Where Did Columbus Land,

There has long been controversy over the first landing-place of Colum- bus in the New World. and although the question cannot be said to have been settled beyond a shadow of doubt. 1t is generally admitted that 1t was near the centre of the Bahama chain. MT. Frederick A. Ober, who has spent years ir following the course of the great ex- plorer, investigating. excavating, and photographing. has this to say in his new volume.

Enduring Popularity of Dickens.

The ninety fourth anniversary of tho birthday of Charles Dickens. which was celebrated on February !. finds the works of the English novelist more popular in America than ever before. At the public libraries all over the country 1t is said that the damand for Boz" Is as great as at any time during the last twenty years; in fact. that it is on the increase. especially among the middle class of readers.

cillations of Hazers love affairs and the humorously wrought pictures of this rural English life among the middle class folk of the Dee country. the story is one of unflagging interest.
 Like Mir. Jacobs longshore tales. IL refutes. by its popularity In England. the common charge against the Brltisn density In the appreciation of humour.
 Surely the fun Is as subtle as It Is spontaneous The very color of the story, English as 1t Is, lies, though. not in the understanding which the charac- ters have of this uuaintly humorous life. but Of Hazers appreciation of 1t. Perhaps Mabel Barnes-Grundy recog- nizes. after all. this national density to humor. and has given here gentle satire on her countrymen.
 At any rate the gossip or the coun- tryside, the narrowness of the lives about her and the humor of 1t all. has appealed very strongly to the author as it will to the reader. She justified more than once. the joke already com mon. that Mrs. Grundy wrote tn" book"
 Of the story itself too little has been said. Hazel finds suddenly, the ideal of her maidenly views, in playmate of her half pictured childhood. The man whom she fascinated thei by the groWn-up wisdom of tiny girlhoodl failed to recognize her when he came back to his old home, years afterward' The hurt of his forgetfulness cost him dear. But the story runs on to it's sol ution as surely as the river by which if takes place, and the fascination of it aIl-the story, the people and the countryside. can only be grasped by q reading of the book.

 That is hard to find amid all the qualifications of many streams. It Is hardest to find in literature. There are but few magazines made up
