the faith of the affirmative intellect
Americanism is the evolutionary product
of historic catholicism. 1t Is itself not
local or national, but a catholic and
world-embracing principle. 1t is the
affirmative and creative as distinguished
from the passive and creaturely attitude
toward life. This Notwithstanding
Americanism is to be propagated through
all lands by the university, which is the
eliminating form of the spirit. The uni

Tradition" a forthcoming novel by
Charles w. Chestnut:
Upon a background of contemporary Southern
life Mr.. Chestnut has written strong. virile
and exciting novel. The story involves the fate
OF a child for whom its parents foresee bright
future, but for whom superstitious old black
nurse grave misfortunes ahead-a fancy
which seems curiously borne out by an adverse
fate There are an interesting love story,
injury avenged with Old Testament rigor, and a
greater wrong nobly forgiven. Among the char
acters editor who heads reactionary so

by wise methods TO elevate his people. The
families OF these two, as part OF the sad heritage
of slavery are bound by unacknowledged tie,
which furnishes the material for an interesting
plot, much fine psychological analysis, and sew
eral strong situations, one OF which is novel
in fiction and tremendous in emotional interest.
Among the incidents a crime, and projected
lynching by which innocent mans life is
endangered. The story eliminates in riot (the
main facts OF which true to recent history

The new edition of John Kimberly Num-

ners will issue in the fall will be eight
months behind time for a reason not COM
mon In book publication. Here is story
of it:
The original edition was issued last fall
and sold completely out in a few weeks,
something quite unexpected by both
author and publishers. At the time there
were orders in hand demanding the i'm
mediate issue of very large second
printing But here came the hitch. The
process of making those remarkable IL
lustrations that reproduce the value Il
rug colorings so closely to almost bs,f-
fle the expert was not a rapid one. In
fact the company behind whose locked
doors this wonder was accomplished de-
clared that 1t was impossible to print a
new set of plates in less than six months.
Nor was there any appeal from this dc
tum, and with hundreds of orders wait
ing the publishers were obliged to post
pone the new edition till fall. 1t will be
ready In early September.

A argues that acids cause fermentation in
saecharine matters. starchy substances and so
on, that salicylic acid preserves such sub
stances from fermenting, which is rightl B. B.
AS claim is wrong. The acid theory OF
fermentation, held by Pliny and by Fab
rioni in the latters famous prize essay OF
1871, was disproved long since. The gen
orally accepted theory lays the cause to
minute living organisms, cells of yeast
fungus, which enter either accidentally,
as in wine cider. or Intentionally, as in
brewing and raising bread. Once intro
duced, they grow and multiply, involving
the consumption ef the sugar. Easicylic
acid is one of a great many antiseptic
substances that are used to prevent fer
mentation.
