FREE INCRITICISH
Marginal Notes Upon Books Are
Sometimes Severe.
Readers' Estimates of the Worki in a
- Circulating Library Apt to Be
Irritating to Author, If
He Saw Them..
Not only is the battered condition of
certain works of fiction in circulatin:
libraries n .sure proof of their popular
ity, hut one nmy even .trailer detail
from the lnariiuil notes mude by
feminine readers. It is not sufficient
for the ooiiimenladve neiieil to uml t
seore admired passages, observes a
writer In the New Orleans Tinies-rka-:"'.;
iiilj-etlves of praise also are
lively if not always discriniuatini,!

On the closing pajjo of some favoritr
Aiowl may often be read: "Fine!1
"Splendid!" "Lovely!" or IiIrIic.-H
ciia;a,-!.f.atioii of all ' Grand !" One
lioteniaker undertook the lurge order,
"I would read every siujjle word she
writes," and another avowed, with
more justice than she knew, "Yor
Jjn't often find a book like this."
On the other h; nd, tVso unprofes
sional critics can be terribly severe. A
novel which takes iheni out of tjiwr
depth is denounced Us "A great bU
bore," or, with rude terwuess, "Hot !'
or even, in one i?o of evident exas
peration, "You Vu. you know it all."
A vigorous con-.'.tK'Btator on one of
Mary Cholimmdeloy's novels did not
wait for the last, but on the first p:-;:-warned
away posMble readers with
the word, "run!;," and three exclnn

Ignorance.
A verse jjf French poetry evoked
the impatient query, "Why not writ -Greek?"
while above another was
scribbled, "Aw. piltle I We are not all
French, you know." Observe that no
intellectual curiosity was kindled In
that thick brain to know what the
French words meant, nor any realiza
tion awakened that we enrich our
selves by knowledge of another lau
gnage. The author's humorous touches were
clearly taken as serious by this out
raged reader who, after one passage,
wrote mockingly, "My hero !" When a
mnsculine character says something
"hoarsely" It Is asked with biting sar
casm, "Did he have a cold?"
The hero conducts the heroine
through a dark room, "knocking her
carefully against pieces of furniture."
as usually happens when one person
tries to pilot another through obscuri
ty, but this merciless critic demands,
"Wasn't lie chivalrous?"
Of a tastelessly arranged room the
author said, "The furniture was not of
the kind that expresses only one Idea,
and that a bad one," which culls forth
the comment. "Like this book." The
sun is not permitted to shine "brave

Gunner's Mate W'ns Praise.

received a letter commending him for
the excellent work of rlie armed guard

ship attacked by a Miliiimrltie. The

Rather Risky Proceeding.
The government's efforts to cure the

Its tail, as it was impnibie for a mule
to bray unless it raised its tail and re

CHINESE HAD BRIGHT IDEA
Attempted Reproduction of Machine,
I However, Didn't Win Any
Approval From Aviator.
I After completing his service In the
United States army (he enlisted in
1007), Raoul Lufberry roamed over
' Japan and China and India. During
his travels he ran across an airplane
: exhibition flight In Saigon. Marc Pour
pe, the famous French trick llyer, was
barnstorming In the fur Fast. He gave
I.ufbery employment us mechanic, and
thus occupied in a new and fascinating
! pursuit, Lufhery continued his nir-
p'ane education for three years under
Pourpe. The experience lasted until
the beginning of the great war.
While performing In China the two
aviators were struck with the unusual
warmth of their welcome and i.ae re
peated Invitations tiiey lVceived to
prolong their stay. They were over
whelmed with gifts as well as with
praise, and received many marks of
royal favor.
Their hosts examined the strange
bird again and again, received the un
intelligible explanations of its mirac
ulous flight, made measurements nnd
drawings, and excitedly discussed the
problem with one another, while the
two foreigners examined the new gifts
that had been lavished upon them.
Finally the secret of tills prolonged
hospitality -was out. Pourpe and Luf
hery were conducted In state to a
neighboring city, where the Chinese
experts had all this time been con
structing their first airplane. It was
far more marvelous to the airmen than
was the original.
Upon approaching the inclosure, the
aviators saw the admiring populace
roll back, disclosing to view a gorge
ous spectacle the first Chinese air
plane. Stepping nearer to study the
magnificent creation they heard the
subdiied roar of the engine above the
riotous clamor of foreign tongues.
Politely examining the framework
and multicolored fabric, they found
the spars, struts and flooring to be
constructed of light bamboo. The
beautiful fabric was of the lightest
tissue paper.
The roar of the engine continued.
Placing an ear against the engine
hood, Pourpe tried to fathom tins mys
tery. The propeller stood motionless,
a splendid production of highly pol
ished teak wood and mahogany, but
undeniably Indifferent to the healthy
manifestations of engine power with
in. Several coolies anchored the Im
patient machine to earth by holding
desperately to Its framework with all
their might.
The crowd was pressed back and
the airman cordially Invited to climb
Into t,he seat. He lemurred politely,
and Inquired, with gestures, as to the
character of the motor and the fuel.
And could he examine the spark
plugs?
The engine hood was reluctantly re
moved. A huge swarm of angry hees
was buzzing madly within the glass
cage, rivaling in the intensity of their
fury the noise of Pourpe's own power
ful motor. The Chinese had estimated
conscientiously the amount of weight
that could be carried by one bee and
after carefully weighing the new nir
phine their mathematical experts had
inclosed enough bees to carry the
whole weight, adding a few extra bees
to give a small margin of extia horse
power for emi.gencie,-i.
, Rut Pourpe was dissatisfied with the
soundness of these arithmetical (-adulations
and declined to fly, much to
the disappointment of his new friends.

Rabbit: breeding In England ha.-; been
undertaken by the government in an
effort to relieve the shoriage of meat
due to the war.
The National Utility Knbblt asso
ciation, it was announced recently, litis
established a central breeding station
and stud exchange in Vauxhull, Lon
don. The first club started in London
under auspices of the association Is at
the Royal mews, Buckingham palace..
The primary object is to build up as
quickly as possible a large supply of
the best pedigreed stock, which will be
sent to provincial breeding centers.
These in turn will supply breeding
stock to smaller stations.
Each of the larger provincial centers
will hove 100 breeding dmw, while the
smaller stations will keep on hand
about 20 each. It Is the hope of olll
cials Unit all allotment societies, food
production organizations, women's In
stitutes and many factories, munition
works, school nnd summer camps will
form rabbit clubs to be ulliliated with
the national association.
Study of Rata Valuable.
After 11 years of experimenting
with rats, Dr. E. V. McGullum, head
of the chemistry department of the
school of hygiene and public health
of Johns Hopkins university, has
readied the conclusion that the food
requirements of all animals, includ
ing man, iye the same.
He declares that the extensive con
sumption of dairy products Is neces
sary to produce a vigorous race and
prolong life.
Durii.g the years that Doctor Mc
Collum has been studying this ques
tion, especially Interesting now, when
food Is playing such an Important
part In the affairs of the world, he
has been housing about 1,500 white
and hybrid rats In his laboratory.
