Trip on a Whaler Animal Heéroes of. , IDA GILBERT MYERS. WHALERS AND WHALING. ‘By B’ Keble Chatterton, author of “Sail-{, ing Ships and . Their Story,” gte. Philadelphia: J. P. Lippincott Co. PRIME opportunity ' for this hot Midsummer week I8 to board a whaler and sail away, the seas over, in the change- ful and ‘exciting pursuit of a great industry.‘ For captain here is Keble Chatterton, true amphibian, whose use for land appears. to be only that of securing @ firm’ and steady surface for the setting down of ad- ventures that. befall him by sea, hig beloved and greatly preferred element At the outset itself two surpris stand in the ‘way. One is that the whale industry is still very much alive, still very important. ~The othér is that a new whaling zone has come into use. When the ladies took off their corsets, when slender, flexible steel ribs took ‘the place of whalebone in many other objects, then, it seemed, the whale would come into a blessed state of comparative neglect. When ofl was being taken from the earth itself and extracted. from many growths upon - the earth's surface, then, too, it seemed, that the great sea mammal could heave a huge sigh of relief and settle to the security of a long and happy life. - But modern industry has found many uses for the mountainous body of the:whale, for every scrap of it, not for bone and oil alone. Theretore safety. to levia- than.is a delusive dream. The pur suit of him is ingenlously diversified and intensified. ) * Now we are sailing southward, not up toward -the Arctic, -where whales ‘were heretofore thought to have their exclusive domain. It appears that sea folks, like those on land, learn to be nomads and pioneers under stresses of hunger and personal -safety. : So; they roam the waters. beside ‘food-bearing currents or flee for sanctuary into se- cluded corners of the sea world. The Antarctic is now the great whale zone. That is why we are sailing southward, Along the way we listen to stories of the great blue whale, the biggest thing alive, that has muitiplied in safety around the Southern Pole, mak- ing a new hunting area which in other quarters has been overworked and de- pleted. On this voyage there are tales, a many, of the old sailing ship— Joveliest bird that flies—tales of high adventure in unfriendly icebound seas, of sheer heroism in the face of an enemy, strong, resourceful, defiant. Then the record changes to meet the rise of the steam-driven whaler, of guns perfected in placement and operation and execution, doing away with the old hand-to-hand harpoon en- counter between mah and his prey. Along with the word record that covers the entire field of whaling there goes a story by picture which, atep by step, gives a graphic verifica- tion-of the various stages in this great sea enterprise. There is here nothing of the sere and yellow effect of plain history. To the facts, historic in con- tent to be sure, have been given the wings of adventure, the illumination of imagination. Good reading for a hot Midsummer week. * x k% ANIMAL HEROES OF THE GREAT WAR. By Ernest Harold Baynes, author of “Polaris: The Story of an Eskimo Dog,” etc. New York: - The Macmillan Company. WHEN Ernest Baynes dled, only a little while ago, -animals lost a friend and lover. - Readers lost, too, a keenly intelligent nterpreter of animal life along lines indicating the many contacts, in both mind and heart, between man and the creatures around him. It was a part of this man to be deeply, poignantly inter- ested in the animal heroisms of the Great War. It was like him to follow in the trail of the war horses and dogs and pigeons and camels. It was like him not to forget the various kinds of mascots that eased the lonely hours of the fighting men, and ap- pealed to strange superstitious grop- ings after a sense of safety and an ultjmate home-going. So, a hundred storles march by here, 31l of them glorious with the service of animals, each doing its wonderful bit, in the great madness of human strife. Stories to make the heart ache, stories to breed the resolution thad no animal roundabout, no matter what kind, no * matter what condition it may have fallen into, shall ever again be treat- ed with indifference and unconcern. Here are accounts of the training of these animals by the various uses of war. Here is a record of the tremendous slaughter that took place among them. It is, as a whole, a tragic_story. One that takes no in- considerable place as a part of the argument against the wholly mad and inhuman practice of war. Ernest Baynes is. never sentimenfal. He is sincere in the pursuit of the truth about these his chosen friends. He is understanding and tender toward them. His experiences among them are of great value in a world that is becoming thoughtful, at least, toward the claims of these creatures in a world that has received them no less than it has received man himself. * ok k% CARILLON MUSIC AND SINGING POWERS OF THE OLD WORLD AND THE NEW. By Willlam Gorham Rice, author of “Carillons of Belgium and Holland,” etc. II- Lus(mted. New York: Dodd, Mead Co. ! FRESH theme, this, as well as one possessing an inherent inte est. B ore, it commands an in- -ntion that deepens under the good gualities of its development. We, in ¢adgcountry, kmow little about the singing -to . To be sure, we have them—a few of them. There is the one at Gloucester, the first one to be set up in the United States. and the one at Cohasset, lately increased to 43 bells. New York has one of 58 bells and elsewhere in this country there are scattered these singing towers. And to these Mr. Rice gives adequate attention. The carillon music, however, took its rise in the old country, a primi- tive contrivance of the sixteenth cen- tury that grew to the perfected insti- tution that gave one form . of dis- tinction to the low countries in partic- ular. Here the author gives a nano- ramic view of the distribution of the carillon towers. He points to the source of this particularform of archi- tecture, discussing easily its beauty and effect and meaning. He assem- bles here the poets who have taken insoiration from these aerial wel- comers to their land. Our own Long- fellow, to us the leader, with “Thé Belfrey of Bruges,” the one from whom we reach out for other poets and other songs upon this theme, For those who are curlous about the actual workings of the chimes there is_an accurate description of the bells, of their construction and ar. rangement, of the mechanisms that control them and send thetl: songs in- teresting chapter of history t along the way passes Into a music that partakes ‘of fne nature of ro- mance itself. A most ‘rection -of George - Saunders, president, of.. the :Old-time Trail Drivers’ atfon, ., Nashvil Cokesbury Press, .« . ., MUCH too big: this book for any one outside of Texas to read in its entirety. An invaluable collection of stories, ‘nevertheless,- to gather from here and there, not ‘only for the facts of a great pioneer movement, but for the flaming. Spirit ‘of that great crosg-country. ndventure itself. The marketing of cattle-~just these four words—has an uneventful sound. Just wait a minute, though. At the time we are reading about here there were no railroads. A .Jimitless .do- main of, grass country- fostered the’ raising of cattle. A-bucolic business on the face of this fact. It was mar. keting time, however, that brought on the stresses of the business, theen- durance, the suffering, the losses, the final rudely heroic achievement. This huge volume is reminiscent.of-these strenuous cattle days in Texas. It seems as if a thousand personal recol- lections have gone into the business of keeping those colorful quick-action days alive. And what a ‘fine purpose gxkl')een served in the making.of this Here is history, alive and humming. A Here is adventure, hot and driving. Here are stories enough to serve as the foundation of whole ‘libraries of truth that is better than fiction. Here ;re m:':t and women, pioneers of the rst. er. And here, right “where he belongs, is Col. House. A: picture book, as well as an account book; in which many a doughty Texan looks out upon us in tolerant ‘good nature, that adds to the credibility . of.the whole tremendous business of ‘cattie raising in that boundless southland of Texas. Fine work to get this great business between covers, -Here it will |/~ stand as the reliable source of no end: of Texas literature. Other commen- ‘wealths have their historical societies. Doubtless Texas has its own society. They could all Jearn a thing or two from this Dook of reminis- f | cences that have the very tang of the hard life and the clash of battle with- in them. * k¥ % RODOMONT. By H. Bedford-Jones. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. E o;xtsumdznr feature of this pure invention is that marvel medieval architecture, Mh:n! St, Mlchfi —fortress, prison, sancturary, all in one. Going back to the sumptuous and artifielal days of Louis XIV, the tale is a maze of intrigue and secret plot, of sycophantic service on the one hand, and ‘arrogant assumptions on the other. The lettre de cachet is the instrument of summary imprisonment and frequent unrecorded death. Duels are as common as breakfasts, and #ples belong to the common entour- age of the traveler of importance. Within this setting is Rodoment, an American, and with him a sturdy Canadian. In no time at all these two are completely enmeshed in the treacheries surrounding them, At Mont St. Michel, where they go to deliver a letter to some mysterious prisoner, they come upon pitfalls for every step, and touch dangers at every turn. All this to weave a romantic tale around the courage and daring and recklessness of Rodomont, the hero of this old story, that flares out quite in the impetuosity and resource of one of Sabatini’s own good inven- tions out of the past. * kK ok A NEW NAME.

A clever.. woman who belongs to a literary elub was telling about him to another woméin at a desk. 7 “In the old days, strangers saw the from. rious angles. One old gentleman drove in after, night to the home of/ a relative in the northeast section. “Early next morning, while break- fast was being prepared, he went out for a walk, and on his return an- nounced that he had been down to the Capitol. On inquiry the family found that he had walked around the big old brewery at 4th and F streets— ‘which has now given way to a high school. And he was just as pl as if he had seen the real thing.” And, of course the woman at the desk had her only little reminiscence in_turn: “A’ country inlaw came here on a try rela- red into wrinkles and nt- ment and contempt— “‘Is that her home?

The question whether it is better not te travel at all than to travel hur- riedly, superficially or ignorantly is at least debatable. From the stand- point of the mental life of the indi- vidual even the most hackneyed tour, it would seem, must leave some re- siduum of mental enrichment.
