Spontaneous Combustion Among Paper.

Spontaneous Combustio Among Paper
Not great while ago Librarians and
book lovers in general were discussing
the deterioration in the quality of pa
per of late years. Il is curious to learn
from her Majesty's Waste Paper Office
that one result of the change of materi-
ais has been decided increase lin liza
blity to fire wherever paper waste is
accumulated in any great quantity. 1t
is the rarest thing to find paper made
of rags nowadays. 1t is made from
wood and other vegetable materials
which, chemically, are not very diff
ferent from the component materials
of hayriek. If paper waste is stacked
in large masses, and especially II it
happens to be a little damp, heating
takes place just as with a prematurely
stacked hayrick. and spontaneous com
bustion may at any time break out in
fame, as it has often been known to
do in the farm yard. Of late years the
greatest care and vigilance have been
necessary to guard against this.

little strange that We couldn't find one

painfully when we asked the question.
He said that he had Bible, of course, but,
unlucklly his partner, who was always
on the lookout for something new and
interesting, had carried it off to read. It
was astonishing how many different
Bibles had just peen mislaid throughout
the different offices. We thereuppn eX-
tended the search, and. to make a long
story short, eventually borrowed a copy
from the colored janitor Of a store two
blocks away. When we asked him for it
he turned ashy, and I observed that the
name of the owner had been erased from
the title page. All Of which leads me to
repeat that d Bible mission is badly
needed IN the business district. Won't
some benevolent person take up he

home rule and a separate budget. BUT
to these rurnors Of disaffection we need
pay little attention. Though Catalonia
has always been inclined to revolt, yet
her pride of race inc language will still
keep her faithful to the Ideal Of united
Spain.
Therefore all circumstances point to
the resurrection of that country beyond
the Pryenees. which has always kept
herself essentially aloof from Europe,
and which has never frankly acknowl-
edged defeat. Her greatest danger
comes from her own love of ease and of
peculatlon. Her present ministers are
not merely loyal. but wise, and if only
they could shake themselves free OF an
infamous habit of corruption, Spain
would be as we'll justified as England IN
putting faith in her government. 1t is a
large III of course. but where intelli-
gence is, there honesty may be found
also, and there is no need to despair of
the future. General Weyler is in dis
grace, and General Polavieia, the pres
ent minister of war. IS a MAJ of untarn-
lSned character, who IS not likely to
permit the embeZzlement which last
year fastened the downfall of his coun-
try.
And granted a wise government. Spain
has a thousand obvious advantages. Des-
pite her indolent climate unfatlomed
wealth IS buried not far beneath her soil.
Wine and oil and cork and corn come at
her bidding, and the rlchness Of her MIN
erals has never been disputed. Nothing
is wanted save the enterprise which shall
at once discover the natural products
and force them upon the greater markets
of the world. But u~nhappiIy, this enter
prise is too often lacking. Too often the
manifest resources of the country are
exploited by the energy of England anu
Of rance too often the Spaniards them
selves DO but minister to the wealth of
others. But better 1t IS hat the riches of
Spain should be brought to the surface
by alien ingenuity than that they should
be lett buried in the soil, After all, the
example Of foreigners may fire the ambi-
ton even of the lazy Andalusian, and
one day we may find Spanish cIeverness
and Spanish capital constructing rail-
ways and opening mines.
40 any rate, Spain does not repine; at
the very moment when other nations
have either deplored or appIauded her de-
feat, she has been celebrating the ter
centenary OF her grea test painter, and
has been defending the study Of Latin
against the encroaching radical. And can
history show a more brilliant example of
political detachment than that?
