"The Twentieth Plane"

I IFE on the Twentieth Plane seems
IL to be just one darned Chautauqua
after another. That is the one clear i'm
preston that remains after reading the
confusing tumble of Communications
received via Ouija board and other well
beaten paths of interastral transporta-
ton and set down by DR.. Albert Durrant
Watson of Toronto in a bulky volume
called The Twentieth Plane. That isn't
the highest plane thank goodness
There are references by various Late Ia
mented individuals to the Twenty-ffth
Plane, In which things are said to be
similar though rather more So There
is, then, at least some slight ground for
hope that at some stage in the life after
death it viii not be compulsory to sit
under a pink sky in an astral Morris
chair, absorbing synthetic beef extract
and listening to dispositions by Ebert
Hubbard. That, one gathers, is the way
in which many, if not all, of the jewellers
In the Twentieth Plane spend their time.
1t was a curiously mixed company that
gathered in (or on) the Twentieth Plane
to send communications to DR.. Watson
through Louis Benjamin. Lincoln,
Wordsworth, Shelley, Poe, Coleridge,
Whitman, Tsine, Hugo, Voltaire, George
Eliot, Shakespeare-one could almost I'll
out the list from the backs of any five
foot shelf Of the Worlds Best Literature.
This and the statement that the denizens
of the Twentieth Plane spend their time
in Mental Improvement help to create
the Chautauqua atmosphere with which
'the whole revelation" is surrounded.

college in the Twentieth Plane. In the
faculty are Emerson, Carlyle and Lin
coin. Did we not have the authors as

Uncle Sans Boys Smash the Germans
in much the way that we have observed
them do so in some six or seven boys
books this season. Not a single feature
is overlooked. Six school chums see the
war through side by side until they stand
triumphant on the banks of the Rhine on
page 254.
Fellows, when we were all back IN
grammar and high school in the old home
town of Gridley, did any of US ever have
a notion we'd live to see this day on the
Rhinep
To which one of the fellows replies
modestly enough: q.
'1n those dear old days of the recent
past we were concerned with the bigger
job of learning how to grow up into
really good, average Americans. So we
finally arrived here on the Rhine, just as
we'd go anywhere or do anything that
America pointed out to US as being our
job"
1t sounds easy but it isn't. As the
wife of one of our foremost juvenile au-
thors said the other day: John hnds It
so difficult to write these books. They
all have to be different"

NUT Of contest in Geographic pen
" manship, initiated May, 1917, in
the Railroad Mans Magazine, Donald Me-
Nicol, who was judge in the contest, has
made a little book entitled Telegraph
Operators Penmanship, which describes
the conditions under which the contest was
held and the widespread interest IN it all
over the United States, Canada and In our
island possessions
The introduction tells how telegraphers
in the pre-typewriter days developed a
legible and flowing style Of writing, and
gives specimens of the penmanship of such
famous quondam telegraphers as Thomas
A. Edison, Samuel F. B. Morse, Andrew
Carnegie and james D. Reid. the first SUI
perintendent in America of a commercial
telegraph company.
The rest of the book is devoted to re-
productions of the writing of the twenty
four winners IN the Railroad Mans Mag
asine contest, or rather in the two con-
tests, for the one for men was followed In
1918 by second contest for women. 1t
is worthy of note that when the specimen
of writing sent in by Miss Laura Ecker of
Kansas City, Mo-, was handed to the judge
his comment was: ''The girl does not live
who can write hand as typieaIly tele-
graphic and beautiful as that" But she
did, and does, and she won first place in
the contest.

Mot all of the secret service work
x that resulted in the detection of
German plots in the United States in the
days previous to Americas entry into the
war was done by the Bureau Of Criminal
Investigation of the Department Of JUS
tice, by the United States Secret Service
or even by the American Protective
League. A considerable share OF It feif>to

York police force, and In lively and en-
tertaining volume entitled Throtled In
spector Thomas J. Tunney tails Of some
Of the adventures and achievements of
this group Of police detectives
While the story is Inspector Tunney's,
he modestly admits on the title page that
it was set down for him by Paul Merrick
Hollister. The result may not be precisely
literature could wish for more of the
raciness and directness that one expects
from policeman talking shop-but it is
sueeinct, straightforward narrative from
which the reader may not only get new
angle on the activities Of German spies
and plotters and Of the officials detailed
to throttle their activities, but much in
teresting information about cipher codes
and how to decipher them, bombs and how
TO make them and similar useful bits Of
knowledge.
What makes the book worth willie, how
ever. is its revelations Of the German
character nothing new, perhaps, but
cumulative evidence of the curious and
childlike complex of eredulity. cruelty,
conceit and covardice which tie world
has come to know as the German spirit.

surancc that both he himself and Nj. Een-
iamin, the medium tr,.lled The Iustr'l-
ment in the book }, are above suspicion, 1t
would be natural to suspect some Of those
concerned with having delved deeply in
the eurrieula of some of our worthiest
correspondence universities
The communications themselves are
the same sort of deliberately platitudinous
and obvious tOmmyrot one always gets
from spirits. Why doesn't some one In
vent a Ouija board that will permit the
spirits to say something originate The
present. crude continuance seems designed
TO strain out every new or interesting
thought. 1t would be a tremendous re-
lief to pick up a book of spirit world
communications and find something that
hasn't already been said in this mundane
plane by the good DR.. Marden, or Eliza
beth Towne, or Mrs. Eddy. To be sure,
the deadly Chautauqua atmosphere of the
Twentieth Plane must sooner or later
reduce the mental processes Of the dwell
ers therein to sort of platitudinOus
mush, and perhaps We are really getting
the best they have to offer. They are all
so self-satisfed one strongly suspects this
IS the case.
One wonders, too, why the only spirits
we hear from are those of folk we already
know all about. The merit of Patience
Worth lay as much in the fact that no
body had ever heard of her as in the
story she had to tell. Surely there must
have been wise men before Bacon, poets
before Chaueer, statesmen before lincoln
The suggestion is freely offered to psychi-
cal researchers that they read up on the
styles of Confucius, Zoroaster, Saadi,
Caedmon and Ariosto, for example, and
see if they can't get their Ouija boards
to give up something fresh.

The Come Back of
Down and Outer

no you believe IN fairness If so
~ you will have no trouble in assimi-
lating the story Of Marsh GOrdon's
"come back" as set down in The Man Who
Discovered Himself, by Willis George
Emerson, who, to Judge from this novel, is
a frank admirer of the Harold Bell Wright
school of fiction.
At so Marsh Gordon is a cobbler in
shoe shop in Veniee-by- the-Sea, California.
He is afflicted with tuberculosis and a
vain wife and daughter, the only bright
spots IN his life being his love Of reading
and his youngest daughter. Bessie. His
illness causes him to lose his job, and his
wife suggests that he 60 out into the
desert country IN an effort to find cure.
Marsh discovers that his wife and daugh-
ter are ashamed of him, and leaving them
all the money he has saved except few
dollars he strikes out for Arizona
And here is where the kind Of faith that
puts its trust in fairies comes in handy
in the further perusal of this tale. From
being agent at a lonely desert railway sta
ton, where he is known as Jim Marshall,
Gordon In ten years passes through the
stages of a wealthy ranch owner and a
lawyer, and arrives at being Governor of
Arizona. And when his wife and daugh-
ter come to visit him, not knowing who he
is, it is only the loving child Bessie who
recognizes him, the wife thinking his IN
terest in her Is that of solitary man who
wants to propose. And he sends her back
to California to dwell In Society"
sphere only moved IN by the wicked, ae-
eording to harold belfwrighters.
After all Mrs. Gordon deserved better
treatment at the hands Of her creator, for.
she was a domestic genius of very high
order. Any woman who, on the salary Of
q shoe clerk In an Iowa town, could send
her daughter through Wellesley and study
art herself might better served as the
leading character Of the novel.
