Are Stevenson s Books
to. Stand Tim&*s test ?
The bishop of Durham Iik his ora
tion at the St(‘veiis()ii eommemoration
Mitmer indirectly raised the question
whether physical disabilities are a
handicap to individual distinction In
life. His observations suggest that
weakness in one svnse may he the
path to great ness.in another. 4 ' Robert
Louis Stevenson wa ■ tip only son and
a chronic invalid. Ills physical weak
ness, like ScoU’s iamepess and By
ron:? club foot, the bjshop remarKed.
tended to induce in him an almost
morbid cull of virility.
The bishop wound up his addrei'S
with a (juestion to which Stevenson
enthusiasts of the present day would,
admit of but one answer. When hi
books trad to : stami „nttkydly on. iU
merits would they lie aide to /hold
their own against the rival claVns-of
new works armed with all tire, subtle
appeal of direct relevance to/1he time
present? When we think/of the fu
rore over the Waveriy novels for long
after they were published and of the
apathy regarding Scot/ in the present
genera Hern,—tm one/Wtr answer th<
Idsliop’s question dj^giualically.—We(

It was the Spaniards who- brought

ico and. Panama in search of gold they
regarded platinum as a nuisance amb
a dangerous metaf because, being as
heavy as gold, it was easily mistaken
for gold when covered with a coating
of yellow metal.

they realized its value for making
