THE COPYRIGHT LAW.

First Measure Passed For the Pro-
lection of Literary Property.
April 10, 171O, is n noteworthy date
in the history Of literature. On that
day came into operation an act "for
the encouragement Of learning by vest
ing the copies of printed books in the
authors or purchasers Of such copies"
This was the first measure passed for
the protection of literary property.
The word copyright" according to
DR.. Murray, was not used before 1907.
In the preamble of the bill, which is
said to have been drafted by Dean
Swift, the necessity Of q measure ito
enable learned men to write useful
books" is dwelt upon. BY its pro-
visions two terms of copyright each
Of fourteen years, were created for all
future publications, one term to follow
Immediately upon the other if the au-
thor were still living at the expiration
of the first term.
According to a subsidiary clause, if
any publisher issued book at q price
Judged too high by certain discreet
persons" he was liable to a penalty.
The discreet persons" included, among
others, the archbishop of Canterbury,
the lord chancellor and the vice cham
cellors of oxford and Cambridge On
them devolved the somewhat delicate
task Of fixing the books value. This
clause was repealed in 1879, but the
term Of copyright remained unaltered
until 1870, when it was extended to the
life Of the author and seven years, or
forty-two years from the date of publ
cation, whichever may prove longer.
England was the first country thus to
protect the rights Of authors. France
followed suit in 1893, but in Germany
no copyright law existed until 1s70.-

sIIssed q Good Dinner.

A doctor living in a certain country
town was notoriously fond of good liv-
ing. He had accepted an invitation to
dine with friends, but as he climbed
their steps he smelt venison cooking in
the kitchen next door.
The neighbors being also his friends
he resolved to drop in on them unex-
pectedly to partake Of the venison.
They pressed him to share their in
formal dinner, but when he refused
both soup and fish his host began to
apologize for the simple fare.
The doctor then confessed that he
was waiting for the venison, which he
had. .smelt as he came in.
ooh. that venison," said his enter
tainer, eve were roasting to oblige our
neighbors, who have a dinner party

AN OWL STORY.
Showing tle Tyrnnnous Eject OF
Hnbif Upon n WiId Animal.

Showing tlc Tyrnnnous Eject of
Habit Upon "A Wiid Animal.
An English publication tells this in
teresting story of an owl;
A vague figure appeared out Of the
clouds. travelling against the wind to-
ward the spire and looking more like a
ragged piece Of newspaper whirled
about the heavens than any living
thing. 1t was a white OWL and after
watching him for some time | came 10
the conclusion that he was trying to
get TO the vane Of the spire. A very
idle ambition 1t seemed. for, although
he succeeded again and again in get
ting to within n few yards of the
point aimed at, he was on each occa-
sion struck by fresh violent gust and
driven back to a great distance, often
quite out Of sight in the gloom. But
presently he would reappear, still
struggling to reach the vane. A crazy
bird.
But l could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive in aiming at that windy
lcitu tOulu ht. Anu At ldols UlNtI 81
many defeats, he succeeded and
grasped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talons. The wind with all its
fury could not tear him from it, and
after a little tapping he was able to
pull himself up. and then, bending
down. he deliberately wiped his beak
on the bar and flew away
This, then. had been his powerful,
mysterious motive-just to wipe his
beak, which he could very well have
wiped on any branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor. This was an extreme in
stance of that tyrannous effect of hab-
it on a wild animal. Doubtless this
bird had been accustomed after de-
vouring his first mouse to fly to the
vane, where he could rest for a few
minutes. taking a general view of the
place. and wipe his beak at the same
time, and the habit had become so
strong that he could not forego his Wis
it even on so tempestuous an evening.
