ers versions of the folk tales legends and
poetic prose stories which have taken high
rank with the finest products of modern
pens. He had caught the spirit of Japan as
have few foreigners. His life was a ro-
mantle one. He was born in the Ionian
Isles in 1850. his mother being a Greek and
his father an Irish officer in the English
army. When sixteen years of age he was
sent to France to be educated and three
years later. his parents having died with
out leaving him the means of sustenance,
he came to America. He was handicapped
Ia his efforts to gain livelihood on three
scores. first his poverty. second his imper-
feet knowledge of English and third his
weak eyes. But despite these obstacles he
soon gained foothold in newspaper work.
He mastered English quickly, and before
long had obtained employment on news
paper In Cincinnati Then he went to New
Orleans. and while there undertook the
translation of some of the works of Theo-
phile Gautier. Literary critics at once dis

gave him high individual rank. His weak
sight was constant impeachment to his
regular journalistic occupation. and in 1887,

went to the West Indies. where he spent
two years. He then settled for a time In
New York. gaining ground constantly in
magazine and book work. A visit to Japan
convinced him that there he should find the
happiness which he sought. and he decided
to remain. professorship at the Imperial

Those who enjoyed Miss Ottilie Liljen-
crantz's stirring stories of the Norsemen.
1.-THE Ward of King Canute" and THE
Thrall of Lief the Lucky" will be pleased
to know that she has recently turned her
attention to the demands of the younger
readers for a story of this same character.
Her latest work, entitled THE Vfnland
Champions" is about to be issued by the
Appletons. When asked two years ago by
that firm to write such a story, the settle
ment of the Norsemen in Vinland Appealed
to her at once as suitable theme. for
several reasons: First, 1t was the most
important and fully recorded of the ex-
petitions; second, Thorfinn Karlsefne. the
Icelandc man of peace. law and progress.
Impressed Miss Liljencrantz as particularly
wholesome model for youth: third. because
a setting of camp life and the proportion
of one hundred and sixty men to seven
women seemed especially suited to boys
tastes. Miss Liljencrantz says that she has
served a valuable apprenticeship In story
telling under boys and feels that she owes
to them u debt which she hopes to pay in
this volume. She believes that there Is no
better discipline than to try ones powers
before an audience so indulgently willing
to be interested, yet unbribably honest
in it's contempt for sentimentality
obscurity roundaboutness. 1t is In this
spirit that she has written 1.-THE Vin.and
CHAMPIONS" which promises. therefore. to
be one of the most notable of the seas)ns
books for boys.

more clearly analyzing the nature and
tracing the causes OF these disturbances.
In consequence of this new study the old
time theories of the cause of earthquakes
have been largely set aside. and, while
that which ascribes these phenomena to
volcanic origin remains in favor with the
followers of the new seismology, to ex-
plain a certain class of quakes, there has
arisen in high esteem with the most emil
nent seismOlogists another theory which
IN general supplants all others formerly
held. This is known as the '1sostatic con-
cept1On" of earthquakes. 1t is based upon
the belief that the eartf's crust is under
going constant changes due to the trans
fer of surface materials by means of rivers
from place to place, in the course of long
periods occasioning new and unreasonable
stresses in the crust which eventually re-
suit in sudden and severe shifts. The author
gives specific instances of earthquakes
which are clearly due to such a cause,
notably some of those which have oc-
CURED in Japan, where the earthquakes
are usually plainly distinct from any vol
canic connections. On the other hand,
there are we'll established instances of
volcanic causes leading to quakings of the
crust. A large part of the work is de-
voted to description of the instruments
for the detection and measurement of all
crust movements and careful analysis of
the results of the observations. by means
of these instruments, which scores of care
full and scientific men have been making
for years.

HOW THE UNITED STATES BECAME MA
TON. By John Fiske. With illustra tons and
map. Boston, CHM Co.
This is one of the most instructive of the
shorter writings of the late historian,
whose studies of the records of the Amer
lean republic were profound and lifelong.
1t gives in brief compass a volume of in
formation respecting the causes and in1u-
ences which have developed the United
States Mr.. Fiske held that the republic
did not reach its full development as a ma
ton until the close of the civil war. which
permanently settled the question of the re-
lationship of the states to the central
government. Therefore his account of the
process. beginning with the separation of
the colonies from England ends with the
close of the rebellion and the establish
ment of the doctrine of the indissoluble
character of the Union. AS textbook for
the instruction of young students of the
history of the republic this essay, thus at
tractively presented with many portraits, is
welcome publication.

New Richmond, Wis, Dec. l6.-Louis
Blair, a Wisconsin Central brakeman.
whose home is in Minneapolis, had an
escape from burning to death last eve
ming that is nothing short Of miracu-
lous. He was alone in caboose. and
as the train rounded sharp curve at
a high rate Of speed, he felt the car
leave the rails and pound along on the
ties. He started to jump, but before
he could do SO the car rolled down an
embankment.
The interior Of the car was a mass
Of flame when it stopped rolling, and
Blair's clothing was on fire. He man
aged to get out thru a window and
rolled about in the snow until the fire
on his clothing was extinguished. It
was some time before the train crew
on the head end discovered what had
happened, and it was three-quarters of
an hour before they found Blair.
The horribly burned and bruised and
cut Blair had not lost consciousness
and was at once brought to this city
for surgical attention. His right hand
and lower arm were found to be lit.
orally cooked. His left hand was also
terribly burned. About his face, head
and neck were numerous cuts, bruises
and burns. He was taken on to divi
sion headquarters at Chippewa Falls
where he will remain Until he is vel
enough to proceed to his home in Min

VAN ETTEN ON TRAIL
OF SMALL BOY SMOKERS

The Humane society has undertaken a
crusade against the deadly and nause-
GUS cigarette. The society has obtained
the startling information resulting
from an Investigation showing that the
cigarette habit has become too preva-
lent among Minneapolis schoolboys
from to II years Of age,
Yesterday, s. L. Van Etten, agent for
the society, rounded up the boys at the
Lowell school who were known to be
addicted to the habit. Almost a dozen
were hailed before Miss Hayes, the prin-
cipal, and there Mr.. Van Etten deliv-
cred a lecture and learned the places
where the cigarettes had been bought.
Mr.. Van Eetten visited these dealers
to thas a b 5Rsy g0d
violation Of the law, he would swear
out warrant for their arrest. The
merchants explained they had sold
them in all cases on the understanding
that the boys were purchasing them
for their parents
