New Estimates of Old Writers

new estimates of the writer's of the
past generation are constantly being
made and if they were generally ac-
cepted good many people who liked
the works of these writer's would won
der how it happened that their iudg-
ment was so uniformly wrong. One
critic rules George Eliot out of the list
not only of the great, but of the near
great Thackeray and Dickens are
spoken of with liberation, but with
much questioning of their methods and
their real ability; Tennyson is set
aside as second-rate poet by the new
school of verse makers, and so the
iconoclaSm goes on. The latest vic
tim of attack is Flaubert. In the
North American Review Willard Hunt
ington Wright not only declines to re-
gard the author of Madame Bovary"
as a transcendent genius, but refuses
to accord to him place in the front
rank of modern literary artists. He
admits that he is a master of style,
but insists that style, however perfect,
is not of chief artistic significance,
but is only of secondary importance
when compared with the internal
architecture of art" This poised in
ner structure" is a quality he fails to
find In any Of F'laubert's work. 1t is
not quite clear what he means by this
internal architecture, but his critiQue
will be found of interest by readers of
Flaubert.

New Window Glass,

An English inventor has perfected a
new window glass to keep out cold in
winter and heat in summer. The new
glass is based on the well-known prin-
ciple that any gas is a poor conductor
of heat or cold. The ideal window glass
to resist heat or cold would be q dou-
BILE pane, with vacuum between, as
in thermos bottle. But the vacuum
makes the glass so easily breakable
that this is not practical. SO the In
ventor has designed double pane,
with space between the halves,
smoothly welded at all the edges. The
space within is pumped full of carbon
dioxide or some similar inert gas. If
the pressure of the gas within is equal
to the air pressure without the pane
is no more breakahle than an ordinary
one, and it resists the passage of heat
or cold much longer.

Smelling Art Ancient One.

In the old world the art of smelling
ores was discovered about 1900 b. G..
1t has sometimes been suggested that
iron tools and weapons may have been
made at an earlier period from mete-
orites, Recently considerable amount
of evidence in behalf of this hypoth-
esis has been presented by G. f. Zim-
mer. He has compiled list of the
known iron-containing meteorites,
nearly all accumulated within the last
century, and he shows from these alone
about $50 tons of iron might be OBJ
tanned. OF this amount more than 80
per cent is malleable, consisting of a
nlckel-iron alloy.

A dentist, who had been made nery-

BOAR HUNT GIVES THRILLS
Sport Which Once Was Special Amuse-

in West Indies.

That all the romance usually sup
posed to belong to the brave days of
old has not gone out of the world is
indicated by travellers story of wild
boar hunting in the West Indies This
sport was once the special amusement
of kings.
I'VE were retraclng our steps to a
mountaineer's cabin, when our dog left

cracking his jaws, splendid picture
of ferociOus bravery.
TO one side and another he sprang
as the dog crowded him. Then he
would charge the dog and whirl in the
air, scattering the earth like an ex-

antagonists in air half the time. each

For 40 feet in every direction the

startled eyes as though a cyclone of
dog, boar, mud bark and froth had
descended into the darkening covert.

Paris-United States army Officers
assisted In the recent French drive
against the crown prince to the north
Of Verdun when positions along 10
mile front on both sides of the Meuse
were wreSted from the Germans.
This was the first action In which
Americans, as part of the United
States army, figured and the brilliant,
smashing, rapid success Of General
Petain's forces In this section is re-
garded as a happy augury of future
activities of the American army.
The officers who were engaged
were more than Observers-the United
States army has had representatives
with the various forces in the field
ever since the war started. The
American officers formed an actual
part Of the French fighting units that
bounded over the shell-shattered
parapets ten minutes after dawn
broke, and strobe slowly forward to-
ward the pulyerized German posi-
lions. In the wake of the celebrated
Creeping barrage" of artillery fire.
Steel helmets on their heads, re-
volvers in hand, their field glasses
slung around their neeks, gas masks
handy, and their uniforms stripped OF
all marks denotlng rank, the Ameri-
can officers accompanied the French
platoon and battalion leaders, learn
Ing at first sight and directly under
fire how crack "shOck troops are led
into action in a modern offensive.
Although French soldiers fell dead
and dying all around them, and
number of French officers were hit
also, not one American was even
wounded. They advanced from the
original French positions south of the
Mort H0mme, on the left bank Of the
Meuse and south of Hill 344, on the
right bank, clear up to the most nd
vanced trenches captured by the won
derful French infantry
Order Comes to Charge.
At half past four o'clock In the
morning, after waiting all night in
the front line positions, they heard
The word passed along the trenches
by the under officers for the men to
get ready. They saw the war-cGl-
loused French soldiers shake them
selves from slumber In the deep dug
outs-sometines 40 feet underground
where they had been sleeping, I'M
mindful Of the hideOus uproar occa-
stoned both by their own and the en-
envy artillery. They saw the "poilus"
adjust their long, slender bayonets to
their rifles and gingerly feel the hand
grenades I'm the belts around their
waists And then they saw them line
up along the firing step Of the trench.
At quarter to five the shrill whls-
lies Of the subofIicers announced that
the infantry attack was on-that the
sOldlers-mere flesh and blOOd-had
started to finish and cinch the work
performed by the thousands of giant
guns In the rear.
Almost the first thing the Americans
learned was that nowadays troops do
nos charge from trenches at double
quick time" In the first place, the
condition Of the ground over which
the troops must advance is such that
they cannot move rapidly. Pltted with
shell craters, one to thirty feet deep
gOuged with pits caused when mon.
strOus mines were exploded, and knee
deep In the most clinglng mud In the

Gle TO rapid moving.
