 As regards the appearalce of the au- thor of this brilliant series of letters
 it is only necessary to quote sor,e passages from the Study" with which the distinguished author Henri Taine prefaces these Letters to an Inc 1g- nita." He writes: T frequently met Merimee in society, a tall, erect, pale man, who, excepting his smile, had very much the appearance of an Eng lishman; at least he possessed that cold, distant air that in advance Le- pels all familiarity"
 Merimee studied and wrote as an amateur, passing from one subject to another as fancy or occasion prompted, giving himself up to no science and using his talent for the illustration cf no theory. He possessed a remarala ole lingual gift and acquired language up to ripe age, becoming 8 philologist to- ward the end of his life. He traveled frequently in all parts of Europe, study ing the manners not only of good com pany, but of bad.

Famous Literary Mysteries
MERIDmE,s "INcoGNIrAF"

Among the most interesting of the literary letters of the" world are those of Prosper Merimee, the French writa.'. These letters were written between the years 1842 and 1870, and it has always been a mystery as to whom they were addressed, and who was "incognita, whose name they bore.
 As regards the identity of "Inceglta," and the manner in which. the publication of these letters was received in Paris, it is enough to quote the opening para graphs from a paper suggested by them which appeared in, the London Quarterly Review for January, 1874. The writer says: "No literary event since the war has excited anything like such a, sensa- tion in Paris as the publication of the "Lettres a une lnconnue."
 Even politics became a second con- sideration for the hour, and Academicl- ans or Deputies of opposite parties might be seen eagerly accosting each other in the chamber or the street to inquire who this fascinating and perpleNing nn- known could be.
 ''The statement in the Revue des Deux Mondes" that she was an Eng fish woman, moving in brilliant society was not supported by evidence and M. Blanchard, the painter from which the publishers received the manuscripts, disd
 
 ment of the inquiry, and made no sign
 Some intimate friends of %efimee rendered incredulous, by self-leve at not having been admitted to his confidence, insisted that there was no secret to tel i; their hypothesis being that the Incog- nito' was a myth and the letters a re- | nance. with which some pretty details of actual life has been interweyen 10 keep up the mystifcation;
 With the evidence before us as we write, we incline to the belief that the lady was French by birth, and during the early years of the correspondence in the position of dame de compagnle' or travelling companion to a Madame M de Be--, M It ap- pears from one of them that she inner ited fortune in 1S43, and that she had been constantly identified with a sin. gle lady residing in Paris with two nieces and a character for pendantry fastened to her on the strength of the Greek which she learned from Meri- mee."
 The mystery which surrounded the 1 letters written by Merimee, their l freshness. their epigrammatie bril- i liancy, their keen and flashing wit, the .careless, boldness with which they | dash off the portraits of the leading l men and women of the day, in English as well as in French society. make : them well worth the while of anyeue fond of such literature to read. Merimee was born in Paris in 1S3A and he died in Cannes on September | 22. :S70. The last of his letters :, his Incoenito was written on the day

INTELLIGENCE OF WOMEN

Mental tests have at last INDICATED
woman's claim to intellectual equality
with man. AS far as the average abil-
ity of the sexes is concerned, the ques-
ton has received final answer, Lewis
Madison thurman declares in the
Worlds Work. Among psychologists
the issue is as dead as the ancient
feud as to the shape of the earth. Two
questions, however, have not yet been
satisfactorily answered.: l. Granted
that women are the equals of men
in general intelligence, are there
nevertheless sex differences in special
intellectual functions or in emotional
and volitional traits? 2. Granted that
the average intelligence of the sexes
is about the same, is it true as some
believe, that the variability of the
male is greater? If so, this would
fully account for the higher incidence
OF genius among men. On the whole
the~evidence available to date rather
favors the view. At the same time we
cannot be sure that the apparent in
frequency of, genius among women
may not be accounted for by lack of
opportunity or by certain weakness
of the woman's competitive instinct
or ''will to power"

I cannot help but feel that it is time
for musicians to call a halt upon the
present unhealthy and over-rapid adj
vance in harmony and find ways of
turning to new and effective use the
discoveries already made, writes David
Stanley Smith in the Yale Review.
Intricacy must be abandoned in favor
Of clarity and free expression. The
composer is being assaulted by the
temptation to elaborate to an absurd
degree-a temptation gripping as in
no other art, for no art is capable of
such battling intricacy as music. 1t is
not the public only that is fooled into
reverence for the composer when 1t
is invited to look upon the page total
ly black with notes and is told of the
large number of extra and UNUSUAL in
struments used in the score. The COM
posers themselves are fooled. They
believe in the policy of terror. They
must be modern at all costs. The
last two decades record remarkable
progress in the use of dissonance
But the progress of musical art has
been lopsided. Composers are still un-
aware of the opening for development
offered by melody.

There are fewer emperors by at
least four than there used to be prior
to the outbreak of the great war.
Their number has dwindled chiefly be-
cause they have not lived up to the
origin of their name. We owe the
word emperor" to the old Romans.
These remarkable people applied the
name "imperator" to the commander
of an army, who consequently bore
the Emporium" or command. In those
days the command of an army went
by ability. In the course of the CEN
turtles the comman4 of an army and
consequently Of a state ceased to i'm
ply ability, and was conferred not by
a victorious army in the field, who
raised successful chief on their
shields, but by birth. And the in
creasing lack of ability contributed
strongly to the elimination of emper-
ors since 1914, says the Milwaukee
Sentinel. But there is still an en-
peror on his way to oblivion.

GET in THE. GEAR

What makes the cook smash dishes,
even when she is not angry. and what
causes a factory hand to unintention-
ally damage production, has been puz-
zled out by experts of the National
Institute of Industrial Psychology.
Pieces Of mental grit get into human
machinery and play hob. A large
amount of breakage is due to mental
irritation which is largely result of
fatigue, says Science Service. The
worker who is not tired has sufficient
energy to use in checking his irrita-
bility; the worker who has been per-
forming mechanical motions all day
shows his boredom by crashing some
thing to the floor. Breakages become
epidemic at times, the British experts
have found. Where groups of work
ers are engaged in handling the same
material, excitement, fuster, hurry,
or irritation in one section quickly
spreads to another. Where there is a
regular flow Of material with rush
periods it is found that both the ex-
citement of the rush and the reaction
o: the slack time damage efficiency
and incidentally damage the things
that are being handled. BY introduce
ing steady flow of material there is
a noticeable rise in efficiency.

Many who use the familiar Broad
way in New York are ignorant Of the
fact that this highway follows almost
exactly an Indian path, whose some
what picturesque name was Week
quaesgwek. Recent discoveries have
shown, however, that the upper Sec
ton of this famous street has been in
practically continuous use for centu-
ries. 1t is known that the Indians
had natural genius for path-fndlng,
and in this instance it was unusually
exempified, because when modern
engineers started to turn the original
narrow pathway into a roadway, and
later into a paved street with tracks
and subways, the line Of the original
Indian trail was still preserved as
being the best available. To such an
extent is this the case, in fact, that,
were the modern pavements to be re-
moved, remains of the original path
could still be found.
