MAGAZINES REVIEWED.

FICTION AND ADVENTURE. We have to acknowledge the .’receipt of current magazines for review in the Times, from Messrs Gordon & Gctch. Ku Klux Klan takes pride of place in the current numb dr of the “Wide World,” and although the writer is unable to enlighten one as to the real secret of this mysterious society, the information given is highly inte.esting. “A Chnese Adventure,” by Baron de Balabre, is a good short story, while the narrative of a “Film Hunter on the Amazon” is highly .interesting. Enthralling stories of adventure in Africa and India are contained in what is a very good issue.

Very instructive is the first article in “My Magazine,” dealing with astronomical wonders, and finely ilustrated ■ Historical and archaeo logical articles of prime interest are profusely illustrated. To ithe lover of Nature the excellent plates of bird life will appeal, as will also those of manine creatures.

The “Red” magazine led off this month by the popular Ethel M Dell, is full of first-class fiction —the ideal book for idle hours. Fifteen well-told stories comprise the current number of the “Yellow Magazine,” the Knigh,tly Adventures of Sir. Archibald,” and “The Idol,” being decidedly diverting tales in a singularly good collection. Among the authors are Elaine Hamilton, Anthony Carlyle. Ak M. Burrage, and other well-known writers.

The “Girl in the Forest,” by Victor MacClure, and “The Beau fiful Merciless Lady,” by S. Aum mier are two excellently told tees of fiction in the ‘London” Magazine.

The “Grand,” the “Premier,” the “Novel,” and “Ce.sscl 1 ’ ” have also come to' hand, ancl < e brimful of good things, but time and newspaper space preclude review in this issue.
