The atmosphere of culture which pervades every part of the university is the truest cause of Oxford's great- ness. Dali indeed must the student be whole not touched and deeply influ- enced by this great force during his. nhiverlty life. it strikes the foreign- er immediately. The first evidence or it comes perhaps in the course 0f the drst conversation in a'students room. at which he happens to be present. He will not fail to notice the correctness oi expression. and usually the vigor l and freshness of thought. which are the salient characteristics of the con- versation of the best Oxford men. ()1 course there are exceptions. There are frequent examples of the literary dude in Oxford as well as anywhere else of the man who sacrifices all pretense to sincerity and soundness to a momen- tary and half cheap. epigrammatic brilliant-y of expression. But this Is not true of the average Oxford man.— iiarvard Bulletin.

" though his not mobsbie that many persons road it nowadays. There are so many illustions to it in our litera- ture. however, that cite absorbs some sort of a nation of it so that he can- not holp knowing that u. is a weird and ghastly story about a monster, but whether or not Frankenstein is the monster oven well informed people do not always know. showing that they never read the story. Sometimes we hear alllusionn to "i‘rankcnstein' s monster," as in one of Charles Sumner's orations. where he speaks of the ”soulless monster of Frankenstein. the wretched creation of mortal science without God,‘ and sometimes the reference in to Frank— contain only, as if he were the man- ster.01 course sumner. who was very Particular 111 his use of figures of speech, was right. When Mrs. Deland, in her fine novel of "Sydney." makes Major lice say that "Christianity 1s a, Frankenstein." she suffers the major to talk nonsense. The story of this weird novel one the circumstances under which it came to be written are decidedly interesting and may be told in a few words. The facts are as follows: in 1816 Mary Godwin. afterward Mrs. Shelley. sloped with Shelley. and they took up their residence near Ge- neva, in Swltserland. They had lord Byron for a neighbor. and the three passed mug time together. Their con- versation ll'equontly ran on the occult and the mysterious. and Byron one day proposed that each should write a All agreed and went to work. but it was not long before the two poets gave it up as a hopeless task. They could write poetry. but they could not write sffirles. Mary resevered and completed her tale in the spring of 1817. When By- ron and Shelley heard it read, they were surprised and delighted. it was bound to be the novel of the century: The name of it was "Frankenstein; or. The Modern Prometheus." it was im- mediately sent to London for publica- tion and met with great suc ens. Frankenstein is a Swiss y th. a stu- dent deeply interested ln the study of chemistry and natural philosophy. lie resolves to penetrate the mysteries 0. life dud death and wrest from nature the secret of creation. After prolong- ed study he succeeds and discover: how to impart movement and ammo- tfon to lifeless matter. He then resolves to mold a colossal man. making him beautiful in form and feature and imbue him with life. He carries on his work 'in a studio far from the habitations of man, labors long and secretly. and at last the work In completed. There in the great room lies the form and semblance of a hu- man belng, perfect in all his propor- tions. Frankenstein relates the story: "it was on n dreary night in Novem- ber that l behold the accomplishment of my tolls. With an anxiety that al- most amounted to agony l collected the instruments of life around me that i might infuse a spark of being into the lifeless thing that lay at my feet. "it was already 1 o'clock in the morning. The rain pattered dismally against the window panes. and my candle was nearly burned out. when. by the glimmer of the half extinguish- ed light. i saw the dull yellow eye of the creature open. it breathed hard. and a convulsive motion agitated it» limbs." Slowly the immense creature arose. and the artist. frightened at his own work, fled away. Then he returns to find his creation possessed of life and every attribute of humanity except a soul. Nowhere can it find human symv pathy. it is out of harmony with all things about it. and after searching the world in pursuit of. happiness it returns againto Frankenstein and do. mands that he make a companion with whom it can live in sympathy ant. love. Frankenstein declines. and thence- fOrth the monster pursues him with hatred and revenge. It niays his broth- ers and sister. his friend and his bride. it follows him to Russia. to Siberia and into the Arctic ocean, and there creature and artist perish together. it is a most uncanny story to read 0 nights. Sir Walter Scott reviewed the novel in The Quarterly, but while admitting its power confessed he dlu not like it "Our taste and our juus'neat revolt at this kind of writing." .1] the critics agreed as to its da'rlng originality.» Chlcago Post.

The fireworks afimt ofi‘ Grant's Tomb and Ward's island, the display finally commingllng in a grand climax off the Battery. while all the islands 1n the bay blazed with scenic. nplondors. was s gllrgeous close to the first stage in New York's welcome to Admiral Dew- , ey. At night the city was given over to merrymuklng. Fashionable throngs filled the principal restaurants. drink- ing. standing toasts. lth ciinltiug glasses, while hands a orchestras played inspiring martial airs. At the theatres all patriotic or' timely "lines" interpolated for the occasion were re- ceived with tremedous applause. Fifth avenue, at Madison Snuare. was a seething mass of lightahearted people. with the usual accom'pltuimenf of rays- terlng youngsters and jostling stuo dents. New York went to bed into. very tir- ed, but bent on the marrow, when the climax of the celebration will be seen ashore. GREAT PYROTECIIIIC DISPLAY. .Iero Picturesque Sight Never Witness- ed bv so horse a Crowd. it was almost. 9:30 o'clock when the night's entertainment began officially. Half a dozen times in the hour and a half before the rising of burst of col- ored globes and the hanging of bombs brought the rumor that the processions must be approaching. Way off on the Staten island shore there rose rockets that dropped long red strings of lights that turned first white and then blur- ’ as they floated off. and these were cheered and people said "it's started.’ but it hadn't started by a great. great deal. as they found out. when at 9:30 o'clock with a rattlc of reports almost as rapid as that of a machine gun.u great flight of bombs went twinkling up toward the sky and banged again with flashes in mid-air. This. according to the programme. was a salute of 101 serial bombs. A great flight of rockets that burst into flouting crowds of irridesccnt globes. rose over (love nor's island. and while they were affirming. and bursting and spreading d floating. tinting the clouds that were slowly gathering above them, the whole island sprang into blaze—red and white and blur lights. Old Castle Williams rose out of the darkness and was crowned with similar flares. it was as if the island had risen out ot the sea and had ex- ploded. and was still exploding. and before people had half tilled their eyes with the glory of it. Betilow's island flashed up the same way, and the. Sta- tue of Liberty lifted her torch ill thc plain sight of the tens of thousands and the lights about her feet lit a halo over her head that changed in color as the lights changed. Before these had abated at all. and while Governor's island was still a floating volcano. El- lis island illuminated up and the whole hay was illuminated until the water looked like. molten metal. with queer discolored streaks shooting across its surface in every direction. The ships that had been mysterious glittering outlines and suggestions of lights. stood out in ghostly clearness, The crowd held its breath and for seconds together there was absolutely no sound encept the explosions of the months and in the mortars that firm! other bombs in the air. Between explosions it was so still that you could hear flu- wnvcs splashing on the sea-wall. Just as the crowd began to get its breath the fireworks men ncur (‘astlc Williams let off a succcssion of bombs that took the shine off the sun, the moon and the stars. The flight Was so arranged that the first great crowd of bombs burst and shed a canopy over the whole island. it led oubtful whe- thcr anybody in all that crowd remem- bered just what color those were, for another flight. and another and another was shot up through them. so that as fast as the first lights faded and fell new clouds of fire more glorious and briliant and of more startling coloring. appeared over and above them. Then the captain of the big steam- boat Plymouth. out in the middle of the harbor. turned his whistle loose. The whistle is so deep and course that it shakes the windows all over the lower part of Manhattan when it goes off at full blast. All the other captains in the harbor joined in. and the volume of sound grcw deeper and deeper, and fuller and fuller, and the sirens screamed and screamed a wierd accom- paniment. so that the crowd. realizing how fully the steamboats had taken the rendering of approval out of its hands. began to laugh. The laughter of 40.— 000 people is not a thing that any who were in places where they could hear ’ it will ever forget. When fireworks people make out a programme they fill it full or a sur- cession of very interesting names of various kinds of rockets, and bombs. and saucissons, and things. but the people who see the fireworks don't know anything about these names. and very often don't know where rockets leave off and naucissons begin. simply know that the world is upside- down and all on fire. At the end last night from ten feet above the water line to 500 feet in the air. the air was , fhll of fireworks of every description known from the beginning of all fire- works. Right in the midst of it all a tremendous portrait of Admiral Dewey appeared to the east of Castle Williams in outlines of white fire. it was as high if not higher than the castle itself. and was a much more satisfactory likeness than a good many that we have about us now-a-dsys. The racket that greet- ed the picture was be rid descrip- ing: it was the racket o the morning parade all over ag in condensed into one spot. for whfl the great portrait burned. every captain in the harbor seemed to turn his ship's course toward it. while he tooted. it unfortunately resulted fr the picture being shut off from the view of the people on shore after the first few seconds. except those who were on top of high buildings. But the fleet up to Grant's Tomb must have heard the roaring homage that was . paid to the. portrait. The rain began then. and the fire- works were finished just in time.
