Illustrations reproduced from photo

pany.
This book contains series of chapters
on various topics connected with animal
especially bird-life. They are the result
of the long continued observation of the
author and throw light on various debated
points of animal life. The author con-
siders that the life history of an animal
is at least as worthy subject for serious
scientific study as it's structure, whether
internal or external. The result of this
theory is an extremely suggestive series
of studies of bird peculiarities.

n her old age-when Napoleon III hat

u Boraparte of Baltimore prophesied:
My descendants will yet rule
France as the only male heirs of the great
Napoleon"
The great Napoleon. her greatest en-
any. had also a prophetic sentiment con-
corning the ill-treated American wife OF
his brother Jerome, but it was vague and
changing After 1905 when he forcibly
prevented Jerome from meeting her in
England with her baby son, he hal al
boats watched in panic fear lest Betty
Patterson Bonaparte should bring her boy
to Wrance.
When in 1908 he bigamously married the
same Jerome to Catherine of Wurtem-
berg ne put Betty out of mind. At ST.
Helena he thought again of her strangely,
saying: Had 1 let Jerome cement the
American friendship 1 would have had
sure refuge with them. and who knows
what might have happened?" But neve"
did he see as clear as Betty the fateful
justification that time was preparing for
her. by which her issue is to finally save
the Napolecnic line,
At the opening of the twentieth con-
fury the male Bonapartes had already
so dwindled that the descendants of these
two women, Betty and Catherine. stood

the confirmed widower. Roland without
sons. the only male hopes of the dynasty
remaining in Europe were the pretender,
Victor, and his brother Louis-from the
Jerome-Catherine arrangement.
Then, only yesterday, at Princess
Marie's royal wedding the party leaders
awoke to the final fact that neither Vic
tor nor his brother Louis would give them
male heirs. The prophecy OF Elizabeth
Patterson was coming SO swiftly true
that the Figaro-the greatest Ronapart-
st organ-was betrayed into an admis-

THE STORY OF THE WHITE HOUSE.
BY Esther Singleton, author of
French and English Furniture.
etc. In two volumes. Fully illus
trated New York: The Mcclure
Company.
Miss Singleton's work is both necessary
and valuable. She has confined hersef &c
the social life of the Presidents and their
families; there is no reference to the po-
litical questions of which the White House
was necessarily the center. The record
of the social history of the nauon-of
which White House life is the epltome-
has been contained in contemporary &C
counts of. newspapers. correspondence. nc
ton. etc. There was danger that, through
neglect to embody the rapidly changing
customs in permanent form. many OF the
social institutions would become forgot
ten. This laborious work of bringing de-
tails together from different sources the
author has done with commendable exact
ness The White House itself. through
all the changes that it has undergone
has not been forgotten. Miss Singleton
has traced it's structure from the plans
of the first architect to the last extensive
additions. The alterations made during
the various administrations have been re-
corded and the taste of the decorations
under the successive regimes analysed
