subject of spirals and has devoted much attention to the works of Da Vinci. Ex- amining the drawing of the master. he tells of landscape and figures, evidently studies for pictures, "botanical sketches, architectural plans, biographical notes, numerous engineering problems, many mathematical inquiries, the whole dashed down without much order in a very fer- yor of investigation"
 It is curious how far the study of the spiral will carry one. Take a lead pen- cil and a bit of twine and twist the cord around the pencil. If you are right hand ed you will make the first turn of the string toward the right. If you are nat urally left handed you will reverse the spiral of the string. Spiral columns are of a remote antiquity. Now, suppose you found a spiral beginning on the left, are you to take it for granted that the artifi- cer was left-handed? The torques of the early periods show the left twist.
 Are we to believe, then that there were more left-handed people than there are today? Many of the walking sticks com ing from Africa show this sinistral spiral. Was Ireland left-handed, because so many of the Irish torques twist to the left? Granted that in ornament or decoration there is no such thing as spontaneous generation. Are we to account for the spiral forms found in some of our native earthenware, for the reason that such twists are seen in Malay ornament. and that they came to Alaska by means of Buddhist influence. along the Annoy val ley. through the Yakoots to the Aleutian Islands?' We are not yet prepared to grant that much.
 In his book Mir. Cook dwells at length on the lotus as the oldest form of spiral, and he believes that as a spiral lecora ton it owes its widespread popularity to the fact that the lotus was the symbol "of creative energy and of the strength and divinity of the sun." He tells us that the lotus was used for the first time in the decoration of the English throne in Westminster Abbey in 1902. Remem- bering that England Is virtually the ruler of the country of the Nile. the presenta- tion of the sacred lotus was not out of place. With the spiral as your hobby you may extend your topic indefinitely. even with the corkscrew. For an illus tration there is a head of Leonardos. his ''Leda." The lady wears her hair in massive coils that is according to the author but another study in spirals. Truly the more we accomplish the more closely we copy After nature.

In Calvert of Strathore we have story in which Thomas Jefferson is one of the chief figures. And like that great diplo- mat of former times, the narrative is slow, meditative, and as a previous cri- tic says, mature. As a rule. anything wearing the aspect of maturity will in- cite confidence. But sometimes maturi- ty is a rheumatic old gentleman, with a centenarian's knowledge of the world, knowing whereof he speaks" and say ing well what he does speak and fin good round pure English at that. but he lacks the verve and go If youth eternal...... genius. The fire that signifies passion will not be found in this book, even the splendors of the French Court are lack lustrely portrayed. We are lost in the labyrinth of trivalitie. but gradually the theme of the book attaches itself to us. but we are breathless with interest. We plod along slowly. following. as it were. the steady, precise and smooth scratch of the writer's pen. The book is decidedly rigid, and the characters stand out like so many pegs.

The whole thing Is void of inspi- ration; it is moSe like work of studied art. I think tsyit it was the writer's in- tention to steer off from the shallow wa- ters of the historical novel and in that effort he drifted to waters too deep and too profound. And the consequence is, he has placed before us gallimaufry, taste,ess and not wholly relishable. The book has not "after effect on you; 1t brings no tear in your eye. it arouses no long latent desire or passion in your breast. There is not enough vitality in it, and neither does the writer. Calvert or Adrinne, know how to make love. do not mean that a book should reek with synchronals and resound with the clanking swords of dozen or more obstreperous scalawags in order that 1t be lively. There are deeper and stiller channels through which a writer may appeal to his audience, the public. Yes, this book Is mature and profound. but profundty minus little hyperbole makes Jack dull boy.

And then, such dime novel features as this seem out of place in the otherwise calm and even noble strafH of the book And there is still anothef scene where young Calvert is just in ftfrne to save Adrienne, his lady love, from fSsefhg insulted by the French nobleniaf2,q Atilaire. who can smile and smile Ahd still be a villain"

pure literature. We trust that the public will echo the growing sentiment in the favor of pure love-making in the stories of life.
 Religious histories are very much in evidence. Religious education is receiv- ing so much attention at the present time that the revival of church history writing has commenced. Some very eX- cellent works are on the market. and they are calculated to advance the in- terests of the State as we'll as the church, by making the people better &C., quanted with the good" people and the prominent" people of the past genera tions.
 Cyrus Townsenn Brady has surprised the novel reading world by the unusual quality of his last work, "The South erners." Though written from a North ern standpoint, Its leading characters and its victor are Southern men, and in se- lectlng a name for the book this idea was so impressed upon the author that he gave 1t the above name. The story is a powerful study of character, and leads one up to climaxes which are extremely exciting; yet there is no yellow novel'' style about the work.
 The Path of Evolution" a new book published by Altemus, deserves condem- nation. The book teaches the basest idea of religion, and is calculated to come nearer leading to suicide than it Is to a higher life.
 One of the most typical Southern novels that has ever been written, will be found under the name of Bayou Triste.' It is a pure, sweet and pathetic story. It brings vack the days of long ago. and shows very accurately the attachment ex- isting between the old ante -bellum dar- key and the typical Southern gentlemen. It is a true picture of Southern ante bellum negroes and the children and grandchildren of their masters

In a recent colume called '"Spirals in Mature and Art" by Theodore Andrea Book, there is brought strikingly into prominence innumerable forms known to architecture found in shells. MT. Cook is an enthusiast in regard to the spiral and its artistic properties. Most enter taining Is the way. described by the au- thor, how 1t came about that his attention was directed to shells, their spirals, as having much to do with artistic lines. He was aiming with a company at Oxford and among those present were some dis tinguished biologists. AS an artist MT. Cook had made some sketches of build ings in Blois. A volume of his "Old LOT raiEe'' was to be published and some of the proof engravings were exhibited. One was a print of a staircase in Blois built by an architect whose name had been hitherto unknown in the early sixteenth century at Blois." The picture was kind ly received, when one of the party, prob- ably a conchologist declared that the lines of that staircase followed precisely the confguration of a particular shell known as the Voluta vespertille. MT. Cook declared that he was ''abashed. be- logged but keenly interested" Then the actual shell was brought, a longitudinal incision was made, and the lines were found to follow the precise turn and twist of the staircase. Then there came to MT. Cook as flash, the idea that this French staircase of Blois had been suggested to the architect by the lines of some shell. A study in the South Kensington museum showed that naturalists had called their shells Voluta Scalaris and even Scalaria scalaris. The connection between shells and staircases was evidently present in the minds both of these who had be- slowed these names on shells and of those persons who had seen and admired a building sufficiently to recognize the nat ural objects it recalled"
 Just here comes in very clever piece of historical research. Who was it who designed that staircase at Blos and fol- followed so closely the twist and turns of the shell? You would have to dis cover some one not only who had archi- tectural proficiency but was also a great deal of a naturalist. Precisely such man was Beonardo Da Vinci who was not alone great artist but was ''mathe- matician, scientist and engineer" Now, we know that Leonardo did remain at Blois for a fairly long period, so 1t may not be questioned that it was Leonardo who designed the staircase. MT. Cook has certainly spent years of study on the
