Boehler, though highly regarded in Central Europe, is an artist comparatively unknown to the American art public. Following the lead of Cezanne, Gaugin, Picasso, and Matisse, his paintings have a hazy quality which make them difficult to understand at first glance. With a little study, however, the colors come out with a vibrancy which is usually found only in stained glass windows or a mosaic...
...these three phenomena show a close correlation with sunspot activity and particularly with the passage of an active sunspot group across the central area of the sun's disc; the aurorae, borealis and australis, perform beautifully, magnetic compasses oscillate to and fro over a small amplitude centered at their normal position, and long distance radio reception is either improved or hampered. In connection with the last of these it should be said that whether reception is improved or hampered depends upon the wavelength of the signals and other factors related to radio transmission. The assumed validity of a correlation...

Hit and miss Mr. Carmer picks up local anecdotes, Indian superstitions, regional customs, scenic wonders, as he goes. It is a peculiar system of newsgathering he uses, here depending on what he sees and knows, here taking in the stories...
...done more thorough and more accurate work. As it is, he passes a good many localities rich with the treasure of romance; he disposes of the great Adirondacks with nothing more than an account of some winter lumbering activities, points out that cock-fighting can still be found in Central New York near Hamilton (as in a great many other places in York State), passes on a few old stories, investigates superficially a few racial-regional types, and lets it go at the that...
