A White Lover OF Justice

Much satisfaction was expressed yes

many OF his admirers in this country

were Included in the terms Of the second
match between tire pair, Taylor's chances
| of defeating his French corqueror would
be improved. So far as known here, no
agreement had been made for a third

PhotOrraphic Dark Room.

A Photographic dark room is not a
room which is absolutely lark, but
one which is so arranged that no ac-
tinic light can enter. This is accom-
plished by covering the source of light,
whether it be natural or artificial, with
a sheet of ruby glass. which allows
only the non-actinic rays to pass
through. Thus, if the room be used in
the daytime, the window is glazed with
ruby glass instead Of ordinary glass;
if a lamp is used, it is covered with a
shad Of ruby glass. ; Sometimes the
ruby glass is not perfectly light-proof,
and to make sure it is we'll to cover 1t
with sheet Of yellow paper, by which
means the actinic rays are effectually
shut out. Some photographers use no
ruby glass, merely covering the win
dow with two or three thicknesses of
this yellow paper. but it is as we'll, es-
pecially for beginner, to err on the
safe side AID to use both the ruby
glass and one sheet Of yellow paper.

BIG LITERATURE.

Ephemeral Writing Dying Out-Immortal
Works Are Coming. ,4<
Certain critics predict that we shall
come in sight of the great novels soon.
They say that the trail is warm and
that the footprints are large. A great
deal of clamor arises here and there
and publishers are holding up jack
rabbits for deer, but great game is not
yet In sight. Seriously, it is a ques-
ton whether present tendencies are
conducive to the making of immortal
works In literature. To be brilliant
nowadays is to be successful, even If
not great. A striking or unusual plot,
new, and startling style and extern
sive advertising by shrewd publishers
combined with an element of luck, in
sure the author good financial returns
and some reputation. These are not
small stakes, and when it is being
demonstrated that works of little
value can secure them. it is strong
temptation to literary workers to leave
serious and more plodding efforts for

and summer drinks. Romantic liter
allure has the stage now-the flashing
blade, the picturesque duel, the hero
that laughs at a dozen opponents and
bows gracefully to pretty woman be-
tween victims. We cannot have great
literature until authors can take their
work seriously and their gifts serious
ly, until they can forego present re-
wards and strive for their highest at
