MOITDAT, APRIL. 5 zzzLITERARY NO T E S^z By ELLA BUTLER ARGO “The Conquest of the Air.” One of the most suggestive an nouncements of the present book sea son is that of Professor A. Lawrence Rotch’s “The Conquest of the Air.”, which Moffat, Yard and Company will publish as s«Ln as possible. The au thor is the professor of meteorology ! at Harvard and director of the Blue Hfir meteorological observatory, and is one, of the highest authorities in the world on the subject. The book considers the sensational achieve ments of the last year in relation to the long history of past failures, and discusses some of the future's .possi bilities. Its particular purpose Is to square the reader with progress in a department in which much will be do ing during the next decade. The Macmillan List for the Week. On the list of the Macmillaan com pany for this week are: "Greek Ar chtiecture,” by Professor Allan Mar quand; 1 ‘'The Story of the Great Lakes.” by Professor Edward Chan ning and Miss Marion Lansing; "Mod ern Thought and the Crisis in Be lief," by Professor Robert M. Wen ley; "Walt Whitman,” by Prosessor George Rice Carpenter in the English Men of Letters Uand * .e fourth volume of Bailey’s “Cyclopedia of Ag riculture,” which completes this ex haustive work on the farm and its problems. Anne Warner’s New Character Cre ation. Anne Warner, whose greatest fic tional success is “The Rejuvenation of Aunt Mary”-—now in its twelfth printing—has just sent her Boston publishers, from her home in Ger many, the last of the proofs of her new story, “In a Mysterious Way.” This new book has a serious side, dealing with love and sacrifice, but it also teems with its author’s orig inal humor, and in Mrs. Ray, the village postmistress, Anne Warner is said to have produced her most deli cious character creation. "In a Mys terious Way” will be published by Little, Brown and company, April 17. Mrs, Hale and Dickens’ Grand daughter. Louise Glosser Hale dictated "The Actress," her now Harper novel, to a delightful English girl who worked in the typewriting office of Charles Dick ens’ granddaughter. "Imagine,” says Mrs. Hale, "the granddaughter of Charles Dickens taking in any effort of Mine! I found her a restraining influence when I came to speak of English conditions, for'we Americans are apt to exaggerate British faults; and wheneygf I saw anything among my notes that I thought would make her ‘hopping mad,’ I adroitly changed it, or, at least, remoulded my thought more gently. We used to stop at 4.30 and have tea, Miss bringing it in herself and stopping to chat a moment. She is a bright little bird of a woman, and might well have stepped out of the covers of the great novelist’s books.” "Art in Great Britain and Ireland.” "Art in Great Britain and' Ireland,” by Sir Walter Armstrong, will be pub lished this month. This important and attractive book, which is mod elled on Paul Reinach’s "Apollo,” tells the story of art of every kind in Great Britain and Ireland in a clear, astonishingly compact and at the s;fme time readable wav. Sir Walter Armstrong is the dir ;• of the Dub lin Museum at Dublin ■ nd the leading art critic of Great Britain today. The book is profusely illustrated and very convenient in size and form. Draamtized Novels. It is frequently said that the drama tized novel is out of fashion. Noth ing could be more false. There never has been a time when so many play wrights turnef. to fiction for sugges tions and foundations.? Stage produc tions of no less than three recent nov els of the Bobbs-Merrill company are now under way, and playmakers are at work on four others. It well estab lished that Shakespeare took the plots of "As You Like It," "Measure for Measure,” “A Winter's Tale,” and other plays, from novels. Why should the dramatist of the present hesitate to do so? With the April Magazines What's in McClure’s. A striking feature of the April num her of McClure's Magazine *is the third of George F. Parker's papers on Grover Cleveland, which contains the ex-president’s opinions of some of his great contemporaries—J. pierpont Morgan, Theodore Roosevelt, James ,T, Hill, Senator Foraker and others. Burton J. Hendricks contributes an interesting article on the discovery of a serum at the Rockefeller Insti tute, which has reduced the mortality of spinal meningitis from seventy-five per cent to twenty-five per cent; Mrs. Harris R. Childs writes of the picturesque ivory trade Rudolph Cronau tells about the wan- Heart Failure Of the many deaths from heart failure very few realize in advance the seriousness of their condition. When the heart shows a weakness, such as palpitation, short breath, pain in chest and in side, it needs attention just as much as other organs do when they fail to do their work well. For any condition of heart trouble you can rely on Dr. Miles’ Heart Remedy. It will .strengthen and regulate the heart adVion, and enable it to over come the strain upon its weakened conditian. “I had heart trouble My ton In duced me to trv Dr. Miles' Hesrt Rem edy. 1 took In all four bottles for a complete cure' M \f.

If not, »eur drusulst will return your money. ton waste of our natural resources, and Guglieimo Ferrero, the great Ital ian historiau. who came to this conn try at the invitation of President Roosevelt, contributes a remarkable “paper on Nero and the Christian per secution. The number also contains another instalment of Mrs. Ward’s great novel. “Marriage a la Mode.” and four short stories; "Ourself and Woman,” by Inez Thompson; "The Dwellers” by E. Nesbit; “The Waters of Thunder,” by Edmund Candler, and “The Brake-Beamer.” by Francis Lynde. The Bohemian. The Bohemian Magazine for April is a number which will appeal to all classes of readers. The special arti cles include “The New Chinatown in San Francisco” in which is told what has been done by San Francisco's Chinese population toward rebuilding the quarters demolished in the earth quake. That the author is Jerome A. Hart is a sufficient guarantee of its interest. The numerous illustrations are from photographs, George Jean Nathan contributes an article on the pertinent question, “Are We a Theat rical Suburb?” and Lula Merrick teils “What the Models Think of Artists.” There is also a railroad article on "The Iron Horse Abroad.” Together with 10 entertaining short stories of unusual merit, and the usual snappy department of humor, this number is one of universal inter ' est. The Red Book, Mrs. Raymond Patterson, wife of the best known of all famous Wash ington correspondents , has a most charming childhood story entitled: “The Daughter of the Regiment” in The Red Book Magazine for April. The Outing Magazine for April The leading feature in the Outing Magazine for April is an article enti tled. "Building a Railroad and Re- j building” by Edward Hungerford. An j interesting travel story is that by Mr. | Dillon Wallace, who begins in the April number the first of a series which tells of his travels in Westeue Mexico. It is entieled “Beyond The j Mexican Sierras,” Mr. Dan Beard contributes some reminiscences enti tled “True Yarns and Tales of the Trail.” Mr. E. P. Powell, the horticul turist, gives some timely hints in “Everybody’s Vegetable Garden.” Mr. Herbert K. Job is represented by an article entitled “The Trick of Bird Photography” wheren he tells how the shyest of the birds may be pho tographed. The feature is illustrat ed by many photographs. “English and Scottish Shooting,” by Isaac N. Ford, is an entertaining resume of the methods of aristocratic English men in the field. There are two short stories of importance, One is entitled “Munford,” a story of railroad life, by Frank L. Packard ; the other is by Clarence E. Mulford and is entitled “Harlan’s Finish.” This is another “Hopalong Cassidy” story of rapid fire action. The April Stand. The Strand Magazine—always in teresting and original—is brimful of good things for April and contains many famous names among its fiction contributors. Excellent short stories are provided by E. Philips Oppen heim, Horley Roberts, A. C. Herbert son, the ever amusing W. W. Jacobs, and other writers. A further long instalment of Hall Caine’s “While Christ" brings 'the reader to a point where “To be Continued” Is particu larly unwelcomed. The story is the .strongest Hall Caine has yet written and it is not difficult to understand why the author regards its as the woiTc of his life. The leading article is a very live account of big-game hunting in Africa written by F. C. Selous, the veteran hunter who se lected the equipment for Colonel Roosevelt’s present expedition and who is acompanying the ex-Presidenl aA far as Mombasa. The hair-breadtli escapes, which Selous "had in the lion infested country to which Roosevelt is journeying will not, we hope, me read by Mrs. Roosevelt, who, it is said, already has some misgivings re garding her husband's approaching trip. It makes good reading never theless. Another article which will probably attract the attention of a great many people is one on “Spirit Drawings.” illustrated with -some startling pictures made, presumedly by the "unseen,” Harry Bander con cluded his amusing “Remi\lscences” Dalton writes on "Curious Hands at Bridge.” while Harry Furniss com mences an interesting series of illus trated articles dealing with "The Light Side of Finance.” The Ladies’ World. The Ladies' World for April again strikes a high note, and presents a table of contents that is remarkable for its quality. The number opens with a delightfully humorous love story by Elliott Flower, and the ef fect is increased by charming Illus trations. follows fiction by Bes sie R. Hoover, Annie Hamilton Don nell, Leona Anßtlne Sutter, Grace MacGowan Cooke and Albert Bigelow Paine. An article with the president in the South, is short, but from It the rradqr gets a really intimate view of our popular executive. The depart ments seem to cover everything of | interest to women in a most practical way, in fact, what particularly strikes the reviewer about this publication i® the total absence of what we may call space filling. The contributions are bright, sensible and to the point. A charming Easter Song adds to the at tractiveness of the number. The Anril Atlantic. "Imagination in Business," by Lorin F. Deland, which leads the table of contents of the April Atlantic, is a brilliant discussion of the possibilities of trade through the exercise of that single quality which makes a man capable of succeeding in any business. The April installment, of Gideon Welles’ Diary gives novel and inti mate details concerning the emanci pation proclamation and the cabal I against Seward, which almost disrupt- ed Lincoln s cabinet. In J. O. Fagan's railroad series the switchman-author takes up the fundamental problems of unionism and efficiency. John Bur roughs contributes an Imaginative pa per on what he calls “The ixmg Road” of evolution, and Charles M. Har vey a picturesque account of “Fur Traders as Empire Builders.” In this number appears the last of Mr. R. L. Hartt’s witty descriptions of various phases of social life in the back street, and an entertaining pa per on “The Forty Immortals” of the French academy, which comes from Mrs. Mary Bigot. Education is ad mirably represented by Professor Reinsch's "The New Education in China,” while Kelly Miller contributes a thoughtful paper on the negro prob lem. which is particularly interesting in the light of President Taft’s policy as announced in his inaugural. Among the stories in this nurnbej, it is en tertaining to notice that “The Skeleton in My Closet.” which has all- the thrill of a nightmare, must be credit ed to the genial and conservative ex secretary of the navy, John D. Long. Included also in the fiction of the number are a highly original story, entitled “Co-operative Ghosts," by Florence Converse, and “At the Case d’Orsay,” by John M. Howells, son of the distinguished novelist, who begins his own literary career with this story. No description -of the number is complete without mention of the series of capital parodies of famous poets, who are all represent ed as being filled with the inspiration of spring. Books Reviewed. The Wild Geese, by Stanley J. Wey nian. New York. Doubleday, Page & Co. Price, $1.50. The author of “Under the Red Robe” and "The Long Night” under stands, as do few writers, how to toll stirring tales in a manner to make the pulses beat to a faster measure, and his latest—and he says the last— story is no exception to the rule his sure adherence to which has long-ago become a foregone conclusion. The scene of “The Wild Geese” is., as will be understood by those who are aiquainted with historic political nomenclature—laid along the wild Irish coast in the year 1780, when might was right, and when the peo ple of the land were so embittered by the depredations of the English (hat they were all-too eager to wreak their revenge on innocent persons from whom it was felt safe to blun der and steal at will. The central characters in the story are a beauti ful Irish girl who has inherited a rich but encumbered estate, and her cousin and guardian who proceeds to look after her best interests ’ even thought it means antagonizing her to fean extent that threatens his very life.

McArthur Music House THE AUGUSTA HERALD. WAYLAID NEGRO NAS SHOT HIMSELF Clarence Uland Who Way laid Tom Latimer Was in Turn Shot By Latimer’s Companion. Roman Pope was brought to the barracks by Officer Tlnley late Sat urday night, to be held for the county officers, and Clarence Uland was car ried to the Lamar hospital with his right arm practically shot off. Pope and Uland waylaid Tom Latimer and another negro at Adam’s station, five miles out on the Savannah road Uland shot Latimer in the side and arm, but before he could get away Latimer’s companion turned and shot Uland’s arm off. Uland and 1-atimer had been engag ed in a quarrel a few days ago and Saturday night Uland laid for him. When he came by with his compan ion Uland shot him. Before he could get away Latimer's companion shot him. Pope, who was with Uland did not try to get away. Latimer was carried to his home near the scene of the shooting. A wagon was secured and Uland was brought to the hospital. Pope ac companied him, and the hospital au thorities turned him over to the po lice. Latimer’s condition is not seri ous. It will be necessary to ampu tate Uland’s arm. action that keeps the attention ever riveted upon its colorful pages, while the development of character along the most unusual lines gives a zest to the narrative that not even the most exciting episodes could engen der unaided. The climax is splendid ly worked out, and the conclusion is satisfactory. The Man in Lower Ten, by Mary Roberts Rinehart. Indianapolis. The Bobbs-Merrill Company. Price, $1.50. Those who thought “The Circular Staircase” one of the most delightful detective stories they had ever read will be more than charmed with this latest book of its richly imaginative authpr. - Miss Rinehart’s methods are noth ing if not unique. She has a way of relatling the most remarkable, and sometimes the most awe-inspiring, facts in a casual, every-day sort of matter that makes the most wildly improbable of them seem something that might happen any day and any where. Again, her strong sense of humor is always so very much in evi dence that it lends a quaintness and unexpectedness to her style as pleas ing as it is exceptional. The new story tells of a man whose engaged birth on a Pullman is taken possession of by another man, who, in a drunken stupor, cannot be made APPOINTMENTS TO VETERANS STUFF NEW ORLEANS.

When he returns to his substiture birth, he finds his clothes and bag gone, and a strange suitof clothes neatly folded there. Almost simultaneously, it is discovered that ihe man in lower ten has been murdered. Naturally, the complications increase from this on, until everybody introduced in the story is involved in a series of en grossing mysteries no single clue to which is furnished until the immedi ate approach of the highly dramatic conclusion.

SI C C NATURE’S • d.De TONIC The very groat majority of persons need a tonio in the Bpring or early Bummer. - The system undergoes a change at this season and the entire physical machinery ts disturbed. The general bodily weakness, a tired, worn-out feeling, fickle appetite, poor dlgestiou, a half sick feeling and a general ran-dowu condition of the system, show that the blood is weak or anaemic, and a blood purifying tonio is neodnd to build up the deranged system and enrich the blood. The use of S. 8. 8. at this time may save you from a long spell of sickness, and it wiil certainly preparo you for tho long, hot Summer. Many people buys put off using a tonic until the system became so weakened and dopletod it could not successfully throw off disease germs, and have paid for the neglect witli a spoil of fever, malaria or some other debilitating sickness. 8.8.8. is Nature’s ideal tonic. It la a composition of the extracts and juioes of roots, herbs and barks which science and experience have proven are best fitted for a tonic to the human system. It contains no minerals of any kind and is therefore perfeotly safe for persons of any age. 8. 8. 8. tones up the stomach and dlgestiou, rids the system of that tired, worn-out feeling, and imparts vigor and strength to every part of the body. It purities and enriches the blood, stimulates the secreting and excreting members to bettor action, quiets tho over strained nerves, and mukes one feel better in ovnry way.
