For more than year the biologists
have been specializing about the origin

In 1903. and which had a lmOst entirely

The latest contribution Of the dis
cussion is made in Science. by Prof.

extrusion OF the mass as true volcanic
eruption. Its unique feature being the
rate at which the lava cooled. Had

Physically Strong.

Physically Strong.
1t Is remarkable when one comes to
think of it, how few gambits there are
In fiction. particularly in that fiction
which Is known as romance. Theoret
ically a novelist has the whole wide
world to choose his theme from; prac-
tically he pursues the we'll worn,
empty paths Of his predecessors. This
Is clearest seen in the characters Of
his heroes and heroines. The proper
hero Of romance ought to be phys
ically strong and morally brave, but
he certainly must be stupid. That is
the first essential.

geOus enough to make a hero of cow

If the chief figure OF romance may
sometimes be short and stout. he must
always be spirited.
But he must be dull witted. as

would readers ever forgive the hero
who refused to rush bindfold into haz-
ards Of his life? If there is ever a
danger. the romantic hero must be in

It, and extrcate himself by heroic
physical efforts. There is no room for
intelligence or Imagination in the ro-
mantle hero; skill Of fence he must
have, and brute strength he should
have: his manners must be excellent,
his form faultless; but he does not
need brains. He is content to follow
with meek subservience in the paths
OF his predecessors.
