Fine Arts I'm baskets,

Of late years become the subject of solemn
study on the part of archRologists, ethnOl-
ogists and. we fancy. art specialists, and
there il now science OF basketry for which
we have not yet seen the learned name
That science Is put on a solid foundation
by the two magnificent and erudite volumes

nology OF the United States National Mu-
scum. doubleday Page 4 Coz They
would seem to be large enough to contain
all that can be said on Indian baskets. yet
the author uses for subtitle the modest
phrase studies in a textile art without
machinery" and the long photography at
the end indicates that many brains are
busying themselves with baskets. q.
DR.. Mason's first volume is explanatory.
The definition Of basketry with the technical
terms Of the art is followed by chapters on
the plants and other materials used on
basket making in all its forms, on orna-
mentation, on the symbolism Of the de
signs and the varied Uses to which the
baskets are put. The explanations are
admirably clear and are helped out with

representations of baskets some photo
graphs. others in brilliant color. The whole
American continent contributes material
though. in the nature Of things the great
majority Of specimens described are the
work OF North American Indians, in the pas
and in the present.
The second volume is descriptive, being
taken up almost entirely with an account
of the ethnc varieties Of baskets. This
involves necessarily a geographical ar
rangement, and the story Of the Indians
may be followed in that OF their hand-
work. The illustrations are as plentiful
and beautiful as in the first volume and are
arranged with admirable system. At the.
end is list of collectors and collections
The book is a fascinating guide to very
interesting subject and is made conpre-

an Indian basket az we'll az authoritative

addition TO the study OF the North Ameri-
can Indian, giving an exhaustive account Of

A Book About Rsilr0adl,ng.

sTom Keenan--Locomotive Engineer
edited by Neason Jones and published
by the Fleming H. Revell Company. is an
photographed sketch Of fifty years Of
experience in railway service written by
one Of the men who have been instrumental
In Transforming the general character OF
railroad employees The book can scarcely
be classified az a work Of literature. The
narrative Ia lacking in the rugged pic
t,iresqueness one naturally expects from
such an original source and which would
have made the matter convincing. 1t reads
very like the Sunday school books of the
past and tells the story of the conversion
Of the engineer from the lowest degrada-
tion to manliness, sobriety and self-respect
The chief interest OF the book lies in the
DEVELOPMENT Of the railway itself and the
elevation Of the men employed in it's service
through the marvellous improvements in
equipment and the exacting demands Of
modern life. The engineer Of Tom Keenan's 8
day might take his train out when he was
30 intoxicated that ne was obliged TO steady
himself on the box OF the cab by holding
on to the reverse lever with one hand and
the throttle handle with the other. But
the man who takes out the lightning special

obce-he wouldn't have any train to take
out. Railroad men Of the old days were
apparently a wild and reckless class, and

pursuit of the original might have steadied
her, She is fresh from school and comes
TO live with her father in an old CASTILLO
on the slope OF Mount Htna. The CASTILLO
had once been convent, and she is the only
petticoated thing that has ever passed
through its guarded portals. Naturally,
the only Euglishman on the scene besides

Being an Englishman he carefully refrains

espouses the cause OF the brigands and
aderes the mysterious Malta. 70 whom her
father refuses to pay tribute, although he
spends twice as much in hiring an armed
guard to protect the Castello. Ceres en-
dows the picturesque people with fine quail
ties they do not possess, and refuses to
believe that beauty must walk discreetly
in that primitive and tempestuous land.
In fact, Ceres had lighthearted way of
leaving undone the things she ought to
have done and an irresistible way Of doing
the things she ought not to have done
in Sicily. and is finally captured by the
briRands under the command Of the Well
beloved. and rescued again by the English
lover in the guise of the goatherd. But the
unfortunate thing about it all is that Ceres
falls desperately In love with her captor,
the -Weli-beloved,' and does not want to
be rescued at all.
The story forsakes the conventional lines
and runs into a very tragic storm centre
when the brigand chieftain is imprisoned,
but the situation il not hopeless, since Ceres
persuades' the English lover TO go with her
to visit the dying captive and takes refuge
in his strong arms when she mourns her
sWell-beloved" after he is dead, The
English lover is very patient and Ceres is
very young. Italy goes to ones head
sometimes like wine-even to older heads
than that of Ceres and when the saner
womans love comes it looks IA IL the Eng
lish lover would get his reward.
The story is SO well written that one con-
dones it's anachronisms and absurdities
as one accepts poor play when it Is is
acted by convincing artists and through
It all Ceres never forgets to be charming.

fed attempt to produce an up to date Book

ton while it prorokes thoughtful criticism
The story is by far too long, and uninter-

world has no longer the aesthetic leisure
to appreciate the old time three decker"

to produce masterpieces worthy TO be con-
structed on the lines OF the old model.
This book is ingenious in plot and sincere
in purpose but its effect is weakened by
a lack Of harmony in values. The story
runs close to the line of tragedy that is
dignified, but suddenly veers of into
melodramstic climax that ia too highly
colored to be convincing and has not even
the element of novelty to arouse interest.
