be found pleasant onough to dip into, and although the serial stories running in it—" The Family," by E. Everett Green, and "Through Unknown Seas," by the writer who styles herself"Crone Temple " —are decidedly above the average, it contains no paper of out- standing excellence, unless we except The Jain Caves at Ellora," by Dr. Charles Mork, which appears in the series "The Religions of India, as Illustrated in their Temples." The passion for literary snippets—or the impatience of the ordinary reader with anything larger than a snippet —threatens seriously to injure the quality of magazine literature.
