Nearly all of Walt Whitman's poems about the Civil war are as stirring and as applicable to this present time and 'war as they were to his own times. The hlgrh martial fervor and the pictures of a na.tion arming and stepping forth to battle for the Ideals of justice, freedom and democracy in his collection of war poems "Drum Taps," speak the spirit of today with passion, imagination and spiritual ex altation. Beat! beat! drums! blow! bugles! blow! Through the windows through doors burst like a ruthless force. Into the solemn church and scatter the congregation. Into the school where the scholar la studying; , . Leave not the bridegroom quiet no happinss must he have now with his bride. Nor the peaceful farmer any peace, ploughing his field or gathering his grain, So fierce you whirr and pound you drums so shrill you bugles blow. In the "Song of the Banner at Day break," wherein a . poet, a child, a father and the banner and pennant voice their demands; the child thrilled and longing, the father trying to sat imtv it with oromlses of peace and comfort, the banner and pennant call ing for sacrifice and the poet singing th hih mission or tne nag, mere ib a glowing rendering of what the flag means to the true American. The poet concludes: So loved O you banner leading the dav with stars brought from VaiiiiPK ohiprt of eves, over all and demanding all (absolute owner of all) O banner and pennant: t tstn iva t-ha rst--rreat as it is. it Is nothing houses, machines are nothing I see them not, t hut vou O warlike pennant! O banner so broad, with stripes. sing you only. Flapping up therein tjie wind. The New York Times Review of Books said recently, in a long editorial on these poems as an interpretation of the spirit of the tfnltcd States "on Its entrance Into the great world struggle against autocracy" that "Poetry of this kind, touched with the highest aspiration of a mighty republic ad dressing Itself to wafe must appeal irresistibly to the patriotism evoked by the great events filling the world today." Apes Tend to Make One Nervous Eliza Ruhamah Scidmore, who has spent more than 30 years in Japan and the Orient, is the author of "As The Hague Ordains," "China, the Long- Lived Empire," etc. In "Java, the Gar den of the East." Miss Scidmore tells a story which Is an all too dreadful re minder of "The Murders in the Rue Morgue." , Tea was being taken on the porch of a Dutch matron. The lady took a ba nana and called, "Peter, Peter!" There was a rustle and a crash of houghs overhead, and a great ape, nearly the size of a man, swung from one tree branch to another, snatched the banana and bounded back into the tree, where itpeered cunrttngly at the visitors while it ate. oAfter that. Miss Scidmore atates that every rustle in the shrubbery made them jump, um brellas were kept at hand for defense, and solemn compact was made that no one should be left unguarded.

Be patient still; suffer us yet awhile longer with our broken purposes of good, with our idle endeavours against evil suffer us awhile longer to endure, and, (if it may be) help us to do better. Bless to us our extraordinary mercies; if the day come when these must be WHEN THE EARTH To say that a ship in midocean might be destroyed by an earthquake seems paradoxical and absurd, writes Ernest Ingersoll in "The Book of the Ocean" (Century), yet it is true. Whenever a subterranean convulsion occurs beneath or at the edge of the aea, the water will be agitated in proportion to its r-force. Strike a tub of water a rentle tap and see how its liquid contents shiver and ripple. Watch a railway train, running at the edge of a body of water 'and observe how the water trem bles under the percussion of the wheels upon the -.ground. Earthquake shocks give rise sometimes to great disturb ances, either- by a direct Jar to the water or by setting in motion waves whose rolling does damage, especially in confined harbors. Sometimes a port will be suddenly Invaded by a wave, the cause of which Was an earthquake. which rolls in upreared like a wall and carries death and destrjiction in its course. a Such catastrophes are nd"' -uncommon in volcanic districts, whereC4he ocean retorts with terrible vengeance, Jarhen it is strucK Dy the land.

So suc cessful was the engineer that 36 hours after the ship reached the navy yaj-d, the main boilers were generat ing steam. There are a dozen other features in the August Issue of interest. "Des troying a Submarine with a Cabl-- Bomb," is the.- title of an article which tells in an authoritative way the latest new method of airplane attack.

This year there are the usual stories, together with a contents of timely interest upon sub jects concerning the war. The number opens with a story by John Galsworthy, "Defeat," the story of a young English officer back in London convalescing from wounds an experience of a romantic young soldier on the streets off a bright. moonlight night, a very human experi ence, a very real transcript of life with a" background of the war. Henry van pyke contributes his first story of many months, "A Re membered Dream," an " allegorical story, in which the great struggle be tween God and Man is pictured. It is easily construed as a presentation of the spirit of the "predatory Pots dam gang." There are other good stories, special articles, illustrated, some poetry, and the usual interesting departments. , Popular Mechanics Magazine In .Popular Mechanics magazine for August.

"We thank Thee and praise Thee; and in the words of Him to whom this day Is aacred, close 6ur oblation." From "Robert Louis Stevenson at Baranac," by Thomas Russell Sulli van, In the August Scrlbner's. QUAKES AT SEA Strait of Sunda, was followed on nelgh orlng coasts by a series of vast billows that rolled inland, deluging a wide ex panse of shore, sweeping away over 150 villages and crushing or drowning mora than 30,000 persons. Within a few years the Coasts of Northern Japan have been inundated repeatedly by earthquake waves with similar dire ca lamities, and they are likely to occur again. Now and then earthquakes are felt even in the open sea, far from land. Thus, Captain Lecky, a scientific writer upon the sea, tells us that In one in stance where he was present, the ink stand upon the captain' table was Jerked upward against the ceiling, where it left an unmistakable record of the occurrence, and yet this vessel was ateaming along In smooth water many hundreds of fathoms deep concussions." he says, "were bo X 2i I ff their that TiU UAr pari wai ahalrn n seals, anu, oi course, inougni mat tne vessel had run ashore." All this dis turbance was, nevertheless, only the re sult of a shock at the bottom, and when the nonelastic nature of water is con sidered, the severity of the Jar is not surprising. ..

The first set will be the Slavonic encyclopedia The library will include a more com plex and detailed history of the evolu tion of the United States than haa ever been published. The editorial beard will be made up of noted savants from American unirersitles. Dr. Isldor Singer, managing editor of the American Library of Ency clopedias, will direct the new work. It is said that the extent to which ihc banker would finance the library would depend largely upon the success which each section of the encyclopedias would meet upon publication.
