began to go down, and her stern to

with a rumbling sound like distant
thunder, and countless made another
great breach in the bow.
"Afte another period of anxious
waiting, the ridge fell forward, at
the same time jerking the cords that
communicated with the sirens, and
causing them to send weird scream
over the waters. The next moment
having, SO to speak. wished US fare
well, the huge ship dived deliberately
head-foremost into 800 feet of water,
and was never seen again. AS the sea
rushed into the furnaces, steam and
water gas were generated; and these,
rushing up through the smckestack.
caused a kind of explosion, which is
very plainly seen in the last prcto-
graph 1 took, just as the ship was
disappearing. The upward rush of
steam carried a great quantity of SCOT
from the fues, and this caused a dark
cloud to hover over the place where
the Tai-Hoku sank. There was no
whirlpool of any kind. When this
great vessel of S,1OO tons took her last
dive. the little flotilla of boats could
not have been made than $50 yards dis
tant. Standing by after her disap-
pearance, we saw pathetic bits of
wreckage coming slowly to the top

ship we set to work to row to Lis

us at Cascaes bay, a littleto the north

"Among the Dun Is"

Among the Dunes" is a book of big
intentions and small achievements. It's
author, Mrs. D. L. Rhone, was over
burdened with material, and so unload
ed overmuch Of it into one novel. Hav-
ing but scant knowledge Of literary
composition, she is helpless with her
load and slows it away regardless Of
balance.
The story wanders from Jutland to
Africa and back again, and includes
witchcraft, shipwreck, barbaric wars
persecution, escapes, law suits and har-
rowing adventures of all kinds, jumbled
with the greatest inconsequence. The
story has two heroes and two heroines
and what one pair fails Ito do to make
confusion complete is wrought by the
other. There are some isolated situa-
lions that suggest interesting possibil-
tiles If the author knew how to elab-
crate them or how to relate them to
each other. but the book, as it is, is
more remarkable for disjointedness
than for anything else.

matter is in the hands of the best CT liens OF

No monument has ever been erected by
public action to a mayor of any Western city.
The method Of collecting the subscription
fund is very novel, and will appeal TO and
meet the approval OF the general public as

are asked is follows: Each person sub
scribing one dollar to the memorial fund will
receive a certificate. and also a handsome
bronze medal. and becomes thereby a men,
Der of the organization. The certificate is
a work of art, being beautifully engraved
on steel. The portrait is the one best known
to the general pubic and instantly recalls
the well-remembered features of the lead
mayer. It is pronounced by all who have
seen 1t the best portrait extant of the late
Carter Harrison, and is approved as such
by his son, the present mayor OF Chicago.
The medal is of bronze having the same p0r-
trait on one side and on the reverse an ap-
proprate inscription.
No design has yet been considered for the
memorial. as the form it shall ultimately
take must be largely dependant upon the
amount of the subscription. Many favor
heroic equestrian statue, while others prefer
a simpler design. The design committee
headed by d. II. Burnham who was the ar
chitect of the worlds fair buildings, will
spare no effort to obtain the most striking
and artistic example possible of the sculptor-s
creation. The matter OF location also re-
mains to be determined at later period.

"Mifanwy."

"Mifanwy" Is a rather pretty story
of sentiment and has brought it's au-
thor into a prominence in England
hardly warranted by the strength Of
the book. This book under it's other
title, "a Welsh Singer" received the
prize offered at the Carnarvon Nation
al Eisteddfod for the best novel of
Welsh life. This happy beginning was
not, of course, an absolute indication
of worth, but that the book is now in
its third English edition is an indica-
ton of popularity at least. While the
story is sweet and pretty enough and
readable too, it is surprising to find it
coming in for anything approaching
serious consideration and the author
spoken of as one Of the promising lady
novelists of England.
The story is good-natured and senti-
mental. More good-hearted, generous
people abound in it than we have any
recollection of meeting in one book be-
fore. 1t is necessary to introduce
villain, of course, but it is done with
evident reluctance, and the author,
who has the pleasant failing of be-
lieving in the worlds kindness, fails
to draw him with convincing precision.

"Ribstone Pippins."

"Ribstone Pippins," by Maxwell
Gray, should bring no claim to being
a novel, and one hesitates even at call
ing it story. A prose idyl it is, and a
charming one. It's simplicity is simple
to the verge of artificiality perhaps,
and again every stroke is elaborated to
the last detail, but the picture is an
attractive one if it is rather a Vatican
than a Millet. Some readers will COM
plain that the author forces them to
take every step with the carriers Oh
their long days drive and that exercise
in pedestrianism is not their object in
fiction reading, but they should be only
thankful for the deep draughts of air,
the Ginning bells and good music by
the way.
Jacob Hardinge, carter and lover car
rieS with him through the long days
journey the rosy gift apples for his
love and the hope of finding her at the
end of the way. Supplemented and
wise in SOUL but tongue-t tied, his sym
pathy with nature is deep but dumb.
Every step of the long way towards
his love reveals his childlike greatness
and the heartleSs return is strong III
its pathos.
"Ribstone Pippins" is not a great un-
dertaking, but for a thing of it's kind
1t is well done and quite worth the
doing. A bucolic painting on a fan
may be work of art and as strong
in its limited way as a picture on a
broader canvas.
