 most important and radical feature of the book is it's clear and complete separa- ton of the mental processes of reasoning and thinking, giving as it does to reason the supreme place in the infinite economy. Man is shown to reason with his intel lectual faculties, and to think with his whole being.
 It tells you where man goes when he goes to sleep or goes crazy. It proves that there is but one infinite law, that of rightness. It scientifically proves the immortality of the soul, and demon strates by analogy the conditions of life can control his health, happiness and prosperity, and must eventually arrive at perfection.
 The aim of this work is to make com- prehensible the grandeur of the immobile, intangible infinite, reposing majestically in it's eternal, unchanging stiffness, in everything, as everything, propelling everything.
 Its method is by a proper classification and description of the processes of the human mind to make clear that right reasoning must precede right thinking, which is synonymous with right acting. Its development shows that human be- ings always eager for health, happiness and prosperity, finding these things de-
  thoughts, will become more careful in their reasoning and thus live cleaner and more reasonable lives
 Its iconoclasm is only that of removing obstacles delaying man in his progress to perfection.
 Its constructiveness is the convincing of man of his sufficient equipment to overcome all impediments to his arrival at positive rightness
 Its effect by divestng death of it's terrors and the future life of it's unrea- sonable dullness, must be to cause man to regard life here and now as a pleas ing and profitable incident preparatory to still more pleasing and profitable ex- periences there and then.
 Its hope is that it may find its way into every home and every life.

Twisting a Message

From the Pittsburg Chroincle-T Telegraph.
 One of the methods of communicating from one officer to another in the trenches of the present great war is to give the messages to one of the private and tell him to "pass the word along the line until it reaches it's destination viz, the officer at the other end. The following story will show how a serious message can be distorted on it's journey from mouth to mouth.
 Lieutenat A, in charge of one end of the British line, told the private in front to "pass the word along to Lieutenant B.: We are going to advance; can you lend us reinforcement"
 When Lieutenant B. received the mes- sage it was like this: We are going to a dance; can you lend us three and four- pence?"

HOOKING FOR GRACE7

 THE BANNER OF THE BULL By Rafael Sabatini Frontispiece in color. J. B. Lppincott Co.,, publishers, Phila- delphia.
 Cesare Borgia, Duke of Valentinois and Roma gna, upon one side of the shield the youthful, the beautiful, the noble countenanced, upon the other, the devil, the fiend incarnate, Is the protagonist of the three stories concerning the life of the Italian renaissance contained in this unusual volume by Rafael Sabatini, the author of "The Sea Hawk"
 MT. Sabatini has studied the renais- sance with a veritable passion, with the result that the characters who moved across the troubled scene are made to live again through the agency of his ex- cellent language. Messo Machaevel Ma donna Blanca, Sinbaldi, Pievano, scores of oondotterei, henchmen and retainers go about their business of craft, and deceit with the reader observing them as through a microscope.
 Borgia, we may say, played three cards one in each story-he losses the second, but the first and the rubber are his. The first cast is of how Messer Lorenzo, the bravest trooper among the dukes war riors, scales the heights of St. Leo so as to betray the city into equalization +o the troops of his leader, camped on the plain below. Instead of throwing open She gates as he had planned, he Is de- tected as a spy, and condemned to Jump off the battlement. He turns pretty trick however, in forcing the princess, the Madonna blanca, to fall in love With him. She capitulates her heart and then the city for the love of Lorenzo, which after all was what the crafty Borgia, calmly waiting upon the plain below. all the while intended. The story is excel lently told; there is excitement of blood and the sword when such matters hang in the balance; there is the pleasurable thrill of being privy to the talk of de- lightful lovers; there is the skillfuly pre-

 The character of Gimblet, the detec- tive, appears again in this volume but, unlike the usual novel detective, he is by no means infallible, and conse- quently his efforts to arrive at the correct solution of the mystery are far more interesting than those of the infallible sleuth hound, though it must be said that the extraordinary compli- cations of the Ashiel Mystery would have puzzled Lecocq himself.

THE THINKING UNIVERSE"

By Edward E. Sheppard; the Authors
 company, publishers, 1735 West Sixth
 street. Los Angeles, Cal.
 'The Thinking Universe" by Edward E. Sheppard is an unusual book in that it announces for the first time the inn portant scientific discovery that infinite life,is static-motionless. Contrary to the teaching of physics that all life is mo- tion, the author demonstrates with abso- lute finality that while all epressed life created things-is motion, infinite life the parent, the positive life--is motionless while being the cause of all motion.
 Mary Baker Eddy's theory that "every- thing is mind' is demonstrated to be scientifically correct and is carried to it's logical conclusion that, everything be- ing mind, everything thinks. Man thinks" but he also reasons. he alone being endowed with reason. Perhaps the

"HEIDI"

By Johanna Spyri, translated by Eliza
 beth P Stork; eight illustrations;
 J. B. Lippincott company, publishers,
 Philadelphia.
 A new edition of the delightful "Heidi' is amply justified. especially so, since this "Stork" edition in illustra- tions, binding, type and in the subtle simplicity and beauty of the translation excels all others that we have seen.
 Was Heidi one of your favorites? She was one of mine and I know that l will never be too old to enjoy reading it. Unassuming in plot and style it may well lay claim to rank as world classic. Background and characters ring true, the pure air of the Alps is waited to us from every page; the house among the pines, the meadows and the eagle poised above the naked rocks form picture that no one could willingly for get; the people from the kindly town folk of Frankford to the quaint and touching peasant types are as real as any you have found in even more weighty and more serious volumes. It has been said that even the goats of the little goatherd, Peter have their individual personalities, and as for the heroine, she is a blessing not only to everyone in the story, but to everyone WnO TeaQS |.
 This work is of the spirit of Germany as we knew it before Prussianism dominated her ideals. It is a story of sweetness and light, morality and hap piness. Those interested in beautiful illustrations should see those of Maria L. Kirk. They are of just the fantastic airiness to kindle the imagination of the little tots 1 have touched upon the translation; I must repeat that it Is as well nigh perfect narrative Eng fish as you could desire, and the trans lator tells us that she has especially tried to gauge the cadences for the use of those that read aloud.
 One of the best of the diverse modern educational movements is that of start ing the children in the nursery with a taste for good literature It Is an ad- mitted fact that if you surround child with poor books his taste will prob ably follow along those lines; surround him with good ones and the riches of literature will forever be his. 'Heidi' is the latest addition to the Stories All Children Love" series, series that presents dozen of the greatest chill dren's classics in a form worthy of their contents Those mothers will be wise who make a point of having a bookshelf in the nursery containing these volumes that the children may hear them read aloud and be stimulated to learn to read for themselves.

SUSSEX WAS TORPEDOED

Washington, ID. c., March 29.-The
British horseship was first shelled and
then torpedoed by a German subma-
rine, according to affidavits made to
representatives of the State Depart
ment at Liverpool by three American
survivors.
Following the receipt of this infor-
nation to-day, officials said it seemed
clear that the EnElishman had tried
to escape. The submarine was oper-
ating within the law in Smelling and
torpedoing the Englishman, if the
vessel was fleeing to escape capture
as is inferred by officials here from
the dispatch.
The German Government has been
asked whether any of Its submarines
was concerned in the sinking of the
Englishman or the damaging of the
British channel steamer Sussex while
that ship was carrying % American
passengers.
While it is indicated that the case
of the Englishman may not lead to
difficulties between the United States
and Germany, if it is proved she was
escaping, overnight dispatches to the
State Department from Dover seem
officials said, to bear out previous all
legations that the Sussex was tor
pedoed. American consular represen-
tatives, it was said in the dispatches
had secured from various survivors at
Dover affidavits confirming those by
survivors in France. The contents of
the dispatches was not disclosed here
