THIS STRANGE CASES OF MASON
BRANT. By N.vll Monroe Hopklni.
Philadelphia. J. B. LlpplncoU company.
i.a.
Wtih the advance of applied science,
with the law keepers be able to hold
in check the lawbreakers? That is
the startling question forced home
to you in reading this thrilling record
of crime and detection. The author
' is a scientist of international reputa
tion the criminologists will sit up
and take notice' when they fiid the
gentle art of murder developed in
smearina a little radium within a
man's hat, thus driving him stark
crazy; or in using a wireless current
to fire a cannon, thus blowing a man
' into eternity. A more fascinating
character than Mason Brant you II
' never find more weird problems, as
suggested, have never been por
trayed. - THE PRIRONEH. Br Alle Brown. Ne
Torn. Tho MaoMIUaa company. 11.19.
- The central character of this book,
; the "Prisoner" of the title, is a young
man who, with a brilliant career be-
i tore him. makes a laise step ana is
sent to prison. It is not, however,
with his imprisonment that Miss
Brown is concerned; but with his re
adjustment with life upon his release.
How he works out the problem that
he faces, upon the happy solution of
which hit entire future depends, is re
lated by Miss Brown in chapters of
intense appeal and power.
TUB FALL Or A NATION. By Thomu
Dlioo. Now York. r. Appl.ton Co.
' . 11.14.
" Thomas Dixon't vivid new novel is
the story of the conquest of the
United States by the Imperial Na
tion in the year 1918. It is a startling
appeal for, national preparedness a
cry of warning against the doctrine
of "peace at any price." Nothing Mr.
Dixon has written compares with the
bigness of this one, with its cry of
warning which men and women of
the present generation would do well
to heed if our glorious nation is to
be preserved.
TH RED DCBT. Mr Ewott MaeDonald.
Now Torn. O. W. DMInf haro company.
11.11.
This it a chronicle of human life as
it it lived. The reader live with the
characters. They are not puppets;
they are flesh and blood people, who
follow one long after the book has
been laid aside. It ends with a whirl
wind of Interest and is laid aside with
regret 'The Red Debt" hat issued
from a master mind, whose artistic
cunning has made beautiful his theme;
whose deep insight into human na
ture has delineated an unforgetable
." picture. ' - .
THB HUMAN BOT AND THE WAR. Br
Kd.n Phlllpolla. N.w Torn. Tho Mee
f Mlllmn company. 11.11.'
S In each of Mr. Phillpott't novels
there has been some really notable
character. It might he an old woman
s, for example, Emma Tresilian in
"Faith Tresilian," or it might be a
, young man as, say, Harvey Porter in
"Brunei's Tower." Here in this book
it is a boy, a likable,, warm-hearted,
wry human youngster. The story of
what he it, .what he thinks,-what he
: does and what he wants is told wittt
much humor and sympathy. It is a
pretent day story and quite as en
tertaining a piece of fiction as has
:ver . come from its distinguished
tuthor. - . ':..
rHB MONSTER HUNTERS. Br Francis
- Rolt.Whoeler. Boiton. Lothrop, Loa
Shapard company. II. JS.
-This It a new achievement in juve
nile literature. It is a story of thrill
ing adventure and through itt pages
writhe or thunder those vast and un
canny monsters that inhabited the
world long ago. Yet so carefully
has this portrayal , been done that
there it bo false scientific note and
, no "nature faking." It is, in part, the
story of one or two of the museum's
own expeditions. - .
WOOD AND STONE. Br John Cowpor
Powya. Robert Butter Son. Now Tork.
tl.lt. . .., , .
In this startling and .original ro
mance, the author turnt aside from
the track of hit contemporaries and
reverts to models drawn from races
which have bolder and lest conven
tional views of literature than the
Anglo-Saxon race. Following the
lead of the great Russian Dostoiev
sky he proceeds to lay bare the secret
passions, the unacknowledged motives
and ampulses which lurk below the
placid teeming surface of ordinary
sumsii nature.

Delano and Samuel rield. Now Tork.
. Daniels Co. IMS.
A fanciful romance of New England
and the Orient. The white pearl, a
lywel ttolen from the shrine of
Buddha in Japan, finds its way by
levious routes to Fairhaven in .New
England. There Bob Alden gives it
to hit -sweetheart, Nancy Marvel, a
lea captain's daughter, and the story
of its wanderings thereafter is a very
novel and exciting one. The prophecy

and Nancy sail for Japan and are
shipwrecked. Very charming illus

. This book it the result of an eight
months' visit made to New Zealand
with the idea of investigating its in
stitutions. -The purpose in publishing

New York. The MacMlllan company.
1 his set of laboratory exercises in
general science is an outgrowth of
courses given by the author in metn

ABC OF HOME SAVINGS. By LiMie C.

centa.
The average American woman in a
$1,000 to $5,000 home, keeping house
for a person whose income ranges
from $50 to $150 a month, is the
woman who most needs to study eco
nomics. It is for her that this little
book is written.
THE WAR AND CULTURE. Br John Cow
per Powys. Robert Ruttor Son. 60
centa.
This reply to Prof. Munsterberg
sweeps aside the irrelevant discussion
over white books, orange books and
gray books and goes directly to the
root of the matter. It refutes the
vaunted qualities of modern Grman
culture and shows that Russia has
more important and more spiritual
gifts for the world.

Mr. Welts is a prophet by use and

tells us in this book, in the tomorrow
than in the today. The past he re
gards simpty as material for future
guessing. Remembering his many
successful forecasts of previous years,
this latest volume, in which he deals
with social conditions after the war,
is possessed of great significance. '
