Another attempt is to be made to bring pure sea water within the reach of Londoners, says the London Tele- graph. It is proposed to tap the chan nel at Lancing, in Sussex, whence the salt waves would be pumped so leyet of nearly 800 feet at the top of Steyn- ing hill It will then flow by gravfta- tion through the main aqueduct to Battersea, and thence across the Thames to Cromwell road, South Ken sington. whence branches are to Do laid for service in Paddington and Kensington, Mayfair, Marylebone and the Strand districts, and in Whitehall and Westminster, from conduit at Charing Cross. It is also proposed to lay another branch main from Far singdon street to Shoreditch and along the Bethnal Green road to Victoria park. The Builder hopes that the main object of this is to provide for sea water swimming baths in London, which would undoubtedly be an im- mense boon to tfe community.

to his manuscript. This power of turn
ing from law to literature was not easily
acquired and was the result of long
training. Mr.. Grant carries his work
with him wherever he goes. He is al
ways storing up impressions, taking men,

construction even when seemingly en-

labor of writing a story is the lightest
part of his task, since he has the en-

well in mind before he puts pen to paper.
He is his own severest critic, and has
often destroyed complete story, feel
ing that it did not do him justice.
Judge Grant is an enthusiastic sports
man, spending a part of every year on
fishing and hunting excursions. He is a
prominent figure in society, an admir-
able talker with keen wit but genial and
sympathetic. His philosophy of life is
a cheerful one, and his well formed habits
of thought and his strong interest in the
questions of the day promise we'll for
his future.
1t is now about two months since the
appearance Oh 0NIodNoneu Bread ana
in looking over that period one cannot
help holding the opinion that this book
has attracted more serious attention and
provoked more sound and instructive
criticism than any recent novel of Ameri-
can life. The majority of the daily pa
pers have given it from one to three col
umns of their book pages, and the liter
airy press in proportion. The reviews
which have already appeared would make
a volume as large as the novel itself
and are surprising in the insight they
show into the conditions which have
brought forth the heroine of "Unleavened
Bread" and in their fair and unpreju-
diced criticism of the book, whether ia
vorable or unfavorable, "Unleavened
Bread is a book that forces the reader
to take sides, that challenges discussion,
and if the reader agrees Judge Grant
he is sure to find the satire very palat-
able. AT present the novel has reached
its twenty second thousand.

Robert Grant was born in Boston in
1852, and has always been identified with
his native city. He was graduated from
Harvard in 1873, and holds the degrees
OF Doctor Of Philosophy and Bachelor of
Laws from his University. In 1879, he
began the practice of law in Boston, q
profession which has claimed the great
er part OF an extraordinarily active life.
In 1888, he married the daughter of Sir
Alexander Gait of Montreal. At present
he is Judge of the Probate Court of Suf
folk county, and has held other import
ant positions of public trust He has
made brilliant success in his chosen
profession, but it is as writer that he
is best known to the country at large.
Mr.. Grants literary career began when
he was q student at Harvard College,
and his first work appeared in the college
papers, and later in "Old and New"
When his burlesque of Greek tragedy,
1.-THE Little Tin Gods on Wheels" APP
peared in the Harvard Lampoon, it at
tracted much attention and was widely
quoted 1t paved the way for 1.-THE Con-
fession of a Frivolous Girl which ap
peared in 1880, and was an immediate
success. This book gave the young au-
thor a name, and in the next fifteen
years fully a dozen volumes came from
his pen. They give strong evidence of
his varied powers, his keen observation
and fertile invention. His subjects vary
from light burlesque to the inimitable
satire of ',Unleavened Bread" He has
written two delightful stories for boys.
AS social philosopher he has been best
known until the appearance of "Un-
leayened Bread
'sThe Reflections of a Philosopher"
"The Opinions of Married Man."
'Searchlight Letters and 1.-THE Art Of
Living are too well known to require
more than passing mention.
AS might be expected Judge Grant is
rapid worker in the hours which IA
jeolous profession leaves for literature,
and has cultivated the power of concen-
tration to the highest degree. The
greater part of his writing is done dur
ing the intervals of business in the morn
ing hours at his office. He will drop his

AMUSEMENTS.

THE STORM.-"The Storm was pro-
duced at the New National Theater yester-
day afternoon, and the steady augmenta-
ton Of the number of auditors was again
noticeable The collection Of silent palms
in the orchestra gave place to musicians
and the occasion seemed on the whole to
have more theatric formally than usual,
despite the fact that there were points in
the performance which obviously indicated
deficient rehearsal The play encounters
formidable obstacles in impressing an
American audience. The rigid domestic dis
cipline which holds in continental Eu-
ropean countries is unknown here. The
shrewish mother-in-law Is familiar topic,
but she figures In a rather humble sphere
as a subject for the perfunctory satirist,
and not as the inspiration Of tragedy. In
Anglo-Saxon life the iron-jawed matron
who wrecks the lives of her son and his
wife would have been told to HE her to the
comic papers, while the young people went
out to swing in the hammock. The mother
in-law was well played by Kate Hassett.
Indeed the cast averaged very well, with
the exception of Donald Robertson, who
met with that cruelest of reminders, the
laugh in the wrong place. The play again
presented Miss Florence Kahn very favor
ably. Her acting opportunities were nu-
merOus and her realization of the charac-
ter's moods possessed both intelligence and
animation. Although she is a woman of
STRIKING appearance, ner appear Is more TO
the heart than to the understanding. She
seems to feel SO intensely herself that the
auditor follows her of his own accord. and
in the stress of emotion forgets to note an
occasional faltering of technique. The play
has a great deal of human interest and is
in key with the program of this organiZa-
ton, whose promoters seem 50 wrapt up
in their artistic purpose that they neglect
to give 1t concrete appel1ation by which
it may be celebrated. The dramas have so
far been restricted to the school which
brings its characters into situations which
might occur in any mortal experience. and
then makes them work out the cold logical
consequences. In some cases the moral
| most strongly suggested is the old aphorism
which asserts that your absolutely consis-
tent man is a fool. A modern play makes
a fine intellectual relish. If taken sparing-
ly; say in just about the quantity in which
the present enterprise offers it. Too much
would cause tendency to the morbid. One
of the prominent figures in the cast was
Ethel Chase Sprague, whose work was no.
tably good. The interest shown yesterday
would indicate that the course of modern
plays may, so far as Washington is con-
cerned. be accepted as an appreciated an
we'll as a very desirable institution.
