Black Butterflies" by Berthe ST.
Luz, published b. r. F. Fenno and
Company. New York, is story which
will take its place among the new
books touching upon what has been
called so long the Unknown. the Tn
revealed and the Forbidden. One
could wish to have known more Of
the philosophy of the Hindu, Emo
cler-Houssein Rao, than is given in
the volume. However, his marvellous
power is clearly shown. That he
should be brought in among people
who represent that large class who
have no woln, no aims and live only
for the pleasure of the day. was a
mastery stroke. 1t also shows that
this Hindu, with all his power. has the
vanity, ambitions and desires of the
average man after all. The cOnclu-
sion is most happy, and much of the
authors development is shown in

wonders to come? Time and patience
will work miracles in a scientific way,
which we of the present cannot rea-

eclipse the petty wonders of the past,
and everything that has been, or
what our Duny minds can conceive;
for nothing can exaggerate that which

In Edwin Lefevre's THE Golden

in the banks that he persuades the
bankers he is making it. In trying to
explain his nineteenth century alche-

days fiction treads right on the heels
of discovery, and this introduction Of
