strange beasts of heraldry. The horse
has a birds beak and claws in the
grOtesques, but all We're already in ma
rure, and are only composed anew The
sole aesthetical difference between the
realistic and the romantic in fiction,
which there has been. SO much noise
about, is that the realist prefers to
take nature as he finds her, and the rO-
manifest wishes to make her over.
For the reader, whether he is an
author or not. the test of q novel 5
truth is his own knowledge. If it is
like what he has seen or felt, then il is
true and for him 1t can no. otherwise
be true, that is to say beautiful
1t viii not avail that it has style, learn
ing, thinking, feeling; 1t is no more
beautiful without truth than the beau

Since the death Of Victor Hugo. no
great novelist has been a TOmanticist,
though literature sWarms with minor
rOmanticists. These are still incOmpar-
ably the most popular nOvelists. De
cause the greatest nUmbe~ of people
in the world. even the civilized world,
are people of weak imagination, pleased
with exaggeratiOn and imprObability.
1t is certainly easier to lib than to
tell the truth about life, or get the
true effect of life. which is more nearly
what I mean This, indeed, is almost
hODelessIy difficult, as anyone may
prove by trying to treat frankly and
faithfully any sort of familiar Incidents
in an ina ginary narration. To make a
character stand up or sit down, either
gracefully or awkwardly, SO that the
reader can see him doing it: to make
people talk naturally and with real in
terests to bring them in or out of the
room. is to treat that phase of the
problem in which their natures more
subtly or more distinctly express itself
than it does in the great emergencies
and CatastrOphes.
Some of the love scenes, even in so
great a novelist as George Eliot, are
almost revolving but there is nothing
better than a. love scene when it is well
done, though there can be other things
quite as good. The reason why love
making is supposed to be first among
cause, I fancy, most novel readers are
supposed to be Of the love making age;
but again I have my doubts. I believe
q careful inquiry would prove that the
greatest number of novel readers are
past the IOVe-making age. even among
women, who, it is well known, age so
much more slowly than men.
Il believe that the novelist has a
grave duty to his reader. and wish his
reader realized that he had a grave
duty to the novelist. It is the nOvelist's
business, not only to amuse you. but
10 entertain you It is his business to
make you understand the real world
through his faithful effigy of it: or as
have said before. to arrange a perspec-
tive for YOU with everything in its pro-
per relation and proportion. so that you
can not err in it, however myopic or

HELPLESS CONDITION.
Q. s. Navy Gould Operate In Few
Parts of the World

Washington, Nov 9.-The urgent ne
cessity of active cOaling stations for
our WaTshipS is dWelt upon by Rear
Admiral Bradford, chief of the naval
bureau of equipment, in his report TO
the secretary of the navy. He relates
the difficulties encountered during the
war with Spain in securing coal, trans
porting it and getting it aboard the
ships While these efforts were sue
cessful, the admiral says, 1T was due
almost entirely to the near proximity
of the theater of war to our own coast
Admiral Bradford says that a United
states feet if called upon to act at any
point across the Atlantic must encOun-
ter even greater difficulties than were
found by Admiral Cervera. LAS a mat
ter of fact" continued Admiral Brad
ford, lit may be stated without fear of
contradiction that at present it would
be impossible for United states fleet
to carry on active operations during a
war anywhere about the coast of Eur
Ope, Africa, a large part of Asia and
South America for want of coal.
This country has assumed a position
Of great responsibility in connection
with the maintenance of the sovereign
" of the territory of the South Ameri-
can republic against aggression on the
part Of a European nation, yet there
is not a single port where coal or sup
plies may be obtained in time of war
by a United States ship anywhere on
the eastern or western coast of South
America In the West Indies and the
Pacific ocean we are now somewhat
better off. It is of paramount i'm
pOrtance, however. to establish a coal
depot on each side of the isthmus Of
Panama, near the termini Of the 18th
milan canal
The report says under strategic po-
siticn a COafing station should be es-
tabIished near the Yucatan passage,
the Windward passage. Mona passage
and Virgin passage, all being important
strategic locations. The Importance Of
a cOaiing station on each side of the
Isthmus OF Panama can not be over
estimated
Guam, it is stated. probably will in
the near future, be a cable station and
it is proposed to store 10000 tons of
coal there. In the survey of the Pacific
cable route two huge obstacles were
encountered. one a submarine noun
tain, lying between the Midway islands
and Guam, the second. the deepest sub
marine abyss yet found in the world,
about 500 miles east of Guam, and sink
ing more than 900 fathoms. The
soundings from Honolulu to LuzOn
have shown the route to be entirely
practicable. A branch win run from
Guam to Japan.
