Natural curiosity and a sort of universal sporting instinct prompt men to speculate on the unknown and thus account for the average prediction. The future, however, is relative, in importance, since what it produces must be more beneficial or di nstrous to humanity in same things than in others. It is not to be

After all though strategy is said to have undergone na aterial change since lannibal's time each war largely makes the conditions under which it must be fought. For instance, vient as the value of sea-power undoubtedly is, if Russia had had a good railway service on the trans-Siberian line and no internal pains to cramp her limbs, it is very questionable whe ther the japanese could have made any great headway in Korea or Manchuria. On the other land, to a sea-girt and colonial nation like Great Britain command of the sea is the first thing essential. Again, the present war demonstrates very markedly the importance of discipline and high strategy; in the Boer war what counted was individual resourcefulness, which deeded little or no command or planning ff any nation should become solely possessed of some exceptionally deadly tool or mi sile such as the Prussians once bad in the breech-

What is surprising is that the ascertained results on which such ag effort is necessarily based indicate that war is at least na more deadly than it used to be. Quite a different conclusion has been generally anticipated, and only three or four years ago, when the liner war was progressing, many thoughtful people, teici gly distilling a soul of good out of things evil, were arguing that life-taking machinery was being perfected so fast that presently war would be rendered impossible by is sheer terrors.

AN HISTORICAL WORK.
INFORMATION DESIRED,
A literary query of much local interest has been addressed by Dr. Hanitsch, Curator of the Raffles Museum and 1. ibrary, to the Editor, privately, un which we regret 10 say we have no information available. The matter being one of such historical interest as regards the earlier affairs of the Malay Peninsula, wc, in hope that publicity may atract the attention of some one who may thrown light on the subject, now print Dr. Hinitsch's note :-
I have received a heiter from Mir. Boosé
Libration of the Colonial Institute in which he
writes as follows :—
in this war.
Indeed, if the lessons of the Russo-Japanese war were to be made hard and fast, fighting men would acquire some principles that would worry them when they went about their trade. For this has been a war of siege and of close grips. A supposedly impregnable fortress has had to be taken by methods as old as Carthage except that modern tools were used; and in the battles the combatants have been at each other's throats as they were at Waterloo or Blenheim. Proficiency in hand to hand fighting mere muscular strengil or dexterity, is therefore an essential on this teaching, and the bayonet, so far from being banished, is an indispensable soldiering tool. The obvious truth is that wars are fought under various circumstances which necessitate various forms of strategy and tactics. Cause produces effect here as elsewhere, how ever, and one of the remarkable results of the development of arms is that the fighting line is chormiously extended. At Waterloo, Lord
une is obtained, as is shown in the failure of lyddle to asphxiate the enemy. Every war teaches something and inventive genius is eter- nalty seeking to produce weapons more fatal than known of, so that, again, every war is to some extent fought on new lines. But when it comes to main principles, one as old as the hills stands out before all others, namely, that the best chance of success is with the nation that is best prepared with men and munitions.

Gorki became the exponent of a new school in Russian literature and among his followers
Paderewski has given his views to an inter-are almost all the giked younger Russian
viewer upon pianoforte teaching, and upon composers and pianists of the day. As to teaching, he states:-"The greatest defect is the lack of attention to lune, which is too often sacrificed almost entirely to manipulative dex- terity. Another grave defect is the neglect of rhythm, and phrasing generally. Then, again, the ordinary pianist is often a man of marrow sympathies. The music student is not suffi- ciently encouraged to develop the intellectual and the poetic side of the nature. On the one hand, be should study the philosophical works of the present day, and of past ages; and on the other, he should read the best of the world's poetry. Of course, it will be a great advantage to him to know German and French, so that be any read the works of great German and French writers in the language in which they were written. Another serious defect that one often encounters in pianoforte leaching is a failure to develop the individualny of the student. Pianists are turned out by the thou sands every year, just as blanc-mange is turned out of a mould." Speaking of the composers

writers, such as Andrɩyer, Skit-Jetz, Bunia and
Chirikov. Gorki has written two novels, Foma Gordeyer" and "The Three," and three volumes of short stories. Several revo- lationary articles and poems by him were published in Germany.
"The Peasant,"
which promised to be one of his very best stories, appeared in the Russian magazine Zaizn. which, was latter suppressed "The Peasant" remained unfinished. During the last four years, Gorki has published three plays, but he has devoted most of his time to the revolutionary movement. Now that all eyes are centred on this remarkable young Russian, it will be particularly interesting to have the following most characteristic extra ts from his unfinished novel, "The Peasant," for the first time in English.
