"The War of the Worlds"

Mr.. H. G. Wells is a gentleman pos
sessed of a nimble ina gination a petty
wit. much human tenderness, a good
deal of constructive ability and fluent
style. All these good gifts he is in the
habit of perverting to unpleasant uses
in his attempts to write books which
shall make his readers sit up" Two
of his books and two only, have given
anything like full scope to his un-
doubted talents. These two are "The
Wonderful Visit" and The Wheels of
Chance" Each of these tales was
charming in it's way, but the readers
of Mr.. Wells other books are required
to sup full of horrors. 1t is all very
well if that is the kind of thing you
like, but if you happen to like the other
kind Of thing, which Mr.. Wells does
much better than he does the stew OF
''The War Of the Worlds" 1t
tells about the attempted conquest
of England by the Martians, who
fire huge shells at the earth
Each one Of them, about thirty
yards in diameter, contains a mum Der
Of the invaders, together with their i'm
plements of war The Martians are
octopus-like things, all brains, eyes
and feelers, who walk about in gigantic
sets fire to everything on which it is
turned. and black, smoky powder
which explodes and creates noisome
gas, killing everything near. Natural
ly these creatures were unpleasant to
fight. as the heat rays pierce steel
like paper and cause guns to explode,
as well as occasion the death Of the
gunners more directly. After working
much devastation the Martians happily
fall victims to bacteria. There are no
bacteria in Mars, and the systems of
the Inhabitants Of that planet are not
hardened, as ours have become by
natural selection& against these micro
scopic foes. 3S
+ There are three hundred pages, all
about the Martians and the fright and
desolation which followed their coming.
One puts down. the book wondering
whether, amongfthe other blessings Of
war, we shall not be able to count a
loss Of appetite for the fiction Of gore
which, has been so rampant of late
years. When men can read about real
battles, they do not care to read of
those that have never been fought.
Such deeds Of daring as those Of Lieut..
Hobson and his men make us turn a
cold shoulder to the imagined proVess
of long ago and far away. In the
presence of real heroes we grow indif-
ferent to those of pen and ink. It may
even be that one indirect result Of our
armed Intervention in Cuba will be to
restore the taste for simple, wholesome
fiction. The psychological novel may
return to it's own again. Who knows?

Muscular citizenship in himself and

Theodore Roosevelt stands. and the
spirit OF such citizenship naturally fur
n1shes the dominant note in the little

cans to read, and 1t is to be hoped that
its circulation may become very gem

"a Bride of Japan"

"A. Bride Of Japan" is a long, well
written nightmare. On second thoughts
1t Is not long, but, like married life to
the Jester, seems longer" than many
tales Of twice its length. It deals with
the story Of a Cornishman In Yoko-
hama, who married him a Japanese
wife. The act entailed dozen distinct
damnations, and Tresilian, with a de-
sire for Righteousness in his soul. lived
through them all, wondering what the
God OF righteousness meant by so re-
paying what was intended as an offer
ing to Him. A more dreaYily unrelieved
tale Of horror than this is hardly to be
found outside of Mr.. Conrad's unholy
stories of degeneration in Africa and
alien lands to the southwark. It is
difficult to see why Carlton Dawe"-
the name is new in fiction-thought the
book worth while to write. Regarded
as tract. it might have a salutary in
fuence in de'terring any one in a posi-
ton to follow Tresilian's example from
doing so. but as literature, In spite Of
the writer's many gifts Of construction
and expression, it is absolutely useless.

There IS growing demand through

that will make the burden lighter
The hearts OF the people are so earnest
IN this matter that every legislator is
studying the question with a zeal that
means much.
"The legislature should make An Of.

They should start first at the sala-

placing everyone on salary, and turn
ing the fees heretofore received into
the respective state and county treas.
uries.
'They should cut down the unneces.

"They should revise the school laws
and by scurbing the enormous educa.

pride for public economy.
"TheY should revise the pension laws
