THE Red Axe" by S. r. Crockett is the
story Of the career Of the son of a Ger
man executioner who ieryed one Duke Ca
simir of the Wolfmak. 1t is in no way
very different from oher tales of advent

year The introduction of the headsman's S
family recalls Jokai, while the figure of
the heroine Helene, and the Lady lsolinde.
a sort of secondary hgoine, remind ore OF
Blackmore. MIR. Crockett is only thor
oughly original when ne sticks to the kali
yard. However this is a good story. well
told, and while it is of no especial value
to literature, it is entertaining to the
casual reader. (Nep York; Harper &

Limits of Heat and Cold.

Extremes of heat and cold can be
produced artificially to such intense ex-
tents nowadays that it is physical i'm
possibility to measure them with abso-
lutte accuracy. 1--WE cannot measure the
infinitesimal, says Charles Whiting
Baker, editor of Engineering News.
"The best we can do is to make care
ful estimates. The greatest heat pro-
duced artifcially is that of an cleo
trio arc furnace, the kind that is used
in the production of artificial diamonds,
calcium carbide, etc. 1t is so intense
that nothing exists with which to re-
cord it. 1t is estimated. however, to be
of about 4, 900 degrees F.
1.-The coldest known temperature is
that of liquid air, which freezes alcohol
and mercury and distances all means of
measuring. 1t is claimed for it that
with it a temperature of 400 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit is reached. The
present limits of heat and cold are
therefore represented by the arc fur.
mace and the liquid air. "

There are many hearse drivers in the

The letting Of hearses is a long estab-

ers. Perhaps half of the undertakCrs of
the city do not keep hearses, hut hire

happens that in answering calls from

owned by the liverymen are constantly
employed. 1t might be that all the
