by saying: Entirely apart from what is

INVITATIONS OF IMMORTALITY, Sig
nifCant Thoughts on the Future Life
Selected by Helen Philbrook Patten.
Boston: Small, Maynard & Co.
In the "fcreword," written by Mr.. Lau-
rens Maynard. the statement is made that
the best argument in favor of belief in
a future life is the fact that IAN fnstinc-
tive Intuition OF Immortality seems to be
the common heritage of mankind" ''In a
word" Mr. Maynard says. the belief itself
is It's own best evidence" Therefore, an
anthology of the most significant utter
anceS made by all peoples at all times IS
OF great interest. 1t may also be of great
value in aiding some hcstating soul to de-
termine what are his own beliefs. Begin
ming with passages from the Bibles Of HUI
manity,' the anthology includes the utter
&nces of philosophers. scientists and poets.
The title. drawn from Wordsworth's ode
is given in the belief that his poem is as

men of Gloucester have been engaged in
fishing, and today the fleet numbers upward
of 1,2'O vessels. But Gloucester can boast
something more than a fair harbor and safe
anchorage; her shores are beautiful to look
upon, her environs most charming. That is
what has made the place a mecca for artists

Fame Of Novelists.
Literary fame is an uncertain thing at
best, but 1t seems most uncertain of all in
the region of the novel A London pub
Usher of great experience lately declared
that two famous English novelists, both
women. who wrote with genius of English
life as they knew 1t, at an interval of a
little less than half a century, had within
the last ten years changed places almost to
novel The two novelists were Jane Aus
ten and Charlotte Bronte. He did not say
that Charlotte Bronte" was no longer read
or that She and Emily Bronte had in any
conclusive way dropped out of the reckon
ing. But he did say that the sale of Jane
of something like five copies to one of the
Brontes, pretty nearly reversing the
former balance. He was not able positive
ly to account for the change in the feeling
of the novel-reading multitude, although he
did suggest that in the new reStlessness of
modern life people were glad to escape
into the whimsical society of Mr. and Mrs
Bennett and the Elliotts. An examination
of the current lists OF various novel-pub-
fishing houses would SEEM one must con-
fess with surprise, to bear out the pub
hsher's statement. Jane Austen appears
repeatedly both in cheap and in more
sumptuous forms and in half dozen typ
1cal catalogues; whereas the Bronte books
are SO figured and obscured as to suggest
that the demand for them is comparatively
slight. And yet a distinguished living
critic, when asked his opinion about Jane
Austen's works, said: '"rhe characters in
her novels are about Interesting as the
ants in anthill They are prettily de-
This certainly. cannot be said of Jane
Eyre or "Shirley.'

Plans to Reballast System From
Ogden to Coast.
Other Items of Interest to
Railway People.

| While the railroads generally are
| spending much less in extension and
improvement work than they would
have done had financial conditions re-
NAMED as they were year ago, it
must not be supposed that they have
| ceased expenditures entirely. Take
the. Union Pacific, for example. It
has been one of the most lavish
spenders for number of years past,
and it has not in any sense brought its
improvement work to a close. Just
now it is double tracking its line from
Omaha to Granger, Wyo., and on this
work will spend $1,000 900 in the cur
rent year.
This Improvement has been under
taken with the direct object of facili-
tating the handling of traffic, which
has been increasing at phenomen-
ally rapid rate. The freight tonnage
has grown to such proportions that a
single-track road is utterly insufficient
to transport it, and great as the earn
ings of the road have been the last
few years, they would have been con-
siderably greater had the road been
able to move its traffic with greater
expedition.
In all probability the Union Pacific
will be the first transcontinenta1 road
to be double tracked for its entire dis
lance. 1t is not the intention to stop
the improvement work at Granger. 1t

coast with the least delay possible.

by travellers from the flying sand of
the semiarid wastes traversed by the

last to be used is what is known as
Sherman gravel. 1t is with this the
Union Pacific is ballasted from
Omaha to Ogden, and that part of the
line, it is claimed, has been entirely
free from the nuisance referred to
since the work was done ten years
ago.
Sherman gravel is a peculiar dis
integrated granite, which, thus far,
has been found only in Sherman Hill,
the highest point reached by the road
in crossing the continent. The rebaI-
lasting will be continued all through
the Nevada desert, and all along the
line of the Southern Pacific More
than 2,200 miles of road will be thus
treated.
This reballasting will cost several
millions of dollars, but in view of the
success which has attended the treat
ment of the eastern end of the sys-
tenn. the officials think they are fully
justified One immediate result ex-
pected from the double tracking is a
