Library work for children is COM
paratively in it's infancy, and in a
majority of libraries the age limit re-
garding the withdrawal of books is
maintained. This is, of course, wise
in libraries where a separate classiti-
cation of books for children has not
been made. But many libraries have
such classifcations, and some have
even gone to the extent of providing
children's rooms or corners" A
chapter of a recent report by the Wis
consin Free Library Commission is
devoted to this interesting phase of
library work. Progress therein is
facilitated by the supervision of the
State Commission, and by natural
rivalry which is not so likely of de-
velopment among isolated libraries.
The Wisconsin report speaks en-
Enthusiastically of results. There are
no more constant patrons than the
children, and none who show q
greater appreciation of the advantages
offered by their behavior in the library
and by their care of the books. Some
libraries have gone to the extent OF
permitting the children to select the
books desired from the shelves, and
to replace them there after their re-
turn has been noted at the receiving
desk. The children thus trusted have
mastered the Cutter system of library
indexing, with its mysterious symbols
and rarely is there occasion to re
arrange any Of the books in the chill
dren's section.

Quite an industry is now carried on
i'll the production of green gutta
percha from the leaves of the
caoutchouc tree, a product which is
said to possess not only all the adj
vantages of the article procured by
incision into the stem. but even to
excel it in durability, thus promising
to enter largely into use industrially
and commercially in a hitherto un-
known way. 1t is not only readily
prepared, but is also cheap, and does
not require the expensive publication
which has hitherto increased the price
of the substance some fifteen to
twenty-five per cent. 1t is highly
plastic, very strong, can be divided
into the thinnest leaves, and receives
the most delicate and. at the same
time, most distinct impressions by
moulding and pressing. In addition
to these advantages there is the i'm
portant one of perfectly wlthstanding
action of water and the strongest
acids, and even in worn and broken
up condition is still worth fourth
its cost of production.

Santiago de Cuba, Sept. 26.-Details
Just received of the floating of the Span
ish armored cruiser Maria Teresa show
that, with the help of dynamite, she
was blown off the rocks into deep water
on Sept. %, and proceeded under her
own steam sometime afterwards to
Guantanamo, accompanied by one of
the tugs of the Merritt Wrecking COM
pany. She will shortly leave for New
York. Naval Constructor Hobson says
he can raise the Spanish cruiser Cristo-
bal Colon with the use of air bags in
a week. if given authority to do so. Com
modore Watson thinks not. The Colon,
il appears, was not seriously damaged
by shells, but her valves We're opened,
which caused her to sink. The other
two Spanish cruisers sunk in the battle
of Santiago, the Almirante Oquendo and
the Vizcaya, are useless wrecks of melt
ed iron.

A sarcastic writer in the Washing

peace-until the trans-Sibelian rail
road is completed. France wants dis
armament-immediately after she has
recovered Asace-Lorraine. England
favors disarmament-oft the land forces

tacking her extensive commerce. The
United States yearns for UNIVERSAL
peace-but would not permit that all

Boston, Sept. 2I.-MayOr Quincy and
the city council have been petitiOned by
a committee of the social alliance to es-
tablish a municipal coal yard where
people who are obliged to buy coal in
small quantities can obtain it al cost.
The committee in its petition states
that coal is one of the necessaries of
life. created by natures own hand, which
it is a crime to make scarce or dear by
any form of monopoly. The mass of the
people are obliged to buy coal in small
quantities for immediate consumption,
which makes it much costlier for them
than for the well-to-do. who buy it in
larger quantities when the market is in
their favor
The petitioners further say that the
plan will, of course, coutlict with the
business interests of a class. and that lit
would also interfere with the time hon

sttutions that infict humiliation on the
poor by doing for them what they might
do for themselves but for legal irius-

Park Commissioners in Baltimore
are worried over the blighting of
trees, which is ascribed to the pres
ence of the electric lights and wires.
The popular impression is that the i'll
under the influence of which the
trees grow at night, as well as during
the day, ana thus soon exhaust their
vitality. Electricians dispute this,
however, while acknowledging the
possible deteriorating influence of
electricity. They deny that the
electric light is sufficient for the
growth of vegetation, inasmuch as it
lacks the heat present i'll the light of
the sun. Their theory is that the evil
effect seen is due to electrolysis.
Much electricity, they explain, es-
capes from the circuits. This, pass
Ing into the body of the tree. as the
readiest conductor, decomposes the
sap by taking out of it the oxygen
which is its life-giving part. The fact
that young trees show the injury from
electricity more than the older ones,
far from supporting the assumption
that the injury is due to the light,
goes to prove the other theory, the
electricians say, because the young
tree, more tender and full of sap, is
more susceptible to the electric inhu-
ence.

THE SHENANDOAH IN PORT
She Was Fired on by n Spanish
GunbCat on Ireland.


Baltimore July S.-After an exciting
and breezy experience the big American
ship Shenandoah came into port yester-
day.
1t is conceded that this vessel which IS
the largest sailing vessel afioat, has been
more sought after by Spanish warships
than any other merchant vessel flying
our flag. While yet far out at sea Capt.
there Murphy received instructions from
the lookout for him. and having struck
calm weather ne determined to get into
a British port as quickly as possible. An
ocean tug was taken into service and
Liverpool reached in due time. While
ther Murphy received instructions from
Baltimore from the owners to insure the
Shenandoah as heavily as possible be-
fore sailing.
The doughty Irishman. however. had
another plan. He considered red-hOt
shot superior to insurance. and purchas-
ed two finch rifles, which he placed in
good positions on board his vessel. Thus
armed ne went to sea, headed for Bal
timore.
He says that while coming around the
coast of Ireland a Spanish gunboat made
for him with two shots in quick success
sion He replied with his guns. The
Spanish drew off and the Shenandoah
proceeded unmOIested- II is supposed
that the big ship while mere will take on
coal for Manila.
