- ' . / ...-' REVIEW.j
REVIEW. j Rabindranatb Tagore. A Biographical Study, by Ernest Rby-3. (Mac. miilan & Co., London, 58. net). This is a charming and fascinating biography of a man of rare genius, and no one who has read his works, and is able to judge win hesitate for a moment to place him in the 6ret rank of living poets. Perhaps no literary task is more dimcuft than that of writing the bio. grapby of a mystic, and yet Mr Ernest Rbys has succeeded to do his work remarkably well. No lover of Tagore shou!d ba without the book, which in addition to'its biographical interest will prove helpful as a key to his works. The author says of Tagore's Lyrics of Life and Love, entitled, 'The Gardener We may say about The Gardener' that, although there have been other Indian poets who have sung of love and mortal life, and others who have made hymns of divine adoration, none until be came was able to interpret in both kinds the spirit of the east to the people of the west. This is, in remem- bering India, he has not forgotten that bis songs and their tbemea must be subject to the whole reaim of art; and be baa made their accent universal." He is not oniy a 6ne poet, but a born ta!e-teller, and the autbor refers to him a3 a placo-cbarmer in bis stories. Rabindranatb Tagoro indeed is a place- cbarmer in bis tales. For him, housea have souts, old rains may be powerfoJE as witches in their sorcery, a rivef- stair can count the foot.faUs cf ages, and a door can remember its dead." The chapter on him as an educa- tionist is of great interest, and we in this country have a great deal to iearn from his educational methods. We most heartily commend the book to our readers.

REORGANISATION OF COAL TRANSPORT.
REORGANISATION OF COAL TRANSPORT. How it will affect North Wales. The new scheme issued under the direction of the Controller of Coal Mines has been published. Its object is to reorganise the transport of coal by rail for in- land consumption, and no person shall, after the 8tb September next, without the consent of the Controller, buy or sell, or offer to buy or sell, coal to be forwarded by public railway for inland con- sumption to any area other than those to which the coal in ques- tion may be so forwarded under the scheme. For regulating the distribution of coat Great Britain has been divided into twenty areas, of which North Wales forms one. As many people are not likely to peruse carefully all the details of the new scheme it is well to point out that the new mode of distribution will not affect the North Wales counties very much, except that no Lancashire large coal will bo allowed to come to North Wales for bouse and other purposes-only the grades known as peas, beans and nuts. Some Staffordshire bouse coal will be allowed, but less than before. North Wales colliers must not export any of their output to towns outside the area, but must keep it for consumption at home, but as these colliers do not pro- duce enough to supply the de- mands of North Wales, some Staffordshire large coal must be imported together with Lanca- shire peas, beans, and nuts al- ready referred to.
