The Scarlet Empire, by David M. Tarry
Illustrations In color by Hermann C. Wail.
The Bobbs-Mcrrill Company. Indianapolis.
Ind. 1.50.
It was with marked surprise that the
literary world beheld David M. Parry,
the president of the National Association
of Manufacturers, a man who Is known
to be the sworn foe of unionism, emerge
as the writer of a .powerfully drawn novel
In which socialism is ridiculed until not
one vestige of It remains. The title of
""this highly sensational book might irell
be called. "The Social Democracy, a
Novel of Ridicule."
"VVe are accustomed In these latter days
to think of socialism as a condition when
those of us who don't have money will
share alike with the wealthy, when we
.shall all be brothers and pluck fruit from
socialistic trees growing on sidewalks. In
Ehort. a golden time, when if the labor to
pluck the fruit should exhaust us, the
state would gladly provide assistance in
placing the aforesaid fruit in our mouths
to save us unnecessary exertion.
Mr. Parry has written a strong novel
for strong people his message is not one
for babes. So strong Is his dramatic in
stinct, atr times that he fairly grips the
reader" in willing thraldom. His de
scriptive", imaginative style of writing is
a surprise because of Its uniform excel
lence. Now and then his plot is crudely
woven because he is not an experienced
novelist, but in imagery and brilliant
coloring he works up tho story to a most
tremendous Interest-compelling finish
with torepdo-llke effect. His style seems
patterned after the writings of Jules
Verne and Edward Bellamy. Indeed, as
may be supposed. "The Scarlet Empire"
Is a counterblast to "Looking Backward,"
and' in a measure may be as epoch-making.
It is what is known as a remark
able book one that will be talked about
because It is uncommon and will be an
other feather in tho cap of its enterpris
ing publishers who Issue many live
books.
What is the story? It opens at no
given time off the shore of Coney Isl
and when the hero. Cyrus J. Brown, then
a starving socialist, believing in the doc
trine that no one should have more of
this world's goods than another, attempt
ed suicide by Jumping Into the Atlantic
Ocean. After experiencing a dreamy
sensation ho again awoke to life, find
ing himself stretched on a slab of rock
and gazing at a fish-llko creature that
stood leaning over him and holding in
Its finny arm a knife. In short. Brown
h?rE3?i ? J? the bottom of the 8Ca Jo the
alr-tlght kingdom of Atlantis, then ruled
as an absolute social democracy where
tverybody wa8 supposed to have equal
rights and where money was of no value
whatever.
Though the people of Atlantis did not
know It. they were really governed by a
edJbureaucracy. Their kingdom was
enclosed In an Immense crystal dome, the
light was supplied by radium, pure love
between man and woman was unknown,
the state compelled mismated couples to
',arJ"!, f.r tJ,rco years' whether they
wished it or not, and where labor unlon-
LR.nA. hleved a filing triumph by
cutting the working day from eight to
six and ultimately to five hours per day.
Persistent criminals and traitors to -u-lantis
were not shot or hanged in ortho
flox fashion, but were cast through a
series of folding doors Into tho sea, there
to be devoured at leisure by a giant sea
rerpent called the kraken. Tho people
had long forgotten tho use of gunpow
"rfra,nd flrearms. and had a limited
H. dlnfrarm7 wh0 wer8 R"aed with
Z tickets. The policemen,
and there must have been over 1.000.000
were a EPecIes of walking dele-Kates-they
appear In the book as ln
.spectors. A sample menu In this strange
KhreddedSeaweed Biscuit

Lllanas (Seagreens).
Bolkaa (Atlontlan Potatoes).
Macs (Bread).
Dopum (Atlantian Coffee).
Of course. Brown meets his destiny in
the shape of a young woman, who is
Pretty, persecuted, friendless and whoso
name is Astraea. The state commanded
Brown to marry a toothless hag, and be
cause ha refused, trouble began. It
should bo explained that the people of
Atlantis wero compelled by law to wear
scarlet in season and out of season-hence
the term "The Scarlet Empire." The
strongest picture in the book is that de
tailed in tho 38th chapter, where the story
tells of 1.000.000 people in scarlet, seated
In one vast amphitheater, and gleefully
looking at the agonies of helpless
wretches being eaten by the sea serpent.
Kmc is the picture:
The amphitheater ttss bow silent aa the
tomb, co lutein e. was the 1st ere Jt- The exe
cutioner la black seized the victim la white
and apparently hurled him Into the sea. The
white figure fell heed-rtrst come SO feet aad
then lU trmi frantically beat the water.
At this instant the monster appeared and a
huge taatacle reached for the struggling vic
tim and grasped it. I raj ipell-bbund. -with
horror. There was a swaying motion of the
gigantic ana and the body la iu grsjQ was
lashed rapidly throsgh the water, first one
war aad then the other. Then same a leaser
wiag, the bright spot abet through the tea
aac la a twinkling disappeared, swallowed
br tke yaw-itsr snec--the -areaefal seas
was Over. The assemblage had been wrought
up to tbe highest pitch of excitement and
now that the tension was relieved, it yelled
like a million demons.
By degrees. Brown and another con
spirator proved to their own satisfaction
that the people of Atlantis wero slaws
ground by the heel of 'a cruel despotism,
and that in the social upheaval, religion
and soul-life wercnoL The conspirators,
despairing of reforming conditions in At
lantis, secretly manufactured gunpowder,
placed a quantity of the exposlve under
a gigantic monument erected to tho Fed
eration of Labor of Atlantis, and made
ready for a sea voyage a sunken submar
ine vessel which had conveniently been
found at the bottom of the sea near the
crystal kingdom.
It was a grand moment when Brown
placed Astraea and his two men friends
In the submarine, nd, revolver in hand,
shot at tbe howling mob that strove to
kill him. Upward shot the submarine un
til the quartet found themselves sailing
directly over the crystal dome showing
the amphitheater in a blaze of light,
crowded with people. Just then the sea
serpent attacked the submarine, and in
firing a torpedo at the monster. Brown
sent tho agent ofHdestmction through tho
crystal globe. Through tho smashed
opening tho waters of tho ocean rushed
In, and the people of Atlantis perished
like drowning cats In a rain barrel.
Only a dream.
Mr. Parry's book Is his prophecy of the
doom that awaits the Socialists' theory of
equality.
The Jewish Encyclopedia, volume XII and
conclusion. Prepared "by more than 000
scholars and specialists, under the direc
tion of an editorial board. Illustrated.
Funk & "VYagnals Co.. New Torlc City.
With a wealth of scholarship repre
senting not only tho Jewish scholarship
of the world but the most scholarly dr
.cles of the Christian church without re
gard to sectionalism, this great literary
and patriotic undertaking, "Tho Jewish
Encyclopedia," is at length completed,
and Dr. Isidore Singer, the projector and
managing editor, and his ablo corps of
assistants, are entitled to warm congrat
ulations. Tho present volume begins with
"Talmud" and ends with "ZwelfeL"
Think of It! In the entire production
of this encyclopedia, no less than 1G.G06
general articles wero written, which
treated more than 150.000 subsidiary sub
jects. To do this, 9.630.211. words were
penned, of which E,1GS,957 wero found ac
ceptable and approved. To furnish this
vast amount of matter, about 75.000 sep
arate works were consulted, excluding the
biblical, talmudlc and apocryphal books
and their subdivisions. Tho rate at
which tho volumes were produced was
nearly lour a "year, U volumes having
been issued between February, 1302, and
December 29, 1305. Each volume exceeds
TOO pages in tho aggregate, so that more
than S.400 pages of typo wero set, and
these were read in galley proof, pago
proof, and plate proof by more than 0
persons. Tho composition of tho en
cyclopedia was done by typesetting ma
chines, whose operators each "played"
as many as 28,000 cms per day quite a
notable feat when tho technical charac
ter of tho work is considered and when
it is borne In mind that words from as
many as seven to ten languages were In
almost constant use. The presses on
which this work was printed wero of the
cylinder type, and four of them were oc
cupied for 30 days in printing a single
volume.
On the completion of this work tbe most
captious of critics cannot but admit that
tho Funk & Wag-nails Company has
"mado good" Its promise. But the task
it undertook was by no means an easy
one, and tho hardest part of St must
have been tho obtaining of harmonious
effort from 605 collaborators of more
than 20 different nationalities. Especial
ly difficult must have been the task when
one bears in mind the national antipa
thies of tho Jews of German descent
toward thlr brethren of Russian de
scent. The books must be invaluable to ecry
Jew as well as non-Jewish scholar. Tho
former, especially. If ho still cherishes
his religion and wishes to transmit It to
his children will treasure in his house
1 a work which will not only keep up the
' ImnirlailM V. TIVI. . TT.V iu
wwvub. wi m siuic, ui xiearsw liter
ature and of Jewish history among his
family, but that will also strengthen their
religious feeling by presenting to tho
mind thousands of Illustrations and pic
tures describing tho quaint religious
scenes of ills ancestors In the old coun
try. Probably no other encyclopedia In
existence covers the ground so com
pletely as this ese.

James Abbott McNeil "Whistler, born at
Lowell, Mass., July 1L 1S3I. and died In
England. July 17, IMS.
Mr. Macfall writes with delightful
charm and frankness, and where ocea-
won warrants It does not spare his -subject.
There is not a dull page in the
book a picture seems to be painted that
ever allures. The book starts this way:
"In the Gospel of St. Patrick to the Irish
It Is written: 'Whensoever you shall see
a head, for the love of . hit It. " It
may be explained that Whistler was pos
sessed of Anglo-Irish forefathers.
"Whistler's flirt rebus was his first high
auecuB." -writes Msrftll. "It Is been wittily
raid of Whlitler that should be be denied en
trance to heaven, he was sot of the mean
spirits that would sro lower down ha would
net up a splendid beavea of his own opposll
to Peter's gate, and the trouble would be
that all the beet people would go there.
"Whistler painted his picture so that the ob
ject appeared bathed la the same depth of
atmoschere within the frame, a the object
was bitted 'In from the eye. 2a doing co, he
set himself the most difficult task In mint
ing; and his trtnaaph' wast coaplet. Cosnaeso
lng on a neutral gray ground, he sketched la
his echeme In black aa a decorative whole.
and thenceforth painted orer Jth whole can
vas at every painting, to that at each stage
tne pietare was advanced aa a complete whole
up to that tage. He never painted In patches.
He Tequlred many sittings. He held truly
that It Is the province of art to Interpret
not to Imitate.
"At the opening of the Grosveaor gallery
Whistler showed his "Irving a Philip H of
Spain' and a number of 'Nocturnes." Rufcln.
who was then clouding the National Intellect,
wrote at to these pictures as follows: 'For
Mr. "Whistler's own scJce, so leas than for
the srotectlon of the psrehaser. Sir Cosils
Lindsay ought sot to hare admitted works
Into the gallery In which tha Ul-eduoated con
ceit of the artlet so nearly approached the
aspect of willful Imposture. I have seen and
heard much of Cockney Impudence before sow.
but sever expected to hear a coxcomb aak 300
guineas for In ring a pot of paint In the
public's faoe.
"It was exactly In his coaf csios of art with
beactv that Whistler fell abort of the vast
seBsea. But at least one of the greater sase
was given to him In abundance the aesae of
mystery. He sever -sucked ideas dry. HIa
splendid Instinct told him that suggestion waa
the soul of craftsmanship, and he -sever over
stated the details of life. Out of the mystlo
twilight he caught the haunting aesae of ita
half revelation and Its eluslreseas with an ex
quisite emotional use of color; and la seeing
he caught a glimpse of the hem of the gar
meat of God."
Enigmas ef Psychical Research, by Professor
James H. Hyslop. SL&O. Herbert T.
Turner & Co.. Boston. Mass.
To those who wish to keep well in
formed as to the foremost movements of
the day in relation to such subjects as
psychical phenomena, crystal gaxing, tel
epathy, dreams, apparitions, premonitions,
clairvoyance, acdiumlstlc revelations,
etc. this book of 427 pages, and written
from a scientific basis, will prove of un
doubted Interest. Tbe author, who waa
formerly professor of ethics and logic n
Columbia University, has illustrated his
subject with many examples taken from
cases carefully investigated by scientific
men, composing the Council of the So
ciety for Psychical Research. The pres
entation of the clearly stated facts, like
tho merciless, stern speech of a. Judge
to a Jury, will doubtless have a multi
tude of readers, and taken altogether, the
book is raoet Important in its special
branch of teaching and literature. Al
though, If Professor Hyslop had written
his view of the case say less than SCO
years ago he would have perished as a
teacher of witchcraft. His conclusions
are those of a trained investigator.
Still, the opinions here advanced, as for
Instance, with respect to the value of re
ligion as a living reality affecting; men's
lives In lifting them up to tho spiritual,
win have many doughty opponents.
"The great religious forces of the past dr.
lltzatloa are dissolving Into polite forms and
rituals, and the passionate Interest of men
Is turning either to c!ace or to Illusion
and folly for guidance. writes Professor
Hyslop. "Science has obtained the mantle
and heritage of Tellgton for the education
and direction of human belief -and the soon
r It takes op Its duties In that field the
more Important Its message to mas. The
church haa had a fatal genius for allying
Itself with decadent causes. It took up a
violent opposition to Coperslcaa astronomy
and lost. It regarded Newtonian gravita
tion ft atheelstlc and had finally to accept
It. It lost the battle ahost the six days
creation, waged with theology. It attached
Tarwlnlanlsm and SpeBcerlan evolution with
more virulence than ever, and accepted peace
with It aa the only alternative to annihila
tion. It trjed to save the Inerrancy of the
Old Testament narratives aad had to sur
render to the higher criticism. 1 The
ministry does not know what cre&.Mt 1
rafe to believe cr assert, and the churches
hare to become social clubs sad talk about
the poor as as excuse for aa existence that,
to far aa social efficiency u concerned, can
as well he supplied by llleratcre and art."
Professor HyaJop notwithstanding, the
majority of sane thinkers thank good
nessdo not believe In ghosts or appari
tions, unless on occastou when these
thinkers visions are j-sterlally assisted
by the xnasnifylnc la&ruence of the Jnlce
ef the grape, with alcohol adeVsd ad lib.
