as its name might suggest, a record of
literary events, but rather a mirror Of
contemporary thought and events in all
departments of life. Some of the articles
that are likely to attract attention by
reason of their vivacity and lucid inter-

kind. "Why the Dwellers in Mars Do

by raising or lowering public wages as
prices fall or rise. Henry Hall In en- az
