In a careful review of the South
African situation, the editor of the
Review of Reviews exposes in the
March number the unreasonable
nature of some of the demands
made by the "Uitianders' on Pres
ident Kruger's government. The
reforms" in that government are
demanded, it is shown, by men who
retain their allegiance to Great
Britain or the United States, rs the
case may be, and do not intend to
become N good faith citizens in the
T%ransvaal. Although they claim
that they are made to bear an an
due proportion OF the burden of
taxation, it appears that the Trans
vaal government gets a COMPARE
lively small share of the wealth of
the gold mines; most of it goes to
the Uitlanders." 1t is true that
the Beers nave thus far failed to
provide English schools III JONAH
les burg, but n most non English
speaking countries it has always
been customary for English speak
ing %colonists to provide Lnglish IN
structions nc their expense.
THIS difficulty will probably be re
moved, however, IN due time, with-
out recourse to any radical change
IN the government. Both Ameri-
cans and Englishmen have been
freely permitted to enter the Trans
vaal and engage IN mining. This
clamor for a change IN tne instltu
tions Of what is to them still "a for
elgn country, albeit al hospltable
one, comes with bad grace from
these adventurous aliens.

LOST LITERATURE.
Fire and Water Have Destroyed Many
Precious Books.

Fire and Water Have Destroyed Many
Precious Books.
The fine literature absolutely lost ia
very considerable. Of classical litera-
ture alone, books could be filled witlR
! the mere names of works, never to men'
ton the mutilated state of many that
survive. The causes of loss are few.
! Fire is the most common. Ben john
son, by the fire in his house, lost an en-
tire drama of the Life Of Henry V. with
notes, and a number of other wOrks.
The fire of London was responsible for
the loss of many valuable works of tho
Elizabethan period and of much early
English poetry. A severe blow to the
lovers of Anglo-SaXon literature waS
the burning of the Cottonian library
in 1871, when a vast quantity of old
manuscripts were destroyed. In 1852,
by fire in Iincoln's Inn Fields, a large
collection of manuscripts and panl-
phlets, gathered with great labor by
Lord Chamberlain Somers, was lost.
About the same time Davies notes on
Cicero's 'De Officilis' were lost by n
fire in Strand, London.
The second great cause of loss is the
ocean, whose greedy NAV" swallows
all kinds of treasures so remorselessly.
Early in the 18th century, Guarino
Veronese was returning to Constanti-
nople with ship load of classical manu-
scripts. The vessel was wrecked and
the treasures lost, misfortune which,
turned the scholars hair white in a
few hours. Our own Spenser suffered
serious. loss by shipwreck of a servant
crossing from Ireland. The last six
books of the "Faerie Queen" and a num-
Der of translations and poems, includ.
ing Dreams "The Court of Cupid
and "The He'll of Lovers" were thus
consigned to watery grave. In 1900,
on the death of Vincentio Pinelli, his
library was packed in three vessels
bound for Naples. One wDs attacked
by pirates, who flung out the books and
papers into the sea and along the shore,
some of the latter being picked up BY
the inhabitants anl used to stuff wins
dows with. Toward the close of lasb
century a servant of Warburton came
across a unique mass of manuscript
plays, which she used up in lighting
fires and making pie crust frills. And
everybody remembers how domestic
of John Stuart Mill consigned to the
flames a part of CarlyIe's ''French Rev
olution." The horror of Mill at the loss,
and the "ngony" of Carlyle in rewriting
the work, are now matters of history.
A very curious loss was occasioned in
Italy in the 14th century, when Raj
monde Soranzo loaned the manuscript
~ III eros "De Gloria" to a friend
who pawned it, and died before it's hid
ing place could be discovered.-N. Y.
