BosroN has just completed rev
building-one Of the finest for the pur-
pose in the world-for its public library.
and now she stands appalled, at the task
of removing some 100000 books to their
new home. The volumes must be taken
down in order, busted, carried to the
new building and set up in order, o. all
the years OF ca:aloguing will have te,n
in vain. How is the job to he done?
Varit Us plans for removal have been
suggested, the simplest being that
adopted by The Berlin authorities, who,
in moving library OF 100000 volumes,
had regiment or two OF soldiers or
Gered out to carry whole sections OF
books at time. The men marched in
soldierly order, headed by band dis
coursing martial music, and the great
feat was done in a trice. About three
regiments OF the Massachu usetts national
gnard could quickly move the gre1t
library of Boston.
