stories and articles on Turkish life and

Persia; he may unite with the Arabs;
his Punishment may give a new mean

Greece in the second Balkan war, ac-

On the contrary, she was getting the
upper hand of them when Rumania in

trance into the war on the side OF the

THE LIMITATIONS OF SCIENCE"

In this work, published to-day by
Henry Holt g. Co., Professor Louis I.
More undertakes to show how sci
entists have steadily extended our
knowledge Of natural phenomena and
laws, and have also created a most
complicated and purely metaphysical
world which has no resemblance to
that of our sensations. Many sci
entists claim that this making OF
hypothesis is a necessity, and others
that it is useful, although the conclu-
sions derived from these speculations
are false. Both Of these claims are
discussed in the first five chapters.
The next chapter deals with the effect
of this method on men of science. In
the last chapter the relation OF hy-
pothesis to science in general is con-
sidered. The question is asked whether
scientific sociology and scientific
ethics are advisable, or even possible.
The authors contention. is in accord
with Bergson's philosophy as to the
limitations Of the human intellect.

The happiest touch in Mr.. Eaton's
,omsnce of the adoption Of a rundown
farm Is the uncertainty in which he
leaves US as to the amount Of premedl-
.a.,on in the heroine's share in the
creation Of the idyl. With demure
enthusiasm she helps the young college
teacher turned farmer TO plan the
coz;ness. the LONELINESS OF the ola
house in course Of reconstruction is
tlsrs more in this from the very frst
thar the feminine home-making In
,tinct? Is she already planning for
herself subconsciously perhaps-as
well as for him? However that may
be- the story is a happy mingling OF
realism and romance, of, for instance,
the LAYING out of a potato patch ana
the planning of a sun-diai-and q
bookplate-of young love and calcula-
tious Of revenue from the investment.
There is just enough Of this practicai
side Of the enterprise to make the book
Of service TO those intending to do
likewise: there is never so much OF

story opens Sarah is over forty, she
has been a teacher more than twenty
years, and has grown into a lonely,
shy old maid long since resigned to
her fate. Then the old lover, still
married, returns. and Sarah has her
belated season Of innocent love and

with her life. The book, so the an

it will tend to create an interest in

which after all is but another name

A GREEN ENGLISHMAN. And Other Stories Of
Canada. By ;. Macuaughtan. l2mo. pp 307
L. F. Dutton g. Co.
Miss Macnaughtan has travelled in
all parts of the British Empire, and has
for some time been drawing upon her
experiences for literary material. The
eight stories of present-day Canada
contained in this volume have mostly
English heroes and heroines; the title
of the book fits them all more or less
well. They show careful observation
of Canadian conditions, and of the ap-
premiership which the English ten
derfoot, especially of the better class,
must serve before he finds himself.
There are tales here Of failures and
successes. among the latter one of a
Scotch immigrant who rose to great
heights and may be identified with at
least one great name in the history of
the development Of Canada. There is
a tale of deserted house in the coun-
try of the habitants; and-best of all
"a tragedy Of the loneliness of the
long winters in the great Northwest.
But the stories are written from with
out. on the surface. They cannot for a
moment bear comparison, either In in
terest or knowledge of the country and
its people, with the work Of the native
Canadian novelists.
