PRESERVATION OF BOOKS IN TRIO
ICAL CLIMATES.

The destruction of books by insects
/ in the tropics is an annoyance of so
/ serious a character that no excuse is
| necessary for calling attention TO the
precautions recommended by the trus-
tees in the India Museum, as they are
equally applicable to the libraries in
all tropical countries. In the report
we are informed that the most trou-
blesome insect in the libraries in Cal
cutta is a minute beetle, Pitodrepa
panicea. The cosmopolitan book-mag-
got drills in pin-holeS through and
through the cover and body of a book,
too often effectinG, it's complete de-
strucion. The only other insects which
have been noticed as causing any con-
siderable damage are white ants and
cOckrOaches. They first devour the
books wholesale, but are easily pre-
vented from gaining access to them
by placing the shelves upon the stone
inSulatOrs commonly in use; while
the second merely deface the bindings
so are of less Importance. The treat
ment used in the library of the Rev
enue Department was that of disinfect-
ing the books by pouring a small
quantity of refined benzine into the
crevices of the binding, and then shut
ting the volume up for a few days in
d clOse-ftting box to prevent the es- |
cape of the fumes. The books so dealt |
with were afterwards rubbed over
lightly with the finest kerosene or pa
raffin OIL which should be rubbed off
with a cloth before it has time to pene- /
trate into the binding. This renders
the books, to q great extent, distaste-
full TO insects, without causing serious
injury. 1t is Objectionable on account /
of the odor of the oil, but has the rec
OmmendatiOn Of harmleSSneSS COM .
bined with considerab BILE efficiency In .
the Royal Botanic Gardens at Libpore
a different system has been adopted. 7
1t consists il brushing the books over .
with a saturated solution of corrosive
sublimate, made by keeping a few
Jumps OF the poison a the bottom of
bottle of the ordinary methylated spi-
rit SO that it may become saturated.
Great care should, of course, be taken
in handling this solution, on account (
of its exceedingly poisonous nature.
In the Indian Museum Library, where
the books are kept in close-fitting
glass cases, with a few Jumps of solid
napthaline upon each shelf, little or
no damage is caused by insects The
paste used in binding the books in the
Indian Museum is poisoned by adding
about half an ounce of sulphate of cop
per 10 each pound of paste; while
books already infested are disinfected
by shutting them up for four or FIVE
days in close-ftting box with loose
napthaline, with as much of this sub
stance as possible between the leaves.

none of these methods can be regarded
as wholly unobjectionable some being

Attorney Nielsen's Experience With

Attorney c. NJ. Nielsen had quite an ex-
perience yesterday with crazy man.
who claimed to be in very close relations
unknown, is big, burly German, and
yesterday afternoon he rushed into Mr.
Nelson's office in the Constitution block
and found Nielsen there alone.
Are you Mr.. NielSen?" asked the leu
ton; He received an affirmative answer,
and excitedly cried, Come out to the
corridor, want to talk to YOU Mr.
Nielsen scanned his visitor critically, es-
pecially in che region of the pocket in
which those who carry weapons keep
their pistols, and mildly suggested that
any conversation the visitor wanted to
hold could as we'll be carried on in the
office. That, however. didn't satisfy the
stranger, and finally Nielsen stepped into
the hall, when he was informed by the
German that he had had three revela-
lions, not from heaven, but from the
other place, and not through the medium
of an angel of darkness, but direct from
the devil himself.
Mr.. Nielsen expressed his establishment
at this but Informed his caller not to
take any notice of three revelations from
his satanic majesty, and that until a
fourth communication was received he
could take no cognizance of the matter.
The recipient of the revelations from
the unusual source went on with his
story. Satan had informed him that
there was a large fortune left him by
somebody in the Fatherland, and that Mr..
Nielsen was the only one in the world
who could get it for him. He had been
directed to tell the attorney to write
for it, and was assured that if he did
his duty the money would be recovered,
and if he didn't get it the German had
positive instructions from Bielzebub to
kill his attorney.
While this interesting communication
was being made and received Nielsen had
succeeded in decoying his would-be eli
ent into the street and was using all his
persuasive powers to induce his Teutonic
friend to employ Morris Sommer in the
case, and looking out for a policeman as
well. The maniac suddenly left with a
promise to call again and see what prog
ress had been made towards recovering
the fortune.
Mr.. Nielsen is hoping his visitor will
fall into the hands of the police before
he thinks of returning again to see about
his money.

Central Pacific VS.. Standing.

The opinion in the case of the Central
Pacific Railroad company appellant vs.
Hyrum Standing, tax collector. was de-
livered by Justice Bartch and concurred
in by Chief Justice Zane and Justice
Miner. The judgment of the lower court
was affirmed.
The defendant was tax collector of Box
Elder county and the plaintiff brought
suit in equity to restrain him from SELL
ing any portion of its real estate to
enforce the collection of certain taxes,
which it claims were wrongfully asses
sed.
The property in question was assessed
for the year 1894 by the proper officer and
afterwards the probate judge and select
men, sitting as a board of equalization,
raised the assessment so made. The
plaintiff paid the taxes on the original
assessment, but refused to pay these oc-
casioned by reason of the increase in the
assessment and the tax collector attempt
ed to enforce the payment of the addi-
tional taxes. The appellant contended
that the board of equalization had no
jurisdiction to raise the assessment, be-
cause no written complaint was filed or
any copy served on it. but it was admit
ted that verbal complaint had been
made that the plaintiffs property was as
SesSed too low. The plaintiff resisted the
increase before the board
The court below held that the board of
equalization had acted in all respects &C
cording to law and judgment against the
railroad company was entered and the
supreme court now held that the lower
court was correct.

SUPREME COURT.
Two Opinions Handed Down YES
terday By the Justices.


The supreme court handed down an
opinion in the case of r. H. Whipple, ap-
pellant VS.. H. H. Henderson The opin-
ion was written by Chief Justice Zane
and concurred in by Justices Barton ana
Miner and affirmed the judgment OF the
court below.
The suit was brought to determine the
title to the office of attorney OF Ogden
City. The plaintiff was appointed 10 the
office on Jan. IA, 1894, and continued 10 us
charge the duties of the office until the
defendant was appointed on Jan. 70, 1870.
Under the territorial law the plalntlfI
term would have expired on the 18th day
January. 1896, but the territorial govern
ment was superseded by the stae of Utah
on the 4th day of the same month
The plaintiff claimed the office under
of this state viz: ''All officers civil and
military now holding their offices and APP
pointments in this territory by authority
of law, shall continue to hold and exercise
their respective offices and appointments
until superseded under this constitution"
Plaintiff insisted that the phrase super
ceded under this constitution" means by
a successor elected by the electors of the
city under law enacted by the legisla-
ture of the state The defendant was ap-
pointed by the mayor and the city coun-
ell, which appointment plaintiff claimed
was void.
The lower court found that the defend
ant was entitled to the Office and the
opinion now handed down says. I'VE are
of the opinion that the law authorizing the
mayor of the city of Ogden to appoint
its city attorney is not repugnant to sec.
of the constitution. Therefore the may
or was authorized to appoint the de-
is valid. The judgment appealed from is
affirmed"

THE HIGH SCHOOL.
COMING WEEK WILL BE AN EVENT
FUL ONE.
The Junior and Senior Class Days
the Theatre ON Friday Evening.

The coming week will be hummer
For the high school, school having
really stopped Friday afternoon last.
There will be little studying this
week and most of the time will be
spent in rehearsing for the evening
entertainments. 1t is only about once
a year, commencement week, that the
community wakes UP to the TACT tnat
we have a splendid high school here
even if the building is a disgrace, and
this year a bounteous spread has been
prepared for the entertainment OF
everyone. Nearly every evening OF the
week is taken up with something or
other, most of the exercises OF course
being taken part in by the graduates.
Both the junior and senior class day
exercises take place, and these will
probably be the most interesting OF all,
as they are both full of fun, and are
usually known as high school high
jinks.'
The programme of these two enter
tainments will consist of addresses,
class songs, instrumental music, and
burlesques, and there will not be dull
moment from start to finish, the pro-
grammes lasting not quite two hours.
In the last part of the junior pro-
gramme Monday night quite lively
time is expected.
Miss Flora Griffin, of the senior class,
will walk on the juniors in a very elo-
quent manner, and in behalf of the
juniors Miss Marion Knickerbocker
will reply. J. T. Goodwin, president
of the seniors, will then deliver the
keys and books to William McCraig,
president of the juniors, who will re-
spond to him. 1t is generally limited
In I, IL I'D p h
ing class over very warm fire.
Neither of the programmes can be
made public but the seniors have pre-
pared "a wonder and their grand
finale will overshadow any similar
event the high school has ever known.
On Thursday afternoon the eighth
grade graduates will be received at the
high school, a member representing
each high school class making an adj
dress of welcome.
And on Friday evening in the Salt
Lake theatre the class of '96 will hold
commencement exercises. AS already
announced there will be no addresses
by the scholars that evening, contrary
to the old custom, but now being gen.
orally adopted by the leading schools
| in the country. Instead an address
will be made to the graduates. There
! will be musical selections, and the pre-
sentation of diplomas.
Following are the announcements
for commencement week:
