James Martineau, the English Unitarian
preacher and writer, who died recently at
the extreme age of 50, was one of the
most interesting figures in the religious
world of our time. DR.. Edward Everett
Hale writes for the February magazine
number of The Outlook, New York, an
article of personal Renaissance about DR..
Martineau, which is accompanied by sew
eral heretofore unpublished portraits and
other Illustrations. This number of the
Outlook contains also the second paper in
Mr.. Mabies' series on civilian Shaks
PEREZ" 1t deals with Shakspere's boy -
hood, education and surroundings at STRAIT
ford, and is illustrated with many pictures,
some quaint in their antiquity, some
beautiful in their presentation of the STRAIT
ford of today.

How to Get a Travelling Library.

At the meeting of the Federation of
WOmen's Clubs at Lyndouville last Octo-
Der, the subject of travelling libraries was
made prominent on the program. AS a
result, much interest was expressed and a
committee was appointed to purchase and
place such libraries as might be presented
by the clubs of the Federation. This com
mittee have several libraries nearly ready
TO go out. They average about 30 volumes
of fresh readable books in neat case.
These Libraries will be sent upon applica-
ton, to communities now destitute of lib
rary privileges. They will be allowed to
remain until they have been generally
read, presumably six months. No money
is asked for the use of the libraries, but
the community receiving them will be ex-
pected to pay the cost of transportation, to
provide for the housing and care of the
library, and to name one or two persons
who will be responsible for the proper use
Of the books.
The committee would be glad TO furnish
further information and help to those
wishing to obtain the books. Apply to
the chairman, Mrs. Walter p. Smith, 20

 Speed of Ocean LInerA

In an article in Cassier's Magazine on steam speeds at sea, MT. Oldham says twenty-five years ago the Atlantic had never been crossed by a screw steamer at q greater rate than fifteen miles an hour, that of the fastest liner, Scotia, Today steamers have reached the speed of Twenty-Five miles an hour. and, although the power required to propel steamer varies with the cube of the speed, yet, before third of the next century expires, another increase of at least 10 per cent in ocean speed may be safely predicted. The con- struetion of steamer of 65,O00 tons will probably not trouble the con structors of the future nearly as much as did the building of the Great East ern those of the past.
