THE DEATH OF THE FAIRS.

A MOTHER NAME that was indis-
n solubly mingled with the history
of the west has been blotted out. so far
as this generation is concerned. Charles
Fair, the sole surviving son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. James G. Fair of Cali
fornia. was killed Thursday in an auto
mobile accident in France In the
same accident his wife met death. The
couple left no children.
The casualty teaches an impressive
lesson of the risks attendant on the
operation of fast automobiles. Mr..
Fair ranked among the most expert OF
all the amateur chauffeTrs. He be-
came interested in automobiles when
they were first placed on the market,
and had made a careful study of them.
Speed possibilities seemed to possess a
special fascination for him. He
wanted the fastest machines money
could buy.
AT the time of the accident, the report
says. Mr. Fair was operating his auto
mobile on a French road at speed of
sixty-two miles an hour. more than a
mile minute. And that was not the
limit of the automobiles speed, for il
could have been run at the rate of
seventy-four miles an hour. faster than
the fastest railroad train. OF course
the rate at which Mr.. Fair was going
must have been dangerous, not only TO
himself and those with him. but to the
pedestrians and drivers along the high
way.
Yet, secure in his belief in his ability
to avoid accidents, the automobile was
driven recklessly along. for recklessly
is the only possible description of such
a run Suddenly. the description says.
a tire burst, Fair lost control OF his
machine and it slid sideways along the
road for sixty or seventy yards. Then it
dashed up an embankment, turned n
complete somersault and crashed into
great elm tree. Only the professional
chauffeur, who sat on a rear seat, es-
capped with his life.
One result of the accident viii doubt
less be more stringent regulations of
the speed of automobiles in France. In
this case, fortunately, no bystander
was injured, but that was mere chance.
The death of Mr.. and Mrs. Fair win
have a restraining influence on auto
mobile scOrchers in this country There
can be no reason why a man should
wish to travel a mile minute over a
dirt road, other than a desire to reach
the bedside Of a dying relative or
friend, or to secure medical help in an
emergency case.
Automobiles will never come into
popular favor until reasonable caution
in their operation is exercised, and the
sooner the chauffeurs, amateur and
professional, realize this. the better it
will be for the automobile industry.

1t is not often that one is very for

a reading of Mr.. Quiller-Couch's "Sin-

scribes himself as %" The story is a
charming fantasy. Scribners are to

II. G.. Wells may be said TO be the
twentieth century Jules Verne The
former author has the advantage of the
latter, in that his scientific education
was much superior his prophetic in
sight Just as keen and his deductions
more logical. When a young man. Mr..
Wells was a pupil of HuXley-that is,
he came under the instruction of that
grand old man of science in the royal
college of science-and contact with
Huxley must have been inspiring TO a
young enthusiast in science It was
not until he was we'll along in years,
however, that Mr.. Wells took to writ
ing fiction. His first books were text
books on zoology and kindred subjects.
IT is only within d few years that he
has written stories, but he has come
to be the best paid story writer next to
Kipling- Mr. Wells is now at work on
a series of scientific articles which will
begin publication in this country and
in England some time during the fall.

Top or Bottom. Which?" is a book
just published which is supposed to
tell how to succeed. Its publication
adds one more volume to the thousands
of the kind already issued. Are there
any more successful men in the world
because of the tons of good paper
which have been used UP in this way?
The great fault with almost every book
on how to succeed is that it contains
only self-eyident truths One is told
that he must possess integrity, energy,
force of character, capacity of work
and gentlemanly manners in order to
be successful. Does not every one know
these things? You cannot feed a man
on axionls. Are the authors of success
books successful themselves One New
York publisher who conducts a periOdi-
cal of the kind has been near financial
ruin several times Does Mr.. Archer
Brown, the author of Top to Bottom, =
stand at the top himself2 It may
seem hypercritical TO drag the author
into the case. but we are only trying
to decide whether books on success are
worth while reading. Evidently they
are worth while publishing, since they
appear often, but il is question
whether most of the readers of these
abstract works on how to succeed" do
not read them in order TO find out how
TO succeed without working.

II UBLISHERS are OF the option
that the day OF big selling novels
is over-they- do not believe that,
for some time TO come. at least, an
ephemeral piece of fiction viii sell be-
yond the 200. 0e0 mark. There has been
a reaction. they maintain, against the
much heralded and much puffed his
toricaI novel, against the volume of
love letters which were invented by
their ingenious author, against the
confessions of this or that person,
made to seem real by a clever writer.
The prediction is, doubtless, fathered
by the wish, because the strain and
expense of booming is too great. though
as likely as not, the publishers are
wrong in this, as they have been in
other prophecies-but most of US hope
that they are right. The book world
would be bettered by a more genuine
spirit, with less of playing with words
and upon emotions with less of fran
tic effort to supply the need of a pass
ing fancy on the part of the public.
After all, probably the publishers have
themselves TO blame, and as it is, some
OF these are blaming the others The
continued discussion of the present
condition will do more than anything
else to correct some of the faults. Let
the publishers stop the constant boom
ing of books. before the public tires
OF the noise they make and some con-
fidence in the business of supplying
books will yet remain to those who are
not only willing bur anxious to buy
the works. provided only good works
be supplied.
