New Fiction and the Censors.
Iicagc Record Herald

From tile Chicago Record Herald.
Saacious fiction produced by CONNER
cial novelists of no artistic or moral stand
ing presents no problem But what of
the new fiction. the bold and candid
work of sincere artists 1t canno: be sup
pressed. and yet it's general. promiscuous
circulation may be highly undesirable.
| In England the circulating libraries have
undertaken to censor this fiction They
have established special class for it, 1t
for by an adult person it is supplied. Nov
eiists are protesting against this censor
ship and showing that it has been arbi-
trary and superficial Mr. Galswortily
suggests a censorship by board of novel
lists rather than of publishers library
mana gers, but Mr.. Gosse the critic, and
other noted writers find little merit in
that substitute The average novelist,
they say, is not competent to decide mixed
issues of art and morals. and a board
would necessarily have a majority OF
mediocre and narrow-minded men. The
gifted artist must have his chance, his
access to the public. Most of our fine
classical novels, say these directors, would
have been burned by censors or mobs as
immoral for their time if the doctrine of
free speech and publication had not saved
them for us.
Is there, then, nothing to be done? Mr..
Gosse would leave things to public opin-
ion, to individual choice guided by tit crit
zeal opinion. Others feel that some pro-
lection for the young and the ordinary
reader is needful. All overlook the sad
truth that to attempt to suppress or re-
strict the circulation of a novel is only to
advertise it and give it thousands of Curl
Gus readers who like forbidden fruit and
care nothing about art or principle.

Making 2 River Work.
From the st. Nicholas.

From the ST. Nicholas.
ut isn't the tide they fear SO much
as the Chagres river. You have no
idea how it rains here during the rainy
season. Why, I've seen that river rise
twenty-five feet in a night There would
be no keeping such flood out of the
canal if it were cut down to sea level.
So. instead of trying to keep the river
out, the engineers decided to let it IN
and make use of it, only turning 1t into
a lake instead. so that it can be kept un-
der control! Accordingly. they have
damned up the whole Chasres valley
at a place where it is about a mile
and q half wide: and the reason they
picked out that place was because ther
is Il knob of rock in the middle OF the
valley where they could put the spill
way or overflow. and another mass. of
rock at one side to support the locks.
But" ! protested, do you mean to
tell us that that big dam is not founded
on rock?'
at isn't like any dam you ever saw.
WHY, it's a hill of dirt half a mile
thick at the base and taperinG to hun
bred feet at the top. And the funny
part of it is that they built that dam
with water.
with water | exclaimed ...
Yes: muddy water. First they dumped
a lot of rock across the valley to make
two walls half mile apart. Then
dredges sucked UP mud from the sea and
pumped it up a long pipe line to the
dam, where it poured out in muddy
stream between two walls. The fine
mud settled to the bottom and in time
filled the space between the walls, while
the water flowed over them. triclkled
out between the stones. or was sucked
up by the torrid sun. In that way a plug
or core of clay was built across the val
ley, an on it earth was piled and more
mud Mas pumped in, until at last the
top rose 1O5 feet above sea level

Memories of Toulon.

FROM The London Chronicle.
Toulon, now fcting the British tars,
has reason to remember previous
visit of our fleet in 1898. The city was
held by the royalists. who admitted a
band of sailors from the English and
Spanish fleets to assist in their defense
against the republican army. Toulon
fell after six-month siege, and there
followed a terrible scene of plumber
and massacre. 1t was during this siege
that "A young Corsican captain of ar
tilIcry gave first proof Of the military
genius that was TO hold Europe in
terror for twenty years to come.

Presently she wrote mot married" and
she felt she had violated no code of

reflected.
She was assigned to the clocks. Be
fore then Cora had divided clocks into
three classes--alarm clocks, which some
times failed to give an alarm, and then

Now she learned that there were others.
