of the basic principles of electrical
mechanics and phenomena any at
tempt to explain the why's and
wherefores of the subject would
merely lead TO confusion. Indeed,
very few OF the people who are us
ing wireless telephones at the pres
ent times have any idea as to why
the wheels go round and I am not
at all sure that a complete ignorance
OF the inner workings of the appa-
ratus is not a distinct advantage"

that many persons would. when they

"MOre Beetles"

MORE BEETLES. BY ]. Henri Fabre.
Translated by Alexander Teixeira de
Mattos. Dodd, Mead & Co.
.THIRTEENTH volume in the
Collected English Edition of
Fabre's works. and fourth
In his series Of books on the beetle,
this study Of various insects of Tat
family carries on the inimitable
charm of Fabre's writings on the in
sect world, to which is added the
further attractions Of additional
glimpses of his family life and one
of his rare moralizings, this time on
morality. OF the fourteen chapters,
part of the four contained herein de-
voted to the Minotaur. appeared in
abbreviated form in 'The Life and
Love of the Insect" and the chap
ters on the Pine Cockchafer and the
Gold Beetle have been printed in
:"Social Life in the Insect World"
But as they belong in this volume Sc
quentially. they have properly been
included here to present Fabre's
writings completely as he publish ed
them.
The first chapters. devoted to the
Cetonie, the Saprinin and Dermestes,
are devoted to the ghouls and under
takers of the insect world. and even
the cannibals. the combination being
unpleasant" reading, to borrow a
-Shavian term OF description. In
these studies, as always with Fabre,
his descriptions OF the ingenious
means he worked out to follow insect
life from beginning to end are fasci-
mating as the simplicity of his raa-
soning over achieved results and
failures.
For human interest. one of the
most thoroughly delightful chapters
is that describing the Shrove Tues
day feast on the Cossus worm, dug
out of some pine stumps. in emula-
ton of the Roman epicures. Tnis
feast, the novel dish OF which con-
sisted of Cossus worms, skewered
and grilled over an open fire, was
shared in by the Fabre family. Julian,
the schoolmaster, and Marius Guigne.
the blind joiner. OF these last two
friends Fabre wrote they were prob
ably the only persons in the village
in whose presence may venture on
these eccentricities Of the table
without provoking comments IN
what would be regarded as depraved
taste" New World epicures may be
interested to know that these Cossus
worms are as thick as Fabre's
thumb. 'Its ivory whlteness is pleas
ing to the eye and its satin-like deli
cacy is soft to the touch: 1t is even
appetizing, resembling as 1t does a
| translucent bag filled to bursting
point with fresh butter. All are of
one opinion. The joint is juicy, ten
der. and very savory. The taste re-
minds one a little Of burnt almonds
favored with the merest suggestion
OF vanilla. In short. the dish of
worms Is pronounced to be most
agreeable, one might even say first
rate"
I The chapter on "The Dwarfs' is
another perfect illustration of the
great French naturalist's method of
arriving at the solution OF one of
the many puzzles presented to him
by insect life. Finding a dwarf

nourishment may have been respon-
sible for this condition. tests his
theory with three different grours.
and proves his point. One perfect
dwarf resulted from his experiment
in starvation and underfeeding cut
of disproportionate casualty fst.
Fabre comes to the conclusion that

ed that dwarf may be produced by
