Art of Intelligent Book Reviewing Disappearing in America Says Critic
The art of intelligent book reviewing is disappearing in the United States. That was the opinion expressed by Mrs. Florence Florech Kelly, authorese and literary critic, of New York City, in a short talk before the Short Story class in the Journalism Building, Wednesday morning.
Mrs. Kelly has been connected with the book review deartment of the New York Times for the past sixteen years and is in touch with all phases of modern literary endeavor and literary criticism. Before she went to the New York Times she established the Los Angeles Times, under the management, green to be one of the strongest departments of that paper.
Mrs. Kelly is a writer of books as well as reviews. One of her books well received recently is "What America Did." One of her latest efforts is in the fiction line and has been very heavily handled by the reviewers and critics entitled "The Diva's." Many of her other books of fiction have sold well.
Mrs. Kelly thinks that there should be a greater interest in books and book reviews in the Middle West. She says that the publishers of the East West are a good market for books. She establishes the establishment of a book review syndicate in each of the middle states which will furnish readable and intelligent reviews of the latest in season productions as well as in fiction.
America is flooded, with too much fiction and not enough biography according to Mrs. Kelly. America is full of interesting and vital characters whose lives will furnish inspiration to the writer who is equipped to write worth while biography, she claims.
Mrs. Kelly believes that American fiction and especially the short story is becoming standardized. The teaching of the short story in our schools has been a way to a closer and more appreciative view of the Victorian writer, she says.

SEEK FOR TREASURE IN RIO DE JANEIRO
Steam Shovels and Streams of Water Feature In Search For Money
Rio De Janeiro (By Mail to the United Press)—Asian stem steam pipes and streams of water shot from hydraulic pumps set into the vitals of the ancient Morro de Castello, romantic Rio waited in vain for the unloving of untold treasure which, legend has it, is secured in the ancient hill.
Scores of rumors already have been circulated reading the discovery of mysterious metal cagges, aged boxes and other artifacts, investigation has disproved each report.
Stories of buried treasure chiefly are based upon the historical records of alleged pilferings by the one time Bishop of Rio de Janeiro, Don Joao da Cruz, who fled to Lishion in 1745 after church authorities had accused stitching cardabels of wrought gold pans. In another varr, jars of precious stones and gold coins and a quantity of gold and silver bars.
The departure of the Bishop was so precipitate, according to a writer in the Brazilian American, that it is certain he had no time to take with him the stolen objects which were secreted in a secret cavern of the Castle Hill, upon which the Cathedral was situated.
Following the flight of the bishop the Canon gave out a public statement declaring Don Joao had sinned against the laws of God, stealing the inventory book as well as secreting the treasure of the church gathered during long years of careful administration by the prudent Frank Antonio Gundalapes, who was Bishop from 1725 to 1740.
Among the stolen treasure, the Canon announced, was a great cross of wrought silver—a rare and beautiful piece of handwork weighing 3.12 quintas, according to the old Portuguese standard—and other gold and silver cruzados. The entire treasure was valued at more than 684 centes of reis, or about 173,500 of gold exchange.

FRENCH GOVERNMENT
MAY HARNESS TIDES
Send the Daily Kansan home.
Paris, May 11. (United Press.)-Harming the tides, often attempted and as often rejected as an impractical dream, has interested the French government to such an extent that a bill has been introduced in the chamber of deputies with the approval of the minister of public works, asking for an appropriation to permit a practical test.
Bill Introduced in Chamber of Deputies to Construct Huge
The hill was introduced following a study of two years by a committee of the ministry of public works of a project presented by a French company. The experiment is to be made in an estuary near Brest where the tide runs high and the resulting electric power is to be used by the public s.r.a. of Brest. A seminal of that equipment. The total cost of the installation is estimated at 28,300,000 francs, or about $2,500,000 at the present exchange rate.
Both the flood and the ebb tides are to be turned to account to drive four turbines built into a dam about 500 feet long across the estuary. The turbines will have variable speeds and will furnish from 75 to 1,200 horse power to be used by the public service corporations and the naval armaments in an electric current of 1,500 AMP. Incorporating a resel vair containing from 35,000,000 cubic feet of water according to the movement of the tide.
In connection with this reservoir of sea water will be a similar one containing 100,000,000 cubic feet of fresh water provided with a runway varying from 25 to 90 feet in height, running a series of turbines of 3,000 to 4,000 and providing reservoir intended to regulate and variable output of power of the other. It will be provided with two electric accumulators of 1,500 H. P. each. Two pumps of 1,500 H. P. each will be used to draw up the water at bait title. The two reservoirs are ex- tended to have a maximum of 3,200 H. P. and a minimum of 1,600 H. P. The annual production of electric power is estimated at 11,000,000 Kilowatt hours, corresponding to 16,500 tons of coal.
