The New York Independent has the
following to say of one of the latest
books: Nearly t%wo-thirds of The
Redemption of David Corson' can be
safely said to sag with the weight of
David Corson's iniquities, DR.. Goss
not only describes the color and odor
Of these, but he projects them separ-
ately and in groups with m~elodramatc
force. The wicked love between
David and Papeeta is worked up to the
highest pitch of passion, and follows
every line of the book from where 1t
enters to the last chapter. We have
never read any novel in which illicit
love is more vehemently described OF
more p~ersistently kept before the
reader. . 1t does not follow
that because God has made possible
the redemption of a profigate like
David Corson, therefore it is right ia
describe that profiigate in a dramatic
story for freside reading.

Practical Use In China.
1t was DR.. MACEDONIAN who some
years ago described the manner in
which floating fields and gardens are
formed in China. In the month of
April a bamboo raft 10 to IL feet long
and about half as broad is prepared.
The poles are dashed together. with
interstices Of an inch between each.
Over this a layer Of straw an inch
thick is spread. and then a coating two
inches thick of adhesive mud is taken
from the bottom of a canal or pond
which receives the seed. The raft is
moored to the bank in still water and
requires no further attention.. The
straw soon gives way and the soil
also. the roots drawing support from
the water alone. In about 20 days the
raft becomes covered with the creeper.
and its stems and roots are gathered
for cooking. In autumn it's small

sent a very pretty appearance. In
some places marshy land is probably
cultivated in this manner. d.
/ Besides these floating vegetable gar.
dens there are also floating ricefelds.
Upon RATS constructed as above reeds
and ,adherent mud are placed as a
flooring soil, which, being adhesive and
held in place by weed roots. the plants
are maintained In position throughout
the season. The rice thus planted
ripens in from 60 to 70 in place OF
100 days. The RATS are cabled to the
shore. floating on lakes. pools or slug
gish streams. These floating fields
serve to avert famines. whether by
drought or food. When other fields
