Old Manuscripts
Attraction of These Unique
Historical Documents

BOOKS IN MANUSCRIPT. BY Falcon.r
MADAM Published by IIegan Paul.
Trench Trubner & Co.. London.
Y NHE classical or medieval manu-
script possesses a distinct indi-
viduality that is altogetherla lack
ing IN the modern printed book. The
records set down on stone, or papyrus,
or parchment, or rough medieval paper
reflect the characteristics Of the tims
when they were written in a manner
quite unthinkable in this age, when
writing, like everything else, has be-
come thoroughly mechanical.
Mr.. MADAM attempts to initiate the
iayman into the secret joys of anti
quarlan research. He describes the
development of the art of writing; the
different styles of pcnmanship which
prevailed in different periods; the vari-
Gus materials used; tho peculiarities
OF Roman and medieval scribes. He
gives some hints which should prove
useful to any one who wishes to study
and decipher these old manuscripts in
their original forms.
One of the most interesting chapters
in the book deals with famous literary
forgeries. Forgery of ancient docu-
ments is, in certain sense, a high
class form of crime. 1t requires at
once notable audacity, exhaustive
scholarship and considerable manual
dexterity. Mr.. MADAM outlines several
outstanding incidents in the career of
Constantine Simonides, a Greek ad.

most eminent English and German
With his spurious classical doc

a Really Successful Book

The eloquent appeal Of DR.. Grenfelps
A Labrador Doctor is shown not only
by the fact that the book, which was
published only year ago, is now in
its sixth edition, but by the generosity
of many OF its readers. Lately a lady
of the Middle West, of whom DR.. Gren-
fell had never heard before, sent a
check for $4,000, on completing the
reading of his autobiography, to carry
on the good work he described.

making his rounds as country
DOCTOR talking to the peasants and
villagers as he treated their maladies
observing everything with ceaseless
ana kindly attention, finding every-
where the material for his tales.
In protest against the "happy end
ing which is the bane Of all honest
authors and critics, some novelists are
inclined to 60 to the other extreme and
INSIST that all their endings be un-
happy. Chekhoy does not succumb to
thls temptation. He knows that things
are no more certain to come out for
the worst than to come out for the
best.
Range of Stories Wide
The range of his stories is wide. He
fs not bound to any particular type of
experience; he is not obsessed with
any exclusive preoccupation. "The
School Mistress" is the story of a
woman tortured and almost broken bv
a starved, cramped existence, seeking
momentary relief in a vision of mythi-
cal happiness after the Theater~ is
charming sketch of 8 girl in a. mood
OF romantic ecstasy. "The Cattle
Dealers" depicts the many difficulties
of transporting livestock on a Russian
train. Sorrow" is a bleak realistic
sketch, probably suggested by an
actual experience Of the authors as a
country doctor.
All the stories are cross sections Of
fusslan life, depicted with patient
analytical skill. But, although their
background is uniformly Russian. their
appeal is universal, for they possess
the tlmeless and international qualities
of truth and beauty. Chekhov is far
mere than painter of scenes from
Russian life; he is one Of the prea;
story tellers of all countries and all
ages.

TIE END OF THE WORLD. by Joseph
Mecabe Published by Il. Z. Dutton &
Co.
ME end of the world in the past
has been largely matter of
religious speculation. Some Of
The early Christians interpreted certain
passages of the New Testament as def
mite prophecies of the speedy second
coming of Christ and the passing away
of the mortal universe. In the year
1000, one of The darkest periods in
European history, it was widely be-
lieved that the end of the world was at
hand.
The recent advance of science in
every field enables astronomers. physi-
cists and biologists to predict the future
fate of our globe with some, degree of
certainty Mr.. McCabe sums up the
leading scientific theories on this sub
ject in a work that will attract many
readers by it's popular, vivid style.
"Our earth" says the author, may
conceivably, like human being, come
TO an end IN one or the three general
ways. 1t may die prematurely of dis
ease, it may be cut off by violent acci-
dent, or it may pass through the slow
and chilling phases of old age into the
ligor of death"
Volcanos and earthquakes are symp-
toms of the earth's disease. Our globe
is q boiling, molten mass of matter
bound within shell Of hard rock. The
tremendous energy of its terrifically
hot interior occasionally bursts through
the protecting shell, and the result is
an earthquake or a volcanic eruption.
Mr.. McCabe is inclined to discount the
possibilities of disaster inherent in the
physical constitution of the globe. The
earth is gradually cooling, and the

The Final Battle for life

"One is tempted to imagine this race
of supermen, of some millions of wears
hence, grimly confronting the issue of
extinction. Probably long before that
time science will have perfectly mas
tered the problem Of the suns heat
and will be able to state precisely at
what period the radiation will sink to
& level which would normally be fatal
to the living inhabitants of the planets.
Then will begin the greatest of cosmic
events, drama that has doubtless
been played numbers of times already
on the stage of the universe-the last
stand of the wonderful microcosm
against the brute force Of the macro
cosm.
"One conceives that our supermen
will face the end philosophically. Death
Is losing its terrors. The race will
genially say, as we individuals do to-
day, that it has had a long run. But
1T will none the less make grim fight.
Life will be worth living, for every
body, long before that consummation
is III sight. The lowering demon of
cold and darkness will be combated by
scientific means of which we have not
the germ of conception. Flammarion
has imagined the last men lived in
gloritied glasshouses, conserving tha
pale warmth Of the dying sun. Mr..
Wells pat his men in the moon under
ground, with luminous streams. These
are vague ideas Of what might do a
hundred years hence, not four million,
or fourteen million years. 1t is abso-
iutely useless to conjeeture."
Men of sensitive and scientific minds
ave been driven to extreme pessimism
ny this stern certainty that the human
race cannot escape ultimate extinction
by the operation of irresistible natural
laws. One of Arthur Balfour's friends
explained his impassivity by observ-
ing:
Arthur knows there has been an ice
age, and that there will be an ice age
again"
And Henry Adams brooded much
over the prospect of world made
desolate by cold, as is revealed in his
book, The Degradation of the Demo
cratic Dogma. Yet the outlook for
our world does not seem altogether
dark, Compared with the five or ten
million years OF life assigned to us,
the five thousand years of mans his
torical existence are but as a moment
I in day. The amazing scientific ad-
vance of the last century is only q
faint indication of what future gener-
ations may accomplish, especially If
wars and other exhibitions of collec-
tive stupidity can be eliminated.
Tho average reader will scarcely be
unduly worried by the problems which
may confront his descendants several
million years hence. And he will GER
tainly find both enjoyment and in.
struction in Mr.. McCabe's simple pres.
entation Of some of the most fasci.
mating conclusions of science.

On the Trail of Celtic Gloom
Amy Murray Goes to Father Aliens Island
on Fruitless Quest

FATHER ALIENS ISLAND. BY Amy
Murray. Published by Hsrcourt. Brace
g. Howe.
A SUSCEPTIBILITY to the CLAM
~ our OF Fionn Macleod and
w. B. Yeats led Amy Murray
to attempt to track down FOR her
self the authentic Celtic gloom, of
which they have given so much
poetic assurance. She stalked it to the
furthest Hebrides, to the northernmost
island of Eriskay, and the parish Of
Father Aliens Island Is the outcome
Of the search, Here on this wind
swept island she found tragic songs
in plenty, primitive Gaelic legends
which are rents in the curtain between
the conscious and the unconscious, the
amazing expressions of a fisher folk
who take shelter from the menace
which the sea holds continually before
them in fancies of an extraordinary
wayward beauty.
She found all this-but the Celtic
gloom she did not find. 1t is only an
outsider coming fresh upon these out
pourings who perceives their tragic
Those who sing and tell

chances of violent internal explosion
are now smaller than they were in
previous epochs of it's existence.
The author is equally reassuring
about the menace of destruction through
collision with some other planet. BY
describing the loose and fragile ma
teriais of which comets tail is com
posed he dispels the mythical fear that
cur world may be destroyed, or even
seriously damaged, by contact with
rowing comet. He also invokes as
Economical science to prove that col-
lision with another planet is, if not
impossible, extremely unlikely.
The real cause of the death Of the
world is to be found in the slow but
inevitable dying of the sun The
sources of its heat energy are not in
exhaustible, and sooner or later they
will be used up. Then life will be-
come impossible in world deprived of
light and plunged into the extreme cold
of space.
There is no terrifying imminence
about this doom Of our planet The
lowest estimate of the duration of the
future efficiency of the sun as a heat
giver is four million years. Other sci
entists believe that life will endure for
ten million years, or even more. The
evolution Of the human race after such
countless centuries of mental end
physical progress can scarcely be en-
visaged even by the most daring pro-
phetic imagination, No doubt the sp~
preaching catastrophe will be accurate
ly foreseen and fought by scientific
weapons that are now undreamed Of.
Mr. McCabe believes that our race will
die fighting to the last ditch. So he

Stockholders Vote to Increase
Creamery Stock to $4,000.

A meeting of the stockholders of the
Forest County Cooperative Dairy Co
was held at the town hail last Saturday
afternoon and twenty three of the
thirty-seven stockholders were present.
The purpose of the meeting was to dis
cuss and vote on the proposition of in
creasing the capitol stock to $6, 900.
The company is incorporated for
So, 600 and as the value of the property
and building is over Sc, 900 it was deem
ed advisable in increase the stock in
order to obtain larger working fund.
The proposition was carried by unani-
nous vote.
All of the present stock has been
sold and it is planned to sell part of the
new stock issue to farmers at Carter.
Townsend, Lakewood, Padus, Black
well and Laona.
If the local creamery received the
