devils of lurid dramas; only uncouth and often illused men of primitive mold.
 Really l cannot say precisely when l conceived the idea of this novel-if indeed it was not of spontaneous birth. Pos sibly it was in some of the many episodic pageants, planned for the carnival; per- haps in the study and reference demand- ed to write of them. Out of the pages of Gilmore Slime, of Esten Cooke, of Cooper, Irving, Hawthorne and many an- other, a richer hued and more languorous moving drama stalked-its heroes actual ones, its action only what they had wrought for or achieved.
 "A drama for the careless as the thoughtful-for the crude as the studious. 1t was ten years ago that l first felt i'm pelled to write q story with Bienville as he really looked to me--for central figure.
 Then the flood of historical novels swept the impulse off its feet Three years since l found it stranded amid the wreckage on the sands. It was still warm. 1 went to New Orleans to open the lecture course of the winter school of America. Then I went blind; but re- tained my memory of the theme that had haunted me Now l am here 10 borrow Mrs. Clisbys eyes and industry and to sandpaper the romance of the cradle Into what polish l may"

PROTECTING NIAGARA FALLS
Large Power Companies Diverting the
Waters Are Destroying Scenic
Grandeur.

Visitors to Niagara falls in recent
years have noticed the diminution in the
flow of water over the precipice, and
have felt apprehensions that an in
crease in the diversion of the river to
furnish power for manufacturing uses
would greatly reduce the scenic at
tractiveness Of the cataract. There are
now five large power companies divert
ing water from the river above the falls,
two companies being on the American
side and three on the Canadian side.
This draft, says the Troy Times, cannot
fail to have its effect on the volume OF
the cataract itself.
A movement has been begun to add to
the diversion by carrying the water OF
the river to Lockport, and, after using
it there, emptying it into Lake Ontario.
The friends of the falls as an American
attraction are becoming anxious at the
steady increase in the attacks made
| upon the scenic grandeur of Niagara.
| The state government has spent large
sums of money in establishing, main
tanning and improving the public reser-
vation at the falls, and Canada has done
| likewise.
The late Andrew H. Greene was con-
stant and vigilant defender of Niagara,
and did much to make it accessible to
the public. 1t is to be hoped that his
death will not weaken the defense, but
that those who believe that the natural
Inheritance of the people in the way OF
phenomenal scenery should be pre-
served, and that the material develop
ment of resources should not be the only
, object sought, will unite in action to
prevent further attacks upon the dig
nifty of one of the proudest possessions
of the state.
