SURVIVAL OF NEW NOVELS.
Percentage of Books That Gain Endur-
ing Fame Is Extremely Small

Percentage of Books That Gain Endur
ing Fame Is Extremely Small.
1t is said that the American publish
ers have in press over two hundred
new novels which are likely to be is
sued between now and the holidays
The statement is easily credible. In
1890 they issued LIS novels; in 1891,
Jos; in 1892, 1,102, and in 1898, 1872
This average Of three novels put on the
market for every day in the year in
cludes imported books issued by Eng
lish houses and published in New York
by their resident agents, but it does
not include the publications of the
"minor cheap libraries The English
publishers issue about the same num-
Der of novels yearly as the American
In 1893, an average year, they issued
935 new novels and 393 reprints.
The interesting question of what be-
comes Of all this mass of literature"
is answered only in part by the five
cent counters. Many of these books
must fail to obtain the honorable if
humiliating usefulness the five-cent
counters offers to those for whom the
dollar shelves are no longer tenable.
They do not circulate at ALL A few
copies are sent to the newspapers. The
author distributes complimentary cop
les among his acquaintance, and he
is fortunate if he finds even among his
intimate friends those who can recall
the title of his work within six months
after it's publication. That 'among
nine bad il one be good there's still
one good in ten" is a comforting
thought, but it hardly applies to con-
tempOraneOuS fiction for hardly one in
a thousand and certainly not one in a
hundred of the novels published stands
the only sure test Of merit as novel
that of survival. Only in rare in
stances do they Outlive their first year
The man whose book actually lives ten
years may set himself down as a genius
whether the critics think so or not
Only once or twice in q generation do
writers appear whose stories have
enough of universal human nature in
them to survive their generation. And
this is all as it should be. 1t is we'll
enough for the most worthless of all
worthless books to be written if it real
ly represents an aspiration to produce
something worth the attention of the
world, but it is better still that swift
and merciful Oblivion should cover fail
ure. In novels as in everything else the
fittest should be the survivors, And
in the long run they always are.

From the Tucson Citizen.
 Probably the largest deposit of marble Tn the world is to be found in Pima county, about ten miles from the $. P. railroad and 30 miles from Tucson. It Is on George Stone's ranch near the old Blue Jay mine. Cliffs of pure marble stand hundreds of feet high and thou sands of feet long and apparently with out break. The marble is white. black and varieRated, is of splendid grain and susceptible of high polish. Sunday the property was visited by MT. c. NJ. Burkhalter in the interest of the $. F., who have under consideration the running of switch to the property. This will certainly be done and the greatest marble quarry in the world opened up. Of course the whole thing Will depend on the ability of the own CTS to lay 1t down cheap If this can be done 1t will close every other quarry in the United States, as none will be able to compete with 1t.

A Woman Who Burned to Become

 The report of Referee Walker in two divorce cases was submitted in district court yesterday. In the first, Maria B. de Garcia against Jesus Maria Garcia. & decree was granted on the ground of desertion which followed a married career Of general cussedness. The act ot desertion was prompted by the plaintiffs curiosity to know of him why he did not spend his money for grub in stead of strong drink.
 In the case of B. F. Sloan against Laura Belle Sloan, the decree was de- nied on account of lack of evidence. This Was case of assertion too. There had been no serious trouble between the parties. The wife wanted to be an actress. She was am bilious to become another Bernhardt, or Langtry. The husband saw more money and ultimate satisfaction in the proper management Of corral and livery stable and so they drifted apart.
