Literary Notes.
MANUEL DADIvAs

The never-failing complete novel of
Lippincott's Magazine for March is a
brilliant story by Francis Willing
Wharton, who, despite the masculine
spelling of her name, Is said 10 be a
lady of social rank in Philadelphia.
This short novel Is written with con-
tagiOus dash, as much of her previous
work has been, and tells Of the adven-
lures of a young woman of fashion who
wanted more thrilling experiences than
those furnished by the afternoon tea
table or the monotonOus ball room
She carried on wild Irritation with
the elderly uncle of her true lover
and as final stroke masqueraded in his
company at a country-tair. This brought
comedy near to "a tragic end and secured
sound punishment for the old beau; but
it brought the twain together whom
nature had ordained for each other and
ended the story in a breeze. There Is "a
simplicity and charm about Mrs. Whar.
tons stories that win them enduring
friends.
In variety and value of contents the
March number Of The Smart Set is the
best yet issued of this magazine, which
has established itself as the most i'm
portant exponent Of contemporary fiction.
"Araby,' novelette, by the Baroness
Won Hutton heads the number. The
story is one of great charm. IL Is as re-
alistic as romatlc and 10 conveys in crisp
dialogue and movement vivid pictures
of modern life in phases as numerous as
are the characters Of this narrative There
is lesson in "AraOy," and that pow
erful one; but there is always, first and
always, the story itself, vital and hum.
an, the story of an unusual passion in
which the instinct Of the primitive saw.
age and the conditions of our twentieth
century civilization meet and was. The
author has achieved work of fiction at
once absolutely distinctive and wholly
fascinating. 1t is one of the best novel
cites yet published in The Smart Set
In so saying we give 1t the highest
praise.
The March number Of the Woman's
Home Companion opens with a charming
description of The coming of spring, 7"
by Ernest Harold Baynes. Wireless Tel
egraphy" is explained by ali expert and
another timely article deals with 1.-The
First President of the Cuban Republic. -
The paper on "Courtshlp and Marriage
Customs in many Lands" treats OF the
queer ceremonies OF the Hindu and
Parsee. There is thrilling instsllment
Of "Deeds of Heroism of Women in the
OWL War. The fiction includes stories
by Clinton Ross, Will Payne and Mary
Tracy Earle. A new feature is "Thumb.
nail Editorials" by famous women.
There is an article on the new game,
Ping.pong; there are stories for children
and many pages of Easter fashions.

A New Departure.

Every since the early talking machine
was created and made practicable by the
inventors of the Graphophone who
equipped il with wax cylinders,
hundreds OF plans have been devised for
constructing some permanent mould or
master record" from which duplicate
records could be producedin any number
and at any future time, no matter how
remote. The history of these futile at
tempts during the past ten or twelve
years would make book. Ingenious
men in Europe, az we'll as America,
have tried 10 attain this result which
has generally been conceded 20 be the
particular contamination most dOvOutly
TO be wished IN connection with the
graphophone business, but ali efforts
have failed until recently when the Col
umbia Photograph Company perfected q
metal record mould for which patents
have now been issued BY this new and
greatly simpllhed manner OF making
not only is the product vastly improved
the harsh metallic grating sounds being
entirely Obviated, but when once "a song
"A speech, a musical selection or anything
| else has been cast III the metal mould II
may be reproduced on millions OF wax
cylinders, if need be, and nc any time
near or remote. Had, for example, the
striking speech made by President Nc
Kinley, al Buffalo, just PRIOR 70 his as
sassination, been duly taken and pre-.
served by this new method. copies OF It,
on regular graphophone cylinders might
have been supplied TO ev cry person IN the
| United States and 10 the jewellers IN AL
other countries where such records
might be desired.
Hitherto the multiplication of graphic.
| phone records from the original was
very limited even under the most favor
able circumstances. The master records
so called, were in the nature of things
comparatively few in number and from
them only "a certain number Of copies
was possible, while the tendency was
for these 20 possess less volume than
| the originals from which they were made
| BY the new method every record made
Is fully equal 10 the original and their
appearance on the M lrket is causing a
sensation. II l. now possible for any
singer. orator or musician 20 make a
record that can be transformed into a
metal one capable Of being preserved for
| all time and from which copies can be
made iu any number, whenever desired.
The very words and tones Of "A speaker,
and the voices Of those who sing on any
private or pubic occasion can be per
manently enshrined. In short, the end
for which so many nave been striving
has, at last, been achieved by the
Columbia Photograph Company and by
this present triumph they move forward
another long stitch in advance.
