In some of the village churches are fine wood carvings and sculptures in Esthonian marble. “The finest part of the island, how- ever, is the Sworbe peninsula, a long handle-like projection to the south. west. The greatest width of th peninsula is 6 miles and it is 16 miles | long, with a ridge of hill running throughout its length like a back. bone.

Ancient Fortresses. “The islands have long been con- sidered of military importance, as the remains of hill fortresses and lofty ring-walls of pagan date, found along the coast and in many parts of the interfor, give evidence. In the thir- teenth century they were occupied by Waldemar, King of the Danes, and his men, who bullt a strong fortified castle. This castle was later destroyed by the Esthonians, who followed the conquest of the island by the knights of the sword. In 1359 the islands were old to Denmark, which nation in turn surrendered them to Sweden. They were incorporated with Russia in 1721 and remained under t dominion until after the World W when they were returned to Esthonians. “During the World War the Peninsula on Oesel embraced a tery of 1i4nch naval guns often bombed by enemy airplane There wers fortifications on b islands throughout the war and lanc ings were made by the German forces in the vicinity of Tagga Bay, on the north shore of Oesel, in 1917. The two islands surrendered to the Ger- man forces on October 16, 1917. Lo- cated at the junction of the Gulf of Finland and the Baltic Sea, and not far from the mouth of the Gulf of Bothnia, they are considered of great strategic value.” a he s rorbe bat and wz ITALIANS WILL EXTEND AFRICAN EXCAVATIONS Sclentific: Work to Be Begun Cyrenus, Oldest Greek Colony in in Continent.

Correspondence of the Associated Press. NAPLES, July 6.—After much dis- cussion as to the best way of preserv- ing for posterity the room here in which King Victor Emmanuel IIT was born, Minister of Public Instruction Fedele, after consulting Benedetto Groce, noted Sicilian philosopher, has decided to leave it entirely empty, except for a marble tablet in the mid- dle of the room to record the event. It was first proposed to restore the room to its original appearance at the time the King was born; then there was a plan to fill it with relics exca- vated from the ancient city of Hercu- | IDA GILBERT MYERS. PUBLICITY. By Ivy L. Lee. New York. Industries Publishing C¢ N tune with the time pressure of the present day, this study of publicity calls for less than an hour for its consideration. Con- densed to the prime essentlals of the subject, the study adds still fur- ther to its practical treatment by a straight approach to the theme and by a concrete method of expasition. The two addresses which make up the substance of the book are di- rected on the one hand to teachers of journallsm and on the other to an official body of business associatcs, Between them is the author, himself for 20 years engaged In publicity work. On one side is business in its various aspects requiring public at- tention and response. On the other side Is the pres, chief among the agencies of publicity. From such standpoint Mr, Lee dis- cusses the nature of the subject, lim- iting it to meet the speclal situation prescribed, setting the conditions of a legitimate and proper publicity off from measures and methods that fall outside these limits of propriety and fair dealing. On the side of the press he, in concrete exemplification, sets the dividing line betwen news and ad- vertisement, showing why each is what it is and why it cannot be the other. On the side of business he makes clear the fact that mere pub- licity cannot take the place of sdund policie: while both together can achieve greatly in the desired direc- tion. Incidentally, the author shows that, owing to the increased com- plexity of all business, the trained publicity man has a place which the news reporter, with his background and shifting assignments, cannot pos- sibly fill. By way of this practical little book the author makes a falr linking up of business, the press and the trained publicity agent, vne that shows the real community Among them, one that at the same time de- velops the legitimate ani effective ways by which they are calculated to serve one another. JUNGLE DAYS. By William Beebe. author of “Galapagos; World’s End, etc. Illustrated. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. 0.\'1‘« minute pure scientist, prodding every sort of strange animal with glass and fine tool and reacting Auid and any other whatnot of exact knowl- edge, satisfied only with the final pre- cise dotting of every “i” and the crossing of every “t” of literal fact concerning the subject in _hand. In such a moment Willlam Beebe suits the pure scientist down to the ground, and to him by way of “Jungle Davs'" he brings a fresh and precious store to add to the sum of knowledge. But Beebe is not every single minute the pure scientist. For now and then he stands up stralght and looks out and off as far as the massed and tangled jungle will allow. And In this pose of wider reach he has a way of gather- ing ensembles—gorgeous and brilliant points, composed against impenetrable depths of background from which breathe a thousand implications of mystery and lure. When he stretches himself that way he reaches out and touches the poet that everybody is inside himself. And, again, once in a while he sits down with the jungle birds, beasts, and bugs, and things, and the riotous growths and the deep shadows, and out of these he weaves regular stories, as true as truth all of them. Much more beguiling to a vast number of people these atories than the catalogues and classifica tions that accrue from the jungle to the learned sclentist. But the point is that William Beebe appears to be able to bring something home out of his far wanderings to fit all sorts of folks. And this is what he surely has done in “Jungle” Days. ~And the next thing from him will be fact and story and song about the Sar- gasso Sea. | AMERICA’S GREATEST GARDEN. By H. Wilson, M. A., author of Naturalist in Western China,” etc. TIllustrated. Boston: The Stratford Co. ERE is the story of America’s greatest garden, the Arnold Ar- boretum of Harvard University. From its inception in the mind of Charles Sargent to its present amazing fulfill- ment the garden stands here in a season-by-season perfection of beauty. As well as orderly and lucid descrip- | tions, supplemented by an abundance {of admirable pictures, can do, this book reproduces the famous Arbore- tum. In addition to the seasonal pro cession of growth and bloom set down here, there are descriptions of special festivals, like that of “lilac time,” | which suggests at once the reading of Alfred Noyes' “Come Down to Kew in Lilac Time,” like the cherry blos- som festival and the azalea carnival, these merging toward Autumn into the gala season of rhododendron and laurel. An extra touch of interest is added by an open entertainment of the birds in the Arboretum, a fine and lovely touch. A final chapter sums the daily use of this great garden, with the record of its growth within the last half century. It stands in beauty and perfection as an estab- lished home for woody plants, and as a station for the study of these plants in their scientific relationships, in their economic properties and in their mors enjoyable than the thing that New York couldn't have happened. THE SINS OF SAINT ANTHONY. By Charles Collins. Chieago: Pascal Covicl. ALF a dozen storles, all axcept one about the theater. That one exception, the story giving title to the book, is about a young man who was compelled to Invent for himself the legend of Don Juan and Lotherlo, combined in order to register any thing at all In the Interest of the fair ladies of his acquaintance, The whole business of this light little story is taken up with the ways and means resorted to by Tony Osgeod to rid himself of the deadly blight of being “just a nice fellow.” Sound as to its foundation, the story itselt is an adroit amplification of the fact that the merely “good man,” the “nice is_as negligible to most women as Tony was till he provided himself with a perfectly good alibi in this respect. The other tales deul, not so much with the theater itself, not with the play and the stage and the actors and the audience. Rather are these gathered up as backsround against which the author sets this | one or that to show something of the Interplay between the actor wnd his medjum. And here are ail kinds— Just as there are all kinds in evers other fleli—the vain, the silly, the weak, the vicious, the seliish, the mean, with little splashes of the opposite of all these—just as with everybody else. These qualities Mr Collins gathers up as human beings | hose common medium is the stage | life. An understanding man, who clearly knows the stage In all of ‘it parts, who knows human beings be- sides. Little stories of ironie turn, since there is really no other turn for stories of the human to take. Ari- ful inventions whose form is a Spe- cially good fit for the substance be- neath. Amusing, but @ good deal| more than that, since together they sum to a very knowing attitude to- ward a deeply interesting profession. THE MYSTERIES OF N.

Phillips Op- penheim, author of *“The Inevitable Millionaires,” etc. Boston: Little, Brown & Co. _ OBBERY is the foundation of this new Oppenheim adventure. As believable as a police court case in this respect. Plausible a step further, too, sinte times without number have men committed theft to make good their losses great and small. Nothing more of the commonplace, however, cah be expected from E. Phillips Op- penheim, and nothing more of that nature follows. In the Pharisaic phrase of the West- ern Christian, the term ‘idoI” im- plies the Bast and heathenism. A similar twist of mind permits this Christian to loot the temples of the heathen, to break open their sacred burial places and in other ways to take on the role of vandal, all in the self-assurance of complete moral recti- tude. Only by such jugglery as this can one see the hero of this tale as anything but plain thief. That state of mind achieved, however, the reader is primed for all subsequent proceed- ings. The story sets off with a bang on the coast of China, and from there pursues its way under a continuous and progressive fusillade of sparp ex- plosions that carry it clear across the world and set it down in England for its final demonstration. There plots and counter-plots for possession of the stolen goods cross and recross one another. The subtle and occult influence of the alienated and defiled gods themselves works upon the very natures of those struggling for their possession. The crime of murder fol- lows, and to the original confusion of holding to the stolen idols is added that of the discovery and pursuit of this other sort of criminal. ‘Thirty novels Mv! made a prime story teller of this Wiuthor.
