rpHE most striking thing about n book
such as this is. the extraordinary
conviction which it must carry to the
....imiiiK ninn oi mo oDsoiuteiy pro
visional chnractcr of all our scientific
learning. Here is the careful gathering
together of an enormous mass of mate
rial, remains, Bhcll, stone, metal,
ceramic nnd other of man's prehistoric
life on tho globe, as variously described
and interpreted bv hundreds of investi
gators, with additional matter touch
ing geology, geography, climate and nil
tho sciences of llfo at one end, history,
philology, language, folkloro and ro
Hgion at tho other. It is fair to Pro
fessor Tyler to say that ho warns the
reaucr again and again of tho uncer
tainties of . interpretation, tho incom
pleteness of knowledge, tho dangers of
inference and the like. The process of
reading this book is like a perilous
journoy over floating cakes of iccvwlth
deep water and wldo water yawning
between. Wo aro secure on a littlo
island for a moment or two only to take
a, perilous leap to the next cake; we
balanco daintily on a neatly floating
assertion or slip on an inference which
wo fear is going to topple over with us,
only to repeat theso dangerous leaps
from one uncertainty to tho next. I
confess that when 'shoro was reached:
or was it only the bordering morass of
the folkloro margin of hlBtory? I
breathed a sigh of relief. .But solid
ground 'thcro can be none in such a
subject. I wonder tfh'orc solid ground
is left us anywhere, for that matter.
Wo used to find it in religion. But there
my solid ground was not your solid
ground. Wo used to find it in the laws
of gravitation. But Dr. Einstein with
his doctrino of relativity has upset all
that. We used to think that we were
conveying a sort of solidity in knowl
edge to tho young in oUr colleges and
universities. But Mr. Edison tells us
that college boys do not know any
thing. Do their professors? Dos, Mr.
Edison? Science is coming to be a dis
heartening affair.
OUT of the water wo came, out of the
ooze and slime; onto the land,
whero wo developed lungs; into the
trees, whero wo developed hands nnd
nrehensiblo tails: out of tho trees onto
Ijtho ground, .again, whero we learned to
apprehensive' instead of prcho'n'sive. And
now wo go back into the water with
out gills and up into tho air without
organic wings. Cave dwellings, pit

other big stones and structures, for
MYSTICISM
A Striking Guide to the Devel
opment of Man s Spiritual
Consciousness ,
"The Essentials of Mysticism," with
its complementary essays. s a complete
guide to the Interior or hidden life of
the spirit and the soul's flight abovonnd
beyond contemporary materialism in
quest of a more solacing and satisfy
ing objective pf life. Evelyn Under
bill, tho author, is perhaps tho most
sound nnd brilliant writer on the sub
ject, which has during and since the
war had a most pertinent revival of in
terest. She is its philosopher and poet,
as well as its historian and psychologist.
Iler books of poemi, "Immanence"
and "Theophanles," have refreshment
and nepenthe for the soul tlmt-is striv
ing to achieve or reacn itie invtsimo re
allties. "Mysticism," inclusive of
"The Mystic Fact," and "Tho Mystic
Way" is both a credo and a code; it
defines the theories of mysticism and
their relation to other philosophies, and
it sets forth o code of practice.
Tho, inspiration and the knowledge of
theso previous bookn reach a fine flow
ering and fruition in "The Essential
of Mysticism." It is historical, psy
chologic, deflnatorv and explanatory : It
states the theory and it discusses the
application ntrscen in tho lives ot mys
tics from tho pagan Plotlnus to tho
Christian contemplatives. Thero nre
many such oven at the present day, in
terested in the owakening, purification
and training of the self in its ascent of
the toilsome pntn which lends to tha
blessedness of the unitive nnd unlvcrsnl
life.
This is n book rich in possibilities of
spiritual comfort.

BUpcrotltious. Thctnlo Of prehistoric
man 'is fascinating for what wo' know,
even more so as to what wo dp not

tho least certain. I cannot make out
what it is that distinguishes a 'man from

how speech arises in man? Wcro there

or at least one more scientific than
that of Prometheus as to' that ma
mentous step, the discovery by man of
the use of arc? Did property bege'b. the
idea of strongholds, or only 'the im
pulso 'of'thb hunted beast to .escape nn
enemy? Things like this are discussed
less in hooks of thjs kind than ques
tions as to whence came the Aryans, for
example. Professor Tyler , registers
carefully the, wlno words of warning,
uttered long ago by Max Muller, ns to
tho word Aryan; how it means "neither
blood, nor bones, nor hair, nor skull,"
but merely language. But the rest of
this very chapter generalizes at once as
to races, customs, Celts, Indo-Euro-peans
and the like. Tho origin of Aryan
culture in the North, tho East or the.
West seems a trivial matter. Suppose
wo can put the finger on the snot
whereon lived tha first Aryan family.
Would It matter And who was Mr.
Aryan's grandfather? And, pray,
what was Mrs. Aryan's mother's family
after all? I rather suspect that this
wholo subject of origins in northern
"kultur" among tho Germans is a
learned bit of that propaganda to which'
tho war opened our ycs, Frofcssor
Tyler has what seems to mo a strango
notion to the effect that the Teutonic
stock, "wcro never good mixers." Good
mixers is precisely what they are.
Goths, Vandals, Lombards. Northmen.
Normans, Angles, nil arc Teutonic and
all mixed admirably with whatever
people they came into contact with,
taking on new languages, customs and
what not. .The mixed blood of these,
tho ruling peoples of the earth, is their
glory.
HOWEVER It may beget question, It
is just such popular gathcrings-in
and appraisements of what the learned
world is doing that help us laymen in
our doubts and thcrcforo in our arduous
steps in knowledge. Iti is interesting
to know just what domestic animals
tho lako dwellers had, 'and it Is pleasant
to surmise the agricultural occupations
of prehlhtoric woman. But I wonder
who mado the first needle or invented
tho safety pin which was not un
familiar among tho Etruscans. I am
not sure that such questions aro quite
as profitable ns surmises,' between 'COOfl
nnd 20,000 years B. C, for the be
elnnlnea of Neolithic man. How wo are
obsessed with beginning's and endings I
Perhaps there never was a first man,
or he may have "occurred" simul
taneously or successively in a scoru of
places. And perhaps there is to be no
end. The old philosopher who recog
nized only "becoming," an eternal state
of change and flux, most closely
guessed at truth. Wo aro on our way,
whence nnd whither? Do we know?
We may fcuess theologically, scientifi
cally or metaphysically; all these
guesses ate merely different points of
view. Satisfying answer there is none.
But why should anybody bo satisfied?

ion's latest novel, one is .In ivmood to
find delight in one of the roiiyanna
books. Life, as Mr. Tarktngton sees
It in this story, is a drab and depress
ing' thing, unrelieved by light or joy.
And" when, the hope of happiness stint
one 'of thtNchafacters for a few wreks
it Is only to havo It withdrawn, Just
ns one thpught happiness was to come.
No fault can be found with what Mr.
Tarkington has done. Ills novel; so
far as It goes, Is. brilliantly real. But
if. .In.a nnt iro far pnotlgh. It gives
only one sido of life nnd that tho un-'
pleasant muo.
Ti.n hnnV in Kn atnrv of one summer,
in tho life of a girl of twenty-two in a,
small western city. Her father is tho.
VionH nt thn ftunnlv doDartment in a,
large drug store. When ! she 'was a'
school girl sho was popular with' the
boys and girls of her. own age, .regard.'
less of tho comparatlr'e.poverty 6f her
father nnd the wealthier tho parents
of her companions!' .But as the chil
dren grew' up the1 sons and, daughters
of the- rich associated, more 'and more
with eneanother andsho was gradually
left out;, ThiirMs what is happening
everywhere in the United States today.
So thentory of, Alice; is the story of
a type. Hcr tragedles'aro tho tragedies
of tens' of thousands of young girls.
Her play-acting .with, life, her pretenses
that, her vfdther' Is 'an eccentric who
prefers, to. Jive a,a shabby houso, her
poso1 of, happiness nnd delight at a ball,
nt which" she finds only ono1 danctnf
partner beside her brother, although
tho young' mon were, tho grown-up
boys who used to sit on her front steps
a few years earlier, aro her attempts
to reallto the romance for which she
longs. , She puts on a brava; face in
public and weeps In private until dis
aster overtakes hca father, and her
mothc. takes boarders, and Alice hcr
self'entsrs a business college determined
to earn her own living. Thcro is pathos
in u fnr thftftn xvhn have the eyes- to
see it, tho same kind of pathos that
thero is when the same thing happens
in life. But Mr. Tarkington has lef tout
tho bright Btae 01 ti, or u " -very
littlo of'lt. Therp is "not always
nfMArin hfttween tho fathers ana
mothers of such' girls. Tho Wives are
not always nagging. Tho efforts or
families 'of modefato means to give a
dinner In fashionable stylo are not-al-waystragic.
.If Mr. Tarkington had
a little profounder'lovo and sympathy
for his fellow 'men ho would take a
little broader view of life than ho has
taken in this volume. If-.thp tale had
been told with tenderness instead of
with the coldness of nn anatomical dis
sector In a medical college, it would
have come near being a great novel,
for it would havo tho vitality, without
which no novel can live.

huBband inherits tho estate of some
distant kinswomen only a few days Be
fore he dies, had been a lone spinster
when she married. She had longed for
love nnd thought It bad come to her,
but she discovered that Mr. Wimperley
had married her because ho was sorry
for her after the woman whom he did
love had refused to marry him. She
hnd no children, but she took into her
home tho baby daughter of a Bailor lost
at sea. Tho mother had died in child
bed. Tho girl grew up without know
ing that tho Wimperleys were riot her
parents. The wife did not want to
tell her. for she wished the affection of
a daughter. If becomes necessary to
confess that the girl s not a Wim

his daughter. Then there happens
what tho poor women dreaded. Ihe
girl turns on her foster-mother and
blames her for deceiving her. But In
the end the girl becomes gratful for
what has been done for her and the
poor childless foster-mother at last
gets some real affection untainted with
the knowledge in her own heart that
she is not entiucu to 11. j. uvc oiui j

with the history of the wooing of

A Book That Has Survived
When David W. Bone wrote "The
BrnsBbounder" (E. P. Dutton & Co.)
In 1010 it is not likely that he thought
it would prove of such permanent value
that the publishers would think It worth
while to bring out n new edition of it
In 1021. But this Is whnt has hap
pened. Mr. Bone, who served seven
vonra In snlllnir shins in his youth, is
now the commander of the royal mail
nhip Columbia, of the Anchor Lino.
William McFee, another seafaring man
who has written of the sen, is only a
cinet engineer. v-uimiu uut .muto
from a writing, ancestry, as his father
was a Glasgow journalist. His book is
an accurate and picturesque descrip
tion of the life on a sailing vessel. There
is no fino writing in it, as that term is
commonly used. He tells his tale
strulght on In the lingo of the sea. It
i; because It is a fine picture of a life
thnt is passing, if it has not already
pnMd, that It hns survived the season
In which it wns published.
J Short Stories by Morley
Orisrophcr Morley has gathered eleven
short, stories into a volume which ho
calls "Tales from n Ilolltop Desk"
(Doubleday, Page & Co.) They are
nearly all humorous or whimsical and
told with the delightful twist which
nearly everything acquires thnt passes
through the brain of the author. The
concluding story, however, "Referred to
the Author," is n serious study of n
curious psychological problem. If it
does not ultimately appear In an an
thology of ghost stories, it will not be
because it does not deserve that distinc
tion. And it is a ghost story in which
no formal attempt is made to explain
the ghot.

This book is for the muny
friends of flowers who live in
Nantucket, for others who have
felt the lure of this happy hunt
ing ground; for all who find
pleasure in the distinct and vn
ned flora of that unique island.
From early times the island
people have, shown a continued
interest in 'their wild flowers,
and the r devotion is equaled by
the enthusiasm of visitors. In
this book, both author and illus
trator describe with all possible
accuracy and not too many tech
nicalities, the representative
trees and flowers.
