Psychical Study
Phases of Spiritisn Dis
cussed by Mr.. Darlington

THE PROBLEMS OF PSYCH1CAL RE-
SEARCH. BY Hereward Darlington.
Published by Dodd. Mead & Co.
n ER. CARRINCTON is one of the
N most distinguished modern au-
thorities on the subject of
spiritism. Believing that psychical re-
search is proper subject of scientific
study, he is not open to the accusation
Of uncritical and excessive credulity.
The evidence which he adduces in sup
port of his theories is always carefully
sifted and tested. His attitude toward
the question Of psychical manifesto
tions is equally far removed from dog
matte skepticism and unquestioning
telief. He sums up his position quite
adequately in the following passage:
"While l freely admit that probably
SO per cent of so-called mediums are
fraudulent, am equally emphatic in
declaring that residuum of genuine
phenomena exists-that supernormal
manifestations do occur, and that every
one who investigates carefully enough
and long enough will find them. This
has been not only my own experience,
but that of every person who has in
vestigated this subject with an impair
tial mind for any length of time"
In the present book Mr.. Darlington
sums up the results of psychical, re-
search in many fields. The book is es-
sentially theoretical it emphasizes
psychological phenomena rather than
physical manifestations. sOne of the
most interesting chapters is devoted to
psychic photography, and the whole
volume is profusely illustrated with
spirit photographs. Mr.. Darlington
discusses the uses and abuses of mind
cure. Admitting the value of psyche
logical suggestion as q help in curing
certain disorders, he censures faith
healers for concentrating their atten-
tion upon suppressing symptoms rather
than upon removing causes.
The book is extremely informative
and we'll balanced; it unquestionably
deserves to rank as one of the standard
works on the subject.

The Creator of the Brownie.

The Creator of the Brownies
Palmer Cox, the creator of the fs-
nous Brownies, though he has passed
the foursccre mark, is still as youth
full in spirit as any of the thousands
of boys and girls who delight in read
ing about the gay pranks Of these
little people. Recently he sent the
Century Company, his publishers, q
card which he had drawn and colored
himself. A smiling Brownie in one
corner chuckles over the following bit
of verse, entitled Evening in Brownie
land":
"The sun has left the west in pink.
And stars began to pass the wink,
And soon the lesser lights grew red
Till heaven seemed one carnation bed:
Old Neptune turned watery eye
On lovely Venus, bathing nigh,
In ell he saw through orbits wide,
Or in imagination spied,
He never anything had seen
That so upset the Old Marine"

SHORT SKETCH OF EUROPEAN HIS.

by Frederick A. Stokes Company.
LITTLE HISTORY or THE GREAT WAR
BY II. Vast. Translated by Raymond
Weeks. Published by Henry Holt & Co.
THE reader who wishes to refresh
his historical memory should
find an abundance of helpful ma.
terial in these three books. Each sums
uP in brief compass long series Of
eIochal events. By process of riror-
Gus compression essentials are
eliminated and the most important oc-
currenccs are sketched in their barest
outlines.
The most ambitious effort is the his
tory of the world. This work. first
published in 1917, is now revised and
brought down to date by a supple
mentary account of the war and it's
aftermath. The authors are inclined
TO favor ancient and modern at the ex-
pense of medieval history. They de-
serve high praise for throwing over
the old conception of history as a rec
ord of wars, conquets and dynasties.
BY emphasizing the economic and social
characteristics of the ages which they
describe they give a much more real
lstic picture of the human race in its
various stages of development than
the old-fashioned chronicler who sees
in the experiences of the various coun-
tries little but tangled skein of more
or less related political intrigues
Messrs. Botsford are especially sue
cessful in the chapters dealing with
Greek and Roman civilization, medi-
eval life in town and country and the
industrial revolution.
Mr.. Marshall is more personal and
vivid in his method. His book contains
number Of the sayings and anecdotes
traditionally ascribed to various chiefs
and warriors. He devotes special at
lowing the breakup of the Roman En-
pire, which has been more or less
neglected since Gibbon. The scope of
Mr.. Marshall's work is extended beyond
the generally accepted boundaries of
the Middle Ages; he also takes up in
some detail the Renaissance and the
Reformation. A chronological table at
the end of the book is useful source
Of reference for dates of important
events.
M. Vast, who is honorary examiner
for admission to the famous French
military school. st. Cyr. has written an
admirable, lucid and we'll proportioned
history of the war, illustrated with
number of maps. After a sketch of
tie historical background of the world
conflict, the author takes up the vari-
Gus campaigns and describes them in
popular, noi1-technical fashion, bring
ing his work to conclusion with the
signing of the armistice.

Pictures Girl of the Age

THE SEVENTH ANGEL. BY Alexander
Black. Published by Harper and Bros.
TT DAWNS on one as he reads
Alexander Blacks The Seventh
Angel, published by Harpers, that
here is a novelist of new school. He
propounds social or personal tenet
through monologue or conversation
and then clears the air Of the whole
matter in concise, swift passage or
page of implication or consideration.
The title, The Seventh Angel, allie
gorical, is derived FROM "the seventh
angel" of the Apocalypse; with it's con-
text in Scripture, it may be accepted
as sort of synonym for the late
war and the babel that follows it
to-day. The hero of this book, if
so he may be called, is in reality
the man with the baton seated over
the orchestra. He reads the score and
he swings the interpretative charac-
ters into their voicings and movings
by beckonings of his imaginary stick.
We have said that this is a novel of
a new order. 1t is exceedingly of the
age. Even if its plan has been copied
before, it is in this story wholly
twentieth century. 1t gives us the
symboical figure of a mind. rather
than man, brooding over the twist
ing currents of a great city's life as
imaged in the rivulets of little group
Of people, mind detached from and
yet one with the crossing, meeting
sympathetic and antagonistic move
ments of the members of the group
Ann Forrest, in this novel, is the
incarnate spirit of the hope of the
world, consequent from che terror and
despair of the war, necessary to the
welfare of mankind. With extreme
skill Black throws Ann almost vo-
lently against the primary creative
forcel of love, social equality and
labor Maxton, the scribe and on
locker, sketches himself and Ann early
in the novel in this pencilled brief:
81 was the Past listening to the clamor
of the Present Ann was the Future,
asking, asking, waiting at the brink
for the authentic starting signal"
1t was Ann, in the opening pages of
the novel, who leaped from chair,
followed burly fellow across the
floor of cafe, smote him on the Jaw
with her fist and knocked him down.
She had the gift of quick diagnosis and
swift action. She had gone through
part of the war, in France, and she
had acquired vision of something
new, perhaps glimmering on a far hor-
izon, yet to be seen and apprehended
If approached. To that vision she ad-
vanced straight on. Arrested on the
street at night, on a false charge, she
suffered imprisonment. She wanted to
know why. When affairs concern her
friend, the obvious yet elusive Irma.
Ann exclaims: Cant you see that I

IA H R. MILLER, who was the legal
MI adviser of the American Peace
Mission, submits concise
summary OF the labor clauses of the
Versailles treaty and their practical
implications. He shows that the idea
OF regulating conditions of labor
through international agreement had
made slow progress before the war.
The provisions Incorporated in the
peace treaty constitute, in his opinion,
radically new departure in this field.
1t is provided that an international
conference, made up of delegates from
the states which are members of the
League Of Nations, shall be held at
least once year. The representation
from each state consists of four dele
gates, two to be selected by the gov
ernment, one by the organized employ
ers, one by organized labor. The au-
thor reviews the achievements of the
first of these conferences, which was
held at Washington in the fall of 1919.
This conference voted the admission of
Germany and Austria as member
states, discussed various matters of
international labor interest and brought
pressure to bear upon backward coun-
tries, such as Japan and India, to i'm
prove their labor conditions.
The labor clauses of the treaty also
set up an international labor Office, Il
permanent body charged with the func-
ton of collecting and distributing in
formation about international indus
trial conditions and examining all ques-
tions which may come up for discus
sion in the conference. Mr.. Miller be-
lieves that both the conference and the
labor Office will prove extremely helpful
agencies in accelerating the pace of
social progress and removing the dis
trust which the workers of some coun
tries unfortunately feel for their gov
ernments and their employers.

touches of wit and humor; the human
element is never ignored in his OBJ
servations and wanderings. Unlike
some hooks of travel, it is literature
OF high order. To read it is to cx-
perience an almost irresistible desire
to drop all pressing business, pack up
few belongings and spend several
months bssking in the tropical West
Indian sun, far from work and
worries.
Mr.. Graham, an Englishman who is
familiar with the people and customs
OF South America, has always showed
an inclination to leave the tourists
beaten path, strike out for himself and
discover interesting out-of -the-way cor
ners. In Cartagena and the Banks of
the Slnu he explores little known
province of Colombia for the benefit
of his readers.
Gartagena is one of the oldest cities
IN America, founded nearly four hun
dred years ago by one of the earlv
spanish conquerors. Even now it's at
mosphere is distinctly Spanish. It has
been little touched by the busting
progress of the modern world. It is
surrounded by immense walls. The
streets are narrow and winding; the
white and yellow houses have the nu
merous balconies and grated windows
OF different age and civilization. The
city is dominated by q magnificent ca
thedral.
Picturesque Cartagena
"Of all the towns of the Department
OF Bolivar" says Mr.. Graham. "Carta
gena is the most picturesque. Not only
is it the most Old World town of the
department, but of the whole republic,
and perhaps of the whole continent of
South America. All day the old white
town basks in the sun, and at the Ave
Maria, when the innumerable church
bells jangle and clang, breeze springs
up from off the sea. IN the dark, wind
ing streets, where there are houses
over whose reconstructed doors are cut
the crests of conquerors, men stand be-
tore the grated windows, as they do in
Seville or in Cordoba, whispering the
tale, SO wearisome to any but the ear
it is intended for, old as the world, but
which will yet be fresh after a thou
sand years have passed away"
Cartagena has had stirring history,
despite it's present aspect of Oriental
calm. Mr.. Graham describes at length
the exploits of some of the early Span
lsh adventurers and outlines more
briefly the experiences of Cartagena
during the South American wars of in
dependence
Going back from the coast, along the
River Sinu, the author finds hardy
race of cowboys, who tend the cattle of
the vast ranges. The Sinu, like most
South American rivers, is almost COW
cred in places by the rich vegetation
which springs from its banks.
Mr.. Graham describes the transplant
ed bit Of Old World civilization repre-
sented by Cartagena with a warm re-
gard for it's picturesque beauty and
faithful appreciation of it's spirit.

IT. YER since Marco Polo's journey
r. centuries ago there has been
= great wondering as to the exact
roads he covered. Students have gone
over his story map in hand, have tried
to make his descriptions coincide with
peculiarities of country, and in way of
final corroboration have traversed
trails that appear to resemble those
mentioned by the great pioneer into
