IN THE
The world-wide Interest in tho Island
of Martinique, since the terrible eruntlon
of Mount Pelee, May 8, gives particular
emphasis to the value of Lafcadlo Hearn's
valuable contribution to the world of
letters, entitled, "Two Years In the French
West Indies," published by Harper &
Brothers, New York.
Always a writer of intenso feeling and
power of descriptive work, it may be set
down as certain that in this book Mr.
Hearn has surpassed all former efforts:
perhaps, and especially so when he has
taken real flesh and blood as his theme,
and a people at that, possessed of more
warmth and Eldoradic temperament In the
abandon of their dreamy lives than any
the sun ever shown upon. Hearn tells of
this people at St. Pierre In a thrill of
ecstatic positively brilliant rhetoric. Per
haps no modern writerls his equal in com
mand of exquisite and yet withal power
ful English. Of St. Pierre he writes as
one inspired. No man has ever, no one
could surpass his telling of this aston
ishing and picturesque population. Their
origin, their all-pervading yellow color,
the never-ending and capricious display of
tint, of which, the author says, "the more
one observes these costumes, the more
one feels that only Nature could have
thought such rare comprehension of pow
ers and harmonies among colors such
knowledge of chromatic witchcrafts arfd
chromatic laws." In a closing paragraph
to an early chapter ho apostrophizes the
head dress of Mount Pelee as follows:
"This evening as I write, La Pelee Is
more heavily coiffured than is her wont.
Of purple and lilac cloud the coiffure Is
a magnificent. Madras, yellow banded by
the slnklnc sun. La Pelee, is In costume
do fete, like . a caprasse attired for a
baptism or a ball, and in her phantom tur
ban one great star glimmers for a
brooch."
And so all through the telling of this
story of tho great West Indies, Hearn Is
audacious, alliterative, alluring. Ho has
a monstrous, prodigious vocabulary, and
In that land of volcanic thunders, green
vistas and slopes his words flow In such
rythmic measure as to suggest more viv
idly whatever he alms to picture. It Is
this vividness of Hearn which captivates
and tho lover of brilliant style finds in
him tho realization of all that scintillates
.and dazzles. His Is a style that over
whelms in its amazing multitude of melt
ing cadences, while his moaning Is never
sacrificed to mere word-coloring. Ho Is
both florid and forceful, and withal the
greatest master of alliterative altitudes
ever scaled by reporter's pen.
To the student of nature, Hearn is a
revelation. He took this tour through
these vlolet-hued Islands and molded their
outlines into a great canvass, as If by a
Turner or a Church, putting his atmosphere
and ocean and green fields and mountains
and tho poetic people Into words instead
of paint. But the Image lo not lost. It
cannot fade.
Of Mount Pelee, as If himself a great
prophet, ho wrffto as ho left tho little toy
cemetery, Du Moullage, one day:
"Some day there may be a great change
In the little City of St. Pierre there may
be less money and less zeal, and less re
membrance of the lost Then from the
morn, over the bulwark, the green host
will move down unopposed, creepers will
prepare the way, dislocating the pretty
tombs, pulling away tho checkered tiling;
then will come the giants, rooting deeper,
feeling for the hearts, groping among the
bones, and all that love has hidden away
shall be (restored to Nature, absorbed Into
the rich Juicer of her verdure, revitalized
in her bursts of color, resurrected in her
upllftlngs of emerald and gold to the great
sun." CHARLES THOMAS LOGAN.

Books that help us to a more Intimate
acquaintance with the habits, traits." and
characteristics of animals are very wel

ture is a volume of spirited and well-told

known to the American public by her
popular series of animal stories now run

WORLD OF
edies and the comedies in the dally life
and experiences of dwellers in wood and
and Jungle, on plain and crag. They pre
sent much evidence that Miss Velvin has
lived very close to nature.
"Rataplan, a Rogue Elephant, and
Other Stories" Is a book of uncommon
merit, a delight to the eye as well as to
the mind. Rataplan, himself wicked and
crafty, romantic "Gean the Giraffe;" sly
and tricky "Jinks the Jackal," whose
natural tendencies could not be overcome
by kindness; "Keesa. the Adventurous
Kangaroo"; stately "Osra, the Ostrich";
"Mona. the unlucky Monkey," all the way
down the list, these touch the springs of
the Teader's sympathies, as their traits,
good and evil alike, as Judged by
human standards, are portrayed with force
and vividness.
Miss Velvin's stories ring true, and the
spirited treatment of each subject causes
her to easily take rank among the best
nature writers of the day. She Is no Imi
tator; her field is her own, and she puts
enough of human Interest Into her stories
to show that it is barbarous and cruel
to .kill, out of pure wantoness, creatures
whose Intimate life Is so absorbingly In
teresting. That children make grave blunders in
caring for their pets. Is strongly brought
out in the story of "Siccatec, the Squir
rel," and It Is also shown that these
blunders are the result' of Ignorance "as
to the requirements of their living toys.
The book Is delightful reading from
cover to cover, and typographically worthy
of tho heartiest appreciation of the most
exacting critic Mr. Verbeek's admir
able drawings, which btc full page in
form and twelve In number, have been
most artistically reproduced In color, and
are all that can be desired in the way
of Illustration. Henry Altemus Company,
DIsense in Xovels.
Apropos of the recent publication of a
life of TVllllam Black, the nQvellst, the
British Medical Journal gives some inter
esting comment on the writer's habit of
consulting medical specialists regarding
thediseases of his characters.
"He had a horror of carelessness and
scamped work; ... he never subjected
one of his characters to any abnormal
conditions without satisfying himself that
his description of those conditions was
scientifically accurate. Accordingly we do
not find In Black's novels such absurdities
as the use of the stomach-pump in the
treatment of poisoning by the hypodermic
injection of morphine, as described the
other day by the author of a story ap
pearing in a recent magazine; or 'pyemia'
classed with tho pleura, the thorax and
tho clavicle as parts of the human anato
"my, as is done In Mr. George TV. Cable's
novel, 'The Cavalier.' It Is not every
novelist, of course, who can In any diffi
culty appeal to one of tho shining lights
of medical science. But all can use rea
sonable care not to go wildly wrong.
Gustavo Flaubert, who had himself
studied medicine, took extraordinary pains
to get medical details accurate, and M.
Zola, as might be expected, laboriously
gets up his facts. Thus, when he wishes
to describe the death of Nana, from
smallpox, we find him writing to a friend
for reference to detailed descriptions of
the disease. But although his industry in
collecting 'documents' is beyond praise,
In medical matters he Is too apt to rely on
the light of nature for their Interpretation.
Hence, as in 'Lourdes,' his craving, for
'realistic' effect, unrestrained by practical
knowledge of skilled advice, makes him
draw pictures of disease which have no
counterpart in clinical or pathological
fact. In connection with this subject it
may be mentioned that not long ago an
American novelist thought himself ex
ceedingly Ill-used because his family doc
tor, o'f whom he had sought counsel as to
the right manner of disposing of one of
tho creatures of his fancy, afterward sent
him a bill for professional services. Would
the novelist admit any right on the part
of the doctor to ask him to write a short
story for nothing?"
"The Suitors of Yvonne."
"The Suitors of Yvonne," by Rafael
Sabatlnl, can never be critclsed on the
ground of lack of action. Every chapter
of It contains enough dash and spirit to
float. an ordinary tale. In its "stage set
tings" and general charactor it somewhat
resembles the stories of Stanley TVeyman,
but in originality of plot and vigorous
style it is unique.

BOOKS
CentraJ Italy, In 1S75. His childhood was
spent In Portugal, and he was educated
in tne most cosmopolitan of educational
centers, German - speaking Switzerland.
Nine years ago he settled In England, his
mother's native country, where he ap
pears to be permanently established.
Speaking and writing six modern lan
guages with equal facility, and having
friends, and relatives in four different
countries, Mr. Sabatlnl may well claim to
be a European rather than a citizen pf
any distinct nationality.
It is now four years since Mr. Sabatlnl
began to write fiction, making his first
bow to the public with short stories that
Immediately attracted attention. His suc
cess In this line prompted him to more
ambitious efforts, and his first novel, "The
Suitors of Yvonne," which was recently
published by the Putnams, more than ful
fills the promise of his earlier work.
Kipling's "Just So" Stories.
It has been a long time alnce Kipling
has published anything which 'may be
called a volume. "Kim" might be a
book after writing which tho author
could die and feel sure of future fame,
but the vast majority of readers who
ever were Interested In Kipling hope that
"Kim" may not be the last Of course,
it will not be. A volume of "Just-So
Stories" will be ready shortly, and as a
distinguishing feature many of the illus
trations will have been done by the au
thor. Besides this, there Is now published
In England a paper which Kipling has
written and called a "guide" to tho naval
review. Kipling's long experience on the
warships of the English navy makes him
competent to write of the steel fighters
which will make their peaceful parade
on review during tho Summer. In one
of tho July magazines there appears a
story by Kipling, entitled "Wireless," in
which Marconi's (progress in wireless
telegraphy is one of the themes.
This new work of Kipling his book and
short stories brings to mind the fact
that not long ago a versemaker. whose
name and fame will not weigh him down
with riches nor yet causo him to be re
membered long, wrote an attack on Kip
ling which purported to be an account
of his "passing." There are two things
equally disagreeable the belittling of a

Life of Bret Hnrte. '
An authorized life of Bret Harte is now
being prepared by T. E. Pemberton, dra
matic critic of the Birmingham (Eng.)
Post and biographer of numerous acton
Sothern, John Hare. Robertson, the
Kendalls, etc. It seems that Mr. Pem
berton was closely associated with Mr.
Harte as collaborator In several dramatic
plees, so that his selection as biographer
of Harte may have been- the author's
personal choice. It will be a matter of
regret that an American who has come
In contact with the life of the West as
Harte knew It was not chosen for the
biographical work. Notwithstanding the
fact that Harte had become thoroughly
Identified with English .manners and cus
toms, it was the early California life
which gave him material for the stories
which made the greatest success for him
Some one has suggested that Mark Twain
would have beeri Just the man for the
place. He certainly knew the life of
early California mining camps he knew
Harte In those days, he continued for
years an Intimate acquaintanceship, and
for a considerable time he was a fellow
American transplanted to English soIL
Do Pfcople of Today Care for Poetry?
An eminent French critic recently ad
vanced the contention that Tioetrv hn
had its day. The need for poetry, he
maintained, like the need for mythical
religions, no longer exists In the world
of Western civilization;, therefore there
will be no more great poets and great
poetry, only poetasters and metric drivel.
We cannot agree with the eminent critic.
His temperament, we must believe. Is fun-damentally-unpoetlc;
he Is not "moved by
a concord of sweet sounds"; his emotion Is
not Intense enough to beat Into rythm
and to require rythm for its utterance.
He is probably deluded into the belief,
also, that because his country has pro
duced no new poetic tight of any magni
tude for a number of years, it will never
again see a Hugo or a do Musset. But

If he would look back over the age3, he
would see what 'long stretches of time
have often separated great poets from
their successors, not only in his own.
but In every country. Indeed, all tho cen
turies have given the world but a few
really great poets, poets of the breed of
Homer and Shakespeare and Goethe and
Tennyson. It would not be surprising,
therefore. If our generation failed to bring
one forth; but other generations surely
will, and the great ones that arc to be
