bodied, educated and capable men and
will be the first of the three great pow

when both the American constitution
and the British constitution viii have
to be remodeled or sheIved. He admits
frankly that British trade supremacy

In personal appearance Mr. Wells is
markedly English. Both his accent and
his manner brand him 50 distinctly

height slight of build. with a sandy
mustache, blue eyes that are worn
looking from much work and the deep

must not be inferred that he is not an
agreeable person. AS a matter of fact
ne is charming. His open manner and
simplicity and directness are unusually
winning. His smile is genuine, and his
voice has the ring that proclaims him
to be capable of any amount of good
fellowship.
Although one may not be able to take
Mr.. Wells and his scientific flights
seriously. it is well to remember that
many Of his forecasts are quite likely

at Sandgate. He declares it to have
been his earliest ambition to become a
cartoonist A little later he developed
a passion for writing At an early
age he was apprenticed to a dry goods
merchant but his heart was else
where. and it proved to be drudgery of
the most calling description. He en-
dured it two years and then rebe1led.
After securing his release he turned to
serious study and in due time was en-
tered at the Royal College of Science at
London.
There young Wells became a pupil
of Huxley and other scientists of re-
nown. and it was not long before he
attracted the attention of these emf
nent men. In the course of time he OBJ
tained the degree in science at the Uni
versity of London, with special honors
in zoology and geology. 1t was at this
time that he acquired his vigorous lit
erary style. having Huxley for his type.
He edited student periodicals all
through his course and found the work
congenial and instructive
Mr. Wells is a firm believer in the
value Of scientific study as d prepara-
ton for literary work Criticism, he
maintains. is the essence of science,
and the critical habit of mind is es-
sential TO artistic performance. He
ascribes the development of his critical
faculty to the atudy of comparative

it does not suit him. mo novelist can

feels free to do that"
Mr. Wells came to his business of
Utopia building and society remodeling
with an equipment that neither Jules
Verne. Lord Lytton nor Edward Bel
lamy possessed Francis Bacon seems
to have been about his only earlier
counterpart in his thorough grounding
in science. theoretical and applied, in
his devotion to the betterment of hu-
man conditions from an ethical stand
point and in his singulariy lucid prose
style The most competent critics ad-
nit that his work is imaginative science
at its highest.
One of the most interesting things
about MI Wells and his books is the
emphasis he puts on the future. What
is to come after man is to him the
most fascinating question in the world.
Although he is quite sure at present
that death ends all, he is eager, with
paradoxical solicitude, to better the
life OF men of future generations on
this planet. It is also interesting to
find him predicting that the great syn
thesis of English speaking peoples
will have its head and center in the
great urban region developing between
Chicago and the Atlantic, which will
lie mainly south of the St Lawrence.
He thinks that this section must
eventually become the intellectual, po-
litical and industrial center of a per-
manent unihcation of the English
speaking countries, a federation having

A NEW SAINT.

A missionary who recently returned
from South America discovered on the
route to Orurotutofagosta a tribe of
fetch redskins worshiping Bismarck as
a god. Last year when the drought
threatened their harvest they offered
up prayers to their usual idols, but all
to no avail. Their chief having seen at
an emigrated farmers hut the picture
of the Iron Chancellor cut out from an
illustrated German paper. asked the
farmer to make him a present of the
print, which request was willingly
agreed to. Thereupon the Indians
brought the picture in great procession
to their temple, and, strange to say,
welcome rain watered the lands of the
tribe. Since that time the deity Of the
chancellor whom the Indians call BIN
barko, is firmly established, and all
kinds of reptiles are offered up to him
in sacrifice

for two.
This year twelve cruises have been
planned-nine of one week each and
three of two weeks For $12 one may

days on the Amazon and a share in the

The Amazon is thoroughly equipped
for cruising. She has accommodations
for thirty passengers and they are ex-
ceedingly comfortable. She is los feet
in length and so stanch that she could
cross the ocean as safely as a liner.
Thus far only men have been taken on
the cruises. but it is the intention of the
association managers to have a trip or
two each season for members who wish
to have their wives or sisters accom-
pany them.
Thus far the cruises have been made
in Long Island sound and along the
New England coast, but they will be
varied from time to time. Sailing on
