past few years a bronze bust of Poe was
 unveiled at the University of Virginia
 and he has been enrolled among the
 notables to be represented in the Hall
 of Fame, New York. For the most of
 the glorious dead" there are but the
 monuments of their own song. With the
 life story of far too many of them there
 is threaded the saddest story of all for
 poet to bear up under-the story of
 cruel want, of bitter struggle against most real most bitter poverty. The
 story of Poes unremitting struggle with want is known to he world-what irony
 to contrast the story of his struggle with
 the fact that his admirers are now try
 ing to buy for many thousands that lit
 tie house at Fordham made sacred by his life and Virginia's death.
 It is a most poor little frame build ing now crowded in by ugly modern
 structures. It should surely be bought and preserved even though the present owners ask for it thousand times it's
 intrinsic worth. It Is a pity the pur- chase could not have been made when 1t sat almost alone on a wind swept slope as 1t Is to be seen now in sev- eral sketches, but better as it Is than not at all.

 This is a fascinating subject, and it's demands for a critical and interesting view point are well met in the present volume The wonders of the heavens are described in a way at once interesting and delightful. While the book has no intention to proclaim itself a text book it may well be used an introduction to the study of astronomy, awakening the interest of the child and proving
 most helpful to the teacher. It is so profuse in facts that it can hardly fail to promote a desire for a fuller study Of the subject Numerous illustrations add to the value of the volume which will prove an excellent reference book, It contains so much wonderful reading for any lover of the stars.
