Let There Be Light" by David Lubin;
published by @. p. Putnam's Sons
The title of this book in full continues
thus. ''The story of a WOrkingmeu's
club; its search for the causes of poverty
and social inequality; its discussions, and
its plan for the amelioration Of existing
evils"
Six wOTkingmen, experiencing and OBJ
serving the imperfections of existing So
cial conditions, meet to discuss those
conditions and TO seek the causes of the
impeTfectiOn. Their Investigations lead
/ them to the conclusion that the root OF
che evil lies in the defects of the religious
systems of the world. OF course, the final
result is their formulation of new beliefs
and the proposed establishment of new
church.
The discussions of the club and its
friends are told in collOquial fashion, the
arguments are easily followed and there

a Book of Verses" BY Nixon Water,
man Published by Forbes & Co.
If only sweetest bells were rung,
How we should miss the minor chimes.
If only grandest poets sung,
There'd be no simple, little rhymes"
Mr. Waterman formulates his theory
and his ideals OF poetry in the lines just
quOted-a theory that has limited value,
and an ideal that IS dWarting In its kill
| ing of aspiration of the higher kind. he
says again in The Everyday Poet:'
II amt very much of a poet;
/ L can't soar so aWfully high;
| I'm kind O. lOw-geared, and 1 know It
And have to keep out Of the sky
| And having thus declared himself, Mr..
Waterman proceeds to indulge his muse
/ in a pasture of Outworn phrases, trite
/ adjeCt1Ves and commonplace rhymes And
/ Mr.. Waterman can do better when he
I tries; that is why the reader has a right
/ to word of protest. There Is genuine
/ feeling in many of the love lyrics, a real
/ understanding Of nature in other poems,
/ and a sympathetic knowledge Of children
/ in the verses concerning them.
/ Poetry of thought and of expression Is
! found in "A Winter Reverie.
| when June comes laughing back again,
with roses tangled in her hair,
/ That in a silken mesh falls down TO hide
her shoulders full and fair,
/ Then will she WOO this dear old earth,
and, brushing back his locks of gray,
| Within her soft arms rock him till she
charms his wintry' scars away.
There is music, TOO in a little poem CALI
ed Love and Reason" which begins;
''The Hly's lips are pure and white with
out a touch of fire;
/ The roses heart is warm and red and
sweetened with desire.
Mr. Waterman began his career not very
many years ago as a reporter for the Chi
cagO Journal. He went, after a time, to
Boston, where he now lives. The little
volume of poems will give pleasure 10 all
who love the simple lyrics of hOmely life.

The gold standard is responsible for
the starvation IN India, says a contem-
porary. The gold standard has been
fastened upon this country by the
party which this contemporary sup
ports. Except for a series of lucky ac-
cidents this policy would have caused
disaster in this country similar
to that which is devastating
India. The party that established the
gold standard in This country could not
have foreseen the "series of lucky acct
dents" which prevented the consumma-
ton Of its hellish purpose. Yet the 10
cal Republican organ, knowing all this,
and admitting it, still proclaims alleg-
lance to that party. What kind of
friends of the people are such parti-
sans?

The Discovery of the Spectroscope.

It was in 1860 that Kirchhoff and
Bunsen added this new weapon to the
arsenal Of scientific research. The spec
troscope itself, as an instrument, was
an invention in the department OF op-
tics, but its applications to chemistry
were among the most obvious and the
most startling Of its achievements.
With its aid new elements were dis
coyered-rubidium caesium, thallium.

investigation it found immediate user
but. more than all. it made possible the
analysis of the heavenly bodies. ana
proved that the same kinds Of matter
exist throughout the visible universe.

speculation upon the chemistry or the
stars was in vain; with its advent the
material unity of planets, suns, ana
uebulae was made clear. To the as
trononier, a new eye was given; TO the

Many persons use wheels, while others

that costs but 5 cents on street cars.
Circles are being formed by those who
sympathize with the strikers for the
purpose of influencing every one posi-
