Hon. D. P. Baldwin contributes a fine
essay to the June Arena on THE Open
Vision in Art" He closes thus: art will
never be exhausted. AS we'll attempt to
exhaust space or find the beginning of time.
Better poems will yet be written and better
pictures yet be painted than have ever been
just begun, to realize the possibilities and
white splendors of marble. Music, with it's
beautiful disdain, still scars above us like
the dome of June sky. Notwithstanding
all the mighty works of all its mighty mas,
tiers. And why not? Poetry, painting arch
itecture, music, and sculpture are so many
beautiful roads to the Most high. Their

fiame-colored, warlike cover. Scribner
comes up bravely with set of war maps.
The Atlantic Monthly, which has been re-
garded by some who have not followed it's
course closely as the least enterprSing of
all, opens with calm, well-considered edi-
toriaRrevieW of the war and it's causes, to-
gether with discussion of the possible re-
suits. 1t also appears with the flag on it's
cover, as it was wont to do during the civil
war. Mcclure, still more up-to-date in it's
methods, comes out triumphantly as a war
number, with an opening paper on Cuba
Under Spanish Rule" by Fitzhugh Lee, and
an account by Stephen Bonsal of the way
