Eloquence, realistic beauty and a most touching humanity mark everything he attempts. “Memories and Vagarles” is a collection of sketches written early in his life; just at the commence— ment of his professional career. Though he was still young enough to express himself with spontane— ous youthfulness, he had already acquired a poetic personality, quick to sense the moods of people, quick to visualize their feelings and imagine their thoughts. The result is delightful. . The stories in “Memories and Vagaries" deal, for the most part, with the poorer class of Italians in Paris and Naples in whom the young doctor was especially inter- ested. These are grimly pathetic and so essentially human that we feel we know his characters inti- mately. Sympathy and an aston- ishing humanness are the domi— NEW BOQKS NON-TECHNHCAL Coblentz, Stanton A.

Every type of candle is made from this wax, some being made for orn- amental purposes, some for the light that they give, and still oth- ers for religious uses. Arriving at the end of the wax trail, the fire protects again looked to the oil. By this time it had been separated from the wax and was being distilled in huge tanks. Then, the heavy hydrocarbons that were left were pumped to other stills where they were cracked under high pressure and temperature. The first two products were gaso- lines marketed by the Standard Oil Stations. The next batch of distillate was made into kerosene. The heavier hydrocarbons that were left from the other processes were made into oils. Finally, the heaviest of the parafiins became greases of various kinds. The remainder, a black, gritty-appearing mass, was then shoveled into a car to be sold as coke. A new improvement over the old method of purifying oils, that does away with the irritating odor of sulfuric acid has been perfected. An innovation in this design pre— vents fumes from getting into the air. One of the interesting plant fea- tures was a huge battery or print— ing presses that made all the boxes and containers for the by-products. Byuproducts include candles, medi— cines and furniture polishes.

Meet Don Geatono, “who did not die of starvation, and that was about all he asked of life"; Monsieur Alfredo, wrote wrote wildly tragic plays which no one ever saw. “The only audience the poor old man ever had was me; why then, shouldn’t I applaud him. a little, he whom life had so unmercifully hissed?" And Raffaello and Philomene and the Salvatore family; all so real that we expect to lift our eyes from the page and see them before us in the bitterness and sorrow of ac- tuality. There may be humor, but it is grim stuff. other sketches possess a light touch which everyone can enjoy. These are not about people; they are about the dogs of a small island off Naples, ”who, like the Ancient Romans, devote a greater part of ARMOUR TECH NEWS their day to public life.” Munthe, with apt metaphors and brilliant consistence of personification, pre— sents an almost rollicking descrip- tion of their organization and du- ties as an integral partof the scene of Capri, the island. Because of his deep love for all living things and his sympathetic nature, he is able to ascribe to their every action a motive so human” that we cannot fail to be amused. A few short essays are included in the book. These, because they are simply expressions of opinion, are perhaps not as suited to the author’s style or special ability. They are exactly what we might expect of any intelligent, educated young man; no better and no worse. I liked “Memories and Vagaries” for its beauty, its touching appeal to the senses, and because it was the most interesting writing I had seen for many months. mantra unreal BETA PS! Mr. C. I.
