 Miss Whiting finds the title of her
 new book in these lines from Aurora l Leigh" t "Is man could feel !
 Not one, but every day, feast, fast and working-day,
 \ The spiritual significance burn through l The hieroglyphic of material shows,
 Henceforward he would paint the globe with wings" = l The aim of this book is to reveal the
 curiously close correspondence between
 the developments of modern science
 and spiritual laws: to note that new
 forces. as discovered and applied in | wireless telegraphy, are simply laws of an unseen realm into which humanity
 is rapidly advancing and thus gaining a
 new environment. From this evolu- 1 tionary progress, as illustrated by physical science, the author of tT'he Il World Beautifup' continues the same argument presented in those volumes l in plea that the future life is the con- i tinuation and development of our pres I ent life in all it's faculties and powers,
 and that the present may be ennobled by
 the constant sense of the Divine Pres- enoe, and a truer knowledge of the na- I ture of man and his relations to God tending to a highermorality and increas- I ing happiness The book is character
 ized by the same essential style and 1 qualities that have insured for "The World Beautifur' volumes an almost
 worldwide popularity.
 For sale at all the bookstores. In his preface to the English transla-
 tion of Fournier's Napoleon r." the
 editor, Professor Bourne of Yale, 1 gives due credit to the recent Hives" of
 the emperor by Professor Sloane and
 J. H. Rose. But, he adds, that in one
 volume Fournier's book has been gene
 rally recognized as the best brief histo-
 ry of Napoleon that had been written. He continues:
 Among the positive merits of Four rier's Napoleon L." should mention
 the thorough research upon which the
 narrative is based, the interesting, viv- i'd, and at times dramatic style in
 which it is written, it's broad historical
 spirit and impartiality of Judgment, its
 excellent proportions, not allotting un-
 due space to certain phases nor neg- lecting the civil side of Napoleon's ca
 reer, and, finally, its lucid exposition of
 the general historical situation and of
 the various contending factors.
 The English version of the present
 volume is the work of Mrs. Corwin,
 wife of Professor Corwin of Yale and
 granddaughter of the late Rev. pr.
 Leonard Bacon, of New Haven, the en-
 inent divine, and MT. Bissell, a class
 mate of Professor Corwin, Yale '87. who
 is a teacher of note in Lakeville, this
