WHAT THE ENGINEERS SAY.

So far as can be learned there is no prob
ability of the work being begun in the
river anyway before next month, and
probably not then, The engineer in
charge of the harb0r improvements was
asked as to the cause of the delay, but
could give no reason for it, except that it
was for the lack of facility. The work, he
says, will begin as early as /:
is possible to get the dredges in opera
ton.
There is a disposition to criticise the
government in permitting the delay,
when the river demands immediate at
tention to prevent the dangers which
threaten the interests of the port.

"The Dark House" is sensational novel, turning

Mr.. Fem has written many better novels than this'

trashy sensationalsm as tLat of the late Fargus,
however, may easily have tempted men OF hlgher
capacity to seek in this line of fiction the notorlety
and attendant remuneration frequently inaccessi-
BILE by more legitimate methods.
Mr. Janvier's "Color Studies" have already
been approved by the public in their magazine
form, and certainly deserve to have been gathereu

as in this pretty volume. No brighter or moro
pleasantly written short stories have appeared LOT
a long time. They are full of color life and humor,
and as sketches of artist-life possess much merit.

is light and sure, while his quick observation has
little tendency toward the fixing of disagreeable
