Nelson's Wonderful Feat.

Writers of historical "reminiscences
have to be masters of certain amount
of accurate information about their
heroes if they wish to avoid mistakes.
If they are not, they are sure to "get
things Mixed
Not long since a reviewer in the Lon
don Times, writing of a book named
Rowing Commissions, related on his
own account the following episode of
Nelson. the great admiral:
"While in chase of Villeneuve's
French feet he was informed of the
enemy heaving in sight, at which in
formation Nelson evinced the highest
satisfaction and gleefully rubbed his
hands.
AS a correspondent of The Times
points out, this incident occurred in
1905. Nelson lost his right arm in the
attack on Santa Cruz, Tenerife, in 1897
eight years prior to his pursuit Of
Villeneuve's fleet. 1t would have been,
therefore, difficult matter for him to
Grub his hands, in 1905.

BOOK MAKING IN THE MIDDLE
AGES.

1t required man of great parts to
be successful publisher at that time,
as much as or even more than it does
to- day. Such an institution, for ex-
ample, as the Sorbonne or University
of Paris required the highest guaran-
tees of character, capital, and literary
capacity in the licensed bookseller. He
and science of the period, as we'll as
perfectly skilled in the mechanical
needs of his business. The university,
too, which was always in close touch
with the Church, even when it's stud
les had begun to broaden, exercised
jealous censorship, lest some relig-
ious heresy should creep in. When
ever an error of this or even of more
trivial sort was found, the transcripts
were burned and the bookseller heav-
lily fined. Sometimes his privileges
might be entirely revoked, indeed,
and he himself imprisoned. The
bookseller could not even fix a price
on his own products. Four of the
guild in Paris, for example, were
sworn as appraisers by the authorities
of the Sorbonne to fix the selling val
ue of book, and any deviation from
this was a penal offence. To students
the price was fixed at two thirds of
the charge asked of the general pur-
chaser. The booksellers could not
dispose of their entire stock and trade
without the license of the university,
which must also approve the purchas-
err. AS an additional help to students,
the Sorbonne in the middle aof the
fourte enth century framed law COM
polling all booksellers to keep books
to lend out on hire, and this example
was initiated at Toulouse, Bologna,
Vienna, and Oxford. In this way cir
culating- libraries were established in
the Middle Ages.-Hurper's Round
Table.

THE NEEDS OF THE NAVY As
SEEN BY SEC. ROOSEVELT.

The naval officers generally agree
with the statements made by Assist
ant Secretary of the Navy Roosevelt
that steps should be taken to modern
ize the batteries of many vessels now
in commission.
Mr.. Roosevelt has informed the
President that the navy was also bad
ly in need of ammunition. Mr.. Roos-
evelt appreciates that every ship in
the navy has supply of powder suf-
fcient for peace purposes, but in
cases of emergency he thinks there is
not enough powder to rapidly replace
that now in the magazines of the
men of-war.
Naval officers generally say Con-
gress should lose no time in appropri-
ating the $50O,0OO recommended by
Secretary Long for the purchase of
reserve ammunition. The only re-
cent contract made by the depart
ment for powder was that entered in
to several months ago for 100, 900
pounds of six-inch smokeless powder.
More men are required to man the
new war vessels, and, if they are not
supplied, it will be impossible to COM
mission an other vessel of the navy.
There is not ship now in service
that has not short crew, and, to
make up for these deficiencies, and to
provide sailors necessary to handle
one or two vessels that may be re-
CURED in service, Secretary Long has
prepared a communication for pre-
sentation to Congress in which he
asks for permission to enlist 1900
more men, 1000 to be sailors and 700
apprentices.
In support of this requst he states
that during the next two years five
battleships of the first class and II
torpedo boats are to be placed in
commission, and that the increased
force asked for will be necessary to
man them.
