Death (Which is thoroughly inter
esting to readers in general, and stu
dents.of Theosophy in particular.
Death" he says. is one Of tho
events which serve continually TO re-
mind US OF the mysterious realities
that underlie the veil of appearances.
IL shows us how Inadequate is pres
cnt knowledge TO cope with the es-
sential problems of existence. Anoth-
or article. of interest, following in the
line of theosopical thought is William
@. Judges, "Karma." which deals
with the always interesting question
of "heredity."
THE Musical World by Charles j.
Ryan, is a fine article: quoting. as it
does, from excellent authorities, rola-
tive TO the standard Of morality as in
volyod in the modern songs and
dances. Quite a remarkable editorial
article is quoted from "The Etude,'
in which is compared the high civil
izing mission OF good music, and the
danger IN a low grade of music. Mr..
Ryan also gives the opinion of Mr..
Walter Damrosch, the leader of the
New York Symphony Orchestra, who
is quoted as speaking of the lack OF
family music or art of any kind in
the average American home: and the
want of real culture; and he urges
that every child, boys as well as
! girls, should be reared in the atmos-
phere of good music. Another inter-
esting article is one on "Hypnotism

widening Horizon" First steps on

of Constantinople, Lomaland, Ireland
and Sweden are all especially inter-
esting. Madame Tingley's visit to
J Sweden. which is continued from the
January number. is dwelt with at
length, completing a very attractive
issue Of the magazine
The Independent" for February IS
contains a stirring article by Andrew
J Carnegie on "The Baseless Fear of
/ War"
The article is prefaced by a briet
editorial note, stating that for many
years, one of the chief aims of ~The
Independent, has been that which
might counteract the growing menace
of militarism in this country, and
which might promote constructive
measures. leading the substitution OF
law for war. Special pleasure is
therefore taken in presenting Mr.. Car
nesie's article showing the absurdlty
Of taxing our people under the pre-
text CT ayerting an impossible inva-
sion. AS the editor states. NO living
man 10 better qualified to write Oh
this subject than Mr.. Carnegie who
has freely expended his energy and
money in promoting the ideals of in
ternational peace and justice as
shown in the endowment Of the peace
movement, and in the building of the
Peace Palace az The Hague, the Pan
American Union at Washington,
