1t is not too deep nor philosophic to be
beyo nd the conception of the lover of
light fiction. and yet In the book will be
found some food for thought by those
Inclined to delve in the deeper mines of
reason.
The author has gathered material from
a thousand different sources, digest ng
and assimilating them into new pro-
ducts. The story has all the charm of
the old magical, mythical tales in, which
good and evil genii controlled the forces
of nature. But in this modern work, sci
cnce takes the place of magic, and the
wonderful fairies of olden times are made
real, and nature is harnessed in the
service of man. not by potent charms and
spells, but by the art of science. There
is sub-structure of possibility that
leaves doubt in the mind as to whether
such things as we read of here can be.
The story opens with a chapter on 1.-The
Ghost of Ancient Egypt where we are
introduced to the doctor, an Psychologist,
and mysterious Spaniard. They have
come to this cradle of life to find what
secrets it's old ruins may give up. They
indulge In many interesting conjecturcs
In regard to the mysteries about them,
and become better acquainted with one
another.
OF course. there is a delightful love
story here, for the world is scarcely salts
fed with book unless it can find the
lover to love: ana in the end the doctor
Is quite content to cease puzzling over
the riddles of life and to accept the en-
1oyment of it's sweetness held out to him
in the guise of love.

The sunny road to Apia
Is Strewn with blossoms wide,
But many a savage foe turks hid
Within the jungle-side.
Twas there the gallant Lansdale stood
One bygone April day,
When unseen hordes cut off from view
The War-Ships in the bay.
Halt! Halt" he cried. Stand. lads, and
fire!
What recks 1t how or when
We die, so that they tell at home
We died like fighting-men!"
His eyes grew dim, yet still beheld
Within that fated zone
His brave men falling at his feet
Till one man stood alone.
And that was Ensign Monaghan.
Across his cheek he felt
The fire; but in his veins there leaped
The red blood of a Celt.
Good byer said Lansdale's feeble voice
His ensign heard him not;
He, too, was passing with his chief
Before that rain of shot.
So died this band. What flag can droop
On foreign shores or seas;
What shield be lost to history
Upheld by men like these?

That weave the victor's crown.
And raise a stone where Lansdale fell
And Monaghan sank down.
