Terror!
If you are a highly strung; suscept
ible person, a reading of lust half the
contents of this powerfully fashioned
psychological novel, portraying hered
lty, will make you dislike to remain
in a suddenly darkened room. Your
Inner man fill be aroused, and your
body will act as if It were subject to
the control of a newly applied electric
battery. Why? Because of the unusual,
heart-searching appeal of "The Blue
"Wall." a thriller of the new, educated
school. The novel consists of a series
of stories within one big. central story.
At the same time cheap sensationalism
is avoided.
In "Jim Hands" Mr. Child won cor
dial appreciation from the reading pub
lic for the wealth of his character
stndles. So much In tune are the pub
lishers with Mr. Child's Ideas that the
frontispiece Is a representation of a
blue wall, with the picture of a man
whom face reflects fear or uneasiness.
ar.d the title page is In blue, with this
message "a story of strangeness and
struggle."
A physician who is a specialist In
psychology, tells the story. He is sud
denly called upon to treat Virginia
Marbury. 8 years old, for a strange
combination of diseases headache. In
equality of the eye pupils, vertigo,
coma and convulsions. .Her father was
a financial magnate, and her mother
would not consent . to the little girl
being moved to a hospital. If Mrs.
Marbury had, the story would probably
have never beeen written. Virginia's
bed lay along a blue wall, which led
to the adjoining house of Mr. and Mrs.
Jermyn Estabrook. a childless but rich
couple. What was the secret of the
child's Illness? It was' clearly due to
some puzzling mental cause. She
seemed to be affected by that blue
wall or something beyond It. The nurse
said: "It Is the child who knows that
something Is beyond that wall. It Is
her delirium. There is no sense In It.
She believes some one in there. She
has tried to explain. She puts her
hands upon that surface and smiles,
or sometimes her face, as she looks,
will all screw up In pain."
What strange occult force or trag
edy lay behind that blue wall? Mr.
and Mrs.' Kstabrook. and one domestic
servant. Margaret Mure hie, an old
maid, comprise the family. The hero
doctor, to find out the strange force
or condition afflicting little Virginia
Marbury, prowls arounds the outside of
the Estabrook house, is mistaken for a
robber by Mr. Estabrook, and there is a
fight. Mr. Estabrook wants to know
what is the matter with his wife. Fh
is acting strangely, talks of a curse
hanging over her, and persists in being
shut up for three weeks In a room.
Tears previously, Mr. Estabrook fell
In love with Miss Jullenna Colfax,
daughter of Judge Colfax, a specialist
in probate work, and married her. The
Judge said that he held a secret con
cerning his daughter's birth, and was
very much depressed concerning It, but
Mr. Estabrook did not wish to know its
slgniricancei. Judge Colfax and Mr. Es
tabrook had one strange experience
when they visited an old museum, the
admission to which cost 10 cents. The
sensation of the museum was a seem
ingly mechanical automaton, which the
Judge named the Sheik of Baal bee. It
was a phenomenal chess player, and
usually" won playing against experts.
"The representation of a squatting
Arab, robed In red Oriental swathes
and with a chessboard fastened to its
knees, sat cross-legged on a box-like
structure. Upon dropping a coin into
a slot in the flat top. two folding
doors in front of this box would open
for a few moments, showing a glass
covered Interior which, as far as the
back of the box, was filled with a
tangle of wheels and pulleys, seeming
to preclude the possibility that a hu
man being could hide therein. As
soon as these doors closed, a flat
space In the chest of the 8helk opened,
with a faint ferver of machinery to
expose Internal organs of metal lev
ers and gears. In the game of chess
with Estabrook, the Ehetk was easily
the victor."
Margaret Murchle confesses years
ago that while she was a pupil of the
famous Madame Westlake, faith heal
er and mystic, she fell In love with
Monty Cranch, an unusually hand
some man, wild, often drunk, possess
ing criminal tendencies, and the de
acendant of a pirate.
But. to get back. Why does Mrs.
Estabrook keep to her room and shun
even her husband's society? At night
time, a strange looking, half-man.
half animal shape creeps about the
Estabrook lawn and narrowly escapes
being shot. A curse seems to hover
about the house and the family. "I
am Just beginning to learn that there
are other contagions than those of the
body," says the hero doctor. "Can we
be sure that fear Is not a disease? Do
we know that love is not an infection?
Can the criminal's gloves, saturated
with his personality, be safe for the
hands of an honest man? Don't we
weaken by rubbing elbows with the
weak. Are there not contagious
germs of thought?' .
The review should stop here.
Ilenrlk Ibws. riaye and Problems, br Otto
Heller, professor of the Oerman language
and literature In "Washington University,
Ft. Louis. Mo. S?. Houghton, alittlln
Company, Boston. Mass.
That Ibsen is the greatest dramatist
of modern times, and that bis social
plays are of more than ordinary Im
portance because they mould thouNit
on such Important questions of the day
as the eternal woman question, social
hygiene. psychology toning down
neurasthenia as it affects every day
lives in the stress of city life are con
victions that steadily gain in strength
in this country, it Is in order, there
fore, that a carefully balanced, educa
tional estimate be formed of Ibsen, the
new teacher. Better to do so, even if
we do not approve of Ibsen and all
that his school stands for. We must
know what is going on in the world
of thought and work.
Professor Heller's portrait of Ibsen
stands first and will be found to have
permanent value and Informing quality.
His book Is based on a persistent,
scholarly study of Ibsen's plays, of
preliminary drafts, scenarios and Jot
tings recently published by Ibsen'a
literary executors, and of all letters,
public addresses and casual speeches
that have been kept in accessible form.
The contents of the chapters are: Ibsen
the Scandinavian: early life and works:
history and romance: "Brand-Peer
Uynt"; "The League of Touth"; the
poet as moralist; the new bourgeois
tragedy, "Pillars of Society"; the wo
man question "A Doll's House";
"Ghosts"; Ibsen and the new drama;
"An Enemy of the People"; "Rosmers
holm": "The Lady of the Sea"; "Hedda
Gabler"; "The Master Builder"; "Little
Eyolf"; "John Gabriel Borkman"; and
"When We Dead Awaken."
Here are several thoughts from the
general estimate of Ibsen, as formed
by Heller and worked out on the plan
laid down:
The aim of ahowlnr the Importance ef
Ilenrlk Ibsen, both as a poet and a moral
leather, suggests at the outset a- definite
and emphatic assertion that he was a
highly potent factor In modern life In both
these spiritual functions. A score of years
ago Ibsen was still universally the ob.leet
e embittered contests and argument. Rut
sew be Is already aa hlatorto senonsge.

and his great cultural significance is
acknowledged la all parts of the civilised
world. In this country the recognition of
the e-reat Scandinavian has been slower than
elsewhere, but now here also a change from
the reluctant attitude towards him is mak
ing Itself rapidly felt.
The reason for this tardiness in the ac
ceptance of one of the greatest men of
modern times may be worth pointing out.
It is due to our luckless democratic way of
looking at all thinga through the childish
eyes of majority, the same habit to which
we owe our National deprecation of art
and our backwardness In so many phases
of Intellectual life. ...
The causa of our olavroers Indignant dis
satisfaction with Henrlk Ibsen is simply the
terrible moral earnestness of the man. He
feels that certain things which the com
pact majority has silently conspired to keep
quiet should be said, therefore he proceeds
to sav them. or. Htocamann, tne -enemy
of the People." represents best among his
figures the . author's frame of mind. When
this doctor discovers that the reputed health
resort over which he presides Is In reality
a pest hole, he will not join in the proposed
conspiracy of silence, but firmly. In loud
voice, declares the truth, knowing full well
that his utterance must cost him his place
and living. This is precisely the case of
Ibsen. What Is It that makes such cases
so exceptional If not the universality of
rank cowardice and hypocrisy in large ranks
of "good" society t Out of ordinary respect
for human Intelligence we must credit with
an ability to tell the wrong and the evil
an enormoua number of persona who never
on any account, open their mouths against
It- It is due to human nature to concede
further that very many people are even
aroused, by their fellow creatures' turpldlty,
to contempt and righteous wrath, yet even
they, as a rule, refrain from speaking out.
When pressed for reasons, these good peo
ple are apt to confess their aversion to
polemics, or they meekly decline to "pose
aa reformers." and with a tolerant smile
Inform the Impatient advocate of probity
that there does not seem much use In fight
ing against "human nature."
They hold the Panglosslan view that this
Is the best of all possible worlds and have
made up their practical minds to make the
best of It. -They believe In making the
best of things that are bad and always will
be bad. And because of thla unwreckable
ralth In the badness of things, such people
are known as optimists The determination
to speak out the truth, observable In Ibsen,
aa well aa In many of his compatriots. Is
rather characteristic of countries where lit
erature la young and unhackneyed, so that
many things have a chance of being said
for the first time, coming with warmth,
vigor and virgin freshness straight from
ths heart. Since out of the mouths of
babea and sucklings has been ordained
strength, we may In these days look with
out amaxement upon the spectacle of great
and mighty nations seeking Increase In art
and wisdom from the weaker and more un
developed. Learned Germany and cultured
France have been going to school to little
Norway and barbaric Russia. My excuse
for offering this new study of Henrlk Ibsen
to the English-speaking public Is grounded
In a conviction that England and the
United States are also becoming "Ibsen
reif." ready to listen to the message of the

The I-mm of the S.H. Titanic, by Lawrence
Heesley. (l.M. Houghton, Mifflin & Co..
Boston.
It has arrived at last.
For months the reading world has
awaited from some first-class publish
ing house and written by a dispassion
ate observer, a candid account of the
greatest ocean calamity of the year.
Here it is Mr. Beesley's book. Mr.
Beesley is one of the survivors, and he
had no connection with any steamship
line or board of Inquiry. He writes
without exaggeration, and . gives a
record that will be permanent. His
graphic narrative carries conviction.
Mr. Beesley graduated eight years ago
from Cambridge University, England,
and since then has been a teacher and
lecturer. He was saved from going
down with the Titanic by being re
ceived In a lifeboat and afterward by
the Carpathla. The plea he makes for
reform In ocean travel is most valuable.
Chomp Clark, by W. L. "Webb. SI. The
Neale Publishing Co., New York City.
Champ Clark may some day be Presi
dent of the United States and It be
hooves us to find out all about him
so that we may know what manner of
a man he is. For one thing, the name
by which he is commonly known Is
against him. Imagine one our Presi
dents called "Champ!" The name is
cheap. This really great American's
name Is James Beauchamp Clark, and
he ought to stick to it. The book is
one well worth reading, and an ad
mirable presentation of the great com
moner, orator and politician is given.
Out of poverty came Clark, like an
other Lincoln, and he may yet go far.

shows that within the last five years
that fully 2000 acres are now under ir
rigation and producing crops that rival
the best lands in unrivaled Irrigated
districts.
Within the next 1Z months approxi
mately 1000 acres of this land adjacent

Along these navigable rivers there
are thousands of acres in both Idaho
and Washington that can be made pro
ductive with little expense, say ex
perts. The volcanic ash that lies in
proximity to many of these bars will,
when brought In contact with water,
raise produce as well as be unequalled
orchard land. Many farmers are ex
pecting to try out the experiment on a
small scale this year and If successful
will likely result in the development of
most of the tilable lands In the Snake

LABOR PROBLEM ANALYZED
English Student Claims Trouble Is
Largely Illusory.
LONDON, June 29. (Special.) "W. H.
Mallock, the well-known' authority on
labor questions, says that the universal
labor unrest is like an optical Illusion
similar to that experienced by the trav
eler who Imagines his train Is moving
when another train starts from a neigh
boring line. Put briefly his argument
Is this: -
In proportion there are no more rich
than ther used to be, and no more poor.
But as the numbers of both have In
creased absolutely, there are more poor
to watch the rich enjoying themselves,
and therefore more discontent.
Modern labor unrest, according to Mr.
Mallock, has its origin In "exaggerated
expectations of the mind," in "Illusory
conceptions of the part played by the
labor of the average man In the pro
ductive process of today."
One point to remember In particular
is the fact that many of the rich who
live In this country do not derive their
money from English labor, but from
foreign Investments.
Of the incomes produced In the Unit
ed Kingdom, 87 per cent are under $1000
a year, and only 4 per cent exceed T2o
000. Although, relatively, to the popula
tion aa a whole poverty has been con
tinually decreasing. It hajs also become
more apparent, owing to its being eon
fined In smaller areas, in towna and
semi-urban districts.
Two other causes of unrest, according
to Mr. Mallock, are increased traveling
facilities, with their disturbing effect,
and a system of popular education,
based, not on what will nable the peo
ple to be more skilled at their trades,
but on what had proved useful in the
case of a necessarily limited class of
people, engaged in totally different
avocations. -

Indians. Not until the land was pur
chased by an Eastern company, brought
into connection with water, was it be
lieved to be of any value. An elaborate
pumping plant was Installed, which la
capable of pumping a supply for Irriga
tion to a height of 250 feet, and ren
dered serviceable for Irrigation. IB ono
year's time this land was a scene of a
thriving garden and embryo orchard.
From this land last year a potato and
cabbage crop was grown that brought
the owners between 160 and (200 per
acre. In this land there has been
planted 18.000 apple treea that are)
thriving.
Expert gardeners and ranchers class
the system on this ranch as one of the
most wonderful in the country, and
bears a unique place In the cultivation
of land in the Northwest. Land that
four years ago could be given away
will now bring prices ranging from $6t
to $700 per acre.

press.
Professor Metschnlkoffs answer waa
one word depopulation. He afterward
explained himself thus: The smaller .
families are the more chance there ia
of the children turning out id'.ote or
criminals, which Is very much the same
thing. There is a much higher propor
tion of degeneration and imbecility
among first-born children than among
others. The limitation of ramtllea,
therefore, makes for the Increase of ab
normal Individuals.
The best stock Is produced only at
the fourth or fifth birth. Parents,
therefore who desire to do' their best
by their country and to- bring Into the
world the finest offspring which they
are capable of giving to the world,
should have at least five children. A

three. Nature Is given no chance) te

ones' made of steel, is the heart and
by Its 72 beau a minute the little
dynamo of life pumps 22 pounds of
blood through the body, purifying It
and impatiently taking on another '
quarter of a pound of the red fluid
the next minute. There are four gal

the busy little heart is running all the
time, putting the blood In condition to
keep the human machine going.
