Scribner's Magazine for March opens
with the second article by Joel Chan
dler Harris on "The Sea Island Hurri-
canes"-this one dealing especially
with the great relief work which is be-
ing conducted by Miss Clara Barton and
the Red Cross Society. The distress in
these islands is likely to increase until
the first crop shall be gathered in the
late spring, so that the necessity is apt
to be direst at time when the public
has, for the most part, lost interest in
the catastrophe. Two articles of very
practical interest to dwellers in Ameri
can cities are entitled 1.-THE High Build
ing and its Art" by Barr Ferree lone

of a skilled architect, "The Cable Street
Railway" by Philip G. Hubert, Jr.,

ly new form of architecture has grown
up from economic necessities, and dis.
cusses the devices by which these huge
structures can be made ornaments to a

the Agricultural Department, who has
made number of interesting tours in
the Southern part of the peninsula of
Florida, where few travellers 20. In

Henry Bishop 1.-THE author of "The
House of Merchant Prince,'') who
has published no long story for several
years. This is tale of Monte Carlo at
the present day, in which a young
American and his wife are the princi-

other sketches of the leading American
types from the same sympatnetic and
appreciative author. The third INSTALL
ment of John March, Southerner, :"
Mr.. Cables great serial of the New
South, is notable for it's humorous ne
gro characterizations and for a charm

his most amusing vein.
