Clerk of Stores Dies at Hospital VAN DOREN TAKES NOTE OF FALLACY REGARDING BOOKS There May Be Alliance Between Popularity and Greatness in Literature. fISTINCTION between "greatness and popularity", 'in oonnectlon with literature Is not always with the proper nicety, aays Carl Van Doren, writing; of the matter in the March Forum. In fact, "a book may be genuinely (treat without being In the least popular," la his opinion, and, conversely, may have immense popularity without possessing any of the qualities of greatness. Ana this carelessness causes the critics a good deal of annoyance, It seems. When they find the great book entering the world unwelcomed except by the discerning few, while another book arouses a commotion utterly disproportionate to Its merits, then the public Is condemned for .Its "trivial estimates, natural bad taste," or even may be accused of an, "Instinctive aversion to excellence." Mr. Van Doren here warns the critics, however, not "to slip Into the error of thinking that because consethere Is a distinction there quently an opposition between these qualities,"' for, in reality, he says, "the distinction is so- great that ,no exists. A book may be opposition great without being popular or popular without being great; but It may also be at once great and popular." DISTINCT QUALITIES. 'What makes it great does not necessarily keep It from being popular," he explains; nor, on the other hand, need the qualities which make it popular keep It from greatness. "In fact, the elements of greatness and of popularity have been ovnfused for the reason, most of all, that they are very frequently seen together. Association has lllogkally been regarded as relation, as with religion and morals. To distinguish between the associated elements, analysis haa to go behind their ordinary appearances and to inn sist, with what may seem precision, urJl their essence. "Still, the distinction is not especially hard to make or to express. A book la great when It speaks to the best, minds. It is popular when It speaks to the most minds." EXAMPLES CITSD. Without discussing the questions which such a ffltment mmv nailnn as to which are the best minds, Mr. Van rywen goes on to Illustrate his argument. He cites as an illustration of true greatness In literature, D mghty's "Arabia Deserta," a book which has none of the element of popularity. It la described as "..I poem, conceived on an ample ronie, developed with abundant power, written in an idiom which had to be created for the purjysse, an idlnm at once rich, noble, stately, flexible and exact." And "every paragraph bears some mark of greatness In the writer." vet, lie .says, few who have bought It, listened to excited rumor about it, "seem able to prove that they have read beyond a rew harmonious pages." On the other hand. Mr. Van Por"n finds In "The Americanlaation ft E Bok" almost none of the ele ments of greatness." Which may tie questioned by some readers who have given the book high praise. Mr, Van Doren grants to Mr. Bok's story, however, every quality wnleh make a lxok rpular. But 'i6 ie great, a hook must somehow exhibit or suggest a spacious world,- - with implications at here or there of magnificent whereas horizons," the bounds of Kdward Bok's universe art 1 wire-draw- the volume which Is equally great and popular "great enough to arouse continual wonder in the most penetrating and detached mrnde." and "popular enough to have become a classic of the nursery." In achieving this, however, Swift has written, he points out. "two books In one" first, his romantic narrative of giants and pigmies, and behind that his satirical estimate of the race of humans which he held In contempt. In conclusion, the test of a writer's greatness, Mr. Van Doren states, lies in "his ability to stann a little without and above the materials of a book, and thus to command them, whether In hate or In love." While he who is merely popular "may be sunk in his materials without notable 111 Periodicals THE MODERN WORLD.

Astrology as a science has been gradually diminishing in interest since the seventeenth century, but there is still a fascination for many people In the study of the stars and their supposed Influence over human lives. Mr. Gaston's Interpretation of the subject will undoubtedly furnish en-- , trtalnment, if only rr the sake of comparison, as he suggests in his foreword, as to views concerning the directing Influences of human existence held by wise men uf old and those of the modern world. In the study of the planets, the author declares, he has found that a penyn's characteristics can be determined with surprising accuracy from the period In which he wjj! born, but that no evidence existsWf forecasts of the future being made with any exactitude. The book is Intended to 'confute the claims of ."those who have made the science of astrolupon ogy a "r, rt of antique which to hang garments of absurd conjecture. Beliefs of the old astrologers have been discredited by modern scientific knowledge. Just as modern chemistry brought ridicule upon the ancient alchemists who believed that the baser metals could be transmuted into gold. Yet. Mr. Gaston points out, chemists In recent years have come to believe the ancient theory of transmutation of metals may have basis In fact. Therefore, it may yet be proved that the astronoger in his divination of the stars was not without grounds of truth. 14, 1927.
