THE BooK-BINDINe FAD.

In looking over an account of a re-
cent book auction in New York we
noted the following:
Browning's "strafford," London. 1887.
First edition, $3.50 This was bound by
a binder of little standing.
Had the book been bound by a binder
with a. great reputation it would
have brought fancy price most likely;
and it would have been the binding
and not the fact that it was a first
edition that would have sent the
price up.
1t is no doubt a fine thing to have
books that are the finest specimens of
the art of book making bound by the
great masters of that art, but many
who think they are and give themselves
cut to be bibliophiles, are at best but
bibliomaniacs and do not depend upon
themselves in selecting books and bind
ings, but get into a groove of fashion
and would think no more of departing
from it than they would from the
grooves that fashion has said must be
followed in other matters. With these
bibliomaniacs the question by whom
book is bound has become quite as
important, if not more so, as by whom
it is written. 1t is impossible for one
to have all his books bound by Roger
Payne or Jean Grolier, or even by
Tout, but not to have them bound by
any of these does not detract from the
real value of a book. The extent to
which the rage for binding may go is
we'll illustrated in the case of a copy
of the fifth edition Of Montaigne's Es-
says, and which is now in the public
library of Bordeaux. The edition has
innumerable notes by the great essay
list himself, but these were very largely
destroyed by the binder, a celebrated
| one, to make the book conform to his
idea of the size the cover should be,
One of the most beautiful specimens of
/ book binding we. ever saw was the work
of an Italian who lived in Liverpool,
and yet he was absolutely unknown
save to his immediate customers. While
book binding is an art with many of

HOW FOREST FIRES MAY ORIG
MATE.

The common explanation of forest
fires is that they are generally started
either by white men or by Indians, and
occasionally by lightning. But a new
explanation comes from Canada, one
that is nothing less than remarkable.
According to the Washington CORE
spondeat Of the Chicago Record, Mr.
Edward Farrer of Toronto has just
returned from the Northwest territory.
He says the Canadian government has
had engineers out looking for a route
for railroad to the KIondike. He fur
Their says that in the course of their
explorations they reached what is
known as the fallen timber country,
where they were halted by enormous
piles of logs 20 feet or more in height,
stretching for miles in all directions,
and covering thousands of acres of for
ests. Mr.. Farrer says that one of the
engineers told him of a most eXtraor-
binary phenomenon witnessed by him
and his associates during their efforts
to penetrate the wilderness. The en-
I gineer told him that during high
wind storm one day, their attention was
attracted to an enormous tree which
/ was partly uprooted. The wind con-
! tinued sweeping through the noun
tains al dav, causing its branches to
rub with considerable force against the
| trunks and branches of the dead trees
on the ground. On the second day the
incessant friction generated so much
| heat that combustion ensued. and there
/ was tremendous and destructive fire
/ in consequence.
The story is a strange and most un-
usual one. but there is nothing at all
improbable in it. To start a forest fire
in this way would undoubtedly be an
unusual occurrence, but it is a common
matter for travellers to describe how
savage peoples make fire by the friction
produced by rubbing two pieces of wood
together. John Davis tells how, in his
search for the northwest passage he
saw the natives make fire in this man
ner- 1t is not at all improbable that in
the countless ages that have gone many
forest fires have been started in the
manner described by this Canadian en-.
gineer

COMMERCIAL VALUE OF Lam
GUAGES.

An objection that has been urged
against the high school by a few is
that it teaches the languages French,
German, Spanish-and that these are
the frills of education and are not
essential, have no commercial value, in
fact. 1t is very short sighted view
to take and one that those who hold
will readily discard if they viii but
stop to reflect.
Let the commercial test of the value
Of teaching languages in the high
school be taken and it will be found
that the teaching of them is a good
investment. Presumably no one would
contend that the education of the
children of this city should be based
on the theory that their lives and
ambitions are never to contemplate
anything beyond the limits of the
city or possibly the state. If our boys
are to engage in mercantile pursuits
it is safe to say that some of them
will eventually engage in foreign COM
merce, either directly or as agents for
Others. Their opportunities for doing
this will be greatly enhanced if they
are the masters of one or two foreign
languages. There is every prospect
that in the not distant future the
trade relations between this country
and Mexico and the Central and South
American republics will become much
! closer. VIII not a knowledge of
Spanish be of great value in such
event? 1t is the same with French and
German. If Americans who are en-
gagged in foreign commerce were
acquainted with the languages of the
countries with which they trade, ii
would give them a great advantage
Within the last quarter of century
! the Germans have made greater
| strides in conquering trade than any
other people, and the mastery of the
| languages of various countries has
been deemed as much an essential
among their commercial travellers who
have gone abroad. as technical edu-
cation is deemed necessary among
artisans and manufacturers.
Language being the vehicle of com.
munication only those who know sew
eral can hope to communicate with
many peoples
AS a commercial investment ant
nothing else the teaching of one or two
languages TO pupils is a paying in
vestment. 1t puts them Immediately
in possession of foreign ideas on com
merce and industries through tn,
medium of trade and technical publ
cations without waiting for them to b.
translated, a thing that they ma!
never be in fact.

There was a big meeting in Stock
ton, Cal, Monday of farmers interested
in sugar beet raising. According to
the San Francisco Chronicle almost
every section of San Joaquin county
was represented by prominent farmers
who say they will sign contracts to
furnish beets to the Crockett factory
which has made very liberal propo-
sition to them. A S. Macdonald, of
the beet sugar works, explained what
his company was willing to do. He
said it could handle the beets from 10,
600 acres here and would engage to
furnish seed at cost Drice-about II
cents a Dound-besides furnishing ex-
pert advice and supplying machines
on easy terms or renting them to the
farmers. 1t would pay 81 ton for the
beets and stand the freight.

SHRIFT.

Unbind thine eyes, with thine own own
soul confer,
Look on the sins that made thy life un-
clean;
Behold how Slight thy Wanted virtues
were,
How weak thy faith, thy deeds how
small and mean;
How far from thy high dreams thy life
hath been,
How poor thy use of all thou hast re-
ceiVed,
How little of all Gods glory hast thou
seen.
How misconstrued that which thou
has perceived.
Then when thou hast beheld thy own I'M
worth,
The cup of shame drained to the bitter
lees,
When thou art hrlmbled to the least on
earth,
And in the dust makest common cause
Kind arms shall fold about thee, bring
ing peace;
The earth, thy mother shall assuage
thy pain,
Her woods and fields, her quiet streams
and seas,
Shall touch thy soul and make thee
Whole again.
But if thy heart seals fast one hidden sin
Or one vile script thy soul shrinks to
erase,
Thy mighty mother cannot bring thee in
Unto the happy, holy healing place
But thou shalt weep in darkness, out OF
grace,
And miss the heaven of beauty unde-
filed;
For he VINO would behold her face tC
Must be in spirit as a little child

THE suggestion that the attorneys
for Durrant be threatened with dis
barment if they interpose any more
frivolous appeals in the murderer's
case is a good one. Two years and
seven months have passed since the
Emmanuel church murders startled
the whole country. 1t is high time that
the man who was clearly convicted of
the crime of killing one of the girls
should suffer for it,, says the San
Francisco Chronicle. The suggestion is
a very bad one. Every appeal they
have taken has been allowed by the
courts. They are quite as much to
blame as the attorneys in the case;
they have fought for their client,
nothing more.

There has been more or less talk in
the last year about the government
establishing an armor plant 1t may
or it may not, but if it does it will be
at disadvantage with the Carnegie
and Bethlehem companies, which have
recently purchased the right to use
the Krupp process in manufacturing
armor plate. This new process has
once more turned the balance between
projectile and plate in favor of the
latter 1t is also said that the purchase
by these two companies of the new
process indicates that they are not at
all anxious to dispose of their plants
to the government. There is no doubt
great profit in armor-piate making and

they should not take it instead of the

that they can manufacture the armor

LOWS VOTE IN MANHATTAN
AND THE BRONX.
We have received the following com
munication which explains itself:
Salt Lake CITY. Nov 10 1897


munication which explains itself:
Salt Lake City, Nov. 10. 1897.
To the Editor of The Salt Lake Herald:
Sir-On the editorial page of today's
issue you state that Mr. Low only re-
ceived 1853 votes for mayor of New
York, as against 127,429 names on his
petition Of nomination, and suggest
that this lends color to the claim that
all the signatures were not genuine
You have erred in giving only the
figures of his vote in the boroughs of
Manhattan and the Bronx The total
vote for Seth Low in Greater New York.
Which Includes in addition to the
above, the boroughs of Brooklyn, Rich
mond and Queens was 14S, 5S5. This
figure must be used in comparison. as
the petition was made up of sigma
lures from all the boroughs of the
greater city, and not from Manhattan
and the Bronx alone. as your statement
would indicate. Yours truly,
j. PARKE CLAIMING,
81 Park Place, New York City.
The figures used were taken from an
eastern exchange. 1t would still ap-
pear that Mr.. Low did not receive so
many votes in Manhattan and the
Bronx as there were signatures to the
petitions for his nomination Accord
ing to the Citizens Union campaign
book there were 127,903 signatures to
the petitions, and the committee re
ceived upwards of 1900 signatures
from Brooklyn voters, and consider
| able number from voters in Queens and
Richmond" Let the number of sigma
! lures from voters in Queens and Rich
mond be put at 5000, a very liberal
number indeed; this added to the num-
Der received from Brooklyn would make
1900 signatures received outside of
Manhattan and the Bronx; deduct this
from the total of signatures and it
would leave 110,9O3, the number of vot-
ers in Manhattan and the Bronx who
petitioned for Mr.. Lows nomination.
| The total number of votes cast in these
two boroughs for Mr.. Low was 74,9SS
! (New York Tribune fgures), which
! shows that Mr.. Low had an excess OF
signatures over votes of 35,915, which
! plainly indicates that in Manhattan
and the Bronx Mr.. Low is more popu-
lar with the signers of petitions than
with the voters, or that all the sigma
lures were not genuine.
