THE AMERICAN MAGAZINE is turned out by the most illustrious group of 
workmen that has yet been assembled to make a magazine. Toiling together with heart 
and soul and mind, they write the best that can be written, and get from other pens the 
best that can be gotten—literature that lives and breathes and spurs to better living— 
illustrations that are true to life and nature.

M. Tarbell, F. P. Dunne (“Mr. Dooley”), Ray Stannard Baker, Lincoln Steffens and

A TRIP TO THE ORIENT, THE STORY OF A MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE. 
by Robert Urie Jacob, has been written at the request ot fellow travelers, who did 
not have time to take notes by the way. 
One said, “ Do not write a guide book nor a love story, but a simple narrative that 
will recall the incidents and delightful experiences of the tour. Following these 
suggestions the author has undertaken the work. 
An interesting feature of the book is the large number of illustrations made from 
artistic photographs, all of which have been contributed by amateur photographers. 
It contains nearly 200 illustrations of views or incidents in Funchal, Granada, Algiers, 
Malta, Athens, Constantinople, Jerusalem, Cairo, Luxor, Naples, and Nice, repro¬ 
duced from unpublished photographs. They enable the reader to see not only the 
historic places and ruins, the wonders of these Oriental lands, but also the people 
themselves in their various pursuits, giving to the book the very atmosphere of the 
countries described. 
The story was intended specially for voyagers who have visited the same places, 
but it should be equally interesting to those who are planning a similar trip. And 
those who must stay at home may in these pages be able to look through another s 
eyes at the places described. 
The book comprises 392 pages, printed on enamel finished paper, and contains nearly 
200 illustrations. Size, 5/4x8 inches. Bound m extra cloth—gold stamping.

THE CITY HALL, PERTH AMBOY, N. J. 
HP HE city hall is a historical building. 
It was erected by the English 
Colonial Government in 1767, for a 
town hall and court-house, and within 
its massive brick walls many of the stir¬ 
ring appeals were made, and most im¬ 
portant actions taken, which marked the 
stormy period of the Revolution. For 
many years it was used as a public school 
and in 1871 was enlarged and altered by 
the city at considerable expense. It 
was here that the New jersey Board of 
Proprietors celebrated, in 1884, the two 
hundredth anniversary of its existence. 
In 1888 the building was badly damaged 
by fire, but was rebuilt and has since 
been used for municipal purposes.— Ex¬

CASTS FROM THE COLUMN OF MAR¬ 
CUS AURELIUS 
[" TPON one of the busiest squares in 
^ the heart of Rome, the Piazza 
Colonna, stands one of the world’s most 
famous monuments. It is the Column 
of Marcus Aurelius, a high pillar, built 
of twenty-eight immense blocks of white 
marble toward the end of the second 
century in honor of that Emperor’s 
victorious return from the war with the 
Marcomanni. Just at present much in¬ 
terest is roused by the investigation by 
German and Italian archaeologists of the 
reliefs running up around the column. 
These, with the reliefs on the column of 
Trajan, form the best source of infor¬ 
mation as to the culture of our Teu¬ 
tonic forefathers, their arms, garb, etc. 
There has never before been a complete 
picture taken of the reliefs on the col¬ 
umn, and in order to do it thoroughly a 
scaffold has been raised alongside the 
column to the height of the crown, one 
hundred Roman feet above the ground. 
A square frame is suspended from the 
top, and supports a platform upon which 
all the work is done. Professor Petersen, 
Secretary of the Archaeologic Institute of 
Rome, superintends the making of the
