A new and striking theory is set forth in
the new work ''Solar Heat, Gravitation and
Sun Spots," by J. H. Kedzie. The work ex-
plains the phenomena treated of in its seve-
raj divisions by single well defined princi-
pie, and while at variance with many accept
ed beliefs, it advances theory that is direct
and plausible. The argument is strength
ened by quotations from Newton, Faraday,
etc.. and the whole scheme is so closely con-
nected and strikingly presented that it can
not fail to interest those interested in the
problems of science. The authors idea of
solar phenomena and similar topics is very
ingenious and shows much thought and re-
search. The theory is new both in the ap
plication and in the fundamental idea and
is developed in forcible manner. 1t is an
interesting and valuable book to all interest
ed in the scientific problems of the day. S.
G. Griggs & Co., publishers, Chicago. For
sale in this city by Judd the bookseller.

Anything by Pansy is sure of readers
She has natural and easy style and never
loses sight of the definite object toward
which she moves. 'tSpun From Fact' is a
story turning upon the extraordinary physi-
cal and spiritual phenomena which has excl
ted SO much attention during the last few
years, aud which is popularly known as the
"faith" or s'prayer" cure. 1t is story of a
young girl crippled for life, who at length
rises to her feet and walks with firm steps |
across the floor The author in the minor |
details of the work draws largely upon her |
own imagination, but every item of impor- |
tance, every reference to prayer constant |
factor in life and every account of answer to |
prayer is strictly true and taken from fact. |
The book thus claims for itself great i'm /
portance in regard to this subject 1t is not |
a subject of ingenuity simply, but were it |
only that it would receive attention. 1t is |
spun from fact and the strongest element of |
the book is its truth. D. Lothrop & Co, |
Boston. For sale in this city by Judd the |
bookseller

Hammond and Clara LAMA, is one of Apple |
ton & Co.'s latest paper covered publica-

centricities of types of peculiar people. All |
the sketches are true to life and have been |

remarkably amusing, and if one chapter is |
read the book will not be laid down until |
the entire ten are finished. For sale in this /
