NEWS AND REVIEWS.
THE JEW TO-DAY. VARIOUS NOVELS. On pagci one "Cyrano" reviews "I Commit to the Flames," by Ivor Brown. "The Times" Literary Supplement thinks the short story in England today is tending to become standardised. Its writers seem to work in most cases from one of half a dozen accepted patterns, and an air of stalenesa is the result. A copy of "Under the North Pole," by Sir Hubert Wilkins, was carricd across the Atlantic and under the Arctic pack ico by tho submarine Nautilus, and on tho Ellsworth Antarctic Expedition. Tho book is a beautiful specimen of the printer's and bookbinder'.-* arts. Only copies were printed. Eighteen copied have been sold for approximately £150 each. This particularly copy is on sale in Auckland, and the proceeds arc to go towards building Nautilus 11.
