IHINA'S "GREAT WALL OF SCULP- 
TURE" — Hundreds of thousands of 
Buddhist images, carved nearly 15 
centuries ago in cliffs of rock, look 
down from man-hewn caves in northern Shansi

National Geographic Magazine in full-color 
paintings, 23 photographs, and a personal nar- 
rative by Mary Augusta Mullikin.

Where Guernsey Cows Are Bred — On that 
friendly island in the English Channel from

other major industry — hothouse farming — is 
told by Alfred ,S. Campbell in a story of his 
visit to Guernsey, illustrated with 39 natural- 
color and monochrome pictures.

lating adventures of his voyage in the Alice f he

places, and strange superstitions and customs 
in the West Indies of today. Among the is-

able series of natural-history articles. Dr. Wil- 
liam M. Mann, Director of the National

wild. His study will be illuminated with color- 
ful portrait paintings of 50 monkeys. 
New Mexico Next in State Series — In a coming 
presentation of the “Sunshine” Slate, Frederick 
Simpich calls New Mexico "an easy place to
