A BOOKISH LOT.

For 40 years Jules Verne's writings
have averaged two books year.
The earliest dictionary OF slang was
perhaps the one published in London
about 1000: "a New Dictionary OF the
Canting Crew in Its Several Tribes Of
Gypsies, Beggars, Thieves, Cheats"
This volume is shortly to be republished
in fac-simile.
The London Publishers Circular de-
clares that fewer books were issued in
England in 1895 than in 1897, and that
the falling off is largest in the number
of novels. 1t seems that the experiment
of substituting one-volume for three
volume editions Of novels, from which
much was hoped, has not proved thus
far O striking financial success.
Literature states that the finest
known collection of chained books is
that in Hereford cathedral. Itincludes
about 1000 volumes, arranged in five
bookcases, of which not less than 1.500
are secured by chains three or four
feet long, each with swivel in the GEN.
ter. A small collection of chained
books, long forgotten, has just come to
light in the vestry of the church at
Sleaford. Lincolnshire.

An interesting experiment in egg
gtorage was recently tried in Scotland.
At Leith last June $4,000 Scottish-Irish
and Danish eggs were sealed up in q
storage apparatus, says the Scientific
American, and were opened and ex-
amined four months afterward, and
only small proportion OF the eggs
were found unfit for use. In this
method the eggs are kept cool and the
airis allowed to have free access around
each egg, which is kept in an upright
position. The eggs are turned period
ically, SO that the yolk Of the egg is
constantly embedded in albumen. This
is accomplished by placing the eggs in
frames, which, by the action Of a lever,
can be inclined in different directions
as needed. In this way $4,000 eggs can
be turned over in a minute without
any chance of breakage.
