"Then Walter went to bed and read ike.
Encyclopaedia Britannica," ,
so runs a story in one of the current magazines,!
It was hot a joke. That was the way he found
enjoyment i
Yei millions of people would regard the' volumes of
the Encyclopaedia Britannica as the last books in the
world to be full of fascinating reading. But they are. i
Here are stories of How Captain Kidd Went Wrong (ho was a
New York shipowner up to 50); and about Sir Henry Morgan, the
Buccaneer; about Hereward the Wake, and Ivanhoe, and Barba
rossa, and Robert the Bruce, and Davy Crockett, and scores of
other boyish heroes. You can learn .here how long a toad lives,
or why a snake can't cross ice : about Kite-flying, and measuring
the wind; about the work or earthworms, or why dew falls,
or what makes lightning, or how to tell mushrooms, or why a
chameleon changes its color;
scores nnd hundreds of interesting things for wide-awakS
ambitious boys and girls and grown-ups, too.
(Of course the first and foremost tiling that one seeks in an
encyclopaedia is that it will answer pretty nearly'every question
that any human being can put tq it that he can rely upon ijt as
the highest authority and that it shall be up-to-date. Tho Ency
clopaedia Britannica in its new Eleventh Edition is all this; but it
is a huge mine of good reading as well.)
There are 41 ,000 articles in the new EncyclopaediaBritannica.
They are not heavy; they are not.dull. Every one of them is
written by an expert, many by the highest living authority.
They tell you eyerything you want to know, about pretty much
everything on earth, and they tell it with interest and eharnv K
You can go exploring in the new Britannica for weeks or for
months and every day Find something new. Take for example
a dozen subjects at random, like these :
Tho New "Handy Volume" Ihuo of the Encyclopaedia Britannica Is a marvel of
lightness and compactness 32 indies of shelf rpom ; weighs 62 pounds. You .can
move it around the room or putitin your trunk when you're away for the summer.
Business and Trade
Here aro endless articles about
tobacco or rubber or leather or sugar

and Stocks nndBonds and Labor Leg
islation and Arbitration and Profit
SharingandBankruptcyjeveryphase of practical economics llko Bimetal
lism, Free Trade, and the Theory of
Exchange and why prices rise and
fall. And nearly all of theso articles
are written by the most distinguished
living economists.
Sports and Games
Every known game, indoor as well
as outdoor, ancient and modern, is
described in the new Britannica- 2ft4
articles on these subjects alone. All

every farm, small ns well as large.

formation about every aspect of mod
ernfarmlng, dairying, chicken rais
ing and no end of similar things.
The Householder's Needs
If you are or hope to be tho
owner of a home, there is no more
fascinating study than that of build
ing or enlarging a house. And it Is
