Tradition and Good Books.

Good books, like well-built houses, must have tradition behind them, writes Henry Seidel Canby in the Yale Review. The Homers and Shake speares and Goethes spring from rich soil left by dead centuries; they are like native trees that grow so well no' where else. The little writers--hacks, who sentimentalize to the latest order, and display their plot novelties like bargains op an advertising page-are Just as traditional. The only differ. ence is that their tradition goes back fo books instead of life. Middle-sized authors-the very good and the prob- ably enduring-are successful largely because they have grirped tradition and followed 1t through to conteln. porary life. That is what Thackeray did in "vahity Eair," Howells in "The Rise of Silas Lapham" and Mrs. Whar- ton in "The House of Mirth." But back-to-uature books-both sound ones and those shameless exposures of the private emotions of ground-kogs and turtles that call themselves nature boeks-are the most traditional of all. For they plunge directly into what might be called the adventures of the

The Indian Sign Language.

A white man who visits a foreign nation finds il hard and sometimes impossible to make his most ordinary wants known. The red man has no such difficulty; the problem of uni versa) language was solved centuries ago by the savage inhabitants of this western world. Should an Indian from northern Alaska go to Patagonia he could by means of this universal lan- guage converse with his southern brethren almost as easily as he could with his neighbors at home. That would also be the case if he visited Central America or met the tribes
 men of our own western prairies and mountains. When this language was Invented no one knows, but every h. dian learns it in addition to his own. Recently two chiefs of different tribes met in the Geographic society rooms in Washington and held a conversation that lasted nearly three hours, and yet neither one knew word of the oth- er's language. This universal lan- guage is, of course, made up of signs.

orloin Of Moon In Doubt.


 Many theories of the origin of the moon have been advanced. but all seeAi to present some difficulties Cur satellite furnishes us many un, solved problems. A belief in the meteoric origin of the moon is now quite general. According to ::iis be ief the earth was surrounded in the early stages of It's existence by ring of neteoric matter. The material forming the ring gradually gathered into one mass, our present moon. whose pitted face gives evidence of the bombardment 1t received from mo teoric masses within the ring. Accord. Ing to this theory our satellite has al- ways been a dead world, q cold and lifeless mass of meteoric rock. It has never fell the pulse of life or under gone ths mighty changes that have passed over its ruling planet. It has remained a cold and silent witness to vast evolutionary processes going cn upon a neighboring world such as t could never experience for iA aelf
