THE GENESIS OF HAMLET" by Charlton M. Lewis. Emily sanford Pro lessor of English Literature in Yale University; SIPS; Henry Holt & Co. New York
 Prof. Lewis presents a brilliant and close analysis of "The Genesis of Ham, let in which he essays to show that the mystery of the play as Shake speare wrote 1t is accidental rather than intended The book purports to differ from all previous treatises by including the first complete attempt to solve the Hamlet problem by discrim- ine ting "between Shakespeare orig inal contributions to the story. ami ihA legendary materials rom kyd anl Boltforest that he inherited" previ- oGs cc'nmentators appearing to have thought it impossible to distinguish these heterogeneous clements. The volume also discusses, among other topics, the Theories of Coleridge and Werder," The First Quarto." !"kyd and Belleforest." The German Hamlet" and "Ophelia
 Prof. Lewis does not accept the the ory of Coleridge that Hamlet was the victim of a feeble will Prof Lewis view. or theory, is that Hamlet was man of force and energy battling with the demands of conscience. Werder's theory in vivid contrast to that of Col eridge's is also rejected in Prof. Lewis estimate. The respective theories of Coleridge and Werder are summarized as is also the Hamlet of romance and history in the various forms from which Shakespeare drew his tragedy. and Prof Lewis conclusion is that whatever inconsistencies are to he found are the results of diversity of origin. and that Hamlet as we know it is an imperfect fusion Of diverse elements. 50 far as we know" he says, it never occurred to Shakes peare that Hamlet was incapable of achieving any task. however great if he wanted to; or that in the present instance, he ought to have been more eager than he was The play. as matter of fact, is filled with glaring in- consistencies, and it is striking ex- ample of Shakespeare makeshift methods" wherein he has portrayed his hero SD vividly that the glaring in eonsistencies of the plot pass unnotic- ed, and unsophisticated audiences get precisely the effect intended Prof. Lewis theory is further, as has been hitherto remarked, that Shakespeare took his plot without pains from a lost play by Thomas Kyd. who has worked over a French novel and in SD doing had retained Hamlets article of feigned madness without keeping to the external circumstances which make ii plausible. Thus he introduced an absurdity into his play. and Shakespeare carelessly accepted it Minor inconsistencies are likewise laid 10 the double borrowing process Nyd made the story ineNplfca ble: Shakespeare did not make it less so.
 But the character of Hamlet is all of Shakespeare drawing

 The seeker of interesting, entertain ing and well told stories will find sat isfaction and suitable reward in Janet Of the Dunes Mrs, Comstock presents her story of the Dunes viv- idly and the girl in the case, Janet, is a delightful creation while various strong scenes well illustrate and ex- emplify the perils and bravery and heroism of the men at the life saving stations along our coasts and should help bring still more attention to the efforts abroad to get better pay for the lilly paid men brave and pension for them in old age or when battered and beaten out or crippled in the ser vice. As it is now there is much dan

attempts to explain the Hamlet of Belleforest. Kyd and Shakespeare. Col eridge finds that this Hamlet's delays are due to internal difficulties. for which he is to blame. Werder finds that they are due to external difficult ties for which he is not to blame If we are asked to decide between these theories we must first demur on inc ground that the composite Hamlet is not an entity at all and therefore not a subject for psychological analysis. But if the ground of demurrer is waived we may suggest a compromise between the opposing theories. We will say with Coleridge that HamIet's diff faculties are internal, and with Werder that he is not to blame for them. hut we must add, in disagreement with both disputants, that these difficulties are not the causes of the delay. The causes of the delay are those external difficulties which have vanished into the fourth dimension"
 Prof. Lewis, let us confidently be- lieve, has got at the root of the matter in his evident long, patient and thor ough study of the subject and has presented the results of his labor in a very interesting and animated way, his book being very readable; and 10 the great majority of people who have never delved into the mysteries of Shakespeare's use or adaptation of the material he found in evolving his Hamlet. but are content with his grand work when it is capably or ably pre- scented before the footlights. Prof
 Lewis work will be appreciated as furnishing very instructive as we'll as interesting reading While the profess sor has trodden road of enquiry much travelled by scholars before his day and at the present day also. he has succeeded in throwing new light on the subject in hand and it may be that he is pioneer in the particular theory he has now so well elaborated.

THE FLYING DEATH" by Samuel Hopkins Adams; illustrated pp. 259xixi New York: The Mcclure Com pany.
 in The Flying Death mystery fol- lows upon mystery and the reader is kept on the qui vive from first to last with MT. Adams vivid pen pictures. The scene of the exploits is nearby. on "old Long Islands sea girt shore" the north seas shore it is and the explanation of the startling scenes of deaths which are supposed at first to be cases for murder trials of the first magnitude, is reserved for the very end of the story and will prove start ling enough to satisfy the most invet- crate seeker for the weird and fantas- tic The characters of the story are clearly drawn and realistic and the leading ones are of the educated and refined class who are summer visit ors at the Point and who strenuously seek to solve the baffiing mysteries. while there are also sailors rescued heroically from a wreck in boiling seas, conjurer, villagers, etc. To crown all there is a charming double love story interwoven. Among the visitors at the little boarding house near the sea there is a young phil anthropic athletic New York doctor of high repute in his profession who is seeking the restoration of his health undone by his unselfsh devotion to suffering humanity. There are also an archaeologist and professor of bot any. One stormy night a ship was blown on the rocks and the visitors turned out in body to help the crew of the wrecked vessel, who were haul ed ashore alive and well, save one, who was found dead with a deep ound In the back, though 1t was con ship alive. For weeks after the wreck the visitors were startled by hearing strange sounds in the air as of the Tapping of huge wings. always accompanied by q peculiarly oily odor. The scientist confessed himself baf- fled at this unknown and mysterious harbinger of evil. Another death oc- CUTS; a coast-guardsman is found ly- ing on the beach murdered in the same inexplicable way as the sailor, and things reach crisis when the young archaeologist, who had gone down to the shore to investigate was found by his friends next morning ly- ing dead with deep wound in the back
 What is the explanation of this strange phenomenon, whose ravages i become daily more frequent and dar- ing but who never allows itself to be seen? IL evidently comes through the air, as 1t leaves no traces behind. ! Throughout the story the interest Is maintained to such a degree as com pletely to enthrall the reader until this amazing situation has been clear ed up.

The approach of the dog-show sea- son makes especially timely a contro- versy published in Country Life in America for February, entitled "1s the Show Dog Degenerating? It is live ly debate in which the affirmative Is upheld by Homer Davenport, the car toonist and amateur fancier, and the negative by James Watson, show judge and author of "The Dog Book 7"
 Among other things, MT. Davenport says: ''The prize-wlnning collie of to- day is about as useless an animal as could be imagined. His head is long, narrow and flat, with no room for the brains that the breed once had. With this lack of brains they have become suspicious creatures, ready to snap at any moment
 In reply. Mir Watson says: "The fact is, there is just as much brain room and just as much brain in long and narrow head as in one that Is short and wide. A thick, square head on the present-day type of collie would be as absurd as bulldogs head on a greyhound"
