ANNUAL OUTPUT OF BOOKS
Facts Calculated to Reduce the Conoeit Of

GERMANY FAR AHEAD or ALL RIVALS
Review of the Number and Character
of Books Published by Thirteen
Nations-Whcre the United
States stand.
GERMANY FAR AHEAD or ALL RIVALS

The great activity of American publishers
in making and marketing books has given
rise to the belief that the United States
ranks at or near the top of the list of book
makers. The belief is not well founded.
Indeed the United States does not occupy a
very high place in comparison with Euro
pean nations. Percy L. Parker, an English
man, writing in the Independent on the
annual output of books, says:
At first sight one would think that it
would be the easiest matter possible to
get full return of all the books published
in the world in year. AS matter Of fact
no such return has ever been issued And
yet nothing could equal in interest such a
return.
A contributor to one OF our trade papers
The OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES has done the best
he could in this direction. But the results
of his efforts have not obtained the notice
they deserve, remarkable as they are.
In few countries is there any central and
official authority whose duty 1t is to keep a
record of books published in their country.
Such is the case in Russia Spain, Portugal,
Austria, China and Japan. So, too In Ger
many. and the Netherlands. but for these lat
ter two satisfactory returns were available
from nonofIicial sources.
Mr.. Ronald Smith, however, succeeded
with much trouble in gathering accurate fig
ures giving the average annual production
of books in the following thirteen countries
the United States, the United Kingdom
Canada, France, Germany Italy. Egypt, the
Netherlands, Belgium, Norway, Denmark
Sweden and Switzerland. The returns from
other countries not named here would not
materially alter the general results Of those
which are given and careful analysis of
them which Mr., Smith did not trouble to
make-give some most extraordinary re-
suits.
In the first place, the total number OF
books issued by these thirteen countries in
a year averages 1880.
Omaha daily bee., 1899-12-17

the tremendous number Of 1851 out OF the
total of 77250-nearly seventh.
Novels come second, with 7,94S volumes a
year. One Of the most significant facts Is
that books on political and social economy
greatly exceed in number books Of theology
and of sermons. The first number 7.19s.
against $500 OF the latter. At the bottom OF
the list come books on sport, with the small
total OF 1871. But the whole list is of great
interest and is more striking when seen in
tabuated sequence. Here it is:

Anglo-Sax lands which imagined that they
had monopoly in the way of literary pro-
duction. OF course the judgment in THE case
Is purely a numerical one. What would be
the judgment If the merits OF the books
themselves were considered instead of mere
number cannot say. Anyway the United
States can boast that 1t produces one-ff-

A third interesting analysis shows which
countries publish the largest number Of
books OF a practical class.
Here, again, the result is most surprising.
For Germany publishes the most books in no
less than seven out of the twelve classes into
which the books are divided. The following
list will show which they are.
History and Fiction.
In only one class OF book does England get
first place, and that class Is novels.
France manages to get two first places for
history (Which one would expect Germany
to have) and poetry and the drama, France
also ties with the United States in publish
ing an equal number OF books ON sport. Italy
is the only other country which secures
first place and that ie for its famous books
on political economy. Here is the tabulated
list:

The two men team tournament being
held, on Groth's alleys, is causing con-
siderable interest and enthusiasm in
bowling circles in Hoboken and that
vicinity. The teams were fairly evenly
matched and no one can pick a winner
as yet with any degree of safety. h
games called Wednesday night were a lit
tie below the standard set in previous
contests.
The first series brought Bertrand and
Calm out against Nolan and Mohler, and
the spectators were treated to an excit-
ing race if not to expert bowling. Bert
the first. game and won by rs pins. The
second game they also won, which ave
them the series, but their margin was
slighter. Bertrand had high score in the
series, 179.
Bulk and Duncan of the Castle Point
Cyclers then came out to meet Nolan
and Mohler, and this was a hard fight.
The first game was a cOrking one and
had the crowd excited. The teams Kept
abreast all along from the first and to-
ward the close it was a question of only
a small bunch of credits and either team
could win. The last ball won the game
for Nolan and Mohler by 4 pins. Buck
and Duncan won the second game by %
Buck n Duncan did the trick this time
/ with a few to spare.
The last series was between the w
winners and in two good games Buck
and Duncan won this series. The scores
