Think of walking among the snow I and Ice of the Antarctic Continent with one's face black from continuous ex posure, eyes red and swollen from snow rlare, feet raw from frostbite, alone with winds blowing at the rate of SO miles per hour, and to reach safety I only to find that the ship that was go. me to take you home, had Just filled her sails and started on the homeward IJousney. And all for Antarctic explor ation, from 1911 to 1914. This is the record, in a few words, of Sir Douglas Mawson, as narrated in the book now under review. The reve lations of the latter are nearly unbe lievable. The pases are filled with deeds of conquest and daring, deeds as brave as ever those done by belted knight on historic battlefield. The book is easily the adventure-book of the year, and will be read with ab sorbing interest. Hurley, the official photographer of the expedition, and others, obtained unusually fine pho tographs and klnematographic films of wild animal life and these are repro duced with much success. The pictures are numerous and attractive. Contents, volume one: "The Problem and Preparations," "The Last Days at Hobart and the Voyage to Macquaire Island," "From Macquarie Island to Adelic Land."

There were 60 men in the Mawson ex pedition and it was one of the largest scientific explorations of modern times. The vast Southern continent was traversed through 60 degrees of longitude, new lands were discov ered south of Australia and much new scientific matter added to the sum of human knowledge. A wireless equip ment was put in active use. and at the new stations organized. Sir Douglas was enabled to flash warnings to Aus tralia of the approach of storms from 24 to 48 hours in advance of their oc currence in that civilised part of the world- Read this extract from an eventful Ltrio toward the magnetic South Pole "In December, 1912, three of us, IJoe- . 1 . . ,. . t - -taio tor niert, owing Bill i-uuminvu vi isuo, doctor of laws, a man of profound learning and deep sentiment: a young chap. Lieutenant isinnls. and myseiz. set out trom headquarters on an ex ploring trip. "We went out Sll miles before turn ing around. Then, suddenly. Lieuten ant Ninnis with the best dogs and the bulk of the provisions disappeared in a deep crevice and were not seen again "The only hope for Mertz and me lay : In instant return. We were favored ' by almost the last fine day wo had, and at first the dogs mado fair progress. Soon, however, they began to give out until we had to drag them along across . the Ice ridges. In the teeth of the howl ing gale and stinging snow. On Aew Tear's evening, the last of them, my own favorite dog, named Ginger, gave in and we had to make our meal from , what little meat clung to her poor bones. "I was feeling weak and Mertz had 'a look in his eyes that told how hard he was trying to keep up. We were . still 125 miles from camp. Together we buckled the harness on our breasts and dragged the sleigh forward. "Seven days later Doctor Mertz suc cumbed to the cold, exhaustion and ' starvation. We had made camp and he lay down in a torpor. 'I m done for,' he said, and then his mind went and he tossed with delirium . until midnight of January 7 and 6, 1913. :Thtn his struggles ceased.

But I thought If I could carry the diaries until I could . reach a nunatak a rocky peak I knew of one one hundred miles from cam there was a chance they would be F found. So I buried my dear friend Mertz how I had learned to love him s.nd slept through the bitter night. "With Mertz dead I was alone. I .couldn't drag the full sled. So I tawed it in two, packed what little gear I r-ould, put the harness over my shoul- Pders and struggled on. "There wasn't a shred of skin on the soles of my feet, because of continuous frostbites. Then, groaning under my burden, the snow I walked on rumbled rneath my feet and I dropped into flitter blackness. "For a moment the oncoming sled to Iwhieh I was harnessed slid toward the hole, letting me slowly down. In an other second the sledge, too, would fol low me in and life would end. But the Jedge didn't come In 1 11 explain why later. "Around me all was black and still as death. Above me was the small round liole with the white light. Weak and , dizzy, I exerted the last ounce of my strength and climbed, hand over hand, to the snow crust "Then my eyes closed and I slid back till I hung again by the band around mv chest. It was no use. The end I was at hand. "I searched for my pocketknlfe with which to cut the rope and make death instantaneous. But the kniie wasn t there I had left it in the pack. "I began to cry in sheer anger and. summoning my last strength, ciimoea hand over band to the snow crust. Then, as a trapeze hanger swings his feet over the bar first, so I thrust mine out, and slowly found myself ly ing flat on the snow next to the yawn ing hole. "The rope bad cut back Into the nara snow, and my weight had pulled the runners down and stopped them. "Overcome by the reaction of my nerves, I swooned to awake three1 hours later and crawl back from my dan 1 gerous position. Providence must have i had a hand in mat. cut reaiiy tne thing that made me go back up the rope was the thought that I had four pounds of dog meat left and I regretted dying while I had not gotten the good out of that-meager supply. "I took a lesson by this accident and made a rope ladder so that if I should drop through again I could crawl out easily. It was well I did, for twice I broke in again and promptly climbed out.- "I began to feel that I'd make it after 11 and then somehow I was over the glacier ice and with only sixty miles over the plateau, 2000 feet high, be tween me and camp.

I finished the sixty miles with the dog meat and a few crackers. And just as I came down over the hill I saw my ship sailing out of the harbor and slowly sinking out of sight. "So, It was all in vain; they baa given us up. I dropped down ana criea irom sheer exhausion. I had expected to re turn to Australia, where my fiancee was at that moment hurrying. She would never see me again. "And then I saw human beings. Evi dently they had left a search party, aft er all. with provisions to last till the next trip. My mind wasn t working very clearly, you may imagine. ' They took me Inside. I don't Know wnat happened after that for a good many hours. "When 1 was rested up a bit and my shapeless feet bandaged, I summoned the wireless operator and sent a wire less to my fiancee who was then landing at Melbourne. I told her I was there.

If you know a library-girl, or a maiden who has scorned marriage and yet hankers after it and a home of her very own, or a woman who is miser ably unhappy without any apparent reason tell each of them about "The Rose-Garden Husband." It is a first class story and a mental tonic. It is that rarity a story that can be taken into the home without any misgivings and placed in the way of growing chil dren or adults. They will all protlt. Miss Phyllis Narcissa Braithwaite. years old, the daughter of a New Eng land clergyman, with both parents dead, is assistant librarian in the chil dren's department in a city library somewhere in the East. She was known to the children who frequented the book department as the "Library Teacher." from her ability to tell, at a moment's notice, pleasant and enter taining stories. One day she returned from her modest lunch and met a young mother with "each of her well gloved hands held tight to a pretty picture-book-child who was wriggling with wild excitement, one enna nau yellow, frilly hair, and one had brown bobbed hair, and both were quaintly. Immaculately, expensively kissablA" After the pleasant domestic party has passed on, Phyllis remembered like flash that the young mother had beep a girlhood friend of her own, a MisB Eva Atkinson. Eva never was as pretty as I was. said the library girl to herself. "I'm sick of elevating the public I'm sick of working hard 51 weeks out of 62 for board and lodging and carfare and shirtwaists and the occasional society of a few girls who don't get any more out of life than I do. I'm sick of libraries and being efficient. I wish to be a real girl. Oh. I wish I had a lot of money and a rose garden and a hus band." Marvelous. The fates up above neara her wish. An elderly man and a friend of hera entered the library, a Mr. De Guenther, one of the rich lawyers or the city and a politician oi lniiuence. He asked if she would come to his home and meet his wife, who wlsnea Phyllis to become engaged in a differ ent line of work. Mrs. De Guenther ex plained to the astonished girl that a friend of her own, a Mrs. Harrington, has an invalid son, Allan, who has been unable to leave his bed for seven years. as he was suffering from an injury to his spine. Allan Harrington was taking his intended wile out ror an auto riae, when the auto tilted over, the young woman was killed and Allan injured. Mrs. Harrington wished a young wom an to take care of ner son, to De wnn constantly and to marry mm. Mrs. De Guenter had picked out Phyl- is as the future airs. Aiian narjuiswu. a rich young invalid's wife! With some Hesitation, ana ner pleading from Mr. and Mrs. ue Guenther. Phyllis agrees to see airs. Harrington and hints that she may accept the strange posltion.- He looked like s young crusaaer on if? a tomb," sums up Phyllis' first im pressions of Allan. He lay in a half comatose state, apparently unable to move, because of the injury to his spine. Mrs. Harrington turns out to be a loving nagger, a sickroom nui sance, who is ever on the chatter, a per perpetual torment who can be expected to shatter anv one's nerves. She had neatered Allan nearly to death. Mrs. Harrington was sure she could not live long. The marriage was hurriedly solemnized, and Phyllis was Mrs. Allan Harrington. The elder Mrs. Harrington dies. Phyllis notices a wolfhound dog in the sickroom and orders out the dnf for exercise. Phyllis became mistress of the big Harrington house and makes up ner mind that her husband's illness is malnlv mental. She secured for him to play with a French bulldog, Foxy. But did Phyllis love her nusDana ; iso, not as yet. Into their life there floats plenty of gloom, but the young wife is maker of cheer and smiles. ' She and Allan get to be good friends. She is sure that if Allan were to get to house in the country, a bouse with a rose garden, that he might recover. Done. The change of scene works wonders with Allan. His wife persuades him to move his arms and to walk. You see, his illness had largely been meta physical. A college friend of Allan calls, a Dr. Hewitt, who tells Phyllis privately tnai her husband's illness is neurasthenia. Allan gets the foolish notion into his head that his wife has fallen in love with healthy Dr. Hewitt, while he. Allan, is a physical wreck. He tells his astonished wife to get out of his sight, that he is sorry he ever saw her. etc. She goes. It is best to stop here at this stage. Here's To the Dsy, by T'harles Arnew Mac Lean and Frank BllEhton. George H. Doran Co., New York city. Our authors are the most enterpris lng of the season so far. War is lit erally in the air. It is the one topic, practically, of conversation. Mr. Mac Lean and Mr. Blighton are the first to write a novel on the present war in Europe and they are to be oongratu lated. Their novel is stirring and dramatic May it prosper to the ex tent of many copies being sold. "Here's to the Day" begins its reve lations in the sovereign state and Duchy of .Luxembourg, where Robert Cameron is united States diplomat. His daughter. Charlotte, is entertaining her admirer. Count von Hollman, when Dr. Fairfax Morgan, an American and also another admirer, appears, ac companied by his chauffer, Cornelius Healy, a Bowery boy from New York. Von Hollman pokes Ill-natured fun at Americans and British, ridicules their system of athletics and by a trick at Japanese wrestling throws Dr. Morgan. A rumbling fills the air, the great war is on. We read of fight ing in Belgium, court-martials, Zep pelins and stirring march of action. The Americans pictured in the novel are splendidly drawn, and the love story, although it is wisely subordin ated, is well told. The Final Verdict, by Sidney L. Vyborg". SI. J. B. Lippincott Co., Philadelphia. Six short stories of unusual power, supposed to be told by a young lawyer of his professional experiences. One of the most striking of these stories is where the lawyer-hero discovers that the woman who had seemed the symbol of purity and whose image he had secretly worshipped in his inner con sciousness had been lying to him and was really the' mistress of the cores pondent. Some of the splendidly fashioned character work in this book is worthy of Dickens. - The Secret of the Reef, by Harold Blndloss. tl.S'X Frederick A. Stokei Co., New York .

This splendidly written, morality play of woman In addition to its literary excellencies, has special signi ficance for neoola in Oregon, because its author is a. member of tne faculty at Reed College and because also she read the play, with fine taste, last Tuesday night, at the White Temple. It hae more than ordinary vision, high purpose, and is certain to be welcomed as a corner stone in the feminist move ment in this country. There are four speakers In this play Every wo man. Human Truth, Art and Flame-of-Llfe, but most of the action is carried along by the two former characters. Others of the latter are Th Singing Voices. The Woman on Life's Road. The Wasters, The Wasted One. The Joy Givers, The Flame Keep ers and The Heritage of Everywoman. For most of the time. Everywoman is represented, as a learner and as being in a state of wonder at the reve lations of the more experienced, practi cal Human Truth, who has a new voice. Tt shouM be noted that John Mar ehaii pnmnoiad the organ accompani ments for the prologue and the final chant, and that Miss Irene sstimson made the setting: for the Song of the Fawn Spirit.

The play proper begins with Flame of Life calling -Everywoman to awake, as Truth cometh. Everywoman asks. "Have I been long asleep? There came strange crying in my ear Awake, awake!'

Leaving Gualala. we followed the Coast and became more and more fas cinated with its rugged, picturesque beauty. Dozens of seals were disport ing in the water. The surf was tre mendous, dashing with fury against the rocks, where it broke in fine spray above huge ruffles of foam. I think I have never seen such heavy surf. In the many little inlets into which it rushed wifh added fury, the water was churned into a perfect cream, which ran . thick and heavy over the rocks and up the embankment, leaving a thick scum over everything. Whether the action of the surf had covered an intermingling of the clayey soil of the shore with the sea, or this was merely the effect of unusual churning, we could not determine.

While from a purely agri cultural point of view the country may not be promising, as a way of superb beauty it could not be surpassed. For Summer, or even Winter, country homes where space and distance are more de sired, than mere returns from the soil, it is perfect With it only a few hours from San Francisco, someone is losing an opportunity. rianfatlon of Southern Origin. Plantation, our noxt stop, has as the name implies, a Southern origin, evi denced by the long, narrow galleries running around the old inn, the many small outbuildings, and the treatment of the grounds. It is a comfortable stopping place. The next day we com pleted the steep climb to Seaview, an inn located at an elevation of 1450 feet straight up from the sea, and from which a magnificent view is obtained not only of the ocean but of the coun try back from it. We arrived early, and the day being beautiful, we could not endure the closeness of the inn, so went to a neighboring hilltop and built an Immense log fire, piling on pitch-loaded knots, which yellow-gold tongues of flame soon licked Into a furnace of crumbling heat. All afternoon we en Joyed our hilltop and our fire, the ocean far below, the patches or nveiy green, and not a human being In sight It was all our own wilderness, with the as durance of later comfort lent by the tinkllnsr of a far-away cowbell and the suggestion of smoke from a chimney that barelv ripened into view. The air wno balm v. We were bareheaded and did not even need our sweaters. Gurata Net Kxpeeted. None of these mountain inns expects Winter guests. We have usually been the only ones except a lono stagedrivtr or a passing road supervisor ox leie phone inspector. It has given us the impression of awaking sleeping inns and starting the wheels oi iraae an ior ourselves. The country continued hilly and beautiful the next day as we resumed our Journey, and the roads were excel lent This thing of the roads is an other matter on which the foot passen orr.i can take no resident's word. Everywhere since leaving Eureka we have been told that the roads beyond were impassable; that we could not possibly make it. And nownere nave we nerioui.lv muddied our boots.

Summer Resort Reached. At Cazadero we arrived at the first of the typical Summer resorts. Every thing was closed but a store and a makeshift inn. Here it began to rain in torrents. The next day we came on to Occidental, following the narrow gauge railroad, as the roads were un der water. The rain continuing, we are waiting here for better weather. At all events we are only oil miles rrora San Francisco, in settled country. We expect to complete tne mm-win- ter hike to San Francisco from Eureka in less than a month, tne time we al lowed ourselves. We have been de layed only a few days by bad weather and have .had no Illness or accidents. All have been lightly dressed, and the extra sweaters carried for cold weather have not been used. The men's packs weign approximate ly 25 pounds each, the women aDout nine pounds. All the members of the hiking party have gained weight Many Memories Gained. That is the purely physical part. I think we have all gained immeasurably in memories which we snail live over and over again In years to come when we must do our hiking by firesides and see our mountain roads in the leaping flames.

PENCIL IS FIRST TOOL (Continued Kri-m I'aiif W 1 the weather man. but In this list I have tried to suggest things that cani be depended upon to produce blooms during the month mentioned, although many of them will last through nioro than one month. The time of bloom ing of annuals depends largely upon the time sowing the seeds. Gen erally speaking It Is well to 1Pd upon bulbs for early Spring and tall. Most annuals are at their best In -Midsummer. Among the most easily grown an nuals are nasturtiums, which seed themselves so readily in this climate as to become almost a pest, ami sweet peas. The latter grow to such perfec tion in Oregon as to rival the rose for popularity. If the colors do not fight with the scheme of your garden, by all means h:ive some marigolds.

The seeds may be started either lr hot beds or In the beds where they are to bloom. The old-fashioned pot marigolds, popular in Shakespearos time, will continue lo bloom well In November If there are no hard frosts, and will usually withstand the Winter In this climate, blooming rarly in the Spring. Another splendid an nual for Fall bloom Is cosmos. The lacy foliage of the Mg. bushy plants form an excellent screen when one does not want to wait for shrubs to grow or may on usea ma m (trllrr blooming flowers. Larkspur and corn flowers are charming blue annuals for cutting.
