why the Mystery Tale Succeeds.


The mystery element enters to a
greater or less degree into fiction Of
every kind. Indeed, it is the base of
all literary interest. Primarily we
read a story ito see how it comes out"
and, other things being equal, the
story III which the element of sus-
pense by def construction and subtle
shaping is most successfully maintain
ed will be the most universally satisfy
ing and popular. The mystery tale Of
today is a story in which the element
Of suspense is deliberately enlarged
and emphasized until it dominates ev-
cry other consideration in the story.
Characterization, atmosphere, emotion
al values-all become subordinated to
the great business Of plot development.
The marshaling of incident, the sue
cession Of climaxes in crescendo order,
the cumulative sweep of the narrative
while the secret of the outcome is care
fully withheld, is the affair here. Like
q periodic sentence of titanic size, the
tale is unrolled until with the conclud-
ing paragraphs the meaning of all that
has gone before is made clear.-Lee F.
Hartman in Harper's Weekly.

How Dew Eorms.

Dew was formerly supposed to fall
softly from the heavens, and to this
belief may be ascribed many current
and poetical phrases; but dew does
not fall in the exact meaning of the
term. The condensation of watery
vapor follows upon the chilling of the
air. This is seen as the earth cools
toward night, and it takes place. most
rapidly near the ground. Grass and
other vegetation cools more rapidly
than the air above it. The air in ON
tact with plants is thus chilled and de-
posts it's moisture upon the leaves of
the plants in dew. When the chilling
Of the air proceeds further, the mois-
ture may be precipitated to a consider
able height above the earth's surface,
and it then becomes what we call fog.

It 81 an almost forgotten fact that
for a period Of . little more than two
years during the Napoleonic wars Cer-

the evacuation Of roulon tho British
government felt It necessary to take

July IL, 1894. where Nelson lost his
eye, the island fell into British hands.
and George III. formally accepted the
crown of Corsica, appointing Sir
George Elliot as British viceroy and
allowing the Corsicans to retain their
legislative assembly. In 1906 the &C.
tivity Of the French navy in other
parts of the Mediterranean resulted in
q sudden decision of the British gov
eminent to withdraw from the island.
The evacuation was completed on Oct.

The Muf.

In many Of the portraits Of the SIX
teenth century one often sees a strip
Of rich, soft fur wound around the
wrist of a noble dame. This was used
to cover the neck or fulfill the func-
ton Of the muff, and to it was often
attached a small animals head or 3
skull cunningly wrought In metal and
adorned with precious stones. The
first Venetian mufs were small, made
Of a single piece Of velvet, brocade or
silk lined with fur, the opening enrich
ed with gold or silver buttons set with
stones. BY 1862 the muf seems to
have been recognized as the necessary
adjunct of the wardrobe Of a woman
AZ fashion.

Marshal Oyama is deploying heavy
forces against General Linevitch's
left and is concentrating his troops
along the center but his base is OPP
posite the Russian right. 1t is not yet
clear which wing is making a demon
stration and which will deliver tie

vitch's preparations that he intends
to accept a decisive battle.
st. Petersburg. May 21.--The war
Office confirms the report from Gun
shu Pass that Marshal Oyama is on
the eve of taking the general offensive
and no doubt is entertained here that
General Linevitch will accept battle in
his present positions. The general
staff believes Oyama's advance was
CIecipitated by the doubt regarding
the issue Of the coming naval battle
between Admirals Rojestvensky and
Togo. With ain unbeaten army in
front of him Oyama's position n light
be critical if his communications with
Japan were interrupted temporarily.
