NOTES

Camille FlammariOn, whose study OF
mysterious Psychic Forces, as trans-
lated into English and published In this
country, set the Aalglo-SaXon world
agog, has just startled Paris BY show
that the earth has heavings such as
the ocean, eight inches being the rise
and fallAo terra nrma in every "a
hours. Critics point out that physi-
cists and astronomers have known the
fact for long time. and that,if there
is anything new about Flammarion's
discovery, 1t is the statement Of the
amount of oscillation, which hitherto
has bafG ID eXperimenters to determine.
Flammarion ascribes the discovery to
Hecker, the German astronomer.
The latest news from abroad of cur
rent books has it that the two books
which are together making the Spring
literary sensation in England are 81. Is.
Wells ''Tono Bungay," and j. G..
Snaith's ''Araminta.''

stairs and packed a few necessaries,
and then vent to the hospital for a
vital operation. On the way she
stopped and bought some dining-room
chairs for fear she might die and would
not get them! Tho little incident is
Characteristic of Mary Roberts Rine-

Lower Ten,', fora its crimes and
j mystery. would ever suspect its author

sinshiny person, with an incorrigiblc
sense of huInor and buoyant optimism
or even guess that it 'was written under
the shadowSo OF, death.
