AMERICAN.-The September Amer
lean Magazine is fairly alive with good
reading. Charles Roman leads off the
number with 1.-THE Wonderland of De-
lirium-" 1t is a record of the personal
experiences of the author, who within
the past year, lived through eighteen
days of. delirium in a Washington hos
pital. AS a psychological document it
is story of surprising interest. and as
a piece of writing it is comparable to
De Quincey's Confessions of an Opium
Eater"
Octave Mirbeau's character sketch of
Emperor William is equally interesting.
No such brutality frank and convincing
picture of the emperor has ever been
published in America. Not the least re-
markable feature of the article is the
story told by Prince Bismarck (when
under the influence of wine) of how
Emperor William showed his authority
over his mother the day he came to the
throne. A mass of new material is also
presented about the empress, who is re-
garded by many who are close to her
as ''the most boresome person in the
world
