PRESERVING BOOKS FROM INSECTS.

From The London Chronicle.
The preservation of books from insects formed
the subject OF most animated discussion at
the International Congress of Librarians re-
Gently held in Paris Most of the members had
something TO say the question, each con-

shelving or. if this were impossible, that the
wood should be coated with sulphate of copper.
Another advised the similar of naphthOl. A

To very few authors is it given to become
classical while they still liviag. How many
thus fortunate can be counted among the writer's
Of to-day? We refrain from attempting to esti-
mate the size of the group; to mention names
might land us in an appearance of inyidious-
ness. But the author of Elizabeth and Her
German Garden" will not divulge her name
and. accordingly we treat her without further
apology as classic. From the excellent little
summary of reprints and new editions which the
publishers of her first book print on the back
of its title page. We learn that it was first set
up so recently as September. 1898 II was re-
printed in November and December of the same
year; once in March, once in May and twice in
July, 1889. In August of the year it
reprinted again. and twice in the following Octo-
ber. A new edition, with additions, appeared in
July, 1900; this reprinted last September
and now we have the book in still another FORM

its predecessors. '"The Solitary Summer" first

popularity. We feel confident that both books

We hope that all the editions of the future
will include the illustrations given for the first
time in the present volumes. Elizabeth needs
no adventitious aids in placing her German en-
VirOnment before in all its quaintness and
charm. But ii would be idle to deny that the
pictures in these volumes add a more than well

terror Of the old manor; the simple brick en-

Concentration In New Mexico

The new concentrating mill Mt Pinos

Hearst people. is now running and pro-
ducing nearly 100 tons of concentrates
day. The company has over 100 men
employed. Development is practically
at an end and work is being prosecuted
with view to securing returns from
the ore mined. One shaft has reached
a depth of 800 feet. The smelter at
Silver City, operated by the company
is running night and day. The invest
Ors of such large sums in Grant coun-
ty are beginning to reap the fruits of
their expenditure.
Perhaps the richest strike on record
in the Santa Rita district has been un-
covered on the Heath property. A vein
of ore eight feet in width and running
seventy per cent. copper and consider
able silver has been followed for some
distance.
Work is being prosecuted by the Man

vein which is yielding 800 ounces sill

While Lcadville is in every sense of

ocrat, and there is hardly shaft but
what needs Il full complement of
pumping apparatus, there is in some
portions of the district the problem of
water where il does not exist in sutfi-
cient quantities for useful purposes.
On West Fryer hill the leasers in order
to get enough for steam purposes have
to have the water hauled to them in
wagons. In other portions there are
cases where the mines to get enough
for steam power, have to melt snow
and the engineer is engaged part of his
time in shoveling snow into tank
which also receives the exhaust. The
old Lucky Weber shaft on Brooklyn
heights for some time past has been
used as well. 1t has first class

This is exactly on the line of what
Is now done in Australia. In that coun-
try, when new district is discovered,
the government, on tie application of
miners interested, not only sends n
competent engineer to pass Judgment
on the district but on his recommenda-
ton sinks Il shaft or drives tunnel
to prove up the ore bodies. This work
Is done without any cost to the miner,
and shafts are frequently sunk as far
as 800 or LOCO feet. With enough drift
ing to determine the extent and char
acter of the ore dispositions. The
miners then only have to follow the
lines marked out for them, and if the
ground proves commercially worthless
they are saved all the expense of de-
velOpment. In the province of Vic
toria alone the provincial government
expends annually about 100000 in
development work of this character.
