SAFETY AT SEA
A Practical Manual for Navi.

A MANUAL OF THE RULE OF THE
ROAD AT SEA AND PRECAUTIONS
AIRY AIDS TO MARINERS. BY Daniel
II. Hayne. Second edition Svo. PIP.
xviii. 16J. Baltimore: The Cooperative
Publishing Company.
In these days of commercial activity,
when the importance of safety at sea
has, through recent accidents, been in
delibly impressed upon the public, and
when the feet of high-speed steam and
power driven vessels is multiplying at
proportion the responsibility of the
masters, pilots, navigating and other
officers, it seems right that every ma
terial aid tending TO tighten the burden
of these men should be placed at their
disposal Such an aid is this manual
on "The Rule of the Road at Sea- by
Mr. Hayne, of the Baltimore Bar.
The volume covers. in its 100 pages,
almost eteyy conceivable situation
where the quick and accurate applica-
ton of certain well-defined rules, thor
oughly memorized, is sure to help the
man in command of a vessel, not only
in an emergency. but also at times
when the right kind of caution prop
erly exercised will increase the factor
of safety to his ship. Part l refers
briefly to precautions relating to the
rules of the road, to the navigator's
willingness TO comply with them, and
to his prompt and uniform application
of them. In Part ii are presented
some of the more practical elements in
ship conduct and discipline and in
foresight in handling the vessel and
its equipment to which prudent navi-
gators have attached much importance,
and to which they owe their immunity
from accident.

for the ghost of John Harvard, while
frgidly hospitable TO the great Lord

ways strongly disapproyed of play

Delightful, too. are the comments of
these two mighty shades upon eacn
other, and Baco,'s shrewd comparison
OF the worlds knowledge of Shake
speare's personality with that of Vir-
gil's, or Chaucer's. AS for he author
ship OF the plays, Shakespeare knows
that Bacon would much rather have
invented the flying machine. And when
the Bard's back is turned the phi
losopher confdes to Mr.. Howells: II
shouldn't mind having written the SON
nets; but the Venus and Adonis,' the
Lucrece' and some Of the plays-ex-
cuse me. Honestly, would you like 10
have written 'Pericles, Prince Of Tyre,
or A Comedy Of Errors'?' Both phi
losopher and playwright are greatly in
terested in the movies. Bacon sees m
them great educational possibilities,
but as for their dramatic future, that
you must have out with Shakespeare
SO it goes on, in a tit setting Of real
istic description of Warwickshire scenes
and ways; as that OF the inn which
called Itself the Four Ais, and illus
trated It's name by signboard bearing
the efiigy Of the king who Rules All,
Of a clergyman who Prays AL Of a
soldier who Fights All and OF an aver
age man who Pays All. These Four
Ais appear TO prevail IN every civilized
country, but they might not every
where be painted in such smiling irony
as here"
The beauty of it all is the deftness
with which the author does all the
speaking himself, yet puts the words
upon the lips Of his illustrlous inter-
locutors. II would have been so easy for
less accomplished artist in words 10
attempt the phraseology Of the Eliza
bethan age for Shakespeare and Bacon.
and thus probably TO spoil the whole
thing. Mr.. Howells was wiser. He
puts upon early seventeenth-centur
lips the speech of the early twentieth,
with an effect which is not incongru-
Gus, but is irresistibly amusing. and
more than amusing. IL is, in his own
words, fantasy OF the seen and the
unseen. But IT is the unseen that is
the more real and convincing. II is a
charming paradox that SO indomitable
a champion OF the realistic in literature
should give us so fine a tour dc force
OF pure imagination; or, shall we say
that so pure bit OF imaginative in
vention should be 30 instinct with vital
reality.

DEAFNESS
A Socio Economic Study Of the
Infirmity.

THE DEAF. Their Position in Society
and the Provision for Their Education
in the United States. BY Harry Best
l2mo. PIP xviii. $40. The Thomas T..
Croweli Company
The deaf have, as a class, been re-
garded with less compassion and solicl-
tude than sufferers from some other
infirmities, such as blindness or loss
of limbs. For this there Is obvious
and satisfactory reason. Deafness de-
prives its victims of the pleasures OF
music and oratory; it seriously inter-
feres with conversation and the re-
ceipt OF information, and 1t subjects
its victims to dangers Of which near
ing would give them warning. But 1t
does not incapacitate them for study
and work, nor make them dependent
upon others to anything like such an
extent as does blindness. There are
even those who hold that IL has, IN
this City Of Dreadful Noise, great COM
pensations, going far toward recon-
Cling its victims TO their lot; or per-
haps toward making them objects OF
envy.
The existence of nearly five hundred
deaf persons in every million of popu-
lation is, however, a social and eco
homie fact of which account Is TO be
aiken, and it indicates condition
which should be abated so far as MAJ
be possible. Toward such abatement tire
copious and arranged Information pro-
vided in Mr.. Bests volume should ma
terially contribute. The causes of deaf
ness and its hereditary Transmission
demand investigation, with a strong
probability that in the information
thus acquired there will be found ways
and means of avoiding the infrmity.
The methods of instruction of the deaf
are also worthy OF consideration, for
the increase of their practical efficiency
and therefore of their economic value
as members of the state. Mr.. Best
has written as a scientific investigator,
with accuracy and orderliness, but not
with any dry technicality which would
repel or make the book unintelligiDle
to the general lay reader.

HANS HOLBEIN.
The Life and Works of a Con-

HANS HOLBEIN THE YOUNGER. By
Arthur b. Chamberlain. Assistant Keep
err of the Corporation Art Gallery, Biz

ing twenty-four in color. In two vol
umes. Imperial Svo, PIP. Xxi, sos; xi, 49,

There are some masters whose bioS-
raphies compel in the reader certain
play of the imagination, even amid the
thickest press of prosaic facts. The
biography OF Michael Angelo. for ex-
ample, may be never so fully docu-
mented, and yet one must do the best
one can to follow him through a shad-
owy, mysterious world. 1t is in that
kind of a world that all the essential
proceedings of the mans soul inces-
sanity go forward With that kind Of
world the greatest art seems always
to be more or less allied. But now
and then we meet with a type indu-
bitably great yet free from the faint
est trace Of mystery, a type significant
of nothing save the interest that lies
in merely ponderable things. Such
type is the artist portrayed by Mr..
Chamberlain, whose lavishly illustrated
work gives us the most exhaustive sur
vey of the subject thus far published
in English. The master of Basic moved
about the world adyenturously enough,
came into contact with divers great
personages and put decidedly varied
achievements to his credit. Neverthe-
less, his splendid renown is that OF
Just a consummate craftsman.
II is TO Horace Walpole, Of all people
in the world, that we owe the happiest
of the many eulogies pronounced upon
this painters phenomenal mastery Of
pure technique. Abiding TO Holbeins
"enarneled bloom" he goes on to re-
mark that he touched his works till
not touch remained discernible.' That
is. perhaps, but another way of saying
that Holbein was one of those rare
men Of genius who have quite literally
used the instruments OF their art only
as a means TO an end. His technical
virtuosity realized itself in such per-
lection that not the dimmest hint OF ef
fort or of self assertion is left upon the
surface Of his work. Having a given
subject To represent, he represents il as
If with no thought Of the mechanical
difficulties involved. Those he can, as
il were. leave to take care Of them
selves, his hand and his eye are so
absolutely unerring on this hypothesis
the reader might possibly urge that We
have, then. no real reason for being pre-
occupied with his technique. The sub
,ect. as subject, should arrest us. But

been omitted without any loss and' III
fact with a substantial gain. But In all
other respects he has produced an IDEAL
study. II Holbein's personality docs
not emerge from It quite at full length
that IS not his fault. The facts were
not available. In everything that could
be set forth In exposition Of the unfold
ing Of the painters career, In the DAT
ing Of his pictures, and In the clarih-
cation Of his artistic environment, MT
Chamberlain uses the thoroughness OF
a scholar and the skill Of a practised
writer. There are other good books
about Holbein. The handsomely Illus
trated folio by Mr.. Davies. for example
will still be sought out by those readers
who prefer a thoroughly asthetic
analysis Of the subject. But for the
history Of that subject, for purposes OF
reference, It will long be necessary to
go to Mr.. Chamberlain.

H.. Harper & Bros.
a thin volume, this, but it contains
more of real value than many another
Of thrice its bulk for it is in just this
sort of excellent fooling that Mr. How
ellis often reaches his best. Here is the
whimsical humor that made his farces
such, things Of pure delight; with, of
course. some of that keen philosophy
which is not dulled but rather sharp
encd by a smile, and which often
makes us wonder whether he is a
philosopher in spite Of himself or-the
reverse. once or twice, indeed, he be-
comes almost mordant, as when he is
telling of American tourists at his hotel
at Stratford, where they abounded,
mostly in motors with the dust of hur-
ried travel upon them" =
1t is not for this, however, that the
book was most written or will most be
priced, but for the conversations OF the
author with the shades of Shakespeare
and Bacon, who revisit the glimpses of
the moon and are among the specta-
tors, not the least interested, OF the
festival performances of some OF the
poets works. Upon these-the works
themselves rather than the perform
ances Of them-they comment most de-
liciously, with now and then sly hit
at the Della Bacon-Ignatius Donnelly
absurdities. Bacon had one day been
speaking OF some Of the more than
tragic passages in his own career,
when
Shakespeare looked at him with a
curious kind of pity What a tragedy

When spirits revisit the earth. it ap-

READY FOR OUTING AT SIORRS
Uncertainties of Transportation Deens Many Norwich
 Business Men From Making the Trip to the Eastern Connecticut Field Day.

p e
 A delegation of about 25 of the Norwich Business Men will represent the local association at the annual outing of the Eastern Connecticut Business Men to be held on Thursday at Storrs. Owing to the uncertain transportation from Willimantic to Storrs," said President H. R Branche of the Norwich Business Mems asso- citation on Tuesday afternoon, the di- rectors of the association decided not to get the local business men out in force" It Is thought that few if any of the Norwich stores will close for the day.
 The local party will include the dt- rectors of the Norwich association, the officials of the County Improvement league and the Eastern Connecticut Development committee members. They will leave about 9.30 o'clock in the morning and the return trip will be made during the early evening
 It is generally conceded that the outing will be the largest the business men of this end of the state have ever held. In addition to the business men of eastern Connecticut each of the
