SCISSOR of $5O.OOO,OOO in gold, which he
has extracted from circulation and

a good deal of discussion among Wall

whether $25,OOO,OOO in gold could be
taken out of circulation in a year with

facts, however, seem to be in support
OK Mr.. Lefevre's idea that such a thing
is possible. In the year 1904 the worlds
possessions in gold amounted to some

and in that year about $50 millions

"THE QUAkEREsS"

'The Quakeress'' is a tale that comes
as a pleasant relief to those who are
weary of the turgid stories of modern
to quarter century ago as Max Ade-
Ter, the humorist, has recently developed
into a novelist who claims serious con-
sideration. In this new book Mr.
Clark has given the public delightful
picture of life among the Friends, now
so little counted in the great aggre-
cation of American citizenship. The
tale opens in the early sixties, and
Abby Woolford, the Quaker maid, is
q most attractive herione.
The author has handled his local
color artistically although he has dwelt
rather insistently ON the contrast be-
tween the Quaker and the Episcopal
faiths. Abby. who has faithful lover
much respected among the Friends.
learns something Of the world through a
Southern girl. Then young South
erner wooes her with an impetuousity
that wins her heart. The man of the
world proves unworthy, for he dares
to forget that he is secretly married.
Love and conscience fight many bat
ties in the heart of the Quaker maid
and love wins. but Abby is saved from
sacrificing herself by the merest acci-
dent. The story is somber. since
happiness is not the lot of the girl
who has forfeited the peace OF her re-
ligious life. There is plenty OF incl
dent in the novel. but the story moves
rather slowly. 1t concerns itself with
the inner life quite as much as with
the outward show Of thought and emo
tion. 1.-The Quakeress" is a valuable
contribution to American fiction, in
asmuch as 1t pictures a phase of life
that is rapidly disappearing.

MR. JAMES, LECTURER

Miss Dunbar calls her article in the
July Critic "Fenry James as Lee
turer," but in the opening paragraph
she says most emphatically that Mr.
James is not a lecturer in our popular
sense, and can scarcely be made into
one by placing him next high table
and inviting him to speak from nine
until ten O'Clock in the evening. At
the same time her conclusion is that
as lecturer 'Mr. James is an event;
and one cannot escape the humble
wish that it were one in which. for
their souls good and ours. the whole
mighty tribe of novelists might par
ticipate.'

the greatest Of all was the stamp
ing out Of typhoid and every kind of
malarial fever. Even pneumonia was
successfully annihilated and advanced
cases of consumption invariably cured,
not only by keeping the temperature
down to White Mountain degree and
freezing the germs out of existence but
by building up the system, restoring the
tissues and the blood corpusces to per-
feet health by enveloping the patient
in a perpetual cloud of pure ozone and
vaporized ice, mixed.
AS with all true blessings, both the
young and the old were benefited. Boys
and girls had new life and sport out of
it. with little of the stuff a patch
or ice two feet thick or more could be
frozen anywhere in river, lake or bay
without interfering with navigation.
Never was there a stranger sight than
seeing steamers and barges loaded with
perspiring passengers getting cooled off
by running at half speed along the
monster ice cakes full of joyous skaters
in July. 1t should be explained that
Col. Munchausen's ice was a thousand
times colder (and getting colder every
minute) than the coldest ordinary ice
of midwinter. 1t continually exhaled
a delicious zero atmosphere that cooled
off ferryboats, war ships and European
steamers sailing up and down the har-
Dor during the heated months.
OF course the time soon came when
every boat had one of the colonels ma
chimes and was able to make the tenn
perature as required. But there was
still greater honor for Col. Munchausen.

said the colonel, Ito stop the freezing
instantly" Loud applause greeted him
from the shivering aldermen, as he
proceeded to explain how the process
was discovered.
Ages ago, when the North Pole ice
cap was forty miles thick and two
thousand miles wide, 1t broke loose and
came sweeping down the continent.
Hills. mountains and forests were not
only carried before It. but the intense
cold combined with the pressure pro-
duced shrinkage Of the North American
continent, which shook the earth to its
center. With incalculable force up
heavals sent chunks of ice as large an
Rhode Island skyward with the great
central mass plowing out rivers and
lakes. New York state cracked wide
open and oceans of water thundered
down to the sea, scoping out the chan
mel now called the Hudson. In those
days 1T covered the country from New
Rochelle to the Ramapo.
Again and again the globe shriveled
with the noise of the Judgment Day.
Fifty miles of the earth's rocky crusts
shot upward as If fired from a cata-
pult, turned a somersault, landing up
side down in the midst of the flood.
That formed the Palisades, leaving the
Hudson on one side and the Hacken-
sack river on the other.
"The roots of the Palisades were a
mile deeper than the bottom of the
river, and when the earth in it's final
CONFUSION opened directly under the
Palisades, the fissure was not wide
enough to let them drop through, and
there was no possible chance for the
air in the vast chamber to escape.
When the crevasse closed again this
air was condensed into a solid mass,
white and gummy, like camphor, and
the process continued during the thou
sand years Of the earths cooling, until
there was enough solidified air under
the Palisades to belt the globe a dozen
times"
Here the colonel paused, while the
representatives of the scientific corps
of the chamber choked with admiration
and awe. Even the aldermen from the
Bronx put on more wraps and hunched
forward with breathless interest as the
colonel related how he came to discover
the substance.

7 ACK LoNDON's latest book can

an amplified short story worth
reading, since it is written in character
istic style. '"The Game" is a tale deal
ing with the romance of young prize
fighter who holds his vacation as a

him. Joe Fleming is a handsome
young fellow of humble birth-a youth
clean Of life and strong of body. When

awakens in his heart loyalty and love
more potent than his devotion to the
Game, he presses his suit so success
fully that the day after what he prom
ises will be his last appearance in the
ring is chosen for the wedding. The
tragic climax of the story comes in
the fight with Ponta, a brutal fellow
who relies more on his savage strength
than on his scientific attainments. The
