THE MAGAZINES

How the Aston Millions Just Grow.-Bur-
ton J. Hendrick in the April MccIure's
shows what "the unearned increment
can do. when pushed. He says:
'"Astor had invested about $4,000, 900 in
New York real estate. At his death its
value was s20.00O,00O. When William B
Aston died, in 1876 it had increased tc
$l0O,O0O,O0O. By 1890, competent authori-
ties estimated it at more than $250, 200, 00O
The total Astor holdings now, distributed
among several branches of the family,
amount to at least $3.50, 100000. Here
evidently, we have a most notable in
stance Of the unearned increment"
The Highest Attitude Ever Reached
A. Henry Savage Landor, the distin-
gu1shed traveller and explorer, tells in the
current Harper's Weekly Of climbing
Mount Lumpa, in Nepal, near the Tibetan
territory, and reaching the highest alti-
tude ever reached by man-23,490 feet
above the sea-level Twelve men started
on the ascent with Mr.. Lander, but only
part succeeded in reaching the top. AT
an altitude Of $4,000 feet the men expe-
rienced considerable suffering caused by
the raref1ed air. The hearing Of some
was temporarily affected, and their heart
action impaired. An avalanche started
While the party was high up the mountain
and passed within few feet of them.
The Plant Magician,s Religious Views
The religious opinions of man whose
life is devoted to a study of nature are
always Of interest to- those who chal-
lenge life for an answer to it's stupen-
dous riddle. Therefore, one reads with
unusual interest the following from w. s.
Harwood's interview with Luther Bur
bank, the plant magician of California, in
the April Century:
Ny theory of the laws and and underlying prin-
ciples Of plant creation is in many respects dia-
metrically opposed to the theories Of the mate
rtalists I am sincere believer in higher
power than that Of man. All my Investigations
have led me away from the idea of dead, mate
rial universe, tossed about by various forces, to
that OF universe which is absolutely all force
life, soul, thought whatever name we may
choose to call 1t. Every atom, molecule plant,
animal or planet is only an aggregation Of or
gantzed unit forces held in place by stronger
forces, thus holding them for time latent, tho
teeming with inconceivable power. All life on
our planet is, SO to speak, just on the outer
fringe Of this infinite ocean Of force. The uni
verse is not half dead, but all alive.

The annual election of officers of
Minneapolis lodge No. A, Benevolent
Protective Order Of Elks has usually
been attended by considerable rivalry
for the Office of exalted ruler. This
year, however, there appears to be al !!
the man for the place and it is ex-
pected that William M Regan will be
elected tonight with practically no
opposition.
Mr.. Regan has been an enthusiastic
member Of the order and has long
been regarded as one Of the leaders Of
the lodge in its various undertakings.
His personal popularity and high
standing as business man are consid-
erations that appeal strongly in his
favor.
1t is expected that the election of
some Of the other officers will be at
tended by considerable excitement and
large attendance of members is GER

PIPE Is HIGHER
City Loses Thru Economy Of the Coun-
Gil Last Year.

New watermains, the cost of which
will amount to $4,000, were ordered
by the water committee of the council
yesterday afternoon. This makes the
cost of the mains to be put in this sea
son about $4,000. The council last
year did not allow the committee to buy
supply of pipe that would last for
several years and as result the city is
paying 1915 more ton for the pipe
4 this year. The price this year is $3.50
ton.

THE SORROW OF THE WORLD

me quarreling Of the sparrows in the caves.

And the loud song of the ever-singing leaves
Had hid away earth's old and bitter cry,
ana then you came, with those red mournful lips,
And with you came the whole Of the worlds

And all the sorrow Of her 1aboring ships,

The wearisome loud chanting Of the leaves
Are shaken with earth's old and bitter cry.

THE UNEASY CHAIR

PLEA FOR MORE ART AND LESS
POPULARITY IN FICTioN.-James
Douglas. in a. brief but forcible article
in the April Booklovers' Magazine, makes
a plea for art .in the sordid conflict be-
tween art and popularity" He says:
The board schools and the newspapers have
dragged the people up to literature. but they
have also dragged literature down to the peo-
pie. No artist can now afford to be popular,
for the path Of popularity is no longer the path
Of art. Our writer's keep one eye on their ideal
and the other on the mob.
Mr.. Douglas charges many well-knowr
writer with sacrificing art to popularity
But he sees signs Of reaction. He says
of this: *.N@& ..
1t is seen in the novels Of Robert Kitchens.
He groped after sincerity in The Woman with
the Fan. He seems to have grasped it in The
Garden Of Allah, one of the sincerest romances of
recent years, and one of the most popular. An
other example Of the sincere novel is Hilaire
Belloc's Emmanuel Burden, masterpiece Of the
1ronic method Another novel is Mr.. Barrels
Little White Bird, book which is worth many
Little Mary. All these novels are subtle as
well as simple, and it seems to me that the novel
must develop on their lines. All the great nov
elists are simple in their subtlety. Turgeniev,
Tolstoy and Hardy are as simple as Scott, and
yet they express the complexities of the modern
mind.
