They are unable to agree as to the way
their own little society shall be managed
and the outcome Of the disagreement Is
that fourteen Of the twenty-one MEM

have handed in their designations.
The society has been in difficulties, so
far as internal discussions are concerned,
since Mr.. II. G.. Wells. the novelist, en-
deavored To wean its members from their
habit of making epigrams ana To induce
them to make some active attempt 10
bring about the revolution they pro-
fesscd to desire.
Since then Mr.. Wells's thoughts have
turned elsewhere, but the seeds he sowed
have brought forth fruit in the shape Of
the present crop Of designations. They
include practically all the members or
the Old Gang" as the founders of the
society are ifreVerently termed by tho
more recent recruits. and among them
are Mr.. George Bernard Shaw, Mr.. HUI

a grain Of dust, blown none knows
whence into a watch, will disturb its ac-
curacy and upset all the delicate pre-
cision Of its mechanism. An incompe-
tent stenographer, blown by the whirl Of
modern life into the Offices of q great
New York corporation lawyer, upsets
the clarity and keenness Of his brain
and causes him TO quarrel with his bread
and butter-and with the jam that
sweetens both. Mr.. Phillips is not so
much concerned with the grain OF dust
as with the havoc it raises. with the IN
fatuation rather than with its cause. II
is not the sweet madness of the poets he
sees, but the temporary insanity the
ancients called It. The grain Of dust can
be removed from the watch for fnfatu-
alton there are many cures. Mr.. Phil
lips chooses for his hero the sIeadying
process Of marriage, which opens infatu-
atoms eyes to the realities behind the
lure. SANITY returns, lNS leSdl Dldlil
works more acutely than ever But in
the happy ending there springs from dis
illusion. from the return to the normal, q
strong. noble plant Of tranquil, trusting
.rital love.
If not profound student Of life, Mr.
Phillips was certainly an energetic par
tisan Of the views he took Of its current
symptoms. Here. as in all his books, he
weaves generaliza tons into the story of
the case in hand. 1t is all on the sur
face, but the surface is what is most
familiar 10 the majority Of us and what
most readily claims attention. Hence
his popularity, which was certainly hon
estly earned by steadily increasing
facility in the technique Of his art.
There is no poetry of life in this realistic
tale until the end is nearly reached. but
It has its authors usual quality of read

Economically his subject matter is al

OF labor and capital, Of the tyranny Of
our CAPTAINS Of industry, their unscrupu-
Iousness and immoral methods. We
have had plethora, also, Of the reform
ing assistant district attorney, of the
attempts to bribe him and the plots TO
ruin him when bribery fails; a sufii-
cheney. also, Of the corrupt millionaire's
daughter who is virtues exceeding great
reward All this is, no doubt. good
enough material still, provided it be done
sufficiently well. from either the eco
nomic or the romantic point of view
preferably from both. Unfortunately,
AK" does not use it all sufficiently
well TO make II welcome once more. On
the social side the story is appallingy
vulgar with satiric intent, no doubt, but
the intention has o'erleaped itself. The
book u.s. in short, piece of strenuous

CABLE WAS BURIED

The cableship Burnside picked up
the cable in the narrows and commun-
icated with Sitka after the recent
earthquake showing that the break was
between that point and Valdez. The
break was finally located about three
miles from the shore.
The condition in which the cable
was found indicated the powerful eff
feet of the earthquake, which caused
the break, on the bed of the bay, for
it was covered many feet deep with
big slide and the cable was cut square
ly in two as if by gigantic boulder
falling upon it. When raised to the
surface trunks Of trees, some Of them
of large size, were brought to the sur
face with it. These were probably
washed into the bay by the glacial
stream.
So deeply was a portion Of the cable
buried that it was impossible to raise
it, and new section was spliced in
Seward Gateway.
