Our Inland Sea
With Story Of Homestead

Some years ago, Mr.. Alfred Lam
bourne, the well known author and art
list, went to Gunnison island, home
steaded Il tract of land built a cabin
and lived there through nearly q years
time with no companions save the
gulls, the herons, and other denizens of
the lonely place III this time of lone
IL living and meditation, he gathered
a number Of realistic Impressions that
are now being framed into a volume OF
mingled print and pictures. the liter
airy work being his own and the pic
lures by James r. Harwood, whose Ia
Dor, as Mr.. Lambouine says. has been
one of love The story comprises chaps
ters of vivid Impressions of the Won
derful inland sea at Jtah's western
border; the drawings are an accom-
paniment to the authors recitatiNe and
song, the whole making a very beauti-
full harmony.
Mr.. Harwood's work is mostly In the
nature of vignettes, TO be used for the
beginnings and endings OF chapters:
and are in purpose symbolisms Of the
meaning of the authors theme, their
treatment ranging from truest grace to
the terribly grotesQue. There are u of
these symbolic drawings the most
striking and dramatic being q repre-
Sentation OF Time and Death. great
pair of ravens wings overshadoWing
an houl, glass, and a serpent half coil
ed, and with wonderful expression
of life and intensity. There are other
beautiful sketches, showing grace and
poetry of thought notably THE Flight
of the Butterflies" and Blazing Logs,
the last a marvel of realism, with the
flame and crackle and cheer of a great
hearth fire depicted In the black lines.
Two idyllic pictures are the "Elight
~ NO M n Mt
Rest" the latter a yacht at anchor
near one of the bluffs of the is
land. Besides these are larger draw
lngs used as illustrations throughout
the book They comprise II scenes on
the island, and also two lakes of the
Wasatch mountains. The first of these,
"Sprlngtime on the Heights shows
"a glimpse of one of the Twin Lakes"
with the cliffs rising precipitously all
around, and a tangle of wild flowers
in the foreground With unmistalS-
able atmosphere of awakening spring
in every line, Moonlight at Lake Lii
IAN" Is another exquisite suggestive
piece, taken from the mountains. The
Silent, Implacable Days" Is the title of
a, drawing in which all the loneliness
of uninhablted desert and sea strive
for uttarance. Another definite i'm
preston of this brooding atmosphere
is .sI)esoate Shores EdElng Utahs Dead
Sea" and carries in Its lines the in
tangible. but ever present spirit OF lone
silences A storm" as viewed from
the foot of North Cliff is a marvellous
effect of boisterous wind and rolling
waves, with spray tossed cliffs, all
brought out in line work and especial
ly difficult and excellent.
The artist In fact has interpreted in
visible form. the spirit expressed in the
authors story, and the book promises
TO be a lasting local feature of historic
worth.

ANGLO-AMERICAM
MAGAZINE DEAL.
Our London Literary Letter.

nothing much ever came of it on ac-
count of copyright difficulties, ana tho
consequence was that any American
editor who was 50 disposed could crib
as much as he liked from English Pc
riodicals without paying a cent for it.
That wouldn't; have hurt the feelings
of the English editors SO much as If
they had been able to return the COM
Enlimeut, But unfortunately for them
the English copyright laws are such
that the American editor can easily
copyright the contents of his magazine
in England without expense, whereas
it is almost impossible for the English
editor to copyright his material in
America without heavy cost
Furthermore. enterprising Americans
over here acting In behalf of the Amor
lean editors, sell great quantities of ar
tices from American magazines to the
English editors. The total OF such
sales have increased from month to
month in the past year until there is
now quite a steady tide of English
money going across the Atlantic, and
some of the English magazines have
become about half American.

NOVELS AND WRINKLES.

Does novel reading cause wrinkles?"
is the latest question agitatinS society

physician whose practise lies among
the upper ten" and who for obvious
reasons wishes his Identity kept secret
has recently answered this singular
question. He asserts that novel-read-
ing certainly causes wrinkles: not nee
essarily those OF old age. but various
markings of an emotional character.
In the course Of an interview he said:
'.Many young women cause prema-
ture wrinkles to form on their fore
heads by reading exciting novels. They
sit for hours, often in an imperfect
light, their brows furrowed; and II
the book is thrilling one, expressing
on their faces, unconsciously, the emo
lions it excites."
SHOULD CONSULT MIRROR.
Asked if tho reader herself could OBJ
serve these emotional lines while
engaged In the making of them, he re-
Piled:
Yes, most assuredly. I should advise
every young girl he continued, ito

is absorbed, intent; her broWs often
contracted: whereas, the mans reading
is evidently done with q casual, semi
critical eye. The news events are
evidently not matters Of life and death
to him.
What remedy would you suggest to

novel reading?

was the prompt reply. ''Of course, peo-.
pie will read novels, but / strongly
advise them not to read novels for

and read 1t for 10 minutes or so, then
have a rest, and then continue reading,

The piquant fact about Joaquin Miller
is his neat method of self-adyertising.
He found that Britishers best appreci-
ated him when he clothed himself in a
sort of Wild West costume. and so
half the time he affected that style of
attire. His wild, high-colored Songs
of the Sierras" surprised from British
readers that: sort of admiration the ar
1stocracy of that country afterward ex-
pressed for Buffalo Bill and his cow
boys. Then, too, let the cold -bloodod
.literati say what it pleases, there Is a
charm in '"rhe Arizonian'' and The
Tale OF the Tall Alcalde'' that Is not to
be measured with the poetic foot-rule,
and the English public We're not slow
to find that charm. Soon all literary
London was talking of the new west
ern poet. What gave wings to Joaquin's
verse was its unstudied quality, its
wild abandon and acertain breadth and
swing which even the most critical will
not deny him. In those days he came
nearer to realizing for us Brownng's
careless rapture than any poet this
country has ever produced. Els ideas
We're new to England and his point of
view SO fresh and refreshing that those
same Britishers whom Carlyle profess
ed to find so heavily dull and lacking
in literary appreciation did not fall
to find sort Of delight in Milers
strange songs. Then, too, there was n
Tilt in his best lines, a kind OF music
that l find in the songs of no other
American singer save Lanier. OF course.
Lanier would have put into more
scholarly language such lines as the
prelude to Kit Carson's Ride" but he
would hardly have given US more
sweep and swing:
Room! room to turn round in, to
breathe and be free,
To grow to be giant to sail as at sea
With the speed Of the wind on a steed
with his name
To the wind without pathway or route
or a rein.
My plains Of America! Seas Of wild
lands!
From land in the seas in a raiment
of foam.
That has reached to a stranger the
welcome of home,
turn to you, lean to you, lift YOU my
hands"

Henry g. Stott, superintendent of motive power
Of the Tnterborough. said II had used anthracite
coal for two years after the subway opened.
when a change TO semi -bituminous coal made.
This necessary, he said. because of the irreg-
uarities in the total amount of power needed, due
to changes in load different parts of the line.
Semi-bitunnous coal would produce additional heat
when needed quickly than anthracite, he
said
IF man commits suicide in the subway said

When these trains start up there is another change
