- The east coast of Florida Is the scene of
Harrison Rhodes' novel, "The Flight to
Eden." The story opens In and near Lon
don, about 1870. Basil Forreeter, through
traglo experience, cornea to feel that his
love can only bring sorrow or death to wo
men, and files to the east coast of Florida.
Although he finds an Eve there, this la not
the Eden of the title, for he finds there
also the menace of violent death, a rude
chivalry and the shadow of London. Pub
lished by Henry Holt & Co.
"Thomas Alva Edison; Blxty Tears of an
Inventor's Life," by Francis Arthur Jones,
will at once commend Itself as one of the
few necessary books to librarians and read
ers alike. Edison's name and fame are
known around the world. His life story
reads like a romance, from the time he
published a newspaper on board a train at
114 and later was an out-at-the-elbows
"tramp" telegraph operator till his elec
trical Inventions caused the formation of a
$16,000,000 stock company. No recent life
of Edleon is In print, a fact which maket
thla book doubly valuable. It Is the re
sult of close acquaintance with and study
Of the Inventor and Is at once complete,
authoritative and Intensely Interesting. It
Is a romance of truth which far exceeds
fiction. The book Is replete with anecdotes,
description of Inventions and illustrations.
Thomas T. Crowell St Co. Is the publisher.
"The Black Bag" la another story of ad
venture by Louis Joseph Vance, the au
thor of "The Brass Bowl" and other stir
ring tales. The new volume Is a thriller,
filled with highly melodramatic situations,
but It Is not such a tax on the credulity as
was "The Brass Bowl." Its characters are
much more human and real, but the tale Is
quite as exciting as the reader could de
sire. It Is a tale of mystery, but told with
a pleasing directness and with a logical de
velopment of the plot. It Is published by
the Bobbs-Merrill company, Indianapolis.
Isaac N. Stevens, prominent In legal and
political affairs in Colorado, Is the au
thor of "The Liberators." Just published by
B. W. Dodge & Co. of New York. It Is a
story of the political development of the
country from the times of the civil war to
the present, with a keen' analysis of
changes that have been wrought In the
politics and the ptibllo sentiment of the
country In that time. The author has
woven a pretty love story Into the tale,
without robbing the book of any of Its
historical value.
"The Supreme Gift." by Grace Litchfield,
author of "The Moving Finger Writes," Is
a novel presenting a dramatic situation
that Is allied to questions of Individual so
cial responsibility. Interesting In a great
degree, developing rapidly one situation
after another, and with a pathos that
grips one sympathies. Joan Kelden, n her
passionate pity for the poor, and her en
deavor to atone for her father's bankruptcy
which has swept away their all, however
misguided In the course which she pursues,
Is a sweet, lovable girl, and the other
characters of the story are carefully and
skillfully drawn. The Illustrations are by
Alice Barber Stephens. Little, Brown &
Co. Is the publisher.
"Quickened," by Anna Chapln Ray, au
thor of "Hearts and Creeds," "Ackroyd of
the Faculty," "By the Good Salnte Anne,"
etc., combines a charming description of
Quebec surroundings and society with a
study of character which goes deeper Into
human nature than any she has hitherto
made. She gives here an admirable sym
pathetic study of the way Catholicism
reaches certain deep-seated needs of the
heart and the Influence which acceptance of
Its authority may work on an ardent and
Impreaslonable mind, once turned towards
religious satisfactions. She does this with
out compromising & sturdy Froteatanlam
of the Intellect, and Indicates the common
ground of the two faiths, both of which
are based on human necessities. The heart
of the story Is In Thorne Alstrnm's strug
gle, and Its gradual working out according
to an Inward necessity, not by outward
compulsion. Yet the novel In other respects
Is well worth reading, has many a pictur
esque description, as of the pilgrimage ,
scenes, and has a number of clever charac
terisations, tender, touching, womanly and
brave and the minor characters are In
tensely individual and realistic. Published
by. Little, Brown & Co.
"Cupid's Pack of Cards," by Walter
Pulitxer, a new book of original epigrams
and proverbs on the great International
game of love, with fifty-two playing cards,
employed separately, as a decorative back
ground, have been approached by a manu
facturer of playing cards with a view to
securing the privilege of reproducing them
as a practical pack of cards.
In the "Hemlock Avenue Mystery," by
Roman Doubleday, the mystery attached
to the death of a prominent lawyer, an In
dictment, against another member of the
bar, based on circumstantial evidence, fur
nish the theme for this engrossing story.
The mystery is eventually solved by a
local reporter, the principal character of
the novel. The plot Is closely knit and
well worked out, the Interest Is sustained
throughout, and although the reader's in
terest is kept on edge and Increased by
surprising situations and events, there Is
nothing Impossible or unnatural. It la one
of the few books no one will wish to lay
down. Published by Little, Brown Co.
" Traffic' the Story of a Faithful
Woman," by E. Temple Thurston, while
Introducing a character to whom your sym
pathies go forth, brings the reader face
to face with aome of the knotty, searching
problems of modern life. Throughout
Nanno "Troy's lif problem Is Interwoven
that question which is today of such ab
sorbing Interest, th attltuud of the
church toward divorce. Published by the
G. W. Dillingham company.
"Dr. Ellen," by Juliet Wllbor Thomp
klns, is a vigorous, romantlo novel of life
and love in the California Sierras. Dr.
Ellen Is a medical practlctloner wlm, for a
sufficiently compellng reason, sacrifices her
future to retire to a mountain village. The
story of her struggles against adverse, con
ditions and of tha man who came Into
her life will prove of great Interest to

WHEN INDIANS AW00IN' GO
Conrtlnor and Wedding; Cnstoma of the
Cheyenne I'nalfeeted by
Clvlllsatloa.
In relating early day experiences among
the Cheyenne Indians In Oklahoma, John
H. Seger told lately of the marriage cus
tom In that tribe. The Cheyennea have
advanced In the ways of civilization, but
they still cling to this old custom. Be
fore he Is eligible to the hand of a young
woman of more than ordinary charms,
the young man must have distinguished
himself by aome feat of bravery or
accumulated properly.
Ccurtshlp beging usually at a dance at
tended by the young people of the vil
lage. The girts sit by themselves 'at One
side of the tepee, and the young men at
the other. All wear their finest toggery.
A peculiar feature of their dress is' that
each wears a blanket concealing all ex
cept their cyea.
The love-sick Indian swain gazes Inces
santly from the corner of one eye at his
possible sweetheart. She responds by aris
ing and dancing around the fire, and seals
her choice by cuffing him en the ear.
This she does several times, her last stroke
sometimes almost knocking the young man
from hie seat, to the merriment of the
onlookers. The two then dance together,
often with other couples, uhtll late at
night.
In a few days the young man goes and
stands near the tepee of the girl s father.
The observant mother calls her daughter's
attention to the presence of Running Pan
ther, or what ever his name my be. The

from the tepee. If she runs away, the
evidence Is Indisputable thnt she Is a flirt,
and that the young man has been Jilted.
If she Is sincere, she stands coquettlxhly
looking In a direction away from the
young man. He advances and drops
a blanket over both their heads. He has
made a great progress, and rivals might
as well go hunting. The two stand under
the blanket and talk to their hearts' con
tent. It would be Improper for other
persons in the camp to take any notice
of them.

One ardent lover whom I recall," said
Seger, "having been stripped of ail his

hlmse'.f to a chief to get the latter's
daughter, end was accepted. For years
the old chief called upon his faithful
son-in-law to perform all manner of
haxardmis and dangerous tasks. The aon-In-law
obeyed loyally so long as the old
man lived, and at the latter's death said
gallantry that the gift of the old man s
daughter had well repaid him for all the
fcaorifices he had made."
The father having accepted the gifts
of the young man. the latter brings the
affair to a close by laying on the ground
at the old man's tepee, curled like a dog,
to show how abject and faithful ho will be.
The father then Invites his future son-ln-

CRYSTAL BALL TELLS DREAMS
Exhibit in Boiton Museum Contains
Wonderful Properties.
"SPOOKS" ARE SEEN IN GLASS
Scientists IMace Considerable Confi
dence In Reports of Crystal
Casing; In Ancient
Times.
BOSTON, April 4. One of the most fam
ous objects In the Collections of the Mus
eum of Fine Arts of this city is a great
crystal ball with oriental settings, the
largest mirror of the subconscious world,
It is said, on the planet. Acquired for the
Amea collection from an East Indian
source and loaned for an Indefinite period
to the Museum In Copley Square, it per
petually Invites to the exercise of tha now
fashionable fad of crystal gating. Tou
look Into It? or Into any other of a large
group of similar but smaller globes under
certain favoring conditions and. If your
temperament Is right, you may see vlaions
projected from out your subliminal life.
Seeing thlnys In very popular Just now.
A play, for example, In which so well
known a theapian as Miss Ethel Barry
more Is starring this season presents a
crystal gazing Bcene. This Is a time,
too, when along with the general revival
of Interest in all topics pertaining to
psychical research,, more people, prob
ably than ever before In the history of
the world are looking into crystals, glasses
of water, polished atone or wood or other
surfaces capabe of reflecting light with the
expectation that apparitions or hallucina
tions may float before their eyes.
Glass Shows I's) "Spooks."
"Spooks" seen In a glass seem from
all accounts to be among the easiest to
conjure up. Whatever the cause of these
apparitions the fact remains that from
very early times peculiarly constituted
persons about one Individual in seven
have appeared to possess the power of
producing hallucinations of a certain kind
In themselves by gazing intently into a
crystal. In recent years, and especially
Blnoe the formation of aocletles for scien
tific study of psychical research In this
country and abroad, Interest In such phe
nomena has been very keen, end a con
siderable body of facts, apparently well
authenticated, has been collected. Prof.
James H. Hyslop, president of the new
American Society for Psychical Researclt,
hns long been studying the psychological
considerations Involved In this cult of
crystal gaxlng and In his book ''Enigmas
of Pyschlral Research," as well as In
other populas) expositions of metarsy
chical subjects, has given In detail tho
records of strange sights from th un
seen realm. He cautiously claims noth
ing from which an argument can be
drawn aa to such communications from the
eternal depths as Sir Oliver Lodge asnerta
he lias had. He finds, however, a great
mass of data that fascinate the student
of the tittle understood activities of the
subliminal mind.
Amerlraa Indians Follow Custom.
The marvels of crystal gnclng come
right down to homely experience. If,
for instance, you looked Into a glass
ball and there re Tie before your eyes a
sharp, distinct picture of your old min
ister whom you had not seen for fifteen
years and then Just as you exclaimed
"Why, Mr. X," the face vanished and
there appeared a slight picture of a
cemetery, would you not think there
was occasion for apprehension! Later
the woman who aaw this sight in the
glass brightly la reported to have gone
to the city which the clergyman had
moved, found the man himself dying
and recognized the very remetery which
she had seen while looking Into the
crystal.
This notion of seeing the unseeable at
times when the gaze Is fixed upon a re
fltcilng surface whose high ligats are
pom, or a Whole Suite.
Which?
eliminated aa far as possible is nothing
new In history. Am Prof. Hyslop discloses
in his book on the metapsychlcal enigmas,
this form of divination waa known among
the Oreeks, who possessed polished and en
chanted crystals In which future events
were signified. He haa also found traces
of the -practices of crystal gaxlng In As
syria, Greece, Rome, China, Japan, India
and possibly In some of the South SeaIs
lands. The use of a mirror or crystal ball
has been noted among the Apaches of the
western plains; they employ a crystal to
discover stolen property. Other tribes of
Indians make their patients gaze into
water In which they see pictures of the
food and medicine good for them. In
Polynesia a hole Is dug In th ground and
as K fills with water tha priest peers In to
discover the authors of thefts. In India
castor oil Is held In th hand of a child
and In the mirror t,hus formed float weird
plcturea of spirits and demons.
Interesting Stories at Crystal Castas.
Most of the stories of wonders accom
plished by means of costal gaxlng have
come down on the basis of such testimony
that the are regarded by the scientists as
Interesting, but unreliable. Nor are the
modern manifestations held to belong
necessarily to the realm of the queer. The
point of view of modern psychical research
Is that strange things , actually do come
before the mind at times, aa a result of
concentrated gazing. There Is no need of
calling them supernatural; they are simply
supernormal.
Oftentimes an Impression mad by some
circumstance of years before and entirely
erased from .conscious memory reappears.
An advertisement In a newspaper, seen but
not really noticed months before, will drift
Into consciousness. Prof. Hyslop cites the
case of a woman living In Brooklyn who
on looking into the crystal frequently had
a vision of a bright blue sky, a garden
with a wall fence and a peculiar chain
pump In the garden. Later she went to her
old home which she had not known sine
she was t or 3 years old and there, sure
enough, were the chain pump, the wall
fence and the bright blue sky.
One of the internationally famous costal
seers is Mrs. Verrall, for sometime a lec
turer at Newnham college, Cambridge,
England, and known to the classical world
as the translator of Pausanlas. Mrs. Ver
rall has had many other entertaining
psychical experiences, some of which enter

Dim Llgkt Is Best.
As regards crystal gaxlng Mrs. VerraU
has found a cut crystal, a globular crystal,
a glass paper weight or a glass full of
water to be equally effective. She say I
she Is most likely to see things when the
light is dlm. She has .occasionally Been
pictures In fairly bright light, but never
In absolute darkness. The practice Is use
ful in Mrs. Verrall's case because she
finds It a convenient way of recalling
things- she .has forgotten. The plcturt
once produced has a reality which she sayt
she has never been able to obtain when
looking into the fire or trying to call us
an imaginary scene with eyes closed.
Sometimes she has practised automatic
writing while looking Into the crystal. The
countess of Radnor and Miss Ooodrlch
Freer are other English women who havg
been susceptible of the apparition of the
crystal.
Without prejudice as to the origin of
these visions or hallucinations Prof. Hy
slop and other writers of the psychical
research literature, of which a new book
by the secretary and founder of the 8o-
house, regard them evidently as pertaining
particularly to acuta sensibility of tempera
ment. "The limits of knowledge," he says,
"are not exactly where Lock placed them,
namely normal sensation and perception.
Apparently the mind is sensitive to much
else, or we cannot define the Irmlts of
sens perception. However this may be,
crystal visions and similar phenomena
bring us to ths forced admission that we
have not yet made the mysteries of mind
aa clear as preceding generations sup
be issued by the 8mall-Maynard Publishing
posed.'
Th preservation, at all events, of such
crystals as those at the Boston Museum of
Fine Arts is an Interesting Indication of the
entwining of material and Immaterial In
the history of art. Like so many of th
relics of psst civilisations they represent,
with their beautiful settings, a remark
able decorative achievement, while when
one considers their use, they call attention
to the constant striving of the human mind
to understand th great unknown.
