Where Heroes and HerOineS
Of Fiction Come From

IT. HE average reader often stops
and puzzles his mind over the
4 following questions: Where
do authors get their charac-
tiers? How are they conceived and
developed and clothed with manners.
emotions and qualifications? Are they
evolved from real life or created out
OF full, rich imagination? Are they
partly true to actual living person.
alities and partly figures of fancy?
Are they single predominant individ-
ualities or composite form of char
actertstics, like the celebrated Tom
Sawyer of Mark Twain?
These are natural questions which
the inQuiring reader and the aspiring
young writer should like to have an
swered clearly and concisely. During
Canadian Book week" they were
submitted to a. number of Canadian
authors, among whom John Murray
Gibson was the first to reply.

alton for his personal comfort" he
wrote, he should not take his char

heroine has grown considerably older,
and in order to live up to to the de-

which the author naturally endows

that Is to say, II he is good author.
For villains go without question to
the lower regions. whereas all good
authors. as Is well known. go to

Mrs. Isabel Mackay answers:
"You ask me where get the char

The Ouivering Earth.

TT has been pointed out that, in ad-
dition TO the many tremors due to
seismic, or earthquakes, influences, which
modern delicate instruments detect,
there are certain pulsations which Seem
to have some other origin. Some Of
these are diurnal, and are probably due
to the influence Of the sun and the
weather on the ground. In wet weather
the sides and bottom Of a valley carry
a heavier load than the bounding ridges;
In dry weather the case Is reversed
