M. Camille Flammarion, the French
scientist and writer has interested himself
in psychological phenomena to such an ex-
tent that he has by himself been conduct
ing in France an investigation similar in
character to that which has been carried on
for some years by the English and Amer
lean societies for psychical research Ger
tain events in his own experience and that
of intimate friends having directed his at
tention to the subject he opened corre-
spondence through the pages of a we'll
known Paris magazine with persons who
could tell of such cases of apparitions and
manifestations on the part of the dying or
the dead as had came under their observa-
ton. and of well-defined presentiments.
He received thousands of responses, the
ma ority of which were of no value. but
out OF nearly two thousand bearing direct
ly on the subject he picked out over seven
hundred important documents which he
has classified, and whose contents add. he
considers, to his sum of knowledge concern
ing subject outside the usual range Of
science and literature. These selected let
tiers tell of manifestations from and appari-
tions of the dying, manifestations from and
9pparitions of living persons not ILL., mani
festations and apparitions of the dead,
sight of things taking place far of, pre-
dreams showing the dead meetings fore
seen by some inspiration. presentiments
realized, doubles of persons living. move
ments of inanimate things without ap-
parent cause. communications of thought
at distance, impressions felt by animals.
cries heard at great distance. bolted doors
opening of themselves and haunted houses.
The volume is made up of selections from
these letters, with some appended COM
ments by NJ. Flammarion. The phenomena
described by the many writer's are similar
to those found In the annals of the Psych-
ical Research Society. While these stories
have not been verified as in the other case,
they have been accepted as authentic by
the author of the book and certainly do
bear evidence in their manner of telling
that the narrators themselves believe that
they really had the experiences they set
forth. NJ. Flammarion accepts telepathy
as fact. and evidently regards the testi-
mony offered in the volume as proof that
the soul has an existence independent of
the body. Whether not the reader of
the book shall agree that the evidence Is
sufficient to justify this conclusion, the
fact remains that its pages have a curious
fascination. Interest In the secrets of the
spiritual life is strong in most persons. and
anything that affects to throw light on
them is sure TO attract attention OF wide
class of readers, including, doubtless, not a
few of those who profess disbelief in all
such phenomena. Published by Harper e.
Brothers, New York.

people who live along the river and who
love IL for its beauty and associations re-

incident. and it's main theme Is the venali-

The practice of photographing birds in
nature, though attended with many difficult
ties and requiring an unusual degree OF
skill and patience, Is found by those who
have practiced 1t to be very fascinating as
it certainly is an important branch Of
natural history. Its advantages are the
facilities it affords for depicting the life

nesting sites. nests, eggs, the appearance
and development of young. and other mat
tiers pertaining to their habits which cannot
be adequately described with the pen. A
photograph of the marsh or wood, showing
the favorite haunts of species, is worth
more than pages of description. A picture
of birds nesting site conveys a better
idea of the situation than words can pos
sibly give, while in place of such vague
phrases nest of coarse grasses, weed
stalks, rootlets, ETC., lined with finer ma
terials. the camera gives faithful delinea-
ture of the nest itself. The shape and pat
tern of markings of the eggs may also be
we'll shown with the camera, while the APP
pearance of the young at birth. their de-
velopment and often the manner in which
they are fed. may all be portrayed by the
camera with a realization which convinces
one OF the truthfulness of the results Does
anyone ask what is all this information
worth when 1t is acquired? 1t is worth
much not only TO science and as contribut-
exist around US, but also in the way OF
lifting men out of themselves and leading
them TO take an interest In other forms Of
life and other lives than their own. The
great world OF animal life affords an ex-
haustless field for profitable study, and
that of birds and bird life is not the least
interesting and instructive. Bird Studies

author of Handbook of birds OF Eastern
North America" is delightful presenta-
ton of the subject from the standpoint Of
one who is a lover OF birds for their own
sake and who Is skilled In bird lore and
an expert in photography The first chap

with descriptive comments. There are
riore than hundred of these illustra-
tons, representing great variety Of
scenes in bird life and actions of birds

w. W. Jacobs has misnamed his new
story. Instead of "A Master of Craft" IL
should be called "A Master Pirate of wom-
ems Affections" The story has run
through one of the popular magazines. and
it is already familiar to many readers. but
1t is worth rereading in book form. Mr..
Jacobs has attained some popularity a

are not sea tales, in the Clark Russell

been drowned and goes into hiding. He
