.' We are glad to welcome a novel about the automobile, says the New York Sun. We have the news instinct and. we like timely tilings. The devil wagon is full of moods atjid whims, in the matter oi'its behavior it is capable of sudden and

high

contrasts. The velvet of its conduct may turn instantly to distressing prickles. Only a day or two ago we saw a: lady

courting

caresses from her beloved dog,

a cocker spaniel. To the dog it seemed as though the psychology of the moment called for repose rather than demonstrative affection. The selJish and stupid animal growled in response to each priceless blandishment. It acted like a contrary devil wagon and provoked the same quick and natural resentment, "lviss your: mother,"—Bang!—this represents the highly contrasted and startling sequence of feeling and act on the part of the lady, exasperated by the animal's unwillingness. Ah often as she invited him and he growled in surly protest she boxed his ears. Inasmuch as he persisted she possessed herself of a billet of wood, with which at each expression of recalcitrance she struck him sharply upon the nose.

We have thought of this ladv and her "Kiss your mother"—Bang! in reading "The Lightning Conductor," by C. N. and A. M. Will in in.son. (Henry Holt & Co.) '"Something happened! to the car on the average every hour. Chains snapped or came off, if the belts didn't break they were too short or too long, mysterious squeaks made themselves heard: the crank head got hot (what head wouldn't?) and we had to wait until it thought fit to cool. For a few miles we went with reasonable speed and 110 mishaps but half way up a long, long hill the mystic "'power" vanished once more and there we were stranded nearly opposite a forge, from which strolled three huge black-faced men adorned with pitying smiles. 'Hire them to push,'J said despairingly."

This was in France, and more things happened in Spain and Italy, where Miss Mollie Randolph of New York went exploring in her devil wagon with an aunt who was not in sympathy with the machine, and a chauffeur who was a more exalted personage than he purported to be. They were mobbed in France, where they ran down a peasant, hurting him not seriously. The crowd and the injured peasant wanted to hold them up and blackmail them. The bogus chauffeur tells how they got out of the scrape. "I knew" he records, "that a union which held the exhaust pipe in place on the silencer had been working loose. I grabbed a, spanner out of the tool box and elbowing my way along the side of the car again, with two turns of the spanner loosened the union, pushed forward the throttle lever in the steering post and gave the motor all its gas."'

We who have seen something of the devil wagons can imagine the result. "The thing was done,'' we read "in a quarter the time it's taken me to write of it, and you can guess the effect. Bang! bang! came a succession of explosions quick and pitiless as a Maxim gun. Those peasants gave way like wheat before the scythe. I don't doubt they thought they were shot and on the way to kingdom

come and before they'd time to find out their mistake I was up on the step, had seized the steering wheel and started the car. We Mere on a slight decline, and the good steed bounded 'forward at the rate of fifteen miles an hour. An instant later I slipped in the fourth, and we were going forty-five."

We have seen devil wagons going at what the drivers call forty-five miles an hour. We have never doubted that the real rate was one hundred and forty-five The futility of any proceedings on the part of the peasants will be obvious to those who know anything about such matters. We read: "When the enemy saw how they'd been tricked, which they did in about six seconds, they were after us with a howl." Fancy anybody chasing a devil wagon which has had six seconds the start. The machine must have been an agitated. speck in the distance. "A shower of stones fell harmlessly on the road behind us." Of course it did. Tliink of Ajax blowing putty balls at the lightning. The devil wagon drowned the mob in* a humiliating noise. "Angry yells were drowned in the hideous noise of the exhaust." The peasants had no magic saddles or seven-league boots. "We could afford to laugh at the thought of pur-

1

suit." Fancy Miss'1*: do ph wnting to her fi'-hor "My wingless angel, I am alone 'ina hotel—with Brown." Hrown was the bogus chauffeur. Bogus o- not, he could drive a devil wagon. We have iust ?ccn him whisking off to an accompanimcnt of unearthly noises at the rate of fortyfive miles an hour. The story is made up of letters from Mollie Randolph to her father and from Brown to his friend

Lend Lane, We have no means of knowing exactly what the parental Randolph thought when his daughter wrote: "Dad, dear, Brown is splendidi. He has revealed .Naples-to me. We should have gone the ordinary round if it hadn't been for him Wc shouldn't have known any better than to stop in some big obvious sort of hotel instead of coming here to Parker's where the air is pure and some of the most, beautiful things in the world in '4 sight without tinning our heads. It is such a homelike hotel, and instead of

Rending

to England for marmalade made

of Sicilian oranges, the way all the other hotels seem to do. they made ft themselves nut of jKieir own oranges: and it's a poem. W^'ve been up Vesuvius, not in

*£«.. w-S

the daytime, like the humdrum tourists, but by torchlight, and we saw the moon rise. But in Pompeii—oh, I can't tell you what I felt there I didn't feel as if any one else had ever been there since it was diug up, except Brown and me—and of course Aunt Mary." At the end of the book we find a telegram from Brown to his friend Lord Lane. It is revelatory. It reads: "Congratulate me. It's all right,"

The devil wagon passed hotly and precariously through interesting scenes and its mad flight was attended by a pleasant and felicitous romance.

"The Western Slope" is. the title of a small volume of essays by Celia Parker Woollcy, to be issuedi early in March by William S. Lord, publisher, Evanston, Illinois. "The Western Slope" is a phrase which designates the afternoon period of life, that of maturer judgment and reflection, of enlarged sympathies and softened beliefs. Under this caption the writer reviews the general progress of ideas in matters of education, religion and social activity. As a writer, preacher and lecturer Mrs. Woollcy has been actively identified) with many of the reform and culture movements of the day and is qualified to speak on her chosen themes. She talks for the most part in her own person, but at times in dialogue with other characters of a typical order, some, of whose, originals may pique curiosity. The tone of the essays is thoroughly helpful and optimistic, springing from a cheery belief in the worth of common things and man's'present, estate.

Light and Heavy Literature. "Alas, alack!" the reader sighed Who held a magazine, "This modern literature is quite

The heaviest there has 'bean' I've read the classics every one, From Homer down to 'Zack,' But never yet before I met

A book that broke my back." His wife had heard the piteous plaint, And later, quite unseen, Cut all advertisements from out

Her husband's magazine And when he read the pages three Which she had left that night, He said, "I find this literature

Now seems extremely light." —William Wallace Whitelock in Criterion.

Robt. Thompson of Chicago, having lost a dear brother by death, wrote to the scientists, philosophers and clergymen of eminence in the world, seeking what consolation they could give him out of the fullness of their knowledge with respect to the continued existence of the soul after death. Many answered clearly, earnestly and soberly, setting forth their opinions, and these opinions Mr. Thompson has put into a book, "The Proofs of Life After Death." It is a curious and interesting work, such as only the present generation could produce. In what other age could men of the most divergent views, from utmost faith in revealed religion to straightforward decla rations of man's utter extinction with the grave, come peaceably together and free their minds?

It would be interesting, if space permitted, to run through these answers, giving names of individuals, their faiths, their reasons therefor. But the numbers are too many. Mr. Thompson has divid-. ed them into groups. Of all these the psychical research group is, outside of orthodox believers, the most comforting, the most positive, the readiest with concrete information. The scientists and philosophers deduce their beliefs from studying the body, and though they come to the conclusion in almost all instances in this book that man does not go down to dust to end there—that the essence continues afterward—they are not strong on the nature of the future, and they do not say much for continued personal identity. And so far as most of us are concerned, our interest in the question ceases if personal identity be destroyed. It matters little what becomes of us if individual consciousness be extinguished.

The psychical researchers speak for personal identity, but the weak utterances of their ghosts or spirits make the future life as pallid a thing as it was to the Greeks. We feel with the old Greek that we'd rather be cross-sweepers in the city of the living than reign monarchs over such dead. That such a noted man as the scientist, Professor Crooks, should believe from the evidence of his senses that spiritism is the gate to future revelations, substantiating his statements by strange experiences, gives the mocker pause. From such a book as this it would seem as if the psychical researchers had the best of it—that theirs is the way of promise. But how bleak it all is, how meager the results, compared with the positive statements of revealed religion!

Another volume of kindred nature is written by Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage of New York, the Unitarian clergyman. It bears the title "Can Telepathy Explain?" The author has attempted an intelligent defense of spiritualism, with all its phenomena of raps, apparitions, voices, music, warnings and the like. He does not aver that these things could not possibly be done by agencies other than spirits, but he knows no theory that can explain them otherwise.

To his mind telepathy cannot explain certain "manifestations" that he has had. From his own experience he believes he has proofs that spirits speak through mediums such as Mrs. Piper of Boston. He says that facts new to him have been revealed to him through mediums. Once he had. a message ..from.

his dead son asking him to dcstioy certain papers. Neither he

1101

anybody

else knew the papers were in existence or so he believes—and when he set about to destroy them he discovered that they were indeed unsafe to leave around. He cites many other examples of spirit visits that have fallen within his own experience.

Dr. Savage says he does not believe in the supernatural. If spirits exist and are capable of taking part in human affairs, then they belong to the natural order. That is a mere quibble on the meaning of a word. But so far as Dr. Savage can see, all matter-of-fact theories arc inadequate to account for the facts as he has experienced them. Only two theories are advanced. One is that they are due to telepathy, the other that they are the work of invisible intelligence The doctor inclines to the latter theory, but adds "If somebody can explain my facts in some other way, I should be bound to consider what he had to offer."

The book is written in an exceedingly readable style, in chapters that are short, crisp and to the point. Its tone of inquiry rather than of dogmatism makes it worthy of a hearing, no matter what' one's convictions on the subject of disembodied spirits may be. Some of the personal experiences adduced, and the author's explanation of them, are impressive, if not convincing.

The most important work upon which Arthur Morrison is engaged just now is a volume 011 the painters of Japan. There is 110 really adequate account of .Japanese painters in any European tongue. Mr. Morrison has had access to good native authorities and he has also had placed at his disposal a quantity of information hitherto unpublished in any language from manuscript notes retained in-the families of Japanese painters and amateurs of art.

Mr. Morrison, as is well known, has a valuable collection of Japanese paintings. He will draw upon them for his illustrations, while the British Museum will also be laid under contribution. The book will probably be published in the autumn, but this is uncertain, as Mr. Morrison is one of the most unmethodical workers in existence. He is a. man who goes for months without writing a line then he will work twenty-three hours on end. He has taken weeks over a single chapter of a novel in which line of work Mr. Morrison is best known. He has also on the other hand written a story of nearly 10,000 words in a day.

As a rule Mr. Morrison writes slowly— writes a little, then corrects a little. He lias found it necessary to rewrite a manuscript only once in his life. That was a chapter in "The Hole in the Wall."

Another writer, who writes slowly, but more steadily than Mr. Morrison, is W. F. Alexander, who will be remembered as the successful author of "The Court Adjourns." He is at present writing a story which by some may be accounted somewhat sensational, but Avhicli others who take the trouble to discriminate may describe in more appreciative terms. Mr. Alexander is engaged on another novel.

In speaking of Mr. Alexander one is reminded of the remark of his ancestor: "Worship is a thing of the past nowadays we worship posterity." Whether this be true or not, it seems fairly clear that his historical novel is to some extent giving place to the novel which discusses our descendants. II. G. Wells is by no means alone. Another book, entitled "The Thews of England," by Patrick Vaux, which will tell the story of an imaginary naval war in the near future between Great Britain and the combined continental powers, is published by Mr. Heinemann.

The novel, "Penruddock of the Lambs" affords a lively picture of the way Charles II. spent his time at The Hague while waiting for the death of the Protector, and also an impressive contrast between the license that prevailed in the Dutch capital and the order of the English court under Cromwell. Penruddock was a colonel in the duke of Newcastle's regiment, popularly known as the "White Lambs," which came from the field of Marston Moor with uniforms died red with blood. Of the few that escaped that day of carnage Penruddock was one, and he joined with the boisterous crowd at The Hague and rioted and starved with them for love of beautiful Blanche Caveiidish.

A plot Avas hatched theVe to assassinate the Protector. Penruddock decided to fell it, for the sake of the king'-s honor as well as of humanity. The mission takes him secretly to England and into the presence of the Protector, and it brings him the acquaintance of a little Puritan maid, "who is instrumental in getting him condemned as a conspirator. In the permutations that ensue many peculiarities of England of that day are pictured, including the going out of colonists for America. There arc ships fighting at sea, a shipwreck, Indian scenes and a final reconciliation 011 the shores of New England.

Milton and the Protector talk together before us. Milton recites casually his fine lines beginning, "A good book is the precious life blood of a master spirit," and they plan to answer the famous pamphlet, "Elkon Basilike." The attempt at verisimilitude is not half badly done. Most of the characters are historical, but not the principal ones. This is a better idea, by the way. than to choose' real people for heroes and heroines, as tiiey prove too often to be entirely unnialleable and spoil the story.

SUBMARINE WARFARE

CALLS ON ENGLAND TO BUILD ,. DESTROYERS

MUST KEEP PACE WITH WORLD

London Journal Declares Submarine Torpedo Boat Is Practical Mechanical Implement. ,K

The following is an English .view of the submarine warfare problem The results of the experiments carried on by the French with various types oi submarine boats in the English channel at Cherbourg again brings forward the importance of this question. The value of such experiments cannot be overrated, especially a3 Ave ourselves have not, up to the present, had similar opportunities? for studying the practical utility of submarine boats on so broad a basis. The French have noAV for many years been giving their best scientific and experimental study of this question: they have built many different types of boats, and they may now be said to have proved their value. The recent maeuvers are of special significance to ourselves, as they have taken, place so closely to our important harbors and in a locality which Avould probably serve as a basis for preparatory mobilization for an attack on our principal anchorages. Moreover, while the value of the submarine for the defence of ports and channels has been accepted without challenge, the uptility of such craft for offensiee attack has not been definitely established until noAV, when the accomplishment of the objects of the experiments at Saint Yaast la Ilougue has been demonstrated.

Such experiments have clearly proved, as recorded, in the official report published in La Moniteur de la Flotte, that submarines can leave their central station unobserved by vessels placed for the special purpose of Avatching them, and that a (icet will never be secure in an anchorage situated Avithin their radius of action. In fact, for a fleet to be really safe it Avould be necessary for it to be shut up in a closed harbor, the entrance of Avhicli is protected for its Avhole depth against submarine action. Othenvise it Avill be necessary for it to take to sea, and to steam at considerable speed, in order to obtain security.

The maneuvers have also proved that a naval lorce Avould commit a serious fault in anchoring Avithin the radius of action of submarines and thirdly, that the lookout on vessels or other positions to obtain evidence of the approach of submarines is futile, and that the protection of ships at anchor against such attack cannot be secured by means of artillery. Such deductions as the French experiments haA7e established suggest great changes in naval tactics and point to the advantage of submarine boat flotillas. •. .3^

At the present time the government of France have at their disposal thirty-fiA'e submarine boats, and will possess in a very feAv months some seventy in all, capable of taking the sea. Of course, all of these seventy boats are not equally efficient, for the French experiments, both in the Mediterranean and in the Channel, show that, far greater service can be obtained from the large boat capable of keeping the sea in all Aveathers, with a fair amount of comfort to the crews, than could possibly be obtained by the smaller craft. But these latter have their duties Avhicli would principally lie in the direction of coast and harbor protection, and they would constitute a great menace to even a blockde by small vessels of the "destroyer" type. The large French submergibles—such as the NarA*al, the Espadon, Sirene, Silure, Triton, etc., are formidable Aveapons, as they can proceed from the security of harbors on the French coast, and, without even coming to the surface, can attack any vessel cruising even at high speedi, providing she passes Avithin torpedo range or they could sink some of the heaviest and most important mercantile marine vessels making the passage in the Channel. The same advantage Avould apply to the smaller craft belonging to the French government, provided they could manage to get within torpedo range, which is 110AV 2,000 meters.

It is reasonable to suppose that should Ave unfortunately find ourselA'es at war with Fiance, the French government Avould at once place even the small vessels in the British Channel, and dispose them at certain intervals, so that if a vessel passing up the Channel should come betAveen the line or lines of such boats they Avould be .Avithin effective torpedo range. A successful shot from one of them against a first-class battleship might, at one stroke, Avipe out a million sterling, and some 800 or 900 trained seamen Avould could be ill-spared. The scoffings of ignorant people at the submarine boat Avould then be of no avail and surely it is time that, in vieAV of the practical experiences we hare had already Avith our own submarine boats, son#vi.:— Tilnee this country in possession of as many, if not many more, of these craft than are at present owned and in operation by the French government. The French have shown us that with their larger boats they can proceed from their harbors when carefully watched by ships specially stationed for the purpose, and proceed, submerged and unobserved, "for" six hours' steaming to their points of attack, effectively discharge their torpedoes, and retreat unobserved. Such information should be taken to heart by our admiralty. These experiments were, we believe, carried out under the strictest service conditions, and by sailors certainly of no greater skill than our own. We also believe that the boats utilized were not superior to the boats of our navy, which we are able at present to see operating at Spithead.

From the experiments Avhich are being carried out at Portsmouth Ave learn that the British boats are capable of a moderate speed on the surface and a fair speed

below the surface .that they can be quickly submerged, and from the fact of their having steamed through a rough sea in the Irish Channel, and having successfully reached port at Portsmouth, that they are capable of holding their OAvn in moderate seas. Reports from America shoAV that the trials Avith the Fulton have given much success, and we understand that our boats, are, at all events, in no way inferior,

The effect of the possession of submarine boats by France in the Channel is not less important than the effect their presence Avill have in the Mediterranean. We know that for many months past the French have been strengthening their ports in the north of Africa that both the ports of Oran and Algiers are situated strategically in most important positions relative to Gibraltar, and that Bizcrta and Tuiiis are equally Avell placed for operations connected Avith the island, of Malta. At the present moment we are spending huge sums of money in the development of naval Avorks at both these places, Avith a view of, their being utilized for the headquarters of our fleet. To this France responds by creating effective bases for the operations of submarine and other torpedo craft-. Let us not lose sight of the importance of these strategic movements. There Avill be no satisfaction in declaring, if we ever find many of our important ships closed up in a harbor by French submarine boats that Ave did not anticipate the danger. We ought rather to accept the valuable information obtained by the French at Cherbourg, and take to heart the meaning of those operations. We must not forget the important part submarine boats will take in the defence of harbors such as Alexandria and Port Said, or in kthc closing of the Dardenelles. The French ports in the Mediterranean are far better placed than our for dealing with the building and equipping of submarine boats and other small torpedo craft, and in the event of Avar they would have the Avhole strength of the country applied to the purpose of building in these ports more boats for the effective prosecution or a Avar after it had commenced.

When the value of torpedo boats was first ascertained, Ave Avere SIOAV to folloAv Avith any energy the action of the French and it Avas some time before

In convincing others of our condition, as a deterrent influence against appealing to the arbitrament of war rather than to calm diplomatic reasoning, there must be no uncertain factors. Hitherto it has been possible to measure naval poAver Avith a fair approximation to accuracy, largely because there Avas experience of all the munitions of warfare, even if there Avas no general agreement as to a precise standard of comparison. Russia built her Rurie, Ave build the PoAverful, France began her armored cruisers Avith the Dupuy de Lome, and continued Avith many fine ships Ave followed, perhaps tardily with our Cressy and our County classes Russia and France built fast scouts, and we construct our 25-knot boats France pins her faith on fast torpedo boats, Ave counteract with a great fleet of torpedo boat destroyers. But noAV an element of uncertainty is introduced in the submarine boats, and there is only one rule to fol-

IOAV.

Evidently the neAv Aveapon is not yet perfect, but it is now a practical mechanical implement of AA-arfare, Avith immense tactical possibilities. In this conviction France, as Ave ha\re shoAvn, is building an immense fleet, and the effect will almost certainly be to create such a confidence in the advantage they confer as to disturb at least the French VieAV of relative naval strength. That this confidence on the part of France is not misplaced is proved by the results of the recent tactical exercises, and by the expressed determination of the minister of marine to prosecute the work of building up a great submarine fleet.

On the Rush.

Among the projects announced in St. Louis are elevated roads, subways, boulevards greater than any now existing, new hotels and theaters, a big postoffice extension, pneumatic tubes and many others of a strikingly extensive character. All these are permanent betterments. They will continue in ope&tion after the World's Fair. The reason for their creation is not the fair, but the general, vital prospects of the most central city of North America, the metropolis of the Mississippi valley. Until the Railroad News reckoned up the local railroad improvements at $85,000,000 few citizens comprehended that the total reached so great an amount. So it is here with other branches of activity, and in manufacturing as well as general trade. The new St. Louis is coming with giant strides.

Mr. Carnegie's New Home. Mr. AndreAv Carnegie has acquired at a font of j45,000 a'new home near Dunfsrmline, where he Avas born. The estate purchased is that of Pittencrieff, which includes the beautiful glen of Pitternerieff and the time-worn old house of Pittencrrieff.. The grounds are exquisitely beautiful, but the historic associations are not their least attraction. Malcolm Canmoore's ToAver is situated within the grounds and here it was that the Scottish king maried St. Margaret, the Saxon princess, who fled to Scotland for refuge from the Norman invaders. The place in Ithc Firth of Froth where her ship cast anchor is a small bay called St. Margaret's Hope and Queensferry, where the kaiser recently sailed for Germany. is named after her.

really and seriously in a position to meet them on equal terms. The operations of a torpedo boat are principally confined to night Avork, and their strategic value can be neutralized by the building of larger and faster boats capable of attacking the smaller ones with success. A submarine boat, hoAveArer, is capable of effective Avork by day night. Such a boat is practically invulnerable to attack and cannot be combatted, except by building superior boats and in greater numbers.
