The "Review of Reviews" for October
(New York. has streng feature in the
article on ''The Irrigation Idea and Its
Coming Congress" at Los Angeles. No
more original and picturesque idea has
been evolved in educational methods
than that which is brought to the fore in
pair of articles on the Revival of the
Historical Pilgrimage" by Lyman p.
Powell on the American renaissance of
this movement, while Mr.. Stead in his
enthusiasm for it as an English institu
ton. Probably the most original and
forceful plea for silver that has been
made in this exciting campaign is ad
vanced by Edward B. Howell. By
means of carefully prepared charts show
ing the amount of silver and gold, of
cereals and cotton and other staple pro-
ducts, he aims to show that the produc-
ton of silver keeps approximate pace
with the production or cereal crops. The
thousands of admirers of Walter Be-
SAINTS novels will be surprised to learn
from the character sketch of him that he
has found time outside of the writing of
those charming novels to be very de-
cided man of action, one of the busiest of
them. John Underhill is the author of
this character sketch, and evidently
writes CON Gn1oTe.
