BOOK NOTICES.

FARADAY AZ DlscovIRRR. By John Tyndal. Ap-
pleton Company, New York.
This neat little volume by Professor Tyndall ON his
distinguished master and friend was work OF love,
ana It s not less interesting for the "Reminiscences
and anecdotes Of Faraday in private life than for ts
reference to and explanation Of his discoveries 1t
Is at the same time charming to the ordinary reader
and useful to the scientific. These sketches Of the
character and habits Of philosopher by one fam
liar with him and by such q friendly hand inspire
the deepest interest Tyndall makes US share his
owe for the pure, unpretending and indefatigable
Imam of science and discoverer. To the learned and
those who are exploring the secrets OF nature this
aiye s encouraaement We Commend the Appletons
for publishing such q book. 1t would be well II they
and other publishers would increase the number OF
the country with 90 much sickly and demoralizing
sentimental trash. A higher and purer taste would
be stimulated and the publishers would soon h,a md

The AMERICAN ANNUAL CYCLOPEDIA AND REGISTER
OF IMPORTANT EVENTS OF THE YEAR lS6!-Em-
Public Documents, Biography. Statistics Com
merce Finance, Literature, Science, Agriculture
and Mecancal Industry. Vol. VII. New York;
ID. Appleton Co. 1893.
This volume Is the history Of the world for year.
The first volume Of the series published in the
year succeeding the conclusion Of the new American
Cyclopedia. Cyclopedias have way Of getting out
of date. The world goes on and q ENCYCLOPEDIA once
printed must inevitably stand still. Science Is en-
larged constantly, discoveries are made that super
sede the old knowledge, and the Cyclopedia must
finally 60 on the same shelf with the old alma
macs; but with view to keeping their great
publication fresh and up to date the Appletons put
forth every year volume Of the same class, en-
bodyng all the progress of the year. giving the net
result the gain and the loss in knowledge The idea
is an excellent one, and the volume made on this
plan must from Its very nature possess the highest
value for all practical men. High as we estimate the
usefulness Of good Cyclopedia we have no hesita-
ton saying that the volumes Of this annual series
published since the conclusion Of the work to which
they their origin are already greatly superior to
| il in real value. Nowhere else can be found SO
| satisfactory digest OF the current history, the
things that read in the papers to-day, desire to
RETAIN but inevitably lose In the rush OF subjects
| that take our attention tomorrow. The literary
work of this volume Ii well done. There is an ample
index, and the book is enriched with fine portraits

An Escaped Murderer Tracked
TO Earth.

On Monday night officers Walsh, Far
rell and Scott, Of the Second District,
succeeded in arrestiDg, in South Mem
phis, a criminal who has long been
Il" wanted" and for whose arrest the po-
lice have been working day and night
for several months psst-James Calvin,
the murderer of policeman, John Fsnton,
and ajlad named Joseph Shellooe.
On Christmas day last, a disturbance
occurred in McMshon's saloon, on Main
street, near the Overton hotel, between
three men named James Calvin, John
McGrinn and Tom Connell. Officer
Fenton came in, and In attempting to
uuell the difficulty, was knocked down
and beaten, and bis club taken away
from him. While down he attempted to
draw his revolver TO defend himself,
when Calvin drew 9 repeater and fred
several shots at him. The first missed
Fenton, but struck g German lad named
ShelIooe, and the second took effect on
Fenton, and from the effects OF their
wounds both parties died in a few days,
ShelloOe first and Fenton q day or two
sfterWsrd. The three, Calvin,
MeGrinn and Connell were arrested, and
on the 9th carried before Squire Hall,
when Cornell and McGrinn were admit
ted to bail in the sum OF 5000, and Gal
win remanded to prison on charge of
murder. A second charge Of murder
vas also made in the warrant of the
Coroner who sat on the body OF
ShelloOe, and he was incarcsrated
in the old prison on Adams street 1.-THE
new jail not being then finished, whence
in the course Of some weeks he succeeded
in making his escape, and disappeared
altogether from the city.
About six weeks ago, officer Walsh be-
came convinced that Calvin was in the
city and that only a little patience and
strategy were necessary to capture him.
He learned that the man whom he
suspected Of being him was in the
habit Of lying perdue all day,
and coming out on the streets al
night in disguise. This indicated his
mode Of procedure, and he laid his
plans accordingly; but SO c~unningiy and
well posted did the object of his espoin-
age keep himself, that for a good while
the task seemed fruitIess. s few nights
ago however, Wash saith ii ed himself that
he wa in the habit Of retiring to q GER
ain horse after his evening walks, and
about midi .9ht on Monday, with Scott
md Ferrel, he SUR nunded the house and
Ifter forcing an entry, c~>oIured the long
wanted fugitive from justice. he was
ound between the mattresses Of q I'D IN
which two women were lying at the time
f the search, and who, IS one Of the
Ulcers informs US, played "virtuous il
Iignatlon" to perfection when the search
vas msde. The prisoner wa lodged tenn
in the lower station house, and
yesterday morning was removed to
be new jail.
