unconscious of the immense treasure
he had had in his keeping. There is
nothing here, sahib," he said, ''but a

difference OF a native servant, what
might have been a serious loss was
turned into happy recovery.
In an interesting article on the ro-
nance of literary discovery a writer in
an English periodical names a number
of notable book recoveries in ancient
times. Among these is Homer
Odyssey" 800 lines Of which were
found grasped in the hands of mummy
at Monfalot; one of Cicero's most in

amid a heap of refuse near Milan, by
q bishop Of Lodi early in the fifteenth
century, and the we'll known instance
of the recovery of the original manu-
script of Magma Charta from the hands
Of a tailor who was cutting it up fol
patterns. An equally singular recovery
was that of small portion of wha
was supposed to be one OF the los
books of Livy. The tutor of q French

piece of historical Latin prose. In very
much the style of Livy. He instantly
hurried to the racquet-maker; but In
vain. The man could only tell him
that he had fallen in with q mass OF
parchment aud that it had long since
been used up in the making OF racquet
bats.
More fortunate than the tutor was
scholar named Musso. who CHANGED
one afternoon to enter bookbinder's
shop in Paris. Noticing that the man
was about to cut up a mass OF manu-
script. he begged leave to examine II.
To his surprise he found that he had
hit upon the works OF Agobard. q
learned prelate of the ninth century.
Seeing its value Musso purchased the
manuscript. and thus preserved a
volume which contained many valuable
details of those early days.
The recovery of the 'Ethiopica' OF
Heliodorus, a Christian bishop OF the
fourth century, is cited as little short
of miraculous. During the sack Oh
Ofen, in 1926. a common soldier saw
manuscript lying in the streets. be-
grimed with dirt and trampled under
foot by his comrades, who were intent
on plundering the houses. Noticing
that it was richly bound he picked II
up and conveyed it to Germany, where
it was shortly after printed and became
one of the most popular romances o.
the times.
Still more remarkable was the dis
covery of Martin Luther's liable
