Authorized edition.
| The "other stories in this neat little
volume are. master Zacharias. "A
Drama in the Air ~ Winter in the
Ice'' and 1.-The FoItieih French ascension
of Mont Blanc" The first of these
stories is one of those queer. half mys-
| FERROUS, Srotes9ue variations, the domI-
nant quality of which-the blending of
| learning. philosophy and mys.ication.-
So reminds one of the puzzling pedantry
displayed by ''Ursus" in Victor Hugo's
Man who Laughs" In fact there is
enough of bewilderment, extravagance
and amusing incident here for dozen
books of the same size by somebody else
than II. Verne. The volume before Us
is in is mo-, bound in CUR colored cloth
and red edges, uniform with Warmers
SaunterinGs,' Blackburn Artists
and Arabs and others of that series.

ter of the author. In cloth, prettily
