Of feature, excentricities of speech and

from her lips.
Frank: Frank! Frank! Don't drop
behind-don't trust Richard Wardour.
While you can stand, keep with the
other men, FraEkr'
(The farewell warning of Crawford
in the sclitudes of the Frozen Deep,
repeated by Clara in the garden of her
English home.)
A moment of silence follows, and in
that moment the vision has changed
she sees him on the iceberg now, at
the mercy of the bitterest enemy he
has on earth. She sees him drifting;
light
Wake, Frank; wake and defend
yourself! Richard Wardour knows
that | love you Richard Wardour's
vengeance will take your life! Wake,
Frank-wake! You are drifting to
your death!' A low groan of horror
burst from her, sinister and terrible
to hear. Drifting! driftingv' she wills
pers to herself; drifting to his DEATH"
Her CLASSY eyes suddenly soften,
then close. A long shudder runs
through her. A faint flush shows itself
on the deadly pallor of her face, and
fades again. Her limbs fail her. She
sinks into Mrs Crayford's arms
The servants, answering the call for
help, carry her into the house. They
lay her insensible on her bed. After
an hour or more, her eyes open again
this time with the light of life in
them-open, and rest languidly on her
friend sitting by the bedside.
Il have had dreadful dream" she
murmurs family. "Am i'll, Lucy?
l feel so weak"
Even as she says the words, sleep,
gentle, natural sleep, takes her sudden
ly, as it takes young children weary
with their play. Though it is all over
now. though no further watching is
required, Mrs. Crawford still keeps her
place by the bedside, too anxious and
too wakefui to retire to her own room.
On other occasions, she is accustom-
ed to dismiss from her mind the words
which drop from Clara in the trance.
This time the effort to dismiss them is
beyond her power. The words haunt
her Vainly she recalls to memory
all that the doctors have said to her
in speaking of Clara in the state of
trance. What she vaguely breads for
the lost man whom she loves, is min
gled in her mind with what she is
constantly reading of trials, dangers
and escapes in the Arctic seas. The
most startling things that she may say
or do are all attributable to this cause,
and may be explained in this way"
So the doctors have spoken, and thus,
far, Mrs Crawford has shared their
view. 1t is only tonight that the girls
words ring in her ear with strange
prophetic sound in them. 1t is only
tonight that she asks herself: els
Clara present, in the spirit, with our
loved and lost ones in the lonely
North? Can mortal vision see the dead
and living in the solitudes of the
Frozen Deep?"

Mansion, very modest place Is given to a small book bound in red morocco with golden threads, thus designated in the catalogue, "Gerson-copie de deux grands tableaux. Bruges-Imp. par Jean Brito in 40." This volume of thirty-two leaves is the only complete copy of the first edition of the Doctrinal of Jean Gerson, the celebrated chancellor of the Univer- sity of Paris. who died in 1429. It Is the first book printed from the movable char acters of font of type that has come down to our time.
 It carries no date, but on the last page, which Is here reproduced in fac-simile from LIllustration), one sees after the "eXplicit feliciter" @ stanZa of six lines in Latin verse, which literally translated reads:
 Remark the beauty of this present writing; compare this work with other works; put this book alongside of other books; see with what neatneSS, with what care, with what elegance this impression has been made by the bourgeois of Bruges Jean Brito, who has discovered without any one teaching him his mar vellouS art at the same time as his aston ishing instruments, not less worthy of admiration.
 It Is difficult to be more precise, espec- ially in verse The bourgeois Jean Rrito, who has written his name in full at the end of this printed volume, declares him. self loudly the inventor of an art un- known before him and of which he offers to the people of his time a first specimen
 It was in 1773 that the Abbe Ghesquiere pointed out this categorical subscription The Doctrinal then belonged to M. Nicer man of La Have. At this date the con- test for the priority of the invention of printing was confined to Gutenberg and Coster. On the appearance of this third rival MT. School of Mayence and School of Harlem joined forces to choke off the posthumous claims of Jean Brito.
 They denied that he ever invented any thing. They even denied that he was ever printer. They cast doubts on the fact of his ever having existed. The most that skillful copyist, who had thought 1t good to vaunt in Latin verse his peculiar tal- ents at the end of a manuscript, which manuscript had later been used by a

vessels entered It's basins every day. Six teen countries kept Consuls there. It was grand center of art and literature Is it likely that with such surroundings an honored bourgeois, a master librarian, could dare to falsely proclaim himself the author of such discovery without rais- ing protest from his contemporaries In 1457 the illustrious printer, Colard Man Sion appears in his turn on the registers of the Guild of St. Jean. If Brito had not really been his predecessor in the art would not he have exposed him?
 It may be said that while Brito invented Typographical printing at Bruges, Guten- berg at Mayence and Coster at Haarlem, of whose works ne may have been ig- norant, preceded him.
 At what date was the ''Doctrinaw printed by Brito? In the "Memoireaux which, translated into modern language, ads, Item for a Doctrinal imprint" Cgette in molle. cast in molds'0, which I have sent for to Brugess, by Marquet, a January, 1445, for Jacquet twenty "sols tournois" (money of Tours).
 This formally establishes that in 1445 they sold in Bruges a ''Doctrinal' printed iodts shows from public documents that the sale of books made elsewhere was forbidden at Bruges during the fifteenth century. The "Doctrinal' bought for Jacquet, then, must have been one print ed by Brito. There was no other. This makes the date of the "DoctrinaP' cer- tainly as early as 1445, which antedates the Bible of Gutenberg by twelve years, and that was not printed from type cast in molds, but from characters cut out separately. Thls was the case also with the works attributed to Coster, of which the earliest appeared in 1437.
 Distributive justice, it seems, should give to Coster the first place in the de- velopment of wooden type printing and employing isolated letters in the place of engraved pages or lines, to Gutenberg and his associates the honor of having trained workmen who spread the art of printing throughout Europe; but to Jean Brito must be accorded the palm as discoverer and first applier of the art of printing by means of typographical characters.
