newspaper that "Rudyard kiplipg landed
on this island at 2 O'Clock, and at 1915
O'Clock he had formulated an Australian

said firmly that was not to be intervie wed:
Il have not thought Of iDtervie wing you,
replied the reporter, with sadness in his
voice; II ask a much greater favor than

had an Australian policy which he knew
would be of the greatest benefittothe coun.
try. No paper would print it. His modest
request was that Kipling would let him
put forth his theory as the scheme OF the
novelist They will print it, he said, II

Some curious statistics regarding news
paper circulation in London were recently
published by the Westminster Gazette. 1t
says: 1t is doubtful whether the increase
IN the number OF London daily newspapers
is at all commensurate with the growth of
the reading capacity OF London itself. 1t is
surprising to learn how many London
homes there are into which nothing but
weekly newspaper enters. and how many
daily newspapers are purchased by the man
of the family and taken to his business Of
flee ere the women of the household have
had an opportunity of gaining any idea of
the news of the day. At the present time
barely 81 per cent of the house holders of
London take a morning newspaper. 50 per
cent take either morning or evening
newspaper, and 81 per cent purchase
neither.
"A new "Is Life Worth Living?' has been
published. This seems piece of impudence
after the title has been given permanency
in literature by Mallock's classic OF that
name.

rUE first American u~blication on a
science which is not new, tpoueh uii-
developed, comes from the INteSs oi
Lee x 5 leopard of Boston, in the s"in
of volume ON The Mystery OF Hand
writing by j II hcene, wei known under
the sobriquet, ''Grapho." The science OF
graphoiogy. or cXpr,s s.. on in handwriting,
is yet in its infancy, having been fairly pre-
scpted to the French public some twenty
five years ago, by the Able Michon. Works
have been published in England and Ger
many dealing with the chirography OF their
people, but Graplo's is the first study or
the complex American character. The au-
tlicr starts whit the fundamental assertion
that handwriting is series of mental ges
turcs. He leads tine reader, with n minimum
of mystlficatoD, through the whole alpha
bet of the grapholugicai signs which ex-
pcrience has taught are presentas symptoms
OF each individual character. While the
author does not claim that graphology is a
more exact science than medicine, be GER
taiDly makes out n good case for it, and "A
possibility of the near futufeis an exactitude
.o,,,,. mans character through his
pen tracks. -,
The work contains fine collection OF
facsimile autographs OF ceienraoeu per
sons, ami arguments in support of the SCI
ence are abundantly sustained by an ap-
peal to the known characteristics OF these
celebrities. Among them is facsimile
of the Marquise Clara LAMA, daughter or
Dr. William A Hammond of Washington.
II, as Talleyrand said, There is nothing
new but that which is forgotten OF whom

THE FREE LIBRARY.
Subcommittee to Consider 1t All
FavOrably Disposed.

Senator Mcmillan chairman of the COM
mittee or the District of Columbia, today
appointed subcommittee to make a re-
pert on his bill introduced in the Senate
December 30 ITO establish and provide
for the maintenance of a free public library
and reading room In the District of Column
h:a." This subcommittee consists of Mr..
Mcmillan, chairman; Messrs. Hansbrough
and WetmoTe.
Messrs. Hansbrough and Wetmore are
members Of the Senate committee on the
library and the experience of both is such
as to make them thoroughly alive to the
Necessities Of every great city for a library.
Mr.. Mcmillan is on record as being earnest
ly In favor Of providing a free public Il
brary for the District of Columbia, the bill
introduced in the last Congress fer that
purpose having been his own measure. and
the plan therein proposed was in conform
ity to the system adopted at his Aome in
Detroit, Mich, for the maintenance Of a Ii
brary. The pending bill is to 4 great ex-
tent simila: to the measure he introduced,
though it is modified in a number of re-
spects in order to meet the special require
ments of The District. All the members CT
the subcommittee are believed 10 be in ia
vor of the bill and favorable report on it
is expected at an early day, when IL will
be considered by the full committee on the
District of Columbia.

iRMING THE MILITIA.
War Department Authorities Inter-
ested in Gen. Huwley's Bill.

The authorities of the War Department
Sre very much interested in the success of
the bill introduced by Senator HawIey pro-
NidinS for arming of the national militia
with Springfield rifles of 10 caliber. but they
believe its scope might be extended with
Cecided benefit to the citizen soldery. As it
stands, the bill authorizes the Secretary of
War to furnish the National Guard of the
various states with Springfield rifles of the
caliber named in exchange for any other
type OF rifle now in use. The bill has been
referred to the War Department for an
opinion as TO its merits
Assistant Secretary Doe, who has given
the subject careful consideration, has given
the bill strong Endorsement, but has sug-
sested that II would be OF even greater BEN
tnt to the militia Il its provisions were ex-
tended so rs to authorize the exchange of
Ifw Springfield rifles of II ealiber for arms
CT the same make and caliber already in the
possession of the militia, but which have
tecGme worn out and useless as a result of
long continued use. Under the bill as if
stands IL would have been impossible TO ex-
change the old Sprin gfield rifles held by the
militia for new ones, as the exchange is
confined to arms of other make. According
TO tIen- Doe, good gun is desideratum to
rlilitiamen, and the government should see
that they are all properly equipped in tha I
respect In view of the main purpose of the
bill, it is believed that ii will be amended
so as to meet the point raised by the mil
ttery authorities.
