Tho End of Books.

What brings about the end Of booksl
Ts it fire, water, worms? As every ship
launched is bound to be wrecked, every
theater to be burned, the fms Of the
book is its reduction to ashes. What be-
came Of the Alexandrian library? Did
the Saracens burn it in $40? There is
this question asked: Was there any H.
brary at Alexandria containing 700, 900
books? Gibbon inclines to the opinion
that there was no such library. Canon
Taylor insists that If there had been a
library it was burned in the time of Ju-
illus Caesar. Tradition seems to indicate,
however. that there was library in
Che Serapeum. by no means large col.
lection, but whether destroyed by The.
ophiius or Theodosius is not known. II
looks as il the charge brought against
the Arabs rested on no foundation. Re.
cent explorations Of Alexandria, 1866,
show no traces Of the Serapeum. The
seaport Of Egypt was built on damp
foundation, and, granting that there
was a library. if not destroyed by fire,
then the papyri might have suffered
from decay due to water. Books Of to-
day taken to India, to the southern
states and to the West Indies perish

TRAPPING CROWS.
1t Is Not an Easy Matter to Net the VIII

It Is Not IN Easy Matter to Net the WHY
Birds.
Crows arc trapped and sold to sports
men for shooting matches, usually bring.
ing $40 per 100, but, like other things,
when scarce they bring more.
It vs. no simple matter to trap crows,
for tho crow is willy bird, and to catch
him in net set for that purpose re-
quires skill, and patience rs we'll, but
the hunger Of the crow is always the
tlapper' greatest aid. One man alone
would make but little Roadway catching
crows and would probably sit all day in
his little bough house ready to spring
his net, but the crows would give his
bait wide berth because they would
know that he was there.
After placing the carcass Of some ami

but stop only long enough to get beak-

carcass where there is no net set is Of
course the best patronized, but the trap
per OH the outside makes it his business
to walk near enough to that to keep tho
crows from settling on it in numbers
and thus satisfying their hunger with
out going to the one where the net is.
After awhile their hunger gets the bet

they gather on the carcass where the
