there while it was in Weymouth harbor. He was 

 tall and burly in appearance, rather rigid in ex- 

 pression, and dogmatic in manner. His stories for 

 boys are a blend of fact and extravagance, and 

 constitute apparently a history of all the wars, 

 great and small, in which England has been en- 

 gaged for the past two centuries; but they are 

 more picturesque than accurate. His books were 

 poured forth with astonishing rapidity for an en- 

 tire generation. 



Herbert, William Kirk, Irish Anglican cler- 

 gyman, died in County Louth, Ireland, Aug. 

 24, 1902. After studying for the Anglican min-

 consfield and Lord Salisbury at the Congress of

 settlement of the boundary between British and 

 Dutch Borneo. He published The Map of Europe 

 by Treaty; The Map of Africa by Treaty; Recol- 

 lections of the Old Foreign Office; and collections

Holub, Emil, Aiistrian explorer, born of 

 Czech descent at Holies, Bohemia, Oct. 7, 1847; 

 died in Vienna, Feb. 21, 1902. In early manhood 

 he practised for a time as an apothecary, but at 

 the age of twenty-five emigrated to South Africa, 

 and practised in Kimberley and elsewhere as a 

 physician, but without a doctor's degree. His 

 love of natural history, and of ornithology in par- 

 ticular, presently led him to explore the region 

 beyond the Zambesi, and his residence of seven 



years in Africa was largely devoted to ornitholog- 

 ical researches and to zoology in general. He 

 lived for a time in Prague, but afterward settled 

 in Vienna, where he married. He now resumed 

 his medical studies and received his medical de- 

 gree, and also devoted much time to the study 

 of astronomy and geography. In 1883, accompa- 

 nied by his wife, he made a second trip to South 

 Africa, his task on this occasion having been 

 made easier by a public subscription as well as a 

 generous gift from the Emperor, Francis Joseph. 

 He returned to Austria in 1887 and resided in 

 Vienna thereafter, engaged in scientific work, and 

 lecturing frequently upon South African affairs. 

 In acknowledgment of his services as an explorer, 

 he received from the Emperor the Order of the 

 Iron Crown. Doctor Holub's published works 

 comprise Beitrage zur Ornithologie Sudafrika 

 (Contributions to the Ornithology of South Afri- 

 ca) ; Sieben Jahre in Sudafrika (1881); The Col- 

 onization of Africa; and From Cape Town to the 

 Country of the Maskukulumbe. 



Hoole, Charles Holland, English classical 

 scholar, died in Richmond, England, at the age of 

 sixty-six. He was educated at Oxford, and was 

 ordained priest in 1863. He was lecturer at 

 Christ Church College, Oxford, in 1862-'63, and 

 tutor in 1863-'68, and from 1861 till his death 

 was senior student of that institution. He was 

 the author of An Analytical Paraphrase of the 

 Republic of Plato (1861); The Church and the 

 Methodists (1868); The Shepherd of Hermas in 

 English Verse, a translation (1870); The Apos-

 When a Radical Cabinet was constituted on July 

 24, 1901, he was included as the representative of 

 the extreme wing, receiving the portfolio of Pub- 

 lic Works. His health was so broken, however, 

 that he was unable to take much part in public 

 business.
