Two new books, "The Land of Prester John" by Elaine Sanceau and "Mr. Tompkins Explores the Atom" by George Gamow, have been added to the Alcove to in terest readers of travel, adven ture, science, and history. For those who read tales of travel and faraway places, "The Land of Prester John" will be especially enjoyable. The story of Prester John, legendary ruler of an undiscovered country, is the story of a region as fascinating: to the early Europeans as the mountains of the moon and nearly as inaccessible. Not until the late 15th century did Prester John pass from the realm of legend to assume his place as a potential ally against the Portuguese in Ethiopia. The chronicle is high lighted by fabulous tales of a queen marooned on a mountain fortress -approachable only by means of a pulley basket and of lofty hermitage inhabited only by mummies. "The Land of Pres ter John" is a book which dc scribes a curious, almost forgot ten, bypath of history. Mr. Tompkins, the modest bank clerk of "Mr. Tompkins in Won derland," is now happily married and in this book Mr. Gamow takos him and his wife through the processes of learning about the atom. Mr. Tompkins learns the mysteries of atomic nucleus by watching the tricks performed for him by an unusual person who seems to resemble Gepetto in "Pinocchio;" he goes dancing with an atom of chlorine and is annihilated in the encounter with a murderous positron. Through Mr. and Mrs. Tompkins expert ences Professor Gamow trans lates into everyday language the vast store of information now available concerning the atom. was Denver has a city owned Dark oi za.uuu acres.
