mM i BOOK REVIEWS. THE WILDERNESS RAIL: or. The Venture* aud Adventure* of the l'ennaylvaala Trader* o« the AUe- Khi'ny Path. By Charles A. Hanna, author of "The Scotch-Irish." NewYork: G. P. Putnam's Sons. ASIXTY-YEAR atrip ©f United States history crowds these two big volumes to the lids. In 1tS**J a dozen New- York traders in the pursuit of their business reached the Ohio valley. Approximately from that time forward for three-score years.or until the opening of the boundary war hetween England and France interfered.the country, through the sole agency of trade, took on great substantial permanent advance. It is upon this period that the author concentrates with the purpose 01 making a nearer approach to a just balance in calculating the instruments of progress. Hitherto these to an unfair extent have been assigned to war and politics. To the old historian of armies and cabinets, tenacious of a place in the present, the author gives short shrift. "Heroes and politicians still survive to dazzle and bedevil our present day, but there are few thinking people today who would credit them as representative of our ow 11 or our country's life, activities and ideals.'* And as for titting history to some ready-made philosophic scheme, he will ha\e none of so impossible a plan. Firm in the belief that the historian serves his only useful purpose wiien he merely gathers and reports the facts material to a subject, the author builds here a book of record.voluminous, detailed, convergent at all times upon the pivotal idea of the period.an account of trailing in the exact terms and circumstances of the contracting parties. Added to these records are sketches of conspicuous nailers.wiui.es, (nutans. naiibxeeds.the advance agents of modern industrialism in America. With these, hi3 work done, the author leaves the reader to gather his own notions of these early people, and to follow their migra* tions along ways that have since worn to great highroads or faded to forgotten trails. In passing to and fro with these trader folks geographic notions change and clear, and tictlve barriers to close contact with this early history are s^t aside. The whole constitutes a remarkable illustration of theory worked out by convincing method to sound historic conception. I(B.UINIME\CES OF THE GENEVA TRIBUNAL OF ARBITRATION": 1*72, The Alabama Claim". By Frank Warren Hackett. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. Mr. Frank Hackett of this city has w ritten an account of the Geneva tribunal that, for genuine personal interest, reads Ilka a story. Those habitually brushed up in their history recall the "Alaoama Claims" as a by-product of the civil war, one whose portentous front faded away before the pacmc influence of arbitration. Leaving the formal aspects of this commission to state and other historic records, Mr. Hackett turns his time to the personnel of this body and to the exposition of arbitration in action. Himself the secretary of Caleb Cushing, who, with William Evarts, acted as United States counsel in tln*e deliberations, the author stood throughout their course close to their most Intimate phases. These, by way of reminiscence, he gives out now with the freshness of yesterday, though nearly forty years lie between. It was a stressful time, when temperament and nuclides stood, clear in the exercise of .ilamilB, tdlerhttdtf, finesse.lest agreement fail of consummation and, in.consequence, International disaster ensue. The author, intuitive and comprehending, oraws clear pictures of these men, tensioned by the urgency of their mission, one gets new views of Evarts, Cushing and Secretary of State Hamilton Fish, with Innumerable side lights on the general features of this after-the-war period of American history. The urbanities of diplomatic combat are spread in warm colors here.the high courtesy, the Invulnerable self-control, the social ceremonies where wives and daughters serve the cause gallantly. Mr. Hackett makes very clear his opinion of England's part in the civil war. By an insistent reiteration of this point, he leads these recollections to the verge of imperfect proportions, and, what is more regretful, he remembers what is best forgotten. The hook is, however, a most interesting firsthand account of a significant matter. And with arbitration at* present an uppermost measure of concern. It is. moreover, a piece of first-rate opportunism. THE ART OF THE MUNICH GALLERIES. By Florence Jean Ansell and Frank Roy Fraprie, S. M., F. R. P. t?.. author of "Among Bavarian Inns,' etc. Illustrated. Boston: L. C. Page & Co. * One setting out for the Munich gall*ries can hardly do better than to follow these two authors. A guide, whether in the fiesh or moving through the pages of a book, is commonly an automaton, mumbling hurried wooden words out or which routine has drained the sap. These guides, however, are of another sort. Hanitude has not staled them. They are fresh with personalities of their own, claiming and using the right to Individual views and preferences. They go about %h1s art business buoyantly, refusing to take it solemnly, and so refusing, tinge it with the gladness for which art exists. In a word, it is an enjoyable book, as **ell as a useful one. The round of this picture study sets off with the old l'lnakothek collection, early concern ot princely Bavarian patrons,and closes with the S« har k gallery, work of a single modern collector. Count Adolf von Bchack. The first is marked as the spot where J 4' i be us, in particular, offers the most arid the bent of himself.

This unit stamps the Ba* x arian citv as a full renter of art in its history, its meanings, its varied appearances. A book. this, not only for the Knowing ones in this held, but, better still, a hook for the traveler, or general reader, desiring to learn about these things from which he is commonly shut off by the Jargon of cryptic talk in which the art critic so often swathes his particular set of ideas.

WOl.F THK STORM LEADER, By Frank Faldwell. Illustrations by Fid ward A. Poucher. New York: Dodd, Mead & Co. Since through his well remembered "Call of the Wild" Mr. Eondon set the generous fashion of demonstrating the superiority of dogs over men in many substantial respects, several other male writers have, in self-effacing honesty, borne witness to the truth of Mr. Tendon's discovery. In hand here is one of the latest of these bundles of documentary evidence.another do£ story of the lar north, a place whosa climate appears to sublimate canine qualities amazingly. The chief persons of this adventure are so to speak, Wolf, the dog, ami Ell, the man. Some supernumerary dogs help to set the scenes and move the drama. This turns out to be a well-nigh historic group FOR' several weeks Thomas R. Manley, the well known miniature painter of Montclair, N. J., has been working in Washington, staying as a guest at the home of Mr. and Mrs. William P. Eno. From miniature painting to mural decoration might seem a far cry, but Mr. Manley is now giving as much time and thought to the latter as tt> the former, and succeeding equally well with both. He has, in fact, developed a new style of mural painting.pictures transcribed with very thin medium on white cotton cloth, which give much the appearance of ancient .tapeStries and yet have a character distinctly their own. He usually employs landr scapes as themes, Interpreting nature in a somewhat classical manner in the spirit c at. a rn»liol. Janrluoono naintarc ui.

In another Instance the color scheme is hn dull greens and delicate golden tones, with a touch of blue In the distance where the sea lies- under the broad open sky. Some of these decorations are comj paratively small, others are quite large. They are not attached to the wall, but framed in simple moldings and hung flat as an inset panel. In many ways they have an advantage over paintings in oils, inasmuch as they can be seen equally well in any light, an<j cannot crack or peel, the color being literally dyed in the fabric. Mr. Manley has devised a scheme for an entire room.a landscape occupying all-of the wall space between the wainscot and the cornice, a Fpace eight or ten feet, in 1" A "~MAN t B x IAN AUTHOR OF "THI COPYRIGHT, 1900, BY WILI | <g) COPYRIGHT, 1910, BY HOIK .O. .CA, A. . CHAPTER VI..Continued. Hughie told her. Presently they left the trolley car.Anglice, electric tram.and struck off down a street in Brooklyn. The girl turned in at a doorway and paused at the foot of a stair. "Won't you come up and sec my husband, Mr. Marrable?" she said. "It's ten flights up and we don't run to an elevator. but I know Dennis would like to thank you himself." Hughie had intended to refuse.he hated being thanked as much as most matterof-fact people.but a Jash of unusual insight revealing tu him the fact that the true object of the invitation was not to exhibit him to the husband, but to enable this proud little lady to exhibit her husband to him, he felt reassured, and allowed himself to be borne aloft to i.ie Maclear aerie. Here a gigantic and Impulsive son of Kerry, gaunt and hollow eyed through long bed keeping, wrung his hand In a manner which made him feel glad he was not a refractory terminal. what time Mrs. Maclear, in a sdrt of up-to-date version of the song of Miriam, described Hughie's glorious triumph over Noddy Kinahan. laying special stress upon the ecstatic period during which Mr. Kinaiian, at the instance of Hughie, had enacted the part of a human pianola. He left them at last, wondering In his heart, as he tramped home under the stars to his hotel in-West 42d street, what the plucky couple were going to live on idurina the next two or three months. The man was still practically a cripple.he must have been badly mangled.and It is hard work righting for time in a country whose motto, as regards human as well las other machinery, is: "Never repair! Scrap and replace!" Hughie had solved the problem to his satisfaction by the time he crossed Brooklyn bridge. For the rest of the way home he thought of other things. A bachelor, however ungregarious, is at heart ft sentimental animal, and during his walk Hnghie was i contemplating with his mind's eye tho picture that lie had left behind him as he said good-night.the picture of "a snug tittle kingdom up ten pairs of stairs," tenanted by a little community of two, self-contained and self-sufficient, dauntless in the face of grim want and utter friendlessness.and. despite his own health and wealth, he experienced a sudden feeling of envy for the crippled and impecunious Dennis Maclear. "I suppose." he mused to himself, "It doesn't really matter how rotten a time you have in this world so long as you have it in the right company." Then he !. j .the very one. In fact, that trailed across - the continent to Washington, where it s was reviewed by a President of the United 1 States, ^t was Just at this point, too, ? that Eli proved conclusively his inferior B breed, by holding nis tce-iea caravan in a - hostile climate to make it a circus, and to sell post pictures of it at the curb. Wolf, here, in a very human sort of way. tells the exciting story of his life as first aid to Kli. the Alaskan mail runner. With rather more than human modesty and restraint, he recounts adventures of which he was tlie unchallenged hero. With real artistry he draws grim pictures of the huge uncompromising north land. It is a good story.recalling the sharp controversy of a few years back, one whose r source and acrimony gave it undue mag1 niture. and out of which emerged a 1 brand-new bogy, the nature faker. And here he is again, with gallant head unl diminished, unhidden, deliberately passing ' by as not his own the dissective instruments of exact truth and gathering up loosely and in poetic vein a free transla: tion of this, the most knowing of animals, 1 in terms of man. And why not! 813. By Maurice Leblanc. author of "Arsene Lupin," etc. Translated by Alexander Teixeira de Alattos. Illustrated by Charles Crombie. New York: Poubeiday, Page & Co. Washington: Woodward & Lothrop. No reader of a series of detective stories concerning the activities of a single individual such as Arsene Lupin has any! right ever to be surprised at his reap- pearance after an apparent death. It would be a sorry teller of such tales indeed who did not contrive to bring his hero back to life or at the least to devise a narrative x»f some period prior to his final activity. Of course the police of Paris were naturally greatly shocked when, thinking Arsene Lupin long dead, they found his once familiar calling card pinned upon the breast of a South African millionaire found murdered in a hotel in Paris. M. Leblanc has told perNEWS ANT width. In this case the paintings would be fastened to the" wall as any other textile covering, and would, in color, harmonize with the woodwork and the general scheme of furnishing. Such a room might be very imposing and yet reticent and restful in effect. Mr. Manley is an explorer in the field of art. Not only has lie devised a new method "for mural painting, but new ways of manipulating the f/M »mm rm 1 M /1 , a r-m a-, W X fm ^ 41., lit acvcitii iijtrumiua. i>ui iuuaiut|iu), in painting small landscapes, he uses a combination of oil and water colors, and with excellent effect, overlaying the latter with the former and thereby gaining additional body and strength. Furthermore he has invented a new mode of expression. "Carbontypes".little pictures drawn on Japanese paper by means of a steel point and the intervention of an ordinary sheet of carbon paper. These are not only unique but peculiarly charming, resembling somewhat lithorraphs and also etchings. In the rendering of line much latitude is given, and at tlu> same time broad maAes of shadow can be admirably interposed. These "carbontypes" Mr. Mauley does directly from nature and they have the freshness and spontaneity of original sketches. In '.these his sureness of hand and ripeness of knowledge are manifested. It is true that the pleasure to be found in line is more esthetic than that discoverable in color, but for this reason it is when found the more acute. In whatever form Mr. Manley chooses for expression there is invariably evidence of a subtle but compelling artistic instinct, a feeling for beauty inborn, but intelligently cherished and restrained. It is this that gives to his work exceptional interest and value. Mr .Manley is at present painting miniatures of both Mr. and Mrs. Eno. * * * ROBERT VONNOH was in Washington the early part of this week, getting the pictures he painted abroad during the past three or four years through the custom house and making arrangements for an exhibition to be held here early next season. Mr. Vonnoh, like almost all the American painters who have returned recently from lengthy sojourns abroad, has. come back with increased belief in American art and enthusiasm for the accomplishments of American artists. Better work, he insists, is not being done anywhere in the world today than here in the United States, and not even in France can there be found better art schools. This from Mr. Vonnoh means a great deal, for he was for a number of years . .W A.A AW AT, A.A A.A A.A AW .W 'S MAN | t Y X HAY, | E RICHT RTI1FF."

But. however carefully (or carelessly) we handle the tiller on life's voyage. It is the little casual currents and unexpected side winds that really set our course for us. As Hughie rolled into bed that night he reflected, rather regretfully, that the incident of that evening was closed forever. Jle had definitely cut himself off from the Maelears, at any rate, for the very simple reason that he had just posted to them a hundred one-dollar notes as a temporary loan until their "ship came in," carefully omitting to mention that his own was due to go out in twentyj-four hours, and giving no address for purposes of repayment. But for all that the incident had definitely altered his course for him. or, at any rate, was destined to send him round by an alternative route. I CHAPTER TO. The Alternative Route.

She could average a fair eight knots in ordinary weather (except when the chief engineer was not sober; and then she had beeu known to do as much as eleven), and she had faced with tolerable credit seven strenuous years of north Atlantic weather, winter and summer alike.

The mystery is deep and is not solved until the finish. The tale is of further merit in that it leaves open a promise of an international detective story of exceptional interest.

ROBIXETTA. By Kate Douglas Wiggin, Mary Findlater, Jane Flndlater, Allan McAulay. Boston: Houghton Mifflin Company. It would td interesting to know why it has taken four different persons to collaborate in the making of this story. It is not a serious work, not particularly complex, nor does it involve a wide range of characters or action. Mrs. Wiggin might easily have written it herself almost at one sitting, for it is short and quite in her familiar line of quiet romance. The suspicion arises that she has admitted some of her friends to a partnership out of*the goodness of her heart. Robinetta /s a lovely young widow who goes down to an English country nouse of ancestral memories, where she finds herself a not ' altogether welcome visitor, but soon the object of the interested attention of the young family solicitor. A romance follows, naturally, with a bit of byplay in thorough keeping with the British tradi- tions involving the prospective ouster of an old nurse from a cottage she has oc- cupied as pensioner for years, alongside of which blooms a far-famed plum tr«e. In nowise a serious production, "Robinetta" is nevertheless a bit of charming reading. 1 THE GOLD BAG.

It is Mr. Vonnoh's belief that in art education we have until very recently been beginning at the wrong end, train! ing young men and women to be artists first and artisans afterward, rather than , the reverse. Aecording to his theory the manual arts should be taught in all schools from the kindergarten up. To 1 just such systematic training ag this he attributes France's commercial supremj acy. Because France has trained generations of her citizens in industrial art, we are today purchasing back from that country at an enormous advance in price product which we exported as# raw material. This should not be. . Mr. Vonnoh and his wife, Bessie Potter Vonnoli, the sculptor, will hold an exhibition of their works in Philadelphia at the McCIees gallery early in April. Mrs. Vonnoh's was. it will be remembered, exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery here last winter, and more than one of Mr. Vonnoh's portraits and figure paintings have been seen in the Corcoran Gallery's general exhibitions. * * AN exceedingly fine example of the work of Gilbert Stuart has been loaned to the Corcoran, Gallery by Mrs. j Silas W. Tern-. It is a portrait of Mrs. Terry's grandmother, and is e*qi/lsltely painted. The canvas is not large, but shows the young matron seated with her hands crossed in her lap either be- fore an open window or a curtained recess. The fare, which is youthful and vivacious, is turned toward the observer, and though the pose is'demure, there is a sparkle of mischief in the merry eyes and 1 a pertinent suggestion in the tiptilted ] little nose. The pigment has been laid , on more thinly than usual and with evident directness. The coloring Is fresl* f and harmonious.

THE CAMER A FIEXD. By E. W. Hornung. Illustrated. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons. Mr. Tlornung chooses as the hero of his newest mystery tale a sixteen-year-old English school boy, an unfortunate chap afflicted with asthma and compelled for that reason to go to town occasionally for treatment. On one of these trips ho gets into the most remarkable situation that probably ever confronted a youngster, awakes from a sleep in the park to which he has been driven by the unhospitality F ART AN] a nee of ease in execution which is the sure token of a' masterpiece. When one considers what meager training this painter had and how lie literally "built" without traditions it seems indeed remarkable that he could have accomplished such results. It Is true that he 'did not always rise to this height, some, of his portraits are very inferior to it, but he produced many, and no painter always does equally well. In this and a few other instances he almost, if not quite, rivaled some of the great English, portrait painters, which was indeed high achievement. In the Gorcoran nailery is to be seen another splendid example of Gilbert Stuart's work.a portrait of John Randolph, painted when this celebrated Virginian was but a lad. Both portraits aro very rewarding of study. * * ""|THE Metropolitan Museum, New York, * has just purchased for its permanent collection a figure painting by Gari Melchers which was recently shown In the Corcoran Gallery here. It is a picture of a mother nursing her baby and is a masterly work. Many will remember it. The mother holds the little one on her lap with her left arm and looks down upon it with maternal tenderness. The baby nurses solemnly, but looks out upon the world, and, incidentally, its mother, with a wise and interested eye. The little feet are bare and are painted, as is the little fist, strongly and with sympathy. There are certain fundamental things in life which make common appeal. Motherhood is one of these, babyhood another. Mr. Melcher's picture will never have to be explained; its significance is patent to all. Because, however, the painter has clothed his expression in beautiful form, has presented the theme nobly as well as skilfully, it is true that its 'Value is immeasurably increased. Mr. Melcher's style is essentially frank, but his manner of rendering is by no means ungracious. The Metropolitan Museum is fortunate in having secured so excellent an example of his work. * * * THE American Federation of Arts announces that its next annual oonvenlion will be held in this city the 16tli, 17th and 18tli of May.

Gates and Dingle, the first and econd mates, who, with cold douche and nrelenting boot, were sparing no pains to ouse to a sense of duty those of their ock who had not yet found or recovered heir sea legs. The crew consisted of two Englishmen nd a Californian, together with a handul of Scandinavians; Portuguese and Germans, divided by sea law (which, like its ig brother, non curat de minimis) into Dagoes" and "Dutchmen," respectively, epresentatives of the romance races beng grouped under the former and of the tnglo-Saxon under the latter designaions.

Kingom by a Tenderloin boarding-house ;eeper, and had signed a contract for the oyage to Bordeaux and back,, wages for »oth trips to be paid at the end of the econd. If sufficiently knocked about they rould, in all probability, desert at Borleaux, preferring to forego their pay ather than stand a second dose of the iome comforts of the Orinoco. This was lie of the ways in which Capt. Kingdom aved his employer money, and in which 4r. Noddy Klnahan made the "River" Jne a profitable concern. There were ilso others, which shall be set forth in lue course. Capt. Kingdom had just appeared on the iridge. He was a furtive and sinister oking individual, resembling rather a iawnbr»ker's assistant than one who ocupied Ills business in great waters. Bnt ie was a useful servant to Noddy Kinalan. "Got all the hands to work, Mr. Gates?" ,e called down to the mate. "Aye, aye, sir!" replied Mr. Gates, nocking the heel of his boot oil the deck o ease his aching toes. The captain ran his eye over the crew, rho were huddling together forward of he bridge. He cleared l)is throat. "Now, you scum," he began, genially, attend to me. While I tell you what ou've got to do on board this ship." The st^m, stagnant and unresponsive, Istened stolidly to his harangue, the subtance of which did not differ materially, nutatis mutandis, from one of Mr. [queers' inaugural addresses to his pupils n the first morning of term at Dotheboys lall.

By George .- T» A Itf 1 A i i _i Hi. uroucup, jo. a. wiin a cnronoiOKical text by Ernest. D. Lewis, A. M. New York: "Windsor Publishing Company. This exceedingly clever invehtlon serves to spread out the history of the United States, complete in fact and in sequence of facts, so that it enters the eye as a picture does. The old much-in-little phrase takes on real meaning in this case. A thin, handy, atlas-like book this, containing the substance of four centuries of American history. Condensation to essentials, perfection of arrangement, a skillful use of type to indicate the relative weight of events, and all manner of maps and diagrams of record and comparison are the means by which one is her^ able to visualize history. This record, moreover, is no thin string of wars, campaigns, battles, but a broad field instead. covering discovery, expans'on, political evolution, growth of industry and trade, character of population, advance in education and so on to present historic limits. As a mere summary of fact this is a most useful publication. Its supreme value, however, lies in its comprehensive views of historic relat'ons. With it at hand one is able instantly to see events in their proper time and place relations to other events, these correlations constituting the final point of historic study. Teachers, students and general readers D ARTISTS Addresses will be made by authoritative speakers on topics of broad general interest, such, for example, as "The Relation of Sculpture to landscape." "Public Libraries and Art." "A National School of Industrial Art," "American Handicraft," "Garden Cities." The sessions of this convention are invariably open to the public. * ** AN illustrated' lecture on "Textiles' was given at the Public Library Tuesday evening by Miss S. G. Flint, assistant in charge of textiles at the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Tracing the early history of weaving. Miss Flint showed, first, examples of textiles found in the Coptic tombs, commenting upon their designs and in some instances their texture. From these she passed to a consideration of the Italian. Spanish and French fabrics, linens, silks, brocades, damasks and velvets, and from these to tapestries. Briefly she touched upon the subject of Persian rugs, and at greater jengxii ants iuiu ui me uutciupiucuL vi iitv various kinds of lace. Most of her illustrations were reproductions ef specimens in the Boston Museum's collections, which are exceptionally fine. The subject is exceedingly interesting, and Miss Flint presented It with exceptional clear 11 ess, engendering on the part of her hearers not merely enthusiasm but desire for further inquiry. * ** THE news of the death of Kenyon Cox. which occurred at Long Beach, j Cal., this week, came as a shock to j many. Mr. Cox was one of the foremost of our American artists and his loss will be seriously felt. He was a painter, a,' sculptor, a writer and a lecturer.in fact, one of the many-talented few. Two years ago he lectured before the Washington Society of Fine Arts in this city: the nyiral decorations in the southwest gallery of the Library of Congress arc by him, and* very frequently his works have been shown in the Corcoran Gallery's exhibitions. His portrait of Augustus Saint Gaudens many will rer call. Likewise his painting "Hope and Memory" has become familiar through repeated reproduction. Mr. Cox belonged to the academic school, and was not drawn hither and thither by the fads of the day. His paintings were profoundly studied and carefully rendered, and they had, as a rule, sculpturesque suggestion. 1'ndcr persuasion of sculptor His lot on board the Orinoco had been lighter than that of most, for his companions, finding him-apparently impervious to ill-usage and philosophically genial under all circumstances, had agreed to regard him as a species of heavily decayed and slightly demented "dude," and had half-affectionately christened him "Percy" .a term which sums up the typical Englishman for the New Yorker almost as vividly as "Rosbif" and "Godam" perform that office for the Parisian. The captain descended from the bridge, walked across the deck and dispassionately kicked Mr. Allerton off the bollard. "Stand up, you swine, when you speak to me!" he shouted. "Where did you see anybody?" Mr. Allerton rose slowly and painfully from the seuppers. There are moments when the role of a Democritus is difficult* to sustain. "I'm sorry you did that, captain," he remarked, "because I know you didn't mean it personally. You had to make some sort of demonstration, of course, to put the fear of death into these new# hands, but I regret that you should have singled me out as the corpus vile.you don't know what that means, I dare say; never mind! .because you have shaken up my wits so much, besides nearly breaking my hip bone, that I shall have to pause and consider a minute before I remember where I did see the gentleman." If the captain had been Mr. Gates he would probably have felled Allerton to the deck a second time. As it was. he shuffled his feet uncomfortably and glared. The broken man before him, when all was said and done, was his superior; and the captain, who was of sufficiently re- fined clay to be sensitive to social distinctions, was angrily conscious of that sense of sheepish uneasiness which obsesses the cad, however exalted, In the presence 'of a gentleman, however degraded. Allerton continued: "I remember now, captain. The man was lying in the alleyway leading to the companion. I'll go and see how he is getting on. Keep your seats, gentlemen." " He dived down the fore hatchway, just in time tc escape the Itching boot of the unimpressionable Mr. Gates, and proceeded between decks toward the stern. Presently he came to the alleyway in question. The man was still there, but had slightly shifted his position since Allerton had last seen him. He was now reclining across the passage, with his head sunk on his chest. His feet were bare, and he was attired in a blue jumper and a pair of trousers which had onoe be| longed to a suit of orange and red pyjamas. His appearance was not impressive.. Allerton stirred him gently with his foot. "Wake up, old man." he remarked, "or there'll be hell Well, I'm damned!" For the man had drowsily lifted his heavy head and displayed the features of Hughio Marrable. They gazed at 'each other for a full minute. Then Allerton said, feebly: "You've preferred the Orinoco to the [Apulia after all. then?" Hughie did not reply. He was running his tongue rouud his cracked and blackened lips, and tentatively sucking his palate. "I know that taste," he remarked. "It reminds me of a night I once spent in fanton. I have itr-ODium!"

PLEASt'RKi together with a Coaalderatloa of the Opera Frobleaa aad the Kipreaaloa of Eaiotloao la Mualr. By Albert Gehring. author of "-Kacial Contrasts," etc. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. This book, addressed to n special class, hardly experts enthusiastic reception on the part of the common reader. It may. perhaps, not be altogether useless, however. for this common reader to give its effect upon him. Obviously under the spell of Hugo Mnnsterberg. "teacher and friend," the author psychologizes on the basis of one's pleasure in music. As the title indicates, this study is of the clinical sort. As a first step, music is taken apart and all Its little pieces are spread out for lnsneefton. Then the nuns of the human mind are unhooked from one another and laid out to be fussed over with grave thoroughness. At this stage the real game begins.one of the puzzle sort, the point to match together out of these two sets of blocks, so to speak. & new- and perfect form shaped by the union of music and mind. At the outset, tlve author ^confesses to an abandonment of his original aim.that of discover'ng and setting forth the nature of a "single supreme fountain of musical pleasure". through the inadequacy of "the present state of knowledge," accepting, instead, a study of various complex sources. The work is serious scholarly, exacting. Without doubt, it will prove highly useful to certain orders of people. To the mere reader, however, it belongs with the writings devoted alone to mental discipline, whatever that may mean. It is a pleasure to say that one of these lectures, the one on the qpera problem, does convey some meaning and interest to the average reader. It seems to be about something.

Yes, that's it." He looked almost pleased. He was a man who liked to get to the bottom of things. Presently he continued: "Could you get me a drink of water? I've got a tongue like a stick of glue." Allerton departed as bidden, presently to return with a pannikin, irtighie was standing up in the alleyway, swaying unsteadily and regarding his attire. "I say." he said, after gulping the water, "would you mind telling me.you see, I'm a little bit wuzzy in the head at present.where the devil I am, and whether I came on board in this kit or my own clothes?" "Steamship Orinoco." replied Allerton, precisely, "out of New York for Bordeaux." "Let me think," said Hughle."Orinoco? Ah! now I'm beginning to see daylight. What's the name of the owner, our friend from Coney Island?" Allerton told him. ''But he's more than your friend now," he added; "he's your employer." Hughie whistled long ajid low. "I see," he said. "Shanghaied.eh? Well. I must say he owed me one; I fairly barked his nose for him that night. But now that he has had me knocked on the head and shipped on board this old ark. I think he lias overpaid me. I owe him one again, and, with any luck, he shall have it." "Do you remember being slugged?" said Allerton. "Can't say I do precisely. Let me see. I recollect coming along 42d.street on my way to the Manhattan. I'd been dining at the Lambs, and I stopped a minute on the sidewalk under an L railway track to light my pipe, when.yes, it must have happened then." "I expect you had been shadowed all day," said Allerton. "But I'm forgetting my duties. You are wanted on deck." "Who wants me? Noddy Kinahan?" "Not much! He doesn't travel by his own ships. It's the captain. I understand that you are to be presented to the company as a little stowaway, and great surprise and pain will be officially manifested at your appearance on board." "All right. Come along and introduce me." Capt. Kingdom's method of dealing with invawavs.natural and artificial.was simple and unvarying. On presentation he first of all abused them with all the resources of an almost Esperantic vocabulary. and then handed fhem over to Mr. Gates to be kicked into shape. On Hughie Marrable's appearance on deck the captain proceeded with gusto to part one of his syllabus- Hard words break no bones, and Hughie, who was breathing In great draughts of sea air, and feeling less dizzy and more collected each minute, set no particular store by the oratorical display to which he was being treated. In fact, he was almost guilty of the discourtesy of allowing his attention to wander. He set the crown upon his offense by Interrupting the captain's peroration. "Look here, skipper," he said, brusquely breaking in upon a period, "you can drop that. My name is MarraWc. I am not a stowaway, and I have been dumped on board this ship by order of " "Your name," said Capt. Kingdom, with relish, "is anything I choose to call you, and as you stowed yourself away on board " "Look here," said Hughie. "I want a word ylth you.in your own cabin for choloe.

Venture* aud Adventure* of thel'ennaylvaala Trader* o« the AUe-Khi'ny Path. By Charles A. Hanna,author of "The Scotch-Irish." NewYork:G. P. Putnam's Sons.

ASIXTY-YEAR atrip ©f UnitedStates history crowds these two

big volumes to the lids. In1tS**J a dozen New- York tradersin the pursuit of their business

reached the Ohio valley. Approximatelyfrom that time forward for three-scoreyears.or until the opening of the boundarywar hetween England and Franceinterfered.the country, through the soleagency of trade, took on great substantialpermanent advance. It is upon thisperiod that the author concentrates withthe purpose 01 making a nearer approachto a just balance in calculating the instrumentsof progress. Hitherto theseto an unfair extent have been assignedto war and politics. To the old historianof armies and cabinets, tenacious of a

place in the present, the author givesshort shrift. "Heroes and politiciansstill survive to dazzle and bedevil our

present day, but there are few thinkingpeople today who would credit them as

representative of our ow 11 or our country'slife, activities and ideals.'* And as fortitting history to some ready-made philosophicscheme, he will ha\e none of so

impossible a plan. Firm in the belief thatthe historian serves his only useful purposewiien he merely gathers and reportsthe facts material to a subject, the authorbuilds here a book of record.voluminous,detailed, convergent at all timesupon the pivotal idea of the period.anaccount of trailing in the exact terms andcircumstances of the contracting parties.Added to these records are sketches ofconspicuous nailers.wiui.es, (nutans. naiibxeeds.theadvance agents of modernindustrialism in America. With these,hi3 work done, the author leaves thereader to gather his own notions of theseearly people, and to follow their migra*tions along ways that have since wornto great highroads or faded to forgottentrails. In passing to and fro with thesetrader folks geographic notions changeand clear, and tictlve barriers to closecontact with this early history are s^taside. The whole constitutes a remarkableillustration of theory worked outby convincing method to sound historicconception.I(B.UINIME\CES OF THE GENEVATRIBUNAL OF ARBITRATION":1*72, The Alabama Claim". ByFrank Warren Hackett. Boston:Houghton Mifflin Company.

Mr. Frank Hackett of this city has w rittenan account of the Geneva tribunalthat, for genuine personal interest, readsIlka a story. Those habitually brushed upin their history recall the "AlaoamaClaims" as a by-product of the civil war,one whose portentous front faded awaybefore the pacmc influence of arbitration.Leaving the formal aspects of this commissionto state and other historic records,Mr. Hackett turns his time to thepersonnel of this body and to the expositionof arbitration in action. Himselfthe secretary of Caleb Cushing, who, withWilliam Evarts, acted as United Statescounsel in tln*e deliberations, the authorstood throughout their course close totheir most Intimate phases. These, byway of reminiscence, he gives out nowwith the freshness of yesterday, thoughnearly forty years lie between. It wasa stressful time, when temperament andnuclides stood, clear in the exercise of.ilamilB, tdlerhttdtf, finesse.lest agreementfail of consummation and, in.consequence,International disaster ensue. Theauthor, intuitive and comprehending,oraws clear pictures of these men, tensionedby the urgency of their mission,one gets new views of Evarts, Cushingand Secretary of State Hamilton Fish,with Innumerable side lights on the generalfeatures of this after-the-war periodof American history. The urbanities ofdiplomatic combat are spread in warmcolors here.the high courtesy, the Invulnerableself-control, the social ceremonieswhere wives and daughters servethe cause gallantly. Mr. Hackett makesvery clear his opinion of England's partin the civil war. By an insistent reiterationof this point, he leads these recollectionsto the verge of imperfect proportions,and, what is more regretful, heremembers what is best forgotten. Thehook is, however, a most interesting firsthandaccount of a significant matter. Andwith arbitration at* present an uppermostmeasure of concern. It is. moreover, apiece of first-rate opportunism.THE ART OF THE MUNICH GALLERIES.By Florence Jean Ansell

and Frank Roy Fraprie, S. M., F. R.P. t?.. author of "Among BavarianInns,' etc. Illustrated. Boston: L.C. Page & Co.

* One setting out for the Munich gall*riescan hardly do better than to followthese two authors. A guide, whetherin the fiesh or moving through the pagesof a book, is commonly an automaton,mumbling hurried wooden words out orwhich routine has drained the sap. Theseguides, however, are of another sort.Hanitude has not staled them. They arefresh with personalities of their own,claiming and using the right to Individualviews and preferences. They goabout %h1s art business buoyantly, refusingto take it solemnly, and so refusing,tinge it with the gladness for which artexists. In a word, it is an enjoyablebook, as **ell as a useful one. The roundof this picture study sets off with the oldl'lnakothek collection, early concern otprincely Bavarian patrons,and closes withthe S« har k gallery, work of a single moderncollector. Count Adolf von Bchack.The first is marked as the spot whereJ 4' i be us, in particular, offers the mostarid the bent of himself.

No reader of a series of detective storiesconcerning the activities of a single individualsuch as Arsene Lupin has any!right ever to be surprised at his reap-pearance after an apparent death. Itwould be a sorry teller of such tales indeedwho did not contrive to bring hishero back to life or at the least to devisea narrative x»f some period prior tohis final activity. Of course the police ofParis were naturally greatly shockedwhen, thinking Arsene Lupin long dead,they found his once familiar calling cardpinned upon the breast of a South Africanmillionaire found murdered in ahotel in Paris. M. Leblanc has told perNEWS

ANTwidth. In this case the paintings wouldbe fastened to the" wall as any othertextile covering, and would, in color, harmonizewith the woodwork and the generalscheme of furnishing. Such a roommight be very imposing and yet reticentand restful in effect. Mr. Manley is anexplorer in the field of art. Not only haslie devised a new method "for mural painting,but new ways of manipulating thef/M»mm rm 1 M /1 , a r-m a-, W X fm ^ 41., litacvcitii iijtrumiua. i>ui iuuaiut|iu), in

Furthermore hehas invented a new mode of expression."Carbontypes".little pictures drawn onJapanese paper by means of a steel pointand the intervention of an ordinary sheetof carbon paper.These are not only unique but peculiarly

charming, resembling somewhat lithorraphsand also etchings. In the renderingof line much latitude is given, and attlu> same time broad maAes of shadowcan be admirably interposed. These "carbontypes"Mr. Mauley does directly fromnature and they have the freshness andspontaneity of original sketches. In

'.these his sureness of hand and ripenessof knowledge are manifested. It is truethat the pleasure to be found in line ismore esthetic than that discoverable incolor, but for this reason it is whenfound the more acute. In whatever formMr. Manley chooses for expression thereis invariably evidence of a subtle butcompelling artistic instinct, a feeling forbeauty inborn, but intelligently cherishedand restrained. It is this that gives tohis work exceptional interest and value.Mr .Manley is at present painting miniaturesof both Mr. and Mrs. Eno.

we handle the tiller on life's voyage. Itis the little casual currents and unexpectedside winds that really set our coursefor us. As Hughie rolled into bed thatnight he reflected, rather regretfully, thatthe incident of that evening was closedforever. Jle had definitely cut himselfoff from the Maelears, at any rate, forthe very simple reason that he had justposted to them a hundred one-dollar notesas a temporary loan until their "shipcame in," carefully omitting to mentionthat his own was due to go out intwentyj-four hours, and giving no addressfor purposes of repayment.But for all that the incident had definitelyaltered his course for him. or, at

It would td interesting to know why ithas taken four different persons to collaboratein the making of this story. Itis not a serious work, not particularlycomplex, nor does it involve a wide rangeof characters or action. Mrs. Wiggin mighteasily have written it herself almost atone sitting, for it is short and quite inher familiar line of quiet romance. Thesuspicion arises that she has admittedsome of her friends to a partnership outof*the goodness of her heart. Robinetta/s a lovely young widow who goes downto an English country nouse of ancestralmemories, where she finds herself a not '

altogether welcome visitor, but soon theobject of the interested attention of theyoung family solicitor. A romance follows,naturally, with a bit of byplay inthorough keeping with the British tradi-tions involving the prospective ouster ofan old nurse from a cottage she has oc-

cupied as pensioner for years, alongsideof which blooms a far-famed plum tr«e.In nowise a serious production, "Robinetta"is nevertheless a bit of charmingreading. 1

high tribute to tlie collection of Americanpaintings in the Corcoran Gallery, declaringthat the fact of the merit of theworks was not theoretical, but demon-stratable.that artistic judgment was nota haphazard matter of opinion, but theresult of study confirmed by the experienceof successive generations.

It is Mr. Vonnoh's belief that in arteducation we have until very recentlybeen beginning at the wrong end, train!ing young men and women to be artistsfirst and artisans afterward, rather than ,

the reverse. Aecording to his theory themanual arts should be taught in allschools from the kindergarten up. To 1

just such systematic training ag this heattributes France's commercial supremjacy. Because France has trained generationsof her citizens in industrial art,we are today purchasing back from thatcountry at an enormous advance in priceproduct which we exported as# raw material.This should not be. .

Mr. Vonnoh and his wife, Bessie PotterVonnoli, the sculptor, will hold an exhibitionof their works in Philadelphia atthe McCIees gallery early in April. Mrs.Vonnoh's was. it will be remembered,exhibited at the Corcoran Gallery herelast winter, and more than one of Mr.Vonnoh's portraits and figure paintingshave been seen in the Corcoran Gallery'sgeneral exhibitions.

AN exceedingly fine example of thework of Gilbert Stuart has been

loaned to the Corcoran, Gallery by Mrs. jSilas W. Tern-. It is a portrait of Mrs.Terry's grandmother, and is e*qi/lsltelypainted. The canvas is not large, butshows the young matron seated withher hands crossed in her lap either be-fore an open window or a curtained recess.The fare, which is youthful andvivacious, is turned toward the observer,and though the pose is'demure, there is asparkle of mischief in the merry eyes and 1a pertinent suggestion in the tiptilted ]little nose. The pigment has been laid ,on more thinly than usual and withevident directness. The coloring Is fresl* f

and harmonious. So simply is the medium ihandled that the work has the appear- j

ous things were done which her present howner was not in the habit of dofng. w

Consequently, she had lain rusting in sSouthampton water for six months, until san astute Scot, who ran a sort of Dr. tiBarnardo's home for steamers which had abeen abandoned by their original owners,^ rstepped in and bought her, at the rate of oabout a pound per ton;, and having re- sfitted her with some convenient boilers uwhich he had picked up at a sale, and rchecked her fuel consumption by reducing flher grate area, set her going again in a tlhumble but remunerative way as a pigboat between Limerick and Glasgow, aDuring this period of her career she was fiknown as the Blush Rose.and probably nsmelt as sweet. hThe maritime Dr. Bamardo sold her

three years later (at a profit) to a gen- J"tleman who required a ship for someshady and mysterious operations amidcertain islands in the southern Pacific. JThe nature of the poor Blush Rose's oc-cupation may be gathered from the fact rthat In the space of three months she Jmade those already tropical regions too dhot to hold her; and. with her name ^painted out. a repaired shot hole in her v

But, alas! the Jedburgh Abbey £was confiscated a year later by the United J1States government, and, having disgorged 11a most uncanonical cargo, was knockeddown by Dutch auction, without benefit hof clergy, to the- highest bidder.

""|THE Metropolitan Museum, New York,* has just purchased for its permanentcollection a figure painting by GariMelchers which was recently shownIn the Corcoran Gallery here. Itis a picture of a mother nursing herbaby and is a masterly work. Manywill remember it. The mother holds thelittle one on her lap with her left armand looks down upon it with maternaltenderness. The baby nurses solemnly,but looks out upon the world, and, incidentally,its mother, with a wise and interestedeye. The little feet are bareand are painted, as is the little fist,strongly and with sympathy. There arecertain fundamental things in life whichmake common appeal. Motherhood isone of these, babyhood another. Mr.Melcher's picture will never have to beexplained; its significance is patent to all.Because, however, the painter has clothedhis expression in beautiful form, haspresented the theme nobly as well asskilfully, it is true that its 'Value is immeasurablyincreased. Mr. Melcher'sstyle is essentially frank, but his mannerof rendering is by no means ungracious.The Metropolitan Museum isfortunate in having secured so excellentan example of his work.

THE news of the death of KenyonCox. which occurred at Long Beach,

j Cal., this week, came as a shock to

j many. Mr. Cox was one of the foremostof our American artists and his losswill be seriously felt. He was a painter,a,' sculptor, a writer and a lecturer.infact, one of the many-talented few.Two years ago he lectured before theWashington Society of Fine Arts in thiscity: the nyiral decorations in the southwestgallery of the Library of Congressarc by him, and* very frequently hisworks have been shown in the CorcoranGallery's exhibitions. His portrait ofAugustus Saint Gaudens many will rer

call. Likewise his painting "Hope andMemory" has become familiar throughrepeated reproduction. Mr. Cox belongedto the academic school, and was

not drawn hither and thither by the fadsof the day. His paintings were profoundlystudied and carefully rendered, andthey had, as a rule, sculpturesque suggestion.1'ndcr persuasion of sculptor

His lot on board the Orinoco had beenlighter than that of most, for his companions,finding him-apparently imperviousto ill-usage and philosophically genialunder all circumstances, had agreed to regardhim as a species of heavily decayedand slightly demented "dude," and hadhalf-affectionately christened him "Percy".a term which sums up the typical Englishmanfor the New Yorker almost as

vividly as "Rosbif" and "Godam" performthat office for the Parisian.The captain descended from the bridge,

walked across the deck and dispassionatelykicked Mr. Allerton off the bollard."Stand up, you swine, when you speak

to me!" he shouted. "Where did you seeanybody?"Mr. Allerton rose slowly and painfully

from the seuppers. There are momentswhen the role of a Democritus is difficult*to sustain."I'm sorry you did that, captain," he remarked,"because I know you didn't mean

it personally. You had to make somesort of demonstration, of course, to putthe fear of death into these new# hands,but I regret that you should have singledme out as the corpus vile.you don't knowwhat that means, I dare say; never mind!.because you have shaken up my wits so

much, besides nearly breaking my hipbone, that I shall have to pause and considera minute before I remember whereI did see the gentleman."If the captain had been Mr. Gates he

would probably have felled Allerton tothe deck a second time. As it was. heshuffled his feet uncomfortably and glared.The broken man before him, when allwas said and done, was his superior; andthe captain, who was of sufficiently re-fined clay to be sensitive to social distinctions,was angrily conscious of thatsense of sheepish uneasiness which obsessesthe cad, however exalted, In thepresence 'of a gentleman, however degraded.Allerton continued:"I remember now, captain. The man

was lying in the alleyway leading to thecompanion. I'll go and see how he isgetting on. Keep your seats, gentlemen."

" He dived down the fore hatchway, justin time tc escape the Itching boot of theunimpressionable Mr. Gates, and proceededbetween decks toward the stern.Presently he came to the alleyway inquestion. The man was still there, buthad slightly shifted his position since Allertonhad last seen him. He was nowreclining across the passage, with hishead sunk on his chest. His feet werebare, and he was attired in a blue jumperand a pair of trousers which had onoe be|longed to a suit of orange and red pyjamas.His appearance was not impressive..Allerton stirred him gently with his

foot."Wake up, old man." he remarked, "or

there'll be hell Well, I'm damned!"For the man had drowsily lifted his

heavy head and displayed the features ofHughio Marrable.They gazed at 'each other for a full

minute. Then Allerton said, feebly:"You've preferred the Orinoco to the

[Apulia after all. then?"Hughie did not reply. He was running

his tongue rouud his cracked and blackenedlips, and tentatively sucking hispalate."I know that taste," he remarked. "It

reminds me of a night I once spent infanton. I have itr-ODium!" IThen be tenderly fingered the back of

bis head, and nodded with the interestedair of one who is acquiring a new Item ofexperience. ,

THE BASIS OF ML'SICAI. PLEASt'RKitogether with a Coaalderatloa of theOpera Frobleaa aad the Kipreaaloaof Eaiotloao la Mualr. By AlbertGehring. author of "-Kacial Contrasts,"etc. New York: G. P. Putnam'sSons.

This book, addressed to n special class,hardly experts enthusiastic reception on

the part of the common reader. It may.perhaps, not be altogether useless, however.for this common reader to give itseffect upon him. Obviously under thespell of Hugo Mnnsterberg. "teacher andfriend," the author psychologizes on thebasis of one's pleasure in music. As thetitle indicates, this study is of the clinicalsort. As a first step, music is taken apartand all Its little pieces are spread out forlnsneefton. Then the nuns of the humanmind are unhooked from one another andlaid out to be fussed over with gravethoroughness. At this stage the realgame begins.one of the puzzle sort, thepoint to match together out of these twosets of blocks, so to speak. & new- andperfect form shaped by the union ofmusic and mind. At the outset, tlveauthor ^confesses to an abandonment ofhis original aim.that of discover'ng andsetting forth the nature of a "single supremefountain of musical pleasure".through the inadequacy of "the presentstate of knowledge," accepting, instead, astudy of various complex sources. Thework is serious scholarly, exacting. Withoutdoubt, it will prove highly useful tocertain orders of people. To the merereader, however, it belongs with the writingsdevoted alone to mental discipline,whatever that may mean. It is a pleasureto say that one of these lectures, the oneon the qpera problem, does convey somemeaning and interest to the average reader.It seems to be about something.CORRECTION AND PREVENTION:

bagged first and hocussed afterward.Yes, that's it."He looked almost pleased. He was a

man who liked to get to the bottom ofthings. Presently he continued:"Could you get me a drink of water?

I've got a tongue like a stick of glue."Allerton departed as bidden, presently

to return with a pannikin, irtighie was

standing up in the alleyway, swaying unsteadilyand regarding his attire."I say." he said, after gulping the

water, "would you mind telling me.yousee, I'm a little bit wuzzy in the head atpresent.where the devil I am, andwhether I came on board in this kit ormy own clothes?""Steamship Orinoco." replied Allerton,

precisely, "out of New York for Bordeaux.""Let me think," said Hughle."Orinoco?

Ah! now I'm beginning to see daylight.What's the name of the owner, our friendfrom Coney Island?"Allerton told him. ''But he's more than

your friend now," he added; "he's youremployer."Hughie whistled long ajid low."I see," he said. "Shanghaied.eh?

Well. I must say he owed me one; Ifairly barked his nose for him that night.But now that he has had me knocked on

the head and shipped on board this oldark. I think he lias overpaid me. I owehim one again, and, with any luck, heshall have it.""Do you remember being slugged?" said

Allerton."Can't say I do precisely. Let me see.

I recollect coming along 42d.street on myway to the Manhattan. I'd been diningat the Lambs, and I stopped a minute onthe sidewalk under an L railway trackto light my pipe, when.yes, it must havehappened then.""I expect you had been shadowed all

day," said Allerton. "But I'm forgettingmy duties. You are wanted on deck.""Who wants me? Noddy Kinahan?""Not much! He doesn't travel by his

own ships. It's the captain. I understandthat you are to be presented to thecompany as a little stowaway, and greatsurprise and pain will be officially manifestedat your appearance on board.""All right. Come along and introduce

me."Capt. Kingdom's method of dealing withinvawavs.natural and artificial.wassimple and unvarying. On presentationhe first of all abused them with all theresources of an almost Esperantic vocabulary.and then handed fhem over toMr. Gates to be kicked into shape.On Hughie Marrable's appearance on

deck the captain proceeded with gusto topart one of his syllabus- Hard wordsbreak no bones, and Hughie, who wasbreathing In great draughts of sea air,and feeling less dizzy and more collectedeach minute, set no particular store bythe oratorical display to which he wasbeing treated. In fact, he was almostguilty of the discourtesy of allowing hisattention to wander. He set the crownupon his offense by Interrupting the captain'speroration."Look here, skipper," he said, brusquelybreaking in upon a period, "you can

drop that. My name is MarraWc. I amnot a stowaway, and I have been dumpedon board this ship by order of "

"Your name," said Capt. Kingdom, withrelish, "is anything I choose to call you,and as you stowed yourself away onboard "

"Look here," said Hughie. "I want aword ylth you.in your own cabin forcholoe. Ail right," he continued, with irising voice, as the captain broke outagain, *T11 have it here Instead. Firstof all. what is Mr. Noddy Kinahan paylogyou for this job?"

tutc a mine of information an<i suggestionrespecting social reform by means ofprevention and correction. Kadi Is a collectionof monographs from the highestsources of specialized knowledge and experience.What may be taken as thefirst one of the series is a study in theadvance of criminal law since the CincinnatiPrison Congress in 1*7«> to meetthe greatly complexed conditions of modemlife. Supplementing this is a generaldiscussion of prison reform. Ttiasecond volume stands, in a way. as anamplification of the tirst one through itsanalysis of the various prison systems ofthe Fnited States, followed hy conrpletedescriptive studies of type prisons out ofthese different systems. The third volumeconsiders general preventive agenciesand methods worked out in economioand social spheres, through both the d»rectinstrumentality of the courts and theindirect means of education. The lastvolume applies the basic idea of preventionto tlie case of neglected children.Here the different kinds of institutionsaro described in their purposes and plans.Societies engaged with these children aremeasured, and the juvenile court aa a socialforce is discusser? with great ardorand thoroughness. This running review,of necessity brief, serves most inadeiquately even to indicate the scope findhigh value of this series of studies, whosousefulness in the propaganda of reform isbeyond definite calculation.
