The number of writers who are spir-

that when one of the small number falls
away this desertion is as conspicuous
as it is lamentable, and nothing seems
an adequate punishment for the Of

Mr.. II. G. Wells recent lapse from
excellence. 1.-The Island Of DR.. Mo-
reau" is not only a soulless but also
distorted book, and It's author should
be scourged with scorpions rather than
whips, for he is one Of the few people
capable of writing books which add
perceptibly to the delight of the intel
ligent. DIR. Moreau" would be an in
suit coming from any writer. From
Mr.. Wells it is also an injury, for no
matter how he may repent and amend,
he can never give to his readers the
charming book they might have had
in place of this loathsome one.
The plot Of the tale is very simple.
1t describes the sojourn Of a ship
wrecked Englishman upon small
island in the Pacific inhabited by one
DR.. Moreau, an English vivisectionist,
and his assistant, and peopled by
large number Of hideous, half-human
Things. which the doctor has created

from animals in his dissecting room,
altering their brains and bodies to suit
his will, his aim being to find out the
extreme limit of Elasticity in a living
shape and to create, If possible, a hui
man being from a beast. OF the pain
he infiicts he thinks nothing. This
store which men and women set on
pain and pleasure is the mark of the
beast upon them-the mark Of the
beast from which they camel Pain,
pain and pleasure, they are for us only

needs do to the brain that my trouble
lies. These creatures Of mine
seemed strange and uncanny to you so
soon as you began to observe them;
but to me, just after 1 make them,
they seem to be indisputably human

them, that the persuasion fades. First

to the surface and stares out at me-
