SCRIBNER'S.
Mr. C. A. Tinker, an American airman who was stationed at Howden aerodrome, discovered in Selby Abbey a mediaeval window with the Washington arms. He describes the abbey in an elaborately illustrated article and conjectures, perhaps rashly, that the window may date from the early twelfth century, so that it would be the oldest relic of the Washington family. Professor Pupin of Columbia, continuing his remin- iscences, entitled "From Immigrant to Inventor," describes his experiences at Cambridge some forty years ago, when he studied under Clerk Maxwell. Commander McIntosh, in " The Western Tide of Peoples," defends the American restrictions on immigration. Incidentally he says that large tracts of rural New England are now given up to Latins or Slays, before whom the old inhabitants have fled.
