ALL MEN OF TEMPERAMENT
Great Research Specialists, as a Class, Far More Erratic Than
 Average Litterateurs.

Literary men are supposed to be like women, Varium ct mutabile Semper, and this has turned university dOns against them. I once had an argument with a very dignified but not especially literary college official, writes Freder- ici E. Pierce in the Literary Review. "Ah!" said he, You literary men are so temperamental." Then he went on to sing the praises of certain great fact research stars on his faculty. kept my tongue idle and my brain busy. Alas and alas! AS if great fact research specialists were never tenn peramental. AS if they never Whitened the hair of their deans or blackened the bile of their colleagues

WHEN FIRE SWEEPS PRAIRIE
Clustering Heat, and the Prayer for Rain Goes Up.

Hot sunlight, winds as hot, as shimmering heat which distorted ob- jects at a distance and made the sky line a dazzling, wavering ribbon of faded blue and then the dull haze of smoke which hung over the land. and, without tempering the heat, turned the sun into a huge cOppery balloon which drifted imperceptibly from the east to the west, and at evening time settled softly down upon parched hilltop and disappeared, leaving be- hind it an OminOus red glow as of hidden fires, E. NJ. Bower writes in Lonesome Land"
 When the wind blew, the touch of it scared the face, as the smoke tang as- sailed the nOstrils All the world was a weird, unnatural tint, hard to name, never to be forgotten. The far hori- zOn drew steadily closer as the days passed slowly and thickened the veil of slnDke. The distant mountain drew daily back into dimmer distance; be- came an obscure fOrmless blot against the sky and vanished completely. The horizon crOuched then upon the bluffs across the river, moved up to the line of trees along its banks, plotted them out one day and impudently estab- lished itself halfway up the cOulee.
 Time ceased to be measured accur- ate'y: events moved slowly in an Cl- real world of Sultry heat and smoke and a red sun .wading heavily through the cOp1,rr-hrOwn sky from the east to the west, and moon as red which followed meek! after.
 Men rode uneasily here and there, and when they met they talked of prairie fires and fire guards and the direction of the wind, and of the faint prospect of rain. Cattle, driven from their accustomed feeding grounds, wandered aimlessly over the still-un- burned range and lowed often in the night as they drifted before the flame heated wind.
