the Medical Record (New York;. IL
I quoting a study of this formerly rar,

IL appears that the disease Is cpl

manifests itself in many forms, the
only symptom possessed by all In com.
mon being that OF deep and prolonged
sleep.
In true encephalltis letharglca there
are four cardinal symptoms
paralyses, hypersomnia, fever aud the
general state The ocular paralyses
may be absent at the outbreak of the
disease, but once present they are
Characteristic. So, too, is the type Of
hypersomnia. Ii Is u narcolepSy. but
the subject does not arouse quickly
as in the condition which commonly
goes by the name and IN which the
seizures may be only momentary. How.
ever, the permanent sleep may be pre-
ceded By narc0leptic crises

A Manila Romance
Mrs. Martin Writes of Love
and Missions
ABEL WOOD MARTIN has seen

ABEL WOOD MARTIN mas seen
N(a the romance OF our Pacific out
L q posts, with their garrisons of
military. political and social adven-
turers, and in The Green Gods Pa
vlion lStokes) she has given pic
ture of the Philippines through the
experience OF her heroine-a delicately
nurtured girl who Realistically fol-
lows her missionary spirit and goes TO
teach in the remotest of the islands.
And Yet, though Mrs. Martins scene
is highly coloreo and filled with dra-
matte effects of lighting and charac-
ter, she has not succeeded in making
it really vivid and dramatic. eHer story
seems to be swampcd in atmosphere,
overladen with scents and colors. It's
form is vague. Perhaps the reason for
this is that every white person in the
book is overwhelmingly self-conscious
of bearing the white mans burden.
Every one is ecstatic, rhapsodic and
mystical. No one can speak naturally
of the East. One wearies a little of
the large symbolisms, the posturing
and the sentimentalizing over the
white mans dream Of raising the East
from its lethargy.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-07

who lave known her we'll and those
who have known her slightly, TO tes-
tify
1t is quite in the Masters scheme
that, revealing what they know Of her
life, they reveal themselves They are
people at odds with themselves and
with their circumstances. Each life
reveals its tragic and dramatic sur
prise and each life displays its inner
existence, contrasting tragically with
It's outer one In this much Masters
commands mis- material He can make
these drab figures Of American every
day life fame with potential passions
He makes these dumb violences OF the
spirit credible and real.
But the foreword reveals that the
pretensions of The Domesdav Book are
larger than this. These figures, testj-
tying on Elenor Murray and on them
selves, unroll tangled web Of human
clationships, its knottings with other
lives the complex pattern of one life
in its setting Of many other lives. Not
only do they testify but they reflect
the book is heavy with their reflections
on life, morality, art, theosophv, single
tax-evervrhing and anything that
Masters has thought upon, doubtless
They eXplicate themselves, they arc
grown sclf-conscious. And, thus en-
largcd, they lose in clarity. They are
vague and diffused, ghosts of those
ghosts who speak from the epitaphs
The Masters technique has grown a
little set; the edge of its iconocasm
is little dulled 1t causes 10 sur
prise any more that husbands and
wives confess to hating each other;
rather The other way around Seduc-
tons and suicides, murders and rapes
they cause scarcely a stir. The fact
OF the matter is that, in spite Of the
great number of these portraits, the
texture Of them is monotonously the
same. Long, long before the four nun
dred or so pages are accomplished one
is dulled to all violence, wearied with
this restlessness Of passion.
The Domesday Book is 'ar more pre-
tentlous and at the same time far lie :
successful than The Anthology as a
piece of realism. 1t shows Masters
straying from what he knows to what
he thinks
