Dear M. B. Friends;
When we look at the list OF books ad-
vertised by the various publishers, or at
catalogues mum bering them by the thou
sands; at the complete sets by standard
but prolific writers, which are offered for
sale, what wonder that we ask, 'swho reads
all the these books?" Add to these almost
numberless volumes, the list of magazines,
periodicals, textbooks, weekly and daily
papers, and one has thought OF the pos
sibility of being buried alive under this
overwhelming mass of literature.
Compare this supply of reading matter
with the time the average person has to
spare for that purpose, and then think OF
the wisdom required to select from this
great diversity of material those things
which will be most useful, helpful and
beneficial.
How often, in looking over book notices
or reading reviews" of different volumes,
we wish we could afford this or that copy,
but the limit on our bocketbook is not
without its compensations. Better few
vacant places on our book shelves than no
time to think out for ourselves some of
life's problems and romances and real ex-
periences.
Ii we have only the means to procure a
few OF the many volumes Published, pre-
haps we shall make our selections with
greater care and garner into our little
libraries some of those choice selections
which endure longer than one passing
season. We need not feel that we are
"behind the times'', or be ashamed to ad-
init that we have not read this or that pop
ular book.
To those who have access to large guam
titles of reading matter, there will ever be
the test question of what to select out of
the abundance of good things. There
may be the gormandizing reader or the
discriminating student. There NAV also
be times in every life when reading ought
to be simply recreation.

SPEED OF SOLAR SYSTEM.
sun. Moon sud stars Are All Going
Somewhere at the Rate of
10000 Miles an Hour.

According to Prof Simon Newcomb,
the great astronomer, the most im-
portant achievement in astronomy
during the nineteenth century was the
determination OF the rate of speed at
which the solar system is moving
through space. Astronomers are now
able TO say with certainty that the sun,
moon and stars are all going some
where at the rate of 10000 miles All
hour. Where they started from and
whittier they are bound are questions
which must be left for future sci-
entists to solve. At any rate, says the
Chicago Tribune, the discovery is suf-
ficient to emphasize the unimportance
of men i'm the scheme of the universe.
The widest dream of human inventors
looks forward to the distant day when
il will be possible to travel over the
surface of the earth at the rate of 100
or 200 miles in 60 minutes. Meanwhile
the whole solar system sweeps through
space at rate of speed entirely be-
yond human comprehension. The only
way to get even suggestion of what
IL means is to imagine travelling more
than one and a half times around the
world between noon and one o'clock.
Alarmists who like To picture the aw-
full possibilities Of a sudden failure %
the laws which govern the harmony Of
the spheres can hardly find a more
fruitful subject for their imagination
than in considering what would hap
pen II the solar system, now running
lt 10000 miles an hour, should be in.
stantly brought to stop. Certainly
srace wor,l3 he fllcd with a flying con.
fusion of scattered worlds and shiv-
cred stars.

AGRICULTURE.
now 1T WILL BE REPRESENTED AT
THE PAN-AMERlcAN.

The Most Elaborate Display of All
Interests Connected with the Soil,
Embracing Every Product of the
; Farm and Articles Manufactured
Therefrom.
Since prehistoric times agriculture
has been the most important industry
in all American countries. In the
United States about one-half of the
population is now engaged in some oc-
rupation connected with the cultivation
of the soil. With proper consideration
Of these vast and growing interests,
the managers of the Pan-American
have dedicated more than half Of the
Exposition space TO the products of
the farm and the many articles manu-
featured therefrom.
The Agricultural building is one OF
the largest and handsomest on the
grounds, while the Dairy building,
with its contents, is a fair in itself.
Sixteen separate buildings are devoted
TO live stock besides a model stable
that is practically and scientifically in
advance Of anything so far attempted.
Besides all this, one-quarter of the
great Liberal Arts building is devoted
TO food products, and many of the ex-
hibits In other parts of the building
may be traced directly or indirectly TO
the soil.
The Stadium with fits One-quarter
mile track win be devoted at certain
times to the exhibition of live stock,
including many kinds Of animals not
generally considered in the latitude OF
Buffalo as belonging TO the farm.
One of the most elaborate Horticul-
tural buildings ever planned stands IN
a conspicuous section Of the grounds,
which will be stocked with such lux
urious assortment Of fruits from every
section Of North and South American
countries as to easily outclass any for
mer attempt Ia this direction.
Forestry is represented in a charac-
teristic building, built of logs, which IS
in itself typical Of natures spontaneous
outgrowth for the preservation and con
servation Of moisture. Exhibits con
tained In this odd structure will show
how subtle is the connection between
successful farming and proper forest
preserve.
In the windmill section will be shown
many varieties of the latest and best
samples Of this useful power generator,
together with useful applications Of
this inexpensive energy to the relief
and profit of the farmer In many
branches Of agricultural business.
We now come to the Machinery and
Transportation building, which is 900
feet long by $50 feet in width. every

The kiosk will also contain the offices
of the Porto Rican commissioners, and
IL will be a general headquarters for In
formation concerning the country.
The Island will have 100 square feet
OF space in the Agriculture building
and the same space in the Horticulture
building for exhibits.
Most of the space allotted to the Is
land in the Agriculture building viii be
occupied by comprehensive exhibit OF
sugar. coffee and tobacco in various
stages of growth and manufacture.
Nearly every species of plants and
trees of the Island which will bear
transportation viii be sent TO Buffalo
Besides everything produced and
manufactured on the Island, instruct
i've tables OF information have been
prepared which will be invaluable TO
agriculturists and others intending to
invest in Porto Rico.
