The conspicuous honor of being the
largest island in the world has been
held by quite n number of islands at
various stages Of geographical knowl-
edge. School children were taught for
many years that Australia was the
largest island, Then Australia came
properly to be recognized as one of teh
continental masses and Bornco took its
place as the largest island. Less than
twenty years ago it was discovered
that New Guinea was larger than Bor-
neo ana so the latter island took sec
ond place. When Peary practically
outlined the northern coast of Green
land, early i'm m" last decade, eeog-
raphcrs began to think that they had
overlooked ln important section Of the
earth's sruldcc and so they placed
Greenland at the head of the lis of
islands. At last Baftin Land looms up
as an island zoos statute miles i'm

zoo to 500 miles Its area is, therefore.
about 100000 Sqaurc miles. In other
words the island Is larger than the
safe Of Texas by about 10000 square
miles or about ten times as large as
either scotland or Ireland. Though it
takes its place as second in the list
of islands Batiin Land appears to be of
no great value, since it is composed.

ticular. From the granting of the in

shops of the company, whore pickets
had been maintained night and morn
ing, quiet prevailed. The pickets were
withdrawn, acts of violence ceased,
and every man working for the COM
pany had no trouble in purchasing the

Many Of the workmen have returned
to work and, in view of the circum-
stances, 1t was agreed that the rule To

The grcat-in fact the very great
majority of people who take books
from the Scranton Public library dur
ing the summer season, read fiction.
OF course, fiction is read more than
any other class of literature, but in
these dog days there are very few
people indeed who read anything else
and the percentage of students who
can read Darwin or Schoepenhauer
with the thermometer registering up
in the nineties is very small
A Tribune man consulted the records
at the library yesterday and learned
therefrom that the average daily num-
ber of books taken out during the
month of July was 3S7 only, as COM
pared with asa for March, the latter
being the highest recorded during the
year.
The total number of books taken
out during July was 9,9l4, of which
6,167 were fiction and l,97S young peo-
pies works. The other books taken
out were classified as follows: Phlo-
sophy, 65 theology. So; sociology, 81;
philology, So; natural science, III;
useful arts, 1856; fine arts. 125; litera-
ture, 25l; poetry and drama, 1874:
travel %; biography, l72; history, Isl;
polypraphy, 343.
The total number of works of fic-
ton taken out in big" month like
March is $685., and the total number
of books 12,23o. the number of the
more serious class of works being
about double the number taken out in
July.
What are the works of fiction for
which there is the greatest demand?'
asked the Tribune man.

An Excellent Combination.

The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
SYRUP OF FIGs, manufactured by the
CALIFORNIA FIG SYRUP Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa-
tive principles of plants known to be
incidentally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable TO the system. 1t
is the one perfect strengthening laxa-
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispclling colds, headaches and fcvers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per-
maucntly. Its perfect freedom from
every Objectionable quality and sub
stance, and it's acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
In the process of manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the CALIFORNIA FIa SYRUP
Co only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid limitations, please

The assistant librarian found, after
consulting the list of books for which
cards have been left, that just now
the greatest demand is for Winston
Churchill's THE Crisis This novel
has only been published about two
months. but there are no less than
seventeen cards on file in the library
calling for it. There are but three

seventeen persons who have sacri-

to wait for two months before they

1t isn't, as a rule, such terrible

are waiting are Bertha Runkes "The

| The assistant librarian said that
there is a continual demand for Hope s
"Zenda" stories, but said that the de-
mand for Rudyard Kipling's books
had fallen off wonderfully.
I'VE used to have cards waiting for
| Kipling's books, but they are now
taken out very irregularly," said she.
This is in line with the statement
recently made in a literary period-
cal to the effect that the sale of Kip
ling's works has fallen off largely in
the last year. and that the English
author was losing his vogue.
