When II. Morse Stephens made a
visit to Richmond several years ago
he told me that he regarded Bruce's
Economic History OF Virginia In the
Seventeenth Century as the best piece
Of historical work that had been done
In the South in recent decades. Such
remark carries, indeed. weight.
when you consider the ripeness of the
scholarship Of Stephens. a student OF
Ballot and formerly a professor in
Oxford University. and author OF a
great work on the French Revolution.
I feel sure that Mr. Stephens would
speak In similarly strong terms OF
Philip Alexander Bruce's volumes on
the Institutional HHtory Of Virginia"
which have Just come. In handsome
form. from Putnam's press. Mr.. Bruce

Modem FRENCH Noxsl.

+ sI. = :
The novel in France is passing
through a crisis much as II Is In
England. There is moi great nnyslist
who stands out as Dumas, Hugo and
their successors used to. and the very
interesting lecture delivered recently
by Mr.. Belloc explains in great
measure. the reasons for the temper
airy eclipse Of the novel. Mr.. Belloc
has the advantage of being two sim
gle gentlemen rolled into one, and
what he says Of the French novel is
deserving OF all attention.
He pointed out that there are at
present two schools in France, Maui
rice Barres being at the head of one,
and Anatole France at the head of
the other. Barres is the leader of
the "reactionary," or religious, school
of thought; he defends Catholicism
in religion. and nationality in poll
tics. Anatole France, on the other
hand, Is conspicuous example Of
the men who are in revolt against the
clerical education Of, their youth. In
other words, Barres is the leader Of
the Clericals. and France of the mod
erns.
1t is no wonder that the French
novel is not what 1t was. and that
even Frenchmen are turning to de-
tective stories and weird ghost tales.
The primary aim of novel should
be to tell a good and interesting
story. and those who try to use I.
as a pulpit for setting forth their
own particular theories. and nos.
trums misconceive 1t altogether.
There is quite enough controversy in
real life.-London Globe.

BICYCLES and AirshIps.

One OF the most striking facts
about flying is the ease and quick
ness with which the art seems to be
mastered under proper conditions.
For example. Lieut.. Lahm has been
a pupil only three weeks, yet he
made recently a fight OF forty-seven
minutes, which only a little while
ago would have been a record. Half
an hour, says Wilbur Wright, is long
enough to get the knack of the ma
chine, but 1t is to be noticed that he
does not let pupils quite SO green as
that shift for themselves. The first
stages seem not to be much more diff
ficult or alarming than the mastery
of the high bicycle Of twenty years
ago, which to the novice looked as
high as house. In fact, the we'll
taught aeronaut seems to lose rather
less cuticle during his apprenticeship
than the old-time bicyclist. Spring.

FEWER RAILROAD CASUALTIES.
1871 Persons Killed During Year,
Against 3,764 in 1908.

1871 Persons Killed During Year,
Against 3,764 in 1908.
A decrease in the number OF casu-
alties on American railroads for the
year ended June 80, 1909, is shown
by report issued by the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
During the year 2.791 persons were
killed and $500 were injured on
railroads. az against 1854 killed and
6s,96S injured during the previous
fiscal year This was a decrease OF
S73 killed and 5.069 injured. The
report shows that the number Of en-
ployes killed In coupling and uncoup-
ling cars and engines was SO per
cent. less than during the fiscal year
OF 1908.
The total number Of persons killed
and injured during the three months
ending June 80 last was 1886, or
5sS killed and 15,307 injured, being q
decrease Of three in the total num-
Der Of persons killed and an increase
LOT 2,20s injured q compared with
the number reported for the same
period q year ago.
The total number OF collisions and
derailments In the quarter was 2,100.
or BIT collisions and 1888 derail-
ments. of which 100 collisions and 172
derailments affected passenger
trains. The total damage to cars.
engines and roadways was $1.703.642.
This shows a decrease Of thirty in
the total number of collisions and de-
railments, as compared with the
number reported for the same period
year ago.

Panama's Future.

To most Americans Panama means
only the Canal Zone, plus restrict
ed country of wilderness and swamp
with republican form of govern
ment automatic to the policy OF the
United States. OF its potential re
sources little is known here, and less
of its climate, outside the strip that
was granted in perpetuity to the
United States by the treaty Of 1908.
We believe that most Americans
would be surprised to hear that Pan
anna is greater in area than South
Carolina, and almost as large as
Maine. While the canal strip is only
about Ave miles wide, the influence
of the United States government will
extend to every confine and recesa
Of the republic as long as the Ameri-
can flag flies over the zone. It fol-
lows that serious breaches OF the
peace will not be tolerated any more
than arbitrary interference with legi-
Innate investments. If the resources
OF Panama would repay an attempt to
develop them. we may be sure that
it will be made.-New York Sun.
