CITY LIBRARY REF0 F0RM
AN INDEX HxPu10ATo1IoUs on
FICTION
Several Radical Changes Effected or
Contemplated-Cars for students
in the Reference Room

The book committee Of the Los An
geles Public Library have of late been
giving much attention to the fiction de-
partment. In comparing the per cent OF
fiction with those Of Eastern libraries OF
good standing the committee says the
Los Angeles library is ahead, and thai
its fiction Is also of higher class in
many respects. Yet 1t is the intention
of the committee to make some imme-
diate changes in this department, as 1t
does not come up in any way to the ideal
library standard.
The committee has come to the conclu-
sion that the funds for the purchase OF
books IL so limited, and SO many good
reference books are needed that here
after all the fiction supplied by the H.
brary must have an absolutely known
vafue--it must have been published long
enough to have proved its worth. All
the fiction now upon the library shelves
has been carefully examined by the
committee, and those books not con-
sidered standard. while not thrown out,
will not be replaced when worn out.
To students of literary style, one or
two copies of a representative author
will be furnished, but the general public
will no longer find on demand 1.-The Ro-
nance of Two Worlds" Soul Of Lilith,"
or other fantastic and supernatural
works by Marie Corelli. Neither will be
found "He Fell in Love With His Wife,"

where they may only be had on demand.
These magazines have been replaced
by the Westminster Review, Notes and
Queries, Edinburgh Review, Quarterly
Review, and other works more used for
reference.
Already q grea. difference is seen In
the frequenters of the reference room.
Those who formerly drifted into this
room for magazine stories. instead o.

go to the general reading room. leaving
this room for the bona f1de student.

BRIGHT FUTURE OF BRAZIL
Essentially an Agricultural Country
Susceptible to Development

Undoubtedly the coming power of
South America is Brazil. William Har.
per of Philadelphia, who has just re-
turned from commercial tour of the
various South American countries, is
enthusiastic over the prospects of the
young republic, and gives a glowing ac-
count of its resources. According to
Mr.. Harper, Brazil occupies approxi-
mately the same position in the south
temperate zone that this country occu-
pies in the north temperate zone. 1t has
a coast line of 1900 miles and contains an
area of 3,261, 90 square miles, which
makes it almost the size of Europe and
23600 square miles larger than the
United States. There are forty-two ports
along the coast, of which Rio de Janeiro
Is the largest on account of its extensive
anchorage and the safety it affords to
shipping. The other leading ports are
Para, Maranpao, Parabyba, Pernambu- :
co, Macio, Aracaju, Bahia Iheos, San
ta Cruz, Porto Segura, Victoria Santos
Paranague, Santa Carparina and Rio
Grande do Sui.
The country along the Atlantic coast,
as far north as Bahia and extending
three or four hundred miles, is rather
mountainous. To the north and west of
this region, however, the country is
richly productive abounding in diversi-
fed crops and scanned with broad rivers.
Brazil is essentially agricultural in the
character of it's soil and climate. Among
its various products are india rubber
cocoa, sugar cane, cotton, tobacco, cof-
fee. nuts and various other exports. AL
though it comprises greater territory
than the United States, it includes only
twenty states. Four of these are inland
while the remaining sixteen border upon
the sea coast Scattered over the vast
territory of Brazil is a thin population
of only 16,500, 900, half white and half
mixed breed Most of the immigrants
that yearly pour into the country ara
from Spain. Italy and Portugal, although
within the last few years larger propot -
tions have been derived from other
sources.
With such vast material wealth as
the country possesses, it is evident that
great prosperity awaits our sister repub-
lie. If the present republican form If
government is maintained and good in.
ducements are held out to immigrants
this prosperity will not be long in ma
terializing and our sister republic of
Brazil will inevitably become one of the
greatest powers of South America.-At-
