ARIZONA NIGHTS" by Stewart Edward White, published by the Me Clure Company New York; $I50 at Judas.
 Here we have stirring story well denominated as vital, virile and thrilling and abounding in exciting adventures. Mir. White has we'll won the reputation of being the most fam ous of all living writers of the life in the far west and southwest. The simple, strenuous, life among western plainsmen is depicted with force and vigor. The book Is a collection of the short stories on this subject published by MT. White in Outing and Me Clure's some time ago and happily they are now assembled and published together. The book is full of the wild, rough spirit of the plains and the desperadoes are there full tledged and rampant. It is made up of stories told by men of all sorts and condi- tions, each tale emphasizing some phase of the life of the ranch, plains and desert, and all, taken together forming single sharply-cut picture of the southwest, The tense short se- rial, The Rawhide," rounds out the book. The colored illustrations by N, C. Wyeth catch the spirit of the stor- ies. The title cover is handsomely H. lustrated, also in colors.

light and her stories have the merit of being certainly interesting. Her characters and the situations are re- cognlzable and such as stamp them selves as real and the author though dealing with the every day life of her types succeeds in making them very interesting. Her love stories are those which begin after marriage not before and happily there is a spirit or tone of optimism in her work that is inspiriting and helpful. Moreover her stories are enriched by graceful senti- ment and quiet humor. The moral is there, good and wholesome but not ob- truded. And there are eight excellent illustrations by Alice Barbere Steph- ems Get the Suburban Whirr' and enjoy yourself for an hour or two.

EXPLORING THE UPPER AIR.
Scientists Have a Great peal to Learn
on This Subject.

Plainly, electricity has a great deal
TO do with the mechanism of storms.
For this and other reasons the stor-
age of 1t In the atmosphere interests
In high degree the expert meteorolo-
gist, and 1t is not surprising that the
weather bureau should contemplate
an exhaustive investigation Of the sub
1ect. What--it would like to know,
to begin with-is q lightning fash?
Whence does 1t come, and how Ia 1t
generated? Do storm clouds serve as
gigantic storage batteries? And does
the electricity have anything to do
with the making Of rain?
Nobody can answer any OF these
questions. 1t is believed that q light.
ming fash has an extremely high volt
age, with low amperage; in other
words, that 1t contains only Q small
amount OF electricity at high pressure.
But there il no certainty about 1t.
The weather bureau man sends up
q scientific box kite with the help OF

piano wire In place OF a string. Storm
clouds come up and electricity begins
to descend the wire, throwing of
formidable sparks. II Is interesting

but It conveys no information .--Rene

SAYS WE LIVE TOO LONG.
Enalish Physician Accounts for In

London, England.-The annual re.
port OF the lunacy commissioners
shows a disquieting increase In the
population of Great Britain's asylums.
At the beginning OF this year one
out of every 2S2 persons in Englana
and Wales was reported to he insane.
Ten years ago the rate OF insane per-
sons was oply one In 3l4. From 1863
to ls06 the population of England and
Wales increased 55h per cent. while
the insane increased 1873 per cent.
A significant fact brought to light
by the report Is the spread OF senile
dementia, which alone accounts for
oyer SO per cent. OF last years fresh
lunacy cases. Discussing this phase Of
the situation one medical authority ex-
pressed the belief that We live too
