Three important leading articles of very
timely interest are presented in the Janu-
airy number of the Engineering Magazine.
The first is entitled. Representative Mon
ey and Gold Expectations" by Horace
White, in which he shows that exporta-
ton OF gold must inevitably follow an ex-
cessive issue Of paper money, such as our
silver certificates, greenbacks. etc. The
conclusion drawn is that the only perma-
nent remedy for existing financial difficult
tees Is to retire the greenbacks and treas
ury notes, which are used to drain the
gold reserve. The second article. entitled
THE Cripple Creek Gold Mines and the
Stock Boom" by T. A. Rickard. dlstin-
guished mining engineer, gives an expert
and conservative review OF the Colorado
situation. THE Future OF the American
Iron Trade" by James II. Swank, is a
very comprehensive review of the present
outlook in that important branch of indus
try. in the light OF fact and history.
The January number of HarpeT's Maya
zine contains the first instalment of new
biography OF Washington by Prof. Wood
row Wilson, OF Princeton university. The
opening paper is sumptuousiy illustrated
from old portraits and from drawings by
Howard Pyle. 1t Is concerned chiefly with
the condition of the colonies, and more
particularly with the condition Of Vir-
ginia at the time of Washingtons birth.
Prof. Wilson has the historians sense OF
perspective, but he approaches his subject
with charm of style usually thought to
belong TO a lighter literature. The begin
ming certainly promises life of Washing
ton done in the manner of which Thack-
cray gives us glimpse in his novel, 1.-The
Nirginians."

raj Mary Ande san de Navarro continues
