 reading the latest book by this au-
 thor despite it's unearthly adventures, its inhuman characters, it's flying ma- chimes. its Martian invaders and its glori- fcation of the microbe, to become &C., quainted with the excellence of these short stories
 Since Bulwer led the fashion in strange stories, these grown-up. fairy tales for adults have appeared in all shapes and dfsguises. Sometimes their development has uncovered the authors plot-an alto gether distinct thing from the story's plot-to preach at the unarmed reader so powerless to talk back. Sometimes it has been fad of his that he forces upon one through the mouths of supernatural beings, as If that made the fad itself easier to swallow. Sometimes 1t has been the medication of knowledge, that in- sidious enemy of easy-going mental pleas ures. Sometimes 1t has been purely for the imaginative fun of 1t that the scien- tif1c Jules Verne, and the moralist Jules Verne, and the political Jules Verne, and the optimistic Jules Verne, and the artistic Jules Verne nave beckoned us on to the supernatural and led us through the domain of the marvel ous, till our literary souls have been sa- tiated with the wonderful, and It Is only with the most langud interest that we follow, afraid of being bored by old com binations, anticipating the climax and be- ltttling the magic of it all.
 The antidote for it all Is Mir Wells "Aepyornis Island" a simple, efficacious and most delightful remedy. So delightful in fact, that it's worth having been poi soned in order to require the antidote.
 "Aepyornis Island" Is the tale of an- calls the Dodo. But such a graceful story Of the graceless Aepyornis, of its shocking ingrautude and of It's foster-fathers trials as 1t Is! So permeated with humor, so thoroughly logical and so consistently impossible is the simple narration of the finding of an egg of this bird, extinct for 3e00 years, its matching in the warm sun, the companionship between the castaway and this representative of pathological bluest blood, that 1t might serve as a model to strange story writers for all time
 The authors account of the catastrophe is charming.

Washington Letter .
(From Our Regular Correspondent. }

Washington, December l6, 10 SO
Speaker Reed surprised the
House and Representative De
Almond, of Mo-, who attacked the
rules Of the House, by making a
little speech in reply. The sur
prise was an enjoyable one to the
House but not to Mr.. De Almond.
Mr.. Reed began by saying that
Mr.. De Almond had misstated the
relations of the Speaker with the
Committee on rules, and then con-
vulsed the House with laughter
by saying that the House. must
have noticed that however much
despotism is exercised by the
rules, there was no subject in the
Heavens above or the earth be-
meath that had not been discussed
by the House, even in the present
Congress; and concluded by say
ing: "Now if the gentleman
from Missouri will turn to to the
annals of Congress, away back in
1916, during the period of liberty
such as he thinks he desires, he
will find that John Randolph,
who certainly was heard enough
to become famous for a century
was complaining about the despo.
tism of the rules at that period
and was also complaining that
even the arch inquisitcr himself
would have been satisfied with
the wickedness of them. So you
see that human nature is the same
lin all time The uproarioue
laughter Of the House as Mr.
Reed stopped did not argue vel
for Mr.. De Almonds aspiration
to become the leader of the mi
nority in the next House.
