Magazine Notes.

In February Country L1fe Henry DaVld Thoreau's homes are described by Oliver Bronson Capers and photographed by All fred H. Hosmer and W. H. Halliday. The story is told of the cabin that he built with his own hands at the cost of $28 1-2.
 The cabin was built on Emersons land and there Thoreau often entertained as many as twenty-five friends, his best room being the pine grove behind his cab in, his cabin was ten by fifteen feet. Among his fredueft' guests were Ener- son, Alcott, William Ellery Charming:
 Two years. SThoreau lived in his little cabin. The cabin has long since disap- peared, but a cairn of stones markes the spot where it stood, many visitors carry stones to add to the cairn which yearly grows greater.
 L. H. Bailey in How to Make Living from the Land, writes of Rose Garden Under Glass;
 MT. Benjamin Dorrance, owning farm on which his people had lived for five generations, was advised by his physician to give up his law practice and live out of doors as much as possible.
 His Dorrance farm being wornout land he could not successfully make even a truck farm of it. He went for advice to Peter Henderson. The advice he got was Try roses.

You know you always do form an ina ginative portrait of an au- thor whose books you are reading. and I had thought of Mrs. Ward as an ex- tremely intellectual being. a rather small woman with large head and a retiring manner. But she wasn't anything of the sort. On the contrary, she is 8 large. handsome woman, and she carries her self like a grsnde dame. She is an ideal hostess. too. She has way of making you feel that she is condescending to meet you at all. and at the same time of putting you entirely al your ease Yes, know that's a little paradoxical. but it's just what Mrs. Ward does. saw her first at her town house.

We sat under tree near a low wall that divided the meadowland from the garden, and several cows-the cleanest cows I ever saw came up and stuck their heads over the wall and listened, too, apparently with much interest,"

British farmers having suffered from excessive rainfall, MT. J. H. Knight of Garfield, suggests a plan for changing the climate. He would have trees plant ed in all available spaces in the west and south of Ireland and in parts Of Cornwall, and he believes that in fifteen OF twenty years these trees you'd draw much of the rain from the clouds com ing from the Atlantic, causing the tnte- rior of the country to become drier. The winter would perhaps become little colder, though not with the present, damp cold. A similar forest was planted b0 or POO years ago along the coast of France to stop the inroads of sand, and now serves as an effective barrier for more than 100 miles.
 The heat lost by radiation from bare pipes containing steam at 100 pounds pressure has been estimated by Profess sor s. P. Thompson to be that Of about two tons of coal a year for each ten square feet of pipe surface. Another ex- perimenter has found that SS per cent. of the loss Is prevented by the best mica covering, but that asbestos covering IS much inferior to mica, and cements are less effective still"
 Carbon mOnOx1de mas been Tecehtly found to play a more important part in poisoning by tobacco smoke than nico-. fine. This poisonous gas forms con- siderable part of the smoke. and, as much of the smoke from cigarettes IS inhaled. 1t is thought to explain the harmfulness of this use of tobacco.
 Thunder clouds sometimes reach thickness of eight miles with varying strata of damp mist and frozen snow and ice particles.
 Up to 1s0s a total of 634 meteorites was known, of which 1S2 irons and only A stones were from the western hemisphere and 299 stones and only T9 irons were from the eastern hemisphere, The falls of only about $50 of these meteorites have been recorded, the records dating hack to the fifteenth century. Despite this small number of known specimens, Pro- lessor Berwerth, of Vienna, has calcu- lated that about 300 meteorites-not count ing shooting stars. that disappear in the atmosphere-nust fall upon the earth each year, and that at least 55 of these should come under observation Professor Berwerth has noted some interesting facts concerning the distribution of the known falls. He finds that meteorites have been chiefly recorded in civilized coun- tries but that they are sometimes more numerous in thinly settled than in thick lv populated areas, and that they seem | to be specially attracted to mountainous 1 regions.

Cyril Vane's Wife.

VAhO W AAS
 The yissitudes of a beautiful woman married to a novelist "of more note than popularity" are related in fine style. The woman's development is skillfully shown, from a lovely creature of elementary na- ture to a woman of feeling, passion and perception.
 The sudden changes of scene from con- ventional life of New York to the tropics keeps the reader constantly alert his in- terest continually refreshed. Cyril Vane chooses to live vivid story rather than to write those words that make for ar- tistic success only. Most of us would rather choose the other horn of the di- lemma.
 These are fresh and brilliant stories:
 Calderons Prisoner: Cyril Vane's Wife. by Alice Duer Millar. Charles Scribner Sons. Price, $1.5O.
 Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm.
 Rebeccas eyes were like faith, the substance of things hoped for, the evil dence of things not seen.'''
 Rebecca herself is a very real little girl, full of quaint imaginings and an eager readiness, to tell her fanciful thoughts to any sympathetic listener. Failing that audience in the house Of her two New England spinster aunts, she writes poetry and Sunday letters home. Aunt J." she writes in one Of those Sunday letters. "has given me die tionary to look up all the hard works in. It takes a good deal of time and l am glad people can talk without stopping to spell. It is much easier to talk than write and much more fun.'
 Rebecca easily became the favorite at school with teacher and scholars, thing that it takes an honest and sweet heart to accomplish. She fails to find the vir- tue in If that touchstone tells us Is there.
 "Oh, it is the saddest tens ,." sighed Re- becca (of the ,subjunctive mood) with a little break in her voice; nothing but ifs. ifs ifs. And 1t makes you feel that if they only had known, things might have been better!'
 Through the story of Friday speech making at country school. through prize winning at college at Wareham, the wholesome story goes sparkling all the way.
 Most amusing is the buying of the ban ouet lamp and the selling of the soap Though taking 'of their agency for help ing her poorer neighbors Rebecca meets A Ladd, the village magnate who be- comes to her MT. Aladdin, the worker of many pleasant miracles in her life. These studies of imaginative childhood are full of fascination. When we read and enjoy them it seems pity that we and the world should ever grow old.

Who Was Lady Roses Daughterp


 The identity of Julie Le Breton, Lady Roses daughter in Mrs. Wards novel, has been a question of current gossip so long that it is not surprising the book Is stiff among the most-read popular fiction. In a recent number of the London Academy, a writer tells of meeting some friends by curious chance in Nuremberg last summer. People were talking about Julie Le Breton, and conjecturing as to her real origin. we know who Julie was." remarked the friends, confidently. "She was the offspring of the principal characters in The Serious Wooing Mrs. Craigie's biographical study published in 1901; she was a daughter of Rosabel and Jocelyn Luttrell.' and they proceeded to draw literary differences which staggered the Academy contributor. He called his article "A Novel Note in Biography" and pretended to prove by it that Mrs. Wards heroine was evidently the daugh- ter of Mrs. Craigie's heroine.

Paris, Dec. 21.-President Loubet
during the day received at the Elysee
palace the members of the internation-
al commission which is to inquire into
the North sea incident, but the non
arrival of Rear Admiral Charles H.
Davis prevented American participa-

Davis would land at Dover from the
Finland and cross over to Calais, ar
irving here few hours before the re
ception, but his determination to go
Oh to Antwerp postponed his arrival.
In the meantime arrangements were
completed for M. Loubet's reception
and Foreign Minister Delcasse's break
fast, but the formal opening of the
sessions of the commission will prob
ably have to be postponed until the
arrival of Admiral Davis completes the
membership.
The foreign Office later in the day
announced that the formal opening OF
the sessions of the commission had
been postponed until Thursday.
