The Conservation of Water, v John L.
Mathews. Illustrated, ja. bmall, May
nard & Co., Boston..
This book, fascinating- as a novel, was
reviewed last week, and is now re
ferred to because the half-tone at the
head of this book column faces page
246 of the publication. The picture
shows that we shall be compelled to
take similar action with the Columbia
and 'Willamette Rivers, to keep them
open to navigation and prevent the riv
er banks from falling into the water.
The picture referred to has this caption:
"A Weil-Ordered River," and a note
facing page 247 says: "Thia view of
the Rhone 4 In France), looking down
stream from the bridge at Avigon,
shows how our rivers may be made
beautiful at the same time that they
are rendered useful. This river of tre
mendous floods has been bordered by
stofle levees. Its banks revetted to pre
vent erasion. and grass planted be
tween the revetment and the levee. The
bridges are handsome structures, every
thing by the stream is permanent and
the Improvement of the channel has
led it into gentle and lovely curves."
It Is- also interesting to recall the
formation of the fellowship association,
or a corporation not-ior-proni, uy
farmers and others interested in the
reclamation of the Nelsse River, Ger
many., This river before ii was con
served by dams and strengthened by
river banks, etc.. habitually over
flowed its banks and ruined crops. It
was calculated that the cost of such
Improvements would foot up to $1,500,
000. These figures staggereff these simple
but bewildered farmers and villagers.
Part of the difficulty was met by the
agricultural and forestry departments
of the Bohemian and Austrian govern
ments, which contributed $500,000 that
did not require to be paid back, and
half aa much more which bore no in
terest. Saxony and Silesia, which suf
fered from the flood, paid $100,000
spread over ten years. The balance ot
the sum was "raised on bonds from the
banks, and a levy was made npon the
water power developed by the storage
of water, sufficient to pay the Interest
and eventually to retire the bonds,
without taxing any value which was
not created by the improvement," There
were no more floods,, and new crops
were suffered to grow in peace. This
Is an object-lesson to obviate flood
conditions on the Ohio, Missouri and
Mississippi Rivers tn our country.
Purification . of rivers, care of river
banks, utilization of water power, in
trees and the gathering of valuable,
chemical properties from waste prod
ucts in city sewage, are strongly
urged, in the new campaign to swell
the tonnage on our rivers,. so that con
sumers will not be forced to depend so
much, so far as prices are concerned, on
railroad rates. "Save the soil by rivet.
Ing the river banks." says our author.
Irrigation is explained, at length, and
It Is stated that In many parts of the
West there are rivers fed by the water
from glaciers and from melting snows,
or supplied by rainfall on distant moun
tains, rivers that flow through parched
and desolate valleys. "The Snake River
is such a stream In Idaho, and the
magnificent Columbia in Oregon and
Washington. The latter stream, clear,
greenish blue, passes for hundreds ot
miles between Irregular banks that are
desolate, yellow-gray desert, on which
no green thing appears. . No rain falls
In this region In the growing season,
and the water In the river is of no use
to the land above It,"
Further along on pages 201-202 is a
reference to pumping water from a
river as a means of Irrigation. "Along
the Columbia River, in the most barren
and desolate parts of its valley (Mr.
Mathews, we object) one sees great
waterwheels, often 40 feet In diameter,
set out from the bank so that the water
striking their lower blades continually
revolves them. Buckets attached to
the side of the wheel are filled as they
pass through the water, and at the top
of the revolution pour the water out
Into a trough from which it runs Into a
canal. IThis is but a slight elevation
30 feet or so above the river; but by
conducting the water lna flume for a
mile or more down the bank at a less
slope than that of the river. It is
brought high enough to flow over the
bench lands and irrigate them." '
Adequate mention Is given to the
Carey act, and the Umatilla Irrigation
project of taking the power from one
river to pump the water of another;
and passing reference Is made, on
page 133, to a process In Norway and
Bavaria where big towers are erected
beside powerful , waterfalls, and tn
which - cheap electricity Is obtained
from thj air and kept bottled up for
commercial uses.
Mr. Mathews' most eloquent chapter
is his 11th, where he draws an alluring
picture of the purified river and smoke
less city of the future purilled because
of sensible conservation and smoke
less because all power and heat come
by wire from the dams which make
the river navigable. We may not all
agree -with Mr. Mathews, tut 111 book

Gould. M. D. Illustrated. Two volumes,
price. IT.5U. Moffat. Yard & Co., New
York City.
' Of tender and sympathetic interest
are these memorial volumes of Ed
mund Clarence Stedman. remembered
as one of the most graceful of our
American poets of New Kngland lin
eage and instinct, and their possession
Is a treasure. One Involuntarily is put
in mind of a distinguished private
library, in looking over such a, literary
heritage yes, to an American library
they properly belong.
Stedman was. born October 8. 183J,
in Hartford, Conn., and died January
18 1908. His literary life was a. long
and brilliant one. but Its ultimate end
was lack of funds and bitterness.
These volumes, which are handsome
specimens of the bookmaker's art, are
principally filled with Stedman's cor
respondence to. such distinguished
friends as Oliver Wendell Holmes,
William Winter. Charles Dudley Warner-
Brander Matthews. Robert Louis
Stevenson. Sidney Lanier, James Whit
comb Riley, William Dean Howells, Ed
wrn Markham, John Hay, and others.
Stedman's letters display a polish and
wealth of discriminating observation
that are notable, even in such a cul
tured age as the present when educa
tion Is universal.
Here is Stedman's estimate of Al
fred Tennyson, the English poet:
In Tennyson we have lost, bearing in
mind his combination of the expression of
toeauty with the expression of thought, the
greatest and most rational of English poets
since Byron. Before all others, he was the
representative poet of the Imperial Vic
torian period as much so as Pope, with his
lesser genius, was the poetic leader of the
less historic Queen Anne's time. The Vic
torian period, so far as Its distinctively
idyllic art and literature are concerned,
ended, we might say, with the third quar
ter of our century, though the aged queen
still holds the throne, having lived her own
time.
Browning, the only one of Tennyson s
compeera equal to him In intellectual power,
seems to me rather the forerunner of a
new era than the representative of his own.
For all his striking but peculiar dramatic
quality, and his lyrical gift so fine at Its
best. I do not think he was a greater poet
than Tennyson; since he became utterly In
different to the expression of beauty, and
his thought might prove to "?e really no
profounder, to have no more insight, than
the noble thought of Tennyson If expressed
with the latter's matchless clearness ana
simplicity. "
The purest artistic excellence of tne re
cent English muse took Its note from the
exquisite carlv lyrics, ballade and Idyls oc
Tennyson. They seemed besides Just as
original as exquisite.' at their date of pro
duction: and before all poets of the English
speaking world had caught their method.
Who can forget how their charm and nov
elty thrilled us when they slowly made
their way to the American public of 40
years agoT "In Memorlam" alone would
place him above all others as the chief and
characteristic Victorian poet. Tennyson
was in thought and faith, conservatively
liberal of the school of Maurice. KlnBsley,
and the like. English above all! English
in phrase, person, knowledge of and loe
for outdoor nature, truth telling, loyalty,
impatience of bearing. He was not a dem
ocrat or a republican, but a constitutional
monarchist: not an American, but an Eng
lishman. His shortcomings were Just as
manifest as his greatness, hut not out ol
keeping with the spirit of his age. He
failed, over and over again. In dramatic ef
forts, and the generally undramatic tenor
of his work was confirmed by his l'fe'ns
seclusion his Intimacy with nature rather
than with man.
From their multitudinous nature, it
Is not possible to give many extended
excerpts from Stedman's letters the
mine is so rich, so American, that one
hesitates where to begin and end. in
life, Stedman often said to those inter
viewing him: "Do not paraphrase.
Use mv words." This Injunction has
been followed by his biographers.
Does American poetry pay, in money?
Tho hest of it? Listen to wnai otea
...rnta -lust before he died:
"At
home, sick all day, and at end of my
means, and seeing plainly it is too late
to complete even the first portion of
my 'memoirs. Made gloomier by the
Bibliophile edition of Theocritus with
so much derived from my suggestions
and my own never to be written.
January 2. 1908: "Never had such a
left-over burden of letters, besides
books, including greetings, etc.. and I
need every -minute for my own work
and bread winning."
Stedman's philosophy may be esti
mated from this paragraph he left:
"Five hundred years of earth are none
too many.' could we retain vigor and
health. Wouldn't you like to be 60
years a traveler, 50 years an Inventor,
60 years a statesman to- practice
painting, sculpture, oratory and all
the time a fisher, sailor, poet, author
and man of the world? I should, and
then might be willing to try some other
sphere."

"A Nation's Crime." Mrs. Lowenberg.
who Is remembered and esteemed as tho
author of "The Irresistible Current," baa
done clever and Satisfying work In her
new novel and speaks out with courage
on a point that is fiercely debated.
The scene starts in England with Rev.
John Lane, as curate or assistant minis
ter of a country church near London. Ha
is ignorant of the wiles of young women
and is embarrassed when a rustic beauty.
Susan Hutton, barmaid or female bar
tender, falls in love with him. So much
of a "softy" is the young preacher that
when Susan summons him to her bedside,
says she is dying and asks him to makfl
her his wife before she dies, that he dors
so in a most impressive manner. Aa
old trick. Of course, the new Mrs. Lane
recovers and gets well with amazing
rapidity. She and her husband emigrate
to this country and make their new
home in Maryland. On page 39 we ara
introduced to the Aliens and their beau
tiful daughter Anne, 16 years old. Roy
Allerson. son of an aristocratic family
with millions of money, loves Anne and.
she him, but rumor says he Is engaged,
to another girl, and against her will
Anne is married to Richard Bovrill.
Allerson comes on the scene to say that
the rumor of his engagement to the
other girl is false and there Is a lurid,
love scene between young Mrs. Boyrlll
and him. Mrs. Bovrill hates her hus
band, leaves his home, and departs with
her mother from Maryland to Reno,
Nev., where she remains one year In
stead of the six months required by law,
and obtains a divorce from her husband.
Rose season dawns. The divorced Mrs.
BovTill marries Roy Allerson, and tha
time must have been recent, for about
page 97 there are references to the Payne
tariff bill and Colonel Roosevelt's hunting
trip to South Africa. On page 109 w
are Informed that the Allersons are
parents of a son and daughter, Stephen
and Victoria. When Victoria is 18 yearp
old she is sought in marriage by Count
Victor de Courtenay. Stephen is engaged
to marry Miss Nannie Durden, a young
woman of wealth. Richard Bovrill per
sists, hangs around the story, like an tin
canny black beetle.

mother dies and she leaves each $5,000,000
to Victoria and Stephen, and gives $20.
O00 0"0 to their widowed mother. Other
heirs are cut off with fewer millions of
dollars and in their chagrin these heirs
start a lawsuit to declare the marriaga
of Roy Allerson with tho divorced woman,
from Reno, Nev., to be illegal. The ver
dict of the jury is, on page 217:: That
the marriage of Roy Allerson to Anna
BovTill. In Reno, State of Nevada. 19-.
residents of B . in tho State of Mary
land, was illegal."
The matrimonial status of the Allerson
family Is In consequence thrown Into
confusion. Virginia, driven desperate at
the loss of money and family name, takes
her own life. A decision of the Supreme.
Court of the United States sustains the
decision of the lower court and an appeal
is made tn the novel for "a uniform di
vorce law which all nations with a claim
to civilization must will follow," a law
good in all the states of the Un'on.
Plenty of conversation lights up th
novel, which is commended to the con
sideration of mature minds.
