The Review of Reviews for August is a
particularly good number. Its special
features are a character sketch Of William
Jennings Bryan, by Willis J. Abbott; a
review and description of the work of DR..
Bernardo, the founder of the homes For
London children, by w. T. Stead; an ac-
count of the Australian federation move
ment, by a citizen of Victoria; concise
record of Mrs Harriet Beecher Stoves
literary work. and a review of President
Francis A. Walkers latest treatise on in
terna tional bimetallism. The editorials IN
the department entitled The Progress
of the World" deal with the political stu
alton and with all the important events
of the past month at home and abroad.
Apropos of the fact that the only promi-
nent New York newspaper which supports
the nomination of Bryan is the Journal,
Moses p Handy is reminded of a story
about Willis j. Abbot, the Journals CHER
editorial writer. For some weeks before
the Chicago convention the Journal, al
Mr. Abbots suggestion, was publishing
signed articles by prominent men on each
side of the silver question. 1t seems that
among the names of men from whom
such articles were desired Mr.. Abbot SUD-
mited to Mr. Hearst the Journals propri
etor that of William j. Bryan Of Ne
braska, whom he had known and admired
for years. Mr. Bryans fame, however,
had not then reached Mr.. Hearst and,
strange to say, the name of the man who
was a month later the democratic nomi-
nee for President was the only one crossed
off the lis. But he may be nominated

Much Of the best engineering enterprise

Several of the obstacles encountered

Elderslie rock, a mass of dolerite or
whinstone, which was found to occupy the
bed of the stream over an area of s25
feet by 800, and which came within ten
feet Of the surface of the water. The
discovery of this was a shock to all con-
