THE FIELD OF LITEEATUEE

Dr. Jordan's Science Sketches. President JordaD, of the Stat University, i tb author of a series of 'Science- Sketches' just issued from the publishing house of A. C. M eClnrg & Co., of Chicago. President Jordan is best known to the world of science by his paper s on fishes, which comprise over 200 titles ind 6,000 printed pages, mainly in eoTment reports, and proceedings of scientific societies In this rast labor, all the work of the last thirteen years, he has had the assistance of Prof. C H. Gilbert, of the University of Cincinnati, and between them they have described over 400 species new to science. The present volume has little to do with fishss in any technical way. It conlists of a number of uncorrected sketches and .addresses coming more or less distinctly under the head of Popular Science. The "Story of a Balmon," the "Johnny Darters'' and the "Story of a Stone," are three nature serials of a piece by themselves, sui generis, and are read by young and old alike with all the interest that attaches to Uncle Remu3 or to the tales of Hans Anderssen. Prof. Herbert E. Copeland is mainly responsible for the "Johnny Darter" story, as it previously appeared in St. Nicholas. The darters are a family of little fishes, the most brilliant in color of the finny tribe, representing every rainbow hue, and making the brightest forest birds and foliage seen plain and dull by comparison. They are very common in Indian streams, and were made a special study by Prof. Copeland in 1874-6, who indeed lost his life from exposure in collecting Johnny Darters from the White river December 1876. The "Story of a Salmon" is written in a bland and child-like style of narration, which is inimitable, but under the guise of simplicity it pave the first accurate knowledge of the life nistory of this important food fish known to science. It has been a popular lecture to youne folks. Itisthe scientific summary of three months' study of the salmon fisheries of the Columbia river. Its technical counterpart is the essay of fifty paees on "The Salmon Family," which is a complete history of the moftt important family of food fishes. The "Story of a Stone" is a complete history of the geological succession, and was suggested by a piece of drift-coral "petrified honey comb," brought to President Jordan by a pupil when teaching in the the Appleton high-schooL Youne JicKar, the lad who was so curious about this bit of coral drift, followed his teacher to lButler University, then to the State Uni versity, graduated, went to Alaska in the government service, and lost his life while collecting birds among the Aleutian islands. But the Itory of the stone that commenced life as a little jelly fish "in those old days when the great Northwest consisted of a few ragged and treeless hills, full of copper and quartz, bordered by i dreary waste of sand fiats, over which the Enlf of Mfxico rolled its warm and turbid waters ts far north as Escanaba and Eau Claire; when the tide of the Pacifio ocean swept over Plymouth Roek, and surged up against Bunker Hill" still perpetuates McKay's memory in the most charming and instructive geological romance in the English language. It has been widely copied in educational journals, and is tad daily by thousands of children in Sheldon's Aeries of school readers. Three of President Jordan's school institute and college lectures have permanent form in this volume: "An Ascent of the Matterhorn."-a charming bit of mountain romance, spiced with enough of peril to keep the reader in almost constant fear. This adventure Das been recited a hundred times before Indiana audiences, and while the least valuable of the series, has proven the most popular. Of far more interest to botanists and zoologists Is the essay on "An Eccentric Naturalist," Constantino Samuel Rafinesque, "who seventy years ago crossed the falls of the Ohio into Indiana, the first student of Western fishes." Rafinesque was a monomaniac on "new species." "He saw the tendency of diverging varieties to form new species, and was as eager to anticipate nature and his fellow botanists as well, that he gave new names to each variety he found until he had described twice as many fishes, plants and shells as really existed in the regions over which he traveled. He once sent a paper for publication, seriously describing twelve new species of thunder and lightnine which he had observed near the falls of the Ohio." This ' brought the good work he did into discredit; bnt to Agaseiz and Jordan is due the merit of having recognized his great value to science, and the latter has restored such of his names of fishes as are good to their place in systematic ichthyology. Strange, uncouth, suspicious by nature, loving no man or woman, Rafinesque died unnoticed and was buried by stealth by a few loving friends, to save his bones being sold to a medical college to pay his garret rent. His "Ichthyology Ohiensis' now sells for fifty. dol-; lars, and of his weird but entrancing biography only the copy in the Library of Congress is known. Bat he was the friend of Owen and Maclure, at their New Harmony experiment, and hia work on plants and fishes was the first that Europe and the East had from Indiana, and bis name is now rescued from obloquy and dishonor. The most important scientific paper in this book is the one relating to the "Dispersion of Fresh-water Fishes." It is a profound study of the conditions under which fishes now live, such as climate, hydrographio basins, kind of water, bottom, current, etc; the c-uses which have produced variation in the past as the gradual growth of the continent, mountain unheavals, sea invasions, glacial period and the like and finally a summarization of the characters and possible origin of each of the thirty-four natural families, including nearly 600 species, of the fresh water fishes of North America. This essay lies along the line of work done by Darwin and Wallace on distribution of animal life. Agassiz, Coke and Gunther have eaoh made some generalizations as to distribution of fishes, but only until a great part of the waters of interior North America had been seined and their fishes classified conld anything more than guesswork be accomplished. There need be no hesitation in stating that President Jordan has stated the problem of distribution with greater force and done more toward its solution, if that be possible, than any other worker who has confined himself to any single group of animals. Aside from its bearing on evolution and nature of species, the economic value of this work is of great moment; but that is to the naturalist an incidental and subordinate question. Such work is not done with reference to buttering of parsnips. The closing essay of this book, on the "Evolution of the College Curriculum," as also the essay on Darwin, has not hitherto been published. Its author is evidently as much at home with the' deep problem of college education as with children's science stories and the vexed problem of animal evolution and distribution. He is at the head of the educational system of Indiana and has passed up easily from the rank of high-school teacher, and therefore speaks with the authority of observation and experience. President Jordan has nttered the best word that basever been said on this important subject. It is a plea for culture rather than bachelor's degrees. "The high-schools are in the patchwork era; they try to be universities in a small way." He would make their work less, and more thorough. The book closes with an appendix giving the titles and places of publication of the 214 papers issued by President Jordan since 1S72. Tnese vary from a page only to volumes of over a thousand pages. Sew Hooks. "The Missing Sense, and the Hidden Things which it Might Reveal, or Spiritual Fhilosophy Treated on a Rational Basis," by Dr. C. W. Woodbridge. The main purpose of this work is to show, from observed fact aud necessary reason, the existence and reality of spiritual intelligence apart from matter. On the same basis the author examines the functions and scope of spirit, and the relations of the present life to the life beyond, having ascertained the reality of spirit to a future life before indulging in speculations about them. The speculations are curioc3, manv of them ingenious and interesting. New York: Funk & Wagnalls; price, 60 cents. Inspired, perhaps, by the combined literary venture of Julian Hawthorne and Inspector Byrnes, lieorge W. Walling has issued a volume entitled 'Recollections of a New ork Chief of Police." which according to a sub-head is also his official record of thirty-eight years as patrolman, detective, captain, inspector and chief of police. For those who have a fancy for reading records of criminal life this book will undoubtedly possess a fascination. It must also be of value and interest to detectives and others for the history it gives of law-breakers who are still alive. The book is well printed and profusely illustrated. Caxton Book Concern, New York; Elementary Flower Painting is an attractive little book which is intended for the use of those students who must depend upon self-instruction in the art It contains eight colored plates with accompanying directions for copying. Careful instructions are given for the drawing of each flower as well as for the coloring, and though gome of the examples seem rather difficult for beginners the attention given to the details of treatment will undoubtedly enable the student to succeed.

Sophie May has recently published a rovel in tended for mature readers, and many of those who have admired her tales for little folks have wondered why she abandoned so successful and profitable a line of work. The reason has a touch of pathos lrf it. It seems that she found the material for her juvenile stories in listening to the prattle or children and developing the suggestions thus gathered. Not long ago she became deaf. By special arrangement with Robert Louis Stevenson and the former publishers. Messrs. Charles Scribner's Sons have acquired the rights lor tnis country to three or Mr. Stevenson s books hitherto not on their list, and they will at once issue them in editions uniform with that author's other works published by them.

People just now in Constantinople are inter ested in the presence among them of Kara r atma, the redoubtable temale warrior of Kurdistan, who is paying a brief visit to the Turkish capital. Her deeds of prowess date back to the beginning of the Crimean war, when she led a large body of Kurdish volunteers, who fought with, singular daring for Turkey. The Ottoman government remembers her services, and requites these by a monthly pension of 5,000 piasters a sum that in her own frugal home allows her to live with ease. She is tall, thin, with a brown, hawk-like face, her cheeks are the color of a parchment and seamed with scars. Wearing the national dress of the sterner sex, she looks like a man of forty, not like a woman who will never again see seventy-five. Slung across her shoulders in Cossack fashion is her long sabre with its jeweled hilt; decorations shine and sparkle on her breast; while the stripes across her sieve show her to be a captain in the Ottoman array. - An Eye to Business. Babyhood. In Millburg, Mr. Smith, the sexton of one of the churches, is a baker, and during the week delivers his wares at houses of his customers. Little Henry Bates, on his fifth birthday, was allowed to go to church for the first time, and his mother gave him some crackers to eat if he became hungry. When Mr. Smith came around with the contribution-plate Henry put the money in it, and followed Mr. Smith's movements with such anxious, inquiring eyes that Mrs. Bates feared he was going to speak to him, She softly whispered, "Now is the time to eat your crackers." "Mamma," he replied, "hadn't I better wait till Mr. Smith brings the fresh ones you have just paid fori" A Smart Hat 31eaa Girl. Omalia World. First Omaha Girl Oh, I'd like to bite somebody.

TIIAT ARID WASTE.

With its Wonderful "Bone Express" and ' ; Other "Early Fertilizers. Savants Amazed, Theories Demolished and Results Demonstrated '. the Like of TVhicn History Tells Not of. HE bleaching carca s s e s by the wayside were the newspapers which to the pioneers of the great Northwest told no lies. News, gossip and warnings were r - written upon the whitened sxuiis or the Dunaio or glistening bones of oxen long gone to the happy land where "prairie schooners," "packs" and trains" are not incidertal to the march of civilization. The "bone express" was frontier parlance indicative of the recognized line, or rather lines, of communication from the starting point upon the Illinois lake front to objective points as widely divergent as were the aims of the sturdy men" who "blazed" their way over an expanse so vast and trackless that it was to many the veritable "Valley of the Shadow of Death." The old-time theory that "one-half the world knows not how the other half lives" has its parallel in the fact that neither half has a comprehensive realization of what this country was and what it is becoming. There is little hazard in the wager that the present reader does not remember off-hand that Missouri had been admitted to the Union as a State, and St. Louis was carrying on a regular trade with Santa Fe, whilst the Sacs and Foxes, the Pottowatamies and Cherokees still held possession of the Illinois lake shore, where Chicago how stands. Within the twenty years the now fertile plains of the Northwest were described as the "Great American Desert." In fact, as late as 1875 General Hazen, in charge of a military post at Fort Buford, voluminously labored to prove that Dakota was an "arid waste," fit only to raise cacti, prairicdogs, sage brush and Indians. He lived long enough to see a population of over half a million, and a production of nearly sixty million bushels of grain from that territory alone. As Chief of the Weather Bureau he found this "arid waste" so important as to justify the location of nine signal-service stations within its boundaries. Gentle reader, do not turn from this page of "ancient history" with anxious eye to the latest fluctuations of the stock and grain markets. It may be better to , consider material than speculative things. The time must come when the question of ways and means will rest upon a more substantial basis than the twists and turns of Wallstreet kings. " i If ever American industry can checkmate the English policy of opening the arable fields of India against our wheat-producing sections, we must look to the Northwest for the accomplishment of such result. . Nowhere on the continent can the slave labor of India be counterbalanced by fertility and production, and low cost of cultivation, unless it be in the broad fields of Minnesota and Dakota. I Thanks to the Inter-state Commerce Law, a newspaper man may speak of railways without the implication of payment for past favors. It is fashionable to deride railway interests, and assert that corporations have no souls ; that they are cormorants, "fattening" upon the body politic. What nonsense! Men are men the world over, and the railway official who seeks a reasonable return for the service which his company renders the public can with no more justice be accused of lack of conscience than can the horny-handed agriculturist be likewise upbraided for his desire to secure an honest reward for his physical investment. ; ' What would be the condition of the Northwest to-day were it jnot for the enormous outlay of money involved in the extension and perfection of railway systems? Look at the map of the country from Lake Michigan to the British Possessions. Take the Chicago and Northwestern Railway map, for instance. It is a good one, even if it was prepared by a railroad. " It has the merit of being geographically correct a merit not generally found in Bimilar publications. . ' : Here the old adage, "Tall oaks from little

acorns grow,' receives a practical illustration, for the system is not unlike a tree, whose trunk rests upon the lake shore, whose branches are outstretched throughout the Northwest; and somewhat as the countless leaves of some grand old forest monarch , are the towns - and the hamlets and the settlements " upon its main line and numerous branches. At the risk of being accused of "puffing," and of lending to this article something of the appearance of the so-much-a-line epistle, one cannot refrain from expressing theopinion that it makes no difference where one may wish to go in Michigan,

V isconsin, Minnesota. Dakota, Wyoming, to purand Northwestern Railway. Where the road may not reach to-day, it will, in all probabilty, appear to morrow. In this the country resembles the railway. The marvelous rapidity of its mutations is stunning. Strike out, my friend, into God's land, where Progress is spelled with a very big P; where men have no time to grow old; where the census returns are so far behind the absolute per capita as to be about the only ancient history recognized. Think, if you can, pf 4,000,000 acres an area greater by upward of 300 square miles than that of Rhode Island and Connecticut combined being taken tip for settlement within a single year. This was the record of Dakota and Minnesota, and the territories of Wyoming and Washington present a fair second thereto. Into that wonderful chain of mills at Minneapolis goes the product .of this section, and although the capacity of these mills is thirty thousand barrels of flour a day, they are still extending, and several of the largest are doubling theircapacities. The day is not far distant when the votaries of fashion, instead of making annual pilgrimages to the Old World, will turn their faces yearly toward these new countries, whose attractions lie not in moldy relics of effete civiliz a t i o n , but rather in that constant growing development lin which the familiarscenes of one year are lost in the whirl of the next. Then it will be appreciated that railway life has its luxuries as well as "steamer life, and that the elegance and ease of the first cabin find fitting BY KOOX. counterparts in the cars of the Northwestern. Whether it be sleeper, parlor or coach, that air of absolute cleanliness, artistic comeliness and eternal fitness will be found to prevail, while in the diningcar there will be found relief from that longtime . terror to railway farers the cry of "Twenty minutes for dinner." To the thousands who have made the transcontinental trip by this route, one may appeal with confidence to corroborate the correctness of this statement. It is one which requires no oratorical embellishment. In fact, all exaggerated representations are foreign to the policy of the company referred to, its management preferring to rely upon absolute experience and the simple recounting of facts, whereof the writer speaks from observation, without the fear of contradiction. When the plan of "corraling large parties for the California trip was first inaugurated, many lines embraced it eagerly, under the delu sion that the larger the party the greater the reve nue, witnotit stopping to consider the difficulties and inconveniences to which zr ?ia the component mem bers Of SUCh BY NIGHT. parties must be subjected. The Northwestern has never fully surrendered to this practice. It is the opinion of many that the combination principle means discomfort and possibly inadequate attention. The road adheres to its original policy of direct contact with its patrons, believing that in caring for each and every one alike the greatest good to the greatest number must, in the end. be secured. While rates are equal, and in nothing is the expense greater than by other routes, there is an attention which cannot be approached, a service which the most fastidious cannot criticise, and an absolute comfort, which makes the journey a pleasure instead of a burden. This principle applying with equal force to individuals, ladies cr children traveling alone as to organized parties, has resulted in est ablishing most satisfactory relations between the railway and the public. This may be considered rather strong language, but truth is the greatest compliment which can be bestowed; and if it be true why not state it? This statement is the result of personal observation, and, in the language of the witness-stand, is but the truth." 'the truth and nothing You may ask why no other route is mentioned.
