Jhe study of tne men and women in t mid-Western town where the Lie of the book is laid shows us Bthful ambition shrinking from the Ljcl to the mouse. The process is jpieted with pitiless accuracy. We [e introduced to the sharp classâ€" junctions, the noisy crowd of those iith erroneous ideas about the time [d place to use toothpicks; and the jv to hold a fork," and the pervas- » dialectâ€"a speech that shrieks of lorance and good-nature. German spy and a priestess of a |w religious cult give color to the rture. The conventional story of te. marriage, and family life is well Id, though with a grim and sordid fckground. It would be all crass ^terialism, answering perfectly Mrs. Jll's definition of realism as "the.

The war car- ries both women to France. Gora is always a little vague beside the im- pulsive, achieving Alexina. It is not surprising to the reader, that though Gora nursed the wounded hero, it is to Alexina that he turns on his re- covery.

The novel has many pages of entertaining and brilliant writing, and some keen analysis of human weakness and tolly. The outline of history, being a plain history of life and mankind, by H. G. Wells. This is an ambitious book, both in ambition and execution. It is a bold thing to conceive the world's history from primal chaos to 1920 and after and it is even bolder to assume that this can be compassed by a brilliant novelist rather than by the tried his- torian . . . Those who know consider- able history will profit by its read- ing; those who know little will have much to learn when they have fin- ished it. It should be neither one's first nor one's last book on the sub- ,eft,i D,ec,ded,y interesting as a whole, the work has sweep and vivid- ^wws-rather than flow. The judicious reader will get much joy from the pungent footnotes, the last refuge of the scholars who pulOiri^JWells' coat-tail as he races through the res. Here a running fight is waged over such issues as the place of conscience in the Puritan revolution and the value of classical education as seen in Gladstone, while at times the barriers of small type are broken and the upper a"r witnesses such a •attle royal as that between the auth- or and Sir Gilbert Murray over the comparative civilization of the anci- ent Athenians and a music-hall mob. Sir Gilbert also finds the text "too dogmatic about Helen of Troy". But then, Mr. Wells has always been rather dogmatic about his Helens! PRACTICAL DEMONSTRATION OF A NEW LIGHTING SYSTEM A. M.
