I New Books | Fiction. THE STRANGE CASES OF MASON BRANT. By Novil Monroe Hopkins Philadelphia. J. B. Lippincott company. $1.26. Wrtih the advance of applied science, with the law keepers be able to hold in check the lawbreakers? That is the startling question forced home o you in reading this thrilling record of crime and detection. The author i8 a scientist of international reputa- tion—the criminologists will sit up and take notice’ when they find the gentle art of murder develpped in smearing 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 tisn Mason Brant you'll never find—more weird problems, as suggested, have never been por- trayed. THE PRISONER. By Allce Brown. New York. The MacMillan company. $1.60. The central character of this book, the “Prisoner” of the title, is a young man who, with a brilliant career be- / fore him, makes a false step and 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 his entire future depends, is re- lated by Miss Brown in chapters of intense appeal and power. THE FALL OF A NATION. By Thomas au.:m New York. D. Appleton & Co. Thomas Dixon's 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 :‘amin. which men and women of e present generation would do well to heed if our glorious nation is to be preserved.

It is a resent day story—and quite as en- ning a piece of fiction as has 3 rom its distinguished MONSTER HUNTERS. By Francls g It-Wheeler. Boston. Lothrop, Lee & rd company. §1.26. .

By Herbert Brown, B. Sc. New York, The MacMillan company This set of laboratory exercises in general science is an outgrowth of courses given by the author in meth- ods of teaching secondary school sciences.

By John Cow- per Powys. Robert Rutter & Son, 410 East Thirty-second, New York City, §2. In this book the author has sought rather to indicate the personal reac- tion of his own mind under the stim- ulus of the famous masters, than to utter any ex-cathedra decisions.
