Domville-Fife, author o he United States of Brazil,” etc. York: The Macmillan Com- pany. HIS book is for the man who is keen to the business chance. It is a survey of South Amer- ica, state by state, to bring to the surface of each of these those facts and conditions that stand for iness opportunity. It is, therefore, a hook of solid fact, a compact and handy volume of inclusive informa- tion. Fach state is set out in its partnership of climate and soil, in its surface features, in its mineral stores. Upon this foundation are erected such industries as at present exist, such commerce as has, up to the present, been established. Around these facts open many vistas of further develop- ment in lines of manufacture and trade. It an eminently practical study. having been built in direct re- to the flood of queries which British consulates of the South n continent receive on the with which it deals. As it it is a compendium of substan- nformation, a revised edition nging up to date a body of knowl- spo the edge that has already proved its value. THE SOUL OF JOHN BROWN. By am, author of “With ants to America,” ete. negro slaves were released in Where do the children of the ©s stand today?’ By way of the k in hand Stephen answer to the qu I for it is of his own gathering st hand out of the states of Vir- ieorgia, Alabama, Florida, ce. as he took his leisurely -way through this region. He sees the new negro, and, of necessity, he sees the white man, too. In what looks like an honest and certainly an in- telligent looking around he picks olit the good and promising things that surround this complex life of the south, and he points quite fearlesely to the shameful things that prejudice and bitterness and misunderstanding foster and encourage. The book is frank and it seems to be fair-minded. But it is, after all, a futile book. Not in its intent, not in its character—but in its certain effect. Those who could profit by it will not read it. The others agree entirely and do not need it phen Graham is, in a way, dis- qualified for writing books. You see, he loves folks, and, foolishly, some say. he pities so many of them—the immigzrant, the negro, certain rich men and So on. At once he comes into the name and reputation of senti- mentalist—and then he's done for. However, read this book. You may not see out of the author's eyes—but read it. SEED OF THE SUN. By Wallace Ir- win, author of “Venus in the East,” etc. New York: George H. Doran Company. Three lines of interest interweave here. One is the story. One is the background. One is the problem. The story concerns itself with two New York girls who experiment with a fruit farm on the Pacific coast. The background is the orchard section of California, the location of the little fruit plantation. The problem is that of the Japanese settler in this region. The three combine to form & dramatio and highly _picturesque _romance, wherein the two attractive farmer- ettes are less successful in raising prunes than they are in developing two cases of matrimony. And that is to be expected. A very plausible and engaging to-do, this, with a couple of natural and winning girls as principals. It is, however, the character and the method of the Jap- anese settler, working out, day by alongside of his American neigh- bor, that gives the novel its high mark. Mr. Irwin holds himself well in hand here. He does not push the point. He merely records the situa- tion. The effect is immediate and striking. The background is one of great beauty—such as the fruit coun- try of the Pacific coast holds in a peculiar charm. This novel marks, up to the present moment, Mr. Lrwin's best invention. OUR PETER.

The-necessity ‘was never more-urgent, as it is boy to man, might be the story of any average youth, moving through the generally uneventful set of cir- cumstances that sum life. This is not <o much an invention as it is a record a series of photographs illuminated hundreds of spiritual snapshots picturing the growth of Peter's char- acter in his particular setting of fam- ily, and friends, and locality. Mr. ! Woden is quite clear In his literary purpose here. More than this, he is |in competent possession of the means of meeting this purpose. Motive and action, these go tallying throughout this story, to the end that a rounded | character, with whose development one is put in constant touch, stands out as the consummation and triumph of the compieted work jtself. A fresh approach joins with the sineerity of these innumerable contacts. Touches of humor and gayety lighten the stretches of homely and familiar ac- | tion. A sense of good building domi- nates the workmanship throughout. “Our Peter” is Mr. Woden's second triumph in fiction that is dréwn straight from life itself. SAMUEL LYLE, CRIMINOLOGIST. 3y Arthur Crabb. Illustrated by 8.C. Coll. New York: The Century Company. | This group of detective stories | atands out from the common run by |virtue of the authors trained and chastened ambition in respect to his inventions along this line. There is |no welter of blood and murder here. {There is no slough of underworld life. On the contrary, the crimes. | while of a character to draw out the tense interest of the community and | the highest skill of the detective, are, | nevertheless, lacking in the usual ex- crsses of detective-story crimes. And the people among whom these lapses {0f honest human nature are placed are of the higher lift—polite and in- teresting folks of the happy play- jworld of wealth. Within this me- {dium the author does delightfully { skillful work, finished work, under {the leadership of Samuel Lyle, able |lawyer. expert criminologist, shrewd detective and all-around good fel- low. The stories, painstaking and sincere at bottom, have an easy and waywise flair that deepens, greatly, the attraction of the usual detective story. SONS OF THE SEA. By Raymond McFarland, author of “Skipper John of the Nimbus,” etc. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons. The ton of a self-made man, more often than otherwise, sets out in life with a handicap. The father, under the notion that he wants for his son an easier time than he himself had, provides the handicap. This common fact supplies t ting point of the story in hand. “Scott King will never be the man that his father was,” grew to a village proverb. The tale is a refutation of the common belief. Once waked to the value of holding up the King tradition, young Seott becomes the heroic and dominant figure in a series of exciting sea adventures in the fishery fields of the north Atlantic region. Dangers and escapes follow one another with a rapldity that keeps the reader in a turmoil of apprehen- sion and rellef—to be followed by another seizure of apprehension and relief. ITn a quite remarkable man- ner the author brings the reader into immediate touch with the sea itself— with its angers, its frightfulneas, its effect of being something alive and designing. A romance lightens the dangers that would, otherwise, make the tale a bit too strenuous and exact- ing. A first-class sea story, that does not at the moment suggest any suc- cessful rival among the current stories of this sort. KALEEMA. By Marion McClélland. New York: The Century Company.
