Edward Weems has done for
the Galveston flood of 1900
what Jim Bishop did for Amer
ica's most historic assassina-
ton, in THE Day Lincoln
Died" and Walter Lord did for
the Titantic disaster in "A
Night to Remember" and for
Pearl Harbor in DAY of In

Mr.. Weems steps easily into
this new way of recording his
toric events by transferring
the past into dramatic mar
rative form. giving it the force
of something the narrator
might have witnessed.
Other disasters, two great
wars and revolutionary
changes in the way We live
have dimmed that dreadful
week end of September 80 in
Galveston. 1t is doubtful that
many people remember. if
they ever knew, that it was,
in point of casualties. the
worst catastrophe in United
States history. AS the author
says, nobody will ever know
the complete story-how many
lives were lost. According to
the best estimate he could OBJ
tain, 5000 persisted in Calves
ton and possibly 1000 more in
other coastal areas.
We follow various families
and individuals as we see the
waters of the Gulf, driven by
hurricane winds. creep over
the city, inch by inch, foot by
foot, until Galveston Island is
flooded. Mr.. Weems. a Texas
newspaperman. now a librar-
ian at Baylor University, tells
a thrilling story.

Young Alexander Hamilton,
Fine Biographical Study

of the Constitution by New
York.
Hamilton. as the author
points out. had little local or
sectional attachment. Unlike
his contemporaries. he was not
born into a family which had
put down roots in America.
Most of his adult life revolved
around the National Govern
ment. His interest in New York
affairs was chiefly because of
their bearings on national af-
fairs.
Many label him a conser-
vative. but neglect the shad-
ings, according to Prof. Nit
chell, who seeks to supply the
shadings. Indeed. he says in
the foreword. If Hamilton
could return to the American
scene he might be listed as a
liberal and not as a conserva-
tive at all. And there is even
an intimation that Hamilton
might not be a follower of
modern republicanism.
Prof. Mitchell has produced
an extraordinarily scholarly
and thorough work. There are
200 pages of notes and bibli-
ography to 465 pages of text.
The result may not be a book
to pick up for light reading.
But it is one in which the
reader can be confident that
all of the sources have been
consulted. all of the evidence
sifted and a judicious mind
applied to the result.

TeIepatiy The Laboratory: Many laboratory expert

some real facts about teepathy One Of the soundest

Brugmans Experiment conducted by three psychologists

checkers.

their lab and installed sheet of plate glass. 1t gave
them good view of the room below, but admitted no

CLOTH He thrust his hand through a slit in the cloth
and moved his pointing finger over the surface Of
48square checkerboard which lay on table just out
side the tent
Above the experimenting psychologists looked down
through the hole and tried mentally to push" the
rowing finger towards particular square on the checker
board When the blndfolded subject felt that he had
received message he tapped his finger sharply twice,
in the square toward which he felt directed.
