...last week, there was a lake in California's subsea level inferno. One Perry Brite, Kerr County supervisor, stood on Dante's Lookout and saw that 50 miles of the sink had become covered with water. In the memory of none of the inhabitants of the Valley region had so much rain fallen or so much seepage accumulated from distant snows. When the waters disappear the length and breadth of that blistering desert will be a wilderness of wildflowers, bluebells, poppies, buttercups, Indian paintbrush. A little moisture caused this to happen two years ago. Then the heat will...
When the four hour truce between Japanese and Chinese at Shanghai was called last week (see p. 21) officials hurried through the Woosung region hustling non-combatants to safety. They found a small hotel peppered with lead from both sides in the bombardment of the Woosung Forts. The vegetable garden adjoining it was pock-marked by shells.

He could reach the region by way of Russia and Siberia. But then he would be obliged to traffic with the Russians, a business which would displease the museum's supporters. So he will remain in Manhattan this winter and spring, writing up his past activities and warding off the verbal assaults of women explorers who, he declared last week, are fitted neither temperamentally nor physically...
...Manchuria is such that both Russia and Japan could use it to great advantage, Russia because it needs a seaport which is not ice-bound in the winter months, and Japan because it has no place to expand on the continent of Asia and Manchuria is the most accessible region for this expansion...
