THE OUTLOOK FOR AUTHORS
Really Good Writers Meet Not Fear
Discrimination

The rush of the crowd to read a
book which may have no literary merit
or vitality, either of material or of
presentation, simply because it is
talked about, is never wholesome, and
II the crowd has grown more critical
and clear minded in it's judgments,
and has ceased to move upon sudden
impulses and learned to decide for
itself the loss will fall, not on writer's
of real merit, but on few whose re-
wards were generally beyond their
deserts The average of literary work
In this country in many departments
Is high. II great books are not pro-
duced In large numbers, good books
are produced In very considerable
numbers, and in soundness of knowl-
edge, In good taste and literary work
manship, great advance is evident
over the work of an earlier generation.
1t is period Of quiet progress, time
of preparation rather than a time Of
accomplishment.

What One Man Said.

At the City Federation meeting in
the Waldorf there were many amusing
incidents. Husbands of the broad
minded women tarried in the ante
room waiting for their spouses to go
home. One Of these patient escorts
was Leroy Sunderland Smith He
gazed through the glass doors once,
sighed and returned to his chair. Men
would come, inquire for their wives,
and then retreat to the cafe below One
man heard few minutes of certain
paper. He said: "If these women's
clubs did not struggle with the prob
lem Of how to raise other women's
children they would have no excuse
for being" He flung out the last
words savagely and then disappeared

cocted.-NeW York Press.

The position of the foreign residents
was sometimes critical owing to the
mob searching the Babis quarters,
where foreigner missionaries reside.
Every Babi was captured by the rab-
BILE and butchered in whatever man
ner their captors pleased. Their mutt
lated bodies were dragged through the
streets, followed by exultant crowds.
Plumber and outrage were carried on
with the help Of soldiers.
The priests enjoined the populace to
bring all the Babis who were still alive
before themselves or the governor.
The latter at first refused to give way
to the mob's threats, but when his
palace was surrounded he yielded and
ordered that one Babi be blown from
the mouth Of cannon, and that the
throat of another be cut
The total number Of victims is no
stated, but the inference is that they
were numerous.
Yezd has population of 10000. 1t
is a walled city surrounded by deep
trench, and is famous for its bazaars.
Among the the population are many
parsees (fire worshipers), this being
nearly the only place in Persia which
they inhabit.

The Box Kite.

The chief defect of the box kite, Of
which DR.. Langiey's aerodrome is an
elaboration, is that the weight in
creases with the cube as rapidly as
the lifting power does with the
square, so that the larger the kite
the less it will lift in proportion.
Prof. Graham Bells kites are equal
sided triangles. so that they need no
bracing, and it is found that the lift
ing power increased at a greater rate
than the increase in weight. a flock
