A school story that is different" Not
the conventional athletic tale, but lively
narrative introducing us to small boys in
the Lower school, to big ones in the
Upper school. and to masters who are
human beings, genuinely interested in the
young people under their charge. Opin-
ions may differ as to whether Paul or
Archer is the hero. but as soon as Archer
enters the story, the difference" begins
Due to several detached incidents before
the Christmas holidays. Paul came back
to find himself in a trying and ineXplic-
able field; library, chapel, schoolroom, or
infirmary, the interest never flags, nor is
Paul's problem wholly cleared up until
the last chapters. The characters are
natural. the fun is delightful, and the
story as a whole possesses certain bright
spontaneity. Boys and girls from ten to
fifteen will especially enjoy it, but peo-
pie even older will appreciate it's quiet
humor. it's skilful misunderstanding, and
the charm of it's unusual atmosphere.

Price, net, s1.25; postpaid, $40. Lothrop,
Lee & Shepard Co., Boston.
You remember Uncle Terry" one of
the great novels that have swept the
country and touched the hearts of scores
of thousands. The same quaint and
lovable philosopher is with us in another
book, even wiser and no less kindly than
before. He had for time retired from
his life on the rocky coast of Maine to
its vast Wilderness, where the mystic
presence of this primitive forest is most
potent, and where mineral wealth was
found by an energetic young man. But
Uncle Terry could not set his heart on
such riches when it was already full of
affection for an adopted daughter, more
brilliant and highly priced than any gem
from the mines. and one who could not
fail to attract young men in the way
that is old, yet ever new. In the story
of love and adventure which develops,
Charles Clark Mum has put his whole
soul into producing his best novel in a
field in which he is the acknowledged
master.

The claim that women do not want
to vote is again given the lie in the
Chicago election. 1t was the first OPP
pOrtunity they had had to vote for
mayor, yet more than $4,000 women
went to the polls-more than 80 per

Making Submarines Useless.

Germany has given up hope that
the submarine U-29 will come back.
Another submarine has been caught in
a net. Every inventor of civilization
has on his thinking cap to meet the
submarine problem. And already 1t
would seem that the menace has been
met by a remarkable invention that
tells of the proximity Of ships, Ice
bercs, rocks and so on. Cleveland
Moffett in the April American Maya
zine tells the fascinating story Of a.
submarine sounding apparatus which,
attached to vessels under the water
line. listens to and reports the doings
of the deep. On the future Of this
invention the author says in part
Coming to the general future Of this
invention, it's many advantages insure
it's wide adoption on vessels of all
sorts. In fogs and dangers of the
night every ship will sound it's code
letter two or three times a minute,
thus revealing it's identity to other ships

known by the automatic swing on an
electric needle mounted beside the

graduated dial, the less the distance.
This means no more collisions like that

press Of Ireland would have been
talking that night to the other ship,
listening to her signals and steering
accordingly, if they had both carried
water wireless oscillators.
LAS to icebergs, the echo method in
sures safety. since it indicates distance
and direction. The Titanic would
have known (by an electric indicator)
the precise direction and distance Of
that tragic iceberg while she was still
three miles from danger. AS to the
perils Of shoals and reefs along regu-
larly navigated coasts, it is plain that
a line Of oscillator stations placed at
intervals, rs lighthouses and bell buoys
are placed, and sounding forth water
wireless code signals at brief intervals
in bad weather or at night would Gre

safety, reaching ten or twenty miles

impossible for vessels to drive upon the
rocks"
These signals, under water, travel
more swiftly than they would
through the air since sound moves
through the water at the rate Of 4,400
feet a second, while through the air
is moves at the rate of only 100 feet
q second. All seafaring mon know the
untrustWorthiness Of sound warnings
sent through the air from steam
whistles. These warnings are often
unheard, even at a very short distance,
owing to adverse wind conditions, or
to disconcerting "holes in the air." or
to unfavorable reflections or skippings
of the sound from the waters surface.
With such an apparatus attached to
a battleship or cruiser it would be i'm
possible for a submarine to approach
within striking distance without dis
covery. To make submarines useful
in the future they must be patterned
something after the Jules Verne liter
