WHY MISS CORELLI WRITES NOVELS.

FAMOUS AUTHOR'S CONFESSION OF FAITH.

It is more than probable that Maris Corelli does not entirely approve of Mz. Bernard Shaw, but she has followed his example in writing for lior now novel, The Life Everlasting long explanatory preface all about herself and the ideas behind her work.

A NEW PLAGUE THEORY.

It is safe to say (saya the Calontis English man) that we have not yet arrived at any final, decision us to the various media for the trans mission of plagu Bome investigators, notably is a much-based victim that really he is not in Caloutta, maintain that the unfortunate rat the carrier of plague-infected flona; and the cam- paiga for his extemination is a useless and ex-- the other hand, the investigators are equally pensive institution, Id Western Indis, on

The world knows that Miss Corelli lives at the only, carrior of the infection. We have suphatic that the rat in the principal, if not Stratford-on-Avon, disapproves of reviewers, the testimony of the Director of the local enjoys enormous circulations, and possesses Bacteriological Laboratory, in addition to other vigorous opinions concerning many of the ten-independent investigators, in support of the rat dencies of modern life. In her prologue she theory. Be that as it may, all our preconceived tell us much more She begins by explaining ideas receive a shock when plague breaks out in why she has written the book

ON PROBATION. "

The "learning, and proving" has taken a long time. When A Romance of Two Worlds" was weldten the artist's range was limited.

The fact that she know a'l shout rodium years before the B itish Assolation quite naturally gves her the right to set herself against anthority without doubt or hesitation.

Lodge, who wandering among mazy infinities, conceives it Oven possible to communicate with departed spirits while I, who have no such weight of world authority and le roing behind me, tell you that such a thing is out of all natural law, and therefore can never be.

Natural law is indeed Miss Corelli's chief concern.

I saw how humanity, moved by gross egoism, has in every age of the world ordained laws and morsis for itself which are the very reverse of Natura's teaching-1 saw how, instead of helping the wheel of

progress and wisdom onward, man

reverses it by his obstinacy and turns it backward even on the very print

of great affainment-ant I was able to perceive how the sorrows and deapsirs of the world are caused by this one simple fact-Man working against Nature-while Nature, over -divine and invincible, pursues her God-appointed. course, sweeping her puny opponents aside and inflexibly carrying out her will to the end.

LIFE INDESTRUCTIBLE.

Nature must be obeyed The hams and bind- ing rags of a faire civilisation must be thrown off if man is really to Bud the joy of life. “And life, Miss Corelli contends, is indestructible.

Everything that lives must live for over. Everything that lives always lived. Every seal imprisoned to-day in human form has lived -in-human form before the very rose that flowers on its ateni has flowered in the world before. The

atory of The Life Everlasting" is less interesting than the preface, and is more di dactie and not so dramatic as most of Miss Corelli's writing. A young woman, "paychic," meeta a mysterious parson, Kafel Santoris,-who owns a wondrous yacht whose snails are elcoʻrical- ly propelled, and has discovered the secret of perpetual youth.

She learns that she has met Santoris in many previous lives, in ancient Egypt, in Rome, in Florence, and always outside circumstances or their own folly kept them apart. She falls in love with him, but she will not marry him until she has acquired the same mystis knowledge and the same mastery of self. that he possesses. To do this she goes away to a monastery and becomes the pupil of the eerie master, Acelzion, and there, after Hazy tests, she throws herself,

into the arms of

Waalth, happiness and knowledge are theirs. Bat Santoris is not encouraging con

the fate of the rest of us.
