essential quality of the book. He says:
Writers of this class of fiction have
done tremendous amount OF harm by
treating the undergraduate nearly al

siders himself He IS. in a word, on the

LITERARY NOTES.

l.. C. Hull in an artirfc in the January
'McClure's.' says:
How powerfully the Imagination may
be stimulated by a story told In dots and
dashes is illustrated by an episode of the
Charleston earthquake At the moment
of the final shock, every wire connecting
Charleston with the outside world was
instantly lost. And as no other tidings
could be had from the doomed city. it
was as If in an instant ii had been swept
from the face of the earth. And for many
hours Charleston remained literally dead
to the world
The next morning before the average
citizen had time TO collect his wits. the
telegraph people had started out gangs of
llnenlen to get the wires in working order.
Operators in the principal Offices within
radius of several hundred miles were set
to calling N" For long time there
was no response; but at last. on the wire
which / had in charge. a slight answering
signal was felt rather than heard-faint
and fickering, like the first sign of re-
turning life. From that moment my
watch was. if possible. more diligent. For
an hour or more l called. adjusted" and

ana then once more all signs of life faded
away. Finally, as the wires were grad
nally cleared of debris. the current began
TO strengthen. and then came the an
swering Ill C N"-weak and unsteady
but still sufficiently plain to be made out.
To me it sounded like n voice from the
tomb, and / shouted aloud the tidings
that Charleston WIS still in existence.
Quickly the sounder was surrounded by
throng of excited telegraphers. The Morse
was broken and unsteady at first. Then
the current grew strOnger-the patient
was growing better-and for long time
We listened to the labored clicking, until
at last the worst was known. And at the
end of the recital great sigh went out
from The hearts of all of us, as If literally
