The Sultan's Library.

The sultan of Turkey has issued AL
imperial decree to the effect that three
copies Of every book and pamphlet on
any subject whatsoever that has been
printed or published in any language in
any part of his dominion. from the time
he assembled the throne to the present
day. are to be sent to the imperial palace
and II copy to the new library at the
Sublime Porte, which is now being built
by his majesty'S orders.
1t is stated in we'll informed circle.
that his majesty has three objects in
view. First, it is an economic way Of
furnishing two libraries. The second IS
that it will encourage native authors
(whOsc lot under the circumstances can
hardly be regarded as II happy one) in
writing and publishing new works, ami
the third and most important object Of
all is that his majesty's specially en-
plOyed cenSors and secretaries will be-
better able to control and check any pub.

Logs Preserved In Water.

Some magnificent logs of spruce and
yellow pine, which have made their way
down from the sources Of the Delaware
to the KensinSton mills, are now float
ing in the Aralningo canal just below
the Girard avenue bridge. Excellent
material for tall masts and fiagpoles and
huge beams owe 20 feet long and 2 feet
square on the end are noticeable among
the mass Of floating timber. Contrary
to the popular belief, timber is best pre-
served when submerged in water, and
what appears to be a mass of refuse clog
ging portions of the canal is in reality
valuable lumber stored there for reasons
of economy. Such economy al be over
done, however. and many a noble piece
of timber, which has become water
logged during a long period Of time. now
