Dr Fitchett describes most graphically, in the January issue of "Life," the last fight made by the Kelly Gang, which ended in their extermination. The section in this nomber begins with the seige of the hotel at Glenrowan, and ends with the .hanging of Kelly. But Dr Fitchett promises next month, to publish, by way of supplement, some valuable and and interesting correspondence and photographs. That the Editor of "Life" can write even more delightfully onthc literary topic is shown in an article entitled ''How 1 Made the Acquaintance of the 'Cornhill Magaaine.'" This acquaintance, it seems, began more than forty yean ago, when, as a boy, be lay beside a lonely camp-fire in Queensland, hundreds of miles beyond all settlement Among the special contributions, a finely illustrated article by Chaises Barrett, on the "Eyre Peninsula and Eta Wealth of Natural History" is conspicuous. There is also a very readable story by a college boy, who accompanied Commander Peary on bis recent Polar expedition. Albert Dorrington takes pride of place amongst the short story writers with bis latest achievement oi the irrepressible Captain Hayes. Tbere i.« also an exciting murder story i;. Stewart Edward White, relieved by a very funny motor-yarn. All the regular departments which the busy man appreciates so much arc, qs usual, qp-to-date.
